    Jajang noodles
    Hwal L.

    Barely 30 minutes into lunch service, so we expected to see one or two groups of diners at most. Instead, we walked into a bustling room chockfull of people, some of whom had yet to order, apparently. There was one front-of-house staff literally hopping and running around the room taking and bringing out orders, so after what felt like 20 minutes, we were seated and so the 5-star experience began. - Jajang with green noodles: possibly one of the best we've had EVER. The smoky flavour of the onions, sleek, warm, tender noodles, and the odd zucchini and pork all made for a knockout bowl of jajang. 5/5 - Sweet and sour pork: tender chunky pork with light batter, sticky sauce with an apple curry tinge, and a colourful mix of veggies. My only wish is for a bit more of those crunchy fresh veggies. 4.5/5 The staff is forgiven for not checking on us once, and the place otherwise seemed to be run like a well-oiled machine. It seems also that you could pay at the register or have the staff bring three cheque to the table. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

    The food is okay. Just average and nothing to write home about. We ordered jjamppong and the seafood iron plate jjajang. To our taste, jjamppong was spicy and salty. I thought the jjajang was on the sweet and greasy side, and while my brother agreed with me, he said he also caught a weird spicy flavor in his first bite. Radish kimchi was absolutely the worst with a weird petroleum? acetone? type of taste and scent. No one else ate it after my experience. We ordered delivery from here using Uber Eats because we wanted to take advantage of a deal and it was the only Korean Chinese that was available, but it's definitely not worth paying full price. If you have the time to spare, it's better to check out better options further south in Bergen County.

    4% off your bill if you pay in cash. I enjoyed the fried dumplings as an appetizer. Everything tastes better fried and this was perfectly crunchy and airy. The stir fried vegetables with tofu, while ordinary, was still better than my expectations. I'm a fan of tofu and this one is fried and goes with the theme that anything fried is good. Onto the entrees and we got more fried things. I e ordered kkanpungi and I had better elsewhere. The sauce flavor was a tad too sweet. Jjangmyeon with the green noodles was good but I would give the edge to the brisket jampong.

    I LOVE this restaurant! Great ambiance, amazing staff and delicious food. They have an diverse flare of Korean inspired Chinese dishes and what a great combination all of their dishes are. This time I ordered their Spicy shrimp with stir fried vegetables, which also came with a side of soup. I will say, the dish traditionally comes with peanuts but since I am allergic, they customized my order. The shrimp were a great size and the flavors of the dish had me wanting more! A little on the spicy side so next time I know to ask for less or no spice. Overall, amazing restaurant!

    Looove their jjajangmyun. They're always generous with the portions and everything is so tasty. It's hard to find Korean-Chinese restaurants with jjajangmyun and jjamppong you get in Korea (iykyk) but this is one of the very few places in Bergen that I approve of, personally!

    Overall, I'm going to say... no but okay? The jajangmyun is definitely NOT the best here. There was almost a burnt flavor for the fried jajangmyun... it was weird lol. The japjae bab is good if you want something less oily, but still, of course nothing is healthy here. The one with spicy peppers is okay but there is not enough protein at all; probably like three pieces of small beef. I was not happy. The tansuyook is meh; almost had a heart attack watching my sister drink the sugar sauce. The jampong is better than jajangmyun and you will not find any healthier options here. Price is ok, but I would not come back at all unless I was forced to. Side story: I was in the bathroom and the lights turned off and I was just in the dark for a while rip

    I was so excited to try Korean style Chinese food! My friends ordered several dishes to try! The was super spicy. My friends said it was abnormally spicy and they also felt pain while eating it . We also got a seafood soup which was delicious and which is like a pineapple chicken and sweet which we really needed to balance the spicy black noodles!

    Tangsuyuk

    I have never had freshly made jjajangmyeon, only the instant variety, but I've seen so many videos online and TV shows that have glorified this noodle dish to celebrity status. I've had the original inspiration, the Chinese zhajiangmian, which is fundamentally different from the Korean-Chinese jjajangmyeon, and thus doesn't count! I told Mikaela of my plight and she took me here to try it for myself. For good measure, we also ordered tangsuyuk, sweet & sour crispy pork, which came with the eponymous sweet and sour sauce in a separate dish, allowing us to control how the crispy pork would be sauced. We opted to pour the sauce over some of the pork, and then allow the rest to be dipped to our delight. Our jjajangmyeon came and was big! Our noodles were green which is super cool! It was a lot of food between the two of us, and I could barely finish my jjajangmyeon. We took the tangsuyuk to go but the lady suggested we not pour sauce over it because it would get too soggy by the time we got home. No sauce. I was satisfied knowing I got to try non-instant jjajangmyeon. The flavor was nice, nothing too extreme, though it got a bit much trying to finish it all. I kind of wished there was a little extra kick (I don't know what kind of kick) but that's also not jjajangmyeon. I was still satisfied! Servers were all nice and service was quick!

    Do not recommend jjajangmyun or jjambbong. Service is also very slow, have to ask many times for water or check.

    The server lady was so unkind and food was not special. Still it is kind of pricey compared to other similar restaurants.

