    The marinated eel and side dishes were good. The space is small but gives homey vibes. Would def come back when craving

    Cecilia L.

    Very underrated mom and pop shop! Great overall experience - first time trying a Korean specialized eel restaurant and they hit it out of the park. Felt like a full course meal with the pancake and seaweed soup We got the eel combo of the grilled and seasoning eel and we prefer the grilled with eel sauce more. If you're craving eel, this is the spot for you!

    Very simple menu Most people come here for eel Salted, seasoning or mix flavor Over all was ok Eel is bit over cooked and little dry But flavor was good. And kimbap only $6 very good deal. Only 3 dine in table, they serve take out mostly

    Best eel ive had in this area. Super fresh and no hiding behind sauces or seasoning. Salted grilled eel was my favorite. They are very generous with the amount of side dishes they give along with a scallion pancake to start, with seaweed soup. Portion size for the eel ran small as I got the 3 serving combo with salted grilled eel and marinated eel and easily finished between 2 people. Overall very happy with the flavors and quality of eel.

    Very dried eel

    Firstly, the portion size was very small.The amount for two servings was just enough to fit on a plate around 15 cm in diameter, which was barely enough for the two of us to eat. Secondly, the price was expensive! From previous posts, one serving was about $27.50, and they required a minimum of two servings. But today, when we went, it had increased to nearly $33, so just for the two of us to eat eel cost over $70. Considering the portion size, it was really not worth it! Additionally, previous visitors mentioned that they were given eel soup and a scallion pancake, but today we were told that the scallion pancake costs $15. Also, the grilled fish didn't come with rice, which was really disappointing. Thirdly, the taste was poor! The key to eating grilled eel is the sauce, but the eel here had hardly any sauce at all. The sea eel itself was dry and tough from grilling, and since it was being cooked over a fire at the table, it just got drier and drier. The salt-grilled river eel tasted really fishy, which is probably why they put so much ginger on it. This is the only place I've seen add shredded ginger to their eel. By the end, all you could taste was the ginger. Fourthly, the service was terrible! There was only one older lady who didn't speak English serving. Throughout the meal, aside from giving us two small bottles of mineral water and a little bit of cold dishes, we hardly saw her. The side dishes she gave were extremely spicy and completely inedible. It was really disappointing.

    i came on a Sunday around 1:30 pm and it was empty! the service was exceptional, the food came out quick, and everything was very clean. they give you complimentary side dishes and a scallion pancake. the scallion pancake was soooo crispy!! they also give you lettuce to wrap the eel and seaweed soup but i forgot to take a photo of it. the eel soup has a strong flavor but i definitely think it's worth giving it a try. there aren't actual eel pieces in the soup - i think it's ground up but if you're a texture person, the texture of the soup was smooth! i ate it with rice and it was perfect for the rainy weather

    This place is the hidden gem for some traditional Korean eels cooking and etc. Me and my friends came here around the afternoon. It was busy but there were only 4 tables and I think they have patio in the back. We ordered couple of items to start out with and then the main entrees which is grilled ell and stir fry eel. They are freshly caught and make in the restaurant. I really liked their grilled eel over the stir fry kind, but that is just me. Not to mention, their cold stir spicy noodle is delicious as well. I usually don't like eating cold noodle but this place changed my mind. Definitely to try this place out if you want some fresh grill eel!

    Amazing! The place is small, only three tables and menu is one page, so you know this place is good. We got the fresh eel combo and it was so good! Both were good. The crisp of the eel was so Delicious especially with the sauce! The marinated eel was also so good. I don't eat eel as often, but this was amazing. The banchan was great! I wasn't expecting a whole pancake! It was one of the better Korean pancakes I ever got! Definitely would be back for more! We drove a hour to get here.

    Eel Combo

    Homey joint with 3-4 small tables inside that's cranking out some nice clean flavors. Menu was pretty straight forward and eel was the star here. 2 order minimum on roasted eel so it was about $60 for the combo. Portion size was leaning on the small side at that price range for me, and I am glad we ordered the eel soup plus some gimbap as well. Flavor-wise it was definitely the best roasted eel I have had around the area, but then again, not many dedicated eel joints around. The most noticeable aspect was that the flavor was very clean and not greasy, unlike the prepackaged eel packs you pick up in the frozen section. Eel soup was savory but not heavy. Broth was good here. Gimbap was very good as well. All in all, good eats but the price was definitely running on the high side considering the portion on the roasted eel.

    If I could give zero star I would. At first there only three table there for staying, the waitress told us it needs 35 minutes to wait for a seat so We ordered take out. But only 5 minutes past, there one vacant table there and We asked for staying cause we got two babies there and we wanna add more food. Surprisingly, she refused our request and give us no reason just told me she didn't wanna us to stay inside. It's SOOOO RUDE and I got no idea why she doing that!!!!! So I had to hold my takeout as well as holding my babies in outside when it was raining. And the bag are broken in the middle of the street when we're walking!! I never been through such BAD experiences ever never before! By the way, the food just so so, if you looking for something special, just save it!!!!

    This mom and pop shop is great for an eel bbq lunch. We got the half and half combo for three people. The combo came with a scallion pancake and seaweed soup along with all the ponchon. Super delicious! I plan to come back for the eel rice!

    Spicy eel dup bop, you mix it up with rice which is under the eel.  The yellow thing is not noodles; that's egg.

    In Korea, eels are sought after for their healthy benefits. Unlike eel sushi, Korean eels are grilled and they come with lettuce and whole slew of side dishes. I've had my first grilled eel meal in Korea a couple of years ago, and it was one of the most memorable meals there. I didn't think I could find a place that specializes in eels here NJ. Boy was I glad to find this place opened on Broad Ave during the pandemic nonetheless! Apparently they used to be at a golf range but moved to Palisades Park. I had to create the business profile on Yelp because I would like them to succeed and stick around for a long time. There's no other place like this! Please check out the pictures. How I like to eat my eel is to dip it in the eel sauce and put it on the lettuce wrap. I add slices of ginger, some spicy radish kimchi, soybean paste, and sometimes a slice of the green pepper. I shove it in my mouth and just enjoy all the flavor and feel good for eating something that's good for my body. I usually go for the salt grilled eel, which is plain. They have marinated eel which had a bit of kick. Just be aware that when you order the grilled eel package, it doesn't come with rice. You might have to ask for it if you don't have rice at home. We've only done take out but they do have dining space in there.

    Surprisingly really good. Much better than most grilled Japanese eel from other restaurants

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.

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.

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.

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.
