I went here Saturday night to eat dinner with friends. The staff at the register was very attentive and welcoming. Since we were dining in, we chose to sit next to the window, which is actually pretty picturesque. The ambience feels warm like a cozy diner vibe. Their food was delicious! We ended up getting the dumpling soup, k pop chicken, and kimchi pancake! I was happy about the portion sizes, and I was delightfully surprised that the "small" kimchi pancake is actually so filling! The dumpling soup was so comforting, especially with the cold weather, and there were tiny rice cakes in there too. The k pop chicken was crunchy, and it came with a side of slaw which was also very fresh and crisp. Overall, I love this place. I've been here a couple times in the past for their bibimbap, and I've never been disappointed! Definitely will be back! read more

If you're looking for good Korean food in downtown Newark, don't miss BulgogiZip on Broad Street. I found this jem after a long day of summer school and dinner there hit the spot. A generous portion of bulgogi accompanied by white rice, slaw and dumplings was more than enough to fill me up and getting takeaway made my day. read more

BulgogiZip - Bulgogi Bowl--Sweet pork and spicy pork with rice, K-Slaw and Mandu (dumplings). - Barbeque Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

The establishment seems to be a local staple. The menu has some nice items, basic, simple Korean staples. The atmosphere is your neighborhood joint. Many locals seemed to be eating here as we ate our meal. The food filled our bellies but in our opinion lacking. The soy K-pop chicken: the sauce was a bit runny and waaaay too salty. The fries had an old oil taste to them. The kimchi jeon was nice not too spicy but a bit soggy. The sweet pork bulgogi could of had a bit more flavor. read more

Bulgogi/teriyaki house with some nice options for quick lunch. For is prepared within a decent time. Comes with side of lettuce onion and sauce (spicy mayo/spicy korean). The chicken and bulgogi beef were really delicious, not over cooked. Served on top of rice. There are street parkings right in front of the store. Few booths available to dine in. read more

Awesome little place with delicious food and quick service. We ordered the bulgogi and the popcorn chicken. Delicious.

We got to go from here and ate it at Newark Local Brewery before heading to NJPac. It was so so good. The Korean popcorn chicken was delicious as was the Korean beef bowl I got. BUT the favorite between us was the fried dumplings. I will be making this my go to spot before any shows at njpac or the prudential center. read more

I ordered delivery through Uber eats for a Saturday lunch The portions are good to fill you up for sure. My tastebuds were happy with the bibimbap and the beef bulgogi & spicy pork bowl. The veggies for the bibimbap were great quality and fresh. Side of Fried rice has the regular fried rice flavor, a bit salty, but still pretty good. Not bad at all. Can't really say anything bad about the food. The flavor and quality was there for sure. Other than the fried rice and dumplings being "average" (for my taste buds). But again, I have no complaints really. 5 stars. read more

BulgogiZip - a meal of rice and meat - Barbeque Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

The food was good but not great. There was enough food however to last me two meals. The menu is small and serves the basic, more popular Korean dishes. I went here on my lunch break and it took at fifteen minute wait so I would definitely call ahead to order. Inside felt like it was once an old fast food restaurant with the plastic booths. Nobody was eating inside restaurant but all waiting for to go orders. read more

I ordered the bulgogi bowl spicy beef and pork combo today. I got my meat was spoiled, and I instantly started throwing up. This was the worst food I ever encountered. Maybe I just got food on a bad day, but I will never order from this place again. read more

BulgogiZip is one of my preferred spots for lunch on Broad Street. True to their name, the food is prepared lickety-split, often ready to go within ten minutes of placing my order. The service is always friendly and attentive. I often order the teriyaki chicken, a classic takeaway dish, served with rice and veggies. The bulgogi is decent, though not the best I've ever had. I also like the chicken wings (served with fries). The food is fast and cheap, serving its purpose and satisfying my hunger. read more

This place has awesome food! It is a family owned business and staff are super friendly. I would have to say my favorites are the bibimbap, kalbi, and the soy garlic wings! With little to no diversity of food options in Newark, Bulgogizip is a must for Korean food. Everything is made in-house, super healthy, and so so good! read more

Experienced foodies (as myself) know when they are biting down on lower-grade foods like steak meat the second it chews like rubber, not because it's overcooked but because it's not lean and disproportionately fat and/or gristly in texture-- and no amount of sauce can hide these infractions. Not impressed. Full stop. read more

