2nd time coming here. Small restaurant with a few tables. Thankfully when we came (Saturday…read moreevening), there was one table available and it was the same table as last time! Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). 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.

Side dishes (fresh kimchi, radish, fish cake, and egg) were AMAZING. Had so many refills. Come here!! FOOD: Premium Soy Marinated Crab (9/10) - Insanely sweet and crab sizes are very generous. Mix the rice in the head, you won't be disappointed Soy Marinated Blue Crab (8/10) - Also really good, but crabs are a bit smaller. Still tastes great with the rice Bibingnaeng (8/10) - Really solid cold noodles with beef, pear, and cucumbers? Great way to finish off the meal.

We chose to go with the thinly cut brisket, prime ribeye, and bulgogi. The cuts here tasted fresher and better than any of the AYCE's I've been to. The servers here were very friendly and informative on preferences for certain meat's ideal cook temperature. Dining area is also very roomy and aesthetic.

Let me start by saying we loved the food here last night. It was great quality, and the staff was…read moreincredibly welcoming. They were super encouraging with me using chopsticks as a novice and spent time showing me tips/tricks and also bringing me another set that was supposed to be easier. They also cooked all of our food so that was also welcome! We ordered the combo A, and the udon noodles. They also gave us glass noodles on the house along with all the Banchan. I loved the pickled peppers especially but everything was fresh, and really added to the experience. We loved the udon noodles to say the least and we did our best to finish our meal. The only thing that could've been improved was once the staff was done cooking the food they didn't let us know really. They might have been trying not to interrupt us but after the first course, they never indicated to us that the food was ready for us. They walked away like they usually did while waiting. We also had some uncooked meat remaining at the end of our meal that we weren't sure why they left out table side the entire time. It felt like a waste especially since we had done very well with the food and finished most of our kbbq - we left the noodles for a weekday lunch primarily.

This is a small storefront on Lemoine. It's a very clean open kitchen, kind of intimidating since I…read moredon't know any Korean and I've only had like 5-6 dish before. I was on my own when I stopped for lunch. I do really like bibimbap, rice, vegetables and an egg on top. Today I tried the Kimchi fried rice. Started off, they gave me a huge bowl of kimchi. Next they brought soup and the fried rice with an egg on top. I'm not sure if this the correct way to eat it, I mixed the rice, egg and added plenty of kimchi. Just delicious and way too much for me, so I'll have a snack later.

There's metered parking right out front, which is super convenient. I did notice some customers…read moreparking in the lot next door (it's technically for the bagel shop), so just keep in mind if you're parking there, it's at your own risk. The restaurant itself has such a cozy, homey vibe - very much a cute grandma and grandpa type of spot that immediately makes you feel warm and fuzzy like at your grandparents. One thing I absolutely loved: they give you an entire pot of kimchi with your order. Not just a few pieces on a small dish, but a whole pot. I wish it was a bit more fermented for my personal taste, but I really appreciate not having to keep asking for refills like at other places. The fried dumplings are a must order! The filling was super juicy and packed with flavor, honestly one of the highlights of the meal. We also ordered the classic yukgaejang kalguksu and the ox bone soup, and both were incredibly flavorful. The kalguksu noodles had that perfect chewy texture and paired so well with the rich, spicy yukgaejang broth. Everything felt comforting, like a warm homemade meal straight out of a grandma's kitchen.

Update: It's still a five star for me. It's my third time here but this was my second time dining…read morein and oh man, this place is still so special. I love the Korean grandma that is there, her energy is great, she is so friendly and kind. Nom Nom Nom. It helps if you are Korean or if you go with someone who can speak and/or read it. The clientele is predominantly Korean and the restaurant itself is so freaking tiny. I am giving it 5 stars on a dish that wasn't even their most popular, their go to dish is a chicken stew. So if I was so blown away by their second best dish, I am very curious to find out how their best dish is. The menu is written all in Korean but there are pictures. Their banchan is pretty basic since they only give you two items. The Kimchi has really good flavor but it has a pretty aggressive kick like how it is in Korea. The radish kimchi is very aggressive, I enjoyed the flavor but it was kung pow in my mouth. The food: Gamjatang- It is a very popular Korean dish and is basically a pork spine soup. The pork was insanely good, it basically melted in my mouth. The kimchi in the stew was excellent, the potato was not over cooked and the broth was exploding with flavor. It was spicy but it was a good kinda of burn. The order comes on a table side burner and is served in a huge pot. It was $30 for the dish but it was easily enough for four maybe five people. I think they might serve this as an individual dish as well, I am not sure. This is easily the best Gamjatang I ever had. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=4_oYgQgODHqgpfIPmotVjA Sooyuk- I got this on my most recent visit, oh damn, this was cooked perfectly. It comes over kimchi scallion greens and it was amazing. I added some ssamjang and it was the perfect bite. I really enjoyed this a lot. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=xfbOgFVgmXSaVREsWlcN_w Jokbal- I thought this was cooked perfectly. The meat super tender and the fat was nice and jiggly but I did find the jokbal in need of some flavoring. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=V2lHXJd7QchU1nlLrAhvcw

Today I was craving a broth or noodle dish. I've been searching through various Japanese, Korean,…read moreand Chinese spots, and honestly, there were only two places where I actually liked this kind of stew. However, this restaurant ( MIGAM) completely exceeded my expectations! Everything is made with high-quality ingredients, and they prepared my takeout order exactly as I requested. SPICY BRISKET JJAMPPONG It's a spicy dish, but since spice levels vary from place to place--and being Mexican, I'm used to spicy food--I didn't want to take any chances, so I ordered it medium spicy. They hit the nail on the head! It was absolute perfection. The broth was rich, thick, and packed with flavor--delightful in every single way. The portion size is so generous that it will easily cover two meals, and I'm sharing some with my husband. It came with four sides (banchan), including kimchi, and I can honestly say it's the best kimchi I've ever had in my life--and I've tried Korean food both in Mexico and here in the U.S. I first visited this restaurant in Tenafly over a year ago when I believe they were just starting out. Back then, I met a woman who I believe is the owner. I am so glad to see they still maintain that same phenomenal quality! They cook with such attention to detail that I no longer have to worry about looking for another place to get this kind of food. Thank you so much, blessings, and congratulations on the wonderful work and dedication you put into preparing the most delicious Korean dishes I've ever tasted. See you very soon!

A small Korean Chinese place in Tenafly…read more When this place opened years ago, it was quite hype - since we all had to always go to Palisades Park area for Korean Chinese food. We used to come a lot !!! But the food seems to have degraded its quality, with no consistency. Quite a disappointment since there really aren't any Korean food in Tenafly... We ordered Fried Shrimp in garlic sauce ($29.99) and we could taste too much of soy sauce in the dressing. Quite a small quantity for this price too. My usual go to place is Tae Myung Guan in Palisades Park, and Ah Woo Rang for a large groups also at Palisades Park.
