We've been coming to Wooga for a very long time and it never disappoints. It's as authentic as you can 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. read more

I've had Wooga bookmarked for the longest time because of the grilled oxtail, and finally had a chance 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! read more

We got the beef combo, which came with 3 different meat options, a steamed egg, and a kimchi soup -- great value and variety for the price. The meat was fresh and tender, and grilled up beautifully alongside some mushrooms, garlic, and daikon on the tabletop grill. Loved that they threw in fresh herbs (rosemary/thyme) on the meat too -- nice touch. Banchan was plentiful and kept coming, so you're never short on sides. For dipping, you get a choice of garlic scallion sauce, soybean paste (ssamjang), or just salt -- all solid options depending on what you're grilling. Service was attentive and quick to help with the grill and refills without being intrusive. The restaurant has a big dedicated parking lot, which made getting in and out so much easier. Will definitely be back to try out the intestine options. read more

Ooooh, it's been awhile since my last review. After 4 years, I still love Wooga but those "$$$$" on the their Yelp page keeps me from eating here more often. This time around, it's a stronger 5 out of 5 because of our waiter was amazing. Ugh, I can't remember his name. He was on top of everything and making sure our food was grilled in a timely manner. He was quick to follow up with orders/requests that didn't come through when the kitchen didn't bring them out. Usually my gripe or disclaimer I give to people is that Wooga is great at everything except wrapping up things on the end. In the past, whenever I went, it would take forever (!!!!!) to get our check and pay. It was so frustrating but this time around, it was a bit faster. It's a win-win situation because we get to pay and leave and the restaurant has another table for customers. Though on the pricier side, Wooga does check off all the boxes of: -amazing meat quality -amazing & attentive service -they don't skimp on banchans (side dishes that I heard other restaurants are starting to limit) -several meat combo options -best Korean steamed egg in the North Jersey area We tried the thinly sliced oxtails, which were really good but pretty pricey for $38cash/$39.90card for 11oz of it. There are some things that are inconvenient (long waits, very small parking lot) but it's easy to overlook them once you have a meal at Wooga. Things to know before you go: -Their menu is updated on their website if you want to check that out before you go. -The earlier you go, the better your chance of being seated quickly. Weekends are definitely a longer wait, so plan ahead. -Their parking lot is small so it fills up super quickly, so you'll have to park across the street and play Frogger (maybe you might be too young to know this reference?) to cross the 4 lanes of Palisade Ave. -When you arrive, make sure to check in with the host/hostess so that you could get a pager to know when your table is ready. Your turn can come pretty fast sometimes depending on the timing. read more

Ate here a few times since my last review and it's definitely the best kbbq in the area. It is pricey but it's good value. You get a lot of food and the food is delicious and the meat is high quality. The service is always fantastic. We had a big party and were seated right away on a weekend. The waiter was patient and they were thoughtful of the 3 kids in our party, bringing utensils and plates for them. I think of Wooga often. It's so yummy. But if you want to gauge price a little, we went with 4 adults, 3 kids and ordered japchae (glass noodles), kimchi pajeon (pancake), 2 bottles of soju, drinks, a meat set that came with soup, 2 types of pork and 2 types of beef and it came out to about $350, tip included. If you're on the fence about coming, definitely come. read more

Cuisine: 8 Service: 8 Decor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Korean BBQ is always good, as was the e beef and pork at this restaurant. The USDA Prime Rib Finger and Pork Shoulder were both delicious, but I think what makes this Korean BBQ restaurant shine is their accompaniments. That was clear when the Egg Custard came and we devoured it immediately. So fluffy, very eggy, and extremely smooth. In other words, maybe the best version I have had along with Nubiani. The banchans and stews were wonderful too. I know they have a Midtown location, but I still have not been to that branch yet. I hope its quality and service matches this location. I'll check it out soon. read more

