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. read more

This is a happy hour menu-only review. First, I want to say that staff here are absolutely perfect. Everyone we encountered as so nice, so welcoming, and so accommodating. No notes there. Management, if you're reading this, your staff is great. Now, onto the happy hour. Non-beer options are slim pickings on the HH menu. I wish they had a cocktail or two that wasn't a mimosa. Draft beers were very well priced and my Sapporo did hit. The bulgogi nachos were pretty good. The fried chicken was fine - nice crunch but almost zero flavor. They had a tiny side of honey mustard for dipping, but otherwise, pretty bland. The appetizer sampler was basic, to be honest. I had the chicken dumplings, fries, and cheese sticks. The mozz sticks were, just like the fried chicken, bland. Actually, everything in the sampler platter was bland. I would be back for a beer and the nachos, and I definitely want to come back and try their donkatsu. read more

We live in the neighborhood and were really happy to find a Korean BBQ spot nearby--it's always nice to have more dining options close to home. The atmosphere is modern and inviting, and they offer a happy hour until 6pm, which is a great bonus. The food is decent overall. I ordered the spicy seafood tofu soup, but they didn't ask for my preferred spice level, and it came out a bit too spicy for me. The cucumber salad was good--more like cucumbers with Hamas, but the flavor worked well. We also ordered a sampler. I enjoyed the spring rolls and cheese sticks, but the chicken tenders were a bit dry. On the plus side, they have a nice bar area that's great for hanging out. Overall, it's a convenient neighborhood spot with a good vibe, even if there's some room for improvement in the food and service. read more

We stopped by BRBQ for a late dinner on a Friday night. It wasn't too crowded and the service was prompt. We tried the Korean fried chicken wings and Seafood scallion pancake for appetizers. The wings were crispy and fresh. The seafood scallion pancake had a good amount of seafood and was well flavored. For the entree we had the Spicy Pork Bulgogi. It was served alongside several traditional Korean BBQ sides. We also ordered the Kimchi fried rice. It was lot of food for two people but the food was really good. For dessert, we tried the devil's cake - if you are a chocolate lover do not miss this one! It's a decadent chocolate cake for sure. All in all it was good dining experience read more

Finally got the opportunity to visit them. Been wanting too since we heard they are opening in the neighborhood. Made a lunch reservations on a cold windy day before Valentine's Day. Looking forward to the food and experience. Picked lunched items. Chicken wings, kimhi rice and others. Overall, food was ok but great service and atmosphere. Not sure if it was normal but the dessert was warm outside but cold inside. Still a good experience. I think dinner time would be a better time to go. BRBQ gets a recommendation. read more

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. read more

BRBQ - Bulgogi bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

We ordered the Seafood Scallion Pancake ($19) as our appetizer, and it was filled with calamari and shrimp and it was really good. For entrees, we ordered LA Galbi ($74) and Pork Belly ($38), which come with soybean paste soup, rice and some vegetables. When we ordered the Galbi and Pork Belly entrees, the waiter warned us that these entrees are made for "1.5 peoples' worth of portions". We were okay with the extra food since we wanted to taste different things, and we could always just take the leftovers home. I was surprised we were not offered chopsticks to eat at a place like this, but that's okay. The Galbi I felt had good marinade but the pieces of meat were much thicker than we are used to at other standard KBBQ locations. The pork belly had subtle flavor, but was good mixed with the sauce and the salad that was provided. Pace yourself with the rice because the meat portion to rice portion is off. Food is pretty good and the staff was very nice. The place was not busy when we stopped by as a walk-in on a Friday night, so we were able to get seated right away. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The cocktails and the food was 10/10. The service was also great, but I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because when making the reservation online I saw slots for 830pm and 9pm. After ordering our apps (around 8:45pm) we were told the kitchen was closing at 9pm so we had to get our last order in, including drinks. The waiter was kind and accommodating and even spaced out our second round of drinks but wouldn't have expected an early kitchen / bar close when reservations at 830pm and 9pm were still open. read more

The customer service is terribly disappointing and the food is inedible. I live in URBY and came for happy hour that we planned due to THEIR WEBSITE that my group showed them yet management decided not to honor it. Menu says Mon-Thurs and THEIR online menu says Mon-FRIDAY. Earlier on Tuesday my friend and I ordered meals and drinks and the food was so spicy it was INEDIBLE even for someone who eats a lot of spice. No where on the menu nor did the server say it was spicy. Inedible for a $40 meal. Not taken care of either. I was so excited to dine here but am incredibly disappointed by the food and service. I will be sharing with all who live in the apartment as well. I have never even heard of such terrible service. I've also heard similar experiences from others. read more
