Came for lunch, started with a small seafood pancake which was large enough for 2 people. The ban chan came first, cold kombucha squash, radishes, kimchi, and broccoli. Ordered a big bowl of kimchi and pork hot soup. The beef and scallion soup was loaded with vegetables and clear noodles in a spicy and hearty beef broth. Everything was delicious. They have a few tables set up for bbq., would like to try that next visit. read more

Ho Ho Restaurant - Banchan - Korean Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

Came in for an early lunch on a Monday at 11:30 with my parents. I had seen an old menu with lunch specials but they don't have it anymore, I guess because of COVID. To start, they give each person 4 different banchan plates - kimchi, seaweed, pickled daikon, and soy bean sprouts. It was nice that we each had our individual set. For food, we decided to each order something different, so we could try a little bit of everything. We had: -Japchae - this was a HUGE portion. But, it was a bit too salty. The flavor was good though. They also jam pack it with lots of veggies and beef. I would recommend it but maybe just ask for less salt, if possible. -Beef bibimbap (hot) - not bad but I've had better -Soon tofu with seafood - this was pretty good but it was pretty hot that day so I wasn't really in the mood for a hot bubbling stew Overall, it wasn't bad. It has a smaller menu than most typical Korean restaurants - but that could be a good thing, if you're an indecisive person. I probably won't be back anytime soon since there are so many Korean restaurants nearby (especially Pal Park) that I need to try first. Tip - there is free street parking read more

This is a decent restaurant, their food is extremely good but the interior and look of the restaurant need some touch up. It's not very crowded even during weekend lunch hour, despite having only about 6 tables, we didn't have to wait at all. The menu is concise, they have rice bowls, soup bowls and few appetizers. We ordered seafood pancake, couple of rice bowl and two of the seafood tofu soup bowls. The pancake was crispy, little over crispy for my liking. Rice bowls looked really nice, ingredients were excellent. The tofu soup had plenty of seafood stuff, soup had great taste. Their mild version is actually really mild, almost white soup. The side items are unlimited, I really liked the kimchi and radish. Overall a great place to have a belly full meal. Food comes out within a short time and service is good too. read more

The food is so delicious. The best Galbi Tang soul ever. The beef box is yummy and great value. The L.A Kalbi is always a hit. We always start off with the plentiful seafood pancake. Banchan is always fresh and delicious. And they are generous with it. Service is excellent. This is a small mom and pop shop. We always feel welcomed. This is a hidden gem near American Dream Mall. read more

We were in the area visiting American Dream Mall on a rainy Saturday and with a bunch of kids with us, we all wanted something warm since it was pretty chilly out. We found Ho Ho on yelp and decided to give this place a try! Gave them a call asking if they can accommodate our large group (17 total) and they said yes so we went on over! First, on yelp it says they close at 8 which had us running out of the mall but when asked, they actually close at 9! Anywho, not a big deal but would have been nice to know the right time they closed. They had two tables set up for us, one accommodating 12 and the other 5 but since we had a lot of kids who were on high chairs, we were able to squeeze into the larger table. We first ordered some appetizers and then we placed our orders for entrees. While waiting for our food to come, I was wondering why they didnt have banchans as other korean restaurants would - they did but was served after most food was served. I am used to seeing a large variety or banchans but here they served 4 - they were okay. Seafood pancake was pretty good- my daughter enjoyed it. Kimchi pancake was full of kimchi, it was decent. We ordered the pork belly and that also wasnt bad. I decdied to get the beef soondubu and I thought it was nicely flavored! Just enough spice for warmth and the bowl of rice sealed the deal. My husband however got the seafood one and unfortunately he said was tasteless. Overall, the service was great and workers were nice. We had a great time. read more

Really good authentic Korean Food. I love the soups and stews. My go to is the spicy beef and scallion soup and the short rib soup with the beef dumplings and the seafood pancake. Hidden gem in the area. read more

