    My friends and I came after a day out and needed some comfort food. We were seated immediately and given an extensive menu. We noticed pretty much every table had some sort of fried food item so of course we had to order some too. We ordered their gimmari 김말이, cheese tteokbokki, beef tang soo yuk 탕수육, spicy tuna with perilla leaf gimbap and shrimp tempura gimbap. We were pleasantly surprised by their large portions and ended up not being able to finished everything. Flavors, portions and prices are great! I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

    Nice casual spot in Palisades Park for light comfort good. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend. Kalguksu comes in a massive bowl. Kimbap is fresh!!

    Bunsik Nara is a solid spot for casual Korean dishes. While you wouldn't come here to eat a healthy meal, it will be a hearty one! My favorite is the tonkatsu, especially their sauce! The sauce is unique and a little different from Japanese style sauce but really hits the spot. The service is attentive and accommodating to kids as well.

    There was a lot to like about our first experience. Above all, everything on the combo plate was served at the right coldness and hotness. The pork katsu was so tender that each bite felt as light as clouds. I could've done without the fried egg on top of the hamburg steak, which really stands on its own. The iceberg lettuce for the salad had the perfect crisp and chill and the unidentified dressing brought it to another level. The macaroni and sweet corn salad were definitely welcome but were both a tad soupier than I would like. Staff was efficient and friendly although you would expect that in a dining room of just for people. An overall really solid first experience, so I'll have this joint on my radar for a future outing.

    Relaxed atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive. Servings were bountiful. And everything we ordered were wonderful! Cheesy Tteokbokki was really cheesy... and will satisy your cheese-pull pleasure. Chicken was tender and tasty. Fish tonkatsu was not fishy and breading was crunchy. Odeng was fulfilling and kimmari was enjoyable! They also gave us free lettuce salad. I believe the owner might have recognized it was our first time there and offered us some free drinks - my company got sodas for each of us. I would say my experience here today is with high ROI.

    The portions are HUGE! Bunsik Nara served a wide selection of Korean comfort food. And did I mention the portions are huge? lol The kimbap rolls are gigantic and you could easily share one between two people. The tteokbokki wasn't my favorite because it was way too sweet. It had some sort of fruity after taste that threw me off. Warning: do not get the Diablo jjamppong if you cannot handle spice. It is by far THE most spiciest soup I've ever tried. (As a reference: I can handle Samyang Buldak noodles just fine.) I even poured some water into it to dilute it but nothing helped. With that said though, the noodles were cooked perfectly and it had so much seafood and vegetables. (I later went back to try the regular jjamppong and the soup was great! Spicy but not diablo spicy.)

    I thought the pricing for quick Korean bites was a little on the higher end for casual dining - but there's a reason- THEYRE BIG BOY sized. Totally wish I took a gander at everyone else's order before we ordered 3 separate entrees and a roll. Needless to say, if you're looking to fuel up- this is the place to go. I noticed they also do a LOT of takeout/catering-like orders. This spot ideal for groups or ur gym bro/sis trying to carbo load. The food is quite good. Banchan- iceberg lettuce w sesame dressing, kimchi, pickled radish but with a cinnamon-like taste to it Bimbimbap- IDK why there was iceberg lettuce in here too, otherwise satisfactory! Bulgogi Ttekbboki - was a ginormous gravy boat (def sharable); flavorful, filling Chicken Cheese Katsu- HUGE, crispy, cheesy- amazing. Sharable and should be for ur poor arteries. Tuna Kimbap- large and has imitation crab inside* Staff is super nice and welcoming. Even checked into make sure I mixed up the bimbimbap right.

    I was a big fan of this place and left feeling stuffed and satisfied! We got 3 dishes (1 combo, 1 tteokbokki, 1 squid and pork plate) and it was probably enough for 4 people, so we definitely overordered but everything looked so good! My favorite was the tteokbokki with fish cake. I also surprisingly loved the salad with the sauce they served for free at the beginning. The squid/pork was too spicy for me but I thought the squid was delicious. The combo came with really tasty green onions garnished on top of fried chicken. The chicken was special, as was the fried rice which had a hint of a seafood taste. I also appreciated the macaroni salad in the combo plate. The cream pasta was a bit too heavy for my liking, but it was good overall. Well worth the value, huge servings, busy place that seems to be popping in the midst of all these other Korean restaurants.