The…read morespace is really nice with a lively upscale vibe without feeling too fancy or pretentious. There is a beautiful raw bar area, lots of seating, and overall just a really good atmosphere for a group lunch or even drinks after work. The staff was on point the entire time. We were a pretty big group and everything still came out smoothly and nobody ever felt forgotten which I appreciated. We started with oysters and they were fresh and really good. Definitely one of the better things we ordered. The fried calamari was okay but not something I would specifically come back for. The Caesar salad was actually really good and I liked that it had anchovies in it because a lot of places skip that now. I ordered the lobster roll and thought it was the perfect lunch portion. Enough food without feeling too heavy after. Other people at the table ordered burgers, steaks, and pizzas and everyone seemed happy with their meals. The pizzas especially went fast. Overall really good experience. Good food, great service, nice atmosphere, and a menu with enough variety that everyone found something they like.

TVs on. Area was crowded with very loud bargoers. People bumping our chairs, and we honestly could not hear ourselves think. Service was slow. The food was decent. I enjoyed my linguini fruit de mar which had a fresh tomato sauce and lots of different types of seafood. Kids enjoyed the pasta too. My wife had the fig and prosciutto pizza which had that nice sweet fig taste. The apple beignet was delicious but I would not call it a beignet - more like a... pocket? Portions were sizable. New York city prices. $11 for a side of french fries. $36 for my pasta. $75 for a paella for two.

First off, the staff was extremely nice, both on the phone while placing our order and during our seamless pickup. Though we took the food to-go, their dining room was certainly cozy and comfortable enough for dining in on another occasion. When we got home and unpacked the food, we saw that the portions were generous and that everything was well-packed. We started by sharing the unique, Handmade Thai Crepe Dumplings. The beautiful dark purple noodle wraps had been stuffed with peanuts and turnips, a spectacular flavor combination covering salty, nutty, and sweet profiles. I then had my Tom-Yum Soup, which had been served in a quart container that was about 2/3 full, so a bit more than a pint. The spicy, sour lemongrass broth was packed with mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, and tender white meat chicken, which we had asked to be added. The soup had been prepared with a medium spice level that was ideal for the dish. However, the restaurant was not shy with their spices on the main courses! I went with my standard Pad Se-Ew with Chicken, for which I do not typically specify a heat level. However, the restaurant's menu mentioned that spice could be added between mild and extra hot. I asked for medium, but it was definitely more fiery than I had expected! However, the noodles were delicate and the Chinese broccoli was fresh and crisp. My mouth might have been a bit numb, but I could still tell that the dish was tasty! Everyone else loved their individual plates, though we all took note that we should be more careful with our requested spice levels going forward. In addition to our own meals, we shared an order of the Garlic Noodles with Chicken, since it was an unusual dish for a Thai restaurant. It contained sautéed, flat rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, scallions, garlic, sesame oil, and tender chicken. A mild heat level was perfect for this, as the lack of fire allowed the robust sesame and garlic notes to make an impact. Each piece of chicken was lean, moist, and tender. SOD Thai really exceeded my expectations and was definitely a local gem that we would order from again!

Homey, family run, authentic eatery that brings in the hospitality of the Land Of Smiles. I was there for dinner recently for a family event and we ordered 7 entrees and some appetizers and had it family style. Most notable dishes were the Chive Pancake appetizers - light and fluffy, crusty on the outside with a tangy tamarind sauce to accompany. For the main entrees: the Shriracha Fried Rice was outstanding. Well balanced and tangy with just enough heat and crunch. The Pad See Noodles and Garlic Noodles were both heavenly. You could taste that the rice noodles were made fresh, each day. You won't want to miss the Tamarind Shrimp either. A most unique dish. The other remarkable dishes was the Green Curry with papaya and bamboo shoots. Simply divine. For each entree, you decide what kind of protein you'd like or go vegan. Reasonably priced with attentive and friendly service. Don't let the strip mall vibes put you off. Park the car, pull up a chair and get ready to feast. You won't be disappointed.

Honestly, every single dish was delicious. The dakgalbi was spicy in the best way with that cheesy finish, the bossam was tender and satisfying, and the grilled mackerel and calamari were both cooked perfectly. It was the kind of meal where everyone at the table keeps saying, "wow, this is so good." We left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to order next time.

I had never had steamed skate anywhere before so my acquaintance told me that I wouldn't like it because it's "pungent" but I'm so glad I got to try it because I LOVED IT. So savory, flavorful, and packed with umami. Another good thing is their extensive menu. I can't wait to come back to try the rest of their dishes. The interior decor is very nice as well. The high ceilings and black color theme give it an elevated feel. And the staff is very nice and accommodating CONS: their air conditioning was broken when we went in the middle of summer (which I'm sure they'll eventually fix). I didn't mind because I love the heat but my acquaintance was sweating uncomfortably. Also, the food was good and some dishes were great but I wouldn't say it's the "best I ever had." The grilled beltfish was very plain (and bland) until I squeezed lemon juice all over it. It's the type of place that has endless comfort food and is your regular go-to spot (or go to order in) when you feel too lazy or tired to cook (or hungover) rather than a special occasion spot This place is decent and reliable. And everyone needs one of those in their back pocket to lean on.
