We ordered the Beef + Pork + Cold Noodles combo, which came with Prime Beef Loin, Pork Belly, Wagyu Brisket, Pork Jowl, and cold noodles. What I liked most was that the combo actually included popular cuts instead of mixing one good item with filler meats. The charcoal grill made a huge difference. You could really smell the smokiness once the fat started dripping onto the charcoal, and it gave the meat a much deeper flavor compared to regular gas grills. The meat quality was solid overall, especially the beef loin and pork belly. Portions were also surprisingly large -- we ended up taking leftovers home. Another detail I appreciated was that they changed the grill plate after different meats read more

4.2 / 5.0 A Korean restaurant in Koreatown, NJ. It must be a popular restaurant, as it fills up in the evening. It's great that they grill the meat right in front of you and serve it to you in the Korean style. They also serve a lot of appetizers like kimchi, which are great when you wrap them up with the meat!! I also like that they change the net immediately without me having to ask. 　 It's a great value for money restaurant and one I'd like to visit again. The restaurant is very spacious and has sofa seats, so it's great for families! It's a good place to come and eat yakiniku, as you can enjoy a variety of dishes. read more

Not many places use a charcoal grill for bbq so this place stands out! You can definitely taste the smokey flavor that isn't present in other kbbq places. We ordered the beef and pork combo for 2 and honestly it could have fed 4 people. The meat quality is very good. Banchans were very good as well. Very attentive staff. The server cooks for you. It's a very large space so we didn't have to wait for a walk-in on a weeknight, but it seems like it might get busy on the weekends. Looks like a local spot. Highly recommend! read more

Solid bbq spot. Very spacious and parking lot available. The charcoal grilling hit the spot.

I felt unwelcome from the moment I sat down. When I asked questions about the menu, the server brushed me off and walked away. Several small plates were dropped on the table with no explanation, I had to find a server to ask what they were. The server's response was in Korean which did neither helped nor was conducive. The main dish barely had any meat compared to the amount of rice. While the food itself tasted fine, the service was rude and the experience was horrendous. This was probably the worst service I've seen in New Jersey and I eat out a few times a week. Good food isn't enough to make up for poor service, and I wouldn't come back because of the poor service that was provided. read more

In a strong Korean food area, this bbq is one of the best! Love the meat quality (cooked over charcoal!) the ban chan(seaweed was so good), and the fact they cook for you. Had a great feast with my girl friend here, then went downstairs to the karaoke. Get there early (or lucky enough) to grab a parking spot in their lot! read more

This is my family absolute favorite KBBQ in NJ! Everything they do from the banchan to meats are amazing and super fresh. I would definitely recommend making a reservation (call them), especially for a Friday or Saturday night because it does get pretty busy. They do also bring out a bunch of banchan including veg stew, steamed egg, and corn with cheese! Will be continuing to return for special dinners. read more

Really good Korean bbq! We came at 2pm on a Saturday, and it wasnt too busy. A bit on the pricey side but everything was good quality and tasty. Some items were not available but the substitutes were great too. Staff did a good job working the grill and bringing more requested banchan, drinks and meat. We had some individual orders of beef and pork. Enjoyed all the banchan too which balance out the meat. We had a reservation for 8 people in a side room which was pretty private. Did not leave smelling like grilled meats. They do not have dessert. Parking lot was pretty full but we were able to find spots. read more

Food was good. Really enjoyed the cold noodles and the short rib we got for the grill.

I've gotten kbbq so many times at so many different spots across jersey and nyc and wow this blew everything i've ever had before out of the water!! the charcoal adds such a complex smoky layer to all of the meats that just cannot be recreated with a normal flame. Kinda need to get go here now every time i'm craving kbbq!! Staff is super attentive and friendly! and of course the banchan spread was incredible and complementary to the meats! read more

Hanam is one of my favorite kbbq spots in terms of the taste (because it's cooked over charcoal). However, after coming here couple of times, I feel that the service is lacking. I don't find the staff friendly. We have to wait for the staff a bit too long each time for someone to come cook the meat. This most recent time, the hostess actually messed up our order. We pointed it out and she did absolutely nothing about it. She said sorry but seemed like she had zero desire to try to fix it at all so we were stuck with a cut of meat that didn't even taste good and was dry, and charged us the full amount. read more

Bad service - The servers/owner are very slow and rude. There are way too many good quality BBQ at better prices & service in this area, that I do not recommend here over other places!!!! Everyone in my party got food poisoned after dining here, so be careful not to get sick after eating here!!! read more

