First time trying this Chinese bbq and it's good! I really like the dipping salt, it makes all the skewers taste better. I saw on social media that similar places has the grill with rolling thing so it can flip the meat and cook evenly, but this place doesn't have that. The stir fry noodle is pretty bland. Definitely reserve because the place is quite small

Stopped by to see how good this place is compared to Xiao Chuan Dian few doors down, and the verdict is: MIXED Atmosphere - It's a small place and it's not as nice as XCD, but you might have more luck finding seating. Stripped down with several tables - we were seated towards the back where it was near door to the kitchen where they were cutting stuff up, so I'd say not the nicest vibe Food - I came to test one specifish dish, the Korean Cold Noodle (naengmyun), which they did have. Unfortunately it was not even half as good. Broth just wasn't as tasty and overall I was disappointed. When it came to their skewers, I liked their squid and lamb was decent, but again, could not compare to the other place. Service - Service was good, perhaps better since it's such a small place. Lady checked on us and we did not have to wait too long for anything. Overall, I think this place is a compelling option for good chinese skewers but just lower your expectations a bit, so give it a try (and you might disagree and love it!) As for me, I have to have the cold noodles and I'll be going to the other place.

Came here for dinner. We were a group of 6 ppl. We ordered lots of skewers: lamb, beef, chicken gizzard, intestines, etc. They were all well seasoned and delicious. The place might be smaller than the other one nearby. But this place might pack a punch. The service is more attentive, and respond quicker. This place uses really hot coal and they sizzle in high heat in front of you, even tho there is no device that automatically turns the skewers for you. I feel the portions in here a larger than the other place. Will definitely come back again in the future : )

We drive past this little marked dive restaurant all the time. I finally discovered it through yelp and decided to stop in daytime and hope there was a table open. We loved the way the items are on skewers and the charcoal taste on the meat. I didn't experience the smokiness in the restaurant as others mentioned. Prices are a bit above average, but worth it. Will return. Fun experience.

You should definitely make a reservation if you are trying to eat here. I attempted to get a table here multiple weeknights, but was turned away 3 times before I finally caved and made a reservation for dinner. The staff doesn't speak English well, but they do have an English menu. Yangji BBQ specializes in Chinese BBQ skewers, where skewers of meat are cooked over a charcoal grill built into the table. We ordered a large variety of skewers, along with soup, noodles, and fried rice. The meats are unseasoned, but you do get a few containers of a variety of spices on the table. You gotta be careful not to overcook the meats. Some of them ended up a little tough because we left them over the coals too long. My favorite were the lamb skewers. It's a fun experience, averaging out to about $2 per skewer

It's a small place but the food is on point. Didn't get to take picture of other two items we ordered but the lamb skewers which they were known for were on point. Some states don't allow you to cook the skewers inside the restaurant luckily in NJ they allow it which makes this experience more genuine. Only complaint I got is Tsingtao which I've ordered and is a must pairing with the lamb skewers wasn't cold on this hot muggy day. I'd definitely return and eat again food was fire. Service is quick since it's a small restaurant parking can be a little bit of issue.

Acceptably quality on bbq and some dry pot. Could be better on bbq experience by having oil spray for some veg

We came in as a group of 4, and we left so satisfied! This place is a bit of a hole in the wall,…read morewith very limited parking in the lot downstairs. We arrived around 3pm, and were seated immediately. We ordered the set with jjajangmyeon + jjampong + tang su yuk, as well as ganjjajangmyeon! This was definitely too much food for us, but it really hit the spot. The jjampong was flavored perfectly and wasn't too spicy. It came with a lot of seafood and was definitely worth it! Both jjajangmyeons were really delicious and savory, with the normal jjajangmyeon being lighter and the ganjjajangmyeon being heavier and smokier. Because it was so delicious, I also got an order of jjajangmyeon to go! They were super nice and gave me the option of pre-cooked noodles or raw noodles that I can cook at home so it stays fresh. Highly recommend giving a visit! One of the better places I've had for noodles!

We managed to find parking across the street and it was free too! They're super nice here and I really enjoyed my jajangmyeon. I had the seafood, my husband had the original, and my friend had the pork. All were such a large portion for an affordable price. We also had an order of the fried pork, which was delightful. They refilled banchans often and we felt very well taken care of.

