TLDR: Small local Korean shop in Palisades Park. They got a little bit of everything but for me - two things stood out. The ssam platter brisket or spicy pork is best and the nakji bokkeum. Wowies. Came here with the in-laws and wow, what a place. It's small and just a local joint people go to eat but the stuff they do well, they do well. The ssam platter has a massive assortment of veggies. Probably more than 10 different choices. We got the beef brisket but had we not had the stir-fried spicy pork earlier in the day, that's what we would have had. Grab a lettuce or veggie wrap, some rice, some sauce and the meat. The nakji bokkeum is probably the best I've ever had. It's actually spicy, tender octopus chunks, bouncy udon noodles. It's cooked in a sizzling platter table-side. I have been thinking about this dish ever sicne we went. read more

Typical Korean place on Bergen Blvd. away from the noisy heavy traffic Broad Avenue. We always order the veggie wrap - whole array of veggies either with bulgogi (beef) or stir-fried pork. Please choose stir-fried pork !!!! It's much better !!!! (Bulgogi is also good, but since most Koreans go to the pork, it's usually not frozen and prepared right away. The bulgogi was definitely frozen and mushed too much to cook. The pieces were all choppy and tiny. The vegetable wrap is what makes the dish feel healthy. The spicy octopus (we asked for least spicy) is very well cooked. Not too much. Not too chewy. So soft !!!!!! After we finish the octopus dish, add rice to the sauce and enjoy it even more ~~ read more

This place was a great find. It was crowded for lunch on a Friday. Service was a little slower as it seemed like there was just one server. But she was friendly although she was obviously stressed. We chose here because of the spicy blue crabs since most restaurants in that area that serve marinaded crabs do just soy sauce ones. It did not disappoint! So good. However, it's not an ideal place to come with food allergies due to the language barrier and they didn't seem to know the ingredients. read more

BapEeRang - Spicy raw blue crab - Korean Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Craving a warm authentic Korean food, we landed on BapEeRang with our large party with no wait on a Sunday night. The restaurant felt very homely and was run like a family restaurant. Most of the other guests spoke Korean. We were treated very well with great food and service despite none of us knowing Korean. The Banchan was really good - fish tofu, great kimchi, jalapeños with small fish, broccoli, and lettuce. We got the stir fried pork combo meal with kimchi stew, galbi combo meal with soybean stew, spicy octopus bibimbap dolpan (dolpan is a sizzling hot stone plate), seafood pancake, and budae jjigae (army stew). The food was absolutely fantastic - The flavor was there and my party had an amazing meal! The only thing I wished was if the army stew had tteobokki - Overall, we were very pleased with the value, quality, and tastiness of our meal. Better Korean food (and value!) than NYC Koreantown food! read more

Weird how it seems like the reviews are like Jekyll and Hyde here, as I've visited this place multiple times and never had a single instance of rude or service or lousy food. What I always love about coming here is not only the homey-vibe of the food, but also the consistency of it and the overall experience as well. For me this place checks a lot of boxes. The food as I mentioned is homey and well prepared. It's consistently good and the restaurant itself has always been very clean and a cozy place to grab a nice lunch or dinner. It's also not a huge place, so it doesn't get super crazy in here, which is nice for me at least as someone who enjoys a relatively quiet meal. I usually get the kalbi set with tofu soup, which are both tasty and the latter being just right, not too spicy not too salty. I've also had the seafood pancake here which is very good, as well as the brisket which is good but the portion is very big, so keep that in mind. The latter is better as a dish for 2-3 people for sure. I'm also a big fan of their very fresh banchan options. It's not some huge variety but they always have been good with refills. The servers here have always been very friendly to me and my family. It's hard to envision the folks who work here being rude to anyone based on the several visits I've had, but that's my own experience and I'm sticking to it. They have a small parking lot but it generally is enough to fit everyone since the restaurant itself isn't big but I always love how quaint and cozy it is inside. I think this is a nice neighborhood gem that's definitely worth checking out if you're into cozy homey Korean food. read more

Purely based on the food, loved the marinated crabs. Thought it would be grainy with the gochujang sauce but it was really good that I had to mix some of that sauce with my rice. Also has their tendon soup and the tendons were cooked really well/soft yet with enough chewiness. As I only tried 2 things here, saving a star for the future when I go back to try their other dishes. The staff were so nice and attentive. read more

If you are looking for a hot korean dinner that's healthy and satisfies a family dinner this is the place to go. We ordered the dogani tang, galbi combo, bibimbap on dolsot, and jaeyook bokeum. Dogani tang didn't need additional salt it was just right. The dogani was chewy and bite sized. Galbi was fire grilled to perfection. Bibimbap on hot stone plate was fresh. Jaeyook bokeum was well marinated. There was plenty of seating around 7pm. They have a parking lot but it's small. It looks like a cafe on the outside, you wouldn't know it's a restaurant until you go in. read more

