Let me start by saying we loved the food here last night. It was great quality, and the staff was…read moreincredibly welcoming. They were super encouraging with me using chopsticks as a novice and spent time showing me tips/tricks and also bringing me another set that was supposed to be easier. They also cooked all of our food so that was also welcome! We ordered the combo A, and the udon noodles. They also gave us glass noodles on the house along with all the Banchan. I loved the pickled peppers especially but everything was fresh, and really added to the experience. We loved the udon noodles to say the least and we did our best to finish our meal. The only thing that could've been improved was once the staff was done cooking the food they didn't let us know really. They might have been trying not to interrupt us but after the first course, they never indicated to us that the food was ready for us. They walked away like they usually did while waiting. We also had some uncooked meat remaining at the end of our meal that we weren't sure why they left out table side the entire time. It felt like a waste especially since we had done very well with the food and finished most of our kbbq - we left the noodles for a weekday lunch primarily.

A group of 7 hungry adults ate early dinner on Sunday…read more Overall, Kalbi serves up great K-bbq with attentive tableside cooking service. That said, some of their dishes were not as fresh or well-prepared, their smoke vent was not working well, and they could maintain the premises better. I. ATMOSPHERE (3/5) - Inside is spacious and overall comfortable seating with nice dim vibe that isn't too dark. Aside from the main dining area is a bit off because you can kind of see some random food prep areas. They could use some better upkeep so that the entire space is a bit more inviting because for example, mens' bathroom had stuff broken and just overall dingy. II. FOOD (4/5) a. BANCHAN (3/5) - They brought out generous spread of banchans and they were mostly good - mashed potato salad was a crowd favorite, and cucumber moochim and egg souffle was great too. That said, other dishes felt more like an afterthought. b. MAIN (4/5) - We ordered combo C & E and there were plenty of food to go around. Our favorites were the Snowflake prime rib, and the Prime Short Rib - they were full of beefy flavors and great bite. I also enjoyed the brisket dipped into their sauce. They also bring decent amount of veggies to grill, which was enjoyable. I was disappointed that they did not provide a foil cup to grill garlic and pepper. But the biggest letdown was the marinated kalbi. Immediately upon eating it, I noticed that the meat's texture was as if it was breaking apart, and way too overseasoned. It was basically not fresh - it was clear to me that this meat sat in the marinade for too long because meat texture was breaking apart, and way too sweet as a result to the point where we had to eat the red leaf lettuce and rice just to lower the sweetness in our mouths. Were they just not paying attention? This was pretty unforgivable for a K-bbq, and normally I would immediately ask them to take it back, except all the other meat was good and I did not want to make a stink. Almost no one ate the marinated after the first bite. c. OTHER (3/5) - We had ordered cold noodle and acorn noodle to split, but curiously they brought these after like the first meat was grilled(?) Usually you finish off with cold noodle at the end after the bbq. We thought it was odd. Also, the cold noodle was quite mediocre. They had given us free service of bibim mak gook soo which was tasty as an appetizer, so this was disappointing. My acorn bibim gooksoo was... well, OK. A bit on the sweet side. III. SERVICE (4/5) - Meat grillers were great and quick. But something was wrong with their smoke suction vent because the place was filled with smoke. Next table had their stuff burning on the grill and air wasn't circulating. Never experienced such vent malfunction before so it detracted from our experience a little bit. Overall, I left not too impressed. My first visit in 2025 was definitely better, and since then it just looked like things were not properly maintained. Also, at least few people in our party had either an allergic rash early on, or stomach trouble after eating. There's a lot to like about the Kalbi, but I was not impressed. I might give them another chance in the future if they can improve what I pointed out.

