    the interior of a restaurant
    Jane M.

    Loved the ambiance however the food was meh. Had chicken gizzard which had old frozen chicken smell to it and the fish egg soup?() tasted too much like msg.soup. staff were super quick and nice. FYI They dont have any draft beer even though its in their website

    Cute spot to come for some drinks and food! I love that there were so many booth for us to sit. It felt very private which I love. I also loved that the music was not so loud like some other pocha places. You can actually have a conversation here! We had the beef brisket with chives. This was delicious however the beef was definitely not brisket but some thinly sliced beef that was more like your regular bulgogi. This didn't bother us tho because it was really delicious We also ordered the fiery chicken and cheese and thought this was delicious as well. Very cheesy and the chicken had a nice spicy flavor. Service was good even though there was only one waitress tending to all the tables. I just wished they have some beer on tap. Only bottles for now Overall a solid spot and definitely recommend!

    The food was incredibly authentic. It felt like I was eating at a dive in Korea. Highly recommend.

    My second time here and came here for my friend's birthday on a Friday around 6:30pm. There was no line and got seated by one of the waiters. Parking is available in the building. Ended up ordering the army stew which was really good and wasn't too spicy, scallion chicken, egg omelette and dried squid and some sort of fish fillet jerky. And two rounds of the soju and 3 beer combo. Everything was delicious, especially the scallion chicken which came with a tasty sauce (two types of sauces mixed in). Only negatives: Place was kinda hot but they blasted the AC (bathroom was freezing) and the seating was uncomfortable for me which was like a bench with short back support but had built in cushions. Staff shortage? I would def come here again and would recommend anyone that wants that Pocha vibe.

    5/5 ambiance. Perfect for pocha! Such cute lightings inside and sectioned off very well so thst you have privacy! 5/5 food. For a pocha, we thought it was pretty decent!! They don't really have cocktails but mostly alcohol by the bottle. The alcohol is perfect temperature, nice and cool! 5/5 service. There is a button by the wall to call the waiter if you need anything. They are really nice and fast to meet your needs!

    12.03.2022 10/10 Rice balls They're basically kimbap in a ball with a lot more rice; absolutely delicious! I don't see it on their online menu, but if you can order it in the restaurant. I believe these are meat-free, but don't quote me on it! We also ordered the beef brisket with chives and the spicy jokbal (chicken feet)! They were both really good. It was my first time trying korean spicy jokbal; I was pleasantly surprised! The place has strong pocha vibes, the restaurant was packed by 10pm! Waiters were really friendly :) Would highly recommend!

    Fried Dumplings

    Came in on a Friday evening with family around 5pm. There is a small garage below the restaurant, so parking was not a problem at all. There is a main dining area, but we were seated in a private room since our party was slightly larger than what could be accommodated in the main room. Both our servers were attentive and we did not wait long when we asked for anything we needed (utensils, napkins, drink refills, etc.). I would come back and order absolutely everything we ordered again! We ordered the Fried Dumplings, Chives Pancake, Potato Pancake, Corn Cheese, Beef Brisket w. Chives, Honey Butter Chicken, Steamed Pork, Grilled Pork Galbi, Spicy Rice Cakes w. Noodles, Seafood Ramen, and Pork Cutlet. It all tasted amazing, but if I had to choose just ONE thing that was my favorite, the Pork Cutlet was the winner. I'm a fan of foods with crunch and the sauce this dish came with just sent it over the top. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be back again!

    I came by here on a Friday night just to grab a quick bite with my friends before heading back home -- more so for the general experience and to compare to it the other pochas that we've tried. I LOVED how aesthetic it was!! The lights were so beautiful and I liked how well each booth was decorated. As it was a Friday night, it was pretty packed with people but the booths separated us away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the pocha. I also appreciated that they had a button to push for help if we ever needed to get the attention of the waiter. We ended up only trying the vegetarian dishes to accommodate for our friend so that we could share the food. The portions were very large and enough for the 4 of us! Overall, we had a pretty good experience. I would definitely come back to try their meat dishes out!!

    Oh man, i like this pocha! There are two floors of seating here so it's pretty big. The downstairs was a little cold though. Very pocha feel When they gave me the menu and it was korean only, i expected only good korean food hah. I'm sure they have english menus upon request. The options are pretty ample and hits all the major pocha dishes. They also have the japaness tako wasabi! I was dying to try cheese buldak/chicken forever. I suck with spicy stuff but the chicken was flavorful enough for me to want to deal with the spiciness hah. I'd recc this spot and would come back again :) Prob the top 2 fave pocha spots so far in the fort lee/ridgefield/pal park area. They have pretty much no veggie dishes here btw. Not that anyone would really look for this at a pocha spot but was an observation.