Visited second time. This time dine in. The online order was closed because they ran out of a few stuff on the menu but the young Asian lady was super nice- she honored the 10% discount anyway. The bathroom was clean and dining area cosy and nice. Neighborhood joint . ------/------------------------------------- Considering the location, it's a good deal. Decent portions for the price . Pretty quick too. Wish they have longer hours. read more

So when you see spicy on an Asian food menu that normally means you're in for a red lips, eye watering and flushed cheeks experience (expect Chinese fast food). Thai and Vietnamese food has taught me well when it comes to respecting the word spicy on a menu, so naturally I stayed away from the Spicy Pepper Wings at Bulgogi Zip. Today I put on my big boy pants and went full Spicy Pepper wings! With my cup of milk at the ready I picked up my first wing and just went at it. Like racoons gnawing away at a dumpster of food I went full beast mode and put a hurtin' on the fattest juiciest drumette of the bunch. My mouth was on fire, my lips were red and and I had literal smoke coming out of my mouth however not from the spice level but the fact that these were fresh out of the fryer. After I drank water to cool the burn in my mouth I realized the wings weren't that hot, they were more on a level of medium hot buffalo wings waiting until they cooled off a bit I had the most delicious fried wings of my life. They were truly euphoric. I savored ever bite and of course I licked my fingers clean, I wasn't going to let that goodness be wasted on a napkin. No sir I was riding high for my lunch today and nothing was going to stand in the way. So good I forgot to take a picture. So here's what's left... I need a nap read more

It's Corona time...what can you say I haven't really been out in a while, cooking and snacking at home. But after a 3 mile walk in Branch Brook Park, (which is CLOSED btw) Anywho... So I just didn't feel like cooking and had a taste for Asian food and found this place. The food was decent, worthy of going back, I guess. Of course it was freshly prepared and hot when I picked it up. However this didn't really taste like Korean food that I have tasted before. Very BASIC and underwhelming. I ordered the pork bulgogi bowl and was not impressed. It was just OK. The shrimp teriyaki was so incredibly SALTY and inedible. But the soy garlic wings were very good and fried hard just like I like my wings. Cucumber kimchi was delicious. All in all, hey, it fed us and made us full but not really satisfied. I would return, but not going out of my way for this. read more

The dish I ordered was a spicy pork and bulgogi (beef) combo that came with a nice little veggie side dish. I don't normally do spicy but with the beef combo, it was a perfect balance. Also, please try the soy garlic wings which is their specialty dish. I got some to-go. Service was on point. read more

Thank you neighbor Bulgogi Zip for coming through with fresh fries when a girl is on her fat girl stuff! They are the best! Their soy garlic wings are great too! I have had the bulgogi once and it was good too. I hope they expand their menu a bit but it's such a great spot if you are looking for fresh Korean styled options. read more

I enjoyed this place. It's close to work and the food is super filling I usually go for the bibimbap with spicy pork. The meat and vegetables are plentiful. I do wish it was a bit spicier and they are stingy with the hot sauce read more

I don't make trips to Jersey often but the one time I did, I had a chance to come across this hidden gem! I ordered the Bulgogi Bibimbap as well as a side dish of Kimchi. As a Korean, you KNOW that a restaurant is good if the kimchi they give you is yummy-- this one was pretty dam fresh and GOOD! Not to mention the main dish, which I didn't expect much from (because I always eat Bibimbap), but all the ingredients were fresh and delicious! Lastly, the service was great as the workers constantly attended to our needs without even being asked to. It was so nice to come across this small family-run Korean restaurant in downtown Newark! I definitely recommend making a stop here if you're around the area~ read more

BulgogiZip - Barbeque Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

BulgogiZip is a new Korean barbeque restaurant with a diner kinda setting in downtown Newark area. They have a very simple menu with about just 10 items, served in take out boxes with generous portion size at reasonable pricing. The ambience with the diner kinda setting was great and service was pretty quick. I generally avoid Korean BBQ restaurants as they tend to not include any vegan/vegetarian mains. But these guys serve ONE vegan option - Tofu teriyaki which is definitely worth trying. I tried the tofu teriyaki with brown rice which is served with a side of salad. The tofu was pretty flavorful with enough sauce for the rice, some may find it a bit sweet but was definitely tasty. One can also choose the fried rice ($1 extra) or white rice with their mains. If you wish to add some dressing for your salad or need some sauce for your main, you can fetch some from the choice of sauces placed on a counter at the side. I definitely loved trying some Korean food but also wished they had few more vegan/vegetarian friendly options. Overall it's definitely worth visiting this place for some good Korean BBQ. read more

