Visited on 7/5. The chicken was tasty, and the atmosphere was lively, though a bit noisy. We had a great time here on Saturday night. One small thing — there were some food scraps and bones left in the buckets from the previous table, so a quick cleanup between guests would make the experience even better.

Good food and good service. Air conditioning is inadequate. 90+ degree weather and it felt like 85 inside. No fans. Would have stayed longer, bought more drinks and food, but just way too hot. Feel bad for the workers there. Upgrade your hvac JJ DAK and i’ll be back.

Fantastic place. We took the butcher’s cut beef & truffle fries for 2 persons. Sizable portions, and everything was really delicious. Can’t wait to visit again! Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved this place! The vibe was super fun and lively — perfect for a night out with friends or family. The oven fried chicken was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every bite had the perfect crunch! They also have an amazing beer selection that pairs perfectly with the food. Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, drinks, and a good time!
I think the food was decent. They really try to make it look and taste good. Service was great, but the price is more than just Fort Lee pricing. Much more expensive than what it should be set around in my opinion.
A great Korean fusion bar in the neighborhood that's passionate about good food! I had a buddy over from Michigan who did not mind the snow, so with wife, we went to eat through snow BLIZZARD to JJ Dak Sunday evening as they were open. Inside was chic and cozy as I expected, and we were led to a rather smallish dining room on the side of first floor. Center area was for the bar. I've wanted to try JJ Dak for a while now, so we ordered up w/ pleasant server who explained the menu for us. I. ATMOSPHERE (4/5) - Great vibe! Dimly lit with thoughtful biergarten style decorations galore, it felt warm, cozy yet stylish. Good for dates & drinks with buddies. II. FOOD (4/5) Squid Fries ($14, APP, 5/5) - Hands down the best food of the visit. Fresh squid w/ full flavor in light seasoned batter with mouthwatering ponzu mayo dip. Say whaaat? Wonderful with beer. We wanted to order one more if not for entree coming! Fried Oysters ($??, APP, 3/5) - It was a special item, but unfortunately this was nothing special. Shouldn't have ordered, as it was prob to get rid of fresh oysters getting old (not on the menu). It wasn't like not fresh or anything but taste was just okay. Nuroongji Dak ($45, ENTREE, 4/5) - This famous dish didn't disappoint! They lit it on fire for a show & added flame taste, and the dish was sizzling hot. Flavor was pretty good, though some parts of chicken wasn't seasoned through. But they give you 3 dipping sauces (honey mustard was my favorite!) for that so that's OK. This dish really felt like a treasure hunt for the 3 of us as we kept poking around and finding different ingredients. I wished that there was still a unifying sauce of some kind as meat felt a bit dry at times and variety of ingredients kinda floating on their own a bit. Maybe a splash of soya-butter? Nonetheless, this was really enjoyable to eat - we loved the cauliflower and the burnt rice (which we diligently scraped off the pan) on the bottom. III. SERVICE (5/5) - Very attentive, on a Sunday evening blizzard night! Later they did get busy (it's like we brought the town here cuz adventurous and half-crazy people kept showing up in pairs through the blizzard to eat in. Was a bit funny)
I'm a fan of this place - especially for a drink w/ buddies I can't think of a more deserving place to go to in town atm than JJ Dak! I'll be back to try many other interesting menu items in the near future!
Parking: Free lot is tiny. Street parking galore but paid. Nearby mall parking (of other businesses) but they may ticket you during busy hours.

Decent food, friendly staff, and good service! The only comment I would add is that the portion to price ratio isn’t as good as other Korean spots around. $16 for 8 chicken wings and $12 for a small portion of fried tteok is not worth

Last night we had the worst dinner experience, the server was very unprofessional, we had to remind her several times about our drinks, we weren’t sure if she didn’t understand our order or she was doing it on purpose. By the time we wanted the check, my wife had to stand at the register just to find this lady scrolling and checking on her phone, not to mention she didn’t tide her hair, which I think speaking of restaurant service is super unsanitary and gross
Ambient vibes and great happy hour venue!