I was in the area, and I decided to give this place a try. I'm so glad I did, because the food was a 10/10! This restaurant does a great job with all the Korean staples. We ordered the seafood pancake, tofu soup, bibimbap, and pork cutlet. It's not anything fancy, but I can't express enough how delicious and well done these dishes were. The bibimbap was tasty and the rice was perfectly crisp in the hot stone bowl. The tofu soup was spicy and comforting. The seafood pancake was my absolute favorite, as it was thick and crunchy on the outside, but soft in the inside. I can't wait to come back! Would recommend for anyone craving solid Korean food. read more

We came here for lunch and the food was so-so. We ordered a chicken teriyaki box and the chicken was dry, and it was stuffed with peppers. We also ordered two pot stews, one with tofu and seafood and another one with just tofu, which were both nothing special. The place looks like it could use some TLC. The service was good, but then again, we were the only ones there. read more

I went for dinner and we ordered the kimchi pancake and fried dumplings as our appetizer ( forgot to take a picture). As for our entree I ordered the bibimbap while my partner ordered the spicy pork over rice. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! It tasted like a home cooked meal, a great authentic spot! Please stop by and try it for yourself! There's tons of other options and I can't wait to go back! read more

The restaurant was quite busy on a Saturday. Service was really good, I like how they serve a set of Banchan per person (though they didn't refill them). The menu is quite extensive and the price is reasonable as well. Unfortunately the food is quite salty (soon tofu, army stew). There wasn't much seafood in the seafood pancake either.... read more

Still great! Solid service, fantastic food. Their Banchan excellent, as well! read more

What a delight this place is for delicious Korean food. This restaurant reminds me of some of the restaurants in K-Town in NYC, but much closer to home and the prices much more friendlier on your wallet. We had the beef dumplings, spicy pork and rice, Don Kat Su and beef short ribs. Such amazing flavors. The service was always checking in on us and making sure we had plenty on the ban Chan. I highly recommend. And it's BYOB. read more

Stopped by today once I placed my order waitress was nice to bring me few of the pickled vegetables, and they were all good . And when I asked for more kimchi she gave me some without charging . Ordered beef wonton soup , that Was delicious. Had another dish that I can not pronounce the name of but it was shreds beef and onion and I added tofu . My only complaint is is it needed abit of salt . Taste wise it was good but bit of salt would have made it even better read more

I eat there once a week and sometimes more. I love the spicy Korean Stew especially the beef & tofu one. I like the couple that run front of house. The service and food quality is very high quality and consistent. I have also occasionally ordered ahead for takeout. They package it so that it remains intact when one arrives home. Overall, this is my joint, and I intend to be their most regular customer. read more

Felt like a real good home cooked meal with everything tasting well done and BanChan that was not sweetened for the western palate. Easy to become a regular here. 5* Big Rice Bowl to Mix 9.Spicy Pork over rice had an Excellent sauce $13.99. 5* 10.Spicy Squid over rice was Excellent with amazingly extra crispy toasted rice (like a cracker) at the bottom of the hot bowl. $14.99. 5* Pot Stew 16.Bean Past stew $11.99. 5* 19.Dumpling Soup with good homemade dumplings (that they get from elsewhere) in a bone broth. $12.99. 5* 26.Dried Pollack Soup hits the comfort food notes perfectly $11.99. 5* Stir-Fry Dishes 28.Marinated Beef Short Rib was not the most tender. Comes with plenty of green lettuce, seasoned scallions, garlic & pepper slices and bean paste to make meat wraps. $32.99. 4* BanChan each person got their own set of the same 4 banchan. Generous amount so was sorry to leave so much left. Kimchi is quite spicy here. Service Nice lady. No issues. Warned us closing time was 9 and asked if that was ok. Located Easy to find and easily got street parking read more

Wife and I felt lazy to cook so we decided to order some take out. We ordered the spicy pork over rice and kimchi soup with pork for pick up. The food was securely packed in the bag and also had ban chan for each order. The spicy pork is good, not too spicy and more of the bean paste taste than gojuchang. The wife had the kimchi soup and she enjoyed it. The current menu is more limited than what was previously posted and the price is raised. Nonetheless, we will come back and order here again in the future. read more

