    All the food here was phenomenal and I would highly recommend this AYCE Korean BBQ place. The highlights for me were the pork jowl and beef brisket but you can't go wrong with any of the meat selections and at $39.99 per person for dinner? We found it really affordable for what you get!

    Was seated right away in a Saturday night without reservations. The meats are well marinated; no complaints for an AYCE place. Loaded up on marinated short ribs and pork belly. We tried the Meat Bros Roll, not very good, rice tasted strange; didn't try any other rolls after that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is comfortable,l and spacious[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Nice variety of soju.

    Mediocre kbbq spot but since it's AYCE you can't expect too much on quality. It's plenty of options from your meats to sushi selection. Meats were pretty marinated! They also prevent you from ordering too much at once so you don't over order but I kinda wish they didn't do that because I like to order to try everything at least once in the beginning. If it's not too busy, they're pretty attentive to change your grills and things like that. I think highlight for me was probably the hanger steak and brisket

    Isnt it just great when you have a positive experience dining out? Thursday night dinner at The Meat Bros was a good call. Service was prompt when we went and what I love about the place, aside from the food, were the pleasant interactions we had from staff. Not just a particular staff but every single one we encountered from the moment we stepped in until we finished. We didnt have to keep flagging them at all since they are all attentive and were usually the ones to ask if we need more food. Smiles were given, not just to us, but the other customers as well, it was great! The food was definitely enjoyable and all the meats we ordered were delicious and of good quality. The Pork belly and Kalbi were our favorites. The Kimchi fried rice was surprisingly good as well as the sushi. Im glad we only ordered one sushi as it was filling and so we still got to enjoy our meats. Next time il be sure to remember to try their egg bomb!

    I had a party of 10 (2kids) a belated birthday celebration just to be with my loved ones. The appetizers with kimchi and a couple more. But, my party didn't mind at all eating them. The marinated ribs and the calamari were mostly ordered. The rest: bulgogi, beef and pork slices didn't match our expectations as they all lacked in flavor. They weren't even seasoned or if they were, so bland that when you grill them, you need to dip them in a sauce to be able eat it . I am not inspired to give more details of the foods because we didn't enjoy them. You need to have those drinks to feel full. Otherwise, you will still crave for some dishes that will captivate your taste buds and yearn for more. The service was good and the ambience is spacious but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the foods were mediocre[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. A bill of $500 is a waste, not enjoying it at all. It's not worth coming back again.

    This was actually my first time having KBBQ lol and it was a great time!! We went for all-you-can-eat lunch, which is the same hefty price as all-you-can-eat dinner ($39.99 per person). It's a lot, but can be worth it if you order and eat a lot. There's also a 2-hour time limit, which is reasonable and we didn't feel rushed at all. Leftovers are charged $15/plate. The service was good-- the servers came frequently to take our orders inbetween each round, changed the grill plates every time we ordered a new round, and brought our orders out quickly. When seated, the tables are prepped with a plate of kimchi and other pickled veggies and 2 bowls of spring onions and salad. Each person gets a bowl of rice too. The menu, which you can order anything off of, ranges from marinated meats, to raw meats, to small cooked dishes (i.e. korean fried chicken and kimchi stew), to sushi rolls. With the exception of a few which were good, many of the cooked dishes were mediocre. However, the meats were amazing: high-quality, well-cut, fresh, and well-marinated. Cooking the meats on the grill plates was a fun and enjoyable experience. We ordered the following BBQ items (** = especially recommend): Spicy Pork Bulgogi**, Beef Bulgogi**, Meat Bros Steak**, LA Galbi**, Spicy Chicken, Pork Belly, BBQ Pork Rib, Beef Finger Galbi, Hanging Tender Steak, Spicy Squid, Spicy Baby Octopus, Head On Shrimp, Mushroom/Vegetable. We ordered the following cooked dishes / sushi rolls (** = recommend) - Kimchi Stew**: really excellent flavor, fragrant and soul-warming; a little spicy. - Meat Bros Roll**: this was a solid roll, the fish was fresh and had a good combo of ingredients and flavors. - JeongYook Roll: this was pretty good. by this time I was so full though I could barely register the taste. - Egg Bomb (Steamed Egg): very overcooked. - Fried Calamari: was okay, too salty. - Korean Fried Chicken: very crispy, but way too salty and a bit overcooked. - Jap Chae Fried Rice: wasn't very special/memorable, but pretty flavorful. Overall, prioritize the meats first, and only order some of the other cooked dishes and sushi rolls if you still have stomach for them afterwards.

    Heads on shrimps are so good!
    Irene C.

    It's probably one of the best AYCE Korean BBQ in the area! The menu has abundant options on the meats. We tried several different meats on the items and honestly I like every single one. I especially enjoy the head on shrimps and we reordered several times because we just couldn't stop eating them. The shrimps are unbelievably fresh and the shrimp meat is so bouncy and sweet. Unlike most Korean BBQ places that cook meats for you, you will cook your own meats here, but I don't think this is a bad thing. I enjoy cooking the meats as I could pace myself. I took 1 star off as the beers are slightly pricey IMO and the staffs are a bit cold ( but they did get all of our orders right and constantly check in to see if we need to reorder, so no complains on the service. ) Overall, I do like this place and will return if I am craving for Korean BBQ.

    There is a parking lot in the complex so you don't have to worry about street parking. It is good All You Can Eat KBBQ for a decent price. There is a time limit but I felt the workers were accommodating if you go over. I highly recommend getting the beef brisket and kalbi. The meat is tender and will be worth what you pay for. It is not a BYOB, they do serve alcohol. Soju is a must if you haven't tried.

