It cute little mom and pop shop korean restaurant that has legit bone broth. They offer it instead of water in a thermos, and so you can bet that it's in all their soups including the nengmyun. It was actually refreshing to eat at a Korean place that doesn't have bibimbap and kimchi jjigae on the menu. They focus on potatoes and soups with bone broth, and all of that is clearly made with care. Portions were smaller and yes pricier, but I felt that the quality was there which I appreciate. Plus the husband and wife couple seem really kind and hardworking. read more

On the hunt for the best naengmyun in north Jersey and this one is a solid #1 at the moment. Came here due to the recommendation of a friend and it was all that was promised. A little family restaurant and to me the potato side tastes just like how "grandma" makes it. Meaning it has a very homemade taste and feel. Delicious! Looking back at the pictures posted here from years ago and they really reduced the size of the ban chan though from 8-9 down to 2. Bring those back! It's also a bit pricey but otherwise worth the drive over. read more

One of my favorite places to get cold noodles!!! They have super fast service, the food is absolutely delicious, and the noodles have a great chewy texture. For my noodles, I asked for less spicy and it was perfect for me! One thing that makes this place even more amazing is their soup broth. It comes in a hot thermos (I thought it was tea) and I think it's some type of beef bone broth. Will definitely be back for more! read more

Small, cozy nangmyun restaurant, tucked away in a quiet, unassuming plaza. My friends recommended this spot, and if you didn't know about it, you'd easily miss it! This restaurant specializes in Korean "nangmyun" cold noodle dishes, which are thin, chewy, addicting sweet potato flour noodles served with your choice of either cold beef broth or their spicy house sauce. I chose the SaeKi Mi Nangmyun (served with skatefish and boiled beef slices) and loved it. I actually found the amount of noodles in the bowl deceiving! I ordered the regular serving size, and although it didn't look like a ton at first, it filled me up quickly and was more than enough. We also received complimentary hot beef broth for the table, and it was deliciously warming on a chilly day. Staff was also so sweet and friendly. Can't wait to return when the weather warms up and enjoy more of these refreshing cold noodles. read more

A neighborhood gem near Closter downtown that offers Naengmyeon and other traditional Korean dishes. The cold noodles are their specialty and you should definitely try those first. They are delicious, refreshing, and perfect on a hot summer day. They come in a traditional beef broth or a house made spicy broth. For toppings you can get sliced beef or marinated skatefish. You really can't go wrong with any combination. They're all really good. I've tried their other offerings as well. They're good, but the Naengmyeon is the highlight of this restaurant. read more

This restaurant has gotten worse. The service is absolutely terrible. A party of 4 was seated after us about 5 minutes after we sat down, and the waitress served them first before us. The food took forever to come out for two noodle dishes (Mool Nangmyun). In Korean restaurants it's customary for them to bring out small dishes of food (banchan) and they used to do that here but I had to specifically ask for it. I ordered the double size and my girlfriend ordered the normal size noodle, and we couldn't tell the difference. Double size costs over $20 under the new updated menu yet it looks like a regular sized dish! I should have taken a picture of the updated menu. They jacked up the price by over 25% across the board. read more

New ownership since earlier this year 2023. Friendly gentleman mans the desk. Place is still very popular. The food formula has clearly changed. It is missing that unique homemade flavor now. Nangmyun tastes straight out of an instant package from HMart. Portions are large. NO BANCHAN for takeout orders. Well, one small container of potatoes and nothing else. PRICES HAVE INCREASED. Two large orders of noodles cost $56!!!! What world is Nangmyun $56??? This was once a nice home cooked place for noodles. Now, it's alright. I'll look elsewhere. read more

This restaurant is such a hidden gem! I had their winter lunch special which was only 15$ per person. In my opinion thats really cheap for lunch. I had the squid over rice which tasted amazing. I got tons of squid and the flavor is amazing, although it might be a little bit spicy for some. Very nice place and very good food! read more

This is the best nangmyun i've had. The noodled are made in-house and the staff was very curteous. Noodles are also perfectly al dente which is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I cannot stress that enough. In terms of flavor, the spicy sauce is sweet, while packing a ton of umami flavor and goes brilliantly with the sides that they offer. Definitely a much-try if you are in the mood for cold korean noodles. They also serve cups of beef broth which is basically like a warm hug on a cooler day, maybe not the best for the summer! Cheers! read more

