Not great at all

by costumer1984

The place is overpriced and the food is average at best. I was very disappointed with my choice. The service is not great either...

Great Late Night Korean and Japanese

by jayschlo

I've been going to Kayuga for at least 4 years. They are open late, until 1am. They have fresh fish and a good Korean menu as well. The hot tea is always free, but sake and beer is still cheap too. I sometimes see people doing sake bombs at their tables. Mostly young people go there. People from 18-30 years old.

They used to have karaoke, but I haven't seen it in a while. I asked about it once, and they said something about weekends only. But I didn't really inquire about it further. They have a good sushi bar and they have a private area for big groups.

• Pros: Open late
• Cons: Parking is hard to find on Commonwealth Ave

Fun social atmosphere, decent Korean/Japanese cuisine and an expansive menu

by mimikli

To start off, I really have to highlight that Kayuga mainly caters to a young, lively crowd. I read some of the other reviews and found it surprising that people went there looking for some sort of culinary experience. Kayuga has a full bar and a diverse menu of Korean/Japanese dishes. It's good for large parties of people looking for some tasty grub before or after going out on the weekends (opens very late). When I used to frequent during school, they had karaoke on a request-basis. The food is also pretty yummy. I have a difficult time finding good Korean food in the greater Boston area and Kayuga is one of my go-to places. The staples, like yookaejang, kimchi fried rice, and bibimbap, are all fairly tasty. I won't vouch for the sushi - I only had it on a few occasions but found it decent. The presentation of the food is also surprisingly visually appealing. All in all, I don't think Kayuga is upscale Asian dining and I'd caution against going there if that is what you are looking for.
