Kim Ga Meon Ok Fort Lee

Came here with high hopes after hearing great things about the tonkatsu, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype.

The cutlet tasted more like a pre-made frozen patty, and the sauce was underwhelming (almost had a kind of sour taste to it). If you’re craving a solid tonkatsu, I’d recommend checking out Katsune nearby instead. That said, the naengmyeon and hot stone bibimbap were both decent choices for a casual Korean meal.

요약: 돈까스 맛없음. 다른 음식은 간단히 먹기 괜찮음.

I normally don’t write reviews about businesses on Google unless I am exceptionally impressed with their service, because even though my review may have minimal impact, it can still affect a business when others read it.

However, I’ve decided to write this one because I’m still confused about how the cashier (female) treated me and my family regarding seating.
As we all know, this restaurant is self-service, meaning we find our table, order food with the cashier, and pick up our food from the kitchen (more accurately, from the island right outside the kitchen.)

There were two elderly ladies ordering food ahead of me, and I was there with my family, ready to order after them.
There was one table left with some high chairs by the windows, so I told my family to go get the table while I ordered the food.
As soon as the cashier overheard me, she stopped my family and said we couldn’t get the table because the two elderly ladies were ahead of us.
I was confused and started to feel upset because this restaurant is self-service, not a place where we wait to be seated.

She must have wanted to give the only available table to the elderly ladies since the windows are warm, and the restaurant’s poor AC made it even warmer near the windows.
If that was her intention, she could have simply asked me if I was okay with giving the table to the elderly ladies first because they were elderly.
If she had asked, I would have said yes because I have an elderly mother, too.

But unfortunately, the cashier just stopped us and we ended up waiting for about 5 minutes.
Honestly, I wanted to walk right out, as it put me in the mood to leave even though my family was craving 냉면.

We ate in this restaurant a week ago during dinner time when there were a few tables left, and we just went straight to a table we found and ordered from the table using the app.
Stopping me from the table that we had spotted and the fact that she overheard me telling my family to sit there felt just absurd and unnecessary since this is a self-service restaurant.

To be honest, the food wasn’t good, either.
The noodles in my 냉면 were all clumped together, and I ended up leaving a third of it because they were stuck together like little balls.

If there are any restrictions, such as not being allowed to take a table before ordering food, please post them visibly instead of stopping your customers when they are about to sit down.

This was definitely a negative experience that ruined my afternoon.

This place is a gem…the best neng myun - better than some I’ve had in Korea. And their ribs rock too. They give you hot broth with the cold noodles too. And it tastes legit. Don’t go to the place in front of Kings spa thinking it’s a chain. I made that mistake and the food is entirely different. The dining room stops taking orders at 8:40 because they close at 9.

A great pork cutlet and cold noodle restaurant!!!

I submitted it from the thread.
It's really, really delicious~
It's going to be a hit~~

Remarkable food and service from beginning to end. You would need to order your food before seating, like a food court style. We ordered Sulungtang and Dogahnitang and they were legit. You know the broth is authentic when it's starchy and syrupy. The seafood pancake is the best one I had. I strongly recommend this place

I had pig's feet with seolleongtang and bone hangover soup, and it was delicious and cheap. The owner was very kind and gave me some sundae to try. It tasted just like the one I had in Korea. I definitely want to come next time.

My friend and I ordered the Jok Bal (Pig Feet) and ground soybean stew off of the Special Menu. Food came out fast and was hot. The portions were impressive and more importantly the flavors were on point! The tender slices of the Jok Bal come with two different dipping sauces, jalapeños, garlic, and napa cabbage to use as wraps. The ground soybean stew was also filling and tasty. I will be back soon to try some of the other menu items.

There was no smell of pig's feet, and they were soft and delicious.
The bean curd stew was so delicious that I was so busy eating it that I couldn't take a picture, but I ate every last bit of it??
It's nice to have a good restaurant in Fort Lee???

Updating review* Great place with kiosk style eating so no tip and free ice cream! I've now tried half the menu. Amazing food with lots of options. The soups are excellent and very flavorful with plenty of veggies and meat. Best noodles, consistently great. I appreciate the rotating specials, my favorite is the soondae now, obviously homemade and so good! I have a hard time choosing as the galbi is my favorite all time, best I've had. Don katsu is a great too, very hard to choose. Wish I could come everyday!

A decent spot for a quick lunch. You order at the counter and pick up your food when your number is called—no tip required. The food is good, but not particularly memorable.

Portree Kim Ga Myeonok has a new menu~

Come try homemade pig’s feet and sundae

Beef soup is great value for money! Galbitang is better than cold noodles. Kimchi is great!! The disappointing thing is that the store is hot. The hot broth that you can drink with cold noodles is very bland. The hot broth at Palpak branch or here is too disappointing. The broth is like bland water. The pork cutlet is also delicious. It's a shame that there is less rice.