Rahongbu Malatang - Dry pot

Went to Rahongbu Malatang for some dry pot on a weeknight for dinner. It's in the same restaurant…read moreas Hong Chun Cheon, which serves dakgalbi. The dry pot here is similar to others, where you serve yourself from a raw bar, the ingredients are weighed, and they cook it for you to the spice level of your liking. I don't like that noodles are charged separately from the weight of the other ingredients (vegetables, fish cakes, meat, etc.) Because of this, i almost opted to order one of the dakgalbi dishes on the menu for Hong Chun Cheon. However, the prices listed on the menu are for one serving. When i tried to order, the lady at the counter explained I had to order two order minimum. So the real price for one order of cheese dakgalbi is $51.90, not $25.95. This was annoying because I was the only person who wanted dakgalbi, which mean i ended up not getting it. I did get my dry pot though. They make it spicy just like everyone else. At about $16 per pound with separate charges for noodles, it's slightly more expensive than other dry pot restaurants in the area. I eventually wanna come back for the dakgalbi, but I'm gonna need to make sure i have a partner beforehand.

Upon getting a table, you can order either the mala options or the chicken bbq (닭갈비) options. If…read moreyou're getting mala, you can self-serve any ingredients you'd like - malatang was cheaper ($14.95/lb) than the dry pot version ($16.95/lb). There aren't too many options but still ample to make a delicious mala dish. I got the Malatang with the Medium level which was the best for me, although I was sniffling a bit towards the end. I think Mild is also a great option, as it was still flavorful with a slight heat. We had a bit of a wait on Friday night as expected but luckily, upon being seated it's just a matter of waiting for the kitchen to prepare your dish. They offered us complimentary sweet potato tempura on the house which helped curb our hunger in the meantime. There are only three people working front of house so please be patient!

Some of the most delicious Chinese food we've ever had! We found this restaurant on TikTok, and…read moresince it was so close, we immediately got up and went to try it. We were seated right away, even though it was BUSY! The service was excellent, the staff consistently checked in on us and kept our waters refilled. We've already been three times in the past month. Between the food and the service, it's such a great experience and keeps us coming back!

Lately, I've been seeing Instagram videos for Soup Dumpling Plus. Glowing reviews, accompanied by…read morephrases like "best dumplings ever" and "usually a long line". I live near the restaurant and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out where this place was. Then my wife reminded me that we've been here like 6 times in the past 3 years; way before the recent hype. I just never knew the name of the restaurant So YES, the Soup Dumplings are good, but just don't come for that. They have a large menu, with lots of Chinese food, that shouldn't be skipped. This visit we started with a Cucumber Salad, and then 1 order of Soup Dumplings, Beef & Scallion Pancake, and Mapo Tofu. This may be a broad statement, and vague, but most everything here is good. However, the Mapo Tofu was probably the worst we ever had. Strange looking, and we felt cornstarch was added to thicken up the brown gush. The White Rice that came with it was not so great either. As for the long lines...they have a waitlist where you put your name down . But they do a great job of turning covers. Honestly, I don't think we've ever waited more than 15 minutes for a table. Big shout out loud to the girl who was constantly re-filling our water glass.

Ambience: 3/5. Fairly small dining area. It seemed like most people would actually get takeout…read moresince we saw several people come in to pick up food. It did start getting busy around peak lunch time though. There is a bathroom but you have to ask them for the key. Food: 5/5. Hands down the best jjajjang I've ever had. I'm usually more of a jjampong fan but I found myself getting way more servings of jjajjang. The sauce is rich in a way I haven't tasted before and borderline addictive. The first bite already had me thinking "oh no, this is going to become a new craving". The Jjampong was also good (although outshined by the jjajang). I guess I was expecting more considering the place is called 333 jjamppong. We got the seafood one and I felt like the noodles were just a TAD bit overcooked but I was surprised at how soft the squid was, not at all tough and chewy. It also had quite a nice spice kick to it. The tangsuyuk was perfectly fried, crispy with moist chicken inside and not too oily. We tried the fried meatballs for the first time which was quite rich as well although definitely felt a bit heavy when paired with all the other fried food. If I come here again I'd definitely go for the jjajjang and tangsuyuk. Service: average 3/5

The jajangmyeon was pretty good but a little too watery for my taste (a lot of sauce vs. noodles)…read more But I will say that there were plenty of toppings in it! We also ordered some sides but nothing too standout in my opinion including kkanpunggi which had good flavor but not quite crispy enough.

