Was my first time and had a wonderful experience here. Went with my boyfriend so we only had 2 people eating all of the korean bbq. Found this place bc I was craving kbbq so badly and this place hit the spot! You can make reservations online at least 1 hour in advance day of. The meats were delicious and the people working there are so nice! The workers help you and come by to check in on your meats to make sure it's not burning. The banchan was delicious. We ordered the brisket, kalbi steak, pork belly and bulgogi for the meats and had lettuce wraps, salad, and spicy tofu soup as the sides. The meat portions they give out were huge for 2 people so definitely come with more people or maybe ask for half portion if they allow it. There's a club vibe where there's kpop music videos playing everywhere! read more

This is my first time trying Korean bbq in New Jersey and I was pleasantly surprised. The outside of the restaurant looks dark, dim and not inviting. When I first arrived with my party, it looked as though they had so many seats/ tables that were vacant. When we entered into the restaurant you realize that the size of the restaurant is a complete illusion from the outside. The whole area is Huge and extends way into the back. In addition, it was incredibly busy and packed with people. For someone who is not a huge meat eater, I really did enjoy the experience and the taste of the food. We were a party of 6 and did 2 rounds of 6 different types of meat. Our bill came out to about $80 for every 2 people. The price is definitely worth it for a large group. If I had just made the trip with my husband, I definitely wouldn't have eaten my money's worth. My husband wouldn't also be able to compensate & eat $80 of food at once. The service was great. The waiters were attentive to our needs and were able to get everything that we needed upon request. The flavors of the food were delicious. In front of everyone's plate was an array of condiments that really complimented the meats. I walked away feeling very satisfied with my meal. Would definitely recommend for an experience! I also loved the Korean pop videos playing in the background. read more

We dined at 02 Korean Bbq Wednesday night and that is going to be our new spot! Impeccable, friendly and attentive service truly elevated our experience. They anticipated all our needs and the food was delicious. I recommend pairing the marinated kalbi steak and the sour apple soju, you won't regret it. The ambiance was absolute, great music and vibe, perfect for a cozy date night with your special someone. read more

This was my first time at O2; I've heard so many great things about this place so I had to try it for myself! The price is a bit pricier than other AYCE in the area but I'd say the quality definitely justifies the price. Service is very quick and the waiters do a good job at cooking the meat. The grill is the same as the one in Cast Iron Pot, which I liked since it was big and can fit lots of food on. The pork jowl was so so good, anyone who likes pork belly should try pork jowl, its less dry than pork belly! One thing I would say is to not get the mixed drinks, it was pretty watered down to the point it tasted like diluted juice; I'm not even sure if there was alcohol in it! I do want to try to come again and try different meats. Maybe next time ill try other drinks as well. All in all, the experience was pretty good, but they just need to work on their mixed drinks! read more

Love this place! This is our family's favorite K-Bbq spot. Great food. Wonderful staff. You can't go wrong.

We came here just when they opened on a Friday. It was empty but quite large and well kept. It was a cold, rainy day so some K BBQ for lunch was a great choice.We ordered the lunch A. We like K BBQ but always seem to get full by the first round of choices. There were good picks from the menu for us. Service was quick. They have plenty of small dishes and dips. The server was well trained, attentive and professional. He BBQ'd the meats and veggies quickly. All tasty but nothing out of the ordinary. They're in an odd location outside the main Korean neighborhoods. Look on their website for parking instructions. Great first impression with service and cleanliness. Recommended. read more

O2 is an awesome spot for Korean BBQ! This place is easy to miss, but once you find it, you're in for a treat. Super spacious, clean and well staffed and great food. For an all-you-can-eat restaurant, it is quite affordable. They have a huge selection of meats, which we enjoyed very much; as well as good drinks. We had a little bit of everything and loved it all. Spicy pork belly, marinated steak, brisket, beef bulgogi, and the list goes on! We also had the spicy fried rice cake and it tasted delicious! I loved that they provide a variety of toppings and side to go with your meats. I would definitely recommend checking this spot out if you're in the area, it won't disappoint! They also have a good lunch menu if you'd like to try that instead of dinner! read more