Great restaurant serving an assortment of Korean dishes, which all felt comforting and homestyle. There's something about the kimchi here that I love, and their kimchi stew is also so thick and flavorful! I tried the raw spicy marinated crab here for the first time and ended up loving the spicy gelatinous pieces. Bibimbap was delicious - felt like a simple yet perfect comfort food. The small complimentary banchan dishes were also plentiful, and I appreciated that they gave a good amount to our table of two. Everything tasted fantastic, and I'd happily return for a casual lunch or dinner. read more

Another yelp find which hubster and I ended up trying since they allowed us to bring our dog for outdoor seating when we called to ask lol When we arrived parking was almost full and we were glad that the staff actually went out of their way to assist us finding a spot! They were very friendly and accommodating. When I checked the photos prior for outdoor seating there were 3 spots then but i guess now since we have indoor dining available, there was only one outdoor spot available. It actually worked for us since we brought our pup and it was like a little enclosure. For this visit we tried their seafood pancake and bibimbaps. The pancake was delicious as usual, and the banchans had very nice flavor. I enjoyed the kimchi very much! I liked that there was a hint of sweetness to it. For the bibimbaps both our orders of octopus and pork belly were very flavorful and delicious! Portions were very generous too! Everything we ate then was very enjoyable. We're glad we found this place and gave it a shot! Was definitely worth it! read more

Quite delicious overall! Had the mushroom doran and the short rib combo and both were extremely tasty. Expected this to be more hole-in-the-wall, but it's pleasantly nice. Service was great and fast too. Overallnalazing, particularly for picking a random place to stop while driving toward the Turnpike. read more

loved bapeerang - stopped by as a weekend lunch after a night out and it hit the spot! the food: i recommend the gamjatang over all - the mukenji jjim was pretty good but small in portion, but the other stew was so flavorful and also the stew itself was spicy in a way that i haven't experienced elsewhere! the service: quick and kind! not much to say here. the space: pretty big and wasn't too busy when i came in read more

Ordered the dolpan spicy pork. It was a little less than $20. I expected the restaurant to cook the rice and everything on the flat stone and then put it in the to go container but the rice didn't have any of that crispy ness that you'd expect from the flat stone hot rice. Food was okay. I would not order to go from here again. read more

BapEeRang - Spicy octopus dolpan and jaeyuk bokkeum with deonjang jjigae and cabbage soup - Korean Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

I must say this was one of the better korean food I tasted in a while. The dangjang was probably one of the best in this area in my opinion. The banchan tasted very authentic and made by someone who is obviously experienced. So why the 4 star? I think many of the single serving dishes were more on the expensive side. Noodles 15$ , soups in the 15 range is kind of steep for a single serving dish for this area. Furthermore for the price of the dishes, if they provided more variety of side dishes, I wouldn't mind the price. Would I come here again? Probably, the food is that good and I want to try their other dishes and hope for better side dish read more

Will go again - Bap ee rang is one of the best Korean restaurants I ate at. My friends and I ordered many different items: spicy stir fried pork combo with kimchi stew, raw marinated crab combo, LA beef short ribs combo with fermented bean stew, korean seafood pancake, mukeunji marinated chicken stew with aged kimchi. Majority of the choices were absolutely delicious. They had very good seasoning and marinate for how they should be cooked. Savory, spicy, sweet...all the taste senses were on point. With korean food, korean side dishes follow. These are a main compliment to main dishes. They had a variety of side dishes and it was all tasty. The interior is spaced out given COVID. At the time I visited, it was late so there wasn't much people at all. The parking lot has about 7 spaces or so. However, it is a bit tight. Highly recommend this place. read more

This was the first outdoor dining we have done since covid and it's the only place so far that we feel safe returning to. Their menu isn't huge but it's a well rounded amount of selections to choose from. The food is delicious without being overwhelmingly spicy. Side dishes vary, which is nice if you want to try something new each time. There's an occasional fly here and there but where there is food outdoors there's bound to be pesky insects. Service was friendly. Bathrooms are big and clean. They also have an additional sink right outside them if you don't feel comfortable during these times with public bathrooms. Definitely our go to place when we are in the area. read more

first time here at this korean restaurant. loved it!! i got the spicy octopus udon (big enough for two people), which comes with rice and soup!! and they have a lunch and dinner special that comes with 1 soybean or kimchi stew and 1 menu item. we got the grilled mackerel and soybean stew. the spicy octopus udon wasn't too spicy and paired well with the soup and rice :) i loved the mackerel, it has some bones in it but not too difficult to eat. it comes with a piece of lemon that u can squeeze over the fish there are also side dishes too!! if ur craving yummy authentic korean food, i'd def recommend this place!! read more

