Austin Cho and Kimchi Smoke
John B.

A master on the Q. A creative chef with many influences.. Put him together what Do you have?? great food No actually amazing food

Brussels sprouts
Scott S.

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.

Food is amazing, quick and great tasting…read more Service is quick and kind and spot on. The ambiance is chill and relaxed. No stress and ok seating Parking is a bit difficult, but a great spot to grab and go.

Upon arrival, I realized this is mostly a takeout spot. They have an enclosed outdoor seating area with 3 tables & bar seating but even the inside has just enough space to order and step back outside. We went with the Boneless Heaven Medium Package. I will say they nailed the packaging & presentation and I love the idea of getting multiple flavors so every bite feels different. The chicken was crispy, tender, and fresh! It's not fried Korean-style but the flavors are definitely more Korean-leaning. We got to try 5 of their flavors and I wish they had tossed the chicken into them. Instead they put the sauce on top and on the bottom so there were plenty of bites with no sauce at all unless you deliberately mixed it into the sauce. My favorite two were the Spicy Soy Garlic and Citrus Honey. The Truffle Fries were crispy, satisfying, and had a nice essence of truffle oil. The Pickled Radish was also a welcoming touch as it added freshness and a palate cleanser between bites. It was a good but probably just a one-time try for me personally!

Good Korean restaurant in Hackensack! Reminds me of Korea everytime I go here!…read more Location: It is located inside Hackensack Commons. Very simple restaurant, inside are lot of seating, very casual. Service: not much interaction, we just ordered and food came really fast. Food: Everything was good to be honest, nothing is a miss here. SEAFOOD PANCAKE: this is soo good! Lot of bits of seafood inside! Very delicate, dip it in the sauce and its so perfect. BEEF SHORT RIBS BENTO: the short rib is well seasoned and grilled perfectly. The rice is well cooked and the japchae was delicious. I wish there is more dressing on the salad tho. Tempura and fried dumpling was fried into perfection. CHICKEN KATSU: the katsu was fried well, best to dip it on the curry sauce. Not much breading so its good. SAMPLER PLATTER: shrimp tempura, fried dumpling and fried seaweed rolls. They are all good! Not fried too much. Crispy in the outside and soft inside. TOFU STEW: it came really really hot. Feels like a comfort food. If you are sick or just want something in your belly that is warm definitely get this. SIDE DISHES: there was a lot! Omg i got full eating the side dishes Price rating: 6/10. It was not expensive for the great food. Definitely will come back to try other foods they have. But definitely get the beef short rib bento!

I usually frequent their Palisades Park location, and I'm happy to report that their tofu soups never miss here either. They serve a wide variety of Korean stews, bibimbap, and Korean BBQ options. My personal go-to is always the beef or mushroom tofu stew, it's super comforting, flavorful, and the absolute perfect meal for a chilly day. The dining room itself is clean and spacious, making for a comfortable meal. Plus, the service is top-notch; the staff is exceptionally attentive, the food comes out fast, and they are quick to refill your banchan whenever you ask.

***this was at their other location…read more Even though the venue was small and there's limited seating, the food was so good. Best kimchi I've had in a while as well! The service was consistent, only once did we have to ask for refills for water. Food: we ordered the half and half raw marinated crab, bibimbap, abalone congee and fried oysters. Raw crabs: marinated and seasoned perfectly. We aren't a spicy loving family, but this was perfect amount for us that we could handle the spice. Our lips and mouths burned, but the good tingle, not the fire breathing 911 burn. lol Fried oysters: well battered and fried, nicely aromatic Abalone congee: perfectly textured and the abalone meat and taste was present. This helped offset the spiciness of the crabs. Bibimbap: not your average clay pot type, this was on a plate and with lots of green vegetables. Also delicious! The Bon chon was different and excellent. Variety of different vegetables, pickled and fermented. We enjoyed them all. FYI: there is a small parking lot as well

2nd time coming here. Small restaurant with a few tables. Thankfully when we came (Saturday…read moreevening), there was one table available and it was the same table as last time! Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

First of all I love that they have self-serve broth, like the naengmyun restaurants in Korea. And the seollungtang and bibim naengmyun were delicious. We devoured our meals here. I crave this restaurant and wish I lived closer.

Kim Ga Meon Ok is a fantastic, relatively affordable Korean spot and definitely a local favorite!…read moreThey have two locations (one in Fort Lee and this one in Palisades Park), but I usually visit the Pal Park location right across from King Sauna on Commercial Ave. The setup here is entirely self-service. You order at the front and pick up your food when it's ready. It's actually a really convenient system, and since there is no table service, there's no expectation to leave a gratuity. The food itself is consistently good. The parking lot is very, very small and shared with the cafe next door, so parking can be a squeeze. Because it's so popular, it gets very busy during prime dining hours. Even when I've ordered takeout, there can sometimes be a decent wait to get your food so I recommend order online or over the phone ahead. They do charge a little extra if you pay with a credit card to cover the fees. If you visit during the summer months, you absolutely have to try the Naeng Myeon (cold noodle soup) or the Bibim Naeng Myeon (spicy cold noodles). They really hit the spot and are incredibly refreshing. Highly recommend!

Really satisfying Korean comfort food and everything we ordered came out hot and generous…read more The jokbal was definitely one of the highlights -- tender, flavorful, and not overly fatty. It came with plenty of sides and sauces, which made it easy to eat different ways. The sundae was also very good and had a nice texture without being too heavy. We also ordered the gamjatang, which was rich, spicy, and packed with pork bones and vegetables. The broth had a lot of depth and was perfect for sharing. The seolleongtang was the opposite in the best way -- mild, clean, and comforting, with plenty of beef and noodles. Portions are big, the banchan were fresh, and this is definitely the kind of place I'd come to when craving hearty, traditional Korean food. Great for sharing with a group.

If you're craving comforting Korean food, this spot is worth checking out. Jeyuk Bokkeum | Korean Spicy Pork is a MUST ORDER. Tender slices of pork stir-fried in a bold, spicy-sweet Korean sauce is Grilled Mackerel Crispy and beautifully charred on the outside, while the inside stays tender, juicy, and full of savory flavor. A squeeze of fresh lemon makes it even brighter and more refreshing. Definitely a must-order at To Sok Chon A comforting classic Korean soups are warm, satisfying, and a must-try at To Sok Chon.

I was craving Korean food the other week and my girlfriend suggested Bunsik Nara. I had never been…read moreso of course I was down to go. We went around 5:30PM so a pretty early dinner and there weren't too many other people eating. It did start to get busy when we were leaving though. The service was fairly quick and the place itself is clean and bright. I got the Chicken Mayo Dupbab, basically chicken katsu over rice. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and delicious. It all paired perfectly with the white rice it was served over. My girlfriend got the ribs with eggs and kimchi fried rice. That was really good too. The kimchi rice wasn't overwhelmingly kimchi-flavored and the ribs were super tender. We also split some cold buckwheat noodles. Those were pretty average to me, but I still enjoyed them. My only gripe is that Bunsik Nara is a little pricey.

For neurodivergent folks, it is on brighter side with LED lighting and TVs along one of the walls (just a heads up!) I loved the kimchi and the salad panchan, I couldn't help but order more! Great palate cleansers. The gimbap was generous with their filling. The odeng was very warming to the soul and had a good amount of fishballs. The boneless chicken was also a good portion size and super tasty. The chicken was juicy and the scallions were fresh. The above order was more than enough for 4 people; no take home portions, but we definitely were hungry. If I could order something else to try the next time I go, I would family style their tteokbokki or their carbonara spaghetti since I was eyeing on them the entire time!
