“Beautiful it an amazing place and genesis is my dream car the bloom tonic was amazing all the cars are so cute the staff is amazing never had the food to expensive without knowing how it truly taste but the overall car experience is so worth checking out if u are in ny“

“Delicious food , great service , fun night !“

“Unforgettable meals and wines. Friendly smart service.“

“The samplers was fantastic, we tried none with hot sauce, all the the other sauce were sweet, yet very tasty. Crispy fries, my wife had the spicy monster chicken sandwich, and she said it was amazing. The employees were knowledgeable, they said all the chicken is halal, no halal sign, but the employee said it was. I would ask the owners to advertise it. It would be most helpful to many others looking for halal. Either way, I'd recommend this place.“

“Wow!!! Best elevated authentic Korean cuisine I had so far!
Beef tartar with gochujang was so fresh and texture was perfect.
Mushroom Tangsoo was so firm and hit sweet and sour note.
Neobiani Gui (fire grilled steak) was amazing esp with chive & onion mix.
I loved Spicy octopus stir fry with udon noodle. Side dishes that came with were all perfectly seasoned and delicious.
Price was affordable and ambience was elegant.
My brother who tried food here took me here to treat me and it was one of the best Korean food experiences I had in a while.
Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes!“

“Ondo was exceptional! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. While the layout and vibe of the restaurant are more casual than upscale, the quality of the food more than makes up for it.

Chef Brian Kim, the owner of Ondo, also created the Michelin-starred Oiji Mi in NYC—so it’s no surprise that this spot is just as impressive. Ondo offers a tasting menu that’s a more affordable yet equally delicious alternative to Oiji Mi. It’s a fantastic way to experience elevated Korean cuisine without the Michelin price tag.

Chef Brian also owns other restaurants, including Domo Domo, and Ondo is a wonderful addition to his portfolio. The restaurant is co-owned with his wife, who leads the pastry program, adding a sweet finishing touch to an already amazing meal. Definitely worth a visit!“

“I highly recommend this dining establishment for anyone seeking exceptional Korean cuisine at an affordable price. Recently, they lowered their prices to an impressive $30, making it a fantastic value for the quality of food offered. In my opinion, this is one of the best places in Staten Island for Korean dishes. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, this is definitely the place to visit“

“Totally a hidden Korean spot for their street food and mochi donuts! Limited seats so they majorly do delivery.
(The owner said they r famous for their Korean-style fried chicken, definitely visit again for that.)

?❤️‍??Donut was so chewy, soft, and flavored! I love my injeolmin flavor which was powdered soybean. Gentle taste, not too sweet. Highly recommended✨

❤️✨Original corn dog was totally delicious too. I got half mozzarella half hot dog to try both, the outside bread was chewy, crispy, melted with cheese part. Thus I preferred mozzarella part? crazy good.“

“Best Kimchi I've ever had. They have so much to choose from other than kimchi as well. Everything I've ever tried there has made me want to go back and get more. Love this place and love that they have a jar deposit as well so they are helping reduce waste.Overall excellent staff, great food, and well run business. What more could you ask for?“

“We went for the all in one box because it was easily enough for two. The honey soy flavored chicken was fresh, crispy and scrumptious. It paired well with the waffle, and the fresh pineapple and ripe tomatoes. The box comes with a heap of fries and a mozzarella stick. The milk teas are generously sized, and there are many other tasty looking permutations. The cashier offered us complimentary vegetable dumplings which had a light crispy fried skin and flavorful fillings; I only wish there were more of the dipping sauce 🤩So glad we stopped by for an impromptu date.“

“I loved the food and service here. Very delicious.“

“Located inside the food court of the HMart in Little Ferry, this establishment recently opened in March at the former site of Menya Sandaime, where I came for lunch as a first-timer. Katsune Donkatsu features different katsus (panko-breaded meats). Most of them are variants on pork, though they offered chicken and shrimp as well. Greeted by the staff, I decided on their Katsune Donkatsu (deep-fried pork accompanied by salad, pickled onions, and rice). Perfectly cooked all the way through, as all pork should be with no fat, and fried outside in definitely fresh oil to look and taste. This was home-made bread crumbs (panko) done to perfection with fresh ingredients. It was so crispy, juicy, delicious, and not greasy. I was impressed by the quality of the food. The price was very reasonable, as the order was enough for two meals. The staff was very friendly and served promptly. I can recommend this place.“

