    Don't get confused thinking that this Rahongbu in Fort Lee and the one in Palisades Park are owned by the same owner and anything alike! The Rahongbu brand is a franchise from South Korea, so both locations are independently owned and just using the name. Between the two locations, I came to this one first with a friend and really enjoyed my experience here, so I decided to take my mom to the Palisades Park location thinking that it was going to be the same -- it was not. The malatang price per pound for the Fort Lee location is $13.95, which is cheaper per pound than the Palisades Park location. (Meat is additional $3.) Fort Lee also has more variety in the selection of ingredients and uses peanut based mala sauce compared to Palisades Park's sesame based mala sauce. It is probably because of this difference that the spice level is milder here than Palisades Park for the same level. The interior is spacious, and my friend and I enjoyed the decorative sayings on the wall about malatang -- they are in Korean so I did have to translate them to my friend. The ingredients are fresh, and we enjoyed the side of cucumber salad that came included with our order. On our way out, we got a tanghulu to share -- the texture is quite nice, but it would have been too much sugar for us to get one each. On my second visit, my mom and I got take out. We were the first in the restaurant after it opened, and even though they were still in the process of stocking new ingredients for the day, we could see that the items hadn't been just overnight and were quite fresh. It was while waiting for our takeout order to be ready that my mom and I spoke to the owner and learned about the differences between the two locations. I am a fan and will be back to the Fort Lee location again, which also has the benefit of a free parking lot, but one thing that could be improved is the transparency when it comes to the weight. You can see the weight on the scale, but this is quick and it does not appear itemized on the receipt. Having this corrected would make the Fort Lee location a perfect 5 stars.

    Always hits the spot! It's self serve for all the veggies, meats, and add-ins then you choose the spice level and dry vs soup at the register. The medium level is pretty spicy, so choose spice level wisely! Pricing is pretty fair-- I usually end up getting 1 lb of food including the meat and it comes out to around $17.

    Tanghulu is a popular Chinese snack consisting of a skewer of fruits coated in a rock sugar. I love fruit and this treat took my love to another level. On the second floor of the Fort Lee Plaza Shopping Center, there's a restaurant called RaHongBu MaLaTang that sells it. Each skewer is $5 and they have a $10 credit card minimum. A bit pricey for 4-6 pieces of fruit but hey... what else is new in this economy? I chose the skewer with strawberries, green grapes, and orange. The rock sugar had a satisfying crunch and the fruits were refreshing and sweet. I came later in the evening so I didn't see any options with pineapples, blueberries, bananas, or kiwis. I will have to come back another time!

    This spot is in a plaza filled with different shopping stores and restaurants. After having dinner somewhere else, I stopped here to try their tanghulu and will definitely be visiting again! The fruit tasted very fresh with nice crunchiness from the candied shell! It is pricey, each rod of fruit being $5. There is a $10 minimum if you use a debit card so definitely take some cash out. I had no choice but to buy 2 because of this but I definitely enjoyed trying different candied fruits. The mixed fruit came with mandarin, grapes and strawberries.

    Tanghulu!!!

    If you're looking for tanghulu here is the spot. Located on the second floor, they feature the tanghulu right when you walk in. My first time trying this delicious Chinese dessert and I was 100% satisfied... the sweetness, the crunch... the fresh fruit!!! So happy I finally found a spot that carries these. The strawberry and red grape are my favorite. One or two of my fruits could have been coated more (some spots were missing with the tangerines) but I can't complain too much... I ate two sticks all by myself. Pricey at $5 a stick but with the price of fruit these days it's to be expected. There are cute photo spots on the walls and it looks clean and new.

    Have not had this type of hotpot experience since visiting Shanghai. Love it! -- ie the pick your mix of foods from bins in cooler cases, put it in a bowl, and then have it all cooked for you as either wet or dry hot pot thing. Great selection of soy products, funghi and noodles. They even have the cheese filled rice cakes! Would love to see more greens-- ie broccoli.l. The No spice option was great for my daughter and bland but tasty. Our mild spice option was all about the mala from the Sichuan peppercorns; a little more complexity would be nice, but overall really happy to have come across this place. We got our hot pots as take out; there are tables but the atmosphere is pretty basic.

The shrimp filled tofu and fish sandwich were great with the plethora of veggies I grabbed. Opted for the seafood broth, and loaded it up with mushrooms galore at the beginning. The umami at the end was divine. Service was attentive, and easy going. I think the staff were impressed with the 5 plates of veg I brought back just for myself. The closing dessert of mango sorbet (which had a peach granita and cut up mango) is the highlight of it all.

It leans more towards a social, all-you-can-eat experience than quiet dinner. This was my first hot pot experience so to be fair I don't have anything to compare it to-- but I was genuinely impressed by both the quality and the quantity of the food. The selection is huge: meats, seafood, vegetables, noodles, dumplings... Everything looked fresh. Also the broth selection is a highlight-- clean, flavorful and customizable depending on your mood (light, spicy or rich). That said, it is a little overwhelming at first, if you've never done hot pot before. Building your whole meal from scratch with so many options can feel a bit confusing. But once you get the hang of it, it actually becomes part of the fun. The staff were helpful and polite. They explain the process well for first-timers. Don't skip the mango sorbet!

