    Tried dolsot bibimbap. It was legit and made awesome crackly bits of rice at the bottom. One of the better Korean restaurants in Boston.

    Keep your eye open for Ma Soba groupons! $15 for $30 of Ma Soba, can't go wrong. They offer them a few times a year.

    Pretty solid Japanese and Korean fare being dished up here. Their sushi is good as are their dumplings and noodle dishes.

    Instant miso soup, yuck - the Korean pancake wasn't crispy and just swimming in fat, service was a bit dumb and the meat also didn't feel right with me

    The sundrop roll is something different but so good! Mango, shrimp, avocado, and cucumber = amazing combo! Vegas roll is superb too!

    Sushi is awesome. Don't forget to get a sweet potato roll. The orange chicken is not what you're expecting...

    Good udon soup. There's a health club above with machines. Discretely ask the waiter to sit you away from where they might cause shaking.

    Go with friends, order as many sushi rolls as you can afford, top with some 22oz Kirin Ichibans, and you won't be disappointed.