First time trying this place out last Friday and it wasn't bad. I was very impressed with the quality of the thin brisket. The other meats were the regular quality you get from any ayce bbq. Intestines were not good at all. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely come back for soju and Korean bbq since it's close to my friends's place. Would not recommend for high quality bbq read more

Came here with a group of 5 people on a Saturday night and the wait was not too bad. The restaurant was crowded enough so we felt a good bustling vibe and the restaurant itself was very spacious and clean. The only distracting is all the TV (playing kpop) they have on their wall. It almost felt like I was walking into an electronic store. As for the menu, it was AYCE and they offered a lot of choices, except for the one cut that I really like, which is kalbi on the bone. Regardless, their other selection was good and I like that their meat was not too overly marinated. As for the cooking method, I wasn't too thrill with. Instead of being able to grill my food, I was pretty much cooking it over an iron skillet. For me, I prefer charcoal and I think it definitely makes the meat taste better, especially with the smokiness that blinds my senses with joy. As for the staff, they were great! They were very attentive and was constantly on hand to help us with any assistant and kept on changing our grill when needed. The price tag is not bad and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that's looking for a good time and good eat. read more

We have been to O2 a few times now and each time was fantastic. We have made a reservation each time we have been and I would definitely suggest doing that. There can be a wait as this is a popular spot. You can park in the parking deck for free or you can street park out front. The street parking is paid but it is a shorter walk to the restaurant. Now for the food, amazing. It is $36 for AYCE and all of the selections are great. My favorite is the beef bulgogi - perfectly seasoned and very good. There is a great banchan selection and there are many drink choices as well. The location is large and good for a big group or for families. read more

The service and food is still 5 stars, but the parking has gotten significantly worse. Took us 40 mins driving around the garage and there were issues getting reimbursed when leaving. I know it's not the restaurants fault but it definitely hinders the experience read more

O2 BBQ - Dinner - Korean Near Me - Guttenberg, New Jersey

Unwittingly stumbled upon this place with a friend looking for soup because I was recovering from indigestion. I know, AYCE K-bbq seems like the last place to go to when you're recovering from indigestion. But read on to find how my indigestion journey turned out. Nestled in the ghostly Galaxy Mall, thankfully you don't have to go through the said ghostly halls because they have an outdoor entrance in front. Parking was easy on a late weekday lunch (street meter parking you can pay with app), but I can imagine it'd be much harder on a weekend unless you utilize Galaxy's parking. We were waiting to be seated and when they did seat us, we were slightly puzzled because the table had veggies up on their cast iron pot lid which they use as the grill, along with assortment of banchans. So this is when we realized our mistake - you can't order anything without going auto-bbq. Haha, our fault, not theirs. So what the hey, we just went for meat BBQ anyway after looking at possibility of doing vegetable bbq which was gonna make our day, SAD. :( How it works is that after agreeing to go with AYCE bbq, you order whatever you want from 1) meat section as well as 2) side section. So we ordered from the side section the steamed egg and what we came for - the Sogogi Moo Gook (beef & radish soup - comfort food!). Soup was surprisingly good and calmed my upset stomach quickly and revved up my appetite soon enough. We ordered beef brisket, Top blade steak (unmarinated), gopchang (cow small intestines, aka "Chitterlings"), Kalbi marinated steak, and pork belly. Brisket (4/5) - Crowd pleaser to get BBQ on. Order this in the beginning to get your buds ready for action. The curvature of the pot lid cooking surface makes this less fatty and when dipped in the mustard sauce, it's perfect. Top blade steak (5/5) - Our favorite pick of the day! Thick and juicy with great beef taste all you gotta do is dip lightly in rock salt & pepper to really bring the flavor out. Small intestines (3/5) - I'm a gopchang fan so I can't help but order it when I go to AYCE BBQ places (they tend to be more $, too), and while they were crispy when cooked throughly, they weren't as fresh and "popping" with flavor. Pork belly (2/5) - Supposed to be a top contender in any K bbq joints, this was surprisingly lackluster. A bit too fatty with not enough bounce and lacking in that hallmark nutty flavor. Kalbi marinated steak (3/5) - Less fresh than the top blade steak and just so-so tasting. Opt for the top blade if you're a serious meat fan. Service was on point, though considering the time they were pretty free. It may seem like we ordered a lot, but because portions in general are smaller than what you'd get at a non-AYCE places, it was just the right amount of food for two. After the meal, I felt good - the quality was definitely there and their sides were thoughtfully crafted to compliment the AYCE. Though I was skeptical, this was a great k-bbq experience that I hadn't expected, and I recommend this place to anyone looking for good AYCE k-bbq around the area. Just be prepared to shell out $20-$35 per person depending on lunch/dinner. read more

