    Austin Cho 1.0

    Came back a second time and I had the empanadas of the day which were brisket and a pork belly rice bowl. The empanadas are stellar! Big, not greasy and packed withmeaty deliciousness. The pork belly bowl is outstanding with lots of flavors, textures and temperature. An excellent option to taste his creativity if you don't want a sandwich.

    While I was said to see Kimchi Smoke go away I was thrilled that Chef Austin Cho opened a new place. Although a bit far from home I ordered online and made the journey to Austin Cho Kitchen. It's a tiny storefront where you can see the man himself cooking away. Very friendly service. Easy online ordering and it was ready when I got there. We got the Brussels sprouts (outstanding), French fries, Cajun fries, and kimchi. All good but I'd go regular fries over Cajun next time. We got the pork belly xxx sandwich which was fantastic. We also got the brisket Sammie and the pulled pork sandwich. They were both delicious. The quality of the meat and the fresh veggies and sauces are simply the best. Wish it was closer but I will be back for sure. Limited seating on stools inside but I want to eat in so I can get a Cho nut. Love the chef and his cooking rocks. Street parking available. Must try in my book.

    2nd time coming here. Small restaurant with a few tables. Thankfully when we came (Saturday…read moreevening), there was one table available and it was the same table as last time! Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

Side dishes (fresh kimchi, radish, fish cake, and egg) were AMAZING. Had so many refills. Come here!! FOOD: Premium Soy Marinated Crab (9/10) - Insanely sweet and crab sizes are very generous. Mix the rice in the head, you won't be disappointed Soy Marinated Blue Crab (8/10) - Also really good, but crabs are a bit smaller. Still tastes great with the rice Bibingnaeng (8/10) - Really solid cold noodles with beef, pear, and cucumbers? Great way to finish off the meal.

    Kim Ga Meon Ok is a fast casual Korean restaurant. There's a location in Palisade Park and Fort…read moreLee. The menu is pretty extensive but from what we've tried quite solid! The naengmyun cold noodles hit the spot. You order and get a number and then pick up your food. The yuksu broth is full of umami and a great compliment to the meal. Great for groups who want to eat different things. Would recommend!

    Kim Ga Meon Ok is a fantastic, relatively affordable Korean spot and definitely a local favorite!…read moreThey have two locations (one in Fort Lee and this one in Palisades Park), but I usually visit the Pal Park location right across from King Sauna on Commercial Ave. The setup here is entirely self-service. You order at the front and pick up your food when it's ready. It's actually a really convenient system, and since there is no table service, there's no expectation to leave a gratuity. The food itself is consistently good. The parking lot is very, very small and shared with the cafe next door, so parking can be a squeeze. Because it's so popular, it gets very busy during prime dining hours. Even when I've ordered takeout, there can sometimes be a decent wait to get your food so I recommend order online or over the phone ahead. They do charge a little extra if you pay with a credit card to cover the fees. If you visit during the summer months, you absolutely have to try the Naeng Myeon (cold noodle soup) or the Bibim Naeng Myeon (spicy cold noodles). They really hit the spot and are incredibly refreshing. Highly recommend!

They have other options if you don't want soup like Jokbol, pig trotter. I know for most people that's not their cup of tea but a good hearty soup? That's for everyone. TLDR: Definitely go visit if you want some spicy flavorful soup alongside some really tender meat! It's delicious. Food: There is so much flavor packed into the Pork Bone Broth Soup that we were shocked when we tasted it! I couldn't stop drinking it. They give you rice on the side to eat with the soup. It's actually quite a large serving for a decent price. I do think the side dishes could be better, there are only two varieties they serve: Kimchi, Kimchi Horseradish, and Beansprouts. None of them stuck out. The Jokbal is delicious if you like pig trotter. Would not recommend for most eaters unless you want something new. Service: Nothing too crazy about the service. They came back for refills which is great. They were very nice and since it was busy they had to keep moving around. Nothing outstanding but solid work. I do feel with some Korean establishments there is a language barrier but they understand english well enough for foreigners to go. Environment: Newly renovated building gives it a sleek, modern look. It's very nice, seats are fine. Only issue is they had flies here and there that will go after the food. So please be prepared to be on the lookout. It's the primary reason we docked a point. The line was out the door so maybe they came from outside? They definitely need a better system for that though if it's a consistent problem.

Even throughout our meal, the restaurant never came close to reaching capacity, but it still got pretty busy.
