This tiny store has ton of flavors, but fell short... With an Asian influenced cuisine it stands out from the others. The Bulgogi box had a lot to offer, but I felt like it could have had more beef. Also, the salad did not have the usual, ginger sauce. It was a salad dressing that threw me off... need that ginger sauce with Asian food to heighten that experience. The good part was all the extra sides that the staff gave me with the box... very hospitable. Even offering more to compliment the dish. Do not get the Korean Fried Chicken... I ordered a 4pc and I couldn't tell if they were drumsticks or wings. The sad part was, they were all drumsticks yet looked like wings... mind boggling. It was a HUGE fried ball and the chicken was ginormous! This is bad- it means the chicken wings are injected with hormones. It gets worse, the batter was over fried... super dark and burnt. Finally, the taste was off. Not a fan of these at all. FYI: Parking can be tough since many spots are for tenants living in the condos. read more

3.6 stars rounded up. Excellent service, charming atmosphere of a restaurant that just opened. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. The sweet potato fries were too greasy and soggy, the LA Galbi was really disappointing (granted, the bar set by other Korean restaurants in the area is very high) and raging bulgogi was better but there was too much sauce. I think it's a nice addition to the restaurants in the neighborhood and good quick lunch spot, but somewhere we'd come back. That said, please support similar local businesses! read more

Great food. Love the side of Kimchi and Jalapeños they give. I believe it's family owned as well.

Great option for tasty and affordable bibimbap bowls for takeout! I did the "build your own bibimbap" option - there was a lot of customization available and all ingredients were delicious, especially the bulgogi which was really flavorful and tender. I also really liked the purple rice, edamame, and onion crisps. The serving size was pretty big and only $15, so it was pretty good value. This is mainly just a takeout spot, as the shop itself is quite small. The takeout was right on time after we ordered online. There is a parking lot across the street, which makes it a convenient location. Overall, Dalgoona Bowl comes up just shy of 5 stars since it wasn't quite special/unique enough, but it is very deserving of a strong 4 star review from me. read more

Dalgoona Bowl - Build your own bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

Fried chicken (half original/half soy garlic) - tasted very fresh and juicy. The exterior is a bit different than the normal Korean fried chicken places. But the inside was a little pink, I didn't feel good later... Bao buns - good portion for the price. We got the katsu. It was good. Raging bulgogi bowl - the fried onions should be included separately so it doesn't get steamed in the bowl. We opted for purple rice and it was very soggy/soft. We barely salvaged by stir frying the heck out of it the following day. I didn't like the overall bowl as much, definitely won't get it again even with improved rice texture. We had ordered in person and there was one person working. It took about 20 minutes. I recommend ordering ahead, where you can also see what's available. Will considering returning again. read more

This was my second attempt at ordering because the first time they were not offering the Tendon Bowl that day. Ironically when I called the second time, I wanted to order the Fat Pork Belly Bowl and that one wasn't available... so I asked about the Tendon Bowl and it was indeed good to go. (TLDR: Make sure to call ahead to see if specific menu items are available that day.) Pleased to report, however, that the Tendon didn't disappoint! Probably could've benefited from a quicker transit time so that it doesn't cool down so much, but it's takeout only for the time being. We also ordered a blooming bibimbap (not pictured) and fried chicken, which was pretty bready compared to other Korean fried chicken. But the real winner was the bonus soup which was a nice surprise and not mentioned in the menu. Just what we needed to go along with the meal. All in all, I give them closer to a 4.5 for a well-rounded good meal. read more

Dalgoona Bowl - Tendon Bowl & Fried Chicken - Korean Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

Not bad! This place came up out of nowhere when I was looking for a quick delivery dinner, and I'm glad I gave them a try. Fried chicken wings (Soy garlic for $1 extra) was crispy, chewy, and full of flavor out of the box. My katsu curry bowl was surprisingly good for a delivery. Katsu was crispy on the outside and full of flavor. Best of all, it wasn't dry! The curry had this real delicious umami flavor with hidden strands of juicy onion to add just a bit of wetness to the meal. It was perfect. Blooming (Vegetable) bibimbap was pretty good, with well-prepared veggies and a side of soup, though in comparison to katsu curry it was nothing to write home about. Being a newcomer, they gave two cans of soda which was a nice touch as well. We were stuffed and had some leftover for the next day. One word of caution - because they use cardboard bowl for takeout, do transfer the leftover rice into a sealed container because otherwise the paper will suck the moisture out of the rice and make it a dry block, significantly reducing the quality of the leftover. (I had to do a leftover CPR to bring it to decent state again) Give Dalgoona Bowl a try for your next rice bowl takeout! I'll definitely be trying their Raging bulgogi and spicy pork bowl (name escapes me) next! read more

Dalgoona Bowl - Kimbap - Korean Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

