Tuesday evening, and I meet up with the ever-traveling Richmond for dinner. I ask for a place within walking distance from work; he suggests
Koy. Koy is a smallish restaurant across from Faneuil Hall in Boston. The hostess was really nice, service was there but not great. Not Basho awful either though.
I had the soju sangria which was okay, with a hint of lychee. For food, we had:
Grilled octopus - this was okay. I've had better. I didn't really understand the small bed of red bell peppers.
Japchae - a traditional Korean dish. Their take was pretty good, and was a generous portion.
Soondubu - a spicy seafood and soft tofu stew. Again, this was more traditional. The stew was good, but I'm not sure the portion justifies the $18 they charge.
Caramelized bananas and coconut ice cream - this was my favorite thing of the day. The bananas had that creme brulee sugar top, and the ice cream was subtle but delicious.
I think Koy is a good addition to the area, as there are not many good Korean options in the area (if any). But other than dessert, it was just okay for me. Serviceable, passable, but not crave-worthy.
