Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Leonia, NJ

“We were driving from Baltimore to Richmond and specifically stopped to check out Honey Pig's new location. Wow what a great restaurant! Smells amazing when you walk in the door and the servers are beyond professional, friendly, and helpful. We ordered the bibimbap because we weren't quite hungry enough for AYCE. The BBQ at the table around us looked great though and next time would have planned to be hungrier for AYCE. Great food with good size portions. Wish we lived closer so we could go again and again but we will look forward to the next time we are nearby!“

“The best Korean barbique at Korea town 😍 💖“

“Absolutely amazing food and service. Went here with little notice and walked in to Korean BBQ heaven. Brilliant food cooked in front of you, with unimpeachable service. Kinda funky decor with a good and cheerful crowd of a range of ages. Really enjoyed it, will be a go to spot again.“

“I enjoyed the BBQ here. Our server is super friendly. Haven't eaten BBQ in a while so we all crave for it and it's a perfect time to take my son's gf who visited us here in NY. Definitely recommend this restaurant. We all enjoyed it. Cheers 🥂🍾🥓🥩“

“very enjoyable meal today at lunchtime. thr staff were amazing helping us pick and choose. service a+“

“so fresh. highly recommend everything on the menu is so good“

“My fiance and I came here the other day. The food was incredible, it was our first time trying KBBQ and we had such a great experience! The service was great all the staff was super nice (our waiter Joseph was super kind!) the power went out due to a snow storm mid meal & we still felt well taken care of (plenty of candles and servers around). I would recommend trying this place!!:) The hanger steak & marinated short rib were out favorites !“

“Well known kbbq spot near ktown offering pricey, but delicious marinated meats, casseroles and more. Started with half a dozen banchan, there is a variety of meat set options for the table to choose from or a la carte.

The items are cooked by staff so the usual designated kbbq chef can relax and eat😆. Seating is a bit cramped, and can be an issue for people with accessibility problems. Blue handball is used to hold the burner controls, very random.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came to KPOT BBQ for the food and left raving about the entire experience. The food was great, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place like this. But somehow the service was even better. Shoutout to Stella, our server, who absolutely made the night. Attentive, friendly, funny, and on top of everything without ever hovering. She handled our table like a pro and cooked some of our food for us too! , even while I was clearly having the time of my life and probably making a bit of a spectacle of myself. Stella, if you’re reading this, thank you for making an already great meal unforgettable. And if by some chance you felt the same good vibes, feel free to reach out. Either way, KPOT BBQ has a customer for life.“

“The ambiance is nice, just a bit loud and the staff right behind you throwing stuff if you are seated in the back. We went on a Saturday and I think since it was packed the servers were super fast with everything so it was rushed they dont even talk you or introduce themselves. Overall, the food quality is great which is whats important? 10/10“

“Wonderful vibe, foods and services are great !“

“Honestly, this place even better than in LA or Korea ! The staff work incredibly hard and are always friendly. I tell everyone who visits New York that they must try Jongro Gopchang. We had Large beef platter, pork belly and spicy rice cake. The atmosphere and service make every penny worth it.“

“Wonderful vibe, foods and services are great !“

“We were so fortunate to have such a wonderful server assist us Chad. His attentiveness throughout the meal was truly remarkable. They offered excellent recommendations with a genuine smile. Every request was handled promptly and with great care. It's clear they take pride in providing exceptional service. We truly appreciated their positive and welcoming demeanor. Our experience was elevated significantly thanks to their efforts. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment based on their outstanding hospitality.“

“$28 AYCE KBBQ! Fantastic. Excellent quality food. Great price ! Friendly staff that sear your food at the table. Best of all, they have excellent ventilation vent (exhaust pipes) right on top of the grill! See pics. So you don’t smell like barbecue after your meal! A big big plus !
You order from the QR code at the table.
I’m going back!“

“Always a great meal. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Owner is very nice and always making sure everything is to satisfaction. Very clean and sanitary. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“Great food, nice services, good amenities.“

“Food was great and the service was very good. Surely we will come back and we will recommend the place.“