I'm really surprised that the food here was so good. I thought it'd be similar to Gogi Grill in JC, but it's 100x better. In fact, it was SO good that I scarfed it all down in record time and didn't take a single picture...I'm full of regrets. I ordered the fat pork belly rice bowl, truffle fries, and pork belly bao buns. There was a generous amount of fries, and my favorite type too (thin and crispy). The bao buns were tasty and the pork inside was tender. The pork belly bowl reminded me of Chinese braised pork belly which I loved. A tad salty, but so much flavor! Eggs were cooked perfectly too. My only con is that the food took a long time to prepare (about 20-30 mins). It would be best to order in advance and pick it up when it's ready. I will be back for sure! read more

I ordered lunch from Dalgoona Bowl today and it was delicious! I ordered the bao buns with pork belly and the truffle spam rice. I was surprised at how large the portions were and I enjoyed every single bite. The bao buns had very generous pieces of pork belly and the sauce/scallions/slaw like mixture was very tasty. The truffle spam rice was sweet and savory; I could see myself getting addicted to this dish. I'm going to try the make your own bibimbop next. The gentleman who works there was very nice as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Came Sunday morning/afternoon. Staff was very patient with us since my mom kept going back and forth on what she wanted. Bao buns were really good, meaty and enough sauce. Both fries were amazing! I'll order their bibimbap next time as they look really good. Also had them Galbi which I forgot to take a pic of since we devoured it so fast! Overall, amazing food and great staff! read more

This place is great and a welcome addition to the neighborhood! Called in my order and the guy who answered was both friendly & helpful. Also super nice when I arrived for my pick up. Ordered the bao (yummy) which comes in three. We had the pork belly and would like to try one of the other options next time. The curry katsu with purple rice was good. The curry was similar to what I'd consider a gravy with a creamy texture good for dipping your katsu. Also has the kimchee fried rice, also with purple rice and I'd definitely get that again. There where these little crunchy bits on top next to the scrambled eggs. Mix it all together and you get wonderful bite of fried rice, egg and crunchy bits. read more

A MUST try!! I love Asian fusion, and Dalgoona Bowl really knocked it out of the park. We ordered the bao buns, fried chicken, don katsu, and egg kimchi fried rice. I ordered a bunch of different things to share with a group of people which was definitely the move--I got to try a little bit of everything! Everything was great, but the bao buns were the crowd favorite. The buns could barely hold the fillings because it was so stuffed, and they were super flavorful. They're meant to be appetizers, but even eating 2-3 can be quite filling. When you give this place a go, try and share with a group of people because each dish is truly unique. read more

I spotted Dalgoona while driving by and noticed it is a new spot so decided to check it out same day! The staff was super friendly and helpful. They gave us a free drink with our order which was super nice too. I built my own bibimbap (spicy pork, corn, mushrooms, bean sprout, among other things!) and my hubby ordered the Dalgoona Ramyun. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. The Ramyun was spicier than expected for my hubby but he loved every last bit of it :) Also, one plus is that they use mostly compostable packaging. In terms of COVID-specific measures, everyone is wearing masks and they offer hand sanitizer. The counter is separated with glass so that's nice. There are a couple of seats inside and a few tables outside. read more

Mom and Pop Korean restaurant that makes fresh kimchi in house. We ordered the Bim bop and the kimchi fried rice. Both tasted extremely delicious and very homey. The owner is very sweet and very hospitable. If anybody is looking for authentic Korean food, this is the place to go. read more

I came to this spot yesterday with my friends and we ordered the Blazing Fire, fried chicken, and the Booming Curry Katsu. I really enjoyed the blazing fire, as it wasn't too spicy. The egg and avocado went extremely well with the marinated pork, creating almost a creamy texture. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and excellent. The curry was sweet and went well with the katsu, which was both crispy on the outside and extremely tender on the inside. Plus, they gave us some soup to have with the rice bowls, which accompanied the meal in a soothing manner. Overall, i really enjoyed the experience, and really loved the interior (very well lit up, bright ambience). Everyone was wearing masks and takeout was prepared in around ~15 minutes. Would definitely come again! read more

My friend and I heard about this place and came by to try it out! We both got a curry katsu dish and loved it - the curry is not too spicy while being rich and creamy. Katsu was also nice and crispy! They're currently running a promo for a free drink if you get a "bowl" dish until Jan 7, so definitely come try this place out. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with sanitizer available, and are available on delivery apps. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area! read more

When you are driving on river road it is very hard to notice but once you get to the light if it is red this hole in the Wall is hard to notice. It is a very small place, They allow dine in and take out, They do grub hub and uber eats. The Bibimbap is so good and delicious, the tapioca pearls in the boba are made fresh i got the dream taro and the bobas were warm and boiled freshly. I recommend coming here because i would totally come back. read more