It's a solid place, got the pork kalbi which... honestly never knew existed my whole korean life. It's was good. Good amount of meat and rice. But tbh, it wasn't even the busy inside. There was like 3 or 4 eating and the food took about 20mins to wait. I wasn't expecting it to take that long thus why 1 star knocked off. But other than that it's was okay. Edit: got the beef kalbi this time and it's not worth it. Grab yourself the pork kalbi, there's more meat in that one Edit: :l I ask for no salad and extra rice... I never get what I ordered. This happened 3x already, this place is a solid 20min walk 1 way... like is it that hard? Dropped to 1 star, because I never get what I ordered. Edit: When I first came here they never charge me for rice. Then they started to charge for rice @50cents.... now it's 1$ for extra rice. Yea, probably it's going to be my last time coming here, they're very indecisive on pricing. The price always changes and it's annoying, because what I paid for when I first came here was 13$, now it's 16$... ridiculous read more

I had no idea my life was missing Korean BBQ, until I came here. The portions are large, I often have enough to eat for dinner if bought for lunch. I ordered Beef bulgogi and I found it to be very tasty. I have added this restaurant to my rotation. Service is quick, I have not eaten in, only pick up. read more

The fries are nothing special. The Bulgogi bowl was tender with a good seasoning. I was worried the spicy pork would be too spicy but it tasted sweet to me. The beef also tasted sweet to me. The spicy pepper and soy garlic didn't have a vast difference in taste but I thought the soy garlic was better. The chicken size was nice but they got very hard and chewy very early on. It wasn't a juicy moist chicken. It was underwhelming in flavor and quality for a place that cooks made to order. Tasted more like fast food. read more

Went here for a weekend lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The place itself was comfy and there wasnt a lot of people. We ordered the bibimbap and a medium sized soy garlic chicken. I usually like to eat meat but the bibimbap was very satisfying without it. The chicken was good too. The pieces were a good size and the lady at the register gave us extra soy garlic sauce on the side. Not only was the food good, but the hospitality was character of a nice mom-and-pop spot. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Excellent food and packaged beautifully for take out. It was still piping hot when i got home to eat. The wings were super crunchy and the inside was still juicy with great flavored and perfectly cooked. The Bulgogi bowl that we ordered was also extremely tasty and tasted very authentic to korean BBQ. Will def get ordering from here a lot more read more

Found this place while doing business in the area. I could almost cry that I live so far away, as I would be here everyday for lunch!

I am half Korean. And quite frankly, very picky when it comes to Korean food. I had the Bulgogi here with fried rice and the dish was 'amazing'. (Not an overstatement at all). It tasted like my Oma made it fresh from the kitchen. I generally stay away from carbs and dont eat rice....lol not for long because that fried rice was BOMB. Delicious and a great combination with the Bulgogi. And they also offer unlimited salad bar for each entree. That was a plus If they keep this up, they will have me as their customer every single day read more

Great food and very kind hearted owner. I was just waiting for my food today (very shitty weather out) and saw a homeless lady walk in asking for free food. They provided her with a spicy pork dish and a place to eat. faith in humanity restored read more

We had Kalbi bowl and soy garlic chicken wings. Both tasted ok. Good for quick stop and take out.

We've been wanting to visit this place since it opened. Finally, FINALLY made it. Wish we hadn't wasted our time or money. The food was horrible. Beef bowl? More like Rice bowl with a measly side of beef. Same with the chicken teriyaki. More rice than meat. The dishes were dry. Not enough sauce. Why don't you give some extra on the side? And no condiments?!?!you should have packets of Sauces and pepper flakes. Much like fast food the pictures of the food here did not match the photos. There aren't any hot vegetables in the chicken teriyaki like the picture. They give you a side of ice cold pickled red onions, a couple cold pieces of broccoli and a bunch of cold shredded... I'm guessing cabbage but it was tasteless. And forget spicy. Doesn't even register. Completely bland. Do not recommend this place and definitely never going back. read more
