Unique kbbq experience; probably the only place grilling up fresh clams around town. The clams are delicious and as they cook, the server puts the clam juices into a container that ends up as an end of the meal soup thing. It's spicy and definitely gives you a jolt that refreshes you at the end of a meal. Service is great and they grill everything for you. So glad I found this place and I for sure will be coming here regularly from now on! read more

Obaltan used to be my favorite Korean restaurant but tonight's experience was a shocking disappointment. The food tasted so vastly different that I asked if they had a change in ownership, which they denied. Still, I suspect there was a change in their kitchen staff because 2/3 things we ordered were underseasoned and just...not tasty. The quality of their beef had also taken a hit - with their meat absolutely flavorless and dry. Also, their kimchi is now sweet - I've never had sweet kimchi before. It wasn't exactly bad, but it just made me suspicious that they'd completely overhauled their old recipes. 2 stars because the service was amazingly attentive. read more

The service here is amazing and prices are really good! It's a pocha style korean restaurant with korean bbq. If you come here on weekdays it's more of a family vibe and on weekends it's a drinking vibe. If you like korean intestines, I highly recommend getting the intestine combo, because it comes with stew and steamed eggs! I also really like the cheese ddukpokki. The servers are very attentive and constantly checking up on you. There's also a lot of seating. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area! read more

I wanted to try this place after watching a Youtube vid of the Fung Bros trying this place out! We got the seafood special and added in the spicy rice cakes + corn cheese. This was for 2 people and we were very satisfied with the meal. I would recommend the seafood special but make sure you add in the spicy rice cake and corn cheese or else you'll probably get sick of eating just the clams. read more

Talk about stumbling into a gem! After a night of a Broadway show, was looking for some late night eats of Korean fare and wala: Obaltan pops up on Yelp! We ordered some stew since the weather was in the teens so we ordered the seafood stew, budae jigae and the seafood pancake. Everything was soooo good! The seafood stew was especially delicious. I asked if it was made of crack because I just could not get enough. Every dish was hearty with ingredients and so darn flavorful. What made it even better was the service from start to finish. They are very respectful and attentive to any needs and then some! I wished they had something similar in HI! In the mean I will have to make this a stop every time I am onthe East Coast. read more

When I first walked in, I thought the interior of the restaurant was cool because of the red see through dividers which made the restaurant look big and the chalkboard wall. We were seated fast on a Tuesday Night for dinner. We came to this restaurant because we were searching for Cold buckwheat noodle in broth (Naengmyeon). As we looked at the menu, we agreed to order the Clam Combo because the pictures on the other reviews looked tasty. The clams and scallops were so tasty. I recommend that you try this. We ordered the clams without cheese and it was still good. The waitress was very kind when we asked for no cheese. She cooked the clams for us right at the table and she warned us that the clam juice could hit us when they open. Thank you for the heads up. We added the Thin sliced brisket from A La Carte because I wanted to try the BBQ. The waitress cooked the brisket at the next table since the table we were sitting at had all the clam combo items. When I eat meat, I like to eat it off the grill but because we ordered meat and seafood, one of them had to be cooked at another table. We could have asked for it to be cooked at the same table; however, it may have taken a long time. The Cold Buckwheat noodle in broth was good. I would recommend that you try it. If you love clams or Korean BBQ then you should give this place a try. read more

Came here on a Friday night the wait was about two hours. Decided to get on the online wait list and got dessert first at sweet churros near by. The place was crowded but the server was attentive. We ordered the seafood combo and got raspberry wine. The wine was strong and sweet and after I left the place I got two small bottles to keep at home. It was a lot of food both my bf and I were super full. I thought the bill was pretty cheap for seafood about $120. The combo came with salad, shrimp, kimichi, radish, clams, eggs,mussels,cheese scallops, and soup. I wish I would of tried there rice but honestly I was too full. The order comes with a steam pot of clams. The seafood was tasty and there was enough to take home but I didn't like the veggies. read more

Came here during peak dinner service time and needed to wait for 30 minutes even with a reservation. It was freezing outside and korean bbq seemed like a hit so we didn't mind waiting. Once inside, we were quickly sat in a big table. They only have tables for 4 or more and we were only two people which at first felt a little weird but more space is always nice. I generally never go to a la carte kbbq places but I heard good things about this place and wanted to give it a try. Everything I had was good - the oysters, the shrimp, the scallops, the ribeye, the porkbelly. We finished off the meal with naengmyun and it was a perfect ending. My favorite was the ribeye and the scallops. They were so juicy and tender and cooked perfectly! Definitely would back, with more people to share good food with. The only reason why this isn't a 5 star however is that the servers seemed a little obnoxious for some reason. read more

This is easily one of my favorite places to eat at in Fort Lee area because of the deliciousness, the incredible teamwork to get your meat grilled. Their only downside is they have 1 bathroom in the facility. Everything tastes fresh and seasoned perfectly. I always enjoy every meal I've had here.