This is my favorite spot to get Don Katsu (fried pork cutlet). It's always perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Comes with a side of shredded cabbage salad and Japanese BBQ sauce. I tried the ox bone soup here recently and it hit the spot during this chilly weather. Do not forget to season it with some salt when it arrives on your table. All orders are served with 4 complimentary Korean style side dishes and during this pandemic, each customers receives their own set. Great family owned spot that serves authentic/delicious Korean food. If you can, try and support small businesses during these trying times. They sure need it more than ever. Stay safe everyone! read more

It was good and food was served prompt! The seaweed was not what is should be or it may be just that style at this location. Overall it was acceptable good, hoping the short rib came with the bone-in as I know most Asian culkture prefer the bone-in vs. other ethnicities may not, due to the amount of work need to put into the short rib when comsuming. Awesome! read more

This is an OG Korean restaurant it is on the traditional side which is becoming more rare in the NYC area. It feels like all the original Flushing Korean restaurants most of which have all closed already. Great food, rockstar Kimchi. They need to deliver food somehow, I am sure they are losing business by not having some form of delivery read more

This place is absolutely amazing! the restaurant is BYOB. I ordered the spicy beef and scallion soup and the bulgoki. I couldn't say enough about how delicious It was! The soup was spicy and flavorful and the bulgoki just wow, the flavor was unmatched. Service was great and I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

My favorite go to for Korean food. I always use a birthday/anniversary as the perfect excuse to go. Depression too. The moment I feel anxious and need something to cheer me up, I call ahead and pick up my spicy pork bowl with rice. So good. read more

my go-to korean place in this area. when i come here, i'm instantly brought back to my childhood; it's exactly the kind of food i grew up with. nothing fancy, just really good solid korean food. i really like their kimchi jiggae (comes with a nice pork bone or 2), their woo-guh-ji soup (slight spicy cabbage and beef), and their jae-yook over rice (spicy marinated pork). i usually also get their pa-jun, which is v good but if you don't like seafood, they have a spicy pepper version which is also good. the banchans (side dishes) are simple and change often. i really enjoy them, but again, don't be expecting something fancy. every time i come here or order from here, i feel very satisfied; it's comfort food! not a ton of korean places here, so i'd take anything i could get, but thankfully this place is actually very homey and delicious. read more

I've passed by this Korean restaurant many times but never thought to enter due to its lack of curb appeal and I'm usually in Fort Lee or Pal Park getting my Korean food on. However, I decided to give it a chance due to the decent reviews and close proximity. As I entered to my surprise, the interior did not match the shady exterior. It was clean and inviting. There were only a couple tables occupied in addition to a very large party. So you won't have any problems getting a table here. The menu offers traditional Korean fare including Bbq. Being in East Rutherford, I thought the prices would be a bit less, but it's comparable to those of FL/PP restaurants. Specifically I'm talking about the BBQ. I was not expecting the banchan (the small appetizer plates), but was pleasantly surprised when they brought it out. It included the standard seasoned/pickled vegetables, kimchi, and egg soup. We ordered a small seafood pancake, a bibimbap in a stone pot, and a cold noodle dish. The seafood pancake was pretty good with pieces of squid, shrimp. I also liked the bibimbap with beef, egg and the mix of veggies. The rice on the bottom got extra crispy which I liked. My husband was craving cold noodles and ordered this dish with pork and noodles literally sitting in ice. He wasn't a big fan and vowed to stick to his regular dishes from then on. All in all, I'm glad I gave Ho Ho a try, for I now know I don't always need to go to Fort Lee for Korean food. read more

Good food and service. They serve hot roasted tea as soon as you are seated which is delicious and wonderful to drink when it's cold out. Pricing is similar to other Koreans restaurants. We ordered fried dumplings and seafood pancake for appetizer and it was delicious. The side dishes were tasty and well seasoned and they will give free refill if you ask. My husband and I had the beef bibimbap and it was good. Our kids had the beef fried rice and they enjoyed it as well. We drove passed by the area before and never realized there was a korean restaurant there until we yelped! The place looks very plain on the outside and more modern inside. It has a few tables. We were here on Friday around 6pm and there are plenty of seats but people started to come in shortly after a few minutes. You can reserve a table. Yes, there's take out too. Now, if only there's parking! Parking is off street. read more

