Naksan Korean BBQ

Naksan Korean BBQ on Commonwealth Avenue is built around barbecue at the table, with beef combinations and Korean short ribs among the choices. Ordering several cuts gives a group something to share as the meal cooks. Kimchi pancakes and soybean stew offer additions beyond the grill, so there’s room to make dinner more than an order of meat.

Plan the visit around the restaurant’s reservation rules. Naksan lists Friday and Saturday dinner as walk-in only and asks groups larger than seven to call. Weekdays start with dinner service, while Saturday and Sunday open at noon. It’s a meal to leave time for, especially with several people choosing food together, rather than a quick stop for something to carry away.
