    GG1 Bulgogi Gogi
    Nehal A.

    We came here for lunch on Christmas day. We were so glad they were open. We were the only party dining in, but we saw several take out orders being carried out. They have a small dining space with 4 tables. It's relatively clean and modern. The menu is posted on the wall and they have self ordering kiosk. We ordered a bunch of items from the menu, starting with popcorn chicken and spring rolls. Both were really good. For entree I had the Bulgogi Gogi (GG1). I was a delicious bowl filled with flavorful bulgogi ribeye beef mixed with lettuce. The beef phuh (pho) was excellent too. The server at the store was friendly. She explained a lot of the menu items to us and patiently punched in all of our items. The dishes came out in short time too. Overall I really liked the food but wish the dining space was better conditioned (wobbly table, old tile on floor, speaker right next to table blasting music)

    Pretty yummy pho spot; the brisket was tender and plentiful and the broth was refreshing. My husband ordered the spicy pho and wasn't a fan of the spice, it wasn't a sweet spice or spicy spice-- just red. The tteoboki was pretty good; could be spicier. The peach tea drink was refreshing however could be less sour. The place got potential to improve some dishes.

    We came here for lunch and left unsatisfied. I was craving some pho and saw this new place with cool signage. You enter a relatively small restaurant but it has a cool green wall. The service was quick and pretty helpful. I got the spicy chicken pho without any additional vegetables. They said it's a too small to share. But I would disagree. We also got the chicken, spinach and vegetable dumplings. I couldn't really taste a difference between any of them. They were small and extra crispy. Back to the pho. It was very spicy and extra messy. The chili oil was all over our chins by the end of the meal. They use dark meat chicken but it's really big pieces and too chewy. The noodles are plentiful.

    Best PHO ! Phuhroo tops my list. The food was phenomenal , fresh, hot, spicy (optional) and delicious tasting Pho. The ingredients were top class and the taste took me right back to Singapore/hanoi. It's clean and very well maintained. Service excellent. We had questions and were helped . Menu is very big we tried spicy pho with dumplings and tofu. It was the best. I am gonna be back to try banh mi.

    Went to Phuroo yesterday after work. I've been here once before and thought it was just okay, but my usual spot closes between 4-5, so I gave them another shot. Big mistake. The broth was completely bland, no depth of flavor at all. I ordered the brisket with beef broth and the brisket literally looked like Steak-um meat--super thin and unappetizing. The only good thing I can say is that the Spanish lady at the register was very nice and the service was quick. Other than that, I will not be coming back.

    Went to Phuhroo for a late dinner on a weeknight. Surprisingly, they are only open from 5pm to 3am daily. It's a small restaurant, with a few tables and minimal decor. It is clean though. We placed our orders at the register, sat ourselves, and waited. We waited a bit longer than i expected, but it was worth it. We ordered a spicy pho and a regular pho with a side of Cajun fries. The broth was surprisingly good, and the pho contained all of the correct ingredients. Prices were average for the area. I like that the spot is open late. Would definitely try again.

    One of my favorite pho places!! I also truly appreciate the late hours too because sometimes you just need a late night meal/snack!! My absolute favorites are their beef pho with brisket, kimchi bulgogi fries, and fried cod banh mi. Those items never disappoint! Street parking only. Interior is small, but clean and they recently updated the menu and interior (much brighter inside now). Mostly a self-serve, casual place. Usually only one person taking orders in the front.

    3.6 stars rounded up to 4. This is not an authentic Vietnamese food location but rather a fusion. I was surprised by all the positive reviews. Service was nice but minimal, seating area was generally clean and bright, bathroom was generally clean but old. Pho broth was passable, the beef was nice but the ingredients were not Vietnamese style. The banh mi meat was flavorful but the bread was either old or generally not nice. Plus the food was way too oily. We will not be back.