Great food and totally the feel of the Ajumma hole in the wall diners in Korea. I have lost count how many times I have been there and how often I've enjoyed their Beef rib and veg stew and side dishes. The hot broth is so so heart & soul warming is worth the embarrassment of knowing Korean to go. read more

Yes, they used to have the best naeng-myun that I even convinced my friends from Boston to come try this. However, so sad that the legacy has ended. I have been living in Closter for 13 years, and this has been one of my family's favorite spots for a decade. There have been a couple of owner/management changes, but the flavor has been steady. However, the most recent change is not acceptable. They raised the price quite steeply (I understand that due to inflation this is the case for most restaurants, so as long as the taste is the same, no one would complain). But the quality and taste has drastically changed for the worse, which is the main issue. I live 5 minutes from this place and ordered for pick up, and my family is upset that we just wasted $60 for three staple dishes. Their bibim naeng-myun is so sadly dry that they are stuck together, and most disappointingly, their dumplings in mandoo-soup which used to be a different shape (round, firm) is now a different kind and the stuffing inside has a weird chemical smell that is off-putting and making it inedible. They used to handmade the stuffing and it was so delicious, but (see pic 1) the stuffing looks and tastes totally different as if they are not from the same place. The last time, we dined in and the taste was also not as it used to be and we were worried that the recipe or the chef might have changed, but we gave another shot. But today's awful dumpling soup that doesn't resemble anything it used to be, and the pathetically dry bibim naeng-myun just confirmed that they are not the same anymore. Even the side dishes are different and lack the taste. We hope the old recipe returns someday, but with how they're doing right now we won't be returning. So sad and disappointing that they are like this. read more

One of the restaurants in NJ that is worth waiting in line for. Its Raw Fish Nangmyun reminds me of Ojangdong Nangmyun in Seoul, Korea. Searching for similar tastes in Tristate area, I have not found a better one than this. In winter, don't forget to try Beef Bone Stew. Surprisingly, cabbages and beef bones are the only main ingredients, without peppers or MSG which you often see in gamja tang elsewhere. I would call it an 'invigorating' cozy dish of winter. read more

Expensive for nhyengmyun, but one of the better bibim nhyengmyun ive had. First, let me start by saying you can pass on the mandu- its okay, but honestly nothing special. For $17 goki nhyengmyun, there is not much meat. The sauce was pretty flavorful and I do think it was good. However, this is pretty pricey for noodles, but if you love nhyengmyun and are willing to pay this much, I'd recommend you try it! read more

This is the best Korean noodle spot in the NJ/NY area!! They make thin and chewy homemade noodles that do not even compare to the store bought or any other restaurant. I ordered my usual-- Saekimi Nangmyun. There is not enough praise I could give this bowl of special noodles. They give you tons of meat and the most tender spicy fermented skate with cucumbers, pickled radish, and pear. The sauce is the champion of the dish but definitely wouldn't shine as bright without all the necessary add-ins. The beef broth given on the side in a thermal canister is one of the most delicious umami flavors I have ever had, you can not stop sipping it from the cup. The SooYuk is also delicious but unfortunately, they run out sometimes. The banchans are always on par, can't ask for better. It's a small mom and pop type restaurant with great service. Everyone is so respectful and friendly. It gets crazy busy with a long line throughout the summer months so be careful on timing your visit. read more

Ladies there are very very nice. Side dishes are super clean and fresh. Mool naemg myun is chewy, thin, but not tasteless like sambong in pal park. Broth is clean and salty just fresh- which they made it alittle more slushy. Was a little too pricy though for regular cold noodle. read more

All of the dishes are delicious as always with great & friendly service. Only negative is it being far from my house. :)

This is a Korean Noodle House, however for me I was looking for a low carb choice and they had a great Galbi (marinated, Korean roasted beef rib dish), and this met my meal plan perfectly. read more

This place is the next best thing to traveling to Seoul for lunch. The food is authentic and delicious. The service is gracious and efficient. Spicy cold noodles and dumplings in soup for lunch today. Korean comfort food. It is worth going out of you way for. Don't get discouraged if there is a wait. Tables turn rather quickly. read more

One of the restaurants I visit everytime I am at NJ or NY. The hot yuksoo they give when you are seated is really delicious. Except Mandoo, I liked everything on their menu.