    Some of the best padak (fried chicken with green onion) in the world. So moist and juicy and the sauce they serve it with is soooo good. We also ordered the cheese tteokbokki which was a huge portion. One of the servers came around and mentioned that she thinks our order didn't get enough tteok so she gave us some extra (so kind... great service). The kimbap was super tasty and freshly made as well. Super casual ambiance for a snack/quick meal. Prices have gone up in the past few years but portions are still huge so can't really complain!

    Shrimp tempura kimbop
    Marie Y.

    Ten of us went to the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch, and the staff was able to quickly accommodate us by putting together tables. As expected, we ordered a ton of things -- my brother and I shared Combo A, which comes with tonkatsu, Hamburg steak, and a choice between tomato sauce or cream spaghetti, and the shrimp tempura kimbop. The table also got tteokbokki and padak (fried chicken with scallions) to share. My brother and I frequent the restaurant at least once every few months, and I would say that any of the Combos are a good choice if you want to try a bunch of different food items. There are also Combos that come with different katsu and fried rice instead of the spaghetti. It was our first time trying the shrimp tempura kimbop, and while I wasn't expecting the spicy mayo drizzle, it didn't hurt the dish in any way. Tteokbokki was tasty but too spicy for a Korean American who does not do well with overly spicy food. Padak was excellently fried, and I appreciated that the server purposely served it a little later so that we would have some time to eat each of our main dishes and clear the table before digging into another dish. In fact, service was fantastic at the restaurant -- all of the servers were friendly and very attentive to our needs, despite the fact that they were pretty busy. As for ambiance, I love the decorations of Minions on the wall, as well as the latest Kpop hits playing in the background. The restaurant also has a display case of various anime figurines that is interesting to see. Overall, I definitely recommend Bunsik Nara if you want a wide variety in the selection of Korean food with great service.

    Cheese Tonkatsu
    Esther C.

    Best comfort food when craving something fatty and spicy! I think the rice cakes are make of flour not rice (밀떡) so it's very chewy yum Katsu was so good -- that sauce was delightful too. Usually katsu sauce is too strong with a slight BBQ flavor but this one was not overpowering at all! Seemed homemade Server was so friendly and sweet! Great vibes

    Cheese tteokbokki
    Aidan O.

    EXCEPTIONAL Korean food. HoLlLLYYY this place is amazing!! TRY THIS OUT for some great huge portion snack meals. Staff is super friendly and portions are MASSIVE. Quality was also insane!! All 6 of us were soooo happy with everything we ordered. Also, the banchan HIT soooo good. Kimchi, lettuce, and one other dish that was phenomenal. My mouth is watering thinking of this meal. Photos included to see the sweetness in quantity of everything. 17273920/10 we will be back. Ambiance was cute. It definitely felt like it was meant for families and kids specifically!

    Soba and tonkatsu, and cheese kimchi fried rice
    Wen Na Z.

    Bunsiknara has an extensive menu with a variety of comfort dishes. My fiancé ordered their kimchi fried rice with cheese, and I ordered their soba with tonkatsu off their summer special menu. We were absolutely not expecting the huge portion sizes! The soba was delightfully chewy and paired well with the chilled dipping sauce and the katsu was fried perfectly and didn't taste oily. Would totally comeback to try some of the other dishes!

