    Chicken Wings (8) in KINYOBI sauce
    Stephanie C.

    Don't be afraid to get your KINYOBI now! Easy, delicious Korean food with a twist that has remained consistent in flavor and presentation. My husband and I started ordering from here several years ago and it's become one of our favorite take-out spots in all of NJ. The Korean Chicken Wings in KINYOBI Hot Sauce are amazingly crispy and tender. They have a nice sweet spice that doesn't blow out your pallet. I could eat those wings every day and never get sick of them - they're that good. We usually go back and forth between the K-town Ramen and the Ugly Ramen which are equally delicious. The K-town broth is rich in flavor and spice & the noodles have great texture/taste. They are quick and efficient, always providing great service in a casual atmosphere. A 5-star experience every time.

    Crispy chicken
    Michele L.

    My partner in crime and I stumbled upon Kinyobi after a long day of errands. I will mention that it was hard to find parking. We ate inside the restaurant. The restaurant itself is small but comfortable and clean. The order taker was kind and pleasant, gave us an ample amount of napkins, and checked how we liked everything. We ordered crispy chicken, bulgolgi, and ugly ramen. My partner liked the food more than I did. I enjoyed the crispy chicken and ramen but found the bulgolgi to be abit chewy. I would come back to give Kinyobi another try. Their menu is interesting and one of a kind.

    Kimchi Fries, K-Town Ramen, chicken wings

    Came after work on a Tuesday and the restaurant itself was empty, which was perfect for us to dine in. There were quite a few takeout orders and there seemed to be a relatively steady stream of people coming in to pickup their orders (always a promising sign). I had the kimchi fries and the K town Ramen, which were both delicious! The fries were perfectly crispy and the pulled pork and Kim chi and bbq sauce/sour cream/cheese made for a very tasty combination. The Kim chi seemed like it was roasted/sautéed down, so I wished more of the tangy/spicy kimchi flavors were still apparent, but it was still a great dish regardless. The ramen was also very flavorful, noodles had great texture, and it was the perfect amount of spice. A friend tried their chicken wings and the Ugly Ramen and said they were both yummy too.

    I was driving down Kinderkamack heading towards Hackensack. I was hungry. I needed a snack. Korean fried chicken? That'd be whack. OK all rhyming aside, this place was highly rated on yelp close to my family house in Dumont so I rolled the dice. The wings were amazing. Service was fast super friendly. Chicken was hot, crispy, delicious. I had some kimchi on the side. I scarfed down the wings in about 10 minutes . Next time I find myself in Bergen County I would not hesitate to get more wings from this great mom and pop joint.

    The food portions and taste are decent, but the price does not feel worth it. I got the soba special and my friend got the bibimbap. They were just, OK. There are no Banchan provided. It seemed like there's no bathroom but I can't confirm. The staff are friendly and seem to know their regulars well. There's a slight discount for using cash instead of card as you can find in most places in Hackensack. You order at the front and there isn't necessarily someone to wait on you. It's a cozy place and I could see this being someone's go to in the area, but driving out a little bit more from the area and there's better Korean dishes for the price.

    Kimchi Fries

    UGLY Ramen. That's the good kind of ugly. It was a unique taste, not so much protein but it's saucy. Personally it's my favorite and is my go to. I ordered a bowl for myself and insisted I couldn't finish and can share with my friend while he tries something else on the menu. He took a few bites, looked at me, and said next time I'm ordering my own! 5/5 The kimchi fries were a 3/5. I had better in ktown and in westwood. I'd say it's missing more kimchi. The fries and cheese felt separate rather than a melting pot of cheese potato goodness. The sliders were very good. They were generous with the pork. 4/5 Will be back and try new items! There's a private parking lot (4-5 cars only) in the back but you can also park on the street.

    Decor/Food Packaging: This time I ordered for pickup so I was able to get a photo of the interior. Kinyobi is taking their covid measures seriously, so that's good. They have plexi glass up and they only allow 1 customer into the store at a time. Hand sanitizer is available by the card reader so you can sanitize after you pay. And their packaging is great! For some reason, I just love that they tie your bag with a tiny string ribbon. Food: On this visit, I ordered 2 K-Town Ramen and 1 burrito w/fries. My order was missing the rice cakes, but the 2nd order had them so I was able to try the full experience. At first I thought the poached egg was missing, but later realized it's below the ramen noodles. The broth was delicious. Overall, the food was very flavorful :)

    Kimchi Fries and ugly Ramen on the right

    After a long day of shopping with my back and legs achy, last thing I need was to make my way home to have dinner. Pulled out the yelp and looked . Found this nice little place and ordered the same order as the first review I saw and was not disappointed. In fact the kimchi fries amazingly hit all the flavor profiles all at once while doing what fried normally do which is give you that satisfaction.

