OliToki

Seemed like a cute little place and I thought the ratings were good, but guess I should’ve read the most recent reviews because all of them I agree with. Got a chicken and tofu combo bowl, and it tasted like a reheated lunch. The tofu and chicken were very mid and flavorless, and only the veggies had sauce, leaving the bowl with overall very little flavor.

Super delicious and affordable food - great for take out (maybe not so much for dining in)! This place has a really nice selection of Korean fusion dishes. The food, for what it is (elevated fast food), is great value for money - it tastet delicious and hits the sweet spot, at least for me. I also like it way better than Coreanos or Kimchi Papi. Would highly recommend for a quick bite or a take -out. Only went to sit-in once and it was not super pleasant inside.

Our UberEats delivery driver accidentally forgot 3/4 of our bags of food in my and my coworkers’ group order. We called the store asking if we could still get the food and the owner himself delivered the bags to us. He could not have been kinder and the food was incredible. Thank you so much!

Small cozy space with good Korean food. As someone who is not familiar with the food, they were very kind to explain the dishes. Food was really quick and it was delicious and the portion is very generous. Will come back for sure. Also, ambience is simple and welcoming. I had the fried rice kimchi bowl with chicken.

I was really hoping the kimchi burrito would be fire because the photo looked delicious. Unfortunately, it was really flavorless and left me with awful gas and stomach pain. The LETTUCE was the most flavorful part of the burrito, THE LETTUCE. I think they forgot to put the sauce in or it wasn’t even distributed in the filling. The tofu was pretty soggy and tasted unseasoned/unmarinated.

I was hopeful that the food would be good here, but unfortunately it's not. We ordered the chicken & tofu combo bowl with a side of tater tots and spam musubi. The tater tots were supposed to come with ramen seasoning. Instead, we received plain tater tots that tasted like what you can buy at your local grocery store, just without salt. Our entire order was flavorless minus the spam and the soy garlic chicken tasted old.

Good food, good staff. It’s kind of a takeout place. Definitely try the rice balls. They have good fried tofu. They do have place to sit but it’s not that good. I would rather suggest to do a takeout. Boneless chicken was good too, try it with the in-house special sauce.

Love their burritos and tacos, but everyone sleeping on the rice bowls and snacks! Spam and tofu musubi made perfectly.

I've ordered from OliToki for catered group meals and they've always been a hit! I really like the Korean fusion flavors and ingredients, and the customizability of most of the bowl, tater tot, and burrito orders. Delivery on EZCater and Grubhub has been consistently on time for our large orders. This place hits the spot for munchie cravings!

Double chicken and broccoli rice bowl: Good amount of chicken pieces with broccoli and some spicy sauce. The chicken is kinda dry and bland. Its as if it was over cooked while boiled in some flavored broth. The broccoli may have been just steamed. The spicy sauce tastes more like sriracha. The rice was not great...it was as if they added too much water so the rice was mushy. The bowl contains a good amount of food but after several bites, you get fatigued by the constant chewing with minimal reward on flavor and texture. I finished it across 2 meals. I'd recommend resisting the urge get this and try something else. The "Large" bulgogi and cheese eggroll is anything but large. Its a typical egg roll...don't be mislead by pictures or descriptions to make you think its anything special in size. Biting into this made me feel something pasty and cheesy. It would've been nice to have bulgogi beef that had to be chewed. Its mostly cheese flavoring and perhaps its the bulgogi that was the pasty part. Not good and I cannot recommend this. The OliToki Tteokbokki - This was the better dish, but not without opportunity. There are a lot of tteokbokki pieces in there, which is good. If you like onions, then you're also in luck as there are plenty of that. If you like saucy and spicy, then ding ding ding you win again! My complaint, and maybe this is tedious, theres nothing else in there. Most other places I go to for tteokbokki has fish cake slices and cabbage. This one does not. I'm pretty sure I'll overlook this place next time I'm craving korean food, as there are so many options in the Allston/Brighton area that are proven to be better, IMHO. At the same time, I've never heard of this place until today...so maybe they are new and will get better.

