There is a reason why this place is my go to place for OG Korean food. Authentic, flavorful, genuine and generous; they serve some of the best food in the area. There is always a wait, and clientele is a mix of older Korean looking for taste of home (like me) and new younger crowd who knows a good thing when they taste it. We ordered, pigs feet (everyone gets it, it's their signature dish), pork neck casserole (they don't skimp, lots of meat chunks and good flavors from wild sesame), bone broth soup/grilled fish combo (also a crowd favorite) and bulgogi in broth (it pleased our finicky eater, and they served a lot of meat instead of fillers). Kimchi sides were a mix of aged deep/sour kind (right up my alley). As for other comments about the 'bland' bone broth, it's supposed to be bland and they give you a number of condiments to suit your taste. It's BYOB, so bring your beer soju or somaks and join the crowd. Priced fair and with generous portions. We will be back again. read more

We parked at a metered street parking spot. Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately bothered by an unpleasant pork odor. In the corners of the dining room, there were large nets of onions, boxes of napa cabbage, dish collection trays, tin cans, and oversized plastic bags of MSG, giving the impression that little attention was paid to the atmosphere. Three types of kimchi were served, but they were overly fermented--too sour and somewhat sticky. Nevertheless, I did enjoy the gamjatang, my favorite dish, which was satisfying. However, my wife was disappointed with her sundae gukbap due to the poor quality of the sundae and the lingering pork odor. We had high expectations based on the strong reviews on Yelp, but ultimately decided not to return. read more

No frills, meals come out HOT and you'll be full and satisfied. This is a my "I don't want to cook at home but I want a piping hot home cooked meal" spot and it should be yours too. 10/10. Service is fast, water service is consistent, ask for plenty of napkins if you can't handle too much spice like me. Cheers! read more

Sa Rit Gol - Gamjatang / spicy pork rib soup with potatoes - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Quick service and authentic food not overly salty foods. I appreciate that they let the customer add their own preferred salt. They have salt and pepper on each table. The grilled mackerel is the best I've ever had. It was perfectly grilled and not fishy at all. The bibimbap was generous and had nice veggies. I love that they serve iced barley tea instead of water. Plenty of indoor seating. This is my new favorite restaurant in fort Lee! read more

This is probably one of my favorite No-Frills Korean restaurants in the area. The portions are big and the price is very fair. When it comes to banchan, it's just three different forms of quiche, but it does the job. We ordered the two different types of bulgogi, bibimbap, and gamjatang. It was more than enough for a group of six. This place is also BYOB so feel free to bring a bottle or two to enjoy with your food. read more

I guess this is good because it is always crowded but my beef bone soup was very bland. The brisket was good with the dipping sauce. My Korean friend said this is authentic Korean food. I think BCD Tofu House and Meyongdong Noodle are more suited for American tastes. However, their boricha (barley tea) has me so obsessed that I have been searching Amazon and Hmart for the same exact tea. The tea here is everything. read more

I've been here so many times I've lost count. I love this place - especially their suyook and their gamjatang. However, in the past 2 years, even when I arrive at 530pm vs 8pm, they are almost always out of gamjatang. It's super confusing; at first I thought the issue was me arriving late but clearly that isn't the case since I've tried arriving early - the most recent time I brought my friend from out of town, the waiter told us they were on their last bowl so we had to order other items. Later when we were halfway through our meal, they served several new tables that just sat down big bowls of gamjatang. So while I stand by their food taste, I can't help but feel disappointed when I drive 50 minutes in to be told there is no more gamjatang, and then see it served to others. This has happened multiple times. Not sure if they have a system of reserving to specific groups or they favor Korean groups over others, but I hope it improves in the near future. Also note that they don't sell suyook until after 4pm! We learned the hard way again, lol. read more

