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

“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.“

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

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

“We arrived around 7:25 pm Sat night. After a ~25 mins wait time we got a table. From the time food arrived to done eating it was about another 30 mins.

We ordered the beef bbq combo for 4 + seafood pancake + raw beef tartar. All food is good. My fav meat is the next to premium short rib. There are 6 different kinds of side dishes for free. All very nice.

Good place for k bbq.“

“One of the nicest Korean restaurants I’ve been to in the entire United States. It has a great atmosphere that reminds me of an upscale restaurant in Busan. The dishes were delicious and the portions generous. The best part was the price - possibly the best deal for the quality of the atmosphere and the food.“

“Tried Wonder for the first time and I ain’t gonna lie, it was better than I expected. I got the chicken sandwich and fries, and both were fire. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and actually seasoned. Fries came out hot too. Food was ready quick, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely one of those spots I’ll hit again when I don’t feel like cooking. Easy 9/10.“

“Love the cleanliness of this restaurant. They have a lot of healthy options and all the entrees are so delicious. It hasn’t been too long since this spot opened but it has quickly become a staple among the Korean restaurants on Broad Ave“

“The front host was nice, she's sweet and quiet:)
I like the atmosphere, it has low lighting and it's chill, I came in on a rainy day so there werent many people.
The cheese donkatsu is very good, I liked the sauce a lot and its almost as good as the one I ate in Korea.
Overall decent place!“

“They were short staffed but the owners were so cute and attentive as possible. We had a larger group and ordered several items which were all delicious. The flavors weren’t extremely different from each other, even the spiciest wasn’t that spicy but the crispy outer layer of the chicken was perfect along with the tiny hint of spice. My personal fav was the galbi kimbab. Please support this local business! They even let us turn on the tv to play the Knicks game. What more can you ask for?“

“Okay so I do think this is a chicken and burger joint now combined together on the outside of the building. I really didn't notice the time for the chicken place. It was any small corner lit up attached to a burger place. With that said I am not mad at it as I ordered the bulgogi burger which was so good. Very soft and flavorful and I also ordered a order of 10-piece wings. I split it between soy, garlic and sweet and spicy. Now for me I am a Korean chicken lover and I just did it fully get the full experience of Korean Chicken meaning that in every bite it is very crunchy and it is packed with the sauce flavor on top for me. I did not get that full effect and that's really why. I love Korean f and wings that are usually double fried so they get a very nice crunch and the sauce is usually nicely styled on now. There was something wrong with the sauce but I would have liked to have a little bit more of it as well as more of a crunch. I would definitely come back here. I did notice that the burger place and the chicken plays. I have menus but a little bit different. I did order from Uber eats so I didn't really notice that at the time until I really checked out your iron. They do have the tablet where you can order from as soon as you get there. That has Uber just did for both places. However I was very happy with the wings. I got 10 pieces which I think you can order. I only ordered through the bloomberger site and they were nice sizes.“

“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.“

“Very good dolsot bibimbap but just wish it had a fried egg. My wife was happy they offered cold glass noodles as it was super hot outside, and the bingsu was a treat with the red bean flavored one being surprisingly really good (mango was great). Very large and generous portions“

“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 family visited my aunt who lives in the area for her birthday and we thought to try this place. i’m so glad we did because they had theeeee besssst seafood scallion pancake i’ve ever had and everyone in the group loved it!
i also really liked their banchan and hot tea.
i got their spicy brisket jjampong and i was very happy with my order.
the cooking definitely has a homemade taste to it as if we just went over a family friend’s house which was a nice feeling. the guy even told us there’s no msg in the food.
i would definitely come here again and would go more often if i lived closer 😆“

“This spot serves naengmyun that tastes better than most places in MD, though the quality of noodles are inconsistent. My son's noodles were undercooked and overly tangled, however, mine was ok. The LA galbi was very good and makes for a fantastic meal when ordered with their combo menu.“

“Best kimbap I’ve had in NJ, hands down — and I’m a visitor with high standards for food! Had it yesterday, loved it so much I came back to grab more for the plane ride home. Everything is so filling and clearly made with care — you can tell they put love into every roll. Their specialty coffee/matcha drinks are great too. Owners are super friendly. Will be back every time I’m in NJ/NY!“

“First time ordering from here, and it definitely won’t be the last! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and nothing felt overly greasy. We placed our pickup order ahead of time, and it was ready exactly when promised, which made the whole pickup process quick and easy. Parking was easy too.

Overall, a great experience. 10/10 would order again! Definitely one of the better takeout spots around. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

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

“This was a great experience! We were just at Kollection grabbing some kbeauty products.. when we wanted to eat somewhere. We had no wait, and the ambiance when we walked in was so chill. The table lamps are nice. The Bossam was AMAZING! I highly recommend that dish!! Especially with friends! I would do it plain. The seafood pancake was PACKED with seafood! It was light and fluffy! Corn and cheese was everything you would want.. creamy. And cheesy! I would have like a bit more corn I guess. Fun family dinner night out! The servings are good! I wish I could order more, but I’m full!
Shout out to Thomas our waiter! He was nice and attentive. Would definitely come back here again!“

“Grandma’s Bapsang is hands down the best authentic Korean food I’ve had. It’s a true mom-and-pop restaurant that serves comforting, homemade dishes full of flavor. You can tell everything is made with care, and every bite tastes like a home-cooked meal. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service makes you feel like family. If you’re looking for genuine Korean comfort food instead of the typical commercial spots, this place is an absolute must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“It was our first time dining at Karden, and we were already planning our next visit before we even left! The food was amazing—beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and a modern take on traditional Korean cuisine. The service was wonderful as well. Highly recommend 100%! ❤️🇰🇷“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“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!“

