    Onion Rings
    Cici M.

    Small cozy restaurant so be sure to curb your expectations, but don't let the looks fool you! The service was A1, the servers were every attentive. I really must admit .. every single thing I had was delicious, even down to the random onion rings I was in the mood for. The Mac and cheese was cheesy but not overly, the creamed spinach was good but not something to rave about, the thick bacon TOP TIER, and last but mostly not least the rib eye for 2 as quite perfectly made. I would 100% recommend this restaurant and I'll be back !

    Believe the hype. My husband and I heard about Prime and Beyond from lots of different friends and acquaintances and finally decided to make a special visit. First impressions are unimpressive - it doesn't look like much from the outside and it's surprisingly small and cozy on the inside - but this seemingly humble spot serves up some delightful meats. Both dry- and wet-aged are available, the butcher-fresh cuts are available for purchase to take home. One of the unique things about the menu here is that there's a clear infusion of Korean dishes, like the kimchi stew. I thought the cost of some side dishes like kimchi seemed a little steep (especially since they're typically free in traditional Korean restaurants), but it was intriguing to see such things served alongside steakhouse offerings. We opted for a kimchi carbonara to start, and that was truly intriguing. The pasta was studded with pieces of bacon and slick with a rich and cheesy sauce with a spicy fermented funk that could only be ascribed to a touch of gochujang. We'd never tried anything like it anywhere else and absolutely loved this interpretation of a classic pasta dish. If there were any notes about our meal, it's that the fat cap on the edge of our steak was thicker than we typically prefer. But I'd argue that was on us since servers bring by each cut of steak for inspection before it heads to the grill. In this and countless other ways, service was seamless. Other small and random notes: - Reservations are only made over the phone. - This restaurant is BYOB! Had we but known, we would've come prepared. Don't make the same mistake we did and bring your own bottle. - Finding parking in this area can be a madhouse; thankfully, there's a small parking lot out front.

    They reminded us about 2hr limit for staying couple of times, during the reservation and when we were ordering. FYI, the place was empty. For lunch, they only serve until 2 so get there early. Food was OK, but I was expecting better for the price. We had different cuts of steaks and wet/dry aged. To be honest, I couldn't taste the dry age flavor and was surprisingly chewy. Leads me to believe these are choice cuts.

    undoubtedly the best steakhouse i've had in NYC/NJ area. i think if you have an asian taste palette, this is 100% going to be the best steak place for you. the food: the wet aged ribeye was the best cut of meat hands down. i would get this 1000% over the dry aged. so good and tender!!! the other must orders are, kimchi carbonara, squid, onion rings, and caesar salad. the other dishes were also really good, we had the garden salad, shrimp cocktail, kimchi fried rice, and potato salad as well. however not must orders! the steak comes with scallion salad, which is the perfect way to cut through the grease and often what i need when i go to an american steakhouse. the space: it's not too big but not too small the service: SO kind and attentive

    Never disappointing. If craving steak near Fort Lee, Leonia Bergen County area - other than Ruth's Chris - this is the place. All the usual menu - Tomahawk, Porter House, skirt steak- as great as any other steak house. Their side menus are also worth the try, especially the creamed spinach and mushrooms. It is BYOB, another reason to visit.

    Came here with a coworker for lunch since the pricing is much more approachable than dinner. We were seated right away, and I appreciated that they offer parking, even if it's limited. We ordered the lunch box special and the wet-aged ribeye. Both were incredibly tasty. The lunch box is huge, definitely something you could share or take home for later. The space is cozy and well packed with tables, so it can feel a bit tight, but the food more than makes up for it. They also have a butcher shop inside where you can buy high-quality meat to take home, which is a great bonus. Great lunch spot overall and I'd absolutely come back.

    It was a great taste steaks

    parking not big so as Restaurant space however meat and steaks are great. I recommend you to try those steaks.

    Grilled octopus

    My friends and I came here for the lunch service this past Saturday as a party of 5 and a baby to celebrate our birthday. Ive been meaning to check this place out for a while. Glad I did. The lunch menu is very affordable compared to their dinner menu. We started with grilled octopus, crab cake, and dry aged crust for appetizers. All was scrumptious. I especially loved the side of pickled red onion and sauerkraut. Was reallly really good and helped cut the grease. The octopus was so good with the orange sauce that it came with. Then we had the ribeye, lamb chop, and ny bone in. All mains came with some rice, a fried egg, and side salad. We were all very full and very satisfied with our meals. Only note is that their ribeye was on the thinner side. Maybe due to it being lunch. But it was very juicy. I think lunch service was a really good value. And the sides were all geared to the korean palette which I thought was a nice touch and everything was much less salty than at traditional steak houses. The ambiance wasn't super fancy or anything. It did feel a little bit cramped in there. But i would return.