“Stopped in and was absolutely blown away. Not the first Korean place I’ve eaten at but easily one of the best I’ve EVER stopped at! Stopped by this place to change up my usual lunch routine and let me tell you-

TLDR; make sure you stop here!! Prices are reasonable and the food was awesome and definitely above the grade of “mall kiosk food court” that you might expect! (Ps do yourself a favor and get the apple milkis)

The kimchi was rich, flavorful, and easily my top since my favorite place closed down. The tteokbokki was exactly what I wanted - spicy, sweet, and LOADED with cheese on top - easily my favorite from my meal today. The mochi was way more chewy than expected and had way more filling than expected too, the mini pack could easily be enough for three people! Last but not least was my dongaseu/pork cutlet , it was a good sized piece, tender, hot, with crispy breading on a bed of well cooked white rice and with vinegar drizzle on it - additionally the meal came with glass noodles which I’d never had before (I liked it!!) and a simple side salad - the omelette included was fine, not too sweet but was awesome to dip in the demiglace. I really wasn’t expecting much approaching the place - especially because mall food courts aren’t what they used to be, but this completely blew me away, absolutely adding this to my routine when I’m in the area!“

“Excellent service good food.“

“This is easily one of the best K-BBQ spots in NYC—a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Korean barbecue. We got the beef set for two and paired it with a special cocktail recommended by our server, which was an excellent choice.
Our server Baek was the best—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations that truly elevated the experience. He made sure that the meat was prepared just the way we liked and pacing everything so we never felt rushed. Even though it was a busy evening, he stayed on top of our drinks and checked in to see if we needed anything else. The banchan were fantastic, and the beef was high quality.They also offer great options for vegetarians, making it a good choice for mixed groups. Overall, the ambiance, service, and especially the food were outstanding. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“the kimchi is great , also great service !“

“I loved everything within my experience at HYUN! Service is excellent, food is excellent and the environment is awesome! I anticipate coming back as soon as possible.“

“By far my fave kbbq spot. The meats are high quality and the servers are always very friendly. Their marinated short ribs and house special spicy pork are my absolute faves. Love how the charcoal flavor gets into the meat. Their mool nengmyun (buckwheat noodles in a cold broth) compliments their bbq meats really well, and their broth is the real deal. The Korean-style beef tartare (over seasoned sushi rice) is phenomenal and my must-eat every time I go.“

“Had an amazing time at Iron Age. The quality of the meat was great and the all-you-can-eat option is totally worth it. Huge shoutout to our waiter Egi. He was professional, always checking on us, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Excellent service like this definitely makes us want to come back♥️♥️♥️“

“Great food. excellent service. Will definitely go back.“

“Great food and friendly service. Would definitely come back again. I might be biased as well since I love Gopchang.“

“Food is very good but pricy: every thing is an add on. 4 stars for price of food., special right now is 1/2 off boba drink with purchase of a bowl (3/30/26)
Service was friendly and great, food wait time 10 min for 2 bowls and a platter
Smal place, bar for sitting, however parking is limited with small spaces. (I’d park at Tous Les Jours across the street~same owner)“

“Wonderful place, wonderful people, wonderful food. The presentation is it's own experience. I went at noon and the dinner menu was already available. They have a small parking lot. We did lunch specials with a dumpling appetizer. The dumplings were so light and fresh. The portions were huge. I came away with enough leftovers for at least two more meals. Next time we're trying the ribs.“

“I had such a perfect dinner at Sikgaek! The owners, waiter and waitress were so nice and friendly. Every dish was made with great care. Absolutely loved their meat quality (forgot to take photos!) and enjoyed the fried mini crabs, and fried rice, and the pistachio Gelato! Strongly recommend for anyone who wants to try authentic Korean food!“

“사장부터 직원 매우 불친절..자리를 기다리는 사람들에 대한 관리가 전혀 없고 중간 중간 여사장이나 직원이 아는 손님이 오면 중간중간에 슬쩍 끼워 놓음.한시간 이상을 기다리는 손님에 대한 기본 예의 조차 없음..“