Came here for dinner around 8:30pm on Saturday. The restaurant was packed but we got seated fairly quickly. The server and host were very kind and welcoming. They have a sign at the door saying to not park on the side because you will get towed, so beware of that. I was honestly was unsure what to rate this restaurant. The bonchon included 3 little dishes of kimchi and radish. We ordered the Bibimbap and the dduk bae bi bulgogi. I would rate the bibimbap a 3/5 - there was little meat and it lacked flavor. I was disappointed as this is my usual go to dish. The dish was full of vegetables. The dduk bae bi bulgogi was my favorite- it was fully of flavor - I couldn't get an enough of it. If I were to come back, I would get that again. I would be open to trying the soups as that is what people seem to love. read more

Sa Rit Gol - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Don't pass up this bare bones, no frills spot if you like Traditional Korean food. The place is always busy, so expect to wait; but only for a little while. Sometimes, they'll seat two or three groups at one large table. Having not been in a long while, we decided to stop in for an early dinner on a cold Saturday night. The place hasn't changed much, and YES..,it was busy as ever. Staff is the same and they have one mission: To get you seated, fed and on your way. We ordered Gam Ju Tang {Spicy Pork Rib Soup w/Potato} and Dduk Gae Bi Bul Go Gi {Sliced Beef Tenderloin in Hot Steamed Pot} Both came with a side of rice and both were excellent. Very filling. The vast menu will have you keep coming back, without running out of choices. read more

Incredible Korean food! We came on a weekday so it wasn't too busy. The banchan were plentiful. The tofu soup we order was super flavorful. We were craving a bibimbap and the one they serve is served on a platter not in a bowl. It was delicious and beautiful. The service was efficient. There is no parking for this restaurant and many signs to not park in the parking lot. We were able to find some street parking nearby. read more

Love this korean restaurant in Fort Lee. They do every dish well and have very generous portions. We got the dakdoritang and gamjatang (both $16.99) and both were full of flavor with tender meat that falls off the bone. It's extremely comforting and the best way to beat the cold. There may be a bit of a wait especially on weekends, but the staff move quickly and it's very spacious. Overall, definitely worth coming to when you're in Fort Lee! read more

Sa Rit Gol is a no frills, just good food restaurant. Everything is homey and cozy and nourishing. We were a group of 3 and ordered the ox tail bone broth, steamed pork feet, blood sausage, grilled mackerel, and sundubu. Every dish was simple in the best way. They provided various salts, shrimp paste, sauces, etc. to accompany their respective dishes. We arrived on the later side of a busy lunch hour (2pm) and there was still a constant flow of parties coming in while we were dining. read more

Such a yummy Korean spot and a hidden gem in Fort Lee! Both the sul lung tang and gamjatang were hearty and perfect for a cold day. I got the mixed sul lung tang and grilled mackerel combo--so so good! The fish was perfectly grilled with tender meat and no fishy taste, and the soo yuk ordered to share was melt-in-your-mouth soft. FYI, if you already know you want the gamjatang, order this immediately once you sit town because they can run out (yes it is that GOOD!)!! The place is small, so expect a short wait. Street parking only; the owners advise to not park in the lot next door, as they do tow! read more

So homey and the flavors taste authentic and flavorful! Prices are amazing for the portions you get. Very different vibe from the upscale Korean in NYC that you won't find in the city. If you are coming from the city, the price to food ratio is so much better so be careful about over ordering haha. We left feeling very full but very satisfied! read more

The soft tofu stew at Sa Rit Go is awesome. It's hot, flavorful, and the tofu is super soft, just melts in your mouth. The spice hits in the right way, and with all the banchan on the side, it's a really satisfying meal. Note that parking is hard to find and there's a wait on weekends. read more

Sa Rit Gol - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

This place is AMAZING, let me say again: AMAZING. Easy ordering recommendation: Order the most popular dishes in the house: Blood sausage, pork feet, grilled mackerel, soup and other. The popular dishes are usually shown in the wall, in spite of how they look, you should order them because they are all DELISH. I've tried them all and they did NOT disappoint. I'd greatly recommend this place and its dishes. A con of this place i'd say is the parking: street parking and a bit limited in Fort Lee. Other than that, everything is awesome : ) read more

