I really liked this place. To me, it screams authentic Korean comfort food. The menu is pretty simple. There aren't many choices, most of them are soups and they are all good. Decor is also authentic and minimal. There are no outrageous bells and whistles. The place has an atmosphere of that of a family business run by dedication and hard work. In addition, the prices are fair. Service was good as well. The woman at the front was pleasant and kind. I would come back on a cold day for a nice hot soup. read more

The food was so delicious and felt like home. Our waitress was so kind and attentive. We ordered the gomtang and the yukgaejang - both were phenomenal and filled with flavor. We also ordered the kimchi pancake and that balanced out the meal well by having something solid to eat with our soup. I look forward to coming back! read more

Gomtangjip - Gomtang Deluxe, Yukgaejang - Korean Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

It's a universal fact that soup can be comforting and healing... especially when you're sick on a cold Winter day. It was Christmas and I was craving a bowl full of hot broth and protein. After doing tons of research to see which businesses were open on a holiday, I found Gomtangjip! It's a Korean restaurant in Pal Park that specializes in traditional beef broth soups. Parking can always be a bit of a challenge in this area, but keep driving around and you'll find a spot. The restaurant's interior is casual and modern with an authentic, no frills type of vibe. It's a small spot with a few tables for 10-12 groups. They also have a lot of take-out orders coming in. The menu is limited to nine dishes. Yes, you guessed it... all of them are soup! The main dish is gomtang, a premium beef broth with brisket meat, chuck roll meat, round heel meat, and white rice topped with scallions and green onions. Other popular items are kkorigomtang (beef bone milky broth with oxtail meat), seolleongtang (beef bone milky broth with brisket & noodles), galbitang (beef short rib soup), and yukgaejang (spicy beef soup). So yes... lots and lots of beef! The broths are known for being highly nutritious and rich in nutrients like collagen, calcium, protein, and vitamins. I ordered the Gomtang ($14.99) which included a side dish of kimchi and pickled vegetables. Service was quick and I got my food within a few minutes. They also started me off with complimentary hot tea. My meal was nicely presented on a wooden tray with gold-colored utensils and bowls. The broth was piping hot and comforting. As for the flavor, I wasn't too crazy about it. It was very clean and light - too light for my taste. I expected it to be a lot more richer and savory with an intense beefy flavor, but it wasn't. You have the option of adding salt & pepper, but it didn't do much to enhance the overall flavor. The best part of the soup was the meat. The meat cuts were large and tender! The menu doesn't state that white rice is included IN the soup, but I didn't mind. I would've preferred noodles but I don't think they offer that as an option. The side dishes of kimchi and pickled vegetables were very fresh. I enjoyed the crunchy textures and fermented/tangy flavors. I wish they offered more complimentary banchan (as most Korean restaurants offer a standard 4-6 side dishes per order). The portion size was fair for the value - I was pretty full after finishing everything. The owner was very sweet and asked me how my experience was. I wouldn't get the gomtang again just because it's not my personal preference - the broth is too light for me. BUT don't knock it 'til you try it. I would definitely come back to try their other soups though! read more

The temperature is dropping and I don't know what else top this meal!! It was amazing and so comforting. We ordered the rich Seolleongtang - milky bone broth with slide meat and noodles, kimchi pancake, and potato pancake. Food came out pretty fast even though it's a small team. It was a full house even close to closing time! And lots of take out orders. I seriously wish I can live in NJ just to eat this everyday !!! I drank every sip of that rich collagen soup. The banchan of kimchi and radish was refreshing and great paired with the soup. read more

Came here after a nice hike! We were craving some good soup and this place was just the place! We walked in and it was spacious. As we got seated, we took a look at their menu and noticed that it was very selectively small. A few soup options and some mini pancake options. Each soup order does come with rice and radish kimchi and onion dipping sauce. Besides being surprised at the limited options, I'd like to think that's because they are known for their soups. Upon first sip, I could see why. The broth was milky white and translucent. It had the cleanest beef flavors without the smell. My mom does not eat beef and yet, she had the whole bowl because the beef soup was THAT clean. The beef wasn't chewy or mushy, it had the right bite and it slid nicely off the bone. As with most Korean beef soups, you can add salt and pepper to your liking on the side. It definitely did need a sprinkle of salt to tie it all together. A sip of soup, spoon of rice and a bite of radish kimchi... very comforting meal after a cold hike! The potato neon was also incredibly nice! I'd go back for that again and try a different soup! read more

