Misono Wok

The first time I tried this place was more than a year ago. I had a Jjamppong and the quality was so so (I would say 2 star compared to what you can eat in Korea). However, there really isn’t any other place in Boston where you can have notably better Jjamppong any way, and the price is good at this place, so I thought I would come back and give it another try a few months later.
This second time, things got really horrible — I ordered same Jjamppong as before, and this time, what they gave to me wasn’t anything that even remotely resembles Jjamppong. This Jjamppong was worse than any I have ever ate before. It is actually an offense to call this Jjamppong, because it isn’t. The noodle was terrible (tastes like over-​cooked ramen), the soup was just not much more than plain water, and there was no substance in the soup other than cabbage.
I don’t know what was wrong with them at that time. Perhaps their regular cook was out sick on that day? I wouldn’t know. But what was clear to me was that this Jjamppong was made by someone who not only doesn’t know how to make good Jjamppong but also doesn’t even know what Jjamppong is.
I’m not going back.

Misono has changed and they are now Cup Bap.

Good Korean.
Quick, cheap and a broad menu.
Spicy pork combo ($ 9.35) is sautéed with onions in fiery gochujang sauce. The meat is tender and plentiful and served over a thick bed of sticky rice with and egg on top ($.50 extra).
The combo includes a shredded kimchi salad, bean sprouts and a lettuce side with Russian dressing.
Noodles, soup and fried rice available as well.

If you’re coming for Korean food to Super 88, get Misono Grill that’s hidden in the back. This might be the first place that you see upon entering, but those few steps towards the back are well worth it.
I got the supposedly spicy sweet and sour breaded chicken? with rice. It was not very good. It wasn’t very crispy and the sauce didn’t have any sort of spicy kick. I’ve def had a lot better ones. The tanginess of the sauce was too much for me and overall, just not great.
My friend got the fried kimchi and pork with rice and it wasn’t that great either. The pieces of kimchi were huge and the kimchi is extremely sour. It’s more of the type you cook for stew, not the one you use for stir fry.
It’s cheap for the amount of food that you get, but I would never eat here again.

I’ve never had a bad experience here, but I’ve always only gotten the kimbop… it’s probably my favorite Korean dish. Everyone who works there is very nice and it’s always come out fresh and perfectly rolled.

When I lived in Brookline and then in Brighton, I used to come here all the time. Its quick and relatively cheap for Korean food. I usually get the pork belly stir fry or the kimchi pork. For about $ 12 bucks (with an egg) this is a pretty big meal. Their kimchi is also really fresh if you order it on the side for $ 2. Ive had the dukbokki which is also good, as well as their kimbop. The nangmyun was just OK. Not my favorite Korean place in Boston, but Ill go there for the quickness, convenience, and price.

Very bad noodles! I ordered the No. 19 on the menu, which is more than $ 12 after tax. The noodle could not be chewed which is too hard. There is very little noodles, less vege, and two small pieces of unknown meat. Even though, I could not finish it as it was not tasty at all! It is definitely the worst Korean dinner I ever had. I will never go there again.

Eel Kim bob not bad but for $ 12.95 plus tax cost me $ 13.86 where is my eel. Anyways I’ll eat it next time I’ll try the beef

Misono wok is okay. I’ve always ordered the ramen dukbokki, so this is what I’m basing my reviews off of. I’m also a little confused by some of the pictures uploaded, as some of them are clearly on restaurant plates and restaurant tables that are not Super 88’s.
Basically, for $ 9-​$ 10, you get a small Styrofoam container of dukbokki, a ramen packet, sliced hot dog and 2 – 3 fish cake pieces. The dukbokki is great, although I do wish there wasn’t hot dog (just kind of an odd addition to me, plus I’m not a big hot dog fan) and WAY more fish cake instead. My main issue is the cabbage filler. It’s not kimchi filler, it’s literally shredded cabbage. I have the unfortunate habit of eating around veggies when I’m not particularly fond of how it’s cooked (in this case, just thrown in), and when I picked the non-​cabbage items clean, it was only like…40% gone. The only way I can explain this is a cost-​saving measure when the majority of a dukbokki dish is shredded cabbage. You can walk down the street to Bonchon and get a gigantic platter of dukbokki, double the size of Misono’s, with pretty much NO filler for about $ 11, so I wish it were like that here too. Oh well!
I do like the fact they accept credit card, so that’s nice.

Spicy tuna or eel kimbap all day errday. Two long rolls for under $ 10. It’s like korean sushi, with the similar seaweed wrap and rice, but with a pickled yellow daikon, carrot, cucumber, and filling. Don’t forget about the dipping sauce, a watery spicy soy sauce goodness.
My favorite place to get some fast and tasty korean food for a good price. Ttoekbokki is also good. Chewy soft rice cakes in a sweet chili sauce with veggies and meat.

Always come here for the kimchi kimbap — two full rolls for $ 8.51 (including tax)! Delicious. Love it.

Ok so alot of their stuff is mediocre. BUT the bulgogi kimbap is actually really good. Essentially a sushi-​roll style roll with marinated bulgogi beef instead of fish.
For 10 bucks, you get two huge rolls of kimbap. I get this very often on the go with my wife, along with some popcorn chicken + boba at the lollicup next door. If you need a quick eat, I’d get this to go in a heartbeat.

Kimpap!
Get the beef one and not the unagi one because the beef one is cheaper and actually comes filled with beef. the unagi kimpap is more expensive and has barely any unagi inside.
About $ 10

I used to think this place was 3 to 3.5 stars, but I came back recently after a long break (a year?) and it is not the same. I’m not sure if they’re struggling to stay in business, but the same dishes I used to get are of lower quality and made poorly (whoever does the cooking is different). Now this place is probably 1.5 stars.
Also, my friends and I ordered $ 30 of food, which is a decent amount, to eat in, and we asked for a single cup of water for one of us who was going to take some medication. The answer was, «No.» We could buy an overpriced bottle of water, though. That’s what she did but we could not believe that they wouldn’t give her a cup of tap water.
I certainly won’t be back.

