New Korean buffet barbecue in Boston

🍖 K-town BBQ: Boston’s New All-You-Can-Eat K-BBQ—Fresh Meat, Great Value, and Service That Cares A solid new spot—open just five months—and worth the drive (it’s a bit outside downtown). For an all-you-can-eat with high-quality meat, it’s a steal: premium options clock in under $50 per person. The service? Exceptional—they start grilling for you, keep pushing more meat (“You sure you don’t want another plate?”), and genuinely want you to leave full. 🔥 The Standouts Thinly Sliced Ribeye: 5 stars. The best on the menu—tender, juicy, and perfectly marbled. Cook it quick, and it’s melt-in-your-mouth good. Octopus: 4 stars. A pleasant surprise. Clean, tender, and not rubbery—though it’s mild (needs sauce to pop). Still, better than expected for an AYCE spot. 😐 The “Meh” Ones Beef Tongue: 3 stars. Edible, but the cut is tough—nowhere near as tender as Koreana’s version. Fine for a craving, but not memorable. Self-Serve Veggies: Standard fare. Edamame is just okay; the eggs? A little burnt. Soft-Serve Ice Cream: 2 stars. Basic, no-frills—skip it unless you need something sweet to end the meal. 🚨 The Big Flaw: Spicy = Jalapeño Warning: Their idea of “spicy” is just jalapeños—no gochujang heat, no Korean chili kick. If you love bold, spicy K-BBQ sauces, you’ll be disappointed. The sauces here are underwhelming, dragging down otherwise good meat. 🥩 My Boston K-BBQ Ranking (Meat Quality Only) Naksan Gyu-Kaku K-town BBQ (AYCE) Koreana SURA (AYCE) Korean Garden BBQ 💡 Verdict For AYCE, this is top-tier—fresh meat, great service, and unbeatable value. Just bring your own gochujang if you need spice. It’s no Naksan, but it’s way better than Sura. 📍 K-town BBQ: A must for big eaters or groups—just don’t expect Korean spice. #BostonKoreanBBQ #AllYouCanEat #MeatLovers