    We were waiting for food over 15-20 minutes after they changed the grill. Please just take out all- you- can -eat or increase the price.

    I feel like I owe them another review since the waiter came to apologize for the inconvenience and didn't want to take our payment. The manager wouldn't take our payment when we tried to pay again. They apologized and it seemed like a honest mistake. I guess I would give it a try again since the food was good.

    I enjoyed our meal at The Meat Bros! This is an all you can eat. We went on a Saturday night about 7:30. Food was tasty and service was very good. Servers were attentive and replenished food as requested while also quickly clearing empty dishes from our table. You cook your own food.

    Banchan @soustenance
    Sherry J.

    - $35.99 AYCE - They don't cook the meat for you - They set up the table before you sit down, which I really liked - Good selection of banchan but they don't provide lettuce wraps - The portion sizes are not overwhelming so it gives you the chance to order a variety of meats instead of just two-three types - The mango sake slush was really good! But melts quickly so you need to drink it fast - I recommend the marinated pork rib, cross cut bone in beef rib, and miso marinated pork belly - We didn't order other soup/veggie dishes so we could enjoy the meat - Rice is ordered separately

    Beef, pork, chicken, oh MY!
    Michael C.

    Come here if you are hungry. Run here is you are starving. If you've been to these types of restaurants, you know what to expect: lots of meat and not much else. Came here on a Friday and it was packed. However, we were still seated quickly. Ended up eating for about an hour with a few coworkers so the bill ended up being pretty big but still below $50 per person. The waiter keeps the grill clean through orders and the meat keeps coming. One drawback is somewhat limited beer selection. Overall, still a place to visit if you are in the area and not a vegan.

    Bulgogi, galbi, teriyaki chicken
    Pam Y.

    I have to agree with another updated review that said the meat quality has gone downhill, it's not as tasty as it used to be. The bulgogi is clumpy and lump instead of a nice thin even texture. They did add a bigger variety of sides-sushi, lettuce for wraps, fried rice, etc. But they still do not have any fruits or desserts like most AYCE places. Service was decent, we went at a slow time and even when we left at peak weekend lunch time it didn't seem to get too busy

    Is lunch still 16.99?

    For AYCE lunch, it's $39.99 per person

    Are they still doing lunch?

    I went there around 3pm this weekend to dine in. No salad bar, maybe you can ask and they'll bring it to your table but that kinda takes away the experience. No more free… 

    Is this business still open?

    Yes, it is. I believe it is still temporarily closed though.

    Any update on the menu for March 2020 ? I hear there is some increase in price .... Would like to know weekday lunch price, please?

    What time is the lunch special in weekdays?

    Weekdays

    What is the price per person?

    A course is $29.99 B course is $35.99

    Is this a BYOB place b/c I see the bar area in the pics? Please let me know?

    They serve beer, soju and maybe wine.

    Anyone knows the phone number for this place?

    I'll be going with a group of meat eaters, but I am vegan. Do you have any vegan/vegetable options?

    The place is meat heaven, but not exactly the same for vegans. They do have a self-served buffet station menu that rotates daily or weekly and a few there are vegan. But if you do go with a group that eats meat, you will also be charged for meat for…

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!

This time around, it's a stronger 5 out of 5 because of our waiter was amazing. Ugh, I can't remember his name. He was on top of everything and making sure our food was grilled in a timely manner. He was quick to follow up with orders/requests that didn't come through when the kitchen didn't bring them out. Usually my gripe or disclaimer I give to people is that Wooga is great at everything except wrapping up things on the end. In the past, whenever I went, it would take forever (!!!!!) to get our check and pay. It was so frustrating but this time around, it was a bit faster. It's a win-win situation because we get to pay and leave and the restaurant has another table for customers. Though on the pricier side, Wooga does check off all the boxes of: -amazing meat quality -amazing & attentive service -they don't skimp on banchans (side dishes that I heard other restaurants are starting to limit) -several meat combo options -best Korean steamed egg in the North Jersey area We tried the thinly sliced oxtails, which were really good but pretty pricey for $38cash/$39.90card for 11oz of it. There are some things that are inconvenient (long waits, very small parking lot) but it's easy to overlook them once you have a meal at Wooga. Things to know before you go: -Their menu is updated on their website if you want to check that out before you go. -The earlier you go, the better your chance of being seated quickly. Weekends are definitely a longer wait, so plan ahead. -Their parking lot is small so it fills up super quickly, so you'll have to park across the street and play Frogger (maybe you might be too young to know this reference?) to cross the 4 lanes of Palisade Ave. -When you arrive, make sure to check in with the host/hostess so that you could get a pager to know when your table is ready. Your turn can come pretty fast sometimes depending on the timing.

When I walked in, the place was empty but it took a bit to get a table that they immediately starting putting things on, but the table was dirty, so I had to ask them to clean it. And then, the menu is only in Chinese and Korean, no English. And the only way you could access the menu is through the tablet secured to the table. We thought the QR code on the tablet was for the menu but it was for something else, so it was kind of hard to see what to order as a group. The menu did have similar things you would find in other skewer places, but nothing really seemed appealing.

We ordered the lamb skewers, pig skin, and stir-fried squid -- all of which were delicious.

I also really enjoyed the cucumber scallion salad served as a side -- super refreshing and pair well with the meat. The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. The owner is friendly, and the overall vibe is very relaxed. They also serve beer and soju, which is a nice touch. The only thing keeping this from being a 5-star review is the seasoning on the skewers -- I felt it could have used a bit more flavor. Also, while the electric grilling machine is convenient, it doesn't quite deliver that smoky taste you'd get from charcoal. That said, everything we tried was delicious, and I would definitely come back. Highly recommended for a flavorful and satisfying meal!