I love the Super 88 food court, Its a great place to stop and get a diverse array of tasty (and inexpensive) dishes. Misono Wok is one of my favorite places to grab some tasty Korean food.
Food: Probably 90% of the time I go to Misono Wok I get the pork kimchee. Its spicy and flavorful with a nice ratio of pork to cabbage. It is served with a fried egg on top and a side of rice. The kimcee pancake is also tasty, as are the other options I’ve tried.
Drink: Not really applicable, just the standard soda/​snapple options.
Atmosphere: Again, not really applicable. The food court can be loud, but usually is pretty reasonable. There is almost always a very noticeable gust of wind whenever a door is opened. Seating is, of course, first come (and on busier days it can be hard to find room).
Final Thoughts: Go for a quick bite or take-​out. In fact, I might head over there today for lunch…

We had the kanpoonki tofu. It had saracha sauce that was slightly sweet. The tofu was the perfect balance of sofe and sweet. It also had sweet potatos. I could tell that some of the veggies were canned/​frozen but it did not hurt the flavor at all.

Good place if you want a quick Korean meal. The prices are reasonable and you get a good portion.
I enjoy their kimchi keem bap and soon tofu. I also got the spicy pork bib bim bap once and they did a good job marinating the meat.

Good place for quick, inexpensive Korean takeout, even though they serve mainly Korean food, not quite sure why it has a Japanese name.
Recommends:
Chicken Katsu: Breaded chicken strips drizzled with a sweet sauce served with a small side salad and fermented veggies and white rice.
Kim-​Bap: Looks like sushi except everything here is cooked, usually contains steak, eggs, veggies and rice.
Dukbokki: Sliced, broiled rice cakes served with meats and veggies and cooked in a yummy spicy red sauce, great for those cold winter days when you have a congested nose, with its heat and spices it’ll definitely clear you’re sinuses!

This is another place that I turned to for some more decent and tasty Korean food when I was a student. One dish that I had enjoyed a lot is the Kimchi Fried Rice, despite the fact that it had plenty of spice in it. It was a good alternative to the Kimchi Fried Rice that my Korean friends cooked for me and my friends whenever we had home cooked dinners together. However, my Korean friends’ home cooked kimchi fried rice will always be better. This was also the place that I was introduced to tteokbokki (ddukbokki), which is this Korean rice pasta shaped like a cylinder doused in a spiced sauce. Last time I had it, it was soft and chewy, but it was probably one of the most spiciest foods that I have eaten at this place.
I recently had the Yang Nyum Chicken, which is this somewhat fried chicken doused in a spiced sauce. It came with a salad and rice. The chicken had a lot of spice to it, made my forehead sweat, and the thick sauce made it messy, requiring me to get a lot of napkins. Despite the sauce, it was really tasty chicken, and the sauce made the rice tastier. The dish also had some potatoes inside, and that made the dish heartier.
Other dishes that I also liked were the Katsu rice dishes. They also come with a salad and some sort of Kimchi and some sort of vegetable fried rice. I had the Pork and the Beef katsu on two separate occasions and I thought the meat was crispy on the outside, and tender and tasty on the inside. Vegetable fried rice was also good. As for the salad, it kind of lost some freshness, but it was tasty.
Overall, this is another place I can turn to for some decent, filling, and somewhat inexpensive Korean food nearby my place in Brighton.

For a non-​Korean, korean food junkie, this place hits the spot every single time. Whenever I come home from college, this is the place to go to meet my needs.
When you first step up to the booth inside of Super 88’s Food Connection, you encounter tons of pictures with menus available to decide what to order. If you are ever confused with how things are pronounced or what is in each of the many food items, the workers are very helpful in deciphering what to order. Misono is a family owned business and every person that I’ve encountered here has been welcoming and very friendly. The aroma of the foods from Misono are alluring — it’s almost hard to pass by without taking a second look.
I have been able to try several things off of their menu, all of which I have had great experiences with.
Bulgolgi Kim Bap — Somewhat like Sushi, but Korean style. I always order the rolls with bulgolgi marinaded beef, but it is also available with eel, tuna, or ham. The kimbap consists of carrots, spinach, egg, daikon radish, and the bulgolgi, all surrounded by a bed of rice, wrapped in nori (seaweed). They give you two rolls, cut into about 9 pieces each (approximately 18 pieces total), for approximately $ 8.35. A type of kimchi also accompanies the kimbap. My take on it? DELICIOUS! Kimbap is a great snack and very filling.
Tokbokki — Rice cakes sauteed in a sweet but spicey sauce, that can be ordered with ramen and comes with pieces of hot dog (sounds somewhat strange, but it works!), cabbage, and pieces of fish cake. The sauce in this dish makes it extremely tastey. This is a great dish to share, and somewhat messy to eat, but very delicious. Because there is a good ratio of the ingredients in the ttokbokki, you’ll feel proud of yourself for being able to get in your serving of vegetables for the day.
Jap Chae — Clear noodles, that is mixed with a variety of vegetables and meat, accompanies a bed of rice and a side salad with a thousand-​island-​type dressing. This dish is very tastey as well, but could come with more noodles.
Yang Nyum Chicken — It’s like fried chicken dipped in a sweet and spicey sauce, accompanied with a side salad and a side of rice. So good! You get large portions, which always leaves me with yummy left overs.
Overall, most of the dishes cost approximately $ 8 – 10, the service/​workers are helpful and friendly, portions are abundant, and the flavor is fully there. I highly recommend Misono Wok