    Went with family and got seated immediately by respectful workers. If you need anything, you just need to press the button on the wall and a worker will come by shortly. The food was very authentic to Korean culture and I would definitely recommend for taste alone but also recommend for the atmosphere. It is laid back and a little loud but every table is minding their own business.

    This is a review for their karaoke section. I had made a reservation a week in advance and secured the largest room. This is waaay bigger than anything you'll get in Ktown (and less of a hassle to get to). It's $5 pp/hr if you have four or more people. A few complaints though. The song book and controller were pretty much all in Korean. While there were some classic songs available, they really need to update the English section. They said the controller and book were being used in a different room and they only had one copy. If you are not in a Korean group, definitely reserve it in advance. It was a bit hard to navigate but they finally explained it to us. Additionally there's a service bell to ring to place orders and drinks. Ours unfortunately was broken so we had to keep walking out to the waitstaff. Overall it was a great experience, and I'm definitely coming back. The restaurant is amazing, but the karaoke section definitely needs a more TLC.

    Cute pocha in Fort Lee! It's kind of on the inside of a small strip mall area and the aesthetic is very loungey. The service is good and they have a button to call for the waiter too. I wish their menu was a little bit more extensive but other than that I enjoyed the food, decor, and drinks!

    Fiery cheesy chicken (Chicken Buldok?). Asked for it less spicy
    Kelsey A.

    We happened to come here by chance when Soup Dumpling Plus had too long of a wait. It was a beautiful surprise. Everything from the food to the decor was amazing. The booths and ambiance make you feel like you're really in Korea or Japan. The honey butter wings, scallion pancake, galbi, and fiery chicken with cheese dish. The wings were chewy on the inside yet crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked. I asked for the fiery chicken less spicy and they were able to accommodate. It was the perfect amount of spice and very flavorful. The galbi was super tender. The scallion pancake was also delicious. I typically like a crispier scallion pancake but this one had more of a bouncy chewy texture which was surprisingly good. Definitely will be coming back.

    How do people make a reservation for a birthday? No one picks up the phone unless the number listed is wrong.

    I made a reservation by calling their restaurant- 201-482-4982. Hope it works!

    Do they have a karaoke room?

    Yes they do

    Do they have heat for outside seating?

    They don't have outside seating. All tables (booth style) are inside.

Claudia made sure she is on top of everything. From menu selection making it "personalized" by printing the celebrant's name on its menu list and making sure our requests were accommodated. She replied to all my e-mails right away. Our server Dejan is also wonderful - making us feel like we are VIPs! The staff are friendly and making sure our needs were all met. The brunch menu we had - presentation is 5 out of 5. The salmon, chicken wings and the empanada trio were a hit. Will rate them 5 out of 5 for the taste.

Steak was cooked well to the Medium Rare temp that we like and was seasoned well. Calamari and shrimp were hot and crispy. Shishito peppers were spicy with a sweet and savory flavor to which I thought paired well with the steak. Broccolini were seasoned and cooked well with a salty and savory flavor. A5 Wagyu roll was very enjoyable but could have used just a bit more meat for the price. Maduros were way too sweet for our liking as they are already sweet itself, but they get drenched in a honey chili sauce as well. For the food we had received and price paid, we've definitely experienced better for cheaper. Felt as if the cost is also more for the ambiance and experience. The place is very nice and aesthetic with a live DJ on a Friday night, but tables and seating arrangements are very close to each other. Side note: Its common to go to restaurants where a party of 4 or more means auto gratuity added, but to be automatically charged 18% for only a party of 2? Thankfully, our server took care of us through the night. Just a heads up for anyone who prefers to tip based on service rather than a preset percentage on the bill.

There were multiple places throughout the establishment which were set up with a back drop to snap pictures.  The vibe on the top floor blew my mind. I never imaged there would be a place like this is Bergenfield. There were dancers on stilts, confetti, smoke machines, and a screen to watch the dj. I enjoyed myself.

    Beautiful setting and great vibes if you are looking to chill out or party with your friends…read more Service was quite good but Food options was quite limited when compared to the Drinks Menu, and price was definitely on the higher end, which was still acceptable for such a spot. We had ordered Guacamole which tasted kind of bland and was just average. Drinks were pretty good though. My main issue was how they have setup their Hookah. Very limited Flavors to begin with and except for one, all other flavors were not so great. On top of that, they charge $10 extra to replace the Coals. $10 for COALS..?!?!? I have been to so many Hookah Lounges and this was the 1st we were ever charged for getting the coals changed. That is just atrocious. Switching the complete bowl with new flavor was $20, so obviously we ended up opting for that eventhough the 1st bowl/flavour was still good and just needed new coals.

Some of the wine prices were actually much better than other areas (especially when compared to the city). Cute intimate place that would be great for a date night. Came here after dark but feel like coming for brunch would be good as well to really get most of the view. I'd say definitely worth a visit.
