    Bulgogi bibimbap
    Sein S.

    I went out for dinner with friends on a Monday night, and we all had a great experience. I ordered the Bulgogi Bibimbap, while my friends tried the tofu and chicken varieties. Everyone really enjoyed their meals--the vegetables were seasoned perfectly, and you truly can't go wrong with a classic runny egg on top. The highlight was definitely the rice, which was perfectly crispy at the bottom of the bowl. It's a solid, reliable spot for a flavorful dinner, and the quality was consistent across all the different protein options we tried. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a well-executed, satisfying meal.

    My fiance and I went to this restaurant during dinner time. They have plenty of seating and nice decorations. I felt like they were a bit short staffed when I visited. It took a bit to get service despite the restaurant being less than half full. We ordered kimchi fried rice, chicken katsu, and tteokboki. I love the Kimichi fried rice. It was very flavorful. When I visit this restaurant again I'm going to order that dish again. I wanted to try other food that I saw on yelp but unfortunately they changed/edited their menu. Overall, it was a good experience. I really like how clean the restaurant is and it was good quality food.

    Food (4/5): Alright so some of the dishes are overpriced with dishes like the bulgogi being over $35 and most other dishes being in that $20-40 range, but the quality is solid. We got the kimchi fried rice, katsu chicken and tteokboki and all were great. My favorite was the katsu chicken which was crispy and had great sauce. Service (5/5): The restaurant seemed a bit understaffed but the people there were great and helpful. They were friendly and the food came out fast. Ambiance (5/5): Beautiful modern interior with nice booths, tables and a bar decor in the middle. There were also Halloween decorations with candies when we came.

    5 stars all around for food, service and ambiance. This is NOT a traditional kbbq place where you're seated around a grill. This is more of a fusion place where they grill dishes in the open kitchen and they're served to you. My group of 4 ordered the below and loved everything. Appetizers: grilled leek (anchovy, parsley, pistachio, Calabrian chili vinaigrette), scallion pancake (charred scallion pesto, calamari, shrimp, Parmesan) and house sausage (galbi pork and glass noodles). The flavors of everything were perfectly balanced and unique. Entrees: galbi for two, spicy pork bulgogi and kimchi fried rice. The meat was tender and flavorful. The bulgogi is served with corn tortillas, guacamole, tomato salsa and sour cream which was an interesting twist. Also, the kimchi fried rice was wasn't just your average kimchi fried rice you make at home. I was hesitant to order it but I'm glad we did. I would definitely come back here again to try more rice, noodle and seafood dishes. It's a decency sized space but I can see it getting popular fast so make a reservation while you still can!

    Super yummy new Korean spot in JC! Loved the Galbi and the ricotta toast!!! The vibe is great and the service is so good too.

    Tried takeout from this new Korean place under Urby (same owners as Domodomo) and located a few minutes walk from Journal Square Path. Staff was nice, though lunch takeout options were limited. Ordered cold noodles, donkatsu, and calamansi salad. Portions were generous--donkatsu came with two large pieces (a bit dry but tasty with the sauce). Cold noodles were crunchy and well-spiced, and the salad stood out with smoky shrimp and bright calamansi flavor. I think the vibe is more for drinks with friends and chill, but would love to come back and try the dinner menu! The galbi and samgyeopsal was on the takeout menu, but only available for dinner.

    I stopped in with my family without a reservation and we were able to be seated right away, though the restaurant was definitely a bit busy. Started with what the menu called "Spicy Corn Noodles". When it arrived, the waiter called them "Spicy Cold Noodles", which was disappointing. No corn in sight and when I translated the Korean characters, no corn goes into making these noodles, so it's just a misleading typo. These were fine and the portion size was pretty good, but I wouldn't have ordered them if the menu was correct. Looking up from there, the fries we ordered came out and they were absolutely perfectly crispy and seasoned, 10/10. Our Korean fried chicken wings then came out, also a very nice portion size, crispy and tasty but no flavor reminiscent of Korean wings, they're just good wings. For the main course, our Galbi for 2 came out. My husband mentioned a shellfish allergy and we were told that one sauce on the side included shrimp, no problem. When the platter came out however, there was a nice sized bubbling bowl of soup/stew which the waiter said was clam stew. Highly disappointing that this would be included without being mentioned on the menu or by the waiter, especially after discussing the allergy. As such a large component of the platter rather than just a small banchan, it should have been mentioned. The entire bowl remained untouched and sadly went to waste. The meat itself was very tasty, we all enjoyed it. The dessert sorbet was very good. I was interested in the Devil's Food cake, but as the description said "charcolate", I passed. Is it a charcoal/chocolate mix? Another typo? Didn't want to take the risk. BRBQ: please fix your menu Service was friendly and overall I'd recommend a visit.

