    Austin Cho 1.0

    Came back a second time and I had the empanadas of the day which were brisket and a pork belly rice bowl. The empanadas are stellar! Big, not greasy and packed withmeaty deliciousness. The pork belly bowl is outstanding with lots of flavors, textures and temperature. An excellent option to taste his creativity if you don't want a sandwich.

    While I was said to see Kimchi Smoke go away I was thrilled that Chef Austin Cho opened a new place. Although a bit far from home I ordered online and made the journey to Austin Cho Kitchen. It's a tiny storefront where you can see the man himself cooking away. Very friendly service. Easy online ordering and it was ready when I got there. We got the Brussels sprouts (outstanding), French fries, Cajun fries, and kimchi. All good but I'd go regular fries over Cajun next time. We got the pork belly xxx sandwich which was fantastic. We also got the brisket Sammie and the pulled pork sandwich. They were both delicious. The quality of the meat and the fresh veggies and sauces are simply the best. Wish it was closer but I will be back for sure. Limited seating on stools inside but I want to eat in so I can get a Cho nut. Love the chef and his cooking rocks. Street parking available. Must try in my book.

    Choripan's meat is ALWAYS a 100/10! Literally have taken so many of my friends & everyone has been…read moremindblown! They always get the meat perfectly cooked to ur taste & the portions go crazy + their chimichurri... so good The beet salad is super refreshing and although not a part of side options u can choose from when getting these platters, the YUCCA FRIES... ADD IT ON! The BEST yucca fries in the area (not to greasy and almost tastes like a mozzarella stick?! i always order it... and everyone again has been mindblown) Also, unpictured but their sangria is amazing as well (def on the stronger side...just the way I like it & again, they go heavy with the portions) Service is amazing and the staff is SUPER friendly / vibes give a sports bar vibe!

    Choripan Rodizio 10 Sussex St…read more Hackensack, NJ 07601 Empanadas Buenos Aires Salad Argentinian Grill for Two Grilled Sea Food With Lobster Seafood Mix With Rice Appearance: 10/10 Taste: 8.1/10 Located on Sussex St near the Bergen County Courthouse is an Argentinian specialty restaurant. Owner Pablo and his staff introduced me to five of the most popular items on the menu. Empanadas: These Argentinian turnovers come in five flavors: Beef, Chicken, Caprese, Spinach, Ham & Cheese. Have one or have them all; the choice is yours! Buenos Aires Salad: This may be an appetizer, but this salad practically eats like a meal. My favorite toppings were the avocado and shrimp. I don't have an acquired taste for hard boiled eggs; but everything else was perfect. Argentinian Grill for Two: Although this barbecue is meant for two, it can easily serve three people. This carnivorous entrée is filled with all of your favorite proteins including skirt steak, blood sausage, Argentinian sausage, and beef ribs. All meats are cooked with wooden charcoal so it has that authentic hint of wooden flavor. As a bonus, this entrée is served on a table grill with charcoal. Grilled Sea Food With Lobster: You won't need to travel down the shore for seafood when you explore this dish. It has all of your favorite dishes from under the sea. Seafood Mix With Rice: Here is a variation of the previous entrée except everything is served over a heaping pile of yellow rice. If you are fan of soccer, this is definitely a perfect hang out spot. The walls are adorned with beautiful wall art and souvenirs praising the highly appreciated international sport. It was a pleasure exploring Argentinian cuisine in this fine dining establishment. #choripan #choripanrodizio #hackensacknj #seafoodmix #grilledseafood #argentiniangrill #empanadas #buenosairessalad #foodstagram #njfoodie #localbusiness

    I was so excited to try this place out because a few fellow Ecuadorians had recommended it to me…read more My brother ordered take out on a Friday afternoon/lunch time. He was able to order easily and the food was given to him in a reasonable amount of time. They have color printed menus with nice photos for each dish. I ordered the bolon verde with chicharrón. When I started eating I noticed there was no chicharrón but I kept going thinking I was encounter it soon. I got halfway through the bolon and found all the chicharrón had been packed in the center of the bolon. On top of that, all of the chicharrón was burnt to a crisp. I laughed because it honestly felt like a prank. I'm not sure how much my brother paid but no price was worth what I received. My brother ordered grilled chicken, rice and beans. My sister had a beef empanada. They liked their items and had no issues. Given that my siblings items were okay I cannot say I wouldn't recommend this place at all. I just wouldn't recommend the bolons from this place. There are other Ecuadorian places in the same neighborhood (walking distance from this place!!) that serve bolons consistently well made. I hope that they are consistent with their other dishes and no one strikes out like I did.

