Fried Rice with Fried Chicken with Garlic Sauce
Peter M.

Always enjoy eating here since it's close by. Of course black bean noodles but pretty much everything is fine, but I like their chicken in garlic sauce the most.

Egg drop soup
Sharon M.

Ordered the pork jjajangmyeon & egg drop soup. The jjajangmyeon was ok - slurpy noodles and good sauce, but not marinated enough & only 4 pieces of pork. Egg drop soup was great - lots of protein and easy to digest.

Jjajangyun + Kkangpoong Sehwoo
Jane K.

My favorite place for Jjajangmyun (Korean black bean noodle soup; I don't know why it's called that because they're not technically made of nor taste like black beans... The sauce is made of fermented soybeans and other ingredients.). Dong Bo Sung has a 1/2 Jjajangmyun and 1/2 Jjambbong (spicy seafood soup with noodles) option, so I usually grab that. Their Tang Soo Yook (fried breaded pork with sweet & sour sauce) is average but yummy, while their Kkangpoong Sehwoo (sweet & spicy fried breaded shrimp) is definitely one of the yummiest in the area. Service can be slow, but they respond quickly once you get their attention. Ambiance isn't fancy; it's a small restaurant with a spacious parking lot in the back.

So much goodness in two orders! I come here often for the black bean noodles, which is always great. This time however my husband and I ordered the japtangbap which has mixed sauteed seafood over egg fried rice, and a mixed dish that had a little of everything we usually get. Chicken was great - just what you would expect chicken kkanpponggi to be- sauced and juicy on the inside. Egg fried rice 10/10 Family friendly, space for large groups, little to no wait time Parking - there's plenty of back parking for free, although the entrance and exit is super narrow. Street parking is metered.

Jjam ppong (combo lunch special)
Marie Y.

I called to order after accessing the pdf version of the menu on their website. The menu stated the price was $29.99, but when I went to pick up the order, I was charged $32.00. I inquired about the price, and they responded by saying that the website that I accessed was not theirs, even though it was the exact same website that was accessed through their business url and even the QR code on the business card. I understand that prices could increase, especially given COVID, but I wasn't expecting to be gaslit about the price on the menu. All they had to say was that they failed to update the pdf version of the menu and apologize for the discrepancy. Terrible service mentality. UPDATE: Food was also subpar. Noodles broke off even before biting so jjajangmyeon became porridge when the noodles were mixed with the sauce. The sweet and sour pork pieces were made to look big with thick batter coating but small pieces of meat so the pieces were more carb than protein. The side dish of radish kimchi looked like they gave us someone's leftovers. This place used to be amazing (see my previous photos), but given the terrible service and bad food, I definitely won't be returning.

Jjajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, fried mandu
Wen Na Z.

I recently moved to Bergen County and I was nearly desperately in search of a good jjajangmyeon spot. I was so happy to find Dong Bo Sung! Their combo with jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk or mandu is my go-to order now! I would say their jjajangmyeon is a little bit sweeter than most, but very good nonetheless.

This place is amazing for lip slurping black bean and Korean seafood noodles. The broth is extremely complex and tastes of a medley of seafood and the black bean noodles are the perfect consistency and drenched in a meaty black bean sauce. I highly recommend ordering sweet and sour beef with your meal. It is a lightly battered crisp meat dish that is served with a side of thick, sweet and tangy fruity sauce that compliments any noodle dish really well. Order lunch special to try out all of their thoughtfully made offerings without breaking the bank at around less than $10 a dish! Service is quick, and there is street parking to order ahead and quickly stop and pick up your meal.

The name of the restaurant was called Korean Chinese Restaurant so it might be a bit confusing to find this place. We came in for a late lunch on a Sunday and it wasn't packed. It was nice that we also got a private room with a long table that accommodated all of us (9 ppl). Overall the food was good. Fried rice and noodle soup were our favorites. Those dumplings were decent too. The mapo tofu could have been better. Service was quick and staff was friendly.

If you're craving Korean-Chinese cuisine that consistently tastes good and is fairly priced, this place is probably the best choice in Bergen County. The entrees, Jjampong (Seafood Noodle Soup) and Jjajangmyun (Black Bean Noodles), are delicious as staple choices. They also have many combo menu options so that you can pair noodles with a dish like Tangsuyook (Fried pork with honey sauce) or Kkampoongi (Fried chicken with spicy sauce) for a fraction of the price of these dishes that you can only usually order as a family size menu item at other restaurants. Even the family size portions, which we ordered, were the most economically priced. The ambience is not the fanciest but for your typical Korean-Chinese restaurant, it fills the bill. Finally, they have a hidden driveway that leads to a huge, free parking lot. Make sure you park in the back!

We came in as a group of 4, and we left so satisfied! This place is a bit of a hole in the wall,…read morewith very limited parking in the lot downstairs. We arrived around 3pm, and were seated immediately. We ordered the set with jjajangmyeon + jjampong + tang su yuk, as well as ganjjajangmyeon! This was definitely too much food for us, but it really hit the spot. The jjampong was flavored perfectly and wasn't too spicy. It came with a lot of seafood and was definitely worth it! Both jjajangmyeons were really delicious and savory, with the normal jjajangmyeon being lighter and the ganjjajangmyeon being heavier and smokier. Because it was so delicious, I also got an order of jjajangmyeon to go! They were super nice and gave me the option of pre-cooked noodles or raw noodles that I can cook at home so it stays fresh. Highly recommend giving a visit! One of the better places I've had for noodles!