“Ordered via UberEats for a Wednesday pick-up at around 8 pm. There was a BOGO free special on boneless wings on UberEats, so we did a BOGO of the spicy soy garlic and the sweet and spicy. I thought a small order would only have 8 pieces, like wings normally would but it was massive. So essentially, our order was the equivalent of four small orders for two people but it was SO much chicken. We ordered way too much because I underestimated how big one order would be (but I’m not complaining)! We had leftovers for days so needless to say, I was sick of Korean fried chicken by the end of it. I really liked the spicy soy garlic but didn’t love the sweet and spicy. It’s really heavy on the honey, if you’re into that. The chicken comes with a side of pickled daikon cubes.

Next time, I’d like to see what the cheese snowing chicken is all about. Plus they’re other non-fried chicken dishes look pretty good and are reasonably priced as well.

Overall, it’s a good bang for your buck!!“

“Food is great. I order from here all the time and each time they have given me a complimentary side. (You guys are amazing)! I have eaten from many Korean spots but this is by far the best one. Definitely, check them out. The food is amazing and definitely worth the price. To be honest it is better than Bon Chon and I don't usually compare place but you get better dishes here with better prices.“

“Small restaurant but big flavor.

The chicken teriyaki box is a great deal served fresh with fantastic flavor and came with so many delicious sides. I also tried a couple of sushi rolls and seems like you can't go wrong with any options. I haven't had fresh cuts of fish like that anywhere else! Definitely recommend!“

“So good!!!!!!!!! Must try! My favorite place in town!“

“Ondubu was an office lunch favorite. The food was always hot, crispy, and delicious. Staff was always very accommodating and always labeled food with names -- if you've ever ordered food for a big group of people you know that is an absolute life saver! Can't wait until I'm back in Rutherford so I can eat here again.“

“I love this place. It's my go to AYCE KBBQ. The food is delicious, the meats are fresh, and the staff are always friendly. The brisket, garlic cube steak, and cast iron steak are my favorite things to get. It's definitely worth indulging in.“

“Fantastic, such a convenient place with great late night hours!“

“Crunchy and delicious wings. I will be back again!“

“If you’re looking for incredible food, warm hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere, look no further than Roll House Dragon . This local favorite is truly a gem, and my recent visit reminded me why small-town restaurants often have the biggest heart.

The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each crafted with care and packed with flavor. I started with the Dumplings , which was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to kick off the meal. For the main course, I opted for the chicken teriyaki bowl the flavors were absolutely divine, and the portion size was generous without being overwhelming.

What really stood out to me was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. You can tell they take pride in creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels at home.“

“Was going thru Grubhub for wings and came across this place. I said how bad can it be. Wow I was surprised and disappointed. Disappointed that they didn’t have popcorn chicken but substituted for wings. They were amazing .not greasy at all. Very impressed. Will definitely go again. Tried the potato dog as well … very interesting, very good…“

“I’ve been to multiple BBQ Chicken restaurants and this one is THE BEST. Quality is so fresh, the restaurant is so clean and the fried chicken always hits the spot. The chicken is always so crispy and juicy every single time I get it. I also really recommend their rosé spicy rice cake!“

“It was soo amazing for my first time! The chicken was so crunchy and warm with the perfect amount of flavor. And the Tteobokki was also really good. I enjoyed itt. The employee was very kind and heart warming, like ur welcomed to the place. U get more than what u expect for the price, def worth it. Not to mention the foods are decorated so nicely and appetizing?“

“The chicken is really good! The honey garlic sauce is perfectly sweet and garlicky and the plain chicken is seasoned very well. The skin has an aesthetic crunch and isn't soggy on the plain but the sauce does make the skin on the honey garlic chickens a bit soggy. I ordered a whole chicken and the chicken breasts were quite dry but the drums were perfect and juice was spilling out when I took a bite. I would give the place a 5 if it weren't for the dryness of the chicken and sogginess. Overall the chicken is extremely good compared to other chicken joints and I would still give this place a try.“