    If I can give them 10 stars, I would. Beef ribs are freaking delicious!! My son said charcoal…read morechicken is good. The prices are good. My only complaint is they did not have shrimp ceviche, or sopa de bolas on menu.

    THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Food served here is solid. ++++ Lunch Special BBQ Chicken with Caggage & Potatoes + Jerk Chicken with Fried Plantains & Mac & Cheese were all tasty. Lots of good flavors on all of it. ++++ Lunch Specials have good variety to choose from + 2 sides - fried chicken, jerk chicken, baked chicken, BBQ chicken, etc. ++++ Lunch Specials are $10 (as of January 2026), but some items are $1ish more. + Noticed that the dinner special portions are definitely A LOT larger, but they are also pricier. + Plenty of seating inside. + Private parking lot in the back of the restaurant. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Dined from 12-12:30 on a Friday afternoon and it was empty inside when we arrived, however, it did get a little busier after we began eating.

    - Spacious fast-food spot with plenty of seating that extends deep into the restaurant…read more- We parked on the street out front, but noticed signage at the entrance indicating free parking is available in the rear - Restaurant was empty when we arrived for lunch around 12 p.m. on a Friday; the lunch crowd began to trickle in as we were eating - Loud hip-hop music playing in the background - Employee behind the counter was attentive and patient, walking us through the menu and pricing and taking the time to point out all available food options - Lunch special portions are on the smaller side; pricing differs from the advertised $10 on the menu, with certain items carrying an upcharge - Food was decent but served barely warm: Jerk Chicken ($1.50 upcharge) had a subtle kick, though I would've preferred more heat; the BBQ Chicken (leg and thigh) was coated in a mild sauce, but the meat underneath the skin was bland; sides were hit or miss--sweet plantains were moist and tender with a slight char, cabbage was nicely seasoned, mac and cheese was very basic, and the roasted potatoes were overly salty - Overall a decent spot for a quick bite with good service and some solid sides, but small portions, pricing clarity, and food temperature leave room for improvement

    This place is such a good AYCE spot! Great variety, clean, and great service. Our waiter was Joseph…read moreand he was so incredibly friendly and helpful. He was going back and forth to so many tables and still having convos with everyone. Shout out to JoJo! You can do hot pot, kbbq, or both. It's also byob, so that's great. They provide the same cups as all the other drinks. Limited slushies from their machine. However, my favorite section of this place is their banchan and other hot foods selection. There's marinated wings, japchae, kimbap, stews, stirfry, tteokbokki, etc. For dessert, there's soft serve and bingsu! FYI, they don't have those large vents usually above the tables during kbbq, so make sure you're not going anywhere afterwards that minds you smelling like bbq. Located in a shopping area, so plenty of parking! Definitely will be visiting again!

    Every year on New Year's Day, my friend and I meet up for lunch since we are the only ones in NJ…read more It's always an Asian restaurant since they're typically the only ones who are open. Neither of us tried the Moon yet so we decided to check it out. I was able to easily make a reservation via Yelp for 6 people for 12:30 (4 adults + 2 toddlers). For the most part, we already knew what we wanted to order, so we placed an order for the BBQ items and hot pot meats first. Only the meats are the items you need to order. Everything else, you grab at the buffet - including seafood, fish balls, veggies, and noodles. The BBQ items are just okay, but that tends to be the case with you have hot pot + BBQ. The hot pot beef was good but the lamb was super gamey, which turned my broth into a gamey lamb flavor, making everything else I cooked in there have a trace of that too. Bottom line - skip the lamb. As for the buffet, they have a lot of options. Aside from the typical hot pot items, they also have some Korean dishes like kimbap, japchae, kimchi, as well as some fried items. I don't think I liked the Moon enough for a return trip. It's also slightly pricier than other hot pot + KBBQ spots, so I think I'll check out some of the other ones next time.
