    Steamed Skate (Honggeo-Jjim) 홍아찜
    Luna C.

    Best Korean braised short ribs I've had. Super tender and literally melt-in-your-mouth. Savory with a little sweetness. Tried Korean steamed skate for the first time. I didn't mind it, but it does have a strong, gas-like aftertaste that might not be for everyone. The tofu with kimchi and pork was a comforting combo. Service was attentive and friendly. Definitely coming back to try more dishes. I also recommend the beef bone hangover soup, which is not in the pictures.

    HOLY COW ... one of the best Korean food spots I've EVER been to!! Came here with my family through a recommendation and so happy that we did. The staff was very patient with us as we sat down and waited for the rest of the group to arrive ... 20 mins late. We were given menus but didn't feel rushed to order. We were given tea and asked if we wanted water for the table. We order the beef bone hangover soup hot pot, 2 individual beef bone hangover soups, galbi and tofu soup combo, army stew hot pot, and 2 galbi tangs. Everything was plentiful and delicious. The hot pots can definitely feed a few or just one hungry person ... I'll let you guess which one I am. The galbi was cooked to perfection with the percise fat to meat ratio and so flavorful! The galbi in the galbi tang was very tender. Will I return?!? HELL YEAH!! As we were walking out, my husband said, 'so we coming back tomorrow?' .. LOL. Don't have to ask me twice ... we'll be back tomorrow. Wishing Haejang continued success!!

    Saw a TikTok of this restaurant and just had to try it. Thanks to that TikTok, it is now one of my favorite Korean restaurants. Super underrated and just hits the spot when I'm craving some Korean comfort food. First time here, we definitely over-ordered everything. The service was subpar the first visit, maybe because we sat in the back and the staff went on their lunch break, but we've had great service other times. The banchan here is the best -- love their fish cake, kimchi is fermented perfectly to my taste, and the radish is good too. They're pretty generous with the banchan too because they keep refilling. The menu of soups here is vast. The seaweed soup here is so simple but so good with the umami flavor. I thought their tofu soondobu was only okay and I wouldn't get again. The croaker is really good and huge. It was a bit dry though. The marinated raw crab was good but not the best. Majority of their dishes are good and affordable. Can't recommend this place enough.

    Rich ox bone soup
    Shashi R.

    Korean restaurant serving up soups, meats, and other classic dishes. Ratings: Rich ox bone soup 8/10 It's a clean light broth with a lot of small tendons and pieces in the soup. All of the meat is soft and tender. It doesn't have added flavor it tastes more like pure bone and tendon flavor without spices. Marinated pork ribs 8/10 Medium well pork ribs providing soft texture while being fully cooked. It's a flavorful marinated dish and even the onions underneath are soaking with the sweet sauce.

    Soondae soup set

    Clean and spacious. Haejang is a definite on my Korean restaurant rotation. Parking all around the area. Once you walk in, attentive staff! I sat and the menu was not overwhelming. I opted for the soondae soup set. The banchan was basic but the kimchi tasted good! The soup came piping hot and it was delicious! Unfortunately, the soondae itself was nothing special. I've had better (even at H-mart restaurant spot). By the way, get the "brown" rice. So much better than the normal white. As I was eating I saw the photos of the food on the tv so I decided to order an additional dish. The fried cuttlefish! (Aka calamari) and it was a big portioned fish that was delicious as well. Overall, I was satisfied and I would definitely come back to try the other items on the menu!

    New spot near the broadway LIRR that is some of the best and refreshing Korean food out there. They serve you quickly and with positive attitude. Inside is very tidy and they play nice music. Yummy soups will leave you feeling revitalized

    Spicy Stir-Fried Cuttlefish
    Mike S.

