I was craving Korean food the other week and my girlfriend suggested Bunsik Nara. I had never been…read moreso of course I was down to go. We went around 5:30PM so a pretty early dinner and there weren't too many other people eating. It did start to get busy when we were leaving though. The service was fairly quick and the place itself is clean and bright. I got the Chicken Mayo Dupbab, basically chicken katsu over rice. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and delicious. It all paired perfectly with the white rice it was served over. My girlfriend got the ribs with eggs and kimchi fried rice. That was really good too. The kimchi rice wasn't overwhelmingly kimchi-flavored and the ribs were super tender. We also split some cold buckwheat noodles. Those were pretty average to me, but I still enjoyed them. My only gripe is that Bunsik Nara is a little pricey.

For neurodivergent folks, it is on brighter side with LED lighting and TVs along one of the walls (just a heads up!) I loved the kimchi and the salad panchan, I couldn't help but order more! Great palate cleansers. The gimbap was generous with their filling. The odeng was very warming to the soul and had a good amount of fishballs. The boneless chicken was also a good portion size and super tasty. The chicken was juicy and the scallions were fresh. The above order was more than enough for 4 people; no take home portions, but we definitely were hungry. If I could order something else to try the next time I go, I would family style their tteokbokki or their carbonara spaghetti since I was eyeing on them the entire time!

They have other options if you don't want soup like Jokbol, pig trotter. I know for most people that's not their cup of tea but a good hearty soup? That's for everyone. TLDR: Definitely go visit if you want some spicy flavorful soup alongside some really tender meat! It's delicious. Food: There is so much flavor packed into the Pork Bone Broth Soup that we were shocked when we tasted it! I couldn't stop drinking it. They give you rice on the side to eat with the soup. It's actually quite a large serving for a decent price. I do think the side dishes could be better, there are only two varieties they serve: Kimchi, Kimchi Horseradish, and Beansprouts. None of them stuck out. The Jokbal is delicious if you like pig trotter. Would not recommend for most eaters unless you want something new. Service: Nothing too crazy about the service. They came back for refills which is great. They were very nice and since it was busy they had to keep moving around. Nothing outstanding but solid work. I do feel with some Korean establishments there is a language barrier but they understand english well enough for foreigners to go. Environment: Newly renovated building gives it a sleek, modern look. It's very nice, seats are fine. Only issue is they had flies here and there that will go after the food. So please be prepared to be on the lookout. It's the primary reason we docked a point. The line was out the door so maybe they came from outside? They definitely need a better system for that though if it's a consistent problem.

Very spacious restaurant with lots of seatings. We were seated immediately on a Friday night. We all ordered the combo/mix-and-match and the portions were huge!! Loved the seaweed oyster soup and grilled mackerel. Others ordered the LA galbi which was probably one of the best we've had. So flavorful. Seafood pancake was also good. Prices were very reasonable. Staff were very friendly. Service was attentive and fast. Our Korean friend said their kimchi was one of the best she has had. No wonder the restaurant actually sells it in a jar. Only complaint is it's tiny parking in the front but street parking is also available. This restaurant definitely has become one of our favorites.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ DELICIOUSSSSS food and, more specifically, Katsu! ++++ Curry Katsu - Phenomenal and verrrry tasty potato curry, which I used to douse the white rice and katsu. Katsu was fried to perfection and extra crispy. Oh, and don't forget to use that Wang Sauce to dip your katsu as well. ++++ Gyu Don - Slices of beef were super tender and juicy and had plenty of sauce mixed in to flavor the white rice. ++++ Cream Pasta (with Pork Katsu and Shrimp) - Absolutely DELICIOUS. The cream pasta reminded me of a verrrry good Italian creamy pasta. With the katsu and shrimp, it was perfection. It gets a littttle bit pricey with the addition of the protein, but was well worth the extra $$$. + Menu is relatively simple with 9 set entrees, so shouldn't make your head spin. + Food prices are pretty much on par with the other vendors in the food hall. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came by on a February Saturday evening at around 5:50 PM and business was pretty consistent for them. Since it's part of the H Mart Food Hall, seating was easily available right outside of the vendor.

I stopped by a food stand called call Kasume Donkasu to grab something for dinner…read more I ordered a new dish pasta chicken dish with spicy topping. The plate looked very attractive and well presented. It came with fried chicken cut into pieces, ramen noodles, shrimp, and a spicy touch that added a lot of flavor. The dish also comes with a sauce that you can either pour over the plate or use as a dip. I personally preferred dipping the fried chicken instead of pouring the sauce over everything, which kept the chicken crispy. The combination of fried chicken, noodles, shrimp, and the spicy flavor worked really well together. I really enjoyed it, and this has definitely become one of my favorite dish of this food stands inside the H-Mark market. The food court is shared with other food stamp. There's always a table that you could grab because people tend to eat and leave fast. And there is always a staff ready to clean the tables if they're dirty. There is no music, but it gets a little bit loud because of people chatting.

I got DatBokkeumtang, one of my favorite Korean dish, which I have been craving but couldn't find the right place to do it right. I saw the picture and realized it will be good. IT WAS GOOD.

I also tried Haemulpajeon which was very good as well.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ EXCELLENT Korean food with at least 33 items to choose from (plus new items they had posted by the cashier glass window). ++++ Sobulgogi Combo (#33) was superrrr delicious. The beef bulgogi was very fresh (as in piping hot), flavorful and tender. The small stone bowl of tofu (we got seafood) was also fantastic too. ++++ Dwejibulgogi Doisotbap (new on their menu), which was basically the same as the stone bowl rice entrees, but with sauteed sliced pork loin was excelllent too. Plenty of meat, rice and a perfectly runny egg on top. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nothing! This simple stall was just like the others, serving simple, but delicious vendor food. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Like the other stalls inside of this H Mart, this looked to be mom and pop run. = Just remember to return your tray and their bowls back to this stall just like the others.

Went here for a birthday and I'd say this place was average and slightly disappointing. The space…read moreis pretty clean and the atmosphere a nice vibe, but the food was a pretty meat heavy menu and I would love to see more vegetable options. I honestly prefer Gyu Kaku, but I do see potential for this place. A huge suggestion would be to add a sauce station as we only got 2 sauces for all of the meat, and it got a little repetitive. Another one would be to slow down the cooking process. The meat was coming really fast and it overcooked on the pot. Again, more vegetable varieties would be great, as it was mostly kimchi. If you go, I'd definitely recommend the marinated meats over the plain ones, because, again, the sauce! I'm pretty sure it was the sauce that goes with Korean seafood/scallion pancakes if you know what that tastes like. Service was pretty good and if these suggestions were in place, I'd definitely come again.

Kim Ga Meon Ok is a fantastic, relatively affordable Korean spot and definitely a local favorite!…read moreThey have two locations (one in Fort Lee and this one in Palisades Park), but I usually visit the Pal Park location right across from King Sauna on Commercial Ave. The setup here is entirely self-service. 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!
