What a yummy spot, with lovely service. Every bite was better than the last. Homemade kimchi, hand cut noodles, homemade dumplings. It seems you cannot go wrong. Casual, order at a kiosk, have yourself a great time. Can't wait to return! Kalguksu la galbi combo and shrimp/meat dumplings. So tasty. And. It feels like you're in someone's lovely grandma's kitchen. Delightful! read more

There's metered parking right out front, which is super convenient. I did notice some customers parking in the lot next door (it's technically for the bagel shop), so just keep in mind if you're parking there, it's at your own risk. The restaurant itself has such a cozy, homey vibe - very much a cute grandma and grandpa type of spot that immediately makes you feel warm and fuzzy like at your grandparents. One thing I absolutely loved: they give you an entire pot of kimchi with your order. Not just a few pieces on a small dish, but a whole pot. I wish it was a bit more fermented for my personal taste, but I really appreciate not having to keep asking for refills like at other places. The fried dumplings are a must order! The filling was super juicy and packed with flavor, honestly one of the highlights of the meal. We also ordered the classic yukgaejang kalguksu and the ox bone soup, and both were incredibly flavorful. The kalguksu noodles had that perfect chewy texture and paired so well with the rich, spicy yukgaejang broth. Everything felt comforting, like a warm homemade meal straight out of a grandma's kitchen. read more

Super solid spot. Grandma's Bapsang is a small restaurant with a small, but delicious menu. If you're craving something simple, warm, and "home-y", this is it. The noodles and dumplings definitely hit the spot, and the soups and meat are also great. read more

The food is pretty amazing here, everything we tasted was right on point. The dolsot bibimbap had the perfect blend of vegetables and beef, flavorful and the crispy rice is my favorite. The Kalbi was seasoned perfectly and grilled to just the right texture. The oxtail soup was super nourishing, perfect on a cold rainy day. This is mostly a self service restaurant where you order on the kiosk by the front window. They were very efficient in bringing out our order and the place is bright and clean. The homemade kimchi is also delicious. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Fort Lee. read more

My Korean parents are picky when it comes to food, and nowhere does that show up than with their own cuisine. So when they give their mark of approval to a Korean restaurant, I know it must be good. The name of the restaurant - Halmae Bapsang - translates to Grandma's Food Table, and that's quite literally what you should expect here. The owner is a sweet and fiercely joyful elderly woman who visits each table, sometimes to bring you your order or to wish you a happy meal. Our family ordered from all over the menu, and everything was markedly fresh. The cold noodles - whether in a broth or the spicy mixed version - are refreshing and chewy, while the kalguksu (or hot noodles) are filling and comforting. My mom is a particularly big fan of their dumpling soup, and I had the privilege of watching one of the chefs hand-making a new batch of dumplings. They are packed tight with filling and delicious. My own go-to order of hot stone bibimbap was spectacular (to note: they also have regular bowls of bibimbap for a few dollars cheaper). It's served with a squeeze bottle of gochujang so you can make it to your own spice level, and served with a bowl of rich ox bone soup. I tend to judge a restaurant's bibimbap by how crunchy the bottom layer of rice can get in the hot stone bowl, and the socarrat achieved here is tremendously charred and crunchy, adding the most amazing texture in this mixed rice dish. Orders are delivered to the table, but clean-up and retrieving or refilling water glasses are left up to the customers. This serves as a plus for two reasons - one, you don't have to wait on anyone for dining needs, and two, tip is optional. In fact, when my sister attempted to leave a customary 20% tip, the owner waved her away saying, "No, no, that's too much!" There are just a few tables and chairs, and a pretty small parking lot adjacent to the restaurant (as well as limited paid street parking right out front). Vibes here are small, simple, and cozy - just the way you'd expect it to be at grandma's place. read more

Stopped here on our way to NJ and very happy we were able to try the clam kalguksu, fried dumplings, and kimchi. The clam kalguksu was very clean tasting with ~10 fresh clams and nice toothsome knife cut noodles. It came in a big stainless steel bowl that I didn't think I'd finish, but it was light enough that I was able to eat it all without feeling too full. Fried dumplings were tasty, hot and crispy - only 4 came in an order. The kimchi came in a generous portion and had a nice bite that was not too acidic, spicy or sour - some of the best I've had in recent memory. Service was fast and the space is clean and well -kept. Self serve water station, self bus, and reasonable prices. Street parking was easy around 5pm on a Friday. Looking forward to returning after crossing the GW bridge on the way to NJ! read more

This place is clean and service was quick. Here, you put your plates on the counter after you are done your meal. I got the steamed dumplings with meat and the plain handmade noodle soup. The dumpling is definitely handmade with a good amount of scallion, the downside is that it is pretty pricey for only 8. The noodle soup was clean with a slight beef flavor. Def get the noodle soup!! read more

