    Gamjatang
    Jenny K.

    I'm extremely picky when it comes to pork dishes but the gamjatang/pork bone soup is made well. There's almost no gaminess. We want to check out the chicken feet next time we're here (table next to us got it and it looked good) We went on New Year's Day 1/1 and despite the heavy lunch rush, (whom I presume is) the owner seated a one person party since she was next in the call back list even though it would've been easy to fill the table with a 4 person table and bump her to later. It's nice to see places run by moral people. The owner and workers (looked like some family were helping out too) were nice and took care of us. Reminder this is a more traditional Korean restaurant where if you want something, you need to ask the waiter to come over - don't expect them to keep checking up on you. Spacious and clean restaurant. I liked the small touches (ie gold bowls and spoons)

    SERVICE: 8/10 -Waiters were great and efficient when they were at our table -Was hard to get ahold of them though :,) -Note: there's a 3%(?) card service fee AMBIANCE: 7/10 -Just your standard Korean restaurant interior, clean and spacious but not particularly aesthetic FOOD Buljok Bossam: 8.7/10 -Buljok sauce was good, not too spicy -Bossam was standard, can't go wrong (can ask for fresh garlic to pair with if you want!) Gamja Jeon: 10/10 -SO good. Perfect crispy outside, 쫀득한 (chewy like rice cakes) inside. Would come back just for this dish! Gamjatang: 4/10 -Barely ate this bc was not my style :( -Watery soup consistency, not that spicy, potatoes weren't cooked in the soup for long so p bland, kimchi wasn't aged for long so also bland -Overall didn't have that aged/deep flavor I love about gamjatang :( Model example of good gamjatang is Tosokchon's (located in Palisades Park)

    We came here after visiting Field Station Dinosaurs, which wasn't too far away. Originally, we were planning to go to BCD, but it was crowded, and I wanted to try the jokbal instead. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs -- we also ordered the seafood pancake, squid rice, and ox bone soup with tendons. The jokbal came out first, and while it was good, I found it a little on the dry side. The seafood pancake was the standout -- probably the best I've had so far, with huge chunks of seafood. The soup was initially served without salt and really needed it, but once we added some, it was much better. They were generous with the tendons, too. The best dish, though, was the squid rice, which sadly came last when we were already too full to enjoy it properly. Next time, I'd just order that and maybe the soup. Overall, the food was delicious and the service was even better. Unfortunately, my 2-year-old only wanted plain white rice, despite all the tasty dishes we had! A quick tip about parking -- don't make the same mistake we did! We paid for a street spot, but there's actually a large free parking lot for all the shops in the area. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the neighborhood.

    When did they move?! I had no idea they relocated to the plaza where the BCD Tofu House is. The new spot is so much more spacious, super clean, and has plenty of parking since it's inside the plaza. So convenient! I went to pick up takeout today, thinking it was still at the original location, and that's when I noticed the sign had changed. I can't wait to dine in. The new location looks really nice! I got the regular Ugeoji Gamjatang. This has been my go-to gamjatang spot in New Jersey for a while now, and I've been back multiple times. For anyone curious, Gamjatang is a pork bone stew with dried cabbage and potatoes. It's amazing comfort food during the fall and winter, perfect for chilly weather.

    I was born in the north, but I grew up in the south. If there's one thing that nobody can argue about it's that we know good food especially food that soothes your soul. If you're looking for soul food from Seoul (I'm sorry I had to do it at least once) then I'd highly recommend checking this place out. I'd argue that Gamjatang is Korea's true soul food and I've had it an unhealthy amount of times after drinking. This place does it excellently and the jokbal is really good too. Definitely more family friendly vibes than late night squabble with your friends, but don't let that detract you from checking it out.

    It's a place you need to come back. The broth is light and flavorful, I love they put the snow fungus with the beef comtang ( beef soup ). It's a lot of meat and tendons are so soft and bounce. They'll refill the broth to your tang( soup hot pot). We couldn't finish the dish and we packed to go. They have the best take out container ( which is completely sealed) We need more people to come to eat for more dishes. Service is quite fast. They are quite busy, don't expect they refilled your tea without your call. Please let them know what you need and they'll do it for you.

    Been to the new location and it is spacious and clean !!!! The best selections are still on the menu, such as gamjatang and the jokbal (pork trotters), but other choices are great too !!!!! We tried beef and tendon in clear broth for 2, and the portion was good - after which we could have porridge with the leftover broth. Highly recommend it.