“I highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, and the flavors are unforgettable!“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“Yook92 in Palisades Park is a standout Korean BBQ spot that I’m eager to return to. I visited at 425 Grand Ave, and the clean, welcoming environment set the perfect tone for a delicious meal. I ordered the Sweet and Spicy Chicken, and it was amazing—authentic, fresh, and perfectly cooked with a balanced kiss of heat and sweetness that reminded me of home-cooked Korean flavors. The chicken was incredibly juicy and tender, and every bite carried vibrant seasoning. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout, making me feel appreciated and well taken care of without being intrusive. The overall vibe was warm and inviting, and the attention to cleanliness was evident in every corner of the dining area. Given the quality of the food, the freshness, the excellent service, and the spotless setting, I would confidently give Yook92 five stars and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Korean BBQ. If you’re in the area and love spicy-sweet poultry, this place is a must-visit. Would absolutely visit again to explore more menu options and relive that same comforting, homey experience.“

“It's sooooo good! Authentic Korean Delicious Food with Great Costumer service and ambiance. See you again next time. 🤩👍“

“Went there for lunch so was not too busy. Food (kalbi) was excellent. Meat was extremely tender and their side dishes were tasty and plentiful. Their selection of food was good and was impressed by the selection of aged meats they had. Would definitely recommend this place to others. Parking is easy in their lot and price is comparable to other KBBQ restaurants. Only negative is their bathroom which appear very outdated.“

“Prime Recommended 100% Great Food“

“맛있겠다 .. All delicious food they have. come and visit this place.“

“I was here on several occassions, especially with my best guyfriend and best ladyfriend's birthdays. Love the K-Pop music on display, and the waiters/waitresses are excellent for their presentation and service.“

“The food was fresh and delicious. The staff are very professional and this place is also kid friendly. It gets super busy and crowded so go early if possible. I definitely recommend and will be coming back.“

“This place is a neighborhood gem for Korean food. Their food is actually very tasty and fresh. Although their Korean BBQ meats are all pretty good, I think they make an exceptionally good kalbi (marinated short ribs) if you're in the mood for grilling at the table. However, their best dish is Yook Gae Jang - a spicy beef broth with shredded brisket meat and some vegetables. It's so hearty and delicious! Perfect to warm up the soul during the colder months! Not only is it their best dish, it is the best Yook Gae Jang in all of Bergen County imo! Anyway, you can't go wrong with any of their food choices here. All fresh and quite tasty.

Parking lot is pretty big, and the restaurant is clean but dated. And there is a cold draft in some areas of the restaurant because of all the vents that suck out the smoke. Service is fast and attentive, but the language barrier limits an enhanced service experience. But I've always found their service to be just good enough for me. And prices are fair and they give you lots of side dishes/appetizers with your meal. Oh, and ask for hot tea and they will give you a cup of Korean corn/barley tea which you'll enjoy! Good job Seoul Galbi!“

“Totally worth the 1hr travel for us! I love the variety of food you can get and the lemonades. I also love the fact that they cook the meat for you. All you have to do is sit and enjoy. Aa formeats that is notorious for popping, they have a cover for that. You dont have to worry about anything but enjoying yourselves!“

“BYOB, Known for both Korean BBQ and grilled Jang Eo Gui, and honestly both were worth it.

This spot is mainly known for Korean BBQ
but their grilled jang eo gui is just as popular. We ordered both the jang eo gui and pork BBQ and both were really satisfying.
The jang eo gui (fish) was thick, fresh, and had a great texture without feeling overly fishy. The pork was flavorful and cooked really well too, definitely a solid combo if you’re going with a group.
Also good to know: it’s BYOB, so feel free to bring your own drinks.

If you’re visiting for the first time, definitely try both the pork and grilled jang eo gui together.“

“The entire food court is worth checking out in busy Little Korea. I ordered the Beef Kalbi Steak Rice Bowl that comes with soup. It’s big enough to share for two people. It’s a little pricey for average lunch but worth checking out. It was 20 plus tax and tip. There is seating on the different levels and the atmosphere is what you would expect similar to a mall food court.“

“Just tried GEN at the Tukwila, WA SouthCenter mall location. It was great and we loved it. Our server, Christian, was the best, always prompt and ready to serve. The food was excellent and tasted great. We will definitely be back!! 😃“