There's been a series of AYCE Korean BBQ places opening in the North NJ area and I have no complaints. It's been fun trying all of these places and comparing and contrasting them one by one. Unfortunately, O2 did not make the cut. Here's why: - For AYCE, the speed at which your meat is cooked is key. The more time it takes for the meat to cook, the faster you feel full, and the less you eat. The heat level at O2 was no good. It took FOREVER for our meat to cook. - The price point is pretty on par with the other BBQ places but if you think about added value... there isn't anything to distinguish O2. For example, Gorilla has a salad and hot food bar included. Cast Iron 2 is BYOB (although the meat quality is MEH, see my review on Cast Iron 2.) The service was great, and the restaurant is HUGE. You will probably never have trouble finding seating here. Overall, it was a decent experience (3.5/5) but my pick for AYCE BBQ is Gorilla in Cliffside Park. read more

This is officially my new happy place. Everything was wonderful from the moment we walked in, the staff was really friendly. We came on a Thursday night and enjoyed a feast of spicy chicken, top blade steak, spicy pork bulgogi and, brisket. Service was great with waiters answering all our questions and providing recommendations, as well as cracking a few jokes. But of course the star of the event was pork bulgogi. I cannot even explain to you how delicious it is. I made sure none of it was left behind, I was absolutely in a food coma from the juicy texture and some wild unicorn of marinade they put it in. In that moment I was the happiest I have ever been and I literally told my husband that I wanted to take a dip in the bulgogi and just swim and eat that deliciousness. I also have to note that I really enjoyed the spicy sauce they provide as it had a lot of flavor and not just heat, thus adding to the overall flavor journey of the dinner. And of course, the bean sauce was absolutely fantastic. I asked for more sauce and it was served immediately, so don't be afraid to ask for more sauce! The amazing price, convenient location, and absolutely to die for delicious meat is why you should run and not walk to this place! I will be back once I digest all the protein :) read more

Good not great -- when you go to a KBBQ spot, you're already paying a premium for standard cuts of meat in standard marinated sauces. What rubbed me the wrong way were a few things at O2 BBQ -- first, we had a party of 3, we came hungry & ready to eat. We were told that we can only order 2 meats at a time -- now I would understand perhaps after the first 3-4 servings to mitigate the propensity of wasting food/money/meat to enforce some type of limit-rule, however from the start we were told two meats at a time. This seemed odd because I could easily cook 4 meats at a time, I personally could consume the entire portion & most others could as well. So frankly, I didn't appreciate this rule at all. Second, the parking location/situation was awful -- we had to navigate through a sketchy mall to get to the restaurant -- probably a better way but couldn't easily figure that out. Lastly, they didn't have that extensive of a menu as it pertains to non-veg sides for BBQ -- I am an avid KBBQ fan & the sauces, sides & veggies that come alongside the actual meat are equally as great to enjoy while cooking/eating the BBQ. All in all, I would not recommend O2 BBQ for multiple reasons, if it's your first KBBQ experience, this will set the bar VERY slow & if you're a KBBQ fan, this will honestly just disapoint you. Huge fan of V-YAN Hot Pot & BBQ in Parsippany -- they are probably one of the best in NJ! read more

Metered parking is available on the street, but you can park inside the garage. They ask you where you parked inside. I parked on the street, but they probably validate your parking, or give you a discount in the garage. As far as the experience, first time eating Korean food. It was different. All you can eat for $29.95. You can choose up to two meats per person. Ain't no way I was choosing to eat small intestine, or anything like it. The choices of Marinated Chicken, Pork Belly, Beef Thin Brisket, & Pork Steak were all very good. They bring the meat out to you, and it cooks right in front of you. The waiter can assist you, cut up the meat, and continue turning it over until it's done, or you can do it yourself. First time trying Jinro, strawberry drink; I liked it Overall, it was a different experience for me, but I enjoyed it. read more

