It is known as the best authentic Korean barbecue in Boston š
š New Jang Su Korean BBQ: Bostonās Beloved K-BBQ SpotāFlavorful, Homey, but Pricey After a year on my āto-tryā list (thanks to endless recommendations every time I post about Korean BBQ), I finally visited. Spoiler: It lives up to the hypeāthough my wallet felt it. If I had to rank Bostonās K-BBQ spots? New Jang Su ties with Naksan (havenāt been to Naksan this year, but past visits hold up). Both beat Kayuga (which has slipped), Koreana, and definitely Sura (a letdown). š„ The Must-Orders Marinated Short Ribs: 5 stars. Tender, melt-in-your-mouth, and perfectly seasonedāso good, we didnāt need extra sauce. The catch? $40 for a plate, which breaks down to ~$4 per rib. Splurge-worthy, but ouch. Spicy Pork Belly: 5 stars. A pleasant surpriseāmarinated with veggies (no need to order extras), so every bite has a fresh crunch. Nothing like the pre-packaged spicy pork belly from Hmartāthis tastes homemade, with a depth of flavor that screams āhandcrafted.ā š„£ Solid Sips Soolongtang (Ox Bone Soup): 4 stars. Warm, comforting, and packed with meatāideal for cold days. The broth has a strong black pepper kick (I prefer the kalbi soup at Allstonās Seoul Soulongtang, even if that oneās likely from a mix). Still, satisfying. š” The Verdict Flavor-wise, this is top-tierā homey in the best way, with attention to seasoning that elevates every bite. But (value) is lackingāportions donāt match the price tag. If youāre in the area and donāt mind splurging, itās a must. For budget eaters? Maybe save it for a special occasion. š New Jang Su Korean BBQ: Worth the hype, but bring your appetite (and your credit card). #BostonKoreanBBQ #FoodieFinds #SplurgeWorthy
