Restaurant: Buk Kyung I, Somerville, MA


Buk Kyung (Somerville) is the place to go for Korean-Chinese food in the Boston area. I'm not being casually racist here--what I mean by this is that the main draw for food here is what you would call "Chinese food" in Korea. I've heard it called Korean-style Chinese, Chinese-style Korean, or even that these flavors are what's traditionally eaten in Northern China.

I wouldn't say that Buk Kyung is the same as going to a restaurant in Korea. But it's pretty close and takes a spot as one of the better Korean restaurants in Boston. There are two Buk Kyung restaurants in the Boston area: the one in Somerville (I) and one in Allston (II). Though the Allston location is a little more convenient in terms of public transportation and parking, the food actually is slightly different in taste, and I prefer the Somerville location. The Somerville location recently remodeled, and now has a more similar interior to the Allston counterpart.
