Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Lodi, NJ

“Hot pot and bbq are really good and it's pretty fun making it yourself, great sauce selection but the apps other than the chicken wings could be better. Lodi location is very nice and clean inside, and Ruth was a very friendly and helpful server. It is a pricey dinner, so come hungry to get your money's worth. I came for my birthday, they did a great birthday song and the cheesecake was delicious!“

“If you haven't been to Q Grill in Fort Lee yet, you are seriously missing out. We had an great meal, but a few dishes absolutely stole the show.
The experience started off strong because the banchan was incredibly plentiful, giving us so many great sides to taste. A huge standout was the kimchi, it tasted so fresh yet beautifully and well-fermented, hitting that perfect balance of crunch and tang. For the main event, we opted for the Trinity Wagyu combination, and it was spectacular. The beef was incredibly velvety, rich, and luxurious. To call it tender is an understatement—every single bite practically melted in my mouth, packed with that premium, juicy flavor you only get from high-quality Wagyu cuts.
The JapChae was executed perfectly with that ideal, bouncy chew and a beautifully balanced, savory-sweet sesame soy sauce. We also ordered the spicy rice cakes with cheese, which were the ultimate comfort food—perfectly chewy with just the right amount of kick, smothered in melted, gooey cheese.
Between the generous sides, the cheese-pulled rice cakes, and the top-tier meats from the Trinity combo, Q Grill is officially a favorite. Can't wait to come back!“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

“Our server Ana was very attentive, sweet, and welcoming! Whenever we would need help/assistance, she and other staff would come right away or even without us asking! The restaurant also has many options and our family had a very enjoyable experience here, definitely will come back!“

“Great food, nice services, good amenities.“

“Wonderful vibe, foods and services are great !“

“My family had a truly delightful dining experience at the Korean steakhouse. The quality of the meats was exceptional, and each cut was prepared to perfection by the table side servers. Accompanied by an array of delicious banchan, the flavors were vibrant and authentic. The attentive service further enhanced our meal, making it a memorable occasion. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment for anyone seeking a superb Korean barbecue adventure.“

“Wonderful vibe, foods and services are great !“

“Not crowded for a Friday lunch. Great portions and food quality for the price. Service from the young Korean is attentive. The other waitstaff were also friendly. Ambience is okay.

Banchan - loved the leafy greens x 2. Mayo macaroni corn tasted unique (maybe cos without potato) and was delicious. Cubed radish kimchi was good. Loved the chili fishcake. Cabbage kimchi was a miss for me.

LA Galbi - glistening, perfectly grilled large pieces of meat. Not black-charred which reassures me. Perfectly sliced so there weren’t gristly bone pieces like other places. Loved that they cooked the bed of onions as well compared to other establishments that leave them raw.

Mul naengmyon cold noodles - cold tangy broth was more-ish. Noodles were fine-strand and delicious.

Galbitang - very decent. Large chunks of tender beef.

One of the best lunches in K-town I’ve had in a while.“

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

“Excellent service good food.“

“One of NYC’s must-try Korean BBQ spots for premium beef and major K-BBQ vibes. Jeong Yuk Jeom in Koreatown is all about premium cuts, perfectly grilled beef, and a sleek modern vibe. From dry-aged beef to Wagyu, every bite is rich, juicy, and full of flavor.

Their Premium Beef for 2 is a great way to experience Jeong Yuk Jeom’s signature Korean BBQ. I’m absolutely OBSESSED 🤩 A beautiful selection of premium, well-marbled beef grilled right at your table. The short rib is super tender and juicy, while the marinated beef is packed with savory flavor. Pair everything with their Korean side dishes and signature sauces for the full K-BBQ experience.“

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

“As a Korean, this spot is a hidden gem. Food was fresh and delicious. Service was quick with kind workers. It’s too bad the mall itself is dying and slow, would do great in a mall with more traffic. Wishing this business all the best.

Recommend the kalbi, spicy chicken, and dumplings.“

“My family used to come here every single weekend. We’ve since moved out of state, so we can’t visit anymore — but in my 10 years of living in New York, out of every Korean BBQ place I tried across NY and NJ, this one was the best.

Everything is prepared so cleanly and carefully that I never had a second thought about bringing my kid along. Highly recommend.“

“Been loving this restaurant for years… it is an absolute gem.

They offer an incredible banchan spread - clean, tasty, well balanced, never too sweet/salty - all homemade with care by their sajangnim (who also oversees the room with understated competence, the pro that she is).

Wife and I usually get chadolbegi and samgyupsal, and the cuts are always top quality. And you must know that their gyeran-jjim & denjang-jjigae (included with the meal set) are elite.

We always leave full and satisfied with the dining experience.

Notable that all of the servers are so attentive and friendly - especially Ms Kang, Ms Cho, and Helen unni (super mom of four grown kids!)… we always feel welcomed here, a neighborhood spot staffed by friends & family.