    The best thing about Haejang is the decor - the space is large and pretty nice with lots of exposed brick, natural wood tables and concrete floor. There are two entrances you can enter on Crocheron - this is the higher dinner room with the same level as the kitchen. The other entrance is on Depot Rd. to the lower, and larger dining room. A staircase connects the two. The 1st time I was here the weather was cooler, the place was newer and it was fairly packed perhaps because the majority of their menu are various soups. The second time it was warmer out and not too busy. I tried a couple of the soups. The beef blood hangover soup, which my friend enjoyed. I tried the rich ox bone soup, which had a lot of collagen in a milk broth, which was pretty bland. We also tried the stir fried cuttlefish, which was more vegetables than cuttlefish. I've had better versions of this. The next time got the spicy stir-fried pork, which is a relatively safe option because it is generally delicious. There was more pork compared to the cuttlefish version of this dish, but again not the best version I had of this. Tried white and purple rice - purple rice was a bit gummy and disappointing. The banchan was not too memorable with the radish being particularly disappointing. My partner in crime also tried the spicy marinated crab I tasted the sauce. This dish isn't my thing - too messy and too much effort for too little reward, but she said it was decent. Service was friendly. The clientele were mainly Koreans so it seems to be a popular spot with their core demographic. Being blessed with many great Korean restaurants in the area Haejang doesn't crack my top five.

    Nice interior to this restaurant. It has plenty of seatings and easy to find parking in the back of the residential area. The service wasn't so great in the beginning since we placed our orders but didn't get any banchan and got it after another table that ordered after us. The service gotten better and attentive when the server was another lady. We ordered the blood sausage and it came with 3 different fillings. Also, ordered the seafood pancake which was tasty. The spicy pork pot was the star of the show. It was so flavorful and the potatoes soaked up all the flavor. Add rice to it and perfection. I would come again, if was a really nice hearty meal.

    My friends and I tried a variety of dishes. I enjoyed the LA galbi, rich ox bone soup, soy garlic bossom. We ordered a few other spicy dishes including the spicy marinated crab and the naegmyeon raw fish - where I asked the server who was scooping it for us, whether it was spicy or not and she kept insisting for me to try. However it was too spicy for my liking and if you're like me and don't like spicy, be wary of the spicy dishes. I was disappointed afterwards because I know my spice tolerance, and if she told me it was spicy I would've have tried it at all. On the other hand, my friend described it as a kick, and he was ok with it.

    Our first time trying Haejang and we enjoyed a variety of apps and dishes as well as ox bone soup. The sliced marinated pork trotter dish was very good and most dishes are large enough to share. The restaurant was spacious and bright and service was friendly.

    Stir-Fried Crab
    Mimee S.

    I've been here two times already and hands down they have the best soondooboo! Everything here is delicious. Must order: Soondooboo (not on the menu but just ask for it) Grilled Flounder Seaweed soup Marinated pork ribs Spicy beef rib soup Skip: Steamed Blue crabs (a bit mushy and not much flavor) Stirr fried blue crabs (mushy also but the sauce is so good with rice) Soy garlic bossom (too fatty) The korean aunties are super friendly and space is very big and clean.

    Seafood pancakes
    Wei T.

    The restaurant is spacious and new. The tasty is authentic and on point. You can know it because 90% customers are Korean. The menu is more designed for groups of people to share. I will come back to try stew with friends/ family next time. I wish they had lunch menu.

    Beef Blood Hangover Soup
    Sam Y.

    There's an entrance in the back and front (Crocheon Ave and Depot Rd). There's lots of tables, and 2 single bathrooms - one for men (has a urinal and toilet), one for women (has a toilet and diaper change station). Friendly service, and most of the staff also speak Korean as many patrons were conversing in Korean! The banchan was good. The kimchi isn't too spicy. The hot tea has a lovely roasted flavor. I came here for the the Beef Blood Hangover Soup. The broth is a little salty by itself but perfect with the ingredients and rice. There's lots of beef blood and organs, bean sprouts, and other veggies. You have the option of white rice or brown rice (purple rice). I went with white rice, which was perfectly cooked, but will go with brown next time! The Spicy Stir Fried Cuttlefish was more veggies (sweet peppers) than cuttlefish, and that's most of the flavor. The cuttlefish is cut on the smaller side. I would enjoy this more if it was cut on the bigger side and had a better balance between cuttlefish and veggies. It's not too spicy, so it is a good accompaniment to rice. I just wouldn't order it again. Definitely come here for the soups! I am interested in trying the crab next time as well.