    Kimchi Carbonara and bone marrow soup in the cup
    Jeri L.

    The food here is absolutely delicious! We are meat lovers and have been to numerous steakhouses in NJ, NYC, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio! We loved our wet boneless ribeye, cooked perfectly, I wanted my steak rare plus, exactly as ordered and the medium rare steak came out exactly as expected! The quality of meat is excellent! Also we tried the kimchi carbonara, it was phenomenal, so tasty, a MUST TRY, and the bone marrow soup was delicious, not too salty either! It is a BYOB so don't forget your spirits/wines! Also don't be put off by the 2 hour dining time limit, it's a smaller restaurant so they do need table turnovers. We did not feel rushed at all.

    Took quite some time to finally have the chance to try this place out after hearing a lot of good word of mouth. However I'm glad I was able to indulge in this steakhouse/butcher shop hybrid restaurant. The one thing to keep in mind is that portions here are insane. The house salad was big enough for 3 or 4 people to share. The fried calamari was big enough to make you full unless you have a few others on the table to enjoy the tasty dish with. One order of bacon contains 2 gigantic slices, so you get the point. The (good) problem with a place like this is that if you are into trying a lot of their delicious appetizers et al you'll likely get full pretty fast. One appetizer that is worth the weight though is the onion soup. The broth is not salty and the cheese was incredibly savory and indulgent. The cheese really carried the flavor (and not leaning on a salty soup) and it was so incredibly delicious. Sure this made me pretty damn full already but it was absolutely worth it. I would strongly recommend it. The steak I ordered was the 14 oz boneless NY Strip. This steak felt way bigger than 14 oz, not that it's a bad thing but it was definitely very heavy. The meat quality was very good and the flavor was excellent. The homemade sauce was also very nice. I probably would have enjoyed this more if the appetizers didn't stuff me to the brim, but it was still absolutely delicious. To be honest I expected nothing less from a butcher shop hybrid. Too bad I was too full to enjoy dessert but the overall experience was amazing and very indulgent. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone who's a meathead and has no problem eating giant slabs of meat. Keep in mind my 14 oz piece of meat was on the 'smaller' side - I saw other tables order bigger cuts and they were absolutely immense - so be mindful of what you order and how much you can actually enjoy ....

    Kimchi Fried Rice With Skirt Steak
    Gina Jiyoung L.

    The best meat quality for the size & price- I love this place (with a passion)+ for lunch they give you an egg too The dinner steaks are amazing as well- came 2 weeks ago and back again if this isn't an obsession idk what is (and waitresses are super sweet!)

    Patrick W.

    TLDR: A little family run spot in Fort Lee. Think your classic steakhouse with a slight Korean twist. Shrimp cocktail. Skirt steak. BYOB - you're welcome. To be honest, the first time I tried Prime & Beyond; didn't love it. We tried it again and we've really gotten to like this spot. Really the only thing that gives the hint of Korean is they have kimchi fried rice on the menu as a side and you get a scallion salad with your steak. They have pretty classic offerings but the shrimp cocktail is what stood out. First, these are huge - so bouncy and perfectly cooked. While most are just kind of poached in salt water, these are pre-seasoned which makes them quite unique. Steaks. We've done the dry-aged cuts which they have in a case when you walk in. These are great but the "go to" has been the skirt steak. It's quite sharable for two hungry guys or three normal people. It's pre-sliced, super tender with this nice sauce they make. I typically have leftovers which go great on noodles, thrown in a fried rice or just eat it at room temp the next day. Plus I get to bring some nice bottles of wine and it's really not too much damage on your wallet. If you're in the area, you should 100% check this place out. Snapple Fact: They wholesale to a lot of your favorite KBBQ spots around town. They know their meat.

    Wet Aged Ribeye for One
    Marta T.

    Back again and can't say one bad word. That kimchi fried rice is always amazing. We haven't had a bad steak here. Service was great. We will be back.

    Shrimp cocktail, it tasted and looked like overcooked shrimp that was thrown back in the fridge..

    How can I make reservation? No one answered the phone and asked me to insert sth access code?!

    Would anyone recommend coming here for their 30th birthday dinner?

    If you plan on having a lot of people then maybe not. It's a small place and very tight seating. Maybe you should go in and see the table arrangement first. You'll definitely need to hold a reservation if you decide to go here.