We got take out delivery via Uber Eats from OliToki. The tteokbokki was a bit over-cooked, and the chicken add-on in the kimchi fried rice was very dry. Definitely tastes like fusion food rather than authentic, which is what we expected. Overall very filling!

Was looking for a late night snack and luckily this was one of the few places open past midnight. Parking in the area is usually difficult, but it was easy this late at night. There's extremely limited seating. Appreciated the creativity of the menu. We ended up just ordering from the munchies menu. My favorite was the cheesy kimchi fried rice balls with the sauce drizzled over it. I'm interested in coming back to try a meal.

Pretty good! Ordered pickup through UberEats and got the BOGO boneless chicken and the bulgogi burritos. The chicken was pretty good, just wish they put more sauce on it, and we air fried the fries when we got back to warm them up and the bits of sauce turned into an A+ glaze . The burritos were also pretty good, but the beef was a little sweet/had some strange dry hard bits I wasn't a huge fan of. Still love all the other fillings though, and recommend throwing it on a pan to get the tortilla hot and crispy!

A bit disappointing. The boneless chicken has a thick batter, much like what you can get at any fast food place. The sauce was fine, very standard guchujang with little other flavoring.

The front of house server was super nice to me and my friend after a pretty terrible time getting there! Thank you so much! The food was super good and very worth the price, I'd come back more often if I didn't live so far away!

The idea of this place is fun. It's menu is limited but each of the items are well thought through. Pricing was fine. They had many take out orders happening when we were eating. I think they do most of their business as takeout which makes sense given the area

This place is so good. I got the extra chicken with rice bowl and it was loaded. Everything was super fresh and delicious.

my first time at olitoki wasn't the greatest but this time really brought their ranking in my book UP! i got the boneless wings with olitoki sauce.. heavenly the chicken stays crispy even with a great coating of sauce! the chicken isn't at all dry and the sauce has a little spice! definitely recommend but beware inside the place is always hot and no ac

We got takeout from there and the food was bomb. The Toki Tochos and the wings were so amazing and literally everything we got from there was so good. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious. Great fusion. I got takeout and the food was still spectacular. I will say, personally, it's the kind of place u go to once every 3 months -- the flavor pallet gets repetitive. But again it is DELISH.

I ordered food from here on UberEats and was super excited to get the 2 tofu bowls for $15 and they were pretty good for what I paid for. Yummy sauce but very light on the toppings. My biggest issue was with the tteokbokki (one of my favorite dishes that I've had many times from many places and even made myself). The rice cakes were extremely overcooked and had the texture of mashed potatoes and the sauce tasted exactly like spagetti-o's. I feel like this place has a lot of potential but I was really disappointed. I'm hoping to try some other dishes another time

Ordered take out from here which arrived on time through uber eats. For appetizers we shared the fried rice balls and the chicken wings. Since it was take out, of course the items had cooled down since being packaged. That includes the cheese in the fried rice balls and since they may have rolled around, there wasn't enough sauce to balance the dry mouth feel. Serving some on the side would be better packaging for take out. Additionally, the batter on the wings lacked that crispy layer to hold onto the sweet and spicy sauce which tasted good. They were on the smaller side but we're still moist. I had to Olitoki burrito with bulgogi which was decent but not anything to rave about. My friend got a quesadilla which was not cut up but directly thrown into a container. The spam and eggs Bowl was very straightforward. Overall, not very excited with our meal from here. Probably will not order takeout again.

DELICIOUS!!! And the person at the counter was so nice!!! I got a Burrodilla with the bulgogi beef, extra spicy with a fried egg (btw, it wasn't crazy spicy). It cost around $14.50. It filled me up but I didn't have any leftovers. Anyway, it was PHENOMENAL and I swung back 1.5 hr later to get a second one to take home!!! I recommend to go for bigger parties because the restaurant space is kind of small XD

I ordered takeout here a while ago. First impression was atrocious. I ordered 2 of each bowl and there were 2 items in total. The food tastes like frozen food. The chicken they put doesn't taste home made at all, only tastes like starch. The bowl resembles the KFC bowl but it is way worse than KFC bowl. The bowls are shallow, you can even see the bottom of the container on the second picture. The order should have lettuce and kimchi in them but there is nothing. The two bowls are $13, absolutely scam. The worst part is, I picked it up myself and it seems like they didn't even check the order. Would never order here again.

