Prime No.7 was an incredible experience. We went for the all you can eat option with both sushi and meats and it was the right choice. The sushi was fresh and flavorful but the real highlight was the meats. The cuts were amazing, tender, and perfectly cooked which made every plate feel like a treat. There was never a moment of regret with anything that came to the table. This was also the perfect setting to reconnect with a friend I had not seen in almost 20 years since our time in the military. The environment is welcoming and comfortable which made it easy to sit back, talk for hours, and enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. The service was attentive and kept everything moving smoothly so we could focus on the conversation and the food. Prime No.7 is more than just a place to eat. It is the kind of restaurant that makes a reunion special and turns dinner into an experience worth remembering. read more

Love the place, we try to make it there as often as possible. We get the all you can eat, of course! Usually good service but this time we felt like the portions were smaller and when we asked about it, the lady made sure we wouldn't waste the food. I completely understand that mindset but I don't think it's a good customer service approach to share it with customers. I hope they don't make us feel like we are a burden next time the family eats at this establishment. read more

Recent experience within the last two weeks was absolutely terrible. There was not one other person in the entire restaurant. A lot of the menu was gone and they were not serving sushi. Also, quite a lot of the meats from the bbq were off the menu. There was one server and one host in the entire restaurant. We got no guidance and no information and nobody helped us or removed hot plates or used plates. Whenever we wanted more food, we had to walk to the back to track down the waiter. No one ever came to check on us not one time. I'm guessing this place is going out of business because this was absolutely awful. I'm sad because it used to be a great experience. read more

We used to really love this place. It has totally changed for the worse. The entire menu is crossed out with a marker. You are left with limited choices, the portions were ridiculously small and on top of that it just didn't taste good. I'm not sure if they changed owners or just gave up but steer clear of this place. It's awful now. On top of it they measured our child at the beginning of the meal and said she was free based on her height. Then charged full price. read more

If I could, I would give zero stars. I drove over a hour and 30 minutes from New York City only to find out that the menu was completely different than what they had on their website. The waiter did not speak English, and we can hardly understand him. He didn't explain anything. He just sat us down. Gave us a piece of laminated paper to check out what we wanted and half the item were crossed off. They said they didn't have those items that exact day. The server didn't explain what meets he had gave us and on top of that it didn't taste good at all. Overall I don't recommend going to eat here at all. read more

This used to be one of our favorite places, but unfortunately it has really gone downhill. My husband and I came in for BBQ, and despite being the only customers in the restaurant, we repeatedly had to call our waiter over for assistance. He kept forgetting the items we requested, and our table hadn't been properly cleaned before we were seated. What was most disappointing was being charged an additional 20% simply because we requested halal meat. When we asked about the charge, the waiter explained that halal meat is "extra special" and requires more work, so they charge extra. If there's an upcharge for halal options, that should be clearly disclosed on the menu or before ordering, not as a surprise on the bill. Overall, the service was disappointing, and the unexpected surcharge left a bad impression. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

Nice casual restaurant with an open and large atmosphere. AYCE KBBQ or sushi or both options. The BBQ meat is decently fresh and the side dishes are solid. My only gripe is that the marinated meats are a bit on the sugary side so the hot plate ends up needing to be cleaned/replaced quicker. The service is kind and accommodating. read more

