Wait for the food took extremely long. The restaurant was not that busy, so I wasn't sure what the hold up was. Food was good but not outstanding. One dakgalbi is enough for 2-3 people. I was appalled by the corn cheese(?) side dish. As you can see in the photo, it literally looked like the leftovers of someone else's corn cheese. Service was very slow, and the server was hard to reach. I heard the NYC location was better, so I'd give the other location a shot, but I don't think I'll be returning here. read more

This is different kind of Korean cooking (Dakgalbi) that I never had tried before. The food is pricy and they served very little side dishes. We had a group of 6 and ordered Cheese Dakgalbi and Seafood Pot Dakgalbi to share. I addition, we also had Fishcake Casserole and Fried Rice with leftover from the Cheese Dakgalbi. It was a good experience but will not return to try again read more

Went to Hong Chun Cheon specifically to try their kimchi cheese dakgalbi with my brother. I had eaten there previously for dry pot, but for dakgalbi you need a minimum of 2 people to order. We ordered the kimchi cheese dalgalbi with noodles. It's served in a large pan which is heated on the table. Once the cheese melts, it's ready to eat. It was super heavy, savory, sweet spicy, cheesy, and more. It came with a lot of food, more than we could comfortably finish. It might as well have been for 3 people. Not bad if you're looking to eat dakgalbi Price is not great for a dish essentially made of chicken, cheese, and kikimchi. read more

Stir-fried spicy chicken (Dakgalbi) on a hit iron pan to share. We usually order medium spiciness, cheese dakgalbi with fried seaweed rolls and noodle selection (whether flat glass noodle or udon). It comes with fried sweet potato and rice cakes. Price is very moderate : $24 per person, and a pan of 2 people and fried rice after is more than enough for 3 people. It is BYOB, and not too loud music, spacious between tables, so it is a great location for large group gathering. The only downside is that there is always ONE person for the whole hall, and it can be frustrating to get the attention even with the "bell" at each table. read more

The chicken dish was ok. There were like 4 tables, but the lady said they were too busy to make us fried rice on it. Gave us 1 bowl of rice and told us to do it ourselves, which we didn't mind, but wth? Lol read more

The best dak gakbi in the area! Chicken is cooked well, the spice level is appropriate to what is ordered, and I love the fried rice option at the end! Service is lovely, the owners and workers are so sweet, and the restaurant is clean. read more

Spacious, clean, with an interesting menu! We ordered the medium spice level with kimchi and cheese. One pan was enough to feed three. The fried chicken was ok. The fried rice went well with the kimchi and cheese. We asked for a refill of water like 5 times. We weren't dying from spice, the bottle just gave so little. And our waiter wasn't attentive to us. But I'd come back to try some others on the menu though read more

We waited 30mins to be seated which we didnt mind waiting.. but it took 50mins for cheese dakgalbi and 1hr to get pork katsu which is not acceptable at all. The restaurant was not even busy, they had 4 waitresses on site, I was and am still legit confused what took so long. Food was only okay 1/5, do not order fried rice after dakgalbi because we were really unsure if they tried to make porridge or fried rice... not sure why they take the whole plate to make fried rice in the kitchen and once again, made customers wait another 15mins for underwhelmed fried rice lol extremely slow service 1/5. I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Good Dakgalbi place in NJ. I first tried this place in NYC, and I was disappointed. However, NJ place is better than NYC. The restaurant is spacious and clean. The service is also great. I ordered Cheese Dakgalbi with ramen noodle. The portion was perfect for 2-3 ppl, and spiciness was perfect. After the Dakgalbi, you can also get fried rice on a iron pan. read more

When we came here, it was just us that were there so it was empty and wuiet but music in the background that wasnt too loud. We chose the regular dak-galbi and it was a huge portion for two of us. It tasted so good with cheese and i loved the fried sweet potatoes that came with. Honestly we were kind of worried because it was just us but despite of all that it was so good. There was only one lady serving but she was super sweet because we were so full so we just asked for check but she said we have to try the fried rice and she told us to just try it and she'll give it as complimentary. We couldnt turn down a complimentary fried rice but even we were full, we finished the whole thing! Fried rice is a must here:) When we went, she said they just added new menu that day, dry hot pot and hotpot. So we will definitely go back to try for new menu. read more