Obviously the food was delicious!! I loved the ambiance, very low key but so cute too! I didn't buy a drink but the person at the front still offered me some water which I thought was really kind.

Spam musubi was excellent (islander- approved!!)! Spam was fried nice and crisp, sauce was good. Also enjoyed the pork dumplings. They were generously filled and fried to perfection with nice little dough bubbles.

This is the perfect fusion burrita. Took me back to the west coast. And the creativity of the whole menu is really impressive -- bulgogi egg rolls? All of it is absolutely delicious.

Ordered delivery a couple times and never been dissapointed ! Food & Quality: Definetly recommend the bulgogi beef and cheese egg rolls crispy perfection with the flavorful chili sauce. My partner loves their Olitoki flavored boneless wings, also crispy and generous with the sauce without them being soggy. It has a bit of a kick so take their spice levels seriously! This was also my first experience trying Spam and Spicy Spam musubi. The rice to Spam ratio is great and honestly two of these with a starter fill me up! You wouldn't think simple Spam could be so flavorful but the seasoning and Teriyaki sauce they add is scrumptious. Their portions are consistently generous even for sides of ramen tater tots and fries which I found was a great combo to have tater tots and fries for those looking to try both or who are indecisive like myself.

This is an older review I forgot to publish. We ordered delivery from OliToki because it seemed unique. My brother and I split: Bacon Kimchi and Cheese Fried Rice Balls, Classic Chicken Wings, Quesa-Kimchi-Rito with Spicy Pork and Totchos with Bulgogi Beef which ended up being $35 with tax. I liked the fried rice balls, but my brother did not. I thought the use of what I think was sticky rice (maybe it was just cheese) was good, but my brother didn't like the consistency. We both loved the totchos. The chicken wings were good but not special. The quesa-kimchi-rito was good but we wished it was more burrito than quesadilla.

The Toki Totchos are unbelievable!! My boyfriend and I absolutely love the Toki Totchos, it's our favorite thing to get here. He's a vegetarian so he orders it with crispy tofu; I prefer the Bulgogi Beef. We both love adding a fried egg to it. Honestly you will not regret it, you need to try this right now if you haven't. All the great things on the menu that I've gotten from here: - Toki Totchos - Boneless wings with the OliToki sauce - OliToki Burrito - Kimchi Fried Rice & Egg Bowl - Vegetable Dumplings - Vegetarian Kimchi Dumplings My boyfriend also loves the Cheesy Kimchi Rice Balls but I don't think I've actually ever eaten them so I can't speak to that. I'm very excited to try the Burilla sometime soon, which a friend recently recommended to me that I go for next. OliToki continues to remain a staple for us. We've never come to sit here for a meal, but enjoy regular takeout. Truly one of the best.

One of my go to takeout places. Amazing blend of Mexican and Korean? Rice both and burrito are both phenomenal.

Amazing food and great service! We always get the spam musubi and the kimchi burillo. This is our fave fusion place in the neighborhood!

Really great fusion korean food! I had the olitoki burrito with bulgogi and was not disappointed. Highly recommend

Egg roll and KimChi Rice ball was overcooked and somewhat salty. It would taste better if it not salty

Best RAMEN Fries EVER!! Seriously they are AMAZING!! I love them, dream of them! Don't walk, RUN to go try them!

Throughly impressed by this place! Stumbled across them on DoorDash and just tried to pick a few things to try. First off, everything was packed extremely well. Food was still warm and nothing lost its shape or crispness in transit. So, the food. Everything we got was amazing. We scarfed it all down within 20 minutes. The flavor of the kimchi in the burrito was just right - it wasn't too much spicy. And the fried tofu was amazing. The rice ball was crispy, rich, and everything I didn't know I needed. We also got the beef and cheese egg rolls (not pictured because we ate them too quickly), delish. Finally the kimchi fried rice bowl with beef - that beef is perfectly seasoned and flavored. The tangy cucumbers mixed with the spicy rice and the flavorful slightly sweet beef was amazing. Unfortunately the egg did come much more cooked than it should as I believe the yolk should be runny but it most likely continued to cook when it was laid to rest with all the flavorful goodness for delivery. This will be a new go-to every time I visit Boston!