    I'm really happy that there's a Korean x Vietnamese late night eatery in Hackensack. They're open from 5pm-3am every single day! Street parking available with limited tables inside. My reason for a 3 star rating is because my last two visits were inconsistent with the quality of the food. Their menu is small and basically consists of pho, rice bowls, banh mi sandwiches, and appetizers. The prices are a bit higher for a "fast food/fast casual" eatery, but what else is new. On both visits I ordered the bulgogi banh mi sandwich ($16) and handmade beef dumplings ($9). The banh mi was SO GOOD the first time. It came with bulgogi, avocado, two eggs, pickled veggies, cilantro, mint, and spicy mayo. Flavor wise, it was sweet and sour from the pickled veggies, salty from the marinated bulgogi, and the bread was perfectly crispy. The second time around, it wasn't nearly as good.... The flavors didn't quite hit and I got a skimpy portion of meat. The handmade dumplings are just okay... I doubt that they're handmade because they taste like the frozen ones you can get at the supermarket. They tasted better the second visit than the first. My +1 got the pho ($11) and he enjoyed it but thought the broth was too spicy for him. You're able to adjust the spice level though. I've also tried the fruit tea ($7) and oh my gosh it was almost undrinkable. It was WAY TOO SOUR. I wish they were more consistent with the food quality because I really like the fusion menu concept AND it's open late at night. I would still come back to try different menu items, and hopefully they'll be better.

    Phuhroo in Hackensack, NJ, offers a nice mix of Asian flavors in a modern, cozy atmosphere. I really enjoyed their pho, Bahn mi, and dumplings; both were well-prepared and flavorful. However, I did find the prices a bit high for the area. If you're looking for a unique dining experience, it's worth a visit.

    I was way overdo for some pho and banh mi and decided to try this place out. Ordered directly from their website, and it was delivered via Uber eats. It arrived pretty quickly and the temp was just right. The pho was very fragrant and had a flavorful broth. The meat was tender, and there were plenty of noodles and all the standard toppings. Portion was pretty big and filling. It came with a packet of hoisin and sriracha to add to your liking (I added the whole packet of sriracha and made it almost too spicy for me but cleared out my nostrils!). I tried a few bites of the bulgogi banh mi - not traditional Vietnamese but a solid sandwich with nice bread and flavorful fillings. The fried pork dumplings were a nice starter and still crispy on arrival. I enjoyed the Vietnamese Korean take of the menu. Overall, a solid meal - would order again.

    The only reason I know this place exists, is because is through local Youtube food reviewer. I normally don't eat late, seeing as PHUHROO's hours are 5:00-3:00AM, but last night I definitely was craving some soup on a cold day. Put in my order, the guy said it would be ready in 15...came in 12 and the food was hot and ready for pickup! Really awesome and fresh. Didn't stay too long inside their establishment, but it looked clean and orderly. I ordered 2 items: first, I got the Spicy Pho with Brisket ($17). First, I comment the establishment on how they pack the pho --- everything looks beautiful, and I only have to assemble it once home in my big bowl. They also include 2 packets: 1 hoisin, and 1 sriracha. The pho was absolutely delicious! To be honest, I typically choose ramen over pho because pho tends to be light --- but their spicy broth was PACKED WITH FLAVOR! I thought I would split up the portions because it was quite substantial, but ended up finishing it! I think you would do the same. Second item I got is something not really advertised: Popcorn Broccoli ($7). I only know about it because of the King (iykyk), and these little fried morsels were absolutely delicious, served alongside a nice spicy, vinegary sauce that cut through all the oils. Another winner! So why 4 stars and not 5? Price transparency. If you look at the menu at my photos, the Pho should have been 16 dollars. (Pho -11- + Spicy -1- + Brisket -4- =16) I just ask that if they're prices are slightly higher (Pho = 11.50, Brisket 4.50), they better update the public menu so customers are not surprised. I think the change was rather recent, and they just haven't gone around to do it. This is a reminder it needs to be done. But overall? Definitely recommend! 10/10 overall, that missing point is over the price transparency. Once they are, 5's across the board!

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.