Came here on a Sunday night with my family initially planned to come for their Korean bbq but when we arrived, we were told their AYCE pricing is based on height and anyone over 4ft tall needs to pay full adult pricing which is around $40 per person. I have 2 kids which doesn't eat alot, which means my tiny 8YO son, who's the shortest in his class, will also need to pay full price. We thought this is extremely unreasonable so we opted to do a la carte. We ordered a kimchi pancake, hot stone bibimbap, army stew, 10 piece boneless chicken with soy garlic sauce, one combo kalbi with beef ramen and an order of tuna roll as my son was nagging for them. The kimchi pancake was thin, soggy, and oily. When the bibimbap came to our table, our server asked me to check if there's rice underneath as the kitchen may have left them out. I honestly have never experience anything like this before. I tried lifting through the veggies and didn't see it at first but realized it's a very small portion of rice embedded right in the middle. I have never had to order a bibimbap and put the white rice (that had came with my army stew) into the stone pot myself because there wasn't enough in there. Another thing to note is it's also my first time seeing button mushrooms used for bibimbap. The bulgogi was not well marinated or seared and the flavors were odd especially when the bulgogi was not well marinated. The soup base of the army stew was lacked depth and the kimchi was not fermented and sour enough. The rice that came with it was only half filled which I have never seen in any other Korean restaurants before. However, they had big pieces of sausage and spam which was a surprise. But they completely forgot to add the ramen. However, when I asked our server about it, he offered to let me make my own ramen at their ramen station. Their fried chicken was also a flop. The chicken pieces were flat and a little dry. It did not seem like it was double fried as it wasn't very crispy and it had too much sauce on it. The Kalbi was a joke. It was cooked on our table but the cooktop wasn't hot enough and the meat was not able to get a proper sear. It was basically boiling within its own marinate and looked very unappetizing. Their beef ramen and tuna roll, I cannot comment much because they were for my kids but I did try one noodle which was a little soggy and the tuna roll was cut to all uneven heights and the tuna, although looked ok fresh, but it was for sure not a good quality piece of fish. What a huge disappointment. The fact they price AYCE by height was very not children friendly and IMO very greedy. Their Korean dishes did not seem authentic at all. The restaurant also had no ventilation system at all so it was very smoky and smelly throughout the whole restaurant. The only positive thing was our server was great and made sure we were happy. Although it wasn't a very busy when we were there, we still had to wait for a long time before our food came out. They didn't even give us any banchan to start not to mention their banchan were very limited (only 4) and my kids were not thrilled they did not have any fish cakes. But our server gave us an order of dumplings on the house and we were thankful for that. He also took my army stew off our of bill since they left out the ramen. Overall, this is probably the worst Korean restaurant I've ever been to in all of North America including the ones I've been to in the middle of nowhere. The 1 star was really for our outstanding server and nothing else. If I can give a negative star for the food, I would. It was all MSG and I was dying of thirst throughout the rest of the night. My kids told me to never come back again. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant! The quality of the meat was amazing. I loved the bulgogi, spicy chicken, and so much more. I also loved the options for dipping sauces, it was presented how I'm used to in koreatown. I also really loved that there were so many halal choices, and that bbq and sushi were an option. The sushi was amazing and different. We loved the Wagyu nigiri and bulgogi rolls and so much more. Portion sizes were perfect for the three of us. My friends and I ate so much and can't wait to come back again. Service was excellent. Our group had allergies to soy and nuts and not only does the menu mark what has soy and sesame, but the waiter was helpful with that too. Definitely check this place out. It was worth every penny. We got our money's worth. Really delicious food! read more

Prime No 7 - Prime KoreanBBQ halal - Korean Near Me - Mahwah, New Jersey

Went on a Friday night with a group of three and waited about an hour to be seated--note: if you choose the halal option, the wait might be shorter. Once inside, we really enjoyed the variety of meats and veggies. You can pick 5 meat options at a time, but you're free to reorder as you go, which kept things fun and fresh. The wait staff is definitely limited, so you'll need to be proactive about asking for things like water, napkins, or scissors. That said, the food more than makes up for it--everything was delicious! For just $2 more, you can add unlimited sushi, which is a great deal. Definitely worth the visit! read more

Likely the worst dining experience I've ever had. Granted, they were likely understaffed, but there are still a number of things that happened that were inexcusable. Firstly, we got seated and we ordered immediately. But for an hour we were left unattended. We got no garnishes, no sauces, no food while people around us were being attended to. They weren't waiting on our food, they just forgot about us completely. Half of the food we ordered that night was never served, either. When we asked for our first grill change, it took them 30 minutes to change the grill, us having to ask three different waiters. When we finally got it, our grill was dirty, with a large dust ball and oil stain on it. The worst thing was when I was trying to ask for water, but one of the staff just shushed me by putting a finger up and leaving. He never came back to the table. It took our table a half hour just to get WATER. There are a number of other things but these were the biggest red flags. Do better. read more

The food is just okay. Nothing special for the price you pay. The bean stew has become watery. The steamed egg is the best thing in the menu. The service has gone down. They used to do the bbq, but they no longer do that for the customers. The banchan is limited to pickled radish, spicy cucumber salad, and kimchi. Also, they automatically charge the 3.5% fee even if you pay with a debit card when it is ILLEGAL to do so in the US. They still wouldn't remove the fee after informing them that it's illegal because the sign on the wall supercedes the law. read more