Ahhhhhh. Haha great sounding menu, but the food just is not cooked well. At all. It may look delicious but when we bit into the kimchi fried rice balls, they were super dense, the cheese wasn't stringy and melted it was kind of just mixed in poorly. The rice wasn't seasoned well and it was smothered in actually good tasting sauce but it was like.... Smothered to death. The burrito was bland and crap. The kimchi rice is pretty flavorless, veggies were fresh but not seasoned, the tofu was dry and cold, and the wrap wasn't even grilled. This place is a great idea... maybe you guys just need a more experienced cook? Also had the totachos a while back and was also underwhelmed. They looked nice at least ‍

Good, quick food with some vegetarian/vegan options. The pressed burritos and the tots are so good. They have vegan kimchi and some other options which is unique as well.

Support local restaurants during quarantine ya'll! Tried this place thanks to Caviar. Currently my sister's go-to delivery place specifically for Asian food. Meats are very flavorful, and don't require all the sauce that comes with it. I'd recommend getting sauces on the side. ALSO, highly, highly recommend the cheesy kimchi fried rice ball. Basically an Asian version of arancinis. Total comfort food. Perfect for a night spent in while social distancing.

Definitely more suited for takeout than dine in, but the food here is pretty tasty, if Korean fusion comfort food is your sort of thing. I got the totchos with spicy pork ($9.95) and bulgogi burrito ($10.15). Probably a tad overpriced, but this type of trendy asian fusion food usually is. The totchos came in a pretty large portion, definitely enough to share. The spicy pork had decent flavor, but the entire dish was doused in spicy mayo and topped with melted cheese, which was kind of overpowering. By the time I got home, the totchos were a bit soggy, but nothing major. The burrito was good - very filling and stuffed with rice, kimchi, and bulgogi. Overall, pretty decent meal but probably not somewhere I would frequent on a regular basis.

Extremely creative combinations of Mexican and Korean food. However, I was not a big fan of the sauce because it was too sweet for my liking. Things to order: Stuffed Burrito-Rean with Bulgogi Beef or Spicy Pork TOTCHOS (MUST) Quesa-Kimchi-Dilla

Preface, I LOVE most Korean fusion, so I am biased. But this place is absolutely great - definitely try the totchos with your favourite type of protein. Crispy tater tots drowned in sauces, cheese, kimchi... What's more to want?! Seating is limited, however. They are usually pretty fast at takeout.

This place hits the spot when you just want some good Korean fusion. It's not the best I've had (I'm spoiled, SF has the best), but it's decent. We all shared an OliToki Burrito with Bulgogi, Totchos with soy garlic chicken, and the classic wings with OliToki sauce. The burrito was bomb; it's got your meat, nice kimchi flavor, their sauce, yummm. The Totchos were also good, and they didn't skimp on the chicken. Personally, I thought the wings were the weakest part of the meal. They just didn't have that crunchy glaze reminiscent of Korean Fried Chicken, y'know? Price wise, its a little up there for what you get in my opinion. Like, you could definitely finish that $12 burrito in one sitting. So no leftovers for the next day. But the price wouldn't hinder me from ever coming back. Especially, since the Kimchi Fried Balls sounded good.

I've been excited for Korean Mexican Fusion ever since it first came on my radar. Even more so when I heard that it had hit our coast mid last year in the form of two competing businesses opening in the same neighborhood. I finally had to chance to check out the concept when I found myself in the neighborhood one Saturday afternoon. I knew where OliToki was - by Dolphin Bay - but had no idea at the time where Coreanos might be, so OliToki it was! It was nearing 1pm as I approached the small store front. Inside there were 4 tables with seating for 2 apiece, a drink fridge, and a chair for waiting. With but one stomach to fill, I eyed their short menu wishing I had a dining companion with which to share this experience, and a few more dishes. But no. So after considering my options and figuring that I would order one dish to fill me up, I opted for the Packed Bowl $8 (white rice packed w/cilantro, purple cabbage, corn, kimchi, lettuce, carrot, tangy cucumbers, sesame oil, Spicy Toki Sauce on the side) with chicken (juicy thighs charred in a savory ginger soy glaze). The bowl was indeed packed, though that meant little to no room for mixing up its contents. The chicken was dark meat tender, but the rest of the dish seemed on the bland side. I'd come back to give a few other items a try, but probably not the rice bowl again till they come up with a nonspicy sauce option.

