kimchipapi

kimchipapi on Harvard Avenue combines Korean street food with rice and noodle bowls. The corn dogs come with beef hot dog, mozzarella or a mixture of both, wrapped in coatings such as breadcrumbs, potato or Hot Cheetos. If you’re after a snack, one of those is an easy place to start; for lunch, the bowls give you a more substantial order.

The menu includes bibimbap, fried chicken over rice, and bowls with raw salmon, vegetables and sauces. Vegetarian choices include tofu with mango and avocado. There are also rice cakes in gochujang sauce and fries topped with kimchi, cheese and a fried egg. Check the branch-specific menu when ordering: this is the Allston shop at 81 Harvard Avenue, and the different bowl sections have different customization rules.