    We did the AYCE option on a Sunday afternoon. Not terribly busy, so it was very relaxing. The…read more90-min time limit seemed like unnecessary pressure but it's about all we needed anyway. 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. Fewer options would help me focus on the essentials and allow me more time eating than deciding. Lol. Honestly I wish I would have just focused on ordering the meats. SERVICE: We had a young waiter who was very attentive, professional, accommodating, and understanding. Also, an older gentleman who I can only imagine was a manager, stopped by to fill our water glasses and ensure we were happy with everything. FACILITY: Not exactly what I would call spacious, especially if this restaurant was packed, but it was very comfortable, especially since we had a large wheelchair. The bathrooms were immaculate. VERDICT: Can't wait to come back. Highly recommended.

    THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Great variety of hot pot foods to select from! + Excellent food quality - ALLLL of the meats (e.g., pork belly, pork shoulder, rib eye, prime fatty beef, etc.) and seafood (e.g., clams, shrimp, octopus, etc.) that we ordered were verrrrrry fresh and delicious. + All of the non-meat/seafood items to choose from (e.g., green veggies, fish balls, dumplings, corn, etc.) were also very good. + Everything that you can select from the self-serve refrigerated area to cook was well-organized, maintained and replenished when low. + The number of sauces to choose from will make your head spin ... which is a good thing! + They have 2 self-serve ice cream machines. One that serves vanilla and green tea ice cream and the other that serves vanilla and mango sorbet. And alll of the ice cream and sorbet were SUPER refreshing. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Friendly and cordial waiters. + Waiters consistently visited us to see how we were doing and to check on if we needed more meat or seafood. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior with lots of tables. + Private parking lot in the front and to the side. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- + Even on a Monday late morning to early afternoon, there were 4-5 tables occupied, including us. Considering how good the food is here, I can totally see this spot getting very busy on weekends. + As of April 2026, the all you can eat pricing is very reasonable with it ranging from $18.95 - $35.95, depending on the time of day (lunch or dinner), day of the week (weekday or weekend/holiday) and whether you want to include meats and seafood (which I TOTALLY recommend).

We like the korean spots, too, and those are everywhere, but we always crave that other spicy with spices kick. If you like spicy food, you'll LOVE their spicy soups, but be warned: start with the lowest spicy level and cautiously work your way up. We like the use of their food ordering tablet, which makes ordering easy bc the list of items can get extensive; you'll want a variety of everything to cook away in your soup. They have the option of two and three soups in one cauldron. We always get two soups: one spicy and one non-spicy. Then, we order lots of different veggies and our protein of choice is always the ribeye. They have different kinds of the non-spicy soups and they're all really good. The sauce station isn't too big like some other places, but it has everything you need to make a good personal sauce. Service is always great and attentive. They even swoop in with a hair tie and aprons before you go in on your feast. We always leave so full and so satisfied. Would definitely recommend shoo loong kan if you're craving non-korean style hotpot. Note: You can park in the garage that it's in the plaza building and they'll validate your garage ticket.

    Food 4/5 Service 2/5…read moreDoesn't like the waitress who seated us. She was irritated every time I asked a question. Which I told her at the beginning it was our first time. Still did not get much explanation. I tried to talk to her in English because none of my family speaks Mandarin. No, still got the reply in Mandarin. I don't mind if the whole table speaks Mandarin but when there are other non-Mandarin speakers, I think it's more polite to keep it English. It's AYCE. Weekend rate $42/person. Anyone who is taller than 120cm counts as adult. Honestly I did not like it. The floor is a slippery. Be careful. Other than that it's clean and nice decorations. You order everything on iPad. Choose 1or2or3 broths. I picked gold (pumpkin, again when I asked her what's in it, she seemed irritated), mushroom and mild spicy broth. Their Mild is very spicy. Most items are included in AYCE. some are extra $$. I had sliced beef, fish, shrimp, veggies. They are good. Nice quality. They also have self service bar for fish balls and other small items. Sauce station has multiple options. They validate parking ticket for 3 hours. Then you have 15mins to exit the garage. Overall I like the food and the free parking. But really did not like the waitress and the fact they charge $42 on kids.

We were recommended by a friend and there was no disappointment. The only downside is there isn't enough stomach space. The food was so delicious, from the complimentary sides to extremely crispy seafood pancake to the jeongols.

I was so surprised because my 20 month old is extremely picky and refuses to try new food and he absolutely loved it. Greatly recommendation from the kind waitress that recommended us the dishes.

If you're a fan of gamjatang, this is a really good spot for it. The jokbal and bossam both had great flavor, but the meat was a little chewier than I expected. I personally prefer both to be more tender, especially the bossam. Still tasted great, just slightly off on the texture for me. Service was probably the weakest part of the experience. It was a little difficult getting someone's attention, and we had to flag down a waiter when we needed something. Overall, the flavors were on point and I'd come back for the gamjatang. With slightly more tender pork and more attentive service, this would've easily been a 5.

I love the banchan as well, and my favorite is the edamame, which I think or flavored with miso butter?? - Pork Cutlet set, (4.5/5): got curry on the side as extra for $5, because it doesn't feel right to have tonkatsu without curry!

I ordered the Unagi Don Gozen ($42)- it came with a whole tray of different delicious items, with the star of the show being a generous amount of unagi (eel) over rice.

There was also a small bowl of udon noodles, some sashimi, a crispy tempura shrimp in a yummy creamy sauce, flavorful edamame, mashed potato with corn, and some pickled veggies - quite the diverse array, all of which was tasty. The restaurant itself has a rather simple yet elegant Japanese wooden design. The prices suggest it's a more high end place, but the vibe is actually rather casual. 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.