How yummy! It was good for take out since the place is smaller than I had imagined (plus kinda cold). I came early for lunch on a weekend and so I was the first/only person there, no wait. We got the kimchi fried rice balls which I always love to try whenever restaurants offer it. We didn't get to eat our food right away but they stayed nice and crisp. Perfect little bites with just enough kimchi, bacon and sauces. Totchos were just okay because they got a little soggy but I liked their tacos! Really good balance of texture and flavors, double the corn tortillas just like it should be. I love good fusion and am glad I finally got to try it. Nice job OliToki!

We went late on a friday night so there were open seats. The cashier carefully explained what was in different menu items. We ended up ordering the tofu totchos and the vegetarian dumplings. As a vegetarian, we were excited that the kimchi was vegetarian and didn't have any fish products. The totchos were decent, there could have been more kimchi on them and I wasn't a big fan of the cheese on top. I think a finer cut cheese wouldve been better/would have actually melted. Tofu was supposed to have a soy sauce glaze but they were barely covered in sauce so they were pretty bland. The dumplings were deep fried and greasy. They should offer a pan-fried or even a steamed option. The greasy outer dough overwhelmed the flavor of the kimchi.

Ordered delivery. Got the chicken kimchi quesadilla, the bulgogi burrito, and the fried rice balls. The food was a little cool by the time it arrived, not that I hold that against the taste and quality of the food. Overall, it was a little underwhelming and bland. The quesadilla was quite normal, coming with a mayo-like aioli for dipping-hard to mess up in my opinion. The fried rice balls were alright, a little bland and missing the pop of flavor and acidity that you typically get from kimchi. They came drizzled in two different sauces that provided some more flavor and sweetness. The most disappointing item though was definitely the burrito. It just seemed dry and very bland, I couldn't tell they used kimchi fried rice rather than normal rice. Also, I wasn't the biggest fan of the larger chunks (if that's the right word) of lettuce that were found throughout the burrito. The bulgogi did not seem marinated very well either. I'm a big fan of fusion Korean food but this was a little disappointing.

BEST. TACOS. EVER. The loaded tacos are my go to whenever i am craving tacos. Love the sauces and i always add avocado and fried egg which makes it so much better. Their Korean sauce chicken wings are really as well.

The best fusion place in Boston just opened. I had their tacotacos with spicy pork, which was perfect because the Mexican taco part was done so well, and the spicy pork was so great too. I don't know how they managed the balance to work so well, not just like thrown together. My favorite so far is the bacon kimchi fried rice balls. Literally so amazing because it's bacon and fried rice with some cheese I think all fried together with amazing sauce drizzled over. Magic. They also have spam musubi! Finally in Allston! Last side I tried was the ramen reasoned fries. Only thing I can say is that this could use a little more ramen seasoning cuz it tasted like normal thick cut fries. But was good nonetheless. I was waiting for something to taste weird, but everything was delicious. Definitely recommend!!!! It's a small place though with three tables, so don't be bringing a huge party. I would do take out in that case. Also bonus points for kpop videos and super cute bunny logo! To be honest this place reminds me a little of California. Miss it.

I miss going to restaurants. But delivery is the next best thing! I ordered a lot of items from OliToki a couple weeks ago (actually for something special on Easter!) and really appreciated this comfort food. We got a bulgogi quesadilla, fries, chicken tacos, kimchi rice balls, dumplings, and one other chicken dish. Everything was super tasty, I was really impressed by the flavorful chicken in particular, and fries, which have a ramen seasoning. The only thing that didn't really do it for me was the dumplings, which were just average. Everything else I would order again! I highly recommend trying it if you like Korean fusion. Let's support our local businesses during this rough time.