Tips: - 5% off for a cash discount but need to let them know when they bring the check - They do charcoal here, which is a differentiator. - Rice bowls are free, but need to ask for them - Free refills of banchan, but they ran out of certain ones (potatoes, mook) - Made a reservation just an hour before, which was a good idea because they are really popular and there was a wait We ordered the beef combo for 2 and the pork combo for 4. We ended up having to take 2 pork belly to go because it was so much food. While everything was good, I would get much more of the cha-dol (thinly sliced beef) because it really absorbed the charcoal taste the most out of any of the meats. read more

The smoky flavor in the meats due to the charcoal fire makes a huge difference. The plain unmarinated galbi was the star. Super tender and moist, filled with juice. The thinly sliced brisket was probably my least favorite selection. The souffle egg was super silk and flavorful. They provided a bunch of side dishes and the server cooked the meat consistently med rare. I would go back for sure! read more

My fiancé and I went to this restaurant on a Sunday night. We didn't order bbq but regular entrees. We were welcomed by a server and he sat us on a 4 seat table. My first impression was that the table was not clean because there was still rice stuck on the table and the table was still pretty wet. Also, my chair was a bit wet. My fiancé and I wanted to leave at first but we decided to change to another table. The server was very nice and helped us move. We ordered squid stone pot and beef brisket tofu stew. They gave us many side dishes which included fish cake, dried anchovies, Kimichi, bean paste stew, and steam egg. We didn't order bbq but they placed side dishes for bbq, but we ate them too. The food turn out to be delicious and big portion. We were glad to stay and eat at the restaurant. The only thing I think the restaurant could improve the cleanliness for the cleaning their tables and the floor. They were a lot of trash on the floor and it would be way better if they swept the floor. Not sure if it because it was late when we came in to dine (9pm). Other than that, the place is pretty bright and have many seatings. There are two bathrooms by the entrance. The servers were super friendly throughout our dinner. read more

Food (4/5): Got decent amount of banchan. The lettuce tasted a bit odd and soapy but the rest was really good. We ordered the beef brisket and tofu soup plus the squid stone bowl. Both dishes were good. The portions to price ratio was also very good. Service (4/5): When we mentioned that the first table was wet and dirty, they were super helpful and were willing to move us to another table. Unfortunately, a bunch of the food we initially wanted like the bulgogi and the Kimchi cheese pork belly were out. The food took a bit to come out but they were quick with the banchan so we were able to enjoy that while waiting. They also nicely gave us a steamed egg and small soup on the house. The staff overall was very friendly which was great. Ambiance (3/5): The restaurant was quite dirty. You can see scraps over the floor and the first table we got was wet and sticky with sticky menus. The next table was a bit better and cleaner. The place does look nicely decorated though with hanging lights. read more

Hanam stands out from other KBBQ because the meats are cooked over coal. It's more expensive than the other dozen AYCE places nearby but quality is top notch. Restaurant is located upstairs and had simple decor. Bathrooms needs more attention. Tea was brought to the table but water is available upon request. Rice is free but you also have to ask for it, mine was cooked with a little too much water so it wasn't the best rice. Good variety of banchan but my fav (radishes) wasn't part of it. No biggie because I loved the cucumbers and squid! I ordered the beef combo #1. Meats were high quality. Marinated beef ribs was flavorful. My fav was the short ribs. The waitress cooked our meats to perfection. Bonus: I didn't smell like KBBQ afterwards was is unheard of! read more

We picked this restaurant after a spa day because they had charcoal grill. It was a good choice. We came around 4pm on a Tuesday. We were the only people there. The stuff that helped us with our order and did the grilling was friendly and professional. He would grill the meat and noticed that we were not eating very quickly so he would go hang out with the other employees while we ate. I would see him take a lap to see how far we've gotten to decide whether to come grill some more meat. I appreciate this because sometimes it gets awkward at places where they grow for you and they stand there for a long time We got the Beef Combo #1 for two people $100 that came with prime black Angus beef, boneless fresh beef, short ribs, and wagyu beef brisket. The order I enjoyed the beef is the order listed Fruit infused cold noodles $14 the portion was humongous, and the contrast of cold with the hot beef was a nice touch There were plenty of side dishes to enjoy. I don't know if the Bonchon normally comes with corn cheese and sundubu or if it was something we ordered, but it was a pleasant surprise Would definitely come again when we're in the area! Thank you! read more