There are so many eateries in Fort Lee & Pal Park, which is of course a blessing… but Moo & Oink stands out and deserves all the stars!“

“the kimchi is great , also great service !“

“Sushi was very good. Korean food was very weird and not authentic. Although it's Korean owned �“

“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.“

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

“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)“

“I come here pretty often but cannot claim to have explored the menu thoroughly. I absolutely love their tteokbokki, which is just lovely: great portion size, perfect texture, and the subtle spice and sweet flavor of the sauce. Amazing with the addition of cheese.

I’ve also tried the tofu bowl, which I have not bothered with again, as well as the kimbap on numerous occasions, which is a great option for a snack or light lunch. The fried dumplings are super crispy and delicious.

I also almost always get a side of kimchi, which is a good size for the price and has a nice flavor and kick to it.

100% would recommend; I mostly get takeout, but the dine-in seating area is a nice setup. Sometimes they have a BOGO deal on the tteokbokki and it absolutely makes my day every time.“

“We had such a great experience here! Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the beef noodles with vegetables and the dumpling soup, and both were excellent. The complimentary side dishes were incredibly tasty, and we loved learning that many of the vegetables are grown by their own garden it really shows in the freshness and flavor.

The tea was also wonderful and paired perfectly with the meal.

The prices were very reasonable for the quality and generous portions. We enjoyed everything so much that we even ordered extra food to take home for our kids.

Friendly service, amazing food, fresh ingredients, and excellent value.

We will definitely be coming back.
Highly recommended! ⭐“

“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..“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“Very nice place to visit for some korean BBQ and some grill intestines. This restaurant specializes in grill beef intestines. Other things are good too. But stay away from that sushi thing, it isn't really that good. Better off not getting that. We had a party of 10 and we had our own private room. The atmosphere was very cool and inviting. Every server were very nice, they greet us and was very polite. The place was clean and didn't smell of BBQ because their exhaust is done very well. Highly Recommended.“

“Prime Recommended 100% Great Food“

“This place totally satisfied our desire for KBBQ. We were used to other cuts of meat after living overseas for 7 years but the buy 2, get 1 free meat special with three types of ribeyes (roast: thin sliced with salt/pepper seasoning at the end; standard: thick steak , cut up after cooking; marinated: already cubed and marinaded in a sweet soy sauce) was really good. The seafood pancake was more substantial than expected and delicious- it was thick, with a good amount of seafood and very mild green onions that made it really easy to eat. Service was very good where they anticipated our needs just as we were thinking/ about to think about it (plate replacements, lettuce refills, corn tea (light and refreshing!). We liked that they kept checking with us to make sure we were satisfied.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Being in Leonia for a few days, having been told the neighborhood was mostly Korean, and having loved in Korea for 3 months a couple years ago, I indeed was willing to have Korean barbecue, my favorite Korean food
I searched online and Honey Pig looked like the best option
And I can now confirm it was a great idea

First when I entered I liked the style, with a main room but also private ones, with changhoji (translucent doors made from mulberry paper pasted onto wooden lattice frames), and the tables with the typical hole to hold barbecue grill

I had hot barley tea, seafood pancake as a starter, and as a main Kobe beef brisket, which came with steamed egg, lettuce, kimchi, seasoned spinach, seasoned bean sprouts, braised black beans, seasoned shredded radish, ssamjang (dipping sauce)...

It was very good and filling
And while a bit spicy (it has to, otherwise it wouldn't be Korean BBQ), it was definitely not as spicy as in Korea, which was very welcome for me, so don't worry if you're rather sensitive to spiciness
Plus the seafood pancake was incredibly soft, another must try in my opinion
Definitely the whole order could have been enough for two (I actually left half the pancake to to)
And the hot barley tea

Also, staff was well efficient

Definitely recommended!

“the food is soo good!! i've had it about 4 times and not once has it disappointed! I had a friend show me and since then I took my family and other friends there 🙂‍↕I love the kbbq chicken so much, it's definitely worth commute there:) staff is also very kind and friendly. one of them gave us double bags when ours had torn. the cooks in the back deserve some appreciation for cooking the dishes so well y con amor 😋 I also love the spicy miso soup. I love this place sm 1000/10😛 went 5/9 then 6/1“

“We LOVE this restaurant AMAZING FOOD AND PRICE. Not a fancy restaurant but it’s ok for us. Coming here for 10 years. Seeing same faces and dedicated quality of food is not easy to keep up for some establishments . BRAVO TO OWNER and managers.“

“As food and travel enthusiasts, we’ve had Korean BBQ all over the world, and Cast Iron Pot delivers a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant is exceptionally clean, the atmosphere is lively, and the service truly stands out. The staff was attentive from the moment we arrived, frequently checking in, changing the grill when needed, and making sure we always had everything we needed.

The only reason for the 4-star rating is the quality of the meat. While the selection is generous, we were expecting more premium cuts with better marbling and tenderness. Upgrading the meat quality would elevate the entire experience and easily make this one of the top Korean BBQ destinations in the area.

If you’re looking for great service, a spotless restaurant, and a fun place to enjoy Korean BBQ with family or friends, Cast Iron Pot is definitely worth a visit.“