My boyfriend and I had dinner plans for Saturday night but got too lazy so we decided to order take-out from OliToki instead. As we watched the Celtics lose to the Cavs, we munched on boneless chicken wings, a spam musubi, a bulgogi burrito, and a bulgogi rice bowl. The food was just about the same quality and taste as the premade food from Hmart. My favorite was the spam musubi- a slice of canned ham and rice wrapped with seaweed. Portions were small so don't order from here if you're looking to pig out.

I dropped by this place for a quick bite before heading downtown, and it pains me to admit that I spent $12.31 on such a pathetic excuse for Korean-Mexican fusion - a "packed bowl" with bulgogi and additional fried egg on top. I invite anyone to take a gander at the attached picture, and tell me what is "packed" about this 2-inch-deep bowl. In a world full of tasty renditions of the edible bowl - a double steak Chipotle bowl with guac, a Hot Stone Bibimbap Bulgogi bowl, a $7 Halal Guys combo platter, a spicy tuna poke bowl, etc. - this one certainly does NOT belong. The bulgogi tasted old and ill-marinated, chewy like mildly savory bubble gum. There's absolutely nothing Mexican about this, besides a scant sprinkle of cilantro and cheap flaps of iceberg lettuce. My eyes rolled back in disbelief when, as I took my first bite, I heard the obnoxious beep of a microwave timer in the back of the kitchen. This might explain the heaping clump of cold white rice underneath; they didn't leave the bowl in there for long enough! I'm sure my Korean-American heritage brings minimal bias to the conclusion that this eatery is for the birds. The owners should feel ashamed and compelled to change.

burrito gave me a little kiss. Bowls are very good too. 15% off thing they do on the receipt when you order from their site rocks. Food in Allston is expensive but Olitoki isnt when they very well could be.

Really delicious "comfort food." We got the kimchi rice balls, bulgogi and cheese egg rolls, and chicken burritos. I highly recommend the kimchi rice balls. I now have to try the others! We will definitely order again and look forward to visiting post covid.

I was pretty excited about the possibility of getting some cheesy tofu quesadillas (or in this case, kimchi-dillas) and I adore everything kimchi, but this place didn't live up to the hype, sadly. My boyfriend and I were the only people in there, and still ended up waiting about 20-25 minutes for our takeout, which seemed pretty over the top to us. Our kimchi-dillas were very light on the cheese and dry, and even though I ordered mine extra spicy it was still super bland. Luckily the side aioli was good and helped give the quesadillas some flavor. That being said, the kimchi dumplings were good, and the food was served hot. There were other things on the menu that sounded interesting, and I'd be willing to try them if in the area, but I think I'll just be making my kimchi-dillas at home from now on.

Small and cute location with big and intense flavors. OliToki is a Korean-Mexican Fusion restaurant that serves dishes with a street food vibe. They have around 6 entree options that are customizable with the kind of protein you want (tofu, bulgogi beef, spicy pork, and chicken) and any extras that you want to add. They also have wings, fries (crispy, sweet potato, and ramen flavored), as well as unique appetizers like rice, cheese, and kimchi balls. I had the chance to try the Ramen Flavored Fries, the Taco-Tacos, and the Totchos, which are tater tots with a protein, kimchi, and spicy sauces. The proteins were packed with flavor, they were very well marinated. I'm not sure If I would say the fries reminded me of the taste of ramen, but they were different and tasty. It was a fun place to try with a unique style, and my only "critique" would be that the dishes can feel a bit heavy, especially the Totchos. The prices are reasonable and you get a filling serving size for what you pay. The place itself is definitely small with limited seating so I would not suggest it for a big group of people.

I would eat OliToki every single day if I could! It's so delicious and full of flavor. I always get some variation of the bowls with tofu, cucumbers, kimchi, rice, and make it extra spicy and it is fire! I also love their spicy and not spicy spam musubi and the dumplings are delicious. Totchos are a great option if you're feeling potatoes that day rather than rice. And their wings are also BOMB! 10/10, would highly recommend giving this place a try.
