    Pork Cutlet
    Paul K.

    I had lunch on a Friday. We were the only table (we were a group of 7) at 12pm but by the time we left at around 1:30pm there were quite a number of tables filled. I had the pork cutlet. Though the portion was quite sizable, I found it quite salty especially with the small amount of rice included. I would recommend just serving the normal portion of rice that comes with all the other meals. My colleagues all enjoyed their meals and a few had enought leftover to take home as well (they had ordered the hot bowls of soup). The prices are very reasonable for the area. Would recommend.

    10/10 neighborhood spot! We went to Lim's Kitchen for a lowkey dinner to end the weekend and had a great experience! The restaurant was spacious and clean-- there were lots of tables available. The food was great too. We had the Army Stew and Korean Fried Chicken and both were delicious. The Army Stew was flavorful, the ramen was nice and chewy, and they are generous with the sausage and spam chunks in the soup. We opted for the Soy Garlic flavor for the wings, and those were wonderful too! Super crunchy, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Service was super friendly at Lim's Kitchen too. I will say, they seem understaffed, especially in the front. There was one employee who was acting as the host, bussing tables, taking orders, handling the delivery orders, answering the phone, literally everything. We didn't mind because we weren't in a huge rush. Just a reminder to stay patient with small restaurants and businesses:-) Would totally return!!

    I'm surprised on how not many people know about this hidden gem around the area. I would get lunch from here since it is close to wear I work and all of the times I've been here, their customer service is always nice & friendly. I personally like their squid kimbap the most. They don't skimp on the squid and it's very well seasoned. For the kimbap- they give miso soup on the side which makes it even more filling for lunch. Seating wise- there's ample amount of tables so dont worry. You'll be able to snag one even during lunch time. Would definitely come back again to try their other items on the menu. Tip: they accept card with no minimum.

    Wasn't the biggest fan of the Jajangmyeon, perhaps I should've went in person (tried adding some gochugaru on top). I've seen good things of the gimbap but I didn't have a chance to order that one unfortunately-- still in search for good jajangmyeon in the city Cheers!

    Tuna kimbop, rice cake with sausage, kimchi cold noodle, bibimbob, cheese stick and pickles were all very good. We had them delivered so fried dumpling was a bit soggy but still good. I would order again.

    The kimchi, soft tofu stew was fantastic. Now I'm gonna try the kimchi stew which also includes pork.

    From the outside it looked closed, but it's actually opened. There's seating inside but mainly people order take out from here. I went there to place my order. It didn't take that long as I decided on the bulgogi kimbap. Yes, it was delicious and it filled me up even though I didn't have any breakfast. It took me a while to decide as the menu had a lot of korean dishes that I wanted to try. I went by convenience and price point. I say to check it out if you're in the neighborhood.

    I must've come on a really off day because my experience was mediocre at best, and the way that some of the banchan looked, it did not feel authentic at all. Personally, I feel like there's much better Korean food in the city (though I liked that this place is closer to me than ktown). Our kimchi fried rice also came with absolutely no spam (lol), but the server was pretty nice about it and switched it out. My biggest ick was that it smelled strongly of some weird chemicals inside the restaurant, and the smell clung onto my clothing even hours after coming home (my friends all agreed). The only thing we really appreciated was how nice the server was, who always made sure our water and side dishes were full.

    My friends and I came by for lunch on a Saturday as the restaurant just opened for the day so we were seated right away. We ordered a few different dishes to share: a pancake, fried chicken and jajangmyun. The fried chicken was very good, but I think the jajangmyun had a lot of onions on top. Overall we enjoyed the food at the restaurant and it is a cozy place.

    Two way fried chicken and wings with sauce on the side. Bibimbap, kimchi... pickle daikons.

    We stayed at a hotel nearby and wanted to order some takeout. Gave this place a try as it has good Yelp review. Took some time to wait for the food, but we didn't mind. That told us that they are not premade the food and reheating them. Wow, we like everything we ordered. The dinner area is very clean, too! And the gentleman who helped us was very polite! Like the other reviewer said, this is a hidden gem, if you are in the neighborhood, go taste it yourself!

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.

    What a nice kbbq experience!!…read more I rlly liked the shrimp & chive pancake bc it wasn't super heavy and not full of batter like other places. Pretty light and crispy with a lot of shrimp and chives. Skirt steak was my fav, very tender and so much authentic flavor.

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. Don't waste your time and better spend your money elsewhere.

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.

    Experience was great. Service was great and attentive…read more I really liked how the chairs doubled as storage for our bags and jackets so that they would not absorb the smell of bbq. I went with my sister and my daughter. We ordered the beef combo for 2 and a seafood pancake. The portion was just right.

My sister had her portion cooked to well done since she is currently pregnant and didnt want to risk having any problems (not everything ended up being well done though). I personally prefer the pancake from elsewhere but it was not bad. My picky daughter really liked it. The combo came with a steam egg and boy was that good. Our meal ended with a yummy ice cream for each of us. This meal however made a pretty big dent in my wallet. It was my fault for not checking the menu before heading in.
