Mission Sushi & Wok

I used to come here all the time when I worked on the other end of Tremont Street. The Thai waitress is no longer there and it remains a takeout place principally but you can sit down and eat. The atmosphere is nice enough. In my last visit, I ordered the Kimchi chegue (Kimchi stew). It was decent but didn't measure up to my memory of stopping into mom and pop restaurants in Korea. And, how could it? The broth had a tomato and cracked pepper feel and didn't have the kimchi base I miss. I like that beef is an option -- in Korea, there is only pork -- but it had a weird texture, like it was missing a browning/caramelization. In short, it wasn't the trip down memory land that I hoped it would be but there's some good grub there, for sure -- I saw people get it -- so I will be back again but I'll mix it up and get something different.

I normally get my lunch after run since the food is affordable at this place but had forgotten my phone today and when I asked the hostess to order for me through desktop she was kind enough to do it. I ordered wings for the first time as her recommendation and it was really good. I loved spicy better than buffalo. Would definitely recommend this place for quick, easy and affordable food.

This is one of my go to spots. However, I'm only giving 4 stars because they often fall short in some important areas and are often inconsistent. For example, my last visit I ordered a side of kimchi. It came in a small sauce ramacin. It wasn't even good kimchi... they've done much better themselves. The soups and curry dishes are great! The apps and sushi are imaginative and tasty. The chicken is blanched and tasteless so I stick with the seafood.... shrimp or salmon depending on the dish. These guys are better than average and a good quick go to spot for lunch or dinner. The wait time for the food is also reasonable which always helps.