Prime No 7 is one of my daughter's favorite places to dine. We went for her birthday this past weekend and had great food. Granted, there have been some changes in the menu and there are a few less options for the AYCE, however the meat selection is great and the food is really good. We enjoyed and indulged in the prime cuts of beef and the seasoned shrimp. The Miso broth soup was tasty, just needed to be hotter. We plan to revisit next month and enjoy another great meal. read more

Been here two times already and I trek all the way from Queens, NY just for Halal KBBQ. They need to open a location in NYC ASAP! As far as halal meat goes, I never been to an establishment serving different cuts of meat (like intestines, beef belly, blade cuts etc.), so it was nice to finally experience this. I love beef belly! I never imagined I would say that but the texture is light and tasty. I did not like the intestine but that's because I don't like intestine in general. The price point is just right (about $50 pp). Interestingly, the All You Can Eat Sushi was only 2 or 3 dollars more, but I really didn't think I could commit to the sushi since rice is an easy stomach filler. The waiter was very kind and they are there to help you cook/cut pieces for you if you are not familiar with the cooking process. read more

We were in the area and decided to try this place since when it first opened, it had a lot of rave reviews. Did not realize it turned into an AYCE spot, but still gave it a shot via a la carte. There wasn't anything special about the interior but there was good space between tables so it wasn't stuffy. The one thing I noticed right away is that there wasn't any sort of ventilation system/fan so the smoke/smell was pretty potent. The menu was pretty large but we just went with two servings of meat, kimchi fried rice, and a plain tofu soup for our toddler. It was kind of a bummer that you had two order a minimum of two orders of the premium cuts of meat as I would have liked to have tried two different cuts, but we ended up going with the Oodae Kalbi since that seemed like their most popular cut. The serving size was better than average and the meat quality was decent. I thought it was decent value for what it was and I wouldn't mind getting it again. The kimchi fried rice was really basic and did not seem authentic at all. The tofu soup was super salty and packed with MSG. It did not come out hot and therefore the egg we put in it did not cook at all. This was very disappointing. The side dishes were decent but not good enough for an a la carte ordering. The service was ok but I definitely had to flag down the staff multiple times for the same request. I think if they created better distinction between AYCE and a la carte, it would be helpful. I wouldn't get the meat AYCE option personally since the meat choices weren't that great, but it's great they have halal option. read more

Food quality has improved, but the prices are kind of ridiculous. Everything is at least 25% too expensive with some dishes being like twice the price [$75 for galbijim which is like $35-$40 everywhere else]. Add to that the portions are small. Idk how they survive. read more

My friend and I went to a new place and decided to try something new. The design is very clean and modern. We were greeted with a staff that is so kind and attentive, we didn't have to want for attention at all. My friend and I got the beef bulgogi spicy chicken and the beef brisket, all were good, but the star was the beef bulgogi. The other sides and garnishes were all good as well. We had the fried veggie dumpling and beef dumpling that were all good. To finish we had 1 black sesame and 1 green tea mochi. Also the honorable mention out of it all is the green tea. So fresh and clean tasting. Did I mention that it was all you can eat? 8/10 read more

Excellent experience all around! I do wish they'd just take your order down instead of having you mark it down with marker on one of their reusable menus, but other than that, we liked this place a lot. Quite unassuming, given its location in a random shopping center, but the food is on point, the service is friendly, and the meats are top quality. Will be coming back again for sure. read more

Do not go to this place! Food was okay, yet the waiters were side eyeing our table and almost judging our table for waiting before ordering food. Then when trying to pay, they tried to charge us an extra $40, claiming there were 4 people (only 3 at our table). Took 15 minutes of arguing with the manager who barely spoke english before getting a refund in cash, mind you they would not accept cash as a payment. They also would not let us split a check, and were not very nice in general. Reading other reviews, I see others had similar experience of being overcharged and scammed. Very sketchy place would not go back. read more

Service: When entering, there were no other customers there. The employees at the front did not greet us or acknowledge us. I went up to the counter to order and ask questions about the food and was not acknowledged by the male at the counter. After ordering, it was a 40+ minute wait for the two "ugly cups" we ordered. Again, there were no other customers. My partner and I had enough time to go to the grocery store, get some drinks, and return again to the restaurant where we were not greeted, no friendly smiles, and the food was not prepared. When asking for recommendations, they just said to "order what we like", again, no friendliness in this entire experience. Food: I was really hoping for it to be good, especially considering the higher prices and the long wait time. Both my partner and I didn't want to finish the food, it was unenjoyable and reminded me of food from a food court. I would recommend avoiding the "dirty red sauce" and to go to fort lee instead. The town has amazing asian cuisine for a lower price, great service, and amazing food. This place was not that. Ambiance: It was nice, clean and quiet at the time. There are many rules for the all you can eat. It's an additional 30% charge if you stay for longer than the 100 minutes. If you have children, unlike other kbbq and hotpots that give discounts by age, this restaurant does it by height. Note: Again, food was not good and was not worth the price. Even at a lower cost, I would not recommend this place nor would I come back. read more

Great food, ambiance and service! Will return soon and I have recommended this place to others.