The service was consistent, only once did we have to ask for refills for water. Food: we ordered the half and half raw marinated crab, bibimbap, abalone congee and fried oysters. Raw crabs: marinated and seasoned perfectly. We aren't a spicy loving family, but this was perfect amount for us that we could handle the spice. Our lips and mouths burned, but the good tingle, not the fire breathing 911 burn. lol Fried oysters: well battered and fried, nicely aromatic Abalone congee: perfectly textured and the abalone meat and taste was present. This helped offset the spiciness of the crabs. Bibimbap: not your average clay pot type, this was on a plate and with lots of green vegetables. Also delicious! The Bon chon was different and excellent. Variety of different vegetables, pickled and fermented. We enjoyed them all. FYI: there is a small parking lot as well

Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

A staffer brought over a reasonable but light sized selection of banchan (and not 100% sure how to get more after I asked and then apparently they were too busy to come back to give more). Rustic Korean look is about right - more like a bit of a drinking spot + food, and they had a section with candy ($2 each, you pay on your honor system) along with some old school video game cabinets. Located on the second floor, so take the stairs up or the elevator. The sides included some rice cake with fish cake in a sauce, scallion pajeon pancake slices, large pieces of nappa cabbage (cut later by a server rushing back), bean sprouts, some kind of mayo/egg salad, marinated broccoli, a few grilled slices of sausage meat, sliced large daikon pickles, and a few other items. The basic soup with kimchi and steamed egg was good. We ordered on the tablet and asked for water - they brought very nice cold barley tea (and they had a hot one later for my wife when we asked for that separately) - excellent on a hot day. The BBQ - they will grill it for you. We had the gas grill turned on, it was slightly tilted to let the grease runoff - the vent above. The special dry-aged pork belly was ok ($35.19), a little nutty/earthy and a bit "stinky". It was super fatty and good with the doenjang or sesame oil w/ salt. The pork short rib cuts were cooked in the kitchen and brought out on a little metal tray to keep warm, so that was immediately able to be eaten, that was marinated well, juicy, and less fatty but a small handful for ($35.19) - expected a bigger serving. We also tried the seafood pajeon - very thick, lots of scallions, some jalapeno, and only a little seafood chopped up on top. Perhaps the more traditional way - a thick layer of scallions and some batter on top, was what it felt like. The side of regular pajeon with the banchan was small and crisp and better, actually. The last dish was a shin ramen fried rice - pork fried rice mixed with a Shin Ramen and put on the grill - it was already ready to eat but the server made it into a nice little heart. Tasty mix. Went on Labor Day, so the buy 2+1 free meat wasn't applicable even though it was Monday-Friday summer deals. The check also had the 3.5% off but not the extra 5% on the tablet screen, so ended up just paying via card. I saw one group come in to try to sneak a bunch of beer they were bringing in themselves and probably left after being told they couldn't drink it or maybe there was a cork fee? The restaurant does serve alcohol. There were a number of delivery orders for pick up and people waiting on seating (it did get busy) so the one waitress was running around cooking BBQ, the manager/owner(?) was running back and forth between taking orders, making food in the kitchen, packing items, and getting folks seated, so that made some people impatient. Parking available around the corner at the Pocha restaurant or the muni lot across the street. Overall I've had better BBQ but it was a reasonable try.

    We descended like a plague of hungry locusts here a comfortable 45 min or so before Jesus Hour was…read moreup (AKA Korean church). That gave us enough time to have the place to ourselves and order literally everything they could think to serve us. This was easily one of the best KBBQ experiences I've had. The meat cuts were all perfectly marinated and grilled, from the Dry-Aged Pork Belly, to the tender Pork Jowl, to the juicy Marinated Pork Ribs. The Budae Jjigae was savory comfort, and the Shin Ramen Fried Rice was not only abundant, but served in an adorable heart shape. Even the Kimchi Stew and Gyeran-jjim were more umami than the countless counterparts I've had elsewhere. On top of that, we got more ban chan than an attention-starved halmoni hosting her first family reunion in 10 years. Everywhere I pointed my chopsticks, I touched food. It was delightful. If I can ever gather enough people, I'd gladly infest this place again.

I found out much later that the owner was the one actually serving and cooking for us. We were able to walk in with a party of ten on labor day. Super accommodating staff, owner knows what he's doing. Never caught his name unfortunately We ordered 4 different combos and dude was able to cook for all of us at the same time. Everyone left stuffed and I even had leftovers for the next day. I didn't get to eat everything but here's what I tried. The duck combo, pork combo, nayengmen (cold noodle I butchered the spelling I know sorry) and corn cheese. They don't do the brisket sauce like they do in la. Instead I think it was a mixture of miso and vinegar? With onions soaking in it. Paired perfectly with the pork. I've never had anything like it before. The thin cut pork belly was probably my favorite out of all the pork. The marinated duck combo was pretty interesting. It kinda felt like a ttkekbokki dish? But a little light on the rice cakes. The duck itself tasted like some really good charcuterie. It was a little too spicy for me but super good. We ended up opting to throw everything into the fried rice at the end and it made for some perfect late night leftovers that I'm enjoying as I write this review. Lovely place, hope they do well.