What a cute little gem of a place! Mark, we thoroughly enjoyed our soups and our kimchi and seafood pajuns. It was delicious, well prepared and so comforting! So happy to have found this place! The soups came out super quick and the women there were so kind. read more

The food was delicious and the soups had a clean and deep flavors! I really enjoyed the side dishes as well. Although, I wish they had more options for side dishes. The gomtang and galbitang were well portioned but a bit pricey for what you're getting overall. I wish they had some spicy seasonings to add, especially for the galbitang. The restaurant filled up pretty quickly while we were there for Sunday lunch. It's just a simple and comfortable place. I've also done takeout from here which was great! The woman who serves there is very nice and attentive! Great service. read more

I came here craving great soup, and this place did not miss! The ambiance took me straight back to an authentic restaurant in Seoul, and the owner--a lovely Korean woman--offered such warm and welcoming service. I ordered the Galbi-tang and the gomtang, and both were incredible. The beef was tender and flavorful, served in a bubbling bowl of perfectly seasoned bone broth. Can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! read more

Came in late in the ending after landing at EWR and on way up to Albany. Ordered Galbitang (Korean short rib soup) for the long drive up north. Since I came in at late hours almost near closing. They served the food within 5 min. Other than limited side dish, the soup and kalbi were delicious. Will have to come back in the future to try other dishes. read more

3.5 for the taste First time trying gomtang and don't think it's my thing. It's way too bland for my liking We got the gomtang deluxe 3.5/5: more flavorful than the kkorigomtang. But I didn't like that the rice was in the soup.. meat was also on the smaller portion Kkorigamtang 3/5: very bland and even when you add salt. It just tastes like salty water and liked that there was noodles Seafood pancake 4/5: a little thick but decent texture and flavor Best thing was the side of kimchi and radish! Super flavorful and fresh I'm sure gomtang itself is super healthy and has plenty of collagen but don't think I would get it again read more

We came here after going to king sauna, and it was pretty empty and it took us a full minute to get the attention of the one woman who was serving/working in the front. Granted it was kind of close to closing time but service here was off. The kalbitang was perfect. I will say no more. My boyfriend also enjoyed his yukgaejang. The side dishes were nothing to write home about and the kimchi was a bit too sour for my taste (it wasn't overly fermented, it was just sour). We also got a mini seafood pancake which was not worth it. I would definitely come back for the soups. read more

We tried two dishes...and unfortunately it didn't meet our expectations. The atmosphere was nice and the service was decent. Our main concern was the food. My spouse ordered galbitang, and the sauce was TOO SALTY ....I tried it as well, and for someone who likes savory things, it was quite salty for the soup - and we didn't even season the soup- because the lady server said it was already seasoned, and therefore it wasn't necessary....it is not what we tasted in Korea when we visited earlier this year. And seollongtang was BLAND....for this one I know what a good one is, and it lacked flavor for sure. I mean because I paid for it we did finish the meat and I finished my soup. I did address our concern to the lady server and she told me that's how it's suppose to taste... Inside my head, I was like "no it's not.." But eh ..we are from out of town... I would not visit here again.... read more

Perfect place for soup on a super cold night! Gomtangjip specializes in gomtang with nothing else on the menu. That's how you know you can count on their soup. Upon entering the small shop the staff is welcoming and hurries to not keep anyone waiting. The entire room was packed but my husband and I were able to be seated quickly. We ordered the kimchi jeon, gomtang, and the kkorigomtang. Kimchi jeon 5/5 just what you'd expect - juicy kimchi on the inside, hot and crispy on the outside, not soggy Gomtang 5/5 I didn't need to add salt or pepper. The soup had its own seasoning and flavor. Kkorigomtang 5/5 Milky broth with chunks of meat The entries came in a beautiful tray with side dishes. The soups were good and warmed us up though we were seated by the door. You are served hot tea from the beginning. If you want ice water, you'd have to ask. Parking is hard to find. There's limited street parking. Otherwise there's a small parking garage next door but that fills up quickly. Across the street, there's a municipal parking lot as well. So glad there's a good gomtang place in Palisades Park now! read more

4.75 stars Friendly and sweet staff, excellent gomtang but the real stars of the menu that I tried were the galbi anything. Galbitang very light yet savory in the best of ways. Galbijjim well marinated and super tender. This dish alone can be shared with 2 people, or one hungry hungry champ Best of all, these portions are generous. Huge chunks of short rib and pairs so well with all the sides and Rice. Kimchu tasted a bit too fermented and sour but I'm just being picky. Price is very reasonable too. read more

