absolutely love this spot! This Korean bbq spot is different that other kbbqs in that it focuses more on pork meat. We opted for the $90 2 person combo which came with your choice of 3 meats. Our server helped us and recommended us to try the dry aged pork belly, pork jowl and marinated pork short rib. All of the meats were incredibly good! The pork combo also came with the fluffiest steamed egg and your choice of soup. They also gave banchan which was your typical kimchi, pickled radish, corn salad, as well as tteokbokki, pajeon, and raw marinated crab! Overall, we loved the food here. Service was amazing, our server was super attentive and helpful. He grilled all of the meats to perfection! Highly recommend coming here read more

We descended like a plague of hungry locusts here a comfortable 45 min or so before Jesus Hour was up (AKA Korean church). That gave us enough time to have the place to ourselves and order literally everything they could think to serve us. This was easily one of the best KBBQ experiences I've had. The meat cuts were all perfectly marinated and grilled, from the Dry-Aged Pork Belly, to the tender Pork Jowl, to the juicy Marinated Pork Ribs. The Budae Jjigae was savory comfort, and the Shin Ramen Fried Rice was not only abundant, but served in an adorable heart shape. Even the Kimchi Stew and Gyeran-jjim were more umami than the countless counterparts I've had elsewhere. On top of that, we got more ban chan than an attention-starved halmoni hosting her first family reunion in 10 years. Everywhere I pointed my chopsticks, I touched food. It was delightful. If I can ever gather enough people, I'd gladly infest this place again. read more

One of the best Korean bbq spots for pork. The dry aged pork and the pork jowl were amazing

I don't remember who told me this place but I had this place bookmarked for some time and I'm glad I finally got to try this place out on a Friday night. Once I entered, was seated at a table, there was no wait. The place has a rustic Korean bbq vibe to it but also has random vintage items, like an old tv and old games and some modern items like claw games. Ended up getting the pork combo for 2 ($90) and chose to get the aged pork belly, pork jowl and marinated pork short ribs. They give you a lot of banchan (side dishes) and they were good. The quality of the pork was really good as well. There was a lot of food for two people which I really appreciated. My favorite from the pork was the aged pork belly or marinated pork short ribs, all were really good tho. The servers were excellent and were on top of all my orders and cooking everything perfectly. This is my new go to pork bbq spot. Next time I come here I'm bringing my family :) I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for bbq pork belly. * Parking garage on ground floor * Good service * A lot of games for all ages read more

Holy heavenly pork. My husband and I came for our first visit tonight and thanked the social media algorithm that put this place on our radar. The restaurant is on the second floor of the building and the stairwell leading up is so quiet and eerie that we wondered if it might be closed. But as soon as we stepped inside, it was clear that good eats were ahead. The air inside was thick with the smell of smoke and barbecued meats, and every table was littered with all kinds of side dishes (which come free with meat orders). I was happily surprised by the premium side dishes, like tteokbokki, steamed egg, raw marinated crab, and choice of stew (either kimchi or fermented soybean). Before long, it was time for meat. As far as the cooking goes, this is a full service meal, with servers prepping the grill, cooking and cutting the meat, and refilling things as needed. I love the taste of Korean barbecue but I don't love smelling like it for hours later, so we definitely appreciated the retractable exhaust hoods that sucked up most of the smoke. The grill is cleverly tilted to allow most of the rendered fats to drip away, and the servers place finished meats on an offset pan to avoid overcooking. They've got meat preparation to an art form here, and the taste of that dry aged pork was outstanding. Service was fantastic throughout our meal, with servers stopping to prep, cook, or refill things on our table as we noshed our way through the meal. Few things were amiss. We had to ask for the lettuce that comes standard with meats, and we never got our cutlery. But we made out fine with the buckets of disposable cutlery At the end of the meal, my husband leaned back in his chair, patted his belly contentedly, and declared, "That was the best meal I've had in months." I couldn't agree more. read more

