Kaju Korean Cuisine — Allston

There’s nothing like walking by a place to get the vibe of it. Kaju reeks of truth. A glimpse through the window shows a cart loaded with bubbling stone pots arriving at a table already loaded with banchan and Korean pancakes, busy even before the evening peak. This place is GREAT. Unprepossessing, humble, diversely but strictly Korean, with a very high quality-per-dollar ratio. It’s been voted Best in Boston more than once. Go !

Always a good experience at Kaju (formerly called Kaju Tofu House)! They hvae a wide variety of Korean apps, soups, noodle and rice dishes, and a BBQ choices. Their soups are a must--absolutely wonderful! Limited seating and parking can be tough in the area, but it is worth it for this excellent spot a bit off the beaten path in Allston's Koreantown.

Came on a Saturday night so there unsurprisingly was a wait- the like moved faster than we expected though. I got the soup and bullfight combo and we shared a pajun. Portions were perfect and the food was all tasty and up to standard.

Kaju is THE BEST Korean restaurant I’ve been to in the Boston area! The food is flavorful and fresh, and the service is excellent. They can get busy in the evenings and weekends but it is well worth the wait.

We ordered the Seafood Soup and Pork Belly combo as well as a Kimchi Pancake. The Kimchi Pancake was super delicious, and the soup was extremely comforting with lots of seafood inside. Pork Belly was a bit disappointing, as it was a bit dry and didn’t have too much flavor.
