Welcome to Somaek Korean — where the warmth of Korean hospitality meets the bold, comforting flavors you crave. Pull up a chair, share a table, and let us take care of the rest.
Every dish at Somaek is crafted to bring people together — bold stews, sizzling grills, delicate noodles, and the small plates that make a Korean meal complete.
The heart of a Korean meal — an array of seasoned vegetables, fermented favorites, and crispy bites that arrive fresh from the kitchen.
Your table, your grill. Choose from marinated short ribs, bulgogi, and premium cuts — cooked exactly how you like them.
From ice-cold naengmyeon to fiery bibimbap — bowls that carry the full weight of Korean comfort food in every spoonful.
Deep, soulful broths that simmer for hours — the kind of dishes that warm you from the inside out on a cold Boston evening.
Crisp, golden, and glazed to perfection — our fried dishes are the reason people come back again and again.
Somaek — the Korean tradition of mixing soju and beer — is our namesake and our specialty. Pair it with your meal and make the night complete.
Full menu available in-restaurant. Please inform us of any allergies.
Somaek Korean was founded on a simple belief: the best meals happen when people gather around a table and share something real. In Korean, somaek — the playful blend of soju and beer — captures the spirit of a night out with friends. That warmth is what we bring to every plate.
Located in the heart of downtown Boston at 11 Temple Pl, our kitchen draws on generations of Korean home cooking and elevates it with ingredients sourced for freshness and flavor. Every dish is made from scratch, every sauce mixed by hand, and every table treated like our own.
Whether you're joining us for a quick lunch between meetings, a celebratory dinner, or a late-night bite with good company — we're glad you're here.