After a long day at American Dream Mall with our toddler, we wanted to enjoy a delicious dinner before we went back home. My husband was craving sundubu and it's his birthday today, so the birthday boy gets what the birthday boy wants! We ordered the sundubu with beef, small seafood pancake, and cold bibimbap. It was accompanied by complementary banchans - spicy seaweed, kimchi, pickled radish, and seasoned soybean sprouts. Everything was yummy and reasonably priced, and we went home with a full belly. Highly recommend! read more

Great Korean joint in the neighborhood! We came for the first time and it did not disappoint. I had a budejiggae and my husband had a spicy pork rice bowl. We loved the steamed egg as part of the side dishes. The portion was generous and I couldn't finish my meal. Needless to say, will definitely be back for more Korean food! I can't wait to try their japchae! read more

Came here for lunch with a coworker and honestly really enjoyed it. My coworker ordered the spicy pork in a stone bowl while I got tofu soup. Both had great taste but was really hot.

I went here for a friends birthday . the place was a nice size and the people were very patient with us. You can bring your own alcohol if you like as well and gallons and stuff if you ever want to do a birthday dinner for someone which is what we did. Parking may be hard because you have to find parking on the street. the food was a reasonable price and it was pretty good it's like any other Korean bbq place. the rice bowl i got was okay .. i would suggest making sure you stir it occasionally so that your rice won't get crispy and burn lol or just transfer it to another plate because the food will continue to cook in the bowl due to it being so hot. other than that we had a good time and enjoyed the food. read more

I ordered really takeout here once and decided to dine-in for a second try! It's really hard to get korean food in the area because most of the restaurants are located closer to the Hudson. However this little neighborhood joint seems to be family run and long standing. The banchan reminds me of the banchan my grandmother would make, and I really prefer the earthy homey flavors of the restaurant over the fusion restaurants that are popping up everywhere. The pajeon is really good here too. I personally consider myself to be a pretty good cook but I cannot get my pajeon to be as thick and soft like the one here without burning the edges. The dak doritang (spicy chicken stew) is also really good and rich. It looks spicy but it is relatively mild and savory. The chicken is so soft that it melts in your mouth. The broth is also quite thick and well seasoned with pepper. Also, The price point is great considering it is served in a giant portion big enough to be a family-style centerpiece entree. When I'm homesick or stressed out, I come here for comfort food to re-energize. read more

Great find. Good food nice portions. Able to get street parking, short rib soup so good. Can't wait to return

The name makes me giggle. Ho ho. Childishness aside, this place was decent. Wasn't the worst Korean food but not best either. Banchan came out, a little sparse. Kimchi was meh. Definitely used a lot of sugar for it. But the portion sizes were bigger than expected. Lunch specials were around $11 or $12, which is relatively cheap as far as Korean food lunches go, but maybe my frame of reference is off as I've been eating a lot in Manhattan. But the portion sizes were big! We got a budae jiggae and a spicy squid dish over rice in a stone bowl. I could only finish half of my dish, although I did eat a lot of the budae jiggae too. Budae jiggae was something I could have mustered up myself in 10 minutes and the spicy squid, again, had a lot of sugar in it. Would go again, since it's close to a place I frequent, but maybe I'll try a stew. read more

There aren't very many Korean restaurants in southwest Bergen County. This is one of the few that I know of. Its a standard Korean restaurant with pretty good food and service. Came here with someone for lunch. Soon after we sat down we started with the banchan (side dishes), which was plentiful. I had the dolsot bimbimbap (rice with meat and vegetables in a sizzling stone bowl). The vegetables were fresh and the meat was tasty. The flavor of the food went well with the hot bean paste that I mixed into the bowl. It wasn't too crowded when we went, so we had no problem getting a table and we weren't rushed at all. The servers were nice and friendly. Food came out quickly and our waters were refilled quickly as well. read more
