    Beef Bulgogi Kimbap
    karuki

    The food here is amazing, it tastes fresh and the flavors combine so well. The service here is great! The lady at the counter has such a nice smile, and she even gave me a free stick of gum!! The eatery itself is kinda noise and overwhelming if you have social anxiety (like myself).. but no worries, they have an online order kiosk next to the booth if you're nervous talking to people. Will come again, delicious kimbap~ I got the beef bulgogi~

    (Overall: C) - This is a small, kind family-owned shop in a food court and it is clear that the owners has a love for cooking Korean food. Unfortunately, I found most of the food to miss the mark in terms of taste, but I do hope to see the shop improve over time. (Bulgogi Kimbap: C) - You can tell that there was a lot of love put into meticulously wrapping this Kimbap with the multi-colored vegetables that each add their own texture and flavor. Unfortunately though, the beef tastes bland, boiled, and dry even though I saw it cooked in front of me on a pan, perhaps because it was on a small fire for too long a time and not marinated enough. We really hope for the bulgogi to be the driving flavor, but unfortunately it was the pickled radish. (Crab Samgak Kimbap: D) - What stands out from the Korean Kimbap is the abundance and varied use of vegetables to develop upon the Japanese counter part. Unfortunately, I thought this triangular version undid all of that by only putting crab, egg, sandwiched between a significant amount of rice, leaving out the beauty of the burdock and other fascinating Korean flavors. -- Food: -1 Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: +1 Menu: E Overall: +0 C Insta/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

    The kimbap here is so fresh! Everything is made to order and the flavors are so good. I always make sure to stop by when I'm in the area.

    I was surprised to see another kimbap place in chinatown. I was so excited, and it definitely did not disappoint! However, it was my first time entering this food court, and it wasn't the best-looking place. Authentic. Delicious. Flavorful. Kindness is a bonus. The couple, I assume, owners, were so sweet. Since they had a couple of other orders that they were working on ahead of me, they were worried that I would be waiting long and offered me a cup of their Sikhye to try. I've never heard of this drink before, let alone tried it. It was pretty good, actually. After completing my order, instead of calling me over, the woman brought the order to me and proceeded to educate me on the drink. It made me feel good knowing that it's a healthy drink because I am on a diet, lol. Now, the food itself was a 10/10. I ordered the beef bulgogi while my coworker tried the spicy tuna (wish it were spicier). We both loved it and vowed to be back. I especially like the fact that the carrots did not have a strong flavor (I hate carrots, sorry). I hope they will be around for a long time, even if it's not within this food court. I want to be a long-term customer.

    This place is a hidden gem inside the Mott Street Eatery! It's hard to find good kimbap that really delivers a satisfying bite. You need the perfect rice to filling ratio, a variety of ingredients that complement each other, and ideally, fresh rolls that bring out all the flavor. The kimbap here actually delivers on all of that, and they are sizable portions too. There is a pretty expansive menu to choose from, and you can see your food being made right in front of you since everything is made to order. I love that there are also a bunch sides to choose from, like fresh grilled rice cake and sausage skewers. Plus yummy rice drinks that are all house made. Also, the owners here are so sweet and you can tell they care so much about making food that is healthy and delicious. They take quality of ingredients super seriously and that really translates into their food. This is an awesome spot for a quick meal or to go order. I'll definitely be back!

    Newly opened kimbap spot! Freshly made kimbap is unbeatable. The owners were incredibly kind and offered me a sample of their tteokbokki. I usually don't enjoy dishes made primarily of chewy starch, but this one exceeded my expectations. It was small with a crunchy exterior, well-seasoned, and you could even taste a hint of sausage flavor as you chewed.

    The stand!