The service was consistent, only once did we have to ask for refills for water. Food: we ordered the half and half raw marinated crab, bibimbap, abalone congee and fried oysters. Raw crabs: marinated and seasoned perfectly. We aren't a spicy loving family, but this was perfect amount for us that we could handle the spice. Our lips and mouths burned, but the good tingle, not the fire breathing 911 burn. lol Fried oysters: well battered and fried, nicely aromatic Abalone congee: perfectly textured and the abalone meat and taste was present. This helped offset the spiciness of the crabs. Bibimbap: not your average clay pot type, this was on a plate and with lots of green vegetables. Also delicious! The Bon chon was different and excellent. Variety of different vegetables, pickled and fermented. We enjoyed them all. FYI: there is a small parking lot as well

Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

A staffer brought over a reasonable but light sized selection of banchan (and not 100% sure how to get more after I asked and then apparently they were too busy to come back to give more). Rustic Korean look is about right - more like a bit of a drinking spot + food, and they had a section with candy ($2 each, you pay on your honor system) along with some old school video game cabinets. Located on the second floor, so take the stairs up or the elevator. The sides included some rice cake with fish cake in a sauce, scallion pajeon pancake slices, large pieces of nappa cabbage (cut later by a server rushing back), bean sprouts, some kind of mayo/egg salad, marinated broccoli, a few grilled slices of sausage meat, sliced large daikon pickles, and a few other items. The basic soup with kimchi and steamed egg was good. We ordered on the tablet and asked for water - they brought very nice cold barley tea (and they had a hot one later for my wife when we asked for that separately) - excellent on a hot day. The BBQ - they will grill it for you. We had the gas grill turned on, it was slightly tilted to let the grease runoff - the vent above. The special dry-aged pork belly was ok ($35.19), a little nutty/earthy and a bit "stinky". It was super fatty and good with the doenjang or sesame oil w/ salt. The pork short rib cuts were cooked in the kitchen and brought out on a little metal tray to keep warm, so that was immediately able to be eaten, that was marinated well, juicy, and less fatty but a small handful for ($35.19) - expected a bigger serving. We also tried the seafood pajeon - very thick, lots of scallions, some jalapeno, and only a little seafood chopped up on top. Perhaps the more traditional way - a thick layer of scallions and some batter on top, was what it felt like. The side of regular pajeon with the banchan was small and crisp and better, actually. The last dish was a shin ramen fried rice - pork fried rice mixed with a Shin Ramen and put on the grill - it was already ready to eat but the server made it into a nice little heart. Tasty mix. Went on Labor Day, so the buy 2+1 free meat wasn't applicable even though it was Monday-Friday summer deals. The check also had the 3.5% off but not the extra 5% on the tablet screen, so ended up just paying via card. I saw one group come in to try to sneak a bunch of beer they were bringing in themselves and probably left after being told they couldn't drink it or maybe there was a cork fee? The restaurant does serve alcohol. There were a number of delivery orders for pick up and people waiting on seating (it did get busy) so the one waitress was running around cooking BBQ, the manager/owner(?) was running back and forth between taking orders, making food in the kitchen, packing items, and getting folks seated, so that made some people impatient. Parking available around the corner at the Pocha restaurant or the muni lot across the street. Overall I've had better BBQ but it was a reasonable try.

    We descended like a plague of hungry locusts here a comfortable 45 min or so before Jesus Hour was…read moreup (AKA Korean church). That gave us enough time to have the place to ourselves and order literally everything they could think to serve us. This was easily one of the best KBBQ experiences I've had. The meat cuts were all perfectly marinated and grilled, from the Dry-Aged Pork Belly, to the tender Pork Jowl, to the juicy Marinated Pork Ribs. The Budae Jjigae was savory comfort, and the Shin Ramen Fried Rice was not only abundant, but served in an adorable heart shape. Even the Kimchi Stew and Gyeran-jjim were more umami than the countless counterparts I've had elsewhere. On top of that, we got more ban chan than an attention-starved halmoni hosting her first family reunion in 10 years. Everywhere I pointed my chopsticks, I touched food. It was delightful. If I can ever gather enough people, I'd gladly infest this place again.

Everyone left stuffed and I even had leftovers for the next day. I didn't get to eat everything but here's what I tried. The duck combo, pork combo, nayengmen (cold noodle I butchered the spelling I know sorry) and corn cheese. They don't do the brisket sauce like they do in la. Instead I think it was a mixture of miso and vinegar? With onions soaking in it. Paired perfectly with the pork. I've never had anything like it before. The thin cut pork belly was probably my favorite out of all the pork. The marinated duck combo was pretty interesting. It kinda felt like a ttkekbokki dish? But a little light on the rice cakes. The duck itself tasted like some really good charcuterie. It was a little too spicy for me but super good.

