“My friend was shocked that I’m giving 4 stars after I complained to him.But although my jaws indeed were sore after chewing through a full portion of poppers, and the blooming onion sauce did not taste match my memories of youth, how could I possibly give less than 4 stars to a restaurant that I’d die for as a teenager?“
“Higly recommend for hong kong cuisine in midtown. I had the duck noodle soup. Soup base and noodles were good. The duck was okay so I probably try some other protein instead next time. They have hk style milk tea which really made me happy. The portuguese tart flaky pastry crust and the filling was really good.“
“Best Korean bbq in the area. The quality of the meat is consistently phenomenal and better yet, the service is the best in the city. They are attentive, polite, efficient and friendly. I’ve been going here since they opened over the years, and I always look forward to my visits. I highly recommend this place of high quality meat, side dishes, and stews.“
“I liked the ordering with kiosk option where you could view pictures and customize your orders easily. I chose the Koba bowl. The portion size shocked me! My bowl looked like a mountain. It was satisfying to have that much food and a variety of stuff in only one bowl. Both food and service were amazing! With any order it also comes with a Korean snack of your choice.“
“My wife's German grandma loves this place, and often treats us to the family style special. The food is good (certainly the best BBQ you can get in NYC) and the service is always excellent. It does tend to get busy and loud, sometimes louder than is comfortable, but it's always a good time. We went once for lunch, and since it wasn't as busy, that was the best experience we had there. Prices are pretty good, especially for Manhattan. Always have a great time here and love to get good BBQ even this far north!Kid-friendliness: A bit loud for kids, but they put out a coloring page with crayons. There are a few racy pictures on the wall, but they're high up in the corner and my 4 year old didn't notice. She's too focused on the excellent mac and cheese“
“Absolutely outstanding hot pot experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The selection of ingredients was vast and fresh, ensuring there was something for everyone's taste. The broth was flavorful and aromatic, making every bite a delight. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff catering to our every need. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone craving authentic and delicious hot pot.“
“I love Anytime because the vibe is a bit more fancier than other regular pochas you would go to in Fort Lee or Palisades Park.The servers are always nice and attentive.The food is top notch.If you order the honey makgeolli (rice wine) the servers will slice up real honey and put it in your glass.“
“Service is phenomenal, all staff very attentive and constantly ready to clear plates, adjust flames, and switch the grill plate. Our waiter Hira was an excellent waiter!Raised tables and atmosphere are very niceFood would be a 4.5, meat is very good but some cuts were difficult to bite through“
“The quality (of the food), atmosphere (elegant and modern), and service of this restaurant are top notch. Step into this place and it’s as you’re transported to a restaurant at a fancy Seoul neighborhood. Dinner for 3 cost us $150 which was great value given the quality, atmosphere and service provided. For example, one of our dish was grilled clams and we were blown away by their size. They were gigantic, abundant and FRESH! The patrons were all locals and some families. Will definitely return.Parking: The restaurant has a free parking lot. There's also paid/unpaid (depending on the day/time) street parking, right in front of the restaurant.“
“Another slam dunk. I've eaten at Don Don twice (and planning to go more soon!) and the cuts of dry aged pork, side dishes and black sesame ice cream is immaculate. Staff is super attentive and friendly as well.If it's your first time, definitely try out the dry age pork tasting. I've also eaten at a handful of KBBQ joints at NJ and although this isn't all you can eat, I left Don Don feeling just as full and satisfied. Will definitely swing by again in the near future after work!“
“We tried the nearest KBBQ at the hotel we were staying and were not disappointed. The meat was nicely seasoned but the item that elevated the eating experience was the banchan. The seaweed was not too strong or salty and was delightfully tasty. Even the onions, which I don't typically eat, became one of my favorites. The pork belly was a nice thick cut. Service was excellent and the staff very attentive! I think I can say that about most Korean restaurants that I've been to.“
“I picked up my order for take out. The food was ready very quickly. The order included 1/2 chicken, burnt ends, baked beans, and corn bread. All were wonderful. The chicken was falling off the bone and the burnt ends were juicy and fell apart easily. Good smoke flavor. All really delicious. Definitely trying again.“