I would give 0 if I can. We ordered cold noodle and we have a papertowel in the bowl like a topping and not even the waitress catches it.

And we are never going back. read more

This is easily the weirdest attitude I've encountered at a restaurant ever. We drove out to have their nyangmyun, but had a small dog so we opted to sit outside. But apparently outside is treated like second class citizens. No banchan, no condiments (what's nyangmyun without mustard??) and worst of all, NO WATER. I was forbidden from having a cup of water. When I insisted, he asked the waitress to pour me a cup, 1 cup only, and sit down to have. This is traditional at best, misogynist at worst. I wish I asked for a refund on the spot but I sat and ate it. Not bad, but wow Closter, NJ must be doing well for this kind of strange behaviour. Steer clear if you aren't dining in. read more

Naengmyun is one of my favorite foods but it is so difficult to find good naengmyun anywhere in the US. The ones they have at Korean restaurants in Ktown are mostly store bought, with prepared sauce - they are okay. When I heard about this place through a friend and saw good reviews, I was thrilled. Overall, the service was good. I liked that they gave us the warm broth () in a stainless bottle, which was very authentic and tasty. I liked their potato pancake - super crispy outside and soft inside. The meat dumpling (steamed) was overcooked and quite dry... Most importantly, the noodle! I recommend getting the regular naengmyun with cold broth (), and not the spicy ones. Bibim naemyun () tasted bad... it was not too spicy (which I liked), but the sauce had no sweet tangy flavor and was too bland and garlicky. I added some vinegar to make the sauce to my liking but the sauce just tasted too bland with an overwhelming level of spice (like raw garlic and scallion). And this also left a weird unpleasant aftertaste... I left quite disappointed read more

Everyone knows of their 냉면 (It really is the best I've tried in a long time) But I was more surprised by the other dishes. Their 해장국 is other worldly. They give you two giant rib with bone in and the broth tastes so "deep". It's the best 해장국 I habe EVER tasted. Must try if you haven't! read more

Coming from the DC area to visit our friend, we come here for dinner. Located in a very unexciting business complex, everything about this place was screaming mediocre, up until the point you are seated and served some piping hot soup broth from a thermos/carafe, and then you realize there's something different about this place. The banchan is the next thing to come out, and pretty much everything was delicious. I especially appreciated the hard boiled eggs halves. Koreans believe eating a hard boiled egg will coat the inside of the stomach and aids in digestion of the buckwheat noodles. The soo-yook was delicious...and probably my first time ordering this at a restaurant. I especially liked the pa-moo-chim (shredded scallions) and garlic on top. The Nengmyun was good as well. If I had any complaint, it might be that the soup base could have been ice-cold. It's not unusual for restaurants to serve it with a sort of icy slush on top...which is INCREDIBLY refreshing during the dog days of summer....oh and it would have been nice if they also had the horseradish or wasabi in addition to the typical mustard. It's a shame I live hundreds of miles away. I do highly recommend this place. I'm surprised there is only one other review. This is truly an incredible find. read more

This place is what ive been trying to find nangmyun restaurant. Everyone must try this one. 100% sure! Bibimnangmyun = Noodle condition is perfect and sauce is very very unique. It is amazing matching. Steam meat dumpling = delicious. But, honestly same with another place Yookgeajang = omg soooooo crazy delicious. This is spicy beef soop. pan fried pork = perfect taste and texture. Soy sauce base which is like galbi sauce. We will def come back for another menu. I cant wait. read more

2021 June update: so I love this place deeply but the last I got was not good. It was such a bummer because it takes a good half hour to drive there, and they do charge a slight premium for their reputation. 1. The radish pickle was regrettably bitter, probably because of the itself. 2. The noodles were not quite cooked enough (but they're so thin!) 3. The chilled broth was , not reflective of all the previous years' worth of perfect_every_time broth. 4. There was something of a paucity of veggie toppings compared to previous years. That signature was gone. The usual balance (taste/texture) was way off. Please fix this! read more

