The shrimp filled tofu and fish sandwich were great with the plethora of veggies I grabbed. Opted for the seafood broth, and loaded it up with mushrooms galore at the beginning. The umami at the end was divine. Service was attentive, and easy going. I think the staff were impressed with the 5 plates of veg I brought back just for myself. The closing dessert of mango sorbet (which had a peach granita and cut up mango) is the highlight of it all.

It leans more towards a social, all-you-can-eat experience than quiet dinner. This was my first hot pot experience so to be fair I don't have anything to compare it to-- but I was genuinely impressed by both the quality and the quantity of the food. The selection is huge: meats, seafood, vegetables, noodles, dumplings... Everything looked fresh. Also the broth selection is a highlight-- clean, flavorful and customizable depending on your mood (light, spicy or rich). That said, it is a little overwhelming at first, if you've never done hot pot before. Building your whole meal from scratch with so many options can feel a bit confusing. But once you get the hang of it, it actually becomes part of the fun. The staff were helpful and polite. They explain the process well for first-timers. Don't skip the mango sorbet!

If you decide to not get any meat and just get the broth, it's even MORE bang for your buck. The service is great as well. You just pay for the broth and meat (if you decide to get some), and then you're free to get anything you want from the buffet, as much as you want. The veggies are delicious, all the different meats are amazing, and all the little things you can add to your broth just make the whole experience so enjoyable! To top it off, as you leave, you're allowed to help yourself to some free frozen yogurt. This place truly covers all the bases you could think of. I would recommend ShabuRo to literally everyone. If you're looking for some place to get hot pot, this is the place!

Every time we have family visit from out of town, we like to bring them here and share one of our favorite spots, and people always walk away raving about how good it is there.

We don't know their names, but their familiar faces always greet us so kindly when we walk in. It feels like they've even watched our kids grow in the last 6 years we've been going. The owner always makes it a point to say hi when he sees us. Must try! Love, love this place!

I remember when Wok Bar had first opened, this was before COVID but I'm glad they're still going strong. Not too much has changed, it's still self-service with a good selection and by the pound. What I like about Wok Bar is how clean everything tastes. Not nearly as greasy as most of the ones you'll find in Flushing or Manhattan. The spice can also get actually spicy as well. On my most recent visit, the meatballs in the vegetable section were really good! You also get a complimentary ice cream at the end to help tame the heat.

The staff was super friendly and greeted us right away. They helped explain the price and process before we got started. All if the options looked super crisp and fresh. The area was very clean.

The complimentary little icecream at the end was a nice touch too. Overall very pleased and will definitely come back!

I like that for $3, you can get their split broth. I also like that they have beef broths available, instead of just pork or dashi. Service is quick, you have to place your meat orders with the staff. The rest of the items like noodles, fish cakes, and vegetables are self serve from the buffet. Dessert options include chocolate/vanilla ice cream, as well as some pastries. I especially liked their rice cake type pastry, which they even allowed me to take home! It's only street parking, and the place is smaller, but I'd go back.

Our party of five got there just before 1, and it was pretty empty except for a few tables. AYCE for weekday lunch with meat/seafood is $28.99. They also have some sushi (not very good because it's packed with rice), and a few cooked items as well. For meat, the waitress suggested the brisket and top blade (which are non-fatty), and it didn't disappoint. We also ordered fatty beef and lamb, which were good as well. The beef wasn't overly fatty, and the lamb didn't have that gamey taste that it can sometimes have. As for all the non-meat/seafood items, they are all self-serve. They've got a good selection of veggies, fish balls, and noodles. The sauce station was also good, and had everything you might want. For dessert, they have melona bars. Could have been nice if they had a soft serve machine. I wouldn't mind coming back during a dinner service to see if they have any expanded menu items available.

We like the korean spots, too, and those are everywhere, but we always crave that other spicy with spices kick. If you like spicy food, you'll LOVE their spicy soups, but be warned: start with the lowest spicy level and cautiously work your way up. We like the use of their food ordering tablet, which makes ordering easy bc the list of items can get extensive; you'll want a variety of everything to cook away in your soup. They have the option of two and three soups in one cauldron. We always get two soups: one spicy and one non-spicy. Then, we order lots of different veggies and our protein of choice is always the ribeye. They have different kinds of the non-spicy soups and they're all really good. The sauce station isn't too big like some other places, but it has everything you need to make a good personal sauce. Service is always great and attentive. They even swoop in with a hair tie and aprons before you go in on your feast. We always leave so full and so satisfied. Would definitely recommend shoo loong kan if you're craving non-korean style hotpot. Note: You can park in the garage that it's in the plaza building and they'll validate your garage ticket.

