“The Best place!! The best meatS and seafood“

“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!“

“Plenty of parking, good food, good vibes.“

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

“We went here right when they opened.
The place was very clean and pretty.
We’ve been coming here often for a long time. The food is so delicious that we just keep eating!
The staff are very friendly and come by often to ask if we need anything.
We had a great meal and it made us happy.“

“This place is GREAT!

We were craving for some ttukbokki and kimbop, decided to try for a new place.

Their kimbop is delicious, great fillings and well seasoned seaweed.

Ttukbokki came out nice and hot. Rice cake was nicely cooked and seasoned. But come on, look at the boiled egg, it’s not one of those overcooked yolk!!

Ramyun and udon was also delicious, noodles were done jussssssst right. I will admit that I was a little thrown off by mixed greens on ramyun.

Donkatsu was one of the best as well. Pork was just the right amount of thickness and crispy.

I also don’t feel like crap after eating the food there, not over seasoned with high sodium or MSG.

People were also great there, highly highly recommend it!“

“Really enjoyed the food from Bloom Chicken.

The small boneless chicken was honestly huge and the chicken was super crispy. The spicy rice cakes were way better than I expected — especially since I don’t usually like rice cakes.

The only thing keeping this from a 5-star review is that it came with no radish, no dipping sauce, nothing on the side.

For $14 for a small order, I’d expect at least some radish, I’d also give up a few pieces of chicken for radish.

Also, it’s definitely more of a take-out spot — the covered patio is nice but not heated, therefore I ate my food in the car since it was cold.

Overall though, really solid food and an easy 4-star meal.“

“Ever since the new owners took over, this place has really stepped up! The store is spotless, the BBQ chicken is crispy and fresh, and the lady at the front desk is always so friendly. You can taste and feel the positive changes — definitely the best spot if you’re craving fried chicken!“

“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.“

“The foods (ingredients) is very well prepared and presented.
I am a tough critic about bibimbap; I can definitely say that the dish was very exquisite. The bibimbap plate was composed of quality raw strings of beef and fancy herbs.
A place to return with friends if you wish to impress them with your local culinary knowledge!“

“The first time I ate at this place, I was truly impressed with both the food and the service. My son treated me to lunch and chose this restaurant because of its great reviews—and we definitely didn’t regret it. The food was delicious, and the staff were all friendly and accommodating. We ordered their Wooga Special Combo, and both the pork and beef were excellent—you can really taste the freshness. The steamed egg was cooked to perfection. Definitely worth the money!“

“Phenomenal. I can’t get over how sweet the lady who attended us was. This is the first restaurant I’ve been to where i felt as if the food was truly made with love. The food itself was absolutely delicious, and the price was very reasonable. My friend and I ordered the fried chicken, tteokbokki, and bulgogi kimbap. The portions were perfect, we finished ALL of it (and licked our fingers clean). Their plates are also so cute if I may add. I will definitely bring all of my friends here when they visit Teaneck.“

“I wish I took a photo before I ate it. But, if you want something clean and delicious to eat for Korean food, this is THE spot to eat at out of the tri-state area. Usually Korean soup based foods tend to have either too much sodium and additives to make the flavor powerful, or not enough to bring the flavor out. Genuinely, you can NEVER go wrong with this place. I got 육개장 칼국수 (Spicy Beef Handmade Noodle Soup), and you can ask to see if you can add dumplings in the soup for extra.“

“Such comforting and delicious soups 🤍 I usually get the dumpling and rice cake soup and it’s hardy and the perfect pick me up after a long day. Their banchan is also immaculate, fresh, and flavorful! Happy to support this small business and will be continuing to order from them 😊“

“Wonderful experience for our family’s Christmas dinner today. Everyone from the hostess, servers and managers was so attentive to all of our needs and requests. My first time at this SGD location and the food was delicious and the Mango Bingsoo did not disappoint.“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“Jangkalguksu was delicious. The moderately spicy and moderately rich taste of the soybean paste soup went well with the chewy noodles. The soup would have been delicious even when eaten with rice. I didn't add rice because I thought I would be too full. To be strict, I was a little disappointed that jalapenos were used instead of Cheongyang peppers because of the greenish smell of jalapenos, but considering that it is not easy to find Cheongyang peppers here and that jalapenos are an excellent ingredient for adding spiciness, I can fully understand it. It was part.“

“So clean! I walked in and thought I had walked into a dental office! The owner is very friendly and told me his 15 year experience making dumplings by hand. For home made quality abd taste, the prices were great. They even steam the dumpling for you on the spot so you can have hot, steamy dumplings. I got pork, kimchi pork, and beef chive dumplings and they were perfect. Definitely coming back to pick up frozen ones to enjoy at home!“

“This place has been around for over two years, but I finally got to visit. Honestly, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a Korean spot where even the kimchi impressed me this much. The fresh kimchi tasted just like something my mom would make!