I've been wanting to go to this place for a really long time. They've since opened up 2 locations in NYC but I believe this one in NJ is their original location. They do not take reservations, but we were willing to wait because they have a parking lot so we just waited in the car. We waited for about 30 minutes and the food was very worth the wait!! It was so delicious. We got the beef combo for 2 and the beef bibimbap. The place looks very modern and we really enjoyed our meal here. We will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I went to Wooga last week with a group of friends. It isn't all-you-can-eat (AYCE) like a lot of other KBBQ spots so naturally the price is higher if you're trying to eat the same amount of meat. Wooga does offer preset packages to make ordering easier but you can also order different meats a la carte. The meat quality is slightly higher than AYCE spots but if you're trying to eat a bunch the cost adds up quickly. Service is good and friendly. I'd come back, but I prefer AYCE spots. read more

Nice place for korean BBQ. It's got lots of protein choices to choose for. The waiters will help cook, cut, and handle the bbq. Their help is truly helpful and without them food wouldn't taste good. They don't take reservations and its mostly come in and wait time could go for at most 30 mins, in my experience. They also have a parking lot available with plenty of space available. Its definitely an amazing place to come for food and hangout read more

Wooga might just be the king of Korean BBQ in NJ I've been to plenty of Korean BBQ spots -- even in South Korea and across the US -- and Wooga is definitely up there with the best. I'm not a huge spender, but the portions here were so generous that even after ordering a modest amount, it felt like a feast! We got the small pork set for 2 and a beef brisket for my wife,kids and it was more than enough for the four of us (two adults + two kids). The food was delicious, fresh. Our server wasn't super chatty, but he was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Honestly, I can't believe I've lived in this area this long and hadn't tried this place sooner. Wooga officially holds the NJ Korean BBQ crown. read more

Love the quality of the food here. I've been twice and while it's pricey, the meat itself is absolutely worth it. That said, the service is very bland and not particularly friendly. But WHAT ultimately pushed me to write this review--and why I won't be returning--is the excessive use of disinfectant. While we were actively eating, staff repeatedly sprayed strong disinfectant on nearby tables, to the point where everyone at our table felt like we were inhaling chemicals while trying to enjoy our meal. I understand cleanliness, but there's a time and place. Please be more mindful and respectful of guests who are in the middle of eating your otherwise great food. read more

- Service: Fast and friendly staff. - Ambiance: Pretty small restaurant. Nice and clean. - Food: Wooga is my most favorite Korean BBQ spot in New Jersey. The meat quality is just top-notch. Our server helps us cook the meat so all we need to do is just eat and enjoy. Their banchan (small plates) are also pretty good too. + Japchae is a bit too sweet and bacon kimchi fried rice is a bit too salty for my taste. It's definitely leaning on the pricey side but with the service and the meat quality, they're totally worth it. They do have some discount if you pay by cash! Will come back and recommend it to anyone! read more

(Would Give -5 Stars If Possible) VERY RACIST This was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've ever had. My family and I waited over 1 hour and 15 minutes to be seated. During that time, we watched an Asian family who arrived after us get seated before us. To make matters worse, we were initially told we would have a table, only to have that table taken away and given to someone else. The entire situation left us feeling ignored, disrespected, and unwelcome. My father-in-law is Hispanic and openly gay, and based on how we were treated compared to other customers, it felt like we were being discriminated against. Whether intentional or not, the experience was humiliating and unacceptable. After waiting that long and being treated this way, we left extremely disappointed. Customer service should be fair and respectful to everyone. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here, and we will not be returning. read more

I absolutely love this place. The deal was unbeatable, they had beef for two for about $100 which is a steal. It came with all of the sides which were fresh, and included two soups. I loved the marinated steak with pineapple, very unique especially with the fresh kimchi. They didn't take reservations but the wait time was under 10 minutes, and we were served very quickly. Will definitely be going back to try the waygu steak! Pharmacist approved! read more