“I was passing through New Jersey on my way back to queens and wanted something quick and filling to grab on the drive. This is a well known Korean chicken spot where there’s a lot of restaurants back where I live in ny. I was looking through their menu and saw they had a lot of other dishes aside from only chicken so I decided to try their k-toowoomba grilled chicken pasta and it was sooooo good I wish I got a second one to save for later!!!?and I also got buldak chicken and it also sooo good too. When I went to pick up my order the workers were super nice and friendly and it was just a great pit spot. I would definitely come back to try more of their other menus. So basically overall my experience here is superb cause my tummy was full and happy!!“

“A lovely restaurant serving goat meat!The ladies that run this restaurant are very friendly. We ordered seafood pancake, braised belt fish, and small black goat stew. All 3 are unforgettable and pleasantly surprising.The black goat soup has a very unique combination of spices and the goat is not tamy at all! It comes with a side of chili paste and gochujang.Braised belt fish has a generous portion and looks spicier than it tastes. I wish it could be spicier though :pThe pancake is huge although it costs over $20. It's very crispy and looks like the dough was deep fried - definitely a cheat meal for us!Would come in again for their steamed goat which is their signature.No reservation needed. Plenty of parking in the lot behind the restaurant“

“Yeahh…! Korean it is, ? It was difficult to find, to cut to the chase, let me give you the best directions, enter the oculus from the h&m side and take the elevator to go to the underground, or search for gansevoort market, ? see the images from below, Some place to have a quick meal, the food was good for a quick meal on a busy day, we had korean soft tofu ? , it was good and fresh, it has a big dining area in the back, we initially thought we had to stand and eat but there was a good amount of place to sit and dine.“

“This place is so good! I’m more of tender / sandwich person so can’t speak to the wings but I got dinner there one night and came back soon after… definitely adding to my rotation. I think it’s made fresh to order because takes a bit of time to prep - the quality is very good and chicken is super tasty.“

“Delicious Hot Pot and/or Korean BBQ!“

“Sushi Koshi is my absolute favorite sushi spot! The food is always amazing fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I find myself coming back all the time. The staff are super friendly, and the owner is wonderful too. We had such an amazing experience.“

“By far one of the best Korean Japanese restaurants. I’ve been ordering from Sea Shai since 2021/22 & the consistency of the food and customer service is always amazing! The flavor of the food is spectacular. I travel to Sea Shai to pick up my order because it is several neighborhoods away, totally worth the drive. The food is priced fairly for the portion and flavors you are receiving. Highly recommend trying this restaurant out. I cannot get enough of the Bulgogi with white rice platter, A M A Z I N G!

Kid-friendliness: Friendly environment, has big tables available for families who want to dine in.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, no issues getting in or out the restaurant“

“Gogi Grill is delicious and the service is amazing! I eat here once a week after the gym and it is always really good. It is one of the healthier places open later near the station and the staff is very kind and welcoming (even when I show up a bit close to closing). Highly recommend if in the area“

“My review is based on the one dish I tried which was #17 Ojinguh Dolsotbap. My first bite was the edge of the fried egg. It was delightfully crispy and infused with plenty of wok hei ❤️. The squid was tender and fresh, not overly chewy. The dish overall was packed with flavor and the spiciness was just right. U chun surpassed my expectations for a small stall inside of H-mart.“

“Amazing food. Huge Portions. Excellent service. My only complaint is that I live 4 hours away. 😭“

“Can’t believe I haven’t tried their new spot before but this location is def the new and improved bunsik nara! This spot is so spacious, high ceilings, modern looking too

Would most likely come here for the street food tho cuz you can get the others at other places for wayyy better

Here’s what we got:
- combo E with the galbi and side of tofu soup 3.5/5: the price to portion ratio was a little disappointing because it looks similar to the BCD combo but for less and taste 100% better from galbi to tofu soup

- combo C with the fried chicken that comes with the side of cream spaghetti and fried rice 5/5: hands down reco getting this!! The chicken was tender and the portion was soooo generous

- gamjatang 2/5: so we asked the waitress what she would reco, either the gamjatang or kimchi fried rice and she said this over that so we decided to try it since it’s on the limited time menu and the portion size is indeed very generous but the soup was very disappointing, the broth was also mediocre. For Gamjatang we love “to sokchon” or “busan gukbap”

- tuna kimbap 3/5: portion size was amazing for this but not a big fan of the tuna and could be more spicy

We would come back to try the other street food items like the jjambong and fried rice tho!“

“We enjoyed every bite!! The spicy wings were 10/10. Not very spicy but a fantastic flavor. The japche with pork was delicious. And the gimbop with spicy tuna was great. It wasn’t crowded and it was affordable compared to these crazy prices nowadays. This was a WIN 👏“

“Such a great and unique food spot! Order a couple different dogs and a side. All were top notch and the staff was super friendly!“

“Sang's kitchen offers dine in meal and to-go bento boxes. They also have bottle drinks. I usually get takoyaki and bulgogi rice bento. Love the flavorful and the portion. Great for next day lunch.