“After visiting the Museum of Moving Image in Astoria we walked up the block and had a nice lunch at Pig Beach BBQ. My husband and I split the sampler platter which we both enjoyed. My favorite was the pulled pork and my husband’s favorite was the ribs.We were both surprised that it was more of a cafeteria style set up instead of sit down. To me that was probably the only drawback. But it was a very laid back casual atmosphere which a lot of people may find appealing.“
“Whether part of a group or on a solo visit, welcome is given. The staff are attentive, engaging, friendly and humorous. They truly make an effort to ensure that the customers return. The kitchen is tiny, yet the food is tasty.Dietary restrictions: When you share your dietary restrictions with the staff, they listen and advise which dishes are suitable. It is a relief to be heard and accommodated.“
“I love their food! Tasty, clean and fresh. The portions are good too.Services is great and friendly. It’s small but quaint. It’s ran by a sweet family.. I definitely recommend them!Vegetarian options: They have rice n peas, cabbage plantains, delicious“
“If you have been eating the average to good burgers for a while, take one bite of a burger at Mel's and your tastebuds will remember what a real burger tastes like!Perfection in qualityFat to beef ratioTasteFreshnessTexturePreparationNot full of salt , just the taste good beef.“
“I couldn't take a picture because I was busy eating. The best raw ribs I've had since coming to the US! It's extremely delicious. People who like meat will like thicker meat. The meat is thick and soft, has a good chew and is full of juice. Not a single flaw. It's not a soju restaurant, it's a rib restaurant. Lastly, I enjoyed the clam sauna and ate kalguksu (noodle soup) in cool clam soup. It's been 7-8 years since I stopped eating kalguksu, cold noodles, and japchae to cut out carbohydrates, but this soup isn't one I can tolerate because it's low in carbohydrates. I ate all the delicious radish radish without any regrets. I promise to try yukhoe sometime soon. Photos were uploaded then. ?“
“Danny’s always a pleasure! We have had him serve us a multitude of times and he’s always so nice and helpful. Love gyukaku and he also helped us to get the rewards app!Dietary restrictions: They always ask about your dietary restrictions and accommodate.“
“Very good but my main advice is don't go overboard on whatever meats they have on the buffet. Behind a counter they got a whole smoking setup with absolutely tons of meat. Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT but i ended up biting off more than i could chew, literally.“
“It isn’t Texas but definitely a New Jersey establishment serving up Texas BBQ in their cozy indoor/outdoor establishment with some of the nicest staff.The $60 platter is a lot for two people, IMO. Definitely come hungry and with friends and family.The pulled pork and beef were very tasty and good. The Mac and cheese was definitely tasty, they should maybe bake it a bit more to give it a nice crust.The drinks were a bit too strong and on the higher end of value.Service was great. They allowed us to swap out some of the sides. We got fries, corn bread and Mac and cheese for our sides. All tasty.Establishment does have limited onsite parking so get there early and lock in your parking spot.The indoor decor gives off a rustic wooden cabin vibe with fake lanterns. Creative and comfortable.“
“I ate here every week during my internship next door! The wings were incredible and the corn bread was the best I've ever had! The family that owns it are wonderfully kind. I always felt welcomed and appreciated :) I'm finally going back in March and I can't wait“
“The quality of the meat is pretty high. I have yet to try their cold buckwheat noodles. I've heard great things.Parking: The parking lot is tiny and shared with other businesses. During dinner hours, they only offer valet parking. It's the only negative I have.“
“This is the best grilled fish place I have ever been coming from Manhattan. Worth the trip I am so glad I can call myself a regular now wowow!!! Been waiting so long for this Cocktails are visually so appealing too with everything so fresh. Made to order!!!! Thank you for owners for opening this place “
“Their food was phenomenal. I would recommend coming to this location for dinner. Tip my hat to Sheem for suggesting Mac and cheese and bread pudding with brisket. Thank you for a great experience. Certainly a goat at this bbq stuff keep it up. Sheem deserves a raise for his great suggestions! I’ll definitely be back soon.“
“The wings used to be really good and fresh. But my last order was disappointing. Wings tasted like they were fried a while ago, covered up with too much sauce that it was so salty. Please bring back the fresh quality you used to have when you first opened.“
“Tried many Korean BBQ this one is the best! Came in on a rainy day and ordered beef combo. We were amazed by the portion that came out, and all of the food the was just cooked to the perfection. The staff were even more amazing - they are super nice, attentive and considerate, who made experience very pleasant! Would definitely come back again!“