Tonight we had authentic Korean BBQ at Wooga. The food was fresh and delicious. We chose the option for dinner for five from the menu - it was just the perfect amount for us five. Staff was attentive, readily available to let us know what food was about to be served, including the meats being flipped a few times before it was ready to serve. Staff was helpful, drinks were constantly checked and refilled, Wooga lives up to its dining expectations. read more

We frequent Wooga at least once a month so I feel compelled to write another review for this incredible restaurant since they recently did some renovations and re-opened. Staff is super friendly and restaurant is clean. We always opt for the beef for 2 (or 4 if we're dining with friends)- always great! We especially love the marinated short rib and skirt steak. We usually also add another side like the veggie fried rice, beef noodles, or spicy octopus noodles (trust me and try it)! We like the tofu stew a lot and usually get the egg side as well. If you need additional y recommendations, definitely ask the staff. Give them a try you will not be disappointed! read more

The beef was marbled and everything tasted delicious! I especially loved the steamed egg and was surprised by how tall it was (A+ on presentation). The service was great and we didn't touch the meat once since our server was grilling for us. He also asked how well we wanted our meat cooked which we appreciated since not all places do that. We came at 6pm on a Sat night for 2 ppl and waited around 20-30 minutes which isn't too bad! Would recommend this place. read more

Wooga's is hands down the best Korean BBQ spot in New Jersey. They serve high-quality meat, and their kimchi pajeon is delicious--though a bit overpriced for the small portion (only four pieces). Each meal comes with egg custard, plus your choice of soybean stew or kimchi jjigae. The soybean stew is especially tasty. Their marinated short ribs are the juiciest I've ever had. I always come here for special occasions. The service is quick, and the staff are attentive and skilled at grilling the meat right at your table. read more

This is hands down the best Korean BBQ in New Jersey. The staff expertly cooks high-quality cuts of meat tableside, including an impressive selection featuring dry-aged Wagyu. Each type of meat is prepared with care, and they thoughtfully change the grill between cuts to preserve flavor. The kimchi fried rice was also outstanding--full of flavor and perfectly balanced. Service was attentive and professional throughout. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, though it could be more refined considering the price point. read more

I always wanted to go there. As everyone says...the meat is awesome but everything else is subpar. Dumplings -terrible. Fried chicken-tasteless. When you have kids. They don't want to only eat the meat. I guess since we are not Korean we didn't get all the things the Korean people got -lettuce and scallion in those baskets. Hot pepper sauce. Refill on the sides. I have been to a lot of Korean bbq places both in FL and NYC so I know what to expect. Servers there were not rude-they seem to be working in automatic. No personality, no care. No thank you and good night. read more

Amazing authentic and reasonably priced bbq. Steamed egg, soybean soup, kimchi soup, lots of delicious sides, and all the bbq trimmings (sam jang, salt, soy, mushroom, rice cake, lettuce leaves). Bar menu. Seafood pancake. Ask for rice, but you won't need it. And truffle fries. read more

My first time here, loved everything about it. Food was delicious, service was great.

The food was good, and the kitchen staff were attentive. The only downside was the service from our server. He seemed like he didn't want to be there and answered our questions as if we should have already known the answers. His tone felt condescending, and he came across as talking down to us. I was dining with other adults, and I honestly had secondhand embarrassment because the service was that bad lol. read more

I came here on a Friday evening at 6:30PM and wasn't surprised to see the restaurant already hustling and bustling! My party of four had to wait around 15 mins before getting seated. We ordered the WOOGA special for five which included the prime rib eye, short rib, hanger steak, rib finger, pork shoulder, belly, and jowl. This also included four sides total, so we opted for the kimchi soup and the steamed eggs. The bonchon was also tasty and had plenty of variety! The service was great as they cooked the meat for us and were very attentive. If your group has an appetite like mine, the special for five is actually perfect for four people. The pork towards the end was also very fatty which wasn't our taste, but that's just nitpicking at this point. The price point is on the higher end, but for the quality of meat, it's worth it once in awhile. I'd love to come back! read more

