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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

Not so sure about other dishes in the menu, but their fried shrimp/fried pork with garlic sauce is so good !!! Crispy !!! Well fried !!! Right amount of spiciness to the sauce !!! We always go for noodles in black bean sauce rather than Jjam-ppong. Try the "Jeng-ban" black bean noodle - that come out in two portions and already well stirred. Add some rice to the leftover sauce !!! read more
Came here randomly on a weekend without reservation and was able to be seated immediately. Plenty of street parking outside. The staff were efficient and the restaurant is really spacious, for your everyday meal, nothing fancy. We craved the fried korean pork and black bean noodles so we came here and it was the right decision. Each dish was so worth it in terms of amount and cost. The fried pork hit the spot and tasted very authentic, so did the black bean noodles and seafood noodles. Had plenty of leftovers to bring back too and the whole meal was very affordable. Would visit again! read more

Dong Bo Sung is a very small and unassuming restaurant but their food is delicious! They're most known for their Jajangmyun, and for good reason. Their jajangmyun was very good and cheap, only $9. I do wish they had more noodles in their jajangmyun though. My table also shared the Fried Chicken with Garlic Sauce. It was freshly fried and crispy. The sauce was tangy and delicious. I highly recommend if you're looking for a great Korean-Chinese restaurant that won't break the bank! read more

The service was very quick and the food was hot and fresh. It is not a big place but it wasn't cramped. I got the garlic chicken and fried rice as well as the fried dumplings. The chicken was good but I prefer white meat. Other than that the sauce was delicious and the rice was great. The dumplings were perfectly crunchy. read more

I came here with some friends to try their black bean noodle because we hear that it was really cheap. We didn't make it to get the lunch special offer, but the bowl of black bean noodles were still only $6.99. I have only tried black bean noodles a few times in my life. However, these black bean noodles tasted pretty good! It wasn't too saucey after you mixed it and the overall taste was delicious. They also give a pretty big portion so I shared it with my boyfriend. The staff there are very friendly and are very accommodating. We were the only customers there around 5pm on a Tuesday. I'll definitely be back if I'm craving black bean noodles. read more
I decided to give this place a try since I haven't been back for about 5 years or so. The reason I stopped going was bc the food simply changed and sanitation issue. I called and placed the orders. A man who answered the phone said it'll take 20 minutes. When I showed up after 20 minutes, the lady at the counter said what was your order?? She then goes through her tickets, checks in the kitchen, and comes back to tell me the order never went in. I was a bit annoyed, but decided to wait. A little bit into eating, I asked my husband, what is this black thing on the shrimp? (See photo) I was so disgusted! Needless to say, the rest of the food went you know where. Eat at your own risk! read more

We ordered the noodle with black bean sauce and fried chicken with garlic sauce. The noodle with black bean sauce was delicious, but a little oily for me. I felt like there was a lot of leftover sauce, so the dish needed more noodle? fried chicken was also really good and crunchy! The sauce on it was tasty! the parking entrance to the back is next to the store, but hard to find in the dark and super narrow, but free! read more

I'm not one to leave negative reviews but the rudeness and attitude of the male owner was atrocious. I found a cigarette butt in my food that I actually bit into. I called and the owner did not take responsibility or apologize. Saying there's not reason for that to be in there. I went back to get a refund and the female owner apologized. It's not my responsibility to figure out how it got in there and you'd think they'd apologize if anything when a customer calls to inform them what they found in their food. No one in my family including myself smokes. read more
This place would definitely be my go-to place if I lived closer to here. The location is very convenient because it's right next to the H-Mart Plaza. I heard there's a parking lot in the back, but you can also walk over from the plaza if anything. Whenever I go to a Korean-Chinese Fusion restaurant, I get jajangmyeon (or black bean noodle). This place is relatively really cheap. I came here for dinner and the price of one bowl was $6.99. This is even cheaper during lunch (I believe $5.99). The portion and the taste was pretty good too. The service was also really fast, and I don't see anything that could go wrong by coming to this place. read more

I've been coming here since I was 8 years old! I grew up to the taste of their soy bean noodles and I won't go to another other place. The decor is pretty sparse and, IMO, other nearby Korean-Chinese restaurants have better service and ambience, but I prefer the flavor here most! I also appreciate that they have split bowls so you can try smaller servings of two different dishes. I usually get the Jjamjjamyeon to alternate between spicy and soothing. One thing they could improve on is the kimchi! While the main courses are pretty good, I feel like the kimchi has too many dry chili flakes. read more
Usually one dish of Korean food is a little pricey, but Dong Bo Sung has these great combos for like $12. This is a great deal. I was able to get fried dumplings and my jajumien for less than $20. The food was really good and they give you a lot. I absolutely love Korean Chinese restaurants, and I'm glad I was able to find this gem that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for one dish. read more

Food was overly sweet here and the staff made us feel like we were unwelcomed with their attitude. You can always tell how good a Korean restaurant is by how their kimchi taste. The radish kimchi that they give you with your food was way too sweet, sweetest ive had. We ordered the jja jjang myun (black bean sauce noddle) and the noddle was soggy and the sauce was overly sweet. The tang su yuk (breaded fried beef with this sweet sauce) was too heavily breaded and too sweet. And you can taste that the beef wasn't the freshest. The jjampong (spicy seafood soup) was the only thing that was decent and the portion was huge. Service was awful. Waiter and waitress acted like they don't want to work there and were very inattentive and just didn't want you there. There are better places in Fort Lee for Korean Chinese food. This was our last visit here read more

Food isn't bad here, but they really overcharge compared most other Korean-Chinese restaurants in the area especially with their main dishes. Also, this is the only place I know where they charge extra for picking-up food AND deliveries. I don't think I'll be stopping by again anytime soon because there are so many other restaurants like this in this area with much better deals. On average, I will save about $5-$10 elsewhere for more or less the same quality, if not better. read more

I come here all the time since it's so close to my home. They have parking spaces at the back. I've tried many different korean-Chinese restaurant places in the town, and I think Dongbosung has one of the better black bean noodle dish. Their other dishes were pretty good too. The prices of their dish compared to other restaurants might be slightly more expensive, but I think they give decent portion for the price. I had one incident where the noodles were not fresh (hence taking off one star) but other times were pretty satisfactory. The service is average, not super friendly, but fast and accommodating. Will always be my go to korean Chinese restaurant ! read more