This place is getting pretty popular, with a minimal 1 and a half hour wait time. Tip, go scan the barcode at the door for your wait, then drive to Hmart or something to kill time, they will call you 20min before your table might be ready, we waited another 40min, ouch. They have meter parking outside, 75cent per hour. We were there at 6:30pm, the meter spot end at 6pm on Saturday. The place is good, we ordered the Surf & Turf, wouldn't recommend though because they boiled all the seafood in the kitchen rather than grilling in front of you mixing all the crab, shrimp, mussel, and clam natural flavor together, not particularly my preference. The reason for that is I guess they need the grill for meat. Kimchi fried rice and the steam egg was No Joke, almost tasted like the steam egg uses the crab flavor to cook, the steak was your typical Korean marinated sauce which was also really good. The service and price were what you expect from a good Korean restaurant. For the bad, their side dishes were disappointing, and kimchi soup was not particularly good and not a fan of the $25 Scallop on the shell which melted with cheese. I will definitely come back to try the other dishes. read more

This place definitely has its ups and downs. Last night I had a 4 star experience. 2 weeks ago I had a 2 star experience and last month a 3 star hence the overall 3. My favorite is the pork combo when cooked properly charred and crispy. Another favorite is the seafood combo. Love the sides and soups that come with. Definitely a drinking hole since people linger with their meats and soju so expect a 30-40 min wait on a Fri and Sat night. Not large group friendly since tables only seat 6 max. Overall, it's a good spot for late night eats. Service was really awesome last night and they have the playoffs on their TVs. Hoping for some consistency as they establish themselves. read more

LOVE this place, and so happy it exists. I love the restaurants in Korea that just straight-up grill seafood like this. I've been craving it ever sine I watched "Let's Eat" (mukbang show) on Netflix (warning: do NOT watch late at night...you will get hungry)! Obaltan does Happy Hour starting at 10 p.m. We got there a little before 10 last night, and ordered the SEAFOOD COMBO, the BABY OCTUPUS/PORK BELLY STIR FRY, and an order of raw oysters (last two items on the happy hour menu). Everything was very fresh -- my favorite was the little neck clams. The larger clams come with different sauces mixed in), and the shrimp at the end were also delicious. Just a warning -- the clams sometime explode open when they're ready and I got burnt on my forehead during the meal. So sit back! Our waiter was super cool and courteous -- the place is clean and has a nice late-night vibe to it. The sides are SO good -- corn cheese (yas), ddukbokki, and clam ramen (which was pretty bland, but noodles!). The stir fry was amazing as well, a bit spicy but went well with the seafood. I'll definitely be back for some more late night feasting! read more

Shame on you for starting $200 for .8 pounds of food. Disgusting unprofessional, and shameful. Other than that, hope everybody's having a great day.

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

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.

First time for me, and hopefully not the last. Unfortunately, I live in DC but this will definitely be on the list of favorite restaurants to return to. FOOD: Holy Shabu-moly! The fish cake, veggie, noodle, dumpling, sauce selection was too much. Seriously, I mean that literally. Patrons are paralyzed by the paradox of choice.

There as one older waitresses in particular, whose name I did not catch, but she was exceptional in her service -- to not just our section, but to everyone. She seemed to understand well how to cater to the restaurant patrons, taking into consideration that we were grieving a loss of a family member/friend. The food was excellent. The "banchan" side dishes were fresh and savory with continuous refills. They provided us with appetizer of the two types of "jeon"s - when was seafood and one was kimchi. I ordered the super sized "galbi tang" (갈비탕 - Short Rib Soup). I say "super sized" as it's quite larger in quantity than any I have ever had in any restaurant! . They had already pre-sorted the meat from the bones which usually are included in this particular dish. The amount of meat was incredibly abundant and absolutely savory and soft to chew. The meal was so big that I packed most of it to go and it sealed up almost to the top of a quart container! Other guests tried the "oohguhgi galbi tang" (Short Rib Cabbage Soup - 우거지 갈비탕) and "bibimbap" (Mixed Rice with root vegetables - 비빔밥) which looked delicious and ample in quantity as well. The restaurant is located off-shot from Lemoine Avenue In Fort Lee (soon after you cross Main Street) and turn into their driveway right before Charim Restaurant/Paris Baguette Cafe. Parking is plenty for free and the entrance has stairs and ramps for wheelchair/walkers. The bathroom is to your left as soon as you enter the restaurant. The ambiance is elegant and clean. Service is prompt and courteous (with exception to one younger waitress who was a bit curt and ignore requests but the older waitress I mentioned prior really saved the day! ). The managers were professional and helpful in directing the guests to the right places. Overall experience in food and service was 4.8/5.0. Q Grill was recently named top 10 KBBQ spots in NJ/NY. Will definitely visit and enjoy their other menu selections!

