This newly opened Korean corn dog joint underwent a quiet revamp late last year. It returned with new interior design and an expansion of its menu offerings, adding a number of hearty dishes typically offered at pocha, which refers to covered food and drink stalls that line city streets in Korea. It now feels like a place where you and your friends could hover over a simmering pot of budae-jjigae alongside a plate of Korean cheese nachos while catching up with beer and soju. For the regulars who have been coming to this place since its opening, don’t worry: corn dogs are still available.

Buk Kyung has been a stalwart in the heart of Union Square, offering hearty and delicious Korean bites. The tofu kimchi jaeyook — a spicy pork dish — is reliable, as is the naengmyeon, which is a dish of cold buckwheat noodles served with thinly sliced beef, daikon radish, cucumber, and a boiled egg served in a chilled beef broth. On a cold day, try the mandu soup.

This Cambridge Korean barbecue spot is a short walk from Central Square in Cambridge. On weekends, groups of dinner-goers form lines that go around the block in the otherwise quiet neighborhood. The restaurant offers a range of classic Korean barbecue cuts, such as prime short ribs, pork belly, marinated chicken, and more.

There’s nothing more comforting than a bowl of simmering tofu soup or a savory bibimbap on a cold winter day. If you feel undecided, the combo options let you pair a classic such as galbi or bulgogi with a soup, which is plenty if you’re hungry.

This late night spot is a solid choice for a little after concert pick-me-up, as it offers decent Korean snacks until late. Watch K-Pop videos on the televisions, eat delicious ramen or “hangover cure” haejang-guk, and get faded on the soju watermelon.

If you’re starting to feel bored with grilling brisket and pork belly, try intestines and other offal meats, opening up a whole new world of underrepresented foods in Boston. At Gopchang Story, a South Korea-based chain that’s expanded internationally in the past decade or so, you’ll find charred beef intestines that are chewy and crispy on the outside.

This classic Korean restaurant has seen businesses come and go on Harvard Avenue, one of the most competitive strips for restaurants in Boston. Its signature menu item is the gamjatang, a type of soup made by stewing the backbones of pigs for many hours. At Hanmaru, you can order your gamjatang spicy or plain; you can also choose from a number of add-ons, such as sliced beef and fish balls, to go in the soup.

For the diehard Korean barbecue fans, Naksan is a must-visit. This relatively new restaurant brought charcoal grilling to Boston’s Korean barbecue scene, which adds an extra layer of smokiness to the juicy meat. When the weather is bitterly cold outside, be sure to order warmed makgeolli (unfiltered Korean rice wine) to wash down the meal.

Come hungry to this Boston newcomer, which offers all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue right by Symphony Hall. With a grill at the center of the table, roll up your sleeves and grill slivers of beef bulgogi, beef short ribs, and slabs of pork belly. And sure, other marinated meats, seafood, and vegetables, too (particularly the tasty shishito peppers). You don’t have to play chef for the whole meal, with plenty of side dishes like fried dumplings and tofu and kimchi stews to round out the meal.