We ordered the Beef + Pork + Cold Noodles combo, which came with Prime Beef Loin, Pork Belly, Wagyu…read moreBrisket, Pork Jowl, and cold noodles. What I liked most was that the combo actually included popular cuts instead of mixing one good item with filler meats. The charcoal grill made a huge difference. You could really smell the smokiness once the fat started dripping onto the charcoal, and it gave the meat a much deeper flavor compared to regular gas grills. The meat quality was solid overall, especially the beef loin and pork belly. Portions were also surprisingly large -- we ended up taking leftovers home. Another detail I appreciated was that they changed the grill plate after different meats

4.2 / 5.0 A Korean restaurant in Koreatown, NJ…read more It must be a popular restaurant, as it fills up in the evening. It's great that they grill the meat right in front of you and serve it to you in the Korean style. They also serve a lot of appetizers like kimchi, which are great when you wrap them up with the meat!! I also like that they change the net immediately without me having to ask. 　 It's a great value for money restaurant and one I'd like to visit again. The restaurant is very spacious and has sofa seats, so it's great for families! It's a good place to come and eat yakiniku, as you can enjoy a variety of dishes.

Since our first visit to Gopchang KBBQ, it has become one of our favorite restaurants and a regular…read moreplace for us to enjoy great Korean BBQ. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared, and the service is always exceptional. One of the things we appreciate most is the warm hospitality. The staff genuinely cares about their guests and goes the extra mile to make every visit enjoyable. We recently celebrated our anniversary there, and our usual server made the evening unforgettable with sparklers, a complimentary cake, and a special anniversary greeting written in chocolate syrup. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made us feel truly valued. Another feature we love is the availability of private dining rooms, which provide a comfortable and intimate setting for celebrations, family gatherings, or simply enjoying a meal away from the bustle of the main dining area. Parking can be a little limited behind the restaurant, but there's a nearby municipal parking lot just a short walk away, making it easy to find a space if the rear lot is full. Great food, outstanding service, thoughtful personal touches, and the option of private dining rooms make Gopchang KBBQ a restaurant we happily recommend. We always look forward to our next visit.

It was my…read morefirst visit with my family, and we were welcomed in an usher to a special section towards the back with pre-determined menu to choose from. 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!

You can join the waitlist online or you can get on the list with the host. We all had their regular naengmyeon and shared an order of suyeok. This was really good, very tender. They also had a lot of banchan, including a green onion pancake, tteokbokki, and japchae. I really enjoyed this selection of banchan. The naengmyeon was really good and honestly, really hit the spot.

In hindsight, we should've just gone to Palisades Park and had better Korean from nicer people. The Banchan starters were fine. My Shiregi Sujebi, on the other hand, was a letdown of bland broth and not handmade noodz. Booooo! I love sujebi, and it's so hard to find it even in Korean enclaves--so the fact that it was subpar here made me cry tears of gluten sadness. We also shared the Galbi Jjim for Two, which included Hooshik Naengmyeon (spicy mini cold noodles) and Bokkeumbab (fried rice). Here's where the real trouble started. They didn't bring this out until I was halfway through my Sujebi. After flagging multiple staff hurrying frantically to and fro across the fully packed restaurant, we finally got an answer: They forgot our order. So it was that we ended up digging into the largest portion of our meal nearly an hour after being seated. By that time, the meat was a bit cold and had that stale texture that usually comes when something that was meant to be served fresh has been, you know, sitting on a counter collecting dust. The worst part was, we never really got an apology, and when our bill came, there was no offer to compensate us in any way. We thought about being Karens, but decided the best thing to do would be to pay and never come back. Oh, and for me to write this review. That too.

The banchan (side dishes) were good as well, and even though we didn't order one of the beef and pork combos, we still received soup and Korean steamed eggs. Korea may have lost, but the friends I was with made up for it.

I'm personally no expert in Korean restaurants, but I'm usually around folks that are, and this is a solid to above average place based on my experience and their opinions having gotten a variety of dishes (Pajun Uguji Tang, Galbi Stone Pot Rice). Our banchan also was delicious. They even had the spicy squid here, which I hear and personally have experienced to be pretty uncommon due to its niceness, so that elevated my opinion of this place already that they not only served it, but also refilled it for us when asked! I personally got the Haemul Soondubu, and it came out hot and deeply satisfying. Flavors were on point, and service was pretty quick. Overall, the feel here is pretty homey, flavors are on point. My only knock if anything is that the prices are bit high for my liking and what I ordered, but I think it's got to be this way to survive this close to the city.