TLDR: Pork specialist spot in Palisades Park. Same team from the pocha down the block. Dry-aged pork belly, cheonggukjang and kkakdoogi bokkeumbap. This spot is on the second floor and love the design, it's a very retro feeling. Something about the lighting, it almost reminds me of the marbles set in Squid Game. They have some arcade machines upfront for when people wait. Some of the grills are on the round table but they have some off the side and were able to accomodate our stroller. Banchan is solid but you're here for the pork. We got the frozen thin-sliced pork belly, the dry-aged pork belly and also the brisket. The brisket is solid, especially when it gets nice and crispy. The frozen pork belly they do a nice amount of peppering across, almost reminds me of the flavor of guanciale but not cured. They have a whole bunch of dips between ssamjang, one with salted shrimp and also sesame oil. There was also this sweet soy and egg yolk sauce, kind of like sukiyaki. The dry-aged pork belly was our favorite. Personally for the extra $2, I'd just order these. They're par-cooked but finished on the grill so you get this INCREDIBLE sear around it. They also add bean sprouts, garlic chives and kimchi to finish. The outside was crispy but the inside was nice and tender plus the extra flavor from the dry-aging. The kkakdoogi fried rice was decent but I think ours might have had too much egg in it which threw off the texture. I'd still try it again though. They also have Paik's Lager which was pretty good. It's been awhile since I've gone to a place I liked this much but yes, very tasty. read more

It's themed like a retro street/arcade in here, very casual and cute. The aged pork belly is really good and they have drink specials (though they were super busy when we visited and ran out of some of their options like highballs, which was a bummer). I think I'd come again for drinks with friends here as it's a fun environment. read more

I went with one other person and had an amazing meal. We ordered the dry aged pork belly and the brisket, which were both amazing. The amount of banchan that the meal came with was outstanding, and makes it well worth the money. Ben was our server, and he was so fun and cooked all of our meat perfectly. He made the meal even more enjoyable. We also ordered the shin ramen fried rice, and the pollock roe dipping sauce. Both were delicious, and Ben packaged our fried rice to go home. Would highly recommend coming to this place! read more

Pork belly comes slightly charred, not cooked. Taste is as expected. It's supposed to be slightly wet aged but can't tell the difference. Its basically a fan blowing air inside a fridge so not sure if its reallt doing anything. Also some people do not recommend aging pork so just FYI. Gave 4 stars because sides were great. read more

Food 4/5 Value 3/5 Ambiance & Service 5/5 Newly opened kbbq spot in town! They're known for their pork kbbq here which is different from the rest and they also provide duck as an option which is new. Never tried that before so it was refreshing to try When you first walk in the interior is super cute with the floral decor, they have a photobooth when you first enter for $7 You walk up a flight of stairs and when you go in, they have a retro look and feel with the tv, signs, and overall decor They even have arcade playing station for free and some snacks for you to just take We ordered the dry aged pork, nam sang, beef brisket, and half a duck for 4 people The meat options feel limited since they primarily focus on pork. Would def suggest having more beef options too Dry aged pork 4.5/5: this was delicious esp and nicely crispy! Highly reco getting this Nam sang 4/5: this was more mediocre, nothing special but stilly juicy Beef brisket 4.5/5: juicy beef brisket and am a beef lover so more easily impressed Duck 3/5: although it's something different I don't love the duck, it also felt kind of rough and very fatty read more

We tried this place after it came up on a yelp search. Through the pics it seemed like a cool place to grab dinner and some drinks. The food was mediocre and the ambiance not what i expected. I can see what concept they were going for but it wasn't 100% there. The tables and floor were extremely greasy. Including the tablet you have to use to place your order. Did not like touching that at all. read more

because they promote aged pork and specialty pork cuts, so I had higher expectations. The interior has a retro vibe with arcade machines, which actually looks pretty fun. The banchan selection was large, but honestly one of the weakest I've had. The soy crab tasted like something pre-packaged, and one of the pancake sides was served cold. We ordered a combo with three types of pork and chose the aged option since it was the same price as regular. Each portion came out to over $30, which felt expensive. After trying both, I couldn't really tell the difference between aged and regular. The meat quality itself was fine, just no noticeable "aged" improvement in flavor or tenderness. We also ordered the ramen fried rice. It took a long time and we had to ask about it. It was served in a Shin Ramyun bucket and then poured out, and visually it looked like leftover rice mixed with over-soaked noodles. The flavor was pretty average. Overall, aside from the atmosphere, the pricing feels high for what you get and the experience was disappointing for the cost. read more