I thought the prices were a bit high compared to spots nearby, but the food was so good that I’m glad I came. After enjoying the gamjatang, I even came back for the ajusshi gukbap because it was that good!“

“I came here one night to try for dinner with a group of friends. I really enjoyed the noodles here! My friends ordered the clam soup with kalgusuk, and the noodles are at a perfect texture and the serving size was a lot. I would say good to share! I ordered the mandu soup with rice on the side, flavor was perfect! The fried dumplings was also nice, and it was great to share. Great kimchi as well!“

“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.“

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

“We were traveling through Jersey and this was our to-go spot for breakfast with the kids. Service is wonderful and the food is so hearty, clean, and DELICIOUS. When traveling it's always very greasy foods- this is a perfect place to get a good healthy bite to eat. 10/10 recommend!“

“The lady at the front desk has a great smile and very friendly! We loved the food here and it’s the perfect spot right after a day at hot spa sauna next door. The seafood pancake was so crispy and it’s cheaper than anywhere else in the area.“

“Fabulous place to eat! It’s been a place that hasn’t changed in all these years and the service is always top notch here!“

“집에서 만든것 같은 음식의맛!!!이죠! 외국인에게도 더많이 사랑받아서 한국음식을 알릴수있는 무지개잔치집이길 바래요!*^^*“

“If you see a sign that says Tomo Sushi, it's the right place. I was confused because I came for Hama Korean, but I talked to the owner of the restaurant and she said it's Hama Korean. I almost went back home, but I am glad I asked the owner.

I absolutely loved food - especially bibimbap - at Hama Korean and so good.

The sign may say Tomo Sushi, but when I asked the restaurant owner, he said it was Hippo Korean. The owners are the same and the food tastes just as good ^^“

“My favorite healthy food spot in Edgewater! The bibimbap is to so tasty. You can tell that the restaurant put a love of love and effort to each menu item. It’s fresh, flavors are on point, and better than most restaurants. The owner is kind and whenever I visit, I’m compelled to share the food with my close friends which I do many times as sharing is caring!“

“Great spot if you want authentic Korean soups and stews. The side dishes (banchans) are tasty (but a bit salty to cater to the american palette). It’s also a tad less casual so it’s a nice spot to say, treat your in-laws or bring guests.“

“Our favorite spot!
We've been coming here regularly for a long time and can’t recommend it enough. The food is consistently amazing - The quality of the meat is great, the portions are generous and the side dishes and kitchen items always hit the spot.
The atmosphere is cozy and
fun and most importantly Dave and the staff are amazing. They always take such great care of us.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, drinks and an experience that feels like home“

“Came here with a couple of friends Sunday evening & was impressed with the quality and freshness of the food. It was on par with some of the really good places in Korea. Very authentic korean cuisine. Coming back for sure! Service was fast & friendly. 👍👍“

“I went there by myself and order the grilled mackerel and seafood tofu soup combo. Everything tasted great. The seafood tofu soup was flavorful and not too spicy. I love the side dishes too. I wish I had a bigger stomach to finish everything. I saw other tables doing KBBQ, the meats seemed to be of high quality and offers table side service. The service staff were very attentive.“

“Fantastic authentic Korean food and also very popular in the fort lee area as tables are almost never empty throughout the day as far as I know. This differs from kbbq places as they serve more advanced level korean food for patrons. There is no grill on the table so keep that in mind. We have been here on multiple occasions and have tried many menu items with flavors that are out of this world. This is the kinda of business that will be handed down for generations if they own the spot instead of renting the space. Long live the king of all korean restaurants in the tri state area!“

“weekend morning — and it was fantastic!
Only $9.99, but the quality was outstanding.
The broth was rich and flavorful without being greasy, and it came with plenty of tender beef.
Even the kimchi and radish kimchi were fresh and perfectly seasoned.
For the price, quality, and care, this place absolutely delivers.