“Ms Sophie always welcome you with a smile. She make sure you’re OK. I see her clean the tables as soon as the people leave the place is spotless. You can always tell when you go to in any restaurant bathroom that tells it all. I will go back there again and again it’s worth the price“

“Best korean shabu in Fortlee“

“I have been a customer here since they first opened. The server is nice as usual. The food used to be better. I recommend the Gomtang more than the Yukgaejang. Yukgaejang used to taste a lot better in the past. The place needs to turn up the AC during the summer.“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“Mannane is anything but mundane—or inane (my pun 😅). These are, without a doubt, the best dumplings I've ever had. Every dumpling was incredibly fresh, piping hot, and tasted so clean and flavorful. The filling-to-dough ratio was absolute chef's kiss. They steamed everything fresh to order, and the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly friendly.

If you're craving dumplings, these are the specialists. 10/10—I can't wait to come back.“

“First time here yesterday and the food is great! I love all the selections and there’s great vegetarian options. Their egg fried rice was super fluffy and soft, worth the try! I got about 1.5 lbs of dry pot at 0.5 spicy and it was too spicy for me. I also think the saltiness can be reduced. Service was quick and restaurant is clean.
Would definitely come back to try other items.
Only three parking spots available.“

“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.“

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

“Nice welcoming and great warm service! We love authentic Korean foods and all customers were Korean except us. Noodles was little too soft but other than that we enjoyed our meal. Definitely we will return!

The best service ever. Thank you“

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

“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 food here was great. We added this as a random stop on our way home and it did not disappoint. The dumplings were so perfectly crispy. We ordered several different specialty rolls and they food came out so quickly. It's nothing special on the inside but a lot of the best places aren't! Would definitely come back again if we pass along the way.“

“Fantastic, such a convenient place with great late night hours!“

“The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is super-friendly & attentive. Will definitely come back!“

“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!“

“The food is great, it's small but the chicken wings are really tasty. I love going there and getting the Kimchi Pancake.“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“The BON bento box was hands down the best choice – everything was fresh, the evening with friends was so enjoyable, and I can’t wait to come back!"“

“If you're looking for an amazing Korean wings, look no further! This place has nailed it. The chicken itself was incredibly fresh, with a perfectly tender inside and a satisfyingly crispy outside. They were generous with the sauce, ensuring every bite was flavorful and delicious. I also appreciated the small touches, like providing free gloves to keep my hands clean – a sign they really care about the customer experience. The presentation of the wings was also top-notch, making it visually appealing as well as delicious. To top it all off, Han was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“Might have found my new favorite sushi spot! Sushi was fresh, flavorful, and there was a great variety on the menu. It was also a beautiful summer day, so sitting outside and enjoying the vibes with some great food made it even better.

10/10 would recommend. Definitely coming back!“

“I used Duri for my baby’s first birthday party and it was one of the best decisions I made! Andy is so kind and he was very easy to email with about the menu, price, and quantity.

I did a buffet style for our party in Manhattan and they were able to deliver. Delivery was timely and the food was so delicious all my guests were talking about it afterwards! A few friends even decided to cater from Duri after trying it at the party.

Will definitely go with Duri again for future events.

Everything was delicious but some standout dishes were the Kalbi JJIM and Shrimp tempura with sweet chili sauce on the side. Crowd pleasers!“

“Had a delicious and quick lunch here before driving upstate from Queens - very affordable, nangmyeon was slushy, full of flavor and extra chewy noodles. Portions were great, service so friendly! Will come back when I’m in the area :) Thank you!“

“I’ve been coming to Sushi Story since the day it opened, and it continues to impress every single time. The first thing that stood out to me was the service—warm, immediate, and sincere. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted and made to feel welcome. The waitresses are consistently polite, attentive, and always carry a genuine smile. In particular, the waitress with the slicked-back hair has a way of elevating every visit; she’s made several special occasions truly memorable. The restaurant is almost always busy, and for good reason. Because seating can be difficult to secure, I strongly recommend making an RSVP ahead of time. Even with the constant flow of guests, the experience never feels rushed. The master sushi chef is actively engaged with diners, adding an extra touch of authenticity and hospitality to the meal. As for the food—exceptional. The salmon and tuna are always fresh, vibrant, and prepared perfectly. It’s easily one of the best places to enjoy a great evening out with family or friends. And don’t forget: it’s BYOB, so feel free to bring your favorite bottle of wine. Sushi Story is truly a gem, and I look forward to visiting again very soon.“

“I recently moved to the area and Ive been on the hunt for the best food in the area - one of which was finding my new go to korean fried chicken place. This place did not disappoint and the high reviews left here are worth the hype. Ordered the spicy soy garlic + fries combo and it was deeeelicious. Fresh, hot, with the perfect amount of spice and the wings are bigger than what you'd get at a chain fried chicken restaurant. I also upgraded my fries to the truffle parmesean - truffle isnt as outstanding of a flavor but the parm was pretty good. The service is also so nice! Ill definitely be back to try their other food~“

“This place is like a hidden gem! Some reviews mentioned the food isn't as good as pictured, but you really can't beat it for the price. For $8–$13, you get a solid portion of hot, home-style Korean food instead of basic fast food. If you're expecting top-tier quality or a massive variety, you'd easily spend $30–$40 per person at a sit-down spot plus tip. Overall, this is easily one of the best go-to takeout spots around in Fort Lee. I've been ordering food from there for long time.“