    The decor of Kinyobi is simple, cozy but narrow-spaced with limited seats. Outdoor dining is currently not available. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The options on the menu were limited. We had their Galbi Taco and Spicy Pork plate. The food was overall delicious and flavorful with reasonable prices. We loved their fusion cuisine. The taco was appetizing and greatly matched with Korean style steak. The spicy pork was too hot for me but great with rice.

    Spicy Chicken bibimbap
    Amanda D.

    I wish I lived closer to this place! The food here is absolutely amazing!! I live probably an hour away but wanted to go to IKEA for some shopping, after shopping my sister and I were starving so we looked up somewhere to go. I am so happy this was the place we picked to try. NJ still has no seating inside so we got our orders to go, aka to eat in the car so we tried to get things car eating friendly. We started with the kimchi fries. My sister and I both agreed that Kinyobi gave us the best fries we might have ever had. Crispy, warm, insides still soft. So freaking good. On top of the fries just being amazing the topping were also great. Pulled pork was cooked very well, super tasty! We asked for sour cream but to add spicy mayo instead. The spicy may just took this to a whole new level. Would 100% recommend. We also both ordered Bibimbap. I got the spicy chicken version and she got the bulgogi. She had really good things to say about the bulgogi. I was obsessed with the spicy chicken. Not crazy spicy but definitely had a kick. With all the toppings, so many different prepared veggies, every bite tasted different and everything was good. I loved how these both came with a miso soup on the side, just a little extra but to a great meal. Can't wait for the next time I have to hit up a store near by, will definitely be coming back.

    Spicy Wings

    We've been coming to Kinyobi from Manhattan for several years now after "stumbling" upon this place on Yelp one day while out at the Bergen Town Center, and now we make it a point to stop by whenever we're in the area because it's SO GOOD! The Ugly Ramen is, of course, a hit and one of our favorites. It's a unique combo of flavors and such a distinct dish. The spicy wings are amazing and I love the spicy pork tacos as well! If you're feeling adventurous and/or if you like kimchi, then you should definitely try the kimchi fries. All in all, you can't go wrong by coming here. Not only that, the staff is very kind and always helpful.

    Is the ramen really spicy?

    No. They use gochujang which is mild spicy. They make food to order so speak up and request how u like it.

    Lemme tell you the portions here are HUGE! I've been eating the brisket kimchi fried rice for 4…read moremeals and still have one portion left. flavor wise the kimchi fried rice was absolutely killer. Super umami with an intense kimchi flavor, the rice itself was a sticker rice as well and thoroughly flavored. The added brisket was rich and extremely tender, i tend not to be a brisket fan but this was a hit! Despite being on the pricey side the huge portion of food makes it reasonable. One note is I got the fresh mango fruit tea and I was not a fan, it was super sour and didn't really taste like tea whatsoever, more like a sour lemonade. Service was super quick, food came out in about 8 minutes piping hot. The inside is rather small but a few dining tables, i'd say it seems more like a takeout place with the front counter set up. But was still a solid dine in experience.

I was a delicious bowl filled with flavorful bulgogi ribeye beef mixed with lettuce. The beef phuh (pho) was excellent too. The server at the store was friendly. She explained a lot of the menu items to us and patiently punched in all of our items. The dishes came out in short time too. Overall I really liked the food but wish the dining space was better conditioned (wobbly table, old tile on floor, speaker right next to table blasting music)

He goes back to his manager and they honor it. Their IG post also mentions a surf & turf special for $59 (which is one of the main reasons I chose this restaurant). When I inquired with the waiter he stated it's only available for dinner (this is not mentioned anywhere on the post). Between the 4 of us we had several lobster tails with waffles, 1 person ordered hot honey chicken with waffles, 4 additional lobster tails and several sides of eggs with bacon. 3 waffle orders came out together and everything else came out staggered 20 - 30mins later. We repeatedly had to ask for the rest of the order. A friend had a Cadillac Margarita which was good. I attempted to order one and was told they ran out of Cointreau and Grand Marnier. How do you run out of the main ingredient for a standard margarita at 2pm on a Sunday?! Passion fruit wings along with a few other menu items were not available. All in all I wouldn't return to Czen. Although my waiter was very pleasant doing the best he could and the ambiance was nice, the restaurant was poorly prepared and brunch was poorly executed.

The staff are very attentive and the service speed is pretty quick. Overall, I would definitely give Moru 4.5 stars if I could. I think it's great for most types of occasions, and the only reasons it's not getting 5 stars is because I do think the prices are a tad higher than I would've hoped and I think they could've done a bit more in terms of designing the place to match the price point. That being said, I still highly recommend Moru, especially for a nice lunch.