When you walk up and see a line outside the place on a Monday afternoon, you know you are in for a treat. The wait wasn't terrible even for a table for 4. The waiter explained the menu well, and 4 giant bowls of noodles were served to us in no time. I got the traditional one (mool nangmyun) which consists of sweet potato based thin noodles embedded in cold beef broth (?), 2 slices of beef, radish, half an egg and pear slices. At first bite, my brain was confused having only had hot noodle soups my entire life, but I gave it a few solid slurps and effort in chewing through the long noodles, waited for my mind to catch up, I was in love. My only complaint was it needed a little salt, but adding white vinegar did the trick for me. Bottom line: I would recommend even if you've never had it before, and I would absolutely come back. One more nice thing to note, most of the patrons here were Korean so you know it's been critically analyzed and validated. read more

Outdoor dining available! Outdoor dining requires you to order "to go" and you can eat right outside but you are not served. Came here for the first time and the food was good. Ordered Mool Naengmyun, LA Kalbi, Kogi Mandoo. Mandoo was the tastiest followed by the Kalbi (a bit on the sweet side but nonetheless delicious) and finally the Naengmyun. Noodles were cooked perfectly, and ice cold as it should be. The broth was pretty bland though. But for a hot day, it definitely hit the spot! read more

I've been to this strip mall to dine at the green noodles with black bean sauce and never knew this place existed. Boo Boo loves korean cold noodle but still like her noodles at another place in pal park. But, she did enjoy the noodles from here too. We ordered the cold noodles with broth, 1 without, and a soft tofu soup as well. I embarrassed Boo Boo because the waitress asked if anyone else was going to dine with us and no it was just us. I was just really hungry that day so no need to judge me. Overall, the service was quick so the turnover on able is fast on busy Friday nights. Visa, MC accepted. read more

A friend of mine highly recommended this place so we drove about 30 min from edgewater! Because we were a large group of 8, we had to wait about 15-20 min. The food was nothing short of amazing and fresh! Because we waited so long, they even through in a free side of dumplings which was very kind of them. If you're like me and can't decide between the watery glass noodles or the spicy glass noodles, I'd recommend trying the spicy glass noodles! I usually prefer the other, but when my friends ordered the spicy one, I instantly regretted not getting it. Regardless of which one you choose, I don't think you would regret it.

Have been a fan of this place for almost 15 years. Their food is really great on most days. However, I went a few weeks ago with my mom. I got the mul nangmyun and my mom got the bibim nangmyun. The waitress brought my mom something totally different with fish and meat on it. When my mom pointed out that she ordered something different, the waitress told my mom that "its okay, just eat it". A waitress should not decide what is OKAY for the customer to eat - the customer could have allergies! Then she walked away before we could even respond. We were beyond angry, my mom barely touched her food. Their food is so good but their staff is terrible and not worth the trouble. read more

This is my favorite nangmyun place so far. I ordered bibim Nangmyun and steamed dumplings. Their sauce for the bibim Nangmyun is tasty and spicy but not too spicy and it doesn't hurt my stomach. They offer two different sizes of Nangmyun. Also the steamed dumplings with pork and veggies were so good it comes with a sauce that's flavorful and not too salty. They give you three side dishes which are all good. They provide quick and good service. read more

Used to go for the great Nangmyun. The broth was intense and flavorful without having to add any vinegar or mustard. Only place that got Nangmyun right. Haven't gone in awhile and decided to go recently. The older ladies and gentlemen are now gone and replaced by younger new owners that do not know what they are doing. The Nangmyun was terrible with no taste in the broth and portions of the brisket have been cut in half. Will not go back. read more

Service was not as good as last time I was here, we did not get the same banchan as the other tables.

This spot is def a hidden gem. I love how they have regular/large size. Usually regular doesn't hit the spot for me so I have to get large. Their broth definitely tastes more healthy and not artificial. If you're into nengmyun, its worth the trip. read more

Plenty of parking in the strip mall. Small but clean on the inside. They didn't have the kalguksu when I went which was disappointing. Sufficient amount of banchan. The hub had regular naeng myun which he said was chewy and thin. Grandma has the cold skate noodles which was spicy but not too much so. Prices seem reasonable. I had the soondubu instead which was solid but I guess I was disappointed about not having kalguksu. Simple menu without a huge number of choices which in general I feel is better than a massive menu. But then disappointing when one thing is missing when you only have fifteen items on the whole menu. Also had their steamed mandoos which were also solid and really felt homemade. Overall a solid restaurant for korean food but limited menu. read more

The shrimp dumplings, nangmyun and complementary(!!!) bone broth are superb. Everything else I've tried on the menu is equally delicious, but HN is really known for the nangmyun.
