I loved this place! The food was amazing and the portions were so big and filling. If you like bibimbap then this is a great place to visit!!! The only downside is that it’s winter and it was freezing inside but the worker was kind and gave us free tea. Don’t listen to the reviews that say this place is bad because it’s definitely not! Such a great find :) Will be heading back when I’m in the area!

Yesterday, I grabbed food for 8 people, and we were thoroughly impressed. Sharon Korean Kitchen consistently goes above and beyond with its amazing and authentic flavors, attention to detail, and cleanliness. I really hope they continue to thrive and succeed for years to come!

The decor is very typical franchise feel, well lighted, roomy but lack personality. But the food here is very authentic. The silky tofu stew was amazing, plenty of flavor, truck and soul warming. I asked with seafood and it was even better. The spicy beef soup was very good was well. Will definitely come back to try other dishes. Protip. If you want it spicier ask for it. They will make it more.

Good option for fast casual Korean food. MSG. Many Korean restaurants in Boston tend to shy away from using too much of it, likely due to its negative perception in Korea. The result? Fast-casual Korean dishes often lean heavily on sugar, which leads to a sweeter taste that doesn’t quite match up with their authentic counterparts. Sharon Korean Kitchen isn’t the first place I’ve noticed using MSG, but here, it was unmistakably in the spotlight. While some light appetizers, like dumplings and crispy seaweed noodle rolls, come pre-made, most of the dishes—especially the meats—had a noticeable MSG presence that was hard to miss. So far, I’ve tried their Kimchi fried rice, spicy beef soup, beef short rib soup, and the bulgogi bibimbap. Aside from the bulgogi, every dish delivered a crazy umami punch. I’m not opposed to MSG in fast-casual kitchens, and Sharon Kitchen’s use of it was well-executed, without being too overwhelming. The Kimchi fried rice and beef soup, in particular, were addictively good—possibly the best versions I’ve had in the city, flavor-wise. Still, it’s hard to give all the credit to the kitchen when MSG is doing most of the heavy lifting. Overall, the food here reminded me of the quality you'd find at rest stops in Korea, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it’s the perfect spot to satisfy my guilty pleasure for Korean fast food. If you’re not against MSG, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Yummy comfort Korean fast food. Clean and welcoming atmosphere. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of day. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was better than expected. Definitely better than options at H Mart. I would recommend to anyone. Good quality and fair prices.

Good food and amazing service -- we came in for a slow weekend lunch, and even though you order at the counter they made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Loved loved loved the beef short rib stew, everything else was just solid standard Korean comfort food.

It was the first time for us trying Korean food and we weren't dissapointed. We found this place casually, looking online while being in the area. We took an apetizer Crispy Seaweed Noodle Rolls, the Kimchi Stew, the Chicken Katsu and the Bulgogi Bibimbap. To drink we took a water and a Fruity Passion Tea with mango boba pearls. The apetizer was interesting, but unusual, definitely an acquired taste with the tansparent noodle, but I liked that it was light despite being fried. The Chicken Katsu was really good, fried and crunchy and savory without adding any souces to it, but even better with one. The Kimchi Stew was delicios, hot like lava initially, so you have to give it a moment, but it was very flavourful and less spicy that I was expecting, which is a plus for me as I don't eat super spicy foods. So if you want to try it but you are afraid it is too spicy, give it a chance. The Bulgogi Bibimbap was also delicious, I didn't expect the portion to be so big and to have such a variety of veggies. There were a mix of steamed zucchini, spinach, sprouts, carots ad probably some raddish, aroud a bed of white rice and topped with the beef and the egg, all flavored enough, but if you want they give you some sauces to add, which I did because I like trying them all. I had a very good first impression, and if I weren't living so far, I would definitely come more often to try more menu items. I also liked the service, you can order from your phone with a QR code on the table, the place seemed very clean and with a lot of natural light coming in from the wall high windows. I liked that the waiter did a very thorough cleaning of the table next to us after the big party of people left. The ambience music was ok, although I expected some korean k-pop to be there to fit the theme better, but it wasn't bad at all. The price for being so close to Boston wasn't expensive at all, we paid around 75 for all this, with taxes and tip included. I reccomend it to everyone to try it.
