Korean-Mexican fusion tacos, fried chicken, and bowls
"The double-fried, shatteringly crisp wings with yang yum sauce — a symphony of gochujang fermented chili paste, garlic, sugar, and a ton of spices — at Coreanos are some of the best in the entire city." - Erika Adams
"You’ll probably be tempted to go right to the taco section of the menu at this tiny counter-service Korean spot on Brighton Ave. We don’t blame you - Korean-Mexican fusion tends to be awesome, and the bulgogi tacos here are no exception. But don’t overlook the more traditional Korean dishes like the tteokbokki, a big plate of rice and fish cakes served with vegetables in a sweet chili sauce. It’s outstanding and, if you add in the ramen and cheese, you’ll have enough left over for a second meal." - dan secatore
"The Korean-Mexican fusion tacos at this tiny counter-service spot are the main draw here, and they’re awesome (start with the bulgogi). But the standard Korean stuff like the tteokbokki is worth exploring, too, especially since, if you add the ramen and cheese, you’ll probably get two meals out of your $16." - dan secatore
"Coreanos serves up a unique style of Korean and Mexican fusion — think kimchi fritas, bulgogi quesadillas, and fried chicken wings with spicy garlic soy sauce. Their bibimbap with pan-fried vegetables comes with a practically slurpable hot sauce. Coreanos has been in business for seven years and continues to hold the torch for possibly the best restaurant in Allston." - Lala Thaddeus
"Kimchi fritas are a signature take here: French fries piled with kimchi, cheese, scallions, and a fried egg, with optional proteins like bulgogi, spicy pork, kalbi short rib, chicken, or fried tofu; the dish is noted for a well-balanced interplay of salt, fat, acid, and heat. It operates as a Korean-fusion spot on Brighton Avenue and offers takeout and delivery." - Eater