Sa Rit Gol - Sul Lung Tang - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Weekday lunch was busy. Had a wait a bit. Lunch crowds moves fast. They had a decent variety in the menu. The food is really great. Their khichmi was good. Small place. But efficient service. Staff works like clockwork. read more

Soondae (Korean blood sausage) is one of my favorites so I had to get it as my first meal in Jersey. It was slightly less chewy than I remember, but still had that flavor that I was craving and went really well with their spiced salt! The gamjatang (pork bone stew) is definitely a must here as well, and it comes with huge chunks of meat on the bone. It takes some finesse to get all the meat off the bone but once it's done, you can enjoy the meat in the spicy stew, alongside veggies like cabbage and scallions. The hangover ramen was also a good choice, with slices of meat and intestine, which elevated the ramen to the next level. Their assorted kimchi is really good, and they also had marinated raw squid, which is one of my favorite banchan! It can get crowded during peak times during the evening so I recommend going earlier in the day if you can. Service is just okay since they do get busy so they aren't as attentive. Parking can also be tricky since street parking or limited spots in the lots are available as first come first serve. read more

Absolutely delicious! We have added this restaurant to our regular restaurants list because of the quality of the food. A very clean and delicious place to visit for a healthy dinner. Most of the dishes contain beef or pork. My go to is their grilled fish. Everything is packed with flavor and being able to have a hot tea with dinner is the best. I do not believe they have dessert on their menu. They are also BYOB. *Be warned, whatever jacket you wear will smell like the delicious food for a couple of days* read more

The beef soup was excellent. The only downside is that parking can be a bit inconvenient.

Sa Rit Gol is a traditional Korean restaurant and you can expect any dish you get here to be really good. I personally LOVE their soups here especially the soondae gukbap. This place is perfect if you're hungover as they have the perfect soups and broths that will wake you up! The kimchi and banchan here were so good also. The restaurant is a bit tight and small and parking is hard because it's Fort Lee but it's worth trying to make the trek down because the broth will really "wow" you. read more

Sa Rit Gol - Soondae Gukbap - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Sa Rit Gol is one of the many tasty Korean spots in Fort Lee! We came here for Sun-Dae but turned out it already sold out for the day (but that's okay that means I get to come back again lol) The waiters are attentive and from the interior it looks like the restaurant definitely has been there for awhile! Food: 5/5 - we ordered the combo with Sul Lung Tang and Grilled Mackerel. Their soup came unflavored so you are expected to season it yourself with salt & pepper that's on the table. - the mackerel was cooked really well - it was still juicy and that portion size is quite large :) - we also order the steamed pork feet! It was so soft and tasty - I feel like I definitely got the collagen boost from this meal :D Overall, Sa Rit Gol is definitely the spot to go if you are looking for good Korean food in the area. I'll be sure to come back and get my sun-dae next time hehe read more

The tofu soup is so delicious, one of the best! I have tried many different Korean restaurants in Flushing, Manhattan, and NJ.

Came to Sa Rit Gol on a random weekday for lunch without a reservation and was seated immediately. Heard a lot of great things about this restaurant and it was my first time here and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was pretty cozy, smaller than I expected but clean and organized. The servers were helpful and very efficient. I got the chicken potato stew, as recommended by the server. I did not have high expectations for chicken but honestly it was so good! The stew was full of flavor, the chicken was tender, and the potatoes were so well cooked. I also got the mackerel and could not believe how good the price was for an almost full mackerel, which was of course also delicious. There were so many other things worth trying on the menu and I will definitely be going back! read more

It was a really cold night that's perfect for soup. We decided to visit Sa Rit Gol for to the high record of their stews. We walked in and it's a simple place with white walls and picture menu on the wall. We were immediately seated since it was start of dinner time. The menu is on the table as placemat. Very quickly the server brought tea and banchans (side dishes) to the table. The waiter came to take our orders. We decided ox bone soup with brisket & spicy pork bone soup. Both came quickly in boiling clay pots. The first taste of broth will tell you that it's been simmered for hours. The meat melts in your mouth and the flavor of the soup is with depth and spices. It is heart warming and highly recommended. Would definitely go back and try other items!! read more

It's a casual k-restaurant. I have been here twice in the last two weeks, and food tastes consistently good.