Delicious kalguksu! You order at the front and sit down once you receive your order. We got the steamed dumplings and 2 orders of kalguksu: clam and spicy beef. They also give you a whole big pot of kimchi! Very quiet for 8pm on a Sunday night. Only two tables at the restaurant. read more

Don't sleep on this small korean restaurant. The restaurant is an order at the counter and sit and eat kind of joint. It wasn't too crowded when we went but you can see into the kitchen and see the chef's working hard to quickly serve your food. You're first presented with a huge pot of kimchi as your starter banchan. The dumplings are a must! They were steamed to perfection. We got the clam and spicy beef kalguksu and they were both delicious. Not too salty with a ton of underlying flavor. read more

Cozy place. Owner is very sweet and very attentive. The food is so reasonably priced. The seafood pancake is the best I have had. The galbi was very flavorful and the hand made dumplings were also excellent. The cold noodle seemed to lack some flavor. The hand made noodle was good but also needed more flavor.

This is a cozy, casual spot run by a grandma. The food was delicious, and the menu was simple. It's mostly self-serve, but the owner was very attentive and came out to check on the tables regularly.

Grandma's Bapsang - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Grandma's Bapsang is a homey spot for heartwarming Korean food! Their kalguksu, mandu, and jigaes are all great! The gukbap has a really unique umami flavor so I'd recommend it if you like this dish! The clam kalguksu has a different broth than the regular one so if you like clams I'd recommend it. The mul mandu are really satisfying little bites! Next time I'll have to try the soondubu. I ordered by menu number but I think they misheard me so I ended up with a different dish. Everything is good so no complaints but it might be good to double check your order if you ordered by number or in English instead of Korean. The grandma is super kind and friendly and there is a lot of care in the food. Highly recommend for a casual spot with yummy Korean food! read more

Just had the Seafood noodles here. So good. The staff was very friendly and helped me picked something that didn't have beef or pork. I was just sad that they didn't offer any dumplings without pork or beef. I don't eat beef or pork and was as hoping to have some veggie or shrimp dumplings. Hopefully they'll offer those in the future. Highly recommend this place nevertheless. read more

Taste of home! If you are looking for an authentic Korean meal, this is the place to go! Gookbap translates to rice and soup. Most of the menu includes noodles or dumplings though. All are delicious. My husband and I met the grandma owner as we entered. She is so sweet - she offered us homemade sauce - be careful of the jalapeño spice - it's fragrant! The restaurant also sells bags of handmade stuffed dumplings on the side! We ordered : seafood kalgooksoo- huge portion 5/5 Yookgaejang 5/5 perfectly satisfies that soup craving feeling Homemade kimchi 5/5 perfectly fresh Self serve water, sauce, and kimchi. Clean and family friendly. Street parking. read more

Super delicious knife-cut noodles for a snowy day. All the soups come in big bowls, and takeout containers at the front if you want to take leftover broth home. The halmoni/grandma there is super sweet and might ask you how your meal is, please protect her at all costs and be nice!! :') Also please note that it is self service but sometimes the workers will bring stuff out for you if they're not doing anything else. Establishment is clean, and I love their kimchi there - I can't believe they don't charge extra for it and let you refill as much as you like (I wouldn't be surprised if they changed that soon). Clam kalguksu: Comes with a dipping sauce for your clams. The broth itself is sweetened naturally by the clams, and the noodles have an intrinsic flavor that also soaks up the flavor and saltiness of the soup well. The texture is just as soft and chewy as I like. Mandu Yukgejang: Comes with a bowl of rice. The lady will warn you that it's spicy, but if you're good with spicy food it'll be fine. Love all the softened green onion and gosari namul (korean fernbrake) in there. There is some shredded beef and glass noodles in there, but not a crazy amount. I loved eating the dumplings because the fillings get extra juicy after boiling in the soup for a bit. Overall I was the most impressed with the clam kalguksu. I inhaled it so fast I choked lol. I was kind of nervous about writing a rave review because I don't want people to come in with super high expectations (and put pressure on the sweet lady who works there). I came in not expecting anything too crazy, and I was pleasantly surprised. Super satisfied and happy right now and I don't feel icky/bogged down by the meal, so the food feels very clean. Definitely coming here again, even if it's just to eat alone. :) read more

Grandma's Bapsang - Clam Kalguksu, Mandu Yukgejang - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

