    Chicken Wings (8) in KINYOBI sauce
    Stephanie C.

    Don't be afraid to get your KINYOBI now! Easy, delicious Korean food with a twist that has remained consistent in flavor and presentation. My husband and I started ordering from here several years ago and it's become one of our favorite take-out spots in all of NJ. The Korean Chicken Wings in KINYOBI Hot Sauce are amazingly crispy and tender. They have a nice sweet spice that doesn't blow out your pallet. I could eat those wings every day and never get sick of them - they're that good. We usually go back and forth between the K-town Ramen and the Ugly Ramen which are equally delicious. The K-town broth is rich in flavor and spice & the noodles have great texture/taste. They are quick and efficient, always providing great service in a casual atmosphere. A 5-star experience every time.

    Crispy chicken

    My partner in crime and I stumbled upon Kinyobi after a long day of errands. I will mention that it was hard to find parking. We ate inside the restaurant. The restaurant itself is small but comfortable and clean. The order taker was kind and pleasant, gave us an ample amount of napkins, and checked how we liked everything. We ordered crispy chicken, bulgolgi, and ugly ramen. My partner liked the food more than I did. I enjoyed the crispy chicken and ramen but found the bulgolgi to be abit chewy. I would come back to give Kinyobi another try. Their menu is interesting and one of a kind.

    Came after work on a Tuesday and the restaurant itself was empty, which was perfect for us to dine in. There were quite a few takeout orders and there seemed to be a relatively steady stream of people coming in to pickup their orders (always a promising sign). I had the kimchi fries and the K town Ramen, which were both delicious! The fries were perfectly crispy and the pulled pork and Kim chi and bbq sauce/sour cream/cheese made for a very tasty combination. The Kim chi seemed like it was roasted/sautéed down, so I wished more of the tangy/spicy kimchi flavors were still apparent, but it was still a great dish regardless. The ramen was also very flavorful, noodles had great texture, and it was the perfect amount of spice. A friend tried their chicken wings and the Ugly Ramen and said they were both yummy too.

    I was driving down Kinderkamack heading towards Hackensack. I was hungry. I needed a snack. Korean fried chicken? That'd be whack. OK all rhyming aside, this place was highly rated on yelp close to my family house in Dumont so I rolled the dice. The wings were amazing. Service was fast super friendly. Chicken was hot, crispy, delicious. I had some kimchi on the side. I scarfed down the wings in about 10 minutes . Next time I find myself in Bergen County I would not hesitate to get more wings from this great mom and pop joint.

    The food portions and taste are decent, but the price does not feel worth it. I got the soba special and my friend got the bibimbap. They were just, OK. There are no Banchan provided. It seemed like there's no bathroom but I can't confirm. The staff are friendly and seem to know their regulars well. There's a slight discount for using cash instead of card as you can find in most places in Hackensack. You order at the front and there isn't necessarily someone to wait on you. It's a cozy place and I could see this being someone's go to in the area, but driving out a little bit more from the area and there's better Korean dishes for the price.

    UGLY Ramen. That's the good kind of ugly. It was a unique taste, not so much protein but it's saucy. Personally it's my favorite and is my go to. I ordered a bowl for myself and insisted I couldn't finish and can share with my friend while he tries something else on the menu. He took a few bites, looked at me, and said next time I'm ordering my own! 5/5 The kimchi fries were a 3/5. I had better in ktown and in westwood. I'd say it's missing more kimchi. The fries and cheese felt separate rather than a melting pot of cheese potato goodness. The sliders were very good. They were generous with the pork. 4/5 Will be back and try new items! There's a private parking lot (4-5 cars only) in the back but you can also park on the street.

    After a long day of shopping with my back and legs achy, last thing I need was to make my way home to have dinner. Pulled out the yelp and looked . Found this nice little place and ordered the same order as the first review I saw and was not disappointed. In fact the kimchi fries amazingly hit all the flavor profiles all at once while doing what fried normally do which is give you that satisfaction.