Some boxes and containers are all over the restaurant, but food is good - 3/5 This will be my go to place for Ox bone soup in NJ. read more

A small restaurant that gets busy - a few different dishes focused on the ox bone soups, and the specialty of the pork feet. Small banchan of three types - spicy nappa kimchee, spicy green daikon, and spicy sweet cubes of daikon. They were ok, all spicy, though. Ox bone soup w/ sliced beef brisket (cha dol sul lung tang) was good; a lot of scallions and rice broth. Pretty solid. The grilled spicy pork was good - spicy, but delicious mix of spicy and sweet heat. Hot bowl, though. The steamed pork feet came on an unstable holder (almost fell off and burnt a few since the pork feet sticks to the pan). Overall the dish was good, but a little on the bland side. Sauces are needed to enjoy it properly. Also they were out of bi bim bap. No idea how that happens when the restaurant has so few items on the menu. So I'll put it as could've been better - because it could have been. Service was absent most of the meal. We were sitting in a side alcove which fit 7 of us, but they constantly didn't check in on us for tea, water, or anything. Service I had to go get from the guys just standing there more than three times, and that's just poor service for us. read more

Perfect spot for a homey/soupy meal after a long day of snowboarding! My group ordered 3 different soups and the boiled pork.

A bunch of other tables around us got the steamed pork feet, which I would love to come back and try. read more

If you're looking for a casual place to satisfy a Korean soup craving, this is the one! There are a bunch of soupy options on the menu to choose from as well as other traditional meat dishes. For 3 of us, we each ordered a soup and the boiled pork dish to share. The soups came out of the kitchen bubbling hot with a side of rice, the food was overall tasty and the banchan was spicy. It was definitely a cozy meal for a cold winter night. We came in around 8pm and they let us know the kitchen was closing soon (I think around 8:30) but the service was still quick and efficient. They were out of a few items at that time (including the gam ja tang that I was eying), but I'll just have to come back to try! Tip: You mostly have to park on the street to eat here unless Bank of America is closed, then you can park there. read more

A must-stop Korean fair for some of the best pork and Sundae. We came to Sa Rit Gol after a long upstate hike and were prepared to try nearly half the menu across our group. We had most of the Korean staples such as boiled pork, Sundae, spicy kalguksu, bulgogi, and galbi. Most main dishes came with a large portion of mackerel too to make sure we didn't leave hungry. Each dish was amazing--nothing was too savory or salty as can be the case with many Korean places across NYC. We found the sauces with the boiled pork to be one of the best, and the Sundae pleasant to even those who typically don't like it! Everything is priced really well for Fort Lee too, much better than typical midtown Ktown prices. The only issue is trying to get a table during the busy dinner hour or on the weekend. Its a popular stopover point for those coming back into the city from a long day/weekend trip. read more

A fantastic spot that really hit my craving for some Korean soup. The complementary kimchi banchan (3 different kinds!) were tasty and differing in texture and flavors. The soup came sizzling hot and is HUGE in size. I came for lunch with a friend and couldn't finish it. Luckily, they offer to go cartons to take your leftover soups home. It was pretty much 2 meals for $17... pretty hard to beat! Service was great - the staff were quick and attentive. Decor is what you'd expect from a no thrills spot too - pictures of the top dishes were plastered over the walls with their names (which I really appreciated!) and menus were pre-placed at each seat (paper menus). I highly recommend and would definitely come back read more