We were heading to HMart in the area and decided we needed lunch before going groccery shopping…read more Never go food shopping while hungry! We managed to find parking across the street and it was free too! They're super nice here and I really enjoyed my jajangmyeon. I had the seafood, my husband had the original, and my friend had the pork. All were such a large portion for an affordable price. We also had an order of the fried pork, which was delightful. They refilled banchans often and we felt very well taken care of.

Rahongbu Malatang - Dry pot

Went to Rahongbu Malatang for some dry pot on a weeknight for dinner. It's in the same restaurant…read moreas Hong Chun Cheon, which serves dakgalbi. The dry pot here is similar to others, where you serve yourself from a raw bar, the ingredients are weighed, and they cook it for you to the spice level of your liking. I don't like that noodles are charged separately from the weight of the other ingredients (vegetables, fish cakes, meat, etc.) Because of this, i almost opted to order one of the dakgalbi dishes on the menu for Hong Chun Cheon. However, the prices listed on the menu are for one serving. When i tried to order, the lady at the counter explained I had to order two order minimum. So the real price for one order of cheese dakgalbi is $51.90, not $25.95. This was annoying because I was the only person who wanted dakgalbi, which mean i ended up not getting it. I did get my dry pot though. They make it spicy just like everyone else. At about $16 per pound with separate charges for noodles, it's slightly more expensive than other dry pot restaurants in the area. I eventually wanna come back for the dakgalbi, but I'm gonna need to make sure i have a partner beforehand.

Upon getting a table, you can order either the mala options or the chicken bbq (닭갈비) options. If…read moreyou're getting mala, you can self-serve any ingredients you'd like - malatang was cheaper ($14.95/lb) than the dry pot version ($16.95/lb). There aren't too many options but still ample to make a delicious mala dish. I got the Malatang with the Medium level which was the best for me, although I was sniffling a bit towards the end. I think Mild is also a great option, as it was still flavorful with a slight heat. We had a bit of a wait on Friday night as expected but luckily, upon being seated it's just a matter of waiting for the kitchen to prepare your dish. They offered us complimentary sweet potato tempura on the house which helped curb our hunger in the meantime. There are only three people working front of house so please be patient!

Some of the most delicious Chinese food we've ever had! We found this restaurant on TikTok, and…read moresince it was so close, we immediately got up and went to try it. We were seated right away, even though it was BUSY! The service was excellent, the staff consistently checked in on us and kept our waters refilled. We've already been three times in the past month. Between the food and the service, it's such a great experience and keeps us coming back!

Lately, I've been seeing Instagram videos for Soup Dumpling Plus. Glowing reviews, accompanied by…read morephrases like "best dumplings ever" and "usually a long line". I live near the restaurant and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out where this place was. Then my wife reminded me that we've been here like 6 times in the past 3 years; way before the recent hype. I just never knew the name of the restaurant So YES, the Soup Dumplings are good, but just don't come for that. They have a large menu, with lots of Chinese food, that shouldn't be skipped. This visit we started with a Cucumber Salad, and then 1 order of Soup Dumplings, Beef & Scallion Pancake, and Mapo Tofu. This may be a broad statement, and vague, but most everything here is good. However, the Mapo Tofu was probably the worst we ever had. Strange looking, and we felt cornstarch was added to thicken up the brown gush. The White Rice that came with it was not so great either. As for the long lines...they have a waitlist where you put your name down . But they do a great job of turning covers. Honestly, I don't think we've ever waited more than 15 minutes for a table. Big shout out loud to the girl who was constantly re-filling our water glass.

Ambience: 3/5. Fairly small dining area. It seemed like most people would actually get takeout…read moresince we saw several people come in to pick up food. It did start getting busy around peak lunch time though. There is a bathroom but you have to ask them for the key. Food: 5/5. Hands down the best jjajjang I've ever had. I'm usually more of a jjampong fan but I found myself getting way more servings of jjajjang. The sauce is rich in a way I haven't tasted before and borderline addictive. The first bite already had me thinking "oh no, this is going to become a new craving". The Jjampong was also good (although outshined by the jjajang). I guess I was expecting more considering the place is called 333 jjamppong. We got the seafood one and I felt like the noodles were just a TAD bit overcooked but I was surprised at how soft the squid was, not at all tough and chewy. It also had quite a nice spice kick to it. The tangsuyuk was perfectly fried, crispy with moist chicken inside and not too oily. We tried the fried meatballs for the first time which was quite rich as well although definitely felt a bit heavy when paired with all the other fried food. If I come here again I'd definitely go for the jjajjang and tangsuyuk. Service: average 3/5

The jajangmyeon was pretty good but a little too watery for my taste (a lot of sauce vs. noodles)…read more But I will say that there were plenty of toppings in it! We also ordered some sides but nothing too standout in my opinion including kkanpunggi which had good flavor but not quite crispy enough. Overall the meal was decent, seating was a little tight, and parking is a little limited but worth trying once.

Good place for Korean Chinese place, but little pricy. We order 2 noodle and 1 sweet & sour pork,…read moreand it costs about $60.

The dining room was empty when we rocked up on a weekday late afternoon, and it was nice to sit at a table by the window for a street view.

I love how theirs comes with loads of veggies, even as I question the use of green beans which is a first for me (to see them in sweet and sour pork). And while it was distracting and would rather have the dish without the beans, the star of the fish, the pork, was just right and we gobbled it up. I hope they stay open for a long time.
