I opted for the mushroom soup and it was pretty flavorful. There are a variety of vegetables, meat, seafood, noodles, etc. to choose from. Some of my favorites include scallops, dumplings, udon, and fishballs. There is also a birthday freebie but you have to bring 3 other people with you. For $32 AYCE, it wasn't bad at all! I would return.

Coordinating a group that size is never easy, but the staff was very accommodating they kept things moving, checked in often, and made sure we had what we needed. The food was a1. From the grill the short rib was the star! the hot pot miso soup was everything and satisfying just what I needed to combat the cold weather. There was plenty to go around, and the interactive cook-it-yourself vibe made it perfect for a group celebration. Definitely one of those meals where everyone is talking, laughing, and tasting a little bit of everything. That said, there were a few notes. A couple of items were brought out that we didn't order, which caused a bit of confusion at the table. Nothing major. Even with that, the experience was fun and delicious overall, and I genuinely had a great time celebrating here.

For all you can eat, the pricing is unreal and the quality of meats to choose from is fantastic. There are so many options for side dishes as well including soup, noodles, steamed egg, and more. Service was great and it was so easy to get a table on a weekday. I wish there was a bit more business for them because it was such a great meal. I would highly recommend this spot for kbbq as it is affordable and also delicious. The ambiance is spacious and quiet. Two thumbs up!

This is the only Asian place for me in Bayonne. Steamed chicken dumplings - absolutely delicious…read more Fried shrimp - scrumptious (they make their own tartar sauce which is better than any store-bought brand I've tried). Their ribs are soft and tender (not stringy/burnt). Shrimp with snow peas in brown sauce - terrific. The owners and staff go out of their way to be accommodating. Everything is out in the open (no closed curtains that make one wonder what's going on behind them). VERY IMPORTANT TO ME: While waiting for my food, the NJ State Inspector came in to do his job. He said to me as he was leaving, "This is the cleanest place in Bayonne that I've inspected." They were so crowded recently that I wondered how they maintained the quality of food, their friendliness, and their quick pace. I'll leave it that I've not yet been disappointed in anything, whether the food, service, ambiance, and I've often eaten there vs take-out because I couldn't wait to get home to eat my Asian cuisine!

A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

Mediocre food and very slow service!…read more This place was a disappointment for what I hoped from a highly rated ramen place in the area. The service was quite slow, almost waited 1 hour for entrees to be brought to the table. It's a small place with limited staff working everything. The food was fairly basic. The fried rice seemed to be bland and below par despite ordering the spicy version. My friend who ordered the ramen liked the soup but the meat was not fully cooked and felt chewy.

"Probably has weak food"…read more Passed by the spot because next-door there's a really good Spanish food spot and I thought to myself this place probably has some weak food wrong again. The Mango chicken is always fresh and juicy as well as my personal favorite in the drunken noodles. It doesn't even need a protein. They had a deal where if you spend over $30 you get a free roll and this meal comes just to that amount.

My go-to order? 3 sweet potato rolls with spicy mayo + tofu pad thai. Whether it's take out or dine in, the food and service is always consistent. Yes, they're still BYOB and yes, you can redeem a free Bayonne roll with a certain purchase when dining in. The restaurant is cozy and a bit small with under 10 tables I would say. It can get busy but I've never visited when there was a line out the door. Majority of customers order for take out here. Parking is a hit or miss. There's been days I find a spot right away and days where I am circling so just keep that in mind. LOVE Wasabi Thai thank you!

Super cute small local business that sells "homemade" Korean kimchi with a small weekly menu…read more It is located in a cross section of Bay Ridge Avenue and Colonial Road next to a pizzeria. They specialize in a variety of jarred kimchi that you normally see in grocery stores. The price per jar is anywhere between $10-$15. They also have a weekly (changing) menu offering Korean homemade soups and lunch. I got a pork kimchi ($13 after taxes) and it was delicious. This brought up so much childhood memories of a time when my dad worked at a local Cheung Fun place in Chinatown. You feel something inside that you don't normally get when you go to a crowded / fancier restaurant. It feels like "home" in a sense. I love a small business like Kimchi Kooks Kate's Kitchen because it adds characters to the local business. :) The staff are friendly and because there is an open kitchen, you can see them make your food. Although no seating, you can always grab the food and get a slice of pizza next door and have a meal at the pizzeria's outdoor seating. :)

This was such a cute little gem tucked away on the quieter end of Bay Ridge Ave. I love that it's a…read morefamily-owned small business, and that they have (limited) hot options as well as packaged kimchi and banchan, along with some home goods and instant ramyun. I picked up a small jar of their classic white kimchi ($8.32), which I was so excited to try because white kimchi is traditionally made with pine nuts and it's difficult to find a nut-free version at supermarkets. I thought the kimchi had a pleasant tang, though it was a little savorier than I expected. The variety of banchan was also excellent-- I counted 21 different dishes as well as 4 different types of sauces. I picked up a miyeok and dubu muchim ($8.32) which was a seaweed salad tossed with firm tofu crumbles. I intended to eat it for dinner, but I finished the whole container before I got home because it was so addictive and delicious. If you have any questions, a staff member is at hand but everything is neatly labeled with an explanation of ingredients. Their kitchen is open on Wed-Sun so I'd love to return to try a weekend special, which rotates on a weekly basis. Kimchi Kooks is located a short walk away from Owl's Head Park and the pier, so I would definitely recommend grabbing a few banchan to-go if the weather is nice! PS- A staff member kindly let me know that all the kimchis are nut-free and that if you bring the glass jar back, you get $1 off your next purchase.

Highly rated noodle house and I agree with the five star reviews. My first time here so I went with…read moreone of the more popular menu items. The cashier recommended the braised beef and noodles - not spicy and with regular egg noodles (not rice). They prepared the dish quickly with enough for two people or leftovers. The packaging was very professional - two compartments to keep the broth separate & noodles fresh. Let's talk about the broth - it was rich, delicious and packed with flavor. One of the best broths I've had in a long time - complex and addictive. I can see why they get so many five star reviews! Atmosphere- Attractive design and decor. The cashier was very sweet and friendly. The space was small, not a lot of seating, so I took it to go- not a problem because they packaged it perfectly (see video). Great restaurant experience - the price was under 20$ including tax and a soda.

Dry pot is a Chinese stir fry dish of meat and vegetable, meant to be eaten over rice. Often shared with friends family style.

Vegetables: It includes a mix of vegetables like mushrooms, bokchoi, napa cabbage, mung bean sprouts, and green onions. Proteins: thinly sliced beef, fried tofu, tofu skin and fish cakes. Plenty more on the menu to explore. Service was efficient and I did notice many signs in the restaurant were in both English and Chinese. The details of the space are eye catching. Wood textures were beautiful. Whoever designed this compact space used it well.
