“Great food Great staff Brisket is absolutely amazing“

“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!“

“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!“

“Amazing food, authentic flavor“

“Amazing place! Owner, food and service wow!!!“

“I sat at the bar and had a drink, placed my order for dinner. Not one minute later, my dinner order was delivered, hot and fresh! Everything was delicious!“

“Visited New Jersey for the weekend, and this was one of the top restaurant recommendations from locals. It absolutely lived up to the hype.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but one of my favorites—unfortunately I forgot to take a picture—was the mixed vegetables. They tasted incredibly fresh with a subtle balance of sweetness and tangy citrus. It was the perfect palate cleanser and made me want to keep eating more skewers 😆

Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“excellent food and portions highly recommend eating here“

“Wonderful owners make amazing Thai food. I have been to many in the area. This was hands down the best.“

“Thank you for a Fantastic Fathers Day Dinner. Highest Recommendation!!“

“Absolutely recommend Mighty Quinn's! We had them cater our son's graduation party for over 30 people two days ago and it was an absolute hit! Food was amazing...everyone was raving about how good everything was! And Vinnie, the manager, went above and beyond...from delivery to set up...to removal of all boxes. Above five stars!!“

“Great food Great staff Brisket is absolutely amazing“

“I wanted to eat something good for dinner so I came back to YC Ribs. The barbecue ribs are so good. Wife had the Mofongo with Skirt steak. She said it was very good. The service is great and the food comes out pretty fast. Great place to have good food.“

“Great food, great people 👍“

“Dauod and his staff are amazing“

“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!“

“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.“

“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)“

“best bbq in Only In New Jersey😍“

“Best wings I’ve ever had!! The only words that describe is simply amazing. Has become one of my favorite Jersey spots, and the cornbread is fantastic. The staff is incredibly nice, best service ever!!❤️❤️❤️“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“It's such a futuristic way of getting your Korean fried chicken. So simplistic so to the point crunch is phenomenal, And even though it's made to order it's still fast! It reminds me of those individual food dining cubbies/booths for people who like minimal contact/interactions during dining that I've tried in Japan before. A lot of the items that I wanted were sold out but the experience was so well that I will go back again in hopes to get those items ☺️

(I'm not a spicy person but if you are the bokki is perfect for you, to me it was too spicy to enjoy unfortunately, even with the cheese added. But everything else about the bokki was spot on delicious!)“

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

“Overall, we had a very good dining experience. The food was delicious, especially the steak — it was flavorful, cooked very well, and the portion size was generous and very satisfying. The chicken was also very good. The butter served with the bread was absolutely delicious and a great touch. The asparagus served with the steak was also very well prepared and complemented the dish nicely.

The only disappointment was the potato; I felt it could have been more flavorful and better prepared.

Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the restroom. It was very dirty, and someone had clearly vomited in the sink area, but it had not been cleaned. For a restaurant of this quality, this was not acceptable and did not match the overall experience. I hope more attention can be given to hygiene and cleanliness.

We also called ahead to make a reservation, but we were told that due to the restaurant being full, we needed to come in person and put our name on the waiting list. We did that, but we ended up waiting more than 40 minutes before being seated. I understand that busy times happen, but the waiting process could be managed in a more organized way.

The food quality was great, but I believe there are areas where the restaurant can improve, especially regarding cleanliness and guest experience. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration.“

“Michelle is the best bartender Friendly atmosphere great wings Redd is great too!! Busy nite Michelle was awesome! Handled the crowd like the pro she is!!!“

“Cute little place. Casual, family friendly pizzaria vibe. Fully stocked bar (for tables ervice only). Great food at a good price point. Large portions. Service is a bit slow but the food is worth the wait. Perfect place to get a great meal at a reasonable price without having to put on your fancy clothes. 😊“

“great underated place“

“Lo máximo , me siento como estoy Perú“

“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..“

“I love this place! Jonathan is very nice, and the food is awesome. From the amazing beef chili (very hearty and tasty) to the crunchy footlong(?) corn dog (yum!) and the BBQ Beef Brisket... and the grilled Teriyaki Wings), everything was terrific with lots of flavor. Great service too. Two thumbs up, way up! 👍👍“

“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.“

“Had the brisket tacos at their stand in central park, and they were ON POINT. Best tacos I've had in a fat minute. That brisket was better than any I've had and I'm FROM the south! 100% recommend. I bought one, ate it, and came back 10 minutes later for 2 more!“

“So they forgot a pint of coleslaw.. took my money and didn’t give it right back bc I used their 3rd party online. I had 5 items, how did you forget 1? Then tell me how I have to wait 2-3 days for my refund??? You could have easily rectified it by remaking my now cold burger and giving me my dang slaw. Your smirky face really didn’t help the situation. Longtime customer..“

“The best fresh and tasty Spanish food in Paterson F!@k la fe“

“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.“

“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!

“Very hospitable and attentive staff. I ordered the bibimbap and cold noodles to go. I think this may have been the best mul naengmyeon I've ever had, this restaurants version of it is very flavorful and well balanced. Atmosphere is comfortable as well. I highly highly recommend!“

“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.“

“muy buena la comida muy recomendable 👍👍“

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

“Dined in today and the chicken was so crispy and delicious! It actually tasted even better than takeout. We had the soy sauce flavor and loved it. The tteokbokki here is also one of my favorites. Everything was fresh, crispy, and tasty. Definitely recommend stopping by and trying it!“

“Really Great Filipino food!“

“New Mgmt, updated menu and team!! Big difference in food offerings and service!! Free weekend entertainment is a big plus!!!“

“This place is absolutely incredible I love Firepit ! I tried some menu items that I never tried before including wings and an incredibly juicy burger with fries!

For our entree I shared a bbq platter with beef ribs, pork ribs, chicken, chorizo. Everything was incredibly tasty and delicious with just the right amount of salt! For sides we also shared French fries and yellow rice with black beans“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our food the last several times we were here. From the variety of side dishes to the bibimbap, galbi BBQ, cold noodles, seafood pancake, everything on the table was fresh, seasoned just right, and delicious. The servers were very attentive and accommodating. If you want an authentic Korean BBQ or Korean food, I highly recommend.“

“Between the friendly service and food my experience was nothing short of amazing. The Honey Garlic and Secret Spicy are definitely must haves. They were the perfect balance of crunchy and wet even though they were tossed. I highly recommend stopping in or taking to go. I’ll be back whenever I’m near this location!“

“I have to say, some of the reviews on this establishment is bordering on satire. Recently went here and found the food to be fantastic! The mango chicken was absolutely delicious as was the bourbon chicken and the spicy chicken. Do yourself a favor and actually look at the complaints about this place before you make a decision. I’ll cut you a break and give you an example or two about the complaints. One complaint was about the use of paper bag oppose to plastic bags and another was the color of the food, the color! I mean I understand complaints about the quality of the food but when the complaints have nothing to do with the quality then I can’t and won’t take it seriously. People seriously need to stop crying and complaining about the silliest of things. Enjoy this place, I know me and my wife did!“

“I frequently order from The BBQ location in Palisades Park after my morning gym session. There are many choices for good Korean style fried chicken but i find BBQ’s to have the perfect blend of crispy/flaky on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. My personal favorite chicken place-ordering online 20 min before my gym session ends ensures a ready to go pick up with no wait time. Easy and convenient.“