We came right when they opened, so we got a table right away. The interior was nice, bright and colorful, with lots of decor. We found they charge the full amount, $42, for kids too. We ordered the three-flavor soups, among which the red one was super spicy, the golden one was the best and the mushroom one was more like plain. Most other items including meat and seafood were included in the AYCE deal. All ordering took place from a tablet, so that was convenient. They also had a sauce station and another station with veggies, fishballs, and tripes. Most of the ingredients we ordered tasted fine to me. But it was a lot of work to constantly order items, cook them, prepare them with sauce and then eat them. It was exhausting!!! The service was decent overall. They were cleaning the empty dishes from the table time to time. I liked that each table had a dedicated tray of plates, utensils and water pitcher. Overall it was a nice hot pot soot, but super pricey and the service didn't match up to the cost of dining there.

We were recommended by a friend and there was no disappointment. The only downside is there isn't enough stomach space. The food was so delicious, from the complimentary sides to extremely crispy seafood pancake to the jeongols. I was surprised how flavorful Suyuk Jeongols(Beef and tendon with clear broth and vegetables). I was so surprised because my 20 month old is extremely picky and refuses to try new food and he absolutely loved it. Greatly recommendation from the kind waitress that recommended us the dishes. So many people were ordering the Jokbal, unfortunately with what we ordered we were already so full which I'm so excited to try for the next time. The service was excellent. The parking lot is $5 for 3 but when you eat here make sure to get your parking ticket scanned so it would be free.

We got the gamjatang, along with jokbal (족발) and bossam (보쌈). The gamjatang was definitely the highlight. The broth was flavorful and comforting, with plenty of vegetables and pork. If you're a fan of gamjatang, this is a really good spot for it. The jokbal and bossam both had great flavor, but the meat was a little chewier than I expected. I personally prefer both to be more tender, especially the bossam. Still tasted great, just slightly off on the texture for me. Service was probably the weakest part of the experience. It was a little difficult getting someone's attention, and we had to flag down a waiter when we needed something. Overall, the flavors were on point and I'd come back for the gamjatang. With slightly more tender pork and more attentive service, this would've easily been a 5.

Our waitress was nice enough when she took our order, but we never saw her again after that. We sat with empty water glasses until we finally flagged down a busser for refills. Meanwhile, the manager stood at the POS for about 15 minutes doing nothing. If a table clearly looks unhappy, with most of their food untouched, it would go a long way to stop by and ask if everything's okay. As far as I could tell, the only time the manager left his spot was to drop off checks and collect payment. He walked past our table three times while we were obviously done eating (one of us even gave up and went to wait in the car). When he finally brought the checks, he didn't ask if we wanted to box anything up. We had to ask for boxes ourselves, and he just dropped them off and left us to pour our ramen into them. Decent food, but the service made the whole experience frustrating

ShangHai Restaurant+ZhangLiang Spicy Hot Pot 张亮麻辣烫 Fort Lee, New Jersey…read more One of my favorite local spots for authentic Chinese comfort food just got a new twist. Located in the heart of Fort Lee, this longtime favorite recently changed hands and expanded into ZhangLiang Malatang (张亮麻辣烫) and hot pot. While I absolutely love hot pot, I still have a hard time passing up the classics that remind me of the food I enjoyed in China. The Shanghai soup dumplings 小笼包 were exactly what I was craving, along with beautifully sautéed bok choy 青菜, and a comforting bowl of wonton noodle soup 馄饨面. Everything was washed down with a refreshing sour plum drink 酸梅汤, a perfect balance to the meal. What I especially appreciate here is that the menu feels much closer to the Chinese food I actually experienced in China rather than the Americanized version many of us grew up with. 好吃! Delicious, comforting, and definitely worth a visit when you're in Fort Lee. 493 Main Street, Fort Lee, NJ

I love the banchan as well, and my favorite is the edamame, which I think or flavored with miso butter?? - Pork Cutlet set, (4.5/5): got curry on the side as extra for $5, because it doesn't feel right to have tonkatsu without curry! The cutlet itself was fried very well, and it was not oily at all. it was on the sliiightly drier side, but I recommend getting it with the curry - Yuzu Cheesecake, (3.75/5): can taste the yuzu here, but the texture itself was a bit crumby, and I prefer a creamier texture. the serving size was also a bit small, and we felt that the strawberry didn't really pair well with the cheesecake overall I would come here again to try their other menu items!

I ordered the Unagi Don Gozen ($42)- it came with a whole tray of different delicious items, with the star of the show being a generous amount of unagi (eel) over rice. The eel was cooked very well and the rice was flavorful with a bit of sweetness. There was also a small bowl of udon noodles, some sashimi, a crispy tempura shrimp in a yummy creamy sauce, flavorful edamame, mashed potato with corn, and some pickled veggies - quite the diverse array, all of which was tasty. The restaurant itself has a rather simple yet elegant Japanese wooden design. The prices suggest it's a more high end place, but the vibe is actually rather casual. The staff are very attentive and the service speed is pretty quick. Overall, I would definitely give Moru 4.5 stars if I could. I think it's great for most types of occasions, and the only reasons it's not getting 5 stars is because I do think the prices are a tad higher than I would've hoped and I think they could've done a bit more in terms of designing the place to match the price point. That being said, I still highly recommend Moru, especially for a nice lunch.
