Best Korean restaurant

No one goes to Koreana for the atmosphere, which is lackluster, or the service, which is on the lethargic side. Instead, people come for the vibrant flavors, the true allure of any good restaurant. Comfort-food-seeking Koreans, adventurous students, and members of the Cambridge intelligentsia all make pilgrimages here for Korean short ribs, grill-your-own meat, and fresh sushi. The menu - in which dozens of items are presented in seemingly endless combinations - may intimidate the first-time visitor, but one favorite is the bulgoki (thin-sliced beef), which is garlicky and nourishing, the perfect cure for whatever ails you. And the mid-range prices - like the food itself - go down nice and easy.

Koreana, 154 Prospect Street, Cambridge, (617) 576-8661.