My brother and I saw this new restaurant while driving by and decided to take some dumplings to go. The restaurant, which has 5 or 6 tables, was decently crowded on a Friday evening. The restaurant has an order area and pick up area, so we walked up to the order area and placed an order for eight steamed meat dumplings for $12.99 with grandma. She said that the dumplings would be ready soon, and we probably waited only about 5 minutes, if not less. Taking a bite of the dumpling, you can totally tell that it is handmade. However, each dumpling is small and skinny, and the taste is just okay. For something called "meat dumplings," there are more vegetables than meat. The vegetables included chives, zucchini, and something crunchy, which I suspect to be radish. The other reviews for this restaurant are for their noodles so it may be the case that their noodles taste better than the dumplings. But considering their menu only consists of dumplings, noodles, and a few rice dishes, it's not promising if an item that comprises a third of the menu is less than stellar. I might return to try the noodles, but I'll be getting my dumplings elsewhere. read more

Buy this grandma a business class ticket to Seoul and get her on the next season of Culinary Class Wars. Why? Because Auntie Omakase #1 has nothing on her. If you want the classics of Korean soul food cooked to perfection, look no further. The delicate and meaty soft tofu stew. The rich broth and chewy noodles of the kalguksu. The tangy yet not overly acidic kimchi. The fluffy and crispy seafood pancake, bursting with fresh green onions. Are you hungry yet? I haven't even mentioned the handmade dumplings (don't worry, others have). The place is homey despite the glassed in counter, and the food comes out quickly. Prices feel like pre-pandemic. Grandma has a kind word for everyone, so come and sooth yourself with her not-so-humble delicacies. read more

Wow. This place is amazing. Cannot believe we did not try this place earlier. The restaurant is located on Lemoine / 9W, north of the highway bridge, away from Fort Lee main street. There is a parking lot next to it but it seems like the parking lot is not actually associated with the restaurant, so we found street parking. The restaurant is cozy, clean and well kept. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. It seems like it is owned and run by the very nice Korean lady who staffs the counter. On a Thursday evening it was busy but not packed. They essentially have dumplings, soups and a few rice dishes. The dumplings are handmade and delicious and you get a bunch of them with one order, but warning - they are tiny. The soups are delicious. We had a noodle soup and a beef rib soup special. The big chunks of beef in the beef rib soup were tender, fell off the bone and very flavorful. Their green onion pancake is also very thick and crispy. We will definitely be back. read more

Food is amazing, had the spicy beef with noodles and fried dumplings. Would definitely go back

Service: 9/10: this shop is aptly named. Based on the brief encounter, the lady at the counter was exceptionally pleasant. Best way to describe it: she gives off similar vibes as one of those nice grandma in them Kdramas. Gives you that homely feeling. If you feeling down, highly recommend you go. I walked in hangry, left after saying something nice (which I rarely do, introvert). Food: 9/10 - kimchi was crisp, love the pot they serve it in. The beef rib soup hits all the right marks: meat was falling off the bones, dipping sauce compliments the meat very well; the clear soup was mellow enough to give you that cleaning feel, yet still has the base flavors of all the ingredients you see. read more

Dining at this little eatery is akin to a comparable food experience in the actual land of Korea, which we visited many years ago and loved our culinary adventures. We were going to a show in Englewood and wanted something nice and quick. Knowing that this region is full of Korean restaurants, we chose this place with great reviews. You know a restaurant is authentic when most of the diners are natives of that cuisine. There is a limited menu and the owner (grandma?) takes your order behind the counter, then you sit down and immediately a large jar of kimchi is put on the table. At first we thought it was way too much kimchi for one meal, but as soon as we tasted it - oh how fresh and delicious! - we realized that one could truly finish the whole jar in one sitting! It was the best kimchi we've ever tasted and we simply could not stop eating it! We asked if we could buy some to take home, and grandma said although plenty people had expressed that same wish, she wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand, since she had to make it everyday just to supply the restaurant. I loved her kimchi and her kind manner so much that I didn't even mind when my order got messed up (I had ordered K3 hand made noodles in seafood broth, but got K5 hand made noodles in clam broth). Husband ordered Tofu in seafood broth. The food is just heavenly! I even asked for an extra bowl of rice just so I could keep eating some more kimchi :-). read more

I wasn't feeling well so I figured some soup would hit the spot. I was passing through Fort Lee so I figured I'd search for soup places in Yelp, which mentioned this restaurant with a high rating but low number of reviews (I'm guessing it's new). I decided to get beef soup with knife cut noodles and beef dumplings - it was amazing and exactly what I needed. The broth was white but somehow not oily or salty and tasted like light bone broth - all the flavor I needed but not heavy. The noodles had a great texture to them and the dumplings were massive. The woman and man who handed me my order seemed very nice as well. I'll definitely be stopping here in the future to try other things on the menu! read more

Amazing!!!! This place is so delicious. Also, if you're heading across the George Washington bridge, it's a super short detour and when you get back on the bridge you get to skip some traffic.