“The food was amazing and so was the seasoning. At first I was skeptical about the menu but when the food came it was soooo good. The menu is kinda limited and the pictures on my menu were off so I thought I was getting one thing but it was different apparently but it didn’t matter because it soooooooooooo good anyway! Would definitely recommend!?“
“This is THE best spicy tofu soup restaurant in NJ. Palisades Park location is my favorite because their soups are perfectly delicious and flavorful and it has just the right amount of spice that is appropriate for each level. The Bibimbop and Galbi tang are also tasty non-tofu options. Their appetizers are also really good especially the seafood pancake and corn cheese which are my favorites! The ambience feels like home with a cozy atmosphere, and the service at this location is always excellent! Palisades Park location never disappoints out of all of the locations in NJ!“
“This BBQ restaurant offers good flavors, though it's not spicy enough for those who prefer their food with a kick. The overall taste leans towards a sweet and spicy blend typical of Korean BBQ. It's a suitable choice for those who aren't fond of spicy food.This BBQ restaurant tastes good but not spicy enough for those who like spicy food. The overall taste tends towards the sweet and spicy taste of Korean barbecue.“
“All around very good. Wide selection of meat from beef, pork to chicken. Marinated, non marinated and spicy versions also available. They also offer a nice selection of sides like Korean soups, salads, steamed egg and variety of side dishes. The most unique aspect of O2 is the cast iron cook top that the meats are cooked on. Overall the quality of meat was good for all u can eat place. Don't forget to step outside and enjoy the fantastic view of Manhattan. Use the exit opposite main entrance.“
“Went here on a Sunday, service was top notch, there also wasn't many people. The Waiter was very nice, helpful, and energetic. The food was very delicious! The Arroz Chaufa, Grilled Chicken, and Fries that my family ordered were the best of the best. If I could give this Restaurant more than 5 stars, I would. Definitely Recommend for anyone trying to look for delicious food!Kid-friendliness: Atmosphere is very calm and of the many times I've visited this Restaurant, I always see a family or two dining.Wheelchair accessibility: At the Door Entrance, there is a ramp accessible for People in Wheelchairs.“
“Great food very well made and very nice owners. I’d say the chef is really passionate about his food.”. I don’t leave very close but I frequently find a way to stop by and enjoy their food and usually take some extra food away. The menu is definitely authentic Romanian, although there are a few Central European specialities and American style items as well for those interested.“
“I have been coming to Pig Heaven for years. It’s one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in NYC. Everything I have had here is amazing! While I love their specialties, roast pork spare ribs and roast pork butt, their veggie dishes are equally fantastic.My go-to’s are their wonton soup, soup dumplings, prawns with broccoli, and roast pork fried rice.Service is fantastic! Mandy is “the mayor” she knows everyone and greets one with a warm welcome and attentive care. Everybody loves Mandy, she is the sweetest. Everyone who works here is kind, friendly, and helpful.You know the food is good when you eat a huge meal, but you’re also looking at everyone else’s plates for future inspiration.I’m grateful for Pig Heaven!!“
“The staff is friendly, the food is good and a sizable portion. The bar staff is always more than willing to give the customers the remote so they can change the channels to watch a game or show. They also approach the customers and ask if they would like a particular style of music to be played.“
“Quick and easy lunch, waited for about 5-10mins before food was ready. I had the sesame steak which was flavoured nicely, I would happily eat it without the sauce but didn’t because their sauce is great! Portion size good, value for money as there is a good amount of meat included. Staff were also friendly when served.“
“Hang Ah Ri makes food from the heart that is nourishing and delicious! The food is presented with care and great taste. The donkatsu is super satisfying and the sujebi is hand torn too. The mushroom don is a little sweet but still a good vegetarian option. The atmosphere is calm and service attentive. Would recommend!“
“The Hudson Smoke House is a hidden gem. All the food is amazing. The place has a great atmosphere and is always clean. The staff is great and takes really good care of you making everyone feel like regulars. Bar is always well stocked and the game is always “
“I loving everything. So delicious and fresh. The flavors melt in your mouth.. everything is done perfect with so much delicious taste. Everyone is so nice. And the place looks very nice and clean. I definitely be back. My son lovedddd the food too.. is really is so delicious. ?❤️“
