Not authentic at all, all soup base taste like made from grocery bought powder. Very disappointing considering the high reviews. If you want traditional Korean food don’t come here as they serve a mix of Japanese and Korean dishes.

The eel was raised by the restaurant and it was so fresh that it's a must try. We also ordered the army stew which was for 1-person portion. It was delicious. It's a nice one when you want to have a family style, not crowded and peaceful korean meal.

There are many Korean restaurants in the Fort Lee area and I was wondering if this restaurant was good because of fewer reviews than other restaurants nearby. There was no customers in the restaurant on Thursday around 6:30pm... but I was surprised at their food in a good way. I ordered seafood pancake and bibimbap with spicy port rice, and it came with kimchi, soup, and a few sides, which is my favorite part of Korean food! Seafood pancake was sticky enough and I enjoyed the texture as well as seafood. Good portion. I love them. Thank you, chef!

Used to be one of my favorite Korean restaurants. But now it is not. I used to order Gamjatang takeout and it used to have decent meats with bones and few potatoes. Last time I ordered there was two small bones with tiny meats and one meats chunks and two potatoes. It was basically all soups. I am very disappointed.

There is parking below. The restaurant is inside the plaza and on the second floor. I was excited to see Kimbap, but they don't have it. So don't even think about it. I considered the #25 spicy chicken soup, but they wouldn't let me add rice cakes ie kimchi to it at all. Started off with tteok bokki #14 and army stew #21 for 1 person. That's all I was able to find to eat here. $31.99. Unless you like mushy rice cake, get it with the disc rice cake then. Looks like we have to do a progressive dinners, since they have no main dish I want at all. Rather disappointing, but not surprising and given for most Korean restaurants. Not much room or interest to cater to the customer's preferences at all. The banchans: creamy pasta, kimchi, fish cake and spicy seaweed. All were underwhelming and not worth writing about. The fish cake is super bland and the seaweed is super soft and mushy and really slimy too. The kimchi is at least decent. The tteokbokki is blah and average. The rice cakes were way overcooked and soggy even. The sauce is spicy, but not special either. The army stew is basic. Flavor is okay, not very spicy though. I am looking forward to the next Korean place that I can actually get a main meal at next. It's so nice there are so many Korean food options nearby here in Fort Lee or minutes away in Palisade Park on Broad avenue. The other staffer explained to me that they use different rice cake and it's softer, that's so not true. I asked him to put the rice cakes that are in the army stew in the tteokbokki instead. He told me after addressing a carry out order that the kitchen was making our tteokbokki with the disc shaped rice cakes for me. The rice cake disc tteokbokki was chewy and tender, just the way I expect my tteokbokki to be. Sauce is the same and didn't improve much. The second staff member was more amenable and less rigid to me. Our first waiter seemed slightly less cold after asking us if the second attempt at tteokbokki was okay.

Ordered delivery and was surprisingly satisfied by the flavors! Kimchi fried rice and pork feet are very tasty with a large amount. The soup is also umami and savory! Great Korean food!

Love this place! My husband and I went back twice this weekend! The soups here are amazing! We tried the army stew, beef tripe hotpot and even the ox bone soup that comes with the bibimbap was delicious! The pork feet came with huge plate. We had to bring home the leftovers for another meal. The prices were reasonable and the service was so friendly. Oh bathroom was very clean too. Would definitely come back if we are in the area again!

One of the best Korean restaurants I've been to. Wide variety of soups. Service is great and friendly. It's on the second floor. Definitely coming back...

A restaurant located in the second floor of the shopping mall. Ordered beef tripe soup. The portion is big and taste good. The side dishes are fine and the price is reasonable. An only drawback is felt thirsty little after.

Can't believe it took me so long to find this place!Was craving Bossam and tripe stew, and this place happened to have both on its menu, so we decided to try it out. Was not hard to find it in the upstairs of the shopping mall.Portions are huge! The Bossam was extremely flavorful and faintly reminiscent of soy sauce braised pork belly in Chinese food. It came with a ton of lettuce and perilla leaves for extra refreshing, bright, mint-adjacent flavor.The tripe stew was dotted with perilla seeds and perilla leaves. It was extra umami, unctuous, and rich with iron and tripe flavors with just a sprinkle of gochugaru. On a cool fall night when I'm feeling a little under the weather, this definitely hit the spot!Will definitely come back for the snails, the beef jeungol, and the tripe stew again.Parking: Under building parking lot
Great food and wide selection. Definitely my go-to place for a solid Korean meal. Same owners as Duri Pocha, and you can get the same food here that they serve at Duri Pocha so if you want a quieter environment with BYOB and free side dishes, this fits the bill! You can't go wrong with any food items here.

Service is pretty fast although it took a while to get one of the order. I had the one of the soup and the meat didn't taste fresh. Their dumplings were good.

This is a nice homely restaurant with attentive service. I came with a friend and we ordered dumplings for appetizer. We got the mixed dumplings, which were 10 dumplings with mixed fillings and we both agreed the shrimp dumplings taste best. I got the gamjatang and my friend got the ox bone soup, and we both enjoyed our food. The gamjatang was huge and came with big chunks of pork bone meat and three big chunks of potatoes. The broth was very flavorful and rich, with a strong taste of perilla leaves and seeds that I enjoy. There was a sizeable portion of food and coupled with the constantly refilled banchan, I could not finish the gamjatang and took the rest home. This restaurant has a combination of good food and good service, and the prices are reasonable for the neighborhood. I will definitely come back to try other dishes.