The moment you enter, you feel transported back in time in Korea. The decoration is so unique and fun. They even have arcade games you can play for free. There was a short wait, but they quickly seated us and took our order. We ordered the pork jowl and pork belly, and it comes with so many side dishes! The pork meat was fried for us to perfection and I can say, it was one of the best Korean pork BBQ places I've ever been to. Highly recommend to try to place if you are craving pork and have a good time! read more

@foodie_starry Each BBQ order comes with a grand set of sides - 15 in total! Plus, you get kimchi soup, steamed egg, and rice cakes, which alone make the trip worthwhile. The kimchi soup here is the best I've tasted in any Korean restaurant - absolutely a must-try! Here's what we had: Beef Brisket ($36) - Tender and flavorful, just perfect. Dry Aged Pork ($34) - A bit on the fatty side for me, but the staff's favorite. Roast Duck ($80) - A rare find in Korean spots, served as half a duck spread over two large plates. The lean parts were delicious, although the soup that came with it didn't hit the mark compared to traditional Peking duck soup. Bibim Makguksu ($14) - Today's star! This cold noodle dish competes closely with the free kimchi soup for the top spot with its perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Nagji Stir Fry ($22) - This spicy octopus was a bit tough, making it the least favorite. Ended up turning it into a cheesy kimchi fried rice at home which was delicious! The new restaurant boasts stylish decor and a roadside diner vibe with private booth-like seating. There's a game machine that kids will love, and they even offer free snacks from a Korean mini-market--each person gets to pick one! Note: The menu explanations could be clearer, and some staff members struggle with English, which might make communication a bit tricky. The restaurant is on the second floor with no sign downstairs, so be careful not to miss it. read more

We went on a Sunday night. It had a great 1970s Korean vibe. We were seated immediately and the service was quick once we placed our order: Dry-aged pork - my favorite. It was tender and delicious Pork jowl - chewy and great with the many sides Pork collar - good There were 18 side dishes, the egg soufflé was my favorite. The chef also made us a ramen/noodle dish (chapagetti) with pork. That was my best friend's favorite. We had a great time and the food was good. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The chef came out to check on us. We would come again! read more

Went here after always hearing Fort Lee is the spot for Korean food and it did not disappoint. The meats were fresh and well marinated, and everything came out quickly. Banchan was solid and constantly refilled, which I always appreciate. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff helped with grilling when needed. The place itself is clean and has a good vibe for both groups and casual dinners. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving Korean BBQ. read more

Great samgyupsal restaurant! I've heard good things about this spot so I went on a Friday night. There was a line so I knew its gonna be great. While you wait, you can use the arcade to keep you busy. Food was great and their service was great too. I'm definitely coming back! read more

This hot, new Korean BBQ spot is a throwback to the 1970s and 80s of South Korea! With its comfy, retro vibes you'll find all your fan favorites like pork belly, pajeon, and more. There's even a few retro arcade games for kids (or adults) to play and free snacks from a Korean mini-market - each person can pick one! + 숙성삼겹살 (dry aged pork belly) + 항정살 (pork jowl) + 차돌박이 (beef brisket) + 해물파전 (seafood pancake) + 망향 비빔국수 (spicy cold noodles) + 족발 (pig's feet) + 오삼볶음 (spicy octopus & pork belly stir fry) Ok first of all wow you get your money's worth here! Every order of BBQ comes with 15 different banchan, a stew, egg soufflé, and 떡복이 (tteokbokki)! Some of the banchan are throwbacks to 1970s and 1980s Korea like the Korean sausages my parents grew up eating. The dry aged pork belly has a nice ratio of fat to meat that's well balanced by all the banchan as well. Note: You have to walk up to the second floor of a building so it's easy to miss at first. Either street parking or pay at the parking garage next door. Follow my Instagram and TikTok @thephotographerfoodie for more! :) read more