The side dishes were all flavorful and looked like home made pickled veggies and kimchis. Scallion pancakes had lots of seafood and was tasty.

SERVERS AND KITCHEN SEEMS TO HAVE CHANGED OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS! my very first encounter here was excellent. i've been coming here with my family numerous times per months until we weren't able to from transportation reasons. we finally went ever since summer, and it was an absolute mess. The clam set was fine but be aware, some of these new servers do not know how to properly peel and cook the clams on the grill!! Doing the wrong procedure and forcefully ripping apart the clams do so much damage to how it's supposed to taste. The old servers were very well with these things and overall service was so much better. The pork meat set was an absolute mess. It seemed as if they used very drying air-fryer instead of cooking it on a grill. everything was so dry to the point where it was barely edible. The worst part: seafood jjampong. My family has always been a big fan of their seafood jjampong but the day we went (Valentines Day), the portion shrunk into half the size, very salty, and the broth wasn't the same anymore. It was disgusting in other words. Please update your staffs and bring back the old kitchen staff because this is how you lose majority of your customers. The amount of people my family introduced Obaltan to is outstanding and all we feel are regrets because of how much of a mess it is here now. read more

I visited this establishment a year ago and had an exceptional experience, encompassing a delightful ambiance, exquisite food, and an uplifting mood. Recently, I decided to revisit with the anticipation of relishing their seafood BBQ and soju, as we had made a promise on the first day of the first snow. Regrettably, our most recent encounter was straight up disappointment. Firstly, the server exhibited an excessive level of attentiveness. He was literally standing in our table the entire time, seemingly eavesdropping on our conversation. The older gentleman serving us was not only sarcastic but also scolded us for sampling one of the soups. Moreover, he was audibly talking poop about a female employee, muttering curses under his breath--a discomforting experience, especially given his physical proximity to our table. To be honest, just leave the damn clams on the table and walk away dude. They'll open up on its own when it's ready. Despite the snowy atmosphere, the presence of friends, and the consumption of alcohol, the quality of the seafood was disappointingly subpar. This raises the perplexing question of how such a decline in quality is possible. The overall dining experience left much to be desired, and as a result, I have no intention of returning to this establishment. read more

I've had the pleasure of dining at Obaltan pre-Covid indoors & outdoor dining during Covid, and both were excellent experiences! The meat cuts they serve, especially pork and beef, main Korean entrees, the soups, all of the accompanying sides and seafood dishes were mouthwatering. The beef and pork combo are perfect portion sizes to fill any guy's stomach, highly recommend both. They make awesome soups, like soybean paste stew with beef brisket and the clam sujebi. And that kimchi fried rice! Obaltan has an awesome atmosphere that works for friends or family. They really go above and beyond with the service. Don't hesitate to ask about dishes since they're very accommodating. Most times you'll see the owner Julian both leading his team of servers, or jumping in to help on a busy night. They cater really well to their customers and Obaltan is a priceless addition to the BBQ scene. COVID dining notes: Everyone is masked and there is plenty of cleaning between diners and sanitizer readily available. Tables practice social distancing. read more

We visited Obaltan on a Friday night, and the wait was about 1.5 hours -- definitely recommend joining their online waitlist before heading over to save time. That said, the wait was totally worth it. Once seated, the service was excellent, and we felt well taken care of. We ordered the Prime Beef Combo and the Clam Gui Combo, which was about enough for four adults. They take care of all the cooking for you, which made our experience relaxing. What sets Obaltan apart from other KBBQ spots is their unique offering of grilled seafood. The grilled clams (which were huge) were perfectly cooked -- juicy and flavorful. And the prime beef was absolutely fantastic. Their egg soufflé was outstanding, definitely alsoone of the highlights of the meal. All in all, it was a great Kbbq experience with great service and delicious food. Will definitely be back! read more

Yes. So glad we came here. Amazing service. Incredible soju. Look for yourselves. Daughter wanted beef. We stopped by an old established place but immediately felt something was wrong. Won't mention name but can say they've been around too long. So found this place from looking at reviews. The waiters were super attentive and performed like it was all their own food! Taste was simply amazing. I literally had flashbacks of being in Jejudo biting into the clams! The order of beef was priced like everywhere else but the portion was great. 3 of us were able to fully enjoy hearty bites of some of the best beef I'd had in years, and I've had Michelin steaks.