I had heard about this place because there's a location in Queens, so I thought I'd try one closer to home. We went here on a Wednesday night and it was pretty full, but we didn't have to wait that long, just about five minutes for them to get our table ready. The AYCE dinner is about $27, so it's worth it if you come hungry. We ordered brisket, pork belly, kalbi, and bulgogi. The brisket was really good and we actually ordered four servings of it. The pork belly was just alright -- not that flavorful or tender in my opinion. The kalbi was my favorite, it had a really great flavor and was tender and juicy. The bulgogi was also good, though not my favorite as it wasn't as juicy or flavorful as I normally like. We also got steamed egg, which is one of my favorite dishes. The service here was kind of meh. The person who was supposed to be cooking the meat for us wasn't very attentive, and he never let us know if our meat was ready or not, so we were left wondering if our meat was overcooked or undercooked. Then, when we decided to check it out and cook it ourselves he said something along the lines of "hey, you're doing my job." He said it somewhat jokingly, but still, it would have been nice if he were more attentive and let us know when our food was ready to eat. All in all, O2 was a good experience, and I'd come here again. read more

For $37.95 all you can eat Korean BBQ, this place didn't miss a beat. The staff checked in frequently and cooked the grilled items for us. We ordered multiple items including gyoza, pork belly, spicy squid, kalbi marinated tender steak, beef bulgogi, and beef thin brisket. The bulgogi and brisket were by far my favorites. A perk was they validated parking in the garage beneath the restaurant, which was super convenient. All in all, if you are in the mood for this type of food you most definitely will be satisfied and leave this place full. read more

O2 is big vibe with great food! This was my first time at a Korean BBQ restaurant and I definitely enjoyed it. Make sure to place your reservations ahead of time as everyone does as well. Whether you're coming for a big party or small one, O2 accommodates you well. You get to order as many selections and sides as you wish but make sure to finish what you order before you order for more food. You get to cook the meats yourself right at your table which is pretty cool. There's a lot of seasonings to choose from and you ultimately get to decide it all. It was a great experience coming with a few friends where they even had upbeat music. It was definitely a fun environment to be in. Definitely recommend O2. read more

I came here for a friend's birthday and had such a great time! The staff is extremely friendly and the service is phenomenal and so fast. I definitely recommend this place to all! I will say, (not related to the food) the parking garage is huge and I got lost so just make sure you know exactly where you parked and also get your ticket validated by the staff at the restaurant so you don't have to pay crazy parking fees. Had a great time here and can't wait to come back! read more

So freaking happy we get a korean bbq spot in Hudson county finally!!! A really wide selection on meats and sides for the AYCE option. It's new so everything is super clean, staff is really attentive, food is fresh. Top quality when you see everything before it's cooked. No hiding behind heavy sauces and all that. Side salads, kimchi, marinated onions, dipping sauces, rice, eggs, pot stickers, dok, pork belly, Bulgogi, brisket, kahbi (sp?) all these side veggies. For under $30? Can't beat it. Really. All different flavors of soju, kpop playing on the TVs around the dining room. Free validated parking in the galaxy parking lot so that's a crazy good plus especially for this area. Really hope this sparks a renaissance for the galaxy building since there's so much available space in there! read more

I will definitely be come back here! Came on a Saturday evening, made reservation the night before. They are very strict about Covid precautions! Must wear a mask, temperature check and hand sanitizer. There is social distancing enforced. I came in wanting a bento box and was told everyone has to do the All You Can Eat option so keep that aware in case you wanted something else. It's $32 pp The meat was very delicious. My favorite was the spicy chicken! Yum! Also, we didn't have too much experience with Korean bbq but the waiters were near by to help out and were very attentive. This place is 10 out of 10! read more

My party and I dined here on July 4th for dinner and we were all impressed with the food and service, which were both phenomenal. The meats were nicely prepared by the host and we did not really have to do anything except wait for the meat to be cooked and eat. He even cut up the meats and changed the grill for us. We pretty much tried everything on their menu. A few items that stood out to us were the pork steak, spicy pork bulgogi, spicy pork belly, kale marinated steak and the hanging tender steak. We also had the spicy fried rice cake and steamed egg as appetizers. The meats were nicely marinated with their Korean blend of sauce which were slightly sweet and tangy. More condiments were also provided table side. The slight char produced by the cast iron grill definitely added a nice slightly sweetened and bitter aftertaste to accompany the meat. There were also lettuce wraps and white rice on the menu if you like to wrap the meats with the lettuce of to go along with a bowl of rice. Overall, I had a great first experience here at O2. The staff were hospitable and the venue was kept in pristine condition. There were T.V. lined up alongside the walls so that patrons can watch Kpop music videos while dining here. Highly recommended! read more

Loved the food and the service. They have K-pop videos on play which give chilled vibes. You pay per person and have a selected unlimited menu.