Restaurant is in the shopping mall with Acme supermarket. Spacious restaurant but not impressed with the food. I'm from NYC. I've had Korean food from the KTown restaurants. We both had the AYCE. BEEF STEAK, CHICKEN TERIYAKI, Beef BULGOLGI, MARINATED SPICY PORK, CHAP JAE, DUMPLINGS. dumplings were strange. The skin was bread-like. No taste in the filling. The chap jae was good but it was served on a plate that was teacup saucer sized. Also!!!! While we were eating, one of the guys walks over and without a word, TURNS DOWN/OFF our grill. Was that a signal that we've eaten enough? He didn't ask us. I looked at him walk over and he NEVER made eye contact with me. I thought that was SO RUDE! Overall, I would not come again based on the price, food taste and inattentive service. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. PLENTY OF OTHER PLACES TO EAT. ..Like AJ SUSHI. read more

Prime No 7 - Grilled meat - Korean Near Me - Mahwah, New Jersey

After discussing how my in-laws had not had Korean food in YEARS, how convenient that Prime No 7 just opened 10 min away in Mahwah. I have a feeling they're going to do great in Bergen county. It looks like we have NYC quality in northern NJ. We love getting bibimbap when dining in at Prime No 7. There was something for everyone in our family. My mother in law is vegetarian and I was able to introduce her to many Korean dishes without compromising her dietary needs. This includes the mushroom tangsoo, japchae with the meat removed, and the various banchan (side dishes). She and my husband had the mushroom dolsot bibimbap while my father in law and I had the short rib dolsot bibimbap. We all enjoyed everything and walked out with nothing left on the table. Only improvement my father in law noted was that the amount of meat given in the dolsot bibimbap could be more consistent (first time he had plenty, second time he said he only got a few pieces and wish he would've gotten more). Will definitely need to come back one day to do the signature Korean barbecue menu. But I'm now looking at my pictures and the menu and getting hungry. Until the next time we're back here! read more

Decent Korean BBQ place, but honestly not the best value. We started off by ordering the Seafood Scallion Pancake ($16), which was okay- a bit thin with not much seafood in there. You can probably get better quality for cheaper from a Korean grocery store. We also ordered the Corn Cheese ($10), which is exactly as it sounds- corn with melted mozzarella cheese on top. They also gave us plenty of bonchon starter dishes which were average in quality. As for the actual BBQ part, we got the Dinner BBQ Combo, which allows you to pick 3 meats for $94 (supposedly enough to feed a whole family of 3 or 4). The have some cool heating tables that look like they're just all wood but can heat up a metal cooktop on the table where they cook the meat for you in typical Korean BBQ fashion. We started off with the pork belly, which was not that flavorful and a bit tough. There were also only 4 medium-sized pieces of pork belly that they cut up into smaller pieces. Luckily, our next two meats were much better. The bulgogi was very good and tender, and the teriyaki squid was also tender and was flavorful with the tasty teriyaki sauce. Still, given the amount of meat we actually got, I don't think this was really worth the $94. The staff are very friendly, attentive, and helpful. The restaurant itself is large and open with plenty of seating at large tables. There are interestingly no vents directly above the cooktops as is the case at most Korean BBQ places, but there are lots of vents on the ceiling. Other than that, there is a pretty typical Korean BBQ vibe inside although it seems a bit more Americanized than others. There is a large parking lot for the whole shopping center right outside, which is convenient. Overall, the I'm not sure if Prime No. 7 is the most authentic Korean BBQ spot, and it shows in the okay quality food. On top of that, the value is not great. That being said, if you happen to be nearby in the area and looking for some Korean food, this could still be a decent option. I just wouldn't go too far out of your way to come here. read more