Overall, a good experience. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but the food was a little underwhelming. There were 3 of us. We ordered chadolbaegi, dry aged samgyupsal, and moksal. We also added deulgireum makgooksoo and kkakdoogi bokkeunbap. The meat quality was ok, not great. The meat was overly fatty. I was hoping the samgyupsal would be a little more chewy. Side dishes were ok. I had reviews where diners did not get all 15 of the side dishes, so I had some trepidation going in, but we got the full spread. They all tasted good, but felt like they had been pre-arranged and left out to serve and therefore did not have the fresh taste/feel. The doenjang jjigae and duckbokkee were excellent. Especially the dduckbokkee tasted just like the ones we used to enjoy as kids in Seoul in the 80s and brought back a lot of old memories. It's hard to type of dduckbokkee anywhere in the world and went perfectly well with the retro concept of the restaurant. The makgooksoo was very good with a slight kick even though it doesn't have any hot seasoning. The bokkeumbap didn't get crispy no matter how long it was left to cook on the grill and the small chunks of pork meat in the rice made it feel drier. I would replace with spam. Service was great and friendly. Overall, we all had a great experience and price was reasonable. But, I'm not sure that I would return again given the meat quality. read more

4人用餐送了一桌各式泡菜，一份大酱汤和蛋羹，每人一份调料盘+萝卜汤（应该是用来蘸肉吃的不适合直接喝）。 Dry Aged Pork $34 全程有服务员在旁边帮忙烤，火候把握的很不错烤的刚刚好！我和姐妹很喜欢这个觉得肥瘦刚好，同行的俩男生反而觉得有点肥......如果平时喜欢吃五花肉的话还是非常推荐试一下这个。 Prok Jowl $34 怕肥的一定要试试这个猪颈肉！看起来瘦但完全不柴，烤完非常有口感，脆脆弹弹的很好吃！ Banban Jokbal $36 份量惊人的猪蹄双拼！辣和不辣的各有各的好吃，其实韩国的辣也不会很辣啦，偏甜辣。带猪皮的部位尤其好吃。 Korean Military Soup $38 刚好够四个人每人一碗，服务员小姐姐贴心帮我们盛好～碗里食材种类很多，有火腿肠、午餐肉、拉面、白菜、豆芽等。在每个韩国餐厅吃到的部队锅味道都大差不差。 Shin Ramyun Fried Rice $12 一定不能错过的辛拉面芝士紫菜蛋炒饭！在烤完肉的锅上炒香气加倍！全桌都赞不绝口～ 目测店里9成都是韩国人，周末晚上也都坐满了。全店都是八九十年代的复古风，烟火气十足～推荐推荐！ 街趴或者218 Broad Ave, Palisades Park, NJ 07650这个地址的parking lot read more

I'm so obsessed with specialty in Premium Pork BBQ Soosanghan focus on Pork Quality & Technique, dry-aged pork belly absolutely is my go-to one. Unlike typical Korean BBQ spots that serve fresh cuts, this place ages the pork belly (often ~14 days) it concentrates flavor and tenderizes the meat over time. It's juicier, richer, and more complex in taste compared with standard pork belly. A savory & flavorful seafood pancake is my must order dish in Korean Spot. BUT don't sleep on their kimchi fired rice Made with pork flavor from the grill. After premium pork is grilled, the rice cooked using the rendered pork fat, giving it a deeper, smoky richness you don't get from regular kimchi fried rice. I'm so satisfied with this authentic Korean BBQ experience with a nostalgic & vintage atmosphere that makes diners feel like they're eating back home or in a traditional Seoul BBQ joint. read more

Authentic Korean, good service friendly and assigned parking garage parking ! Reasonable prices

If you are craving pork, this should be your go-to Korean BBQ near Fort Lee! The dry-aged pork belly and pork jowl taste amazinggg. They are juicy and full of flavor, and they come with about 20 side dishes. The Shin Ramyun Fried Rice is a must try! It is fried with ramen seasoning and topped with cheese and vegetables. It also has lots of meat and costs only $12. The kimchi pancake is thick but crispy, I want to try the seafood pancake for my next visit. The only downside is that menu is hard to read because of the translations, but the food is worth it read more

THIS REVIEW IS NOT ABOUT THE FOOD. AC barely works in this place, it's hot as hell, all that heat from grilling. Especially if you have a large group, they will seat you against the wall behind the large old AC that barely works.

The service is garbage! After sitting our party, no one came to our table for 20 mins. No menu, no water, no plate set up.. nothing. When the waiter did finally come, cooked meat for short while before leaving our table once again.. when the waiter finally came back, the waiter literally put one small piece of meat and just walked away. We ended up cooking ourselves. Had to ask for the same order multiple times because they never brought food. Terrible service. Shit and lazy waiters. Do not come here. Food is mediocre at best and the worst service I've ever received. read more