Be prepared to wait for a table on the weekend. It gets packed and the wait time usually is 40 mins but you'll likely get seated before then. I was worried I'd smell like kbbq leaving since you cook right on the table and there isn't really a filtration. Needless to say I left my sweater in the car. We skipped the kbbq and went for entrees instead tonight and it was good but could be better. We got 3 entrees. Hot stone octopus - really lacking on the octopus. There was barely any. For $25 you'd expect some more but there's only sliced cabbage and onions and carrots mostly. The spicy red paste was the kicker and saving grace. Spicy rice cake- great! This has 2 dumplings, 2 onion rings, lots of fish cakes, lots of Tteok-bokki, and loads and loads of cheese. I'd reorder this one. Kimchi fried rice- this was too mushy. The egg at the bottom was alright and wasn't too flavorful. I'd prefer the egg soufflé instead. Pass. Next time I'll just order the small beef for two. read more

A great place for great quality Korean bbq. My boyfriend and I went around 8:30pm on a Saturday. The parking lot was full but cars pulled out frequently so we were able to grab a spot after just one lap around. There was a 40min wait but we were seated well under that. We ordered the small beef combo for two, fried small intestine, an order of the chef's cut prime short rib, and corn cheese. We also ordered 1 bottle of soju and 4 Terra's. The skirt steak and hanger steak were top favorites from the combo. The combo came with mushrooms and rice cakes. While the quality of presentation of everything was great, I felt that the portions were kind of small compared to another Korean bbq place we love. It was just the two of us and we ordered quite a bit. I will say not to go close to closing time if you like to take your time with meals. They're ON TIME with closing time and informed each table when it was last time. It wasn't an issue for us since we were done but I could see how some people might not be too thrilled about it if they didn't know. Overall great experience and we have another place to add to frequent for Korean bbq! read more

I've been wanting to try A5 Japanese wagyu for a while now, and I felt this was a good way to try it. We also got iberico pork belly add-on, though we probably would have been full enough without it (we were just 2 people). The wagyu set comes with mushrooms, rice cakes, white rice, lettuce wraps, banchan sides, sauces, and 2 sides - we got the steamed egg and soybean stew. The pork belly came with kimchi and onions, which were also grilled and soaked up the pork fat. The wagyu melted in the mouth, and the sauces and sides were all great. The pork belly was both meaty and fatty, and the grilled kimchi and onions were a nice touch to balance out that fat. The skin side of the pork belly was too hard to eat, though - could have cut that part off before serving. The sides and banchan really helped to balance the fattiness of the meat, so we didn't feel disgusting after. Service was impeccable, and we weren't rushed out at the end of the meal. Banchan and waters were refilled as needed, and the food was cooked perfectly. We arrived at noon when they opened, and it was mostly filled soon after, but there was no wait. The restaurant didn't get too smoky - I didn't even smell like smoke after I left. It is a little on the pricier side, especially if you go for the premium cuts, so those ones I'd reserve for a special occasion - we were celebrating a birthday. read more

This is my time favorite Korean bbq in Fort Lee. The quality of the meat is very consistent and delicious. I love the marinated short ribs and hanger steak the most. The great thing about the menu is that you can choose big or small meal. Y person, and always add on with a-la-carte, so it's very flexible but at the same time I don't need to think about which meat to order. The server is quick, experienced and friendly. I recommend coming at off-meal time to avoid the long wait. read more

I was quite surprised about the quality of meat here, but I guess that should be expected since it's located in Fort Lee. While it isn't the best Korean BBQ I've ever had in NJ/NY, I think its pretty good value for money. Service was super fast, friendly, and efficient - it's so nice that they can cook the BBQ for you. At lower end restaurants, they definitely wouldn't do that for you. read more