Go up the stairs for KBBQ! One of the only places that uses coal in the BBQ instead of gas. Honestly this does make a difference in the taste, especially in the vegetables or more delicate BBQ. Service is speedy with cooking and efficient. They also leave you and your party enough alone, if that makes sense lol. That's a plus for me - not sure if that's universal. I think we ordered the BBQ set for 2(?) but it was wayyy more than enough meat for a party of 4. Granted it was for lunch, but they also have generous helpings of banchan, steamed egg, etc. I'm always more a fan of beef over pork so we got the exclusively beef set I think - pretty decent BBQ and very filling. This place is also super popular but doesn't take reservations so call ahead or show up a bit early! read more

We came on a Friday night with 2 people around 5:30pm and were seated right away. It seems like this place doesn't get too crowded since there were still some tables open when we left. I enjoyed my time here but think I prefer other kbbq places over this. We got the two-person beef set combo which comes with three meats. Two of the meats were delicious and juicy but I was a bit disappointed by the wagyu brisket. When I hear wagyu I think it's gonna be super soft and melt in your mouth but when it came out it wasn't very marbled. It was a little tough, but to be fair they didn't say the grade of the Wagyu. The banchan was good and the veggies were fresh which I appreciated! They give steamed egg, stew, and corn cheese on the side which we appreciated, but they were just okay, nothing special. Something that's also pretty important to me for kbbq is the sauce since the meats are typically served without marinade and seasoning. They only had Samjang but most places have like a soy sauce based sauce to dip it in. So I was also disappointed to see they didn't have another sauce for the meats. read more

Hanam BBQ - Korean Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Hands down the best Korean BBQ spot in New Jersey. The service is always friendly and prompt, and the quality of the meat and side dishes is top notch. As a non-Asian person who visits Korean BBQ restaurants frequently, I've noticed service can sometimes be hit or miss depending on the place--but not here. The staff is consistently welcoming, attentive, and makes the experience enjoyable every time. We've been back multiple times and it's always a great meal. Highly recommend! read more

We got the two beef combos for 4 You could choose whether to get it raw or marinated. They would serve the raw meat first and then marinated so that the raw beef wouldn't taste so blend I actually enjoyed the raw set a lot better. I could taste more of the original beef flavor Service is great. They will cook and cut everything for you. Very good setting to catch up with your friends. Wasn't too crowded on a Thursday night. read more

Usually, I like this place...but it's becoming a bit unreliable. First off, a ten minute wait turned to over 30 minutes, PLUS they sat someone who came in 20 minutes after ME! Then tries to lie and say that they had reservations, which we knew that they don't do that during busy times. Once we get seated the service is awful. We order our food, and have the meat sitting, with no coals, but the two tables who got seated 10 minutes AFTER us had hot coal and NO meat. I get told, that there's no coal and that we have to wait. So then we got stuck waiting for more coals. The food is good, but if you don't mind being lied to and waiting a ridiculous amount of time for food this place is for you. read more

TLDR; Really enjoyed the food and service was great. We went here two nights in a row. The fact that there was a separate parking lot was cherry on top. We ordered beef combo 1 small with marinated beef and naengmyun. It comes with side dishes (pretty typical for a Korean restaurant), steamed egg, dwenjang jjigae, and corn cheese. All of them were pretty good, with dwenjang jjigae being very tasty and not too watery like some of the other places. Steamed egg was nice and soft. The combo that we ordered was really good. The meats had great marbling and wasn't too fatty. The servers cooked them really well. It was nice to not have to be the one to cook the meats. Between my wife and I, we were pleasantly full even after just the meats and half a bowl of rice. The naengmyun is made with such flavors that perfectly complement the meat, especially the marinated beef. Its cool sweet/very light sourness makes it a nice complement to the meats. Definitely try this, especially if you get the marinated beef. The service was great too. They cooked everything for us, so we had easy access to servers and to ask for whatever else we needed. Not to mention they catered cooking to how we wanted them too. The ambiance is pretty great for a casual date night or just hanging out with friends. It's not too loud, but not dead silent. The ventilation system is really good and my clothes barely smelled like meat afterwards, which cannot be said for many of the KBBQ restaurants. This place has become our go to place whenever we visit NJ. We will most definitely be back. read more

