My favorite Boston Korean place in Boston is in Allston Village. It's not a far walk from Coolidge Corner and a quick 66 bus ride from Harvard Square. The eats are on the cheaper side and are still made the with the love of ten grandmothers. You won't be asked to grill your own food or cook your own soup - these folks prepare everything in back.
Two things bring me back: the sweet and spicy goodness of the best fried chicken in Boston (Color Chicken - small or large order) and the roasted corn tea (served hot in winter and iced in the summer). Sure the service is always nice and there are many other dishes worth eating (tteokbokki, various jigaes, and free side dishes in tasting portions), but in the end all I really want to do is scarf down plenty of fried chicken and wash it down with a delicious beverage - the oksusu cha is as good as anything else since this no-alcohol establishment doesn't serve any ice cold brewskis.
Color Korean Cuisine always hits the spot. It's small, so don't bring only your closest friends. It still seems to be a Korean insider spot, but be not alarmed. Don't be afraid if you call the restaurant and someone answers in Korean... don't even worry if they continue to speak Korean after you've exchanged a few sentences in English, eventually they'll get the idea and speak to you in English. Also remember that these restaurant folks observe the "Lord's Day," so make sure to stop by from Monday through Saturday only.

Bahahaha I just saw that I made an appearance on ur blog in this post. Man, I miss that chicken. You would think there would be an equivalent here in SoCal but I haven't found it yet. Although I have been eating a lot of all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ since I've been back
