홍반장 팰팍 (HONG BAN JANG) | Korean Chinese Palisades Park, NJ

This is the best Chinese restaurant around here. I'm planning to stop because I've had it delivered too often and my wallet has become lighter, but I recommend it 10/10 to others.

This is for a takeout review. Food is actually pretty good. They told me 15 minutes for the order so I got there in 20 minutes. Waited another 20 minutes to get my order even though the food was packaged and sitting in front at checkout. Very poorly managed takeout business.

The four of us, my husband, my 7-year-old, my 2-year-old, and I went and ordered 2 Jjajangmyeon, 1 Jjamppong, and a L of sweet and sour pork. I usually order Jjajangmyeon, Jjamppong, Sweet and Sour Pork L, but today I ordered more. Sweet and sour pork came out, and I asked my husband, “Are you sure you ordered it right?” The portion seemed so small that I asked, and the table next to me also ordered sweet and sour pork S, and it was the same amount as ours. There was nothing left of the sweet and sour pork that was always half packaged. After paying, I asked if the amount of sweet and sour pork had been reduced, and I was told no, and didn't respond at all. Instead, I sarcastically said, "I guess the kids have grown up." Another employee happened to come, and he said to that employee, “I don’t know, the sweet and sour pork is hostile.” Shouldn’t you at least think about such things in your mind and say them among yourself after the person in question leaves? After all the calculations were made, did I ask for more sweet and sour pork or did I raise my voice? Coincidentally, I met him in front of the bathroom. He came here often to eat, but he always got takeout, so he never saw me once. I was so shocked that I went through every single detail and ended up giving a perfunctory apology that wasn't worth accepting. Business is good, so I don't mind losing a customer, but I don't think I'll ever go back again.

excellent

I’ve tried in store and takeout (Jjajangmyeon, jjampong, 탕수육, 깐풍새우). The food is amazing and portions are okay compared to the price. The only thing is when it gets really busy like around noon, it gets very crowded in the small space.

Jajangmyeon Jjamppong is a taste that is faithful to the basics. The taste was exactly what I expected!!!

And I ate the recommended fried dumplings, and they were the most delicious fried dumplings I've ever had in my life. Really.... Jingjja..

Loved the seafood noodles(짬뽕). The portion size was very big with plenty of seafood and the broth was flavorful. The black bean noodles(짜장면) and sweet and sour pork(탕수육) were good, but not the best. The price for the set menu was really cheap with a decent amount of food.

Jjamppong has a good fiery taste.

A while ago, I submitted shrimp gospel rice, but I couldn't eat it and threw it away because of the oil smell (the bitter taste of rancid oil from the frying machine).
The rice itself looked as if it had been rubbed in oil rather than stir-fried. The egg inside also had a scrambled texture. Instead, it looked like it had been fried in advance (it was very dry) and then roughly mixed.
Cost reduction and tips are good, but you need to keep your conscience.
The squid in the seafood jjamppong we ordered had a burnt taste that was very unpleasant, as if it had been grilled with a torch.
I will never go to this house again.

It was the most delicious Jjajangmyeon Jjamppong I had in New York and New Jersey~~!!! Even my husband, who is a non-Korean Jjajangmyeon fanatic, said it was really delicious and that it was the best Jajangmyeon restaurant he went to in the US! The price is also great. I'll come again next time!!!

The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere feels like a family. The jjampong and jajangmyeon are both delicious. The prices are reasonable.

I would definitely visit again.

It was a little after 8 o'clock. There's still about an hour and a half left until closing time. I asked if it was late and went in, and they said it was okay, so I ordered food.
However, the person working in the hall kept asking for things on the table (spoon containers, seasoning containers, etc.). I was eating food when something interrupted me. Do you really have to do it now? I asked, but he ignored it and continued… I keep taking the napkin container over the food, filling it up and bringing it back... I can't concentrate on the food and it feels like something is falling on the food. I was offended. The family I went with all felt uncomfortable. Did we come too late? If you're going to clean up the table while a guest is eating, why don't you accept the guest? It's not even 9 o'clock yet... Are you telling me to go out? I visited often but was disappointed. While eating, don’t you say, “Can I have a can, please?” Even if you complain that you can't do it, they just laugh. “Let’s just get up,” I said and got up from eating because... He gently pushed my daughter’s shoulder and took the container from the wall. Did you ignore me because I was a child?
Teach them to only clean up empty tables.

I ordered delivery through Uber Eats.
Jjambbong: I ordered “medium hot,” the second spiciest of the five options, but it was too spicy, comparable to the level of spiciness found in Thai or Laotian restaurants. 3/5.
Jjajangmyeon: I enjoyed it last time, but this time it seemed like none of the vegetables were cooked and it was all too crunchy and not very chewy. In particular, the cabbage stems were so chewy that I was so shocked that I thought my teeth were broken! It would have been a shame if it had been cooked a little better. 3/5.
Sweet and sour pork: The sauce seemed to be more sour than usual? But the meat itself was really delicious. 4.5/5.
