    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!

    Banchan
    Tina L.

    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
    Alex Y.

    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

That gave us enough time to have the place to ourselves and order literally everything they could think to serve us. This was easily one of the best KBBQ experiences I've had. The meat cuts were all perfectly marinated and grilled, from the Dry-Aged Pork Belly, to the tender Pork Jowl, to the juicy Marinated Pork Ribs. The Budae Jjigae was savory comfort, and the Shin Ramen Fried Rice was not only abundant, but served in an adorable heart shape. Even the Kimchi Stew and Gyeran-jjim were more umami than the countless counterparts I've had elsewhere. On top of that, we got more ban chan than an attention-starved halmoni hosting her first family reunion in 10 years. Everywhere I pointed my chopsticks, I touched food. It was delightful. If I can ever gather enough people, I'd gladly infest this place again.

Came on a weekday night and there weren't many people in the store. - Deluxe Gomtang - I think the difference between the normal gomtang and the deluxe version is that they give a bit more meat and rice. 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. No matter how much salt/pepper I put in, there still didn't seem to be a lot of flavor. I ended up dumping the Korean Pickled Onion banchan in which helped elevate the flavor a lot. - Mini KimchiJeon - When I read this off the menu, I though the kimchi pancake would be extremely small but it turned out to be quite bit and very delicious. It was super crispy on the outside with soft insides stuffed with kimchi. I will definitely be back to this home-y restaurant!

For dipping, you get a choice of garlic scallion sauce, soybean paste (ssamjang), or just salt -- all solid options depending on what you're grilling. Service was attentive and quick to help with the grill and refills without being intrusive. The restaurant has a big dedicated parking lot, which made getting in and out so much easier.

Even though my friend was still about eight minutes away, the staff was kind enough to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. Every bowl was a hit. The kids enjoyed their beef soups, while the adults ordered the beef knee soup, with one person choosing the spicy beef soup. Each soup came with cooked sticky purple rice, a few noodles in the broth, and classic Korean side dishes like kimchi that rounded out the meal perfectly. The service was phenomenal from beginning to end. Despite how busy they were, the staff remained friendly, attentive, and efficient. The prices were also very reasonable, especially for the quality and generous portions. The only downside for me is that I'd have to cross a bridge to get there, otherwise I'd be a regular.

Salt and peppers are provided to adjust your seasoning as needed. Even though they could not finish the dishes i throughly enjoyed the food. What i like about Korean dishes is that even some are heavy and fatty they include lots of vegetables and healthy ingredients which makes it feel like you had a healthy meal and lots of nutrients despite eating out. Service was minimal but adequate. Overall it was very good authentic Korean restaurant that offers solid Korean beef soup. If you want to try authentic Korean beef soup and you are in the area this is the place.