It's located inside food court so many tables and places to sit. It gets crowded during lunch time.

The staff is always nice and friendly. Quick line to pay and out on the way.“

“Supermarket, lunches, and very delicious dinners. Every day we shopped there. Quality/price very good. The staff was very nice, they realized that we were Spanish and they directly spoke to us in Spanish.
In the premises itself there are tables and chairs to eat, it is on the upper floor.
Open practically 24 hours a day.“

“Inside the Hackensack Hmart is a food court. And inside that food court is this humble little food stall, where I go whenever the craving for a bowl of Korean black bean noodles hits. Jjajangmyun is a popular Korean-Chinese dish made from black bean paste, meat, and diced vegetables. When I'm suddenly fixin' for that slurpy bowl of saucy noodles, this is where I come.

Why? Because it's close to my commute, it's quick and casual, reasonably priced, and consistently good. As an added bonus, there are lots of other offerings in the food court in case my eating mate didn't want to eat the same thing.

Ordering is simple. Go to the counter, place your order, and they'll give you a receipt with a number. If you find seats nearby, there's a little screen at the stall that tells you when your order is ready for pickup. If you end up sitting far away, don't fret. There's an automated loudspeaker that clearly calls out stalls and ready order numbers.

My go-to order here is (of course) the jjajangyun. The menu offers a small variety - regular (with meat and veggies), uni, and spicy. Spice lovers, you're going to love the spicy jjajangmyun (#4 on the menu). The jjajang sauce is also delicious on rice, and I've loved the shrimp fried rice with it.

Serving sizes are decent, and it comes with the tiniest cup of yellow pickled radishes (a standard condiment for this dish).“

“The lady at the front desk now is super pretty and nice, and has a great attitude. The drinks made by the tea making lady are also delicious every time.
However, there is a strong smell of cigarette smoke every time I come here. The smell of smoke wafts in after the staff smokes, and it lingers for a long time, which is very unfriendly to pregnant women and children.“

“My husband and I stopped in on our way to an event in the area based on reviews. It's a very small place with no indoor seating. However the service was friendly and quick and the chicken bao was very good. If we are ever back in the area, I would try more items from their menu.“

“Today I have a lunch in restaurant.
I placed an order of chicken wing with soy sauce based. Its taste is fantastic, little soy sauce burned smell and salty and sweet. It makes harmony. Asiantic small from burned soy sauced and crunchy skin, salty and sweet meat.
It is art.
But Room has no air conditioner.“

“I have come to Itto’s for years. I love their sushi. I have never have a negative experience here. Andy did a great job tonight and was very friendly. I’m a sucker for the fried rolls and have never seen the coconut shrimp rolls in other places. I love their Groupons and specials.“

“Very surprised so much negative comments, because the hambient is good, the people who attempt are always different and I have been all pleasant, the super food I love, the place is not so modern but it is super I recommend it. [Original] Muy sorprendida tanto comentarios negativos, porque el hambiente es bueno, las personas que atienen siempre son diferentes y me an salido todos agradables, la comida super me encanta, el lugar no es tan moderno pero es super yo lo recomiendo.“

“I am from out of town and have made it a tradition to get the Bimbim Bowl the day I fly in. It’s packed with veggies, flavor, and I always add a little extra protein. It tastes so good and doesn’t feel greasy like other places. The restaurant is cute with fun games and the people are friendly.“

“5 stars Was there in 2013. It was the best Chinese food I ever had in my life. And it was beautiful, comfortable... It's permanently closed now. 😞“

“Wondered in here looking for some bubble tea and was blown away by a sample of their Korean fried chicken... ended up having to get some to go! Adrian is the man! He guided us through the menu and ended up creating new fans of the restaurant!“