The effortless tranquility encourages you to slow down, enjoy the food, and get away from the everyday, hubbub. Their menu leans into fusion dishes with a nod to some of the classic home-style classics. Everything is presented with a refined, elevated touch. Here's what we ordered: ~ Tako Wasabi - 5/5 stars A fiery delight. This appetizer feartures chopped raw octopus marinated in wasabi. It has a lively zest from the wasabi and is topped with tobiko, which adds a pleasant contrast in texture. ~ Honey Makgeolli - 4/5 stars A traditional fermented Korean beverage that is light and pairs brilliantly with your meal. It is a cloudy alcholoic drink served in a metal teapot, and surprisingly, there is much more in that teapot than you would expect. It easily provides six to eight generous pours. The flavor is subtly sweet with a pleasant tang. ~ Temaki Set - 4/5 stars You can order a set of three by choosing from selections 1-17, or you can order a la carte at the listed prices. Some of the temaki stood out more than others. Our two sets included marinated salmon, bluefin tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy bluefin, and two dynamite temaki. ~ Spicky Pork Ssam Set - 5/5 stars Truly another standout entree that even surpassed my beloved grilled BBQ bossam. You received a generous basket of assorte greens, including romaine, kale, perilla leaves, dandelion leaves, nappa cabbage, and more. It is well worth the price and makes for a fun, interactive dining experience with your family and friends. There is also various banchan offered and this time, they were beyond kind enough to offer refills. The last time we were here, we ordered just as much food and they stated they normally did not offer refills, which I thought was very odd. With its casual bougie aesthetics, this spot has quickly become one of my favorite eateries in Fort Lee-lee, It beautifully blends Korean, Japanese, and American flavors in a way that feels both comforting and elevated. Needless to say, we will be back!