This is not an AYCE Korean BBQ, thankfully. You can choose the meat a la carte or choose to do a combo depending on what you are craving for. The meat is high quality with no tough grizzle or connective tissues. Can we take a moment and talk about their banchan? Outstanding is an adjective that comes to mind. Some places give just a salad and you have to ask for the lettuce if you want to do a wrap. This place offers better variety and plenty of vegetable sides. Service is very courteous and constantly check up on the grill ensuring everything is done to our liking. They frequently check the fan to ensure there's nothing blowing out towards us, change out the grill, and change our plates so that there's a clean feeling consistently. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Price: 5/5 - It's a bit pricey but for the quality, you get OR if you are not a big meat-eater as my Hubby and I are, this actually came out cheaper than an AYCE BBQ. read more

All-around good pick for KBBQ. Especially enjoyed the grilling style, with high flames for searing, and that the grilling was handled by the staff but you could also do it yourself if you wanted. Very friendly service, more side dishes than you can count (as expected), and they let us sit unbothered for a long time during peak hours. Also worth noting the lively ambiance and food was good. Would go again. read more

We used to be regulars here before my wife got pregnant, and recently, we decided to revisit. Their service remains solid, and the interior is always well-spaced, which I appreciate. They don't cram people in like sardines, especially important for KBBQ. I don't mess around with KBBQ, so having extra breathing space while eating is a plus. I noticed a significant improvement in the meat quality. The beef combo was beautifully marbled and perfectly cooked over charcoal. I also love the fresh veggies they provide, making for a perfect lettuce wrap with beef, scallions, and [raw] garlic - it's the best. However, while their beef quality has gone up, their oyster tofu soup (sundubu) fell a bit short. It used to be a major reason my wife and I chose this spot over others, but I'm not sure if it was an off day or a change in the chef over the past year, but the oyster tofu soup wasn't as good as I remembered. Apart from that, everything else is on point, and we definitely enjoy coming here. We'll be back, and I'm curious to see if the meat quality remains consistent because if it does, they deserve a 5-star rating as a KBBQ spot. I can overlook my reservations about the tofu soup. Like many other KBBQ places I've reviewed, the competition is fierce, so for now, I'll give it a 4-star rating. But I believe they have the potential to change my mind in the future! read more

May be my favorite kbbq in the area. If you are looking for quality bbq cooked over charcoal (which adds so much more flavor to your meat), this is the place to go!! Four of us - three girls and a guy, we ordered combo 2 for 2 and an additional order of marinated short ribs. It would be nice if they have a beef combo that is ribeye, brisket and marinated short ribs. Maybe that's combo 1? I love the soft glow of the charcoal while waiting for the feast to start coming. Once ordered, the banchan, meats and the side dishes (eggs and soup) are table breaking. Love their spread of ban chan - very fresh and they actually gave us some jap chae!! Eggs are very made with a flavorful broth. The doenjang jigae was well balanced with huge chunks of squash and tofu. Not sure what else I can describe about the meat except it being super fresh, tender and the marinated meat was scrumptious. Haven't had beef for months !! At 6pm, the crowds started pouring in and there was a long line at 7pm. Looks like they have a good weekend crowd. read more

Hannam BBQ makes my list of the best Korean BBQ restaurants on the East Coast. For what you pay, the quality of the meat is very good, and the food is super authentic. There even is a Karaoke owned by the same owner as Hannam BBQ located in the same building. Location: Hannam BBQ, like many other great Korean BBQ restaurants, is located in Palisades Park, NJ. Hannam BBQ's building in has parking in the back, where you can enter the building through the entrance to the Karaoke. Food: We ordered marinated galbi and non-marinated galbi. Both were very good, and the restaurant provided a lot of side dishes to go with the meat. The unique part about Hannam BBQ is that they use wood charcoal for grilling the meat, and this makes the meat here have a delicious smoky taste. Price: Korean BBQ is not cheap, but this is a much better deal than what you get in NYC. Verdict: Try the Korean BBQ here! You won't regret it. read more

The go to Korean bbq place in Bergen County, Palisades Park area. It uses the charcoal which makes the barbeque best with that smokey-ness. Staff was very attentive, and again, there weren't so many around 6 pm on a weekday evening. We started out with the Pork Combo [$49.99] and then Beef Combo [$79.99]. Enjoyed the pork sooooo much, the pork belly, jowl and the shoulder portion. Probably too full to fully enjoy the beef... but still enjoyed it. Many will recommend this place for Korean BBQ... as I have too. read more