Don't know why this place is so empty all the time. It's actually way better than most places in palisades park. The food is pretty good and can't complain since lots of Korean restaurants in NJ are just subpar. If you haven't tried it yet, you should definitely give it a try. Finally a place where you can have a normal kimari that also tastes decent. And the fried rice at the end isn't a sad mix of white rice and just left over sauce like how most places do it. They add more ingredients to make it worth the wait. read more

Oh my gosh! My fiance and I walked away extremely disappointed with this place. I've been craving dakgalbi so my fiance surprised me by taking me here. I haven't had dakgalbi since leaving Korea pre-pandemic so this was my first time having it in US. This was nothing like how dakgalbi is served in Korea. In Korea the meat, vegetables, and tteokbbokki are all brought to your skillet in front of you. So you literally see your food cooking in front of you. Here, everything is done in the back. Food is already cooked in the skillet and just placed on a warmer at your table. Another thing I did not like was how confusing the pricing was in the menu. I told my partner that there was a fine print stating the price we see is only for one portion but we HAVE to buy 2 minimum. We got the cheese dakgalbi which was $24.99 therefore it was $50 after placing our order. Funny thing is one order would have been perfect for us as we were not too hungry. We really enjoyed the food but had lots of leftovers. So we ordered two bowls of rice which was $5 each! Once again it was not cooked in front of us. They took the skillet to the back! Like what?! To compare it to Korea, cooked rice is dropped into your skillet in front of you and they mix it . Not here. When our skillet came back out, we were shocked. Literally all the chicken, cabbage, and tteokbbokki were nowhere to be found. We saw tiny pieces of chicken. But we had lots of chicken bites left when they took the skillet. Where did our leftovers go?! By this time, we were so mad, we got a to-go bowl and left. About $70 spent for a bad dining experience. It was definitely a red flag when we saw the majority of the other tables were eating something different and not the dakgalbi. 2 stars because the food was good and the customer service was also good. We also enjoyed the egg side dishes. But all of this is not enough to recommend this place. read more

I was so happy to see this place opening up in NJ! I first tried the other location in NYC pre-covid and it was delicious. This was my first time trying the Kimchi Dak Gal Bi- everything was good in terms of chicken cooking level, the portion and fried sweet potatoes were delicious as well. The only thing I would comment on was the overall flavor. I think the Kimchi itself wasn't as flavorful as it should be. Therefore the overall flavor tasted a bit diluted. Other than that, adding extra rice and cheese is also the best part! I wish they did that last part on the spot rather than taking the pot back into the kitchen. I would go again to try different menu! read more

Whenever I'm craving something cheesy, I always beg my friends to come here with me. The cheese dakgalbi is consistently amazing every time I visit and the spice level is just right -- not too painful but not too mild. I love how there's fried sweet potato added on top and you can get other add ons if you want for an extra price. Note that you have to get at least two servings, which is enough to feed at least 3-4 people. Make sure you get the fish roe fried rice too (you won't regret it :)) -- my boyfriend and I got it shaped in a heart which was really cute. read more

Seafood pot was great! Good side dishes of egg, corn, macaroni salad, broccoli all included. Mild is all I could handle. I would probably equate it to medium spicy at other places. Service was good. Get the fried rice afterwards! read more

We haven't been here a while and was about to leave since our favorite place was no longer. We saw this place in the corner and decided to give it a try. WOW! Owner greeted us, gave us many many extras. Chicken was crunchy and tasty. The main shrimp dish (see picture) was really great. Come hungry. Loved the side dishes (corn, macaroni, vegs). Come with 4-5 people - very fun place. read more