    I've been wanting to try this place ever since it opened but never got around to it even though it's so close. Now that I've finally been, it's going to be dangerous because I'll want to come here every day. The food was incredibly tasty and flavorful and we didn't leave a single bite behind. The service was phenomenal and everyone was so kind. The ambiance and decor were also beautiful. Very hip and cool. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

    I ordered a large catering order from Kimchi guys for a company meeting, and it was INCREDIBLE!…read moreDavid Lee, the owner, was super accommodating and helped me order an appropriate amount for ~70 people for a "sampler plate" of everything on a Friday afternoon, talking me through all my options and helping me select the right foods. 1. Food was absolutely phenomenal, and so many employees gave raving compliments. We ordered vegetable mandu & beef mandu, Tteokbokki with Gochujang, and Kimchi - and it was all delicious. The mandu were flavorful and didn't even require a dipping sauce like so many dumplings, the Tteokbokki was spicy and chewy, and the kimchi was crunchy and amazing (their kimchi is made with Fish sauce). David (the owner) even made one order of the Tteokbokki vegan for us (without the fish cakes and cheese) without charge! 2. David was able to accommodate my last-minute order (ordered the Friday before, the event was the following Wednesday) and delivered exactly at the requested time (delivery to Chelsea in Manhattan at 3:30 PM). He texted and kept me updated, and the food was delivered hot and cleanly packaged. He made sure to tell me which items were which too so they could be labeled for allergens. 3. We had tons of leftovers and I put them out today (Thursday) for employees to take, and everything was just as tasty the next day. We immediately had a bunch of people lining up to get more once I made the announcement! All in all, this was a delicious choice and the only negative is that it isn't located closer to me! 11/10 would recommend (See some next-day photos of the amazing leftovers! Pictured is the Beef Mandu, Tteokbokki, and Kimchi)

    Prince & I feels less like a restaurant and more like being invited into someone's home for dinner…read more-- in the best way possible. From the moment we walked in, the owner personally seated us and ended up cooking our food himself. He has a quirky, memorable personality that adds to the charm of the whole experience. It's the kind of place where you can tell the food is made with intention rather than being rushed out of a big commercial kitchen. The dishes were packed with flavor and tasted very authentic. You can really tell the ingredients and spices are balanced the way Thai food should be -- bold, savory, a little spicy, and deeply satisfying. Everything we ordered had great texture and presentation as well. Overall, it was a unique dining experience with authentic flavors and a memorable host. If you're looking for a polished corporate restaurant this isn't it -- but if you want something personal, quirky, and genuinely delicious, Prince & I is absolutely worth visiting. Would definitely come back!!

    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.

    I've been to both the Montclair and Jersey City Ani Ramen locations, and honestly, they're pretty…read moresimilar in the best way. The main difference is that the JC spot has a full bar with awesome bartenders and really fun, creative drinks, while Montclair is BYOB. Both have great energy, but this review (and the drool-worthy photo attached) is for the downtown JC location. I'll admit it- I'm a creature of habit. I've been here more times than I can count, and I always order the vegan ramen. As is. No extras needed. It's just that good. The vegetable broth is hands down the best I've ever had. I could sip it straight from a mug and be happy, but the noodles and fresh, crispy toppings take it to another level. Every bite feels balanced and intentional. The ambiance is fun, modern industrial, and a little dark but lively. One wall is all exposed brick, which gives it such a cool vibe. The metal chairs aren't exactly built for lounging, but come on, we're downtown slurping ramen, not hanging out at a sleepy café. The staff is always friendly and totally on top of things. They know the menu inside and out, so if you're ordering vegan, you can trust you're in good hands. The food really speaks for itself. I'll be slurp-sip-repeating here for as long as Ani Ramen keeps those bowls coming!

    We ordered from Ani Ramen based off of a friend's rave review and recommendation…read more We ordered delivery in early February. It was our first time trying Ani Ramen. Delivery was quick. Order was correct. And it will be our last time though. We ordered kurobuta sausage, a side of soy glazed chicken, side of garlic yu choy, side of yaki-pulled pork, the pork bowl, and Tokyo shoyu ramen. The side dishes were great. That's all we would have ordered had we known. The Tokyo shoyu ramen was awful, unflavorful and way overpriced. Egg costs extra for ramen... bizarre. All other places add everything for the same price and way better flavor. Noodles overcooked. Pork bowl also bland. This place is a pass for us. We miss vivi bubble in Hoboken. They had the best ramen. :(

Stuffed calamari ($25) - there were literally 3 in the dish. 3. I ate one and you're seeing everything else we got. Beef rendang ($24) - 4 pieces of beef. Not wagyu... Pork w spring rolls on vermicelli ($24) - reasonable enough portion but very overcooked. Should be a staple of any Viet spot so idk what they're doing here Would call them right now but they close at 9.... on a Saturday.... I will update this review if I'm able to reach them during biz hours for a resolution but this is easily the most disappointing meal I've had all year. Save your hard earned money and go to Ela's greek or literally anywhere else on this block, even Dominos. EDIT: Went in next day and spoke to a manager, only mentioned portion size and showed the picture, didn't get a chance to say anything about everything being overcooked. He had clearly heard these complaints about portion size before, because he immediately launched into saying the cut of beef + tendon they use for the rendang yields that as their standard portion size. He refunded the calamari. I still won't be going back and would never recommend this place, but wanted to acknowledge the resolution. Also my husband unfortunately wasn't there to speak to them, but he's been in restaurants for 25 years and knows they served chuck, not a fancy cut...
