Color Restaurant Review - Korean Food and Fun Decor

Colors Restaurant in Allston is a perfect place to stop by for a quick casual dinner on a week night. The food served is home cooked and the prices are relatively cheap for Korean food.

The decor here appeals to my inner tackiness *cough* with lots of cutesy colors. Look how nice the different shades turn out in the photos! You have to admit the colors are bound to cheer you up, unless you have a migraine hehe:




While I haven't been to Korea, I always feel like I'm in the country when eating at Color. You know, Korean pop music playing, eating steaming soups from stone pots etc. Hey all the Korean movies I've watched make me a good judge OK :)

I ordered a seafood tofu chigae and P got a beef bulgogi. The restaurant also serves complimentary iced tea (corn?) and Dum Dums instead of mints. Seriously, who can resist Dum Dums?



Chomp Meter:
3.5 Chomps! A great place for a casual homey Korean meal. Definitely try their special chicken wing appetizer too. It is fried and smothered in chilli sauce. Don't make the mistake we made however, the portion is large so have at least 3 or 4 people to share. The first piece was delicious, second piece ok, third ....

Brookline Family Restaurant - It's Really Turkish

Brookline Family Restaurant on Chompster

This is kind of a continuation of the previous post. After dinner at Sichuan Garden we decided to drop by Brookline Family Restaurant to get dessert to go. Brookline Family Restaurant is right next door to Sichuan Garden.

They have a wonderful assortment of Baklavas!



We got an order of pistachio baklavas, and rice pudding. The baklavas were delicious and so was the rice pudding which was lightly burnt on the surface. It went really well with the dessert wine we had at home.

I was actually debating between the rice pudding and the kazandibi which I had the last time. Ended up going with the rice pudding since I wanted to try something different. I was't dissapointed but am still dreaming of the Kazandibi. Kazandibi is "upside down milk pudding". It has a much thicker texture than rice pudding and is soooo good. I highly recommend it!