You order at the front and pick up your food when it's ready. It's actually a really convenient system, and since there is no table service, there's no expectation to leave a gratuity. The food itself is consistently good. The parking lot is very, very small and shared with the cafe next door, so parking can be a squeeze. Because it's so popular, it gets very busy during prime dining hours. Even when I've ordered takeout, there can sometimes be a decent wait to get your food so I recommend order online or over the phone ahead. They do charge a little extra if you pay with a credit card to cover the fees. If you visit during the summer months, you absolutely have to try the Naeng Myeon (cold noodle soup) or the Bibim Naeng Myeon (spicy cold noodles). They really hit the spot and are incredibly refreshing. Highly recommend!

They rotate the banchans and we get something a little different each time we go and they're all very good. One thing that really stands out is their steamed eggs. It's fluffy, hearty, flavorful and it's always my kids' favorite. The meats are of good quality and I'm obsessed with their aged kimchi which comes with any pork order so make sure you request it. The service is great as they come and grilled the meats for you and they always grill it to perfection. The only downside side is I remembered they used to take reservations if you have a party if 7 or more but this is no longer the case. We wanted to come here for a party of 8 on the weekend and they don't take reservations on weekends so we almost never make it as a big group because there's normally a very long wait time unless you come super early. This is my go to spot for Korean bbq and I think price is reasonable compared to other options considering the high quality of the food they offer. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic experience.

    I've had Wooga bookmarked for the longest time because of the grilled oxtail, and finally had a…read morechance to come try it! I've never had grilled oxtail before, or seen it on any other KBBQ menus, so this was an absolute must for me. Wooga is legit - authentic, service is phenomenal & attentive, and the interior is cozy but relatively well ventilated. We waited about 15 mins on a Sunday night for a party of 2. True to my over ordering tendencies, I ordered the oxtail, the small beef set, and a small naengmyun. This was SO much food. The grilled oxtail was definitely an interesting experience. It still has all of the richness & fattiness, but the little crispiness from the grilling also makes it a really addicting texture. It was admittedly a little hard to eat with the bone pieces and with it being scorching hot, but I would get this again. The beef from the set was good, but we were struggling to finish. Each set also came with a steamed egg and kimchi stew, and there's always just something about KBBQ kimchi stews that slaps. The naengmyun was decent, not the best I've had but okay. Service here though deserves 5 stars. I accidentally dropped kimchi juice on my dress, and the waiter gave me a stain remover immediately. We never ran low on water, banchan, or sauces, and all meats were cooked to our liking. Parking is available to the side of the restaurant. Will definitely be back!

    My out-of-town friend was looking for a Korean breakfast spot, and she found Onga. It happened to…read morebe the perfect meeting point between where I live and where she was staying in New Jersey. We arrived around 8:50 a.m., and the restaurant was already packed, which is always a good sign. Luckily, two tables opened up just as I got there, allowing my group of three and my friend's group of five to be seated. Even though my friend was still about eight minutes away, the staff was kind enough to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. Every bowl was a hit. The kids enjoyed their beef soups, while the adults ordered the beef knee soup, with one person choosing the spicy beef soup. Each soup came with cooked sticky purple rice, a few noodles in the broth, and classic Korean side dishes like kimchi that rounded out the meal perfectly. The service was phenomenal from beginning to end. Despite how busy they were, the staff remained friendly, attentive, and efficient. The prices were also very reasonable, especially for the quality and generous portions. The only downside for me is that I'd have to cross a bridge to get there, otherwise I'd be a regular. If you're looking for delicious authentic Korean comfort food, open 24 hours, Onga is absolutely worth the visit.

    Honestly, I don't understand the hype. Nothing about this restaurant stands out compared with the…read moremany other places in town. The food was just OK, the meat was mediocre, and there was nothing memorable about the meal. The only thing that seems to stand out is the morning special price, which attracts bargain diners and makes the place extremely crowded. Otherwise, there's really NOTHING special here. For regular hour dining, there are plenty of other restaurants in town that offer much better food and quality for the money.