We visited today around 8:30pm and it was pretty quiet with several tables available. We were seated quickly and menus/water were provided right away. We decided to order the HongCheunCheon Dakgalbi for 2 HOT level. We were warned about the spice level but we were not dissuaded from our decision. Food came out pretty fast and it was indeed HOT! Next time I'll order Medium for sure. The waitresses were sweet and brought out lettuce leaves for my crying self lol It is pretty pricey but overall it was great experience and will likely come again read more

I did order to go on Mar 12th 2022, I ordered in advance and I still had to wait an hour to pick up my food. To be honest food wasn't good and service wasn't that good either. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. They can't even deserve 1 star review in my opinion. read more

There is finally a good dak galbi spot in town. They have about 5 different variations one with cheese, kimchi, or soupy version. We got the cheese kimchi dak galbi and it was amazing. You can add Ramen, ddukbokki, seaweed rolls and etc. And choose spicy level. The flavoring was really good. Service was incredibly attentive. They have a call button. BYOB. We brought pack of beers and they were nice enough to store it in their fridge for us. Lastly, they gave mak gooksoo as service. All in all really good food and great price. Didn't feel ripped off at all for the food and service. Will be back for the soupy version very shortly. read more

on saturday 3PM, It took 20 mins to get a menu. There were only 2 tables finishing their meals, and I had no idea why it took so long to give a menu. Anyway, we ordered $55 dak kal bi for 2 ppl. Comparing with the same restaurant hong chun cheon in manhattan and flushing, this restaurant in palisades park is so awful. They will rip you off. The portion was for like 1 person. It was thin, thin layer of few chicken thighs and few veges. The taste was just ok but nothing special. If you want to waste your money, this is a place. I forgot to take a picture because after I spooned few times, the food was gone. LOL read more

The place is new so I'm sure they have some kinks to work out. I was wary to come here after reading the reviews but give this place a shot! Overall the ambiance was really welcoming and the staff was very attentive. Food overall was good and huge portions. I'd come here again and recommend to others. read more

My wife suggested this place after work so we went. Service was quick and food portion was a lot. We had two servings of cheese dakgalbi and one serving of fried rice and it was so good. My wife and I couldn't finish it and we usually eat more than average people. I would bring my parents here next time. read more

They will rip you off. I asked the lady if one portion would be enough for 2 and she said yes especially since you're mixing the rice later. We order 1 portion, it comes out, there's spots in the pot. Given the pot was big so we said sure makes sense. They forget the side orders, I ask for it again, they don't give it to you but still tried charging us. We finish half way and we are still starving, we asked them to mix the rice. They take it to the back and come out 15 minutes later, not sure why. The NY locations mix it in front of you and do it in a minute. Given it's new, we thought we'd give them the benefit of the doubt. It finally comes out, I click on the service button to get water, they cancel it. I have to get their attention since the service bell is useless. At this point asked for a check and water. We get the check we got charged for 2 portions. I tell them this was 1 portion because that's what we ordered and the portion was small. We are a little hungry now but says that what we received is 2 person portion. The waitress did a cute little annoyed eye flutter so we said fine and paid it. Do not come to this location. $70 to still be hungry, spend your money elsewhere. read more

Dined here with my family for the first time yesterday. I think this is definitely one of the best dakgalbi in the area, but there are a few things that I'd highlight. The food is not cooked at the table. It's cooked in the kitchen and the tables are equipped with warmers to keep everything hot. This includes the fried rice that is served at the end of the meal. The fried rice tasted ok, but in hindsight was not that great and I would have rather had a side of white rice with my meal. The "medium" spice level is actually a bit too hot, and my spice tolerance is above average. We tried a half fried chicken. It was crispy, juicy, and fresh. But the batter had some kind of orange/curry like seasoning that I wasn't a big fan of. Some may like it but just not my thing. I will definitely come back. Will stick to white rice and skip the fried chicken. The staff is very friendly, not crowded even on a Sat night, and it's BYOB. Oh PS, I wish they had hard boiled eggs as a side for the dakgalbi. I think Dumok has them but I'm not going back there because their service is plain terrible. read more