I had a really enjoyable meal at Gomtangjip! The service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant was well lit and clean feeling. On the side, we were given napa and radish kimchi and marinated onions/peppers. The kimchi was fresh and you could tell that it wasn't marinated for a long time so the flavor was lighter and less fermented (personal taste. I personally prefer it to be more sour/fermented but it was still enjoyable regardless.) The seafood pancake was a good size and was cut in fourths. It was $5, a good value. The prices of everything else were fair and for the price it was a very enjoyable meal. I ordered the Dogani-tang, one of my favorite dishes. I enjoyed it, they were pretty generous with the amount of meat that they serve. My friends ordered the kalbitang and the gomtang supreme and enjoyed it but have had better elsewhere. Overall I would return again if I were in the area. read more

NEW AUTHENIC GOMTANG SPECIALTY SPOT! Gomtang, also known as Gomguk, is a clear beef soup made by boiling different cuts of beef (usually brisket). It is a light and milky like broth that is usually seasoned with guk-ganjang (soup soy sauce). What we ordered: Gomtang Deluxe: This was so soothing and light hearted. It is a rice dish in soup topped with thinly sliced pieces of beef brisket. Galbi jjim: This is my personal favorite because I love the sweetness of their soup. The gabli meat is tender and so meaty. Gamjajeon (potato pancake): This was so yummy I literally ate most of it! It's giving hash brown vibes. Haemul pajeon (seafood pancake): Good ol classic seafood pancake Overall, we love this spot and am so glad that we found it! Would definately come back when we are around the area. read more

This was the last stop on our road trip and we were starving and craving some hearty Korean soup so we stopped by Palisades Park before we went back to the city. You know the place is good when they depend on one type of dish (beef soup) for their business. It reminded my boyfriend of a really good spot he went to in LA. The menu only has 4 dishes and I got the cartilage milky soup while my boyfriend got the gomtang delux and both were very warm and great for a cold rainy day!! Both dishes came with complimentary kimchi and don't forget to add the salt. :) We had no trouble finding parking on the street and the nice little restaurant was located in the heart of a New Jersey Korean community. There was only one waitress but she was super attentive and the food came out fast. Everyone around us were locals! read more

I was craving something soupy and comforting on a really cold night, and this place absolutely hit the spot! The restaurant specializes in gomtang so the menu is small, but that's how you know the food will be really good. The owner is so friendly and attentive, and made me feel like I was eating at someone's home. I ordered the regular gomtang and it was perfect. There was no need to add salt because the soup was already flavored well. There was a good amount of meat, and the kimchi and radish kimchi paired nicely with the gomtang. I also loved how it was served with gold colored bowls and utensils on a wooden tray. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back! read more

Authentic!! When you step into a place when the majority of the clientele is of the same ethnicity as the food served, you know it's a hometown feel. Staff speaks mainly Korean, best to point at the menu of what you want to have. Menu is simple, only a few dishes. Restaurant name is on point of what they serve, the mains are all soup! Perfect for a rainy day like when our party of 8 came in. Staff is super friendly. The older woman (grandma like) is super sweet, treated my 7 year old like her own family. She cut his meat into tiny pieces and kept calling him baby, super cute! Venus: located on a side street, Medium sized Venue, clean and nice decor on the walls. Food: We ordered the seafood pancakes, variety of soups, and the most expensive soup that has the combo meat and chives. Seafood pancake: individual size, good for 2 people. Perfect crunch and good amount of seafood. Soups- Oxtail soup: delicious, clear broth Oxtail and gelatin soup: clear milky delicious, hit the spot. You get a good amount of the gelatin. Beef soup: my son enjoyed it. Tomato broth beef soup: Good for consumers that love dry mushrooms, lots of it. Boiled combo: great clean taste All the soups come with rice and kimchi. Will definitely come visit again! read more

Ordered through ubereats Kkorigomtang- ate it the next day and it did get like gelatin like which I love cus some places fake the milky bone broth with milk. Flavor was good. Def would get this again Gomtang- not bone broth. Broth is from brisket. Was good but not as good as the kkori. You gave the option of reg rice or rice from the hot stone. Comes with side of kimchi/radish and pickled radish and green onions and salt Packaging was okay. I didn't like that the broth was in a bag and then in the big wide black container. I prefer the slimmer clear containers. There was no broth spillage until I transfer it to a pot Glad this is here cus gammeok hasn't been as good read more