Love love love this little gem of a restaurant! I believe it's a little family owned place with a son and mother/father. They are super sweet and friendly and their dishes are super fresh and tasty. I've already come by 4 times this past month and can't wait to go back! The fried chicken wings are yummy snd their bowls are the best. I also recommend the ramen. Very fresh and flavorful. If you are in the area for something fresh and tasty make sure to swing by here. read more

My family was in town for a few nights playing tourist. I wanted to try a local Korean food and came across this spot. The owner and her son were kind and attentive. Our food was amazing. The owner provided extra free sides with our food. My husband and son are picky eaters and certainly approves of this spot. read more

Simple, but amazing. My girlfriend always orders chicken teriyaki while I get the spicy bulgogi. Love this place

This is my new #1 go-to asian fusion takeout place!! Everything is yummy but my favs have to be the fat pork belly and blazing fire. The food comes out fast and most importantly it tastes sooooo good. They have bubble tea and other drinks as well and my fav has to be the hot taro drink. Perf for the winter!!! Best place everrrrrrrrr cant wait to go again today... p.s. the staff is very very friendly and accomodating love itttt read more

It has been a while since I have tried Korean food! I was in the mood for something other than Mexican, pizza, Indian, so decided to give this place a try.. they have nice vegetarian options! I had the option to build my own bibimbap without the egg and make it vegetarian which is a plus! Yay! A bit pricey but then most restaurants in the area are in this range thanks to the proximity to manhattan! Food was very good! read more

Fresh, delicious and made with love. I have tried the blooming curry katsu, bulgogi sushi and the homemade kimchi. All of them were the best quality version of these dishes I've had to date. The owner is lovely and everything is made from scratch. read more

I give this place 4.5 stars. It would be 5 if the portion size was a little bigger. That said, they give you a reasonable portion size. I tried the Raging bulgogi, Blazing fire, Bao buns (all 3 flavors) and Royal milk tea. Raging bulgogi is really good and has a unique flavor that is hard to describe. Blazing fire is really good and the slices or avocado are a nice touch. Do wish there were a little more vegetables in the bowl but good nonetheless. For bao buns, the bulgogi and jeeyook are really good. I wasn't a fan of the pork belly because there was too much fat. Royal milk tea is a must try. Kind of reminds me of authentic milk tea you can get in China. read more

Very happy that this spot opened up near us. Korean comfort food at its best. We look forward to coming back and trying some of the other menu items! read more

Nice location and I was hoping this would be my go-to fast Korean spot nearby. This particular area around Shadyside/City Place is a desert when it comes to Korean options. Over 2 visits I tried a few items and I liked the Original flavor fried chicken...its reminiscent of soy-marinated chicken karaage. The other items I tried were kimchi fried rice, blazing fire, and soy garlic fried chicken - maybe its just me and the people I was with, but we would have definitely liked them much better if the sauces were less sweet. They were much sweeter than Korean food i am used to. Still, the place has potential so I'm rounding up to a 4 star. Hopefully, there's an option to request less sweet and really hope they try adding some tasty grab and go options like kimbap rolls or onigiri - we really need grab and go Korean options around these parts! read more

This place hits all the good taste buds. Simple yet tasteful menu. Comfort food for the soul. Would highly recommend the Spam Truffle anyday. read more

Not sure if the owner changed but I'm so disappointed that they got rid of all their pork belly dishes. That was what set them apart from other restaurants in the area. Last week I stopped by for some bao buns. Since they didn't have pork belly, I got spicy pork. The pork flavor was good but the buns were STALE. It was definitely in the freezer and microwaved. The woman that was there offered me a kimbap to sample. It was delicious but $10 for kimbap?? Not sure if I'll be back. read more

This Korean fusion food is very good as take out food. I tried it few times already and they are very consistent. They also have bubble tea and they were great as well! Recommend it and will go back for sure... read more

First time trying this place. I would say it was very delicious. Bubble Tea - I ordered three drinks (2 royal milks & 1 taro). Those were amazing, but sadly the store ran out of boba pearls. Kimchi Fried Rice - my mom loved the rice. She said she can taste the kimchi. Bibimbap - I ordered the create your own bibimbap. My bibimbap had white rice, over easy egg, carrots, fried radish, seaweed crisps, bulgogi, and soy sauce. For my first time trying bibimbap, it was soooo delicious. I would definitely get it again. Our food and drinks took about 15 mins to make. Price - price is somewhat reasonable. Not too crazy! Interior - the interior was nice, small, and bright. There was one person taking my order and I think one person making the food in the back. You can also eat inside and outside or you can take out. read more

Great bao buns! Haven't tried anything else yet but you can be sure ill be back. Place is clean and staff is nice.