The naengmyun cold noodles hit the spot. You order and get a number and then pick up your food. The yuksu broth is full of umami and a great compliment to the meal. Great for groups who want to eat different things. Would recommend!

    Kim Ga Meon Ok is a fantastic, relatively affordable Korean spot and definitely a local favorite!…read moreThey have two locations (one in Fort Lee and this one in Palisades Park), but I usually visit the Pal Park location right across from King Sauna on Commercial Ave. The setup here is entirely self-service. You order at the front and pick up your food when it's ready. It's actually a really convenient system, and since there is no table service, there's no expectation to leave a gratuity. The food itself is consistently good. The parking lot is very, very small and shared with the cafe next door, so parking can be a squeeze. Because it's so popular, it gets very busy during prime dining hours. Even when I've ordered takeout, there can sometimes be a decent wait to get your food so I recommend order online or over the phone ahead. They do charge a little extra if you pay with a credit card to cover the fees. If you visit during the summer months, you absolutely have to try the Naeng Myeon (cold noodle soup) or the Bibim Naeng Myeon (spicy cold noodles). They really hit the spot and are incredibly refreshing. Highly recommend!

    We've been coming to Wooga for a very long time and it never disappoints. It's as authentic as you…read morecan get in the area. They rotate the banchans and we get something a little different each time we go and they're all very good. One thing that really stands out is their steamed eggs. It's fluffy, hearty, flavorful and it's always my kids' favorite. The meats are of good quality and I'm obsessed with their aged kimchi which comes with any pork order so make sure you request it. The service is great as they come and grilled the meats for you and they always grill it to perfection. The only downside side is I remembered they used to take reservations if you have a party if 7 or more but this is no longer the case. We wanted to come here for a party of 8 on the weekend and they don't take reservations on weekends so we almost never make it as a big group because there's normally a very long wait time unless you come super early. This is my go to spot for Korean bbq and I think price is reasonable compared to other options considering the high quality of the food they offer. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic experience.

    I've had Wooga bookmarked for the longest time because of the grilled oxtail, and finally had a…read morechance to come try it! I've never had grilled oxtail before, or seen it on any other KBBQ menus, so this was an absolute must for me. Wooga is legit - authentic, service is phenomenal & attentive, and the interior is cozy but relatively well ventilated. We waited about 15 mins on a Sunday night for a party of 2. True to my over ordering tendencies, I ordered the oxtail, the small beef set, and a small naengmyun. This was SO much food. The grilled oxtail was definitely an interesting experience. It still has all of the richness & fattiness, but the little crispiness from the grilling also makes it a really addicting texture. It was admittedly a little hard to eat with the bone pieces and with it being scorching hot, but I would get this again. The beef from the set was good, but we were struggling to finish. Each set also came with a steamed egg and kimchi stew, and there's always just something about KBBQ kimchi stews that slaps. The naengmyun was decent, not the best I've had but okay. Service here though deserves 5 stars. I accidentally dropped kimchi juice on my dress, and the waiter gave me a stain remover immediately. We never ran low on water, banchan, or sauces, and all meats were cooked to our liking. Parking is available to the side of the restaurant. Will definitely be back!

    My out-of-town friend was looking for a Korean breakfast spot, and she found Onga. It happened to…read morebe the perfect meeting point between where I live and where she was staying in New Jersey. We arrived around 8:50 a.m., and the restaurant was already packed, which is always a good sign. Luckily, two tables opened up just as I got there, allowing my group of three and my friend's group of five to be seated. Even though my friend was still about eight minutes away, the staff was kind enough to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. Every bowl was a hit. The kids enjoyed their beef soups, while the adults ordered the beef knee soup, with one person choosing the spicy beef soup. Each soup came with cooked sticky purple rice, a few noodles in the broth, and classic Korean side dishes like kimchi that rounded out the meal perfectly. The service was phenomenal from beginning to end. Despite how busy they were, the staff remained friendly, attentive, and efficient. The prices were also very reasonable, especially for the quality and generous portions. The only downside for me is that I'd have to cross a bridge to get there, otherwise I'd be a regular. If you're looking for delicious authentic Korean comfort food, open 24 hours, Onga is absolutely worth the visit.

    Honestly, I don't understand the hype. Nothing about this restaurant stands out compared with the…read moremany other places in town. The food was just OK, the meat was mediocre, and there was nothing memorable about the meal. The only thing that seems to stand out is the morning special price, which attracts bargain diners and makes the place extremely crowded. Otherwise, there's really NOTHING special here. For regular hour dining, there are plenty of other restaurants in town that offer much better food and quality for the money.