    Saw that there was a new Kimbap/Korean spot in Chinatown and decided to give it a shot! Although affordable, the food is delicious and fresh. I got the Beef Kimbap and Tuna Mayak Kimbap. The Kimbap was dense and filling, I was able to split the two items into two meals! I didn't dine in but there is the option to in a nice ventilated food court with plenty of seating. The people running the store were so friendly and kind and are happy to customize your order however you want. I would suggest bringing cash as it's a small business (thought they do take card). I can't wait to try the other things on the menu and bring my friends-- will definitely be visiting here regularly!

    Inside Mott St Eatery lies a mom&pops gimbal shop ran by a sweet couple. The gimbap is made fresh, well seasoned and hefty. The customer service is impeccable. We got the spicy tuna which was delicious, though not e'very spicy. Will definitely be coming back to try other flavors.

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!

When we pulled up to the restaurant, we were informed there were a few levels. We went to the second floor and they were happy to accommodate us. We were rolling 6 deep and the booth was enough for us, but barely. In our party, majority of us wanted meat with the exception of 2 people only wanting shrimp and something else. We got the large beef combination platter which comes with ribeye, thin skirt, brisket, marinated kalbi, and marinated chuck flap. Most people stuck with water, while a couple got ginger ale. I ordered the soju flight but I ended up not liking it so my cousins shared it. The meal comes with different veggies as well as your choice of soup. We got the spicy tofu and split it 6 ways. The spice lived up to its name, so I didn't eat very much. The best part was meat. Despite there being 6 of us, there was plenty to go around. I think you have the option to cook it yourself or have them cook it for you and we chose the latter. While I enjoyed it, I wish there was more space. Most of the space was taken up by the accompaniments that come with it (veggies, etc), so there was hardly any room to put anything else. It didn't help that none of our dishes were cleared once we finished them and that no rice is included. Aside from that, both the food and service were great.

Do yourself a favor, don't bother to come there! Oh and also they tell you that you can only spend 1.5 there, a limit on your stay. You get the picture.

The octopus tteokbokki included some fried seaweed on top, which was a nice addition, but was a little bit too spicy for me (I have a low spice tolerance LOL), but would be perfect with some rice. The flavor of the honey chicken was amazing, and it was super crispy. However, I believe they did include some pumpkin seeds on top, which was an interesting addition. Service was amazing, and it had a pretty intimate atmosphere, which was in a dim setting. Amazing for a date night, or dinner with some friends!

But there's no denying that BCD has upped their soondubu game considerably in the last decade+ with a thicker, more deeply flavored broth, and now easily rivals my longtime favorite and gold standard, the OG So Kong Dong in Fort Lee. Then I stumbled into a hack that changed my view: lunch! I ducked in for a late lunch on a whim while walking by one day, and this turned out to be a much chiller hour, unhurried and no reservation needed. I was promptly seated, my order taken, and the banchan swiftly laid out. The banchan spread is solid across the board (the little fried fish does nothing for me, but seems to be a highlight for everyone else). I especially love the kimchi, near-perfect IMO, and the pickled cucumber. There's a modest lunch discount, which is a nice bonus for someone who likes to order aggressively. I usually get an oyster, seafood, or assorted soondubu (with a raw egg cracked in), danger spicy of course! Or go the C1 combo route with a galbi (marinated bbq beef short ribs) + smaller soondubu. It's an enormous amount of food, so I take most of the galbi home and feel no shame about it. The galbi, by the way, has also gotten noticeably better over the years - meatier, tender, and the flavor is on point. I've also enjoyed their bibimbap, bulgogi, jap chae, and seafood pancake. Finally, let's talk heat - this chili-head loooves fire! And BCD's danger level is one of the rare instances where the spice level actually meets my punishing tolerance for heat, not some pretense at "American spicy.," despite this being a chain. Their danger level actually means business and brings tears to my eyes, literally. It's still not my favorite place ambience wise, and dinner remains a contact sport I've mostly opted out of, as gone are the days that I can tolerate a culinary mosh pit, and any wait longer than 10 minutes (and only for a superlative place) will trigger an automatic ejection of my presence. But for lunch? Unexpectedly great. 4 stars for dinner, 5 for lunch.