👉 Must-try: Seolleongtang 🍲
👉 Would visit again: Definitely yes 💯“

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

“THIS IS MY FAVE / GO TO GALBITANG SPOT

The meat here is sooooo tender and falls right off the bone!! Portion size is also very generous here!!

What not to love?!

We also tried their muksal gul which tastes like the viet pork chop but meat also very tender and juicy

Summer time I usually get their cold noodles and those are also great here too!!

I usually go to their original location but the fort lee location is just as good but only downside is parking is a bit hard to find here
We got free japchae which was a big bonus too!

My fave thing about this place is their unlimited free collagen beef bone soup!!

You also order right at the cashier so you don't have to tip here“

“Went here with my family, enjoyable atmosphere, amazing decorating with many cute, funny decorations. Amazing quality of food and taste, many good choices in menu foods, drinks and other items. Good tip for your next visit: Get one of their special bobas, they are amazing in both taste and come with packages with cute faces!“

“We've been to Aria many times now. The food is very consistent, it's always of high quality and good tastes. The eel is very very good, it's fresh, thick and meaty really good. The service is attentive. Everyone has done a good job. Their banchan selection is good and always tasty. Nothing bad to say at all about ARIA, we will go back again and again“

“Nice modern Korean restaurant. We ordered Gujeolpan for appetizer, and Neobiani and Branzino sotbap for main dishes. Everything was delicious and neatly plated, but I think they’re a bit overpriced compared to other contemporary Korean restaurants in the area. Bring cash - thank me later.“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“I order from here often and you can rely on their menu items. But today I wanted to rave about their Pork Kimchi Jjangbong. It was like a kimchi jjigae with noodles. It was AMAZING!!. The flavor was on point!

I will order it with a rice next time.“

“Best korean shabu in Fortlee“

“Clean and welcoming space.
The Gomtang Delux had a balanced savory flavor with a clean broth as well as thin cuts of tender brisket, chuck roll, and beef heel.

The potato, kimchi, and seafood pancakes each were crispy and tasty in their own way but a bit too greasy.

The kimchi/radish and pickled soy sauce onions pair well with the Gomtang Delux and pancakes.

The Seoulleongtang was light, creamy, and mildly seasoned.“

“Absolutely fantastic taste, we already had lunch then saw this bbq chicken we thought of buying it for evening dinner, when the food came its smell/taste made us eat the whole order. Like I said unbelievable taste. Same taste they have in South Korea. Spicy Sweet combination is craving feature.“

“Yook92 is easily my favorite Korean BBQ spot in New Jersey. The quality of the meat is consistently excellent; well-marbled, flavorful, and always fresh. Whether it’s brisket, or marinated short ribs, everything is grilled to perfection.

The service here is also top-notch. Staff are attentive, friendly, and quick to assist with grilling or refills, which really elevates the whole dining experience. Beyond BBQ, their kitchen menu is worth exploring, especially the kimchi fried rice and galbitang, both of which are flavorful, comforting, and highly recommended.

From food to service, Yook92 delivers a standout Korean BBQ experience that keeps me coming back.“

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

“We’ve been here many times, and the service is always excellent. It’s a great spot to visit, especially if someone in the group isn’t a fan of seafood. Although it’s a seafood restaurant, they offer a variety of delicious Korean dishes. Our favorites are 김치찌개, 돈까스, and 한치회무침—which almost tastes like 물회, just without the soup. All the rolls are fantastic as well. Highly recommend!“

“While eating bossam here, I asked to take the leftovers to go. At many places, when you box food after starting a meal, they usually only pack the main dish.

But here, they thoughtfully packed everything that goes with bossam — the garlic, peppers, ssamjang, shrimp paste, and even the kimchi. It may seem like a small detail, but it honestly meant a lot to me.

I know this could be inconvenient for the servers, yet they did it without hesitation. That level of care and consideration truly impressed me. Excellent service and attention to detail — I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Great experience, awesome food, and the staff are super friendly. The atmosphere is very chill and they're open late. The owner even came out and schooled us on how to cook shabu shabu properly. Highly recommended, it's also kid friendly and they'll be open during lunch hours during the summer season. The patrons there won't cause a ruckus and it's a great crowd all around.“
