    Menu (March 2023) (Cheese $23.95)
    Angela YJ B.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Kimchi Cheese Dak Gal Bi
    Yeon S.

    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!

    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.

    Seafood pot dakgalbi
    Wendy Z.

    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!

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. Raw crabs: marinated and seasoned perfectly. We aren't a spicy loving family, but this was perfect amount for us that we could handle the spice. 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! The Bon chon was different and excellent. Variety of different vegetables, pickled and fermented. We enjoyed them all. FYI: there is a small parking lot as well

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.

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.

The only reason it's not 5 stars is my group of 6 and a toddler waited 1 hour to get seated despite having called to make a reservation a week in advance.

Once we were finally seated though, the food came out fast and our server/cook was very friendly and joined in on our convos. We loved everything we ordered, especially trying the clam gui and marinated duck for the first time. They make the kimchi fried rice at the end in the duck leftovers and it was so tasty! I would love to come back because the food was so tasty but maybe put ourselves on the waitlist next time since the space isn't large and you just have to get lucky with when you show up.

I really liked the gomtang as the flavors were really rich especially when elevated by the pepper. - Seolleongtang - Clear and beautiful broth that went really well with salt. I felt like the meat was not as tender as I hoped but still made me think of my favorite Korean restaurant where I grew up. - Kong-guksu - I didn't know what to expect of this dish as I've never heard of it or tried it before but I didn't really like the dish.

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 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. It's fluffy, hearty, flavorful and it's always my kids' favorite. The meats are of good quality and I'm obsessed with their aged kimchi which comes with any pork order so make sure you request it. 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. We wanted to come here for a party of 8 on the weekend and they don't take reservations on weekends so we almost never make it as a big group because there's normally a very long wait time unless you come super early.
