Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Palisades Park, NJ

“The lunch box is incredibly well-prepared and delicious.

The neat and elegant packaging makes the meal feel even more premium.

It’s also a great choice for church gatherings or as a gift. This lunch box truly made my day a happy one!“

“I recently discovered this restaurant through a friend, and it has quickly become my favorite Korean BBQ spot.

The pork belly and fresh duck BBQ are simply the best I've ever had. The pork belly is served with four different sauces, each adding its own unique flavor, while the fresh duck is incredibly tender and delicious.

One of the highlights is the fried rice prepared at the end of the meal. A left-handed staff member with a topknot hairstyle works magic with a pair of scissors, cutting up the remaining pork belly and expertly stir-frying it with kimchi, seaweed, and rice right on the grill. It's the best Korean BBQ fried rice I've had in Palisades Park.

What makes the experience even better is the warm hospitality. The owner always greets guests with a big smile, and the entire staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

This is my favorite place for pork belly and duck BBQ, and it has become a small weekly tradition for me after a round of golf. Highly recommended!“

“I’m a snobby ktown LA born Korean American who lived in Korea. I talk crap about most Korean places because they’re just not as good as the west coast but this is by far the absolute best Korean bbq place in all of NJ/NY. Hands down. Super OG place that does actual charcoal grills you literally feel like you’re transported back to the 90’s getting fed Korean bbq at the only spot your parents went to. The place that you went for every graduation, special occasion and celebration. It really doesn’t get better than this.“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“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..“

“This is by far my favorite place to come for Korean BBQ. The hospitality is exceptional and is the first thing noticed before the enticing smell of the food even hits you. I have enjoyed every meal I’ve had here and the servers are so gracious that they will suggest something for you to try based on what your preferences are. I would drive (and have) over an hour to this location to have a positive experience every time!!“

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

“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.“

“Fast service, good food..“

“This was an awesome restaurant. The food was incredible, great views of the city, & delicious dessert selections. Definitely would recommend and will visit again 😊“

“Great place to decompress, Service is A+.“

“The best Korean barbique at Korea town 😍 💖“

“This is a KBBQ place specializing in pork. They offer a small selection of lunch deals that allow you to sample what they offer on their larger ala carte menu. Their banchan are not super varied but all go well with meat. The restaurant space goes in deep and has plenty of air vents for grilling. It's a good place to go share a grill with friends or coworkers after work.“

“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“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food, nice services, good amenities.“

“Wonderful vibe, foods and services are great !“

“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!“

“My friends and I came here for 4th of July weekend and were truly impressed. The menu was confusing at first because of the expansive options, but we were happy with the selections we made.

We started with the Tuna Tataki - which was seasoned so nicely and had a perfect sear on it. We also did a beef BBQ combo. Not only were all the meats fantastic, but the sides were divine - every single one of them. I believe we chose the pork kimchi stew, which was also great.

Our server James went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. He was able to accommodate everyone's desired meat temperature, but he was personable and really made our late lunch/early dinner special. He told us that he's studying something related to music, so we definitely hope his dreams come to fruition soon. His coworkers and manager were also very kind.“

“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.“

“This has been our favorite Korean BBQ spot in the neighborhood since they first opened! We used to come here almost every week, and it’s amazing to see how they’ve continued to improve over time. The menu keeps getting updated with new options, and every visit feels even better than the last.

The service and hospitality are always excellent, the staff is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely makes us feel at home. The food is consistently delicious, well-seasoned, and the homemade sauces are incredible.

We recently brought our baby with us for the first time, and she absolutely feasted along with us! It made the experience even more special, and we’re excited to keep making memories here as a family. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Korean BBQ, amazing service, and a warm neighborhood atmosphere. We’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Excellent service good food.“

“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.“

“I came for the Katsu set lunch special. This is likely the best pork Katsu on the east coast. Super crispy flaky outside with tender moist meat on the inside, just like it’s prepared overseas. Emily my server and all the staff were very welcoming and took great care of the whole experience.“

“Music a bit loud but thats not the issue i wish the waiter would ask if we need anything like sides and stuff would be helpful but overall nice place good meats 🍖 hopefully next time they improve we bump em up to a 5 i wanna give 5 so badly 😢“

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

“Great place, delicious food“

“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.“

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

“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)“

“We had our anniversary dinner here and we had a great experience with great service. The food was amazing, we left happy and full. The cocktail drinks were fantastic. Definitely try the strawberry highball. The chocolate mousse cake was delicious. Will definitely come again.“

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

“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.“

“Prime Recommended 100% Great Food“

“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!“

“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!“

“I ordered the 3 piece fried chicken,cole slaw and biscuits.Overall the food was ok.The chicken wasn't the juiciest and didn't have much flavor.The coating was fried dark but little to no flavor.
The biscuits were ok but I didn't see option for butter or honey.The slaw was basic.“

“Always our go-to place in Paramus. We have yet to do their bbq but plan to soon. All their à la carte dishes we’ve tried is good/legit. Recently ordered their mul naengmyun (cold buckwheat noodles) - this was so good, chewy noodles. We also ordered the galbi dolsot bibimbap which came out on a big sizzling pan with a good amt of veggies, galbi and rice that was crisping on the bottom. And the duk mandu guk (dumpling soup with rice cakes) - also 😋. Banchans were fresh. Service is different depending on who you get 😆, but even just the food is worth going for.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!! 😃“