Had an amazing time here. We tried the halal Korean BBQ and it was great. We had the marinated steak hanger steak beef bulgogi and spicy beef bulgogi and also spicy squid. It was all very good quality meats. The sides were also delicious they had kimchi, miso soup, beef dumplings, veggie fried rice , rice cakes and fried rice cakes all were very delicious. The service was also very fast and good they helped us out with any questions we had. The place was also nice and spacious and you can tell them you are coming for the halal BBQ and they will seat you accordingly. Definitely a great place to be with friends and family. I will be coming back. read more

Prime No 7 - Spicy beef bologi - Korean Near Me - Mahwah, New Jersey

What an awesome MEATing I had with 2 very good friends of mine (their first time into the world of KBBQ) where we had some amazing slices of beef brisket, beef belly, hangar steak, bulgogi and one chicken (you don't go to a kbbq for chicken but just this once for the newbies). Although the banchan is limited , you can choose the sides and that's actually a good thing (no waste). But let's rewind. Back on the west coast ICAN bbq was the karate shnitzel for halal kbbq and I may have imagined opening one of these spots on the east coast being that I'm currently here, but the popularity amongst the halal folks is a mixed bag. Nonetheless I had to get out of NY to look for a spot and see how they do it. Lo and Behold , PRIME NO.7 !! So first thing i noticed was "where are those overhead exhaust wands on top of the BBQ grills"? Good thing we didn't bring our coats with us or else, game over (the food smell guys , not that there's anything wrong w it but when it mixes with your cologne or perfume...not attractive) We had the lovely Serena who helped us navigate this maze of meats and gave us one of the best experiences in explaining the meats, grilling our meats, prepping the meats then serving the meats , 2 thumbs up. The rest of the staff, very friendly , truly awesome hospitality, I have to say it made the whole experience even more special. They also have their UGLY chicken brand available as well but we will definitely be back for that round. There's a lot of meat to go around but be sure to finish everything you order (they might make a few exceptions if you finished the grill but left a few pieces of untouched meat on your plate...don't order with your eyes !) Over all with the vibe, special halal treatment and awesome staff , not to mention COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF !! If you want a halal KBBQ 1st experience, you need to come here. And to the owner David, let's talk about a LongIsland NY location, they will literally eat this up ! read more

This place is a halal korean bbq place. It has 2 separate sections for halal and non halal food. Their food is okay. Sauces are nothing special. The chili oil though is great. Super hot Now heres my problem with this place The chairs on the halal side are super uncomfortable They give plastic cutlery to handle hot food. Even soups. When asked for silverware i was told it is only used on the non halal side Also do not get the fried chicken it is horribly dry and tasteless read more

Wowieee! Firstly, a Korean BBQ joint FINALLY by me. Secondly, may I add, one of the best ones I've been to - to date. I used to live in Leonia near Fort Lee and Palisades Park where Korean BBQ spots flourish. After moving a bit off the beaten path into Passaic county, there hasn't been much around here. I was told about Prime No 7 and went on a whim as a double date. The food was EXCELLENT and the service was absolutely top notch. The table side cooking was icing on the cake. I would say the place is great for a date night or a family night out. They provide lots of sides, as does most Korean BBQ places, that come with their meals. The quality of the meats were melt-in-your-mouth-able, what I'm calling a new quality standard, ha! I was so ecstatic to find this place and even more happy when leaving. It held up to the high-standard of excitement I had and my body and soul left nourished and satiated. Um... BYOB too, which is always a major plus. read more

I forgot to take pictures! Sorry about that. Nice place, able to seat about 100 people I would guess. Clean environment. Lots of writing and advertisements all over the walls. The servers are quick, attentive and good. The prices are comparable to other Korean restaurants in the Bergen County area. The food . . . I've had better. Nothing to the taste or flavor. The presentation is simple but does not stand out. My feeling is that you spend this type of money, you should get something that is worth that amount of money. This just doesn't cut it for me. read more

This restaurant serves delicious and authentic Korean food! There are many options but it looks like they specialize in their kbbq! I came here on a weekend for lunch and they have plenty of seating so I was seated quickly. The decor is modern and I like how spacious the restaurant is! I ordered n3 oxtail bone marrow soup and s7 dumpling soup with beef broth. They were both flavorful, filling and delicious! Price wise, these items were comparable to other restaurants with this food. However, their kbbq and other items I saw on the menu were more pricey. However, they do have a lunch special menu on the weekdays! I definitely want to come back to try their kbbq! read more