For a while this was our favorite Korean restaurant in the area. We ordered Ssambap as usual, and it came with a long hair mixed in with beef and onions on the plate. I complained to the lady, and she said "Where is it? I can't see it myself." She took it back to the kitchen must have confirmed with someone with better eyesight, and said "I am very sorry. We will make a new one for you!" I asked her if it would take too long, she said it should be quick because there aren't too many diners right now. And guess what? A few minutes later she came with the same plate minus the portion of the meat that touched the hair. You cannot deceive your lone time customer. We are not coming back here again! People, watch for hair when you order food from here. read more

Atmosphere: Cozy, family- friendly place. This place attracted an older crowd on a weekday night. Seems like a if you know- you know spot! Food: The flavors of everything were amazing. The raw marinated crab was yummy, but the full portion was a bit much for two people. The mandu had an amazing fry. The kimchi stew was delicious as well. Service: They were friendly, nothing special though. read more

The chicken ginseng soup here is one of my favorite dishes anywhere. We drive from far to have it. Come early to find a parking spot.

I normally do not write these kind of reviews unless it's really bad. Do NOT come here if you have small children. They were so annoyed with us when my 1 year old son dropped his noodles on the floor. We tried our best to clean it up. They clearly saw we needed more napkins but didn't bother to give it to us until I asked for more. When I got their attention and asked for napkins they gave me the biggest RBF while staring at the floor with such disgust. I've never felt so uncomfortable at a Korean restaurant like this. Never coming back here again! read more

They cut back a lot. The quality of the meat has gone down and portions smaller. The pork they used had a lot of fat and sides they give u very little. It was good at one point, but not anymore read more

Came today around 6:15, the place was half full but for some reason the waitress was super busy and rude. I wanted some Korean fresh raw crabs and ordered 3 other dishes. The waitress looked at us like why we ordered so little. There's 5 of us and 3 kids. The raw crab was disgusting, it was frozen inside. Def not fresh like it stated on the menu. Will not be back. read more

BapEeRang - Fresh raw crab - Korean Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

This is my go to place when I want Korean food with close friends.

Clean, spacious, and up-to-date finishings with booth seating at this really delicious Korean restaurant. I loved the banchan - they had cabbage, shirataki cakes in chili oil, pasta salad, spinach in soy/sesame dressing, sliced fish cakes (my favorite) and of course kimchi. They do a lunch special every day until 3 pm, so you save a couple of dollars from dinner prices. They have a really wide variety of less conventional dishes too, like raw marinated crab and pork knuckle stew. I got the raw marinated crab set lunch - there were maybe 3-4 crabs in there in a spicy marinade, and I chose the kimchi stew (could've went with the soybean stew) to go with it. I also didn't think I'd rave about the rice, but it was fluffy and light and the perfect accompaniment to all of that saucy goodness. read more

As a long time customer, I love their spicy crabs( with a slight sweet flavor, perfect), kimchi pork with tofu, scallion pancakes as well as Gamga tang, read more

This place doesn't deserve even one star. It's owner is so rude and place is dirty dirty. I have seen 2 dead flies under my seat. When I pointed out about flies, the response from owner was, " we cleaned floor this morning ". It was 8:21 pm when I noticed 2 flies read more

Terrible, expensive, and incredibly rude. If I'm going to pay Manhattan prices, I expect great service and food. The owner will chase after you if you don't leave a big tip, or if you leave a less than perfect review, rather than reflect on how they can make their restaurant better. read more

Their banchan choices are solid and I love that they give you a little soup when I didn't order soup dishes. I think that's very korean of them and considerate. Their spicy nakji bokkeum was right on the perfect spicy level. It was spicy but not too much where you would lose all the taste. It had good amount of veggies and udon noodle inside. I would totally order it again. I have eaten other dishes such as grilled mackerel set menu and dolpan bibim which were both very delicious. read more

I find the food here tasting fresh and clean. The first time was when we dined there about a year ago and tried the beef ssam. The side dishes were all good and fresh and they gave you a variety of leafy veggies to make the wrap. Recently I ordered the sam gae tang (Korean chicken soup) and braised kimchi and chicken (spicy but not too spicy). Both were very good; we especially enjoyed the chicken soup. It has deep flavor, which many places don't achieve. I'm glad that this soup is always on the menu. Most Korean places offer in the summer time. In fact, I'm picking up 2 orders of the soup to keep in the freezer. The owners are very friendly. This location had made restaurants come and go. I hope they will be successful here. read more

Definitely a semi-traditional korean restaurant. Most if not the entire menu was in korean but had family style dishes. We tried the korean army stew and spicy pork which was pretty good. Bon chon was the real winner here with many varieties such as potato salad, fish cake, kimchi, bean sprouts and more. Nice place to sit down without breaking the bank. Would definitely come with someone who could understand the menu as I am sure there is much better things to order than things we have tried over and over again. read more