    Came here for the seafood scallion pancakes and left delighted. It might be my fault that i didnt read the menu before coming bc i didnt realize the two main meat options were pig feet (not my thing) and pork belly (love) . I ended up liking everything and i think if i ate pork feet I would also have enjoyed it. We ordered the regular portion of pork belly and was good, but too much for just two people. Service was fast and helpful. The restaurant is really pretty,.

    Next to BCD Tofu house and sitting at the center of Fort Lee, Gamja Tang-tang is a great authentic spot that excels in its delivery of its two most popular dishes, 1) stew and 2) pig feet. The service is standard and perhaps what you would normally expect, the taste is great but ultimately what also takes the cake is the value you get from here especially as a sit down restaurant. The amount of food with both stew and pork dishes is more than plentiful and tasty to boot. Taste: 4.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value for money: 5/5 We had: 1. Seafood Pancake (Haemul Pajeon): This was very good, thick but unfortunately had a couple of overly charred notes 2. Banban Jokbal: This was a half spicy half normal pig feet dish, there are other renditions you could go for as well whether you would like more spicy or less spicy or other iterations, but this was a definite highlight and it fed 4 of us (a large version) 3. Vegetable pork bone stew: This dish is the definition of the feeling of eating at home, for those who know, will know, that this sort of stew is like a home stew and brings you back. That said, the pot is similar to that of a hotpot style pot, and comes with vegetables and pork bone already cooked and ready to eat. This pairs well with white rice. Overall a nice spot! If you bring cash you get up to a 5-7% discount, if you use card, you will be charged a credit card charge.

    Super tasty Korean dishes! The menu is limited but it's great because they seem to specialize in what they make. The seafood pancake was loaded with seafood (mainly squid) and was so crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. The spicy pork bone soup with seafood was cooked so well. The broth was perfectly seasoned (so savory!) and tasted like they simmered the bone for a while to get the umami flavor. The restaurant itself is very new and clean looking. The decor inside is very warm and inviting. Would come back to try the bossam and other stews!

    Tina G.

    The food here was so good! The service was also spectacular. It's a great place for a quick meal or a place to hangout and have a nice meal with friends and family. Would definitely come back in the future.

    The food is pretty good. Not sure it's the best gamja tang in the area, but they have multiple varieties (& add ins). That's unique. Worth a visit or two.

The service was consistent, only once did we have to ask for refills for water. Food: we ordered the half and half raw marinated crab, bibimbap, abalone congee and fried oysters.

Our lips and mouths burned, but the good tingle, not the fire breathing 911 burn. lol Fried oysters: well battered and fried, nicely aromatic Abalone congee: perfectly textured and the abalone meat and taste was present. This helped offset the spiciness of the crabs. Bibimbap: not your average clay pot type, this was on a plate and with lots of green vegetables. Also delicious!

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.

I found out much later that the owner was the one actually serving and cooking for us. We were able to walk in with a party of ten on labor day. Super accommodating staff, owner knows what he's doing. Never caught his name unfortunately We ordered 4 different combos and dude was able to cook for all of us at the same time. Everyone left stuffed and I even had leftovers for the next day. I didn't get to eat everything but here's what I tried. The duck combo, pork combo, nayengmen (cold noodle I butchered the spelling I know sorry) and corn cheese. They don't do the brisket sauce like they do in la. Instead I think it was a mixture of miso and vinegar? With onions soaking in it. Paired perfectly with the pork. I've never had anything like it before. The thin cut pork belly was probably my favorite out of all the pork. The marinated duck combo was pretty interesting. It kinda felt like a ttkekbokki dish? But a little light on the rice cakes. The duck itself tasted like some really good charcuterie. It was a little too spicy for me but super good. We ended up opting to throw everything into the fried rice at the end and it made for some perfect late night leftovers that I'm enjoying as I write this review. Lovely place, hope they do well.

Once we were finally seated though, the food came out fast and our server/cook was very friendly and joined in on our convos.

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 rotate the banchans and we get something a little different each time we go and they're all very good. One thing that really stands out is their steamed eggs.

The service is great as they come and grilled the meats for you and they always grill it to perfection. The only downside side is I remembered they used to take reservations if you have a party if 7 or more but this is no longer the case.