Good place for Korean Chinese place, but little pricy. We order 2 noodle and 1 sweet & sour pork,…read moreand it costs about $60. The noodle sauce is very heavy (I liked it), and the noodle texture is perfect. The portion of sweet & sour pork is small (I usually get 3-4 people portion, but this one is good for 2 people).

The dining room was empty when we rocked up on a weekday late afternoon, and it was nice to sit at a table by the window for a street view. The staff was quick and efficient, and we got a super heavy tea pot of hot barley tea in no time. Food came out without delay. I love how theirs comes with loads of veggies, even as I question the use of green beans which is a first for me (to see them in sweet and sour pork). And while it was distracting and would rather have the dish without the beans, the star of the fish, the pork, was just right and we gobbled it up. I hope they stay open for a long time.

TLDR: Mugeog is supposedly a chain from Korea. As the name would suggest, they do jjampong mostly…read more Overall, flavors were very muted for me. Personally I like the other Palisades Park spots more. Tang Suyuk. Got a small order. Meat was a bit on the drier side, the battery was similar to sweet/sour chicken without the sauce. It was crispy at certain edges but mostly it was kind softer and doughy. That on top of the bland dry pork, meh. Jjajang. Wife got the spicy one. The heat was there but the sauce was not as thick as I'm accustomed to nor was it as rich. The stir-fried pork was abundant but the sauce was definitely on the sweeter side. Felt a bit too thin on the sauce and not quite the addictive flavor that you'll find yourself shoveling in mouthfuls of noodles non-sotp. Jjampong. I opted for the one with the brisket. A decent amount of seafood but the brisket tasted just kind of boiled. Not really charred on the edges like a proper chadolbaegi would be. Basically this should be almost like beef bacon with the fatty band rendered out kind of crispy. The seafood and veggies didn't really have that bulmaht (wok hei, whatever) that you expect. The broth was not too oily but was just lacking in that rich smoky flavor I'd expect. Maybe things will improve in the future but more than likely I'll end up at one of the local favorites if I'm craving something like this.

May I say that Mugeog Jjamppong is arguably the best Korean Chinese restaurant in the Palisades…read morePark/Fort Lee area? My family decided to try it out after seeing an advertisement in one of the Korean newspapers, and we're definitely glad we did. We picked up an order for seafood chadol (brisket) jjamppong, the signature Mugeog (meaning "unbeatable" or "invincible" in Korean) Jjamppong, and jjajangmyung. It's difficult to find chadol jjamppong in the States, even in the Palisades Park/Fort Lee area, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it on the menu and have it be as tasty as it was -- there was a nice balance of seafood and chadol, and there were more than just a few sad slices of brisket, which is what I have normally found on the rare occasion that chadol jjamppong was on the menu. Jjajangmyun was tasty, albeit a bit salty, but the restaurant gets a slight pass because the noodles for all three of the dishes that we had were excellent and it markets itself as a jjamppong place, not a jjajangmyun place. And believe me when I say the signature dish deserves its "unbeatable/invincible" title as the soup contained SO MUCH seafood, including pieces of crab and a huge shrimp. There was so much seafood in the soup that the amount was enough for two people. (See the photo of the jjamppong take out containers for comparison.) In addition to the taste, the prices were also excellent -- we paid a total of $37 ($8 + $14 + $15). The restaurant recently opened in March so it's just approaching the six-month mark. I have seen many restaurants that do well in the beginning but fail after a year or so because they become too lax with taste and greedy with prices. Hopefully, this restaurant will stay true to its roots and remain consistent. My family is looking forward to trying more dishes, such as the sweet and sour pork, so we will be returning soon -- and at which time I hope to not write an updated review reneging on my 5 stars.