    Decor/Food Packaging: This time I ordered for pickup so I was able to get a photo of the interior. Kinyobi is taking their covid measures seriously, so that's good. They have plexi glass up and they only allow 1 customer into the store at a time. Hand sanitizer is available by the card reader so you can sanitize after you pay. And their packaging is great! For some reason, I just love that they tie your bag with a tiny string ribbon. Food: On this visit, I ordered 2 K-Town Ramen and 1 burrito w/fries. My order was missing the rice cakes, but the 2nd order had them so I was able to try the full experience. At first I thought the poached egg was missing, but later realized it's below the ramen noodles. The broth was delicious. Overall, the food was very flavorful :)

    The decor of Kinyobi is simple, cozy but narrow-spaced with limited seats. Outdoor dining is currently not available. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The options on the menu were limited. We had their Galbi Taco and Spicy Pork plate. The food was overall delicious and flavorful with reasonable prices. We loved their fusion cuisine. The taco was appetizing and greatly matched with Korean style steak. The spicy pork was too hot for me but great with rice.

    I wish I lived closer to this place! The food here is absolutely amazing!! I live probably an hour away but wanted to go to IKEA for some shopping, after shopping my sister and I were starving so we looked up somewhere to go. I am so happy this was the place we picked to try. NJ still has no seating inside so we got our orders to go, aka to eat in the car so we tried to get things car eating friendly. We started with the kimchi fries. My sister and I both agreed that Kinyobi gave us the best fries we might have ever had. Crispy, warm, insides still soft. So freaking good. On top of the fries just being amazing the topping were also great. Pulled pork was cooked very well, super tasty! We asked for sour cream but to add spicy mayo instead. The spicy may just took this to a whole new level. Would 100% recommend. We also both ordered Bibimbap. I got the spicy chicken version and she got the bulgogi. She had really good things to say about the bulgogi. I was obsessed with the spicy chicken. Not crazy spicy but definitely had a kick. With all the toppings, so many different prepared veggies, every bite tasted different and everything was good. I loved how these both came with a miso soup on the side, just a little extra but to a great meal. Can't wait for the next time I have to hit up a store near by, will definitely be coming back.

    Is the ramen really spicy?

    No. They use gochujang which is mild spicy. They make food to order so speak up and request how u like it.

    Loved the atmosphere of this place! While it was quiet on a Tuesday evening and we were the only…read morepatrons in the restaurant other than a big party, the service was still fantastic. My friends and I sat in the bar dining room and the bartender and wait staff was very attentive in providing us with the specials for Tuesday and the rest of the menu. The group ordered the Shanghai Jerk Chicken, Five Spiced Salmon, and the Honey Butter Garlic Shrimp. They give you these delicious chip and dip in the beginning, which I thought should be in a bigger bowl because we ate that up SO fast. While I can't speak to everyone's meals, my dish, the Shanghai Jerk Chicken was delicious! It comes with a drumstick and a small breast of chicken slathered in this amazing Jamaican flavoring that really gave it a good kick! If you're into spicy foods, this is something that will satisfy that need! On the side were rice and peas with some veggies such as carrots and broccoli. It was cooked perfectly- the food came out hot. The chicken wasn't too dry and rice and beans were nice and soft (sometimes these tend to be a little firm). I highly recommend this place and would definitely consider coming back for some kind of event! It was clean and orderly, the staff was attentive, and the food was delicious!

I ordered the curry chicken and was served what appeared to be the end of the pot -- scraps of meat that had fallen off the bone. For $37, I did not expect to receive leftovers or what looked like the remainder of the dish. When I brought it to the server's attention, I was told it was the end of the pot. That was very disappointing and honestly unacceptable at that price point. If it wasn't for my grandson being hungry, I would have sent the plate back. The quality and presentation did not match the cost, and it took away from what could have been a much better experience. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because no customer should feel shortchanged when paying full price.

Its a very small restaurant, limited seating. Hot and sour soup was good, and chicken lollipop was ok ( could use more flavor) . Now for the entres: We got the sczechuan chicken , chicken chili dry and the hakka noodles. We thought it would be strips or cubes of chicken battered but this was not the case. The entrees both use a meatball type of thing as the protein, and was not good at all. The portion of the dishes was so small. The chili dry had more of black pepper taste than anything. There was also a plastic taste in it ( im assuming they store the sauce in a plastic container ?) The sczechuan chicken had a tangy and strange flavor. The hakka noodles had absolutely no flavor but the only thing with a decent portion. Awful food, so mad we spent $75 here ( which is so not appropriate for the location and food). So disappointed.

Like other asian places, they offer chili paste on the table so you can customize your dishes. They have about 6-7 tables, but overall it's more like a take out place. The owner is a nice guy. He offered hot tea as we waited for food. Food took sometime, which we did not mind at all.