    Short Review- Outstanding Restaurant Week Menu. Get the Hoe Muchim, Yukhoe, Gangjeong, Galbi-Jjim,…read moreand if you want to be very full, the Pyongyang Cold Noodle. I went back to this Korean spot with a group for their $60 Summer Restaurant Week menu, which I'll abbreviate as RW from now on. I was not expecting the biggest portions as the menu is a bit pricey, but I was surprised in a good way. Compared to the regular menu, this is a fantastic deal, being both high quality and with large portions. You can see the previous review regarding the nice space, which is from a converted library. The only distinction this time was that they were much more crowded. The server was friendly, though he did rather haphazardly drop off all of the appetizers instead of giving them to the specific people who ordered them, leading to a bit of confusion. To drink, I shared a bottle of 24% Soju Dokdo, which another person had ordered at the bar prior to me arriving during happy hour. As per the other time before we got the other courses, they gave us some kimchi as well as a cold soup as an amuse bouche. The soup consisted of cucumber, tomato agar jelly, basil oil, and Korean pear. The soup is refreshing, cold, slightly herbal, and a little bit sweet, and worked perfectly to whet our appetite. The RW menu that followed consisted first of one choice each from three different options: vegetable, sea, and meat. Afterwards, there was a choice of main and a side dish, and then dessert. From the appetizers, my vegetable choice was the Lotus Root Gangjeong/연근강정, a pair of fried lotus root slices with a mild sweetness, presumably from rice syrup/물엿. The lotus root had a light fry, with a mild crunch, but it was the most basic of the dishes. Other people enjoyed the Asparagus Japchae/아스파라거스잡재 and the Acorn Jelly/도토리묵. I tried the latter, and it was refreshing and tasty with an interesting mix of textures. Compared to the other appetizers, this was also the only course without a supplement, which makes sense since it was vegetables. From the sea section, I ordered a dish I got last time, the Hoe Muchim/회무침, listed on the menu as seasonal fish, gochujang, and soybean powder, which all came with kim/seaweed for DIY handrolls. The dish is normally $24, and of course, the portion was slightly smaller, but it was still sizable. As this was the case with the other dishes, I won't mention that again. The fish in this case was raw salmon, which was buttery, and paired with the crunchy vegetables, the sweet/spicy/mildly fermented gochujang, and the nutty soybean powder. Another person enjoyed the Shrimp Pancakes/새우전, saying that there was plenty of shrimp inside, and no one ordered the $5 extra Abalone Salad/전복냉채. Finally, for meat, I went with the Yukhoe/육회, the Korean version of beef tartare with Korean pear and egg yolk, which is normally $28. The meat was tender with a mild fragrance from sesame oil and a bit of sweetness from the paired, well, pear. No one got the Spicy Fried Chicken/닭튀김, while someone else splurged and loved the $5 extra Beef Cheek Suyuk/소뽈살수육. For my main dish, as with a few others as per my recommendation, I went with the $10 extra Galbi-Jjim/갈비찜. Normally $52, this had soy-braised prime beef, Pyogo mushrooms, some potatoes, and some tteok. The short ribs were very tender, with some fat that was flavorful without being too chewy. The broth wasn't as sweet as some other places, with a delightful little bit of spiciness. This was outstanding, just like last time. Others enjoyed the Bossam/보쌈 and the Squid Stir Fry /오징어볶음, with no one getting the Tofu Mushroom Hot Pot/두부버섯전골. As a side, my choice was the Mushroom Sotbap/버섯솥밥, which is $10 extra, but shared between two people. Normally for $38, this had golden queen rice, mushrooms, foie gras, and a beef broth, and just like during normal service, they present the full pot before dividing it up. The rice had a strong umami with a bit of crunch from the scorched part, and was delicious like last time. Another person liked the Seasonal Vegetable Bibimbap/산채비빔밥, and one other had the portion of Pyongyang Cold Noodle/평양냉면, with the broth poured at the table. The portion was noticeably gigantic compared to every other dish, and the bit of broth I tried was delicious. For dessert, there were two choices. I got the Korean Melon/참외 with coconut and manchego cheese. The dish was well composed, with a granita/ice made from melon, some coconut sorbet on the bottom, and a very mild cheesy flavor. It was refreshing. A few had the Burdock/우엉 with burdock ice cream, chocolate mousse, and burdock chips. They found it mildly bitter with a bit of nuttiness, and one person liked it, and the other did not. I tried a bit, and I thought it was decent, but I preferred my dessert. This was again a very good meal. I wish I had better photos, but we all loved our time here.

    Solid Korean spot with a calm, dim interior. We made res for restaurant week as a group of 6, which…read moreallowed us to try a little of everything on their menu. What I got: - Asparagus Japchae: Very good - instead of traditional Japchae noodles, it's sliced asparagus and mushroom. The marinate was delish! - Shrimp Pancake: It was more like an omelette. Not so much of the actual pancake batter. - Spicy Fried Chicken: Nicely fried, standard. The spicy sauce is on the side, which allows us to adjust our bite. - Bossam: I enjoyed this! More Bossam pieces than lettuce, but overall taste of the meat was good. It didn't have the "bland pork" taste. - Pyongyang Cold Noodle: This was my first time having this dish. Seemed pretty traditional. The broth was on the lighter end for me. - Korean Melon: LOVEDD this dessert! A refreshing way to end the meal. The menu denotes cheese, but it wasn't even noticeable. It has a few toasted pine nuts mixed in, which were SOO good. Overall, a very filling meal and worth the $60 restaurant week value! Nothing absolutely blew me away, BUT the flavors were solid and the staff were great. Would come back for another deal!