“????????????????The food is delicious. The service is perfect. They make you feel at home. You want some really good ribs, check this place out. You won’t be disappointed. The onion rings and potatoe salad is insane as well. ????????????????“
“We stopped here on our way home from NYC. The food was good. I had the Yum Yum Shrimp Bowl. The shrimp was great as was the Yum Yum Sauce and I appreciated getting some veggies in with the broccoli, the rice was a touch bland, perhaps overpowered by the Yum Yum sauce.. They had a gender neutral bathroom which was clean. The service was great with friendly staff. It was a great stop after escaping the city traffic to grab a bite at a reasonable price, use a clean restroom, and not loose too much travel time because of the convenience of the location.“
“We had Smokin’ Joes cater my daughter’s family birthday party and everything was truly outstanding! We ordered the ribs, brisket, wings, Mac and cheese, and beans. They delivered everything hot and right on time. It was an incredibly smooth and transparent process from ordering to delivery. Our family can’t wait to order from Smokin’ Joes again!“
“Just land at Newark and stumbled across this restaurant. The staff quickly seated all 10 of us. They first served the complimentary tofu, kimchi, pickled veggies. I had the dumpling soup, which was spot on because I was feeling a little under the weather. Others had the spicy beef soup, short ribs soup, bibimbop, and fish. The food is so good!! We were surprised to get such good food for such a reasonable price. The only slightly negative is the we asked for separate checks but instead the split the bill evenly into 2 checks. When we explained the 2 people were on one order, they quickly fixed the mistake.“
“Very good attention and service provided by the manager and the waitress Karla. The quality of the meat is excellent and very reasonably priced, the mains and sides are great. It was the first time I went and without a doubt it will not be the last.“
“Our first dining experience was amazing. I took my husband for impromptu date nite and our waiter Armando was fantastic. His recommendations and knowledgeable advice was very welcoming. His service was fast and no errors. He was also training another server at the same time. We will definitely be back for another visit to try other things. Definitely a good time“
“I have been to Oklahoma several times so I was skeptical. Omg the best rib tips ever. The ribs are expertly seasoned, a heavy ground pepper and salt rub. Smoked for a long time. Comes with delicious bbq sauce, three kinds. All house made. The quality is VERY HIGH. I prefer this to Dinosaur etc. Great price value. It is NOT like the chain restaurant microwave in bag type ribs. It is similar to what I ate in OKC and Texas. The people are very nice. Great take out place. You have to know what to order. Pulled chicken great too. Flavorful moist stuffing. Excellent chili. Wow!!!“
“Note: though this place is named Hanam BBQ, we cam for the sushi. This is one of the better sushi restaurants I've been to in Fort Lee. Caters to mostly Korean crowd which means they serve good fresh sashimi and sushi. Their side dishes were tasty and plentiful. I didn't order any BBQ dishes but will indulge on my return visit. This place gets crowded during meal time and does have few private rooms. Interestingly, this place is attached to a karaoke bar. So after eating ur meal, u can sing ur favorite karaoke tunes without leaving the place and ur calories off.What more can u ask for?“
“I BBQ and smoke meats at home but don't always feel like doing a 12hr brisket cook. Saw this place nearby and figured to give it a try. The Korean fixings on top of traditional BBQ went great. Got the brisket sandwich and it was delicious. Corn bread was really good too.Was expecting to order takeout but ended up sitting inside. They but had a decent amount of tables. It also had table service which was unexpected. Service was excellent and really appreciated the conversation and genuine help. Definitely will be going back.“
“Came on a Tuesday night for happy hour with $12 select cocktails. There are two floors of space and we were seated immediately. The cocktails are premixed so you can't request changes. The Chardonnay didn't taste too great. I liked the cucumber gimlet though. Service could take awhile. You can order through the server or mobile.“
“The food is fresh and full of flavor. I'm a fan of sondubu and thus far, I have not been disappointed. It is a spot that is frequented by Koreans, so it has a sort of "down home" feel to it. They are not concerned with appealing to the American palate...which is great!“
“The food is always amazing, unique and generous portion size.Recently did a sheva brachos in house, and the owner and staff outdid themselves. They were attentive, accommodating and responsive. Also added some fish entrees for those who requested. They even set up Spotify Jewish music for us! The guests were comfortable and happy, and the restaurant did everything we contracted and more. Leftovers were packed nicely and efficiently for distribution. We would definitely do this again!Wheelchair accessibility: street level access“