A really good spot for Korean BBQ. For a very reasonable fee it's an all-you-can-eat experience. They have a huge menu of different kinds of meats as well as vegetables. The quality was great and I definitely felt like I was getting my money's worth. read more

UPDATE: They added dessert wine and cocktails ! More entree options, better quality meat, additional side options such as steamed egg and gyoza, and an exceptional, super friendly and accommodating wait staff all at a solid fair price. In an area saturated with korean bbq joints, O2 BBQ continues excellent tradition while also increasing the standards of what customers should expect at a korean bbq restaurant. This establishment improves on every aspect of korean bbq and also isn't afraid to push the boundaries by adding never before seen menu items. The beef brisket, top blade steak, and pork belly here was of the most consistently juicy and tender cuts I've ever had in my life. For those who love marinated meats, their options aren't so heavily marinated but the flavors are still very present and doesn't take away from the tenderness of the meat. Also loved they had lettuce wraps as a side option so you don't get full gas Definitely visiting again, would highly recommend! read more

Even though the Ft Lee area has a number of AYCE Korean BBQs, they can be lackluster so we're always on the hunt for a good place. We were curious to try O2, especially since it's a little further south and inside the Galaxy's mall. Fortunately, parking isn't a problem. You can park in the garage and the restaurant will validate your ticket. The interior looked and smelled new and the hostess said they had been open for a week. It's a clean, modern place with TVs playing kpop. We arrived before the dinner crowd so there was plenty of space and we were served promptly. We ordered brisket, hanging tender steak, top blade steak, kalbi, pork belly, soy pork rib, spicy pork belly and a number of sides. The meat quality was good; our favorites were the kalbi and top blade steaks, which we ordered multiple times. The steamed egg was surprisingly good too, probably the best we've had at a Korean bbq. The only thing that would have made our meal better would be grand opening prices :p. We had a positive experience and will be back. read more

Operations are seems working very well, all the workers are so welcoming and I constantly sew their smiles, which is wonderful. all the selections from the menu is right potion for us cuz we could try many different protains and sides. not too much, not too small. just right thought. I also personally appreciated that "care" one of our server offering to give us half size of meat item we wanted to try, cuz that was our last order. we both held a second to let him know what we want to, cuz we were nearly full and could not decided to do order or not. we were glad he asked us to can have half. very impressive. We'd love to come back with my friends soon! read more

I first tried this franchise in Queens a couple of months ago, so we were excited to hear that they opened a location close to home! AYCE Korean bbq has to be my top favorite type of restaurant. What I truly enjoyed about this place was their service and that they offer other items on their menu that other restaurants do not usually include in their AYCE menu, such as eggs + dumplings! My top favorite meat here was Kalbi and beef brisket. They also had a vegetarian all you can eat option and free parking valid for 4 hours (just make sure to get your ticket validated with your server). If you don't want to drive to a separate location & craving for desert, they offer cake and ice cream for an additional price. read more

Came here for lunch today. When I entered, there were several parties already there. There are TV screens playing K-pop music. The place is bigger than the one in Bayside. For $26.99, the place offers more appetizers than the Cast Iron Pot and O2 in Bayside. From it, I ordered their lettuce for meats, gyoza, and miso soup. Since I had oatmeal for breakfast, I ordered pork belly, pork skin, soy pork rib, pork jowl, beef bulgogi. What I like is that the items are​ small so I can order more. Similar​ to the Cast Iron Port and O2 in Bayside, it uses circular grills that are​ slanted to remove fat. There are four banchan of kimchi. Their dipping sauces are gochujang, bean paste, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt. Would come again, especially​ that it is in front of the bus stop. read more
