    My girlfriend woke me up from an afternoon nap telling me she was on the verge of getting hangry. Fearing the wrath of my significant other, I quickly planned to get some Chinese BBQ. It's street parking and there are some spaces right in front of the restaurant, but I could see it getting difficult. We went around 4:00PM so the place wasn't too packed and we were seated quickly. My girlfriend and I exclusively ordered skewers and they were great. I think the lamb might have been my favorite. The satisfaction of biting into a perfectly grilled lamb skewer is such a great feeling. It's fatty, it's salty, and it's got a unique flavor that I enjoy from time to time. There's a wide variety of meats offered, even some exotic ones like gizzard, kidney, and even penis! Cooking the skewers over the charcoal is a fun experience. Our grill got pretty crowded given how much my girlfriend and I ordered so the staff offered to grill some of our skewers at an open table. That was really nice of them. There's a time limit of 2 hours which is plenty of time to stuff your face with skewers. The food is good. Service is friendly. I really enjoyed my meal at Yangji and would love to come back. It is a little pricey though, but I recommend it.

    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

    Ooooh, it's been awhile since my last review…read more 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.

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 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.

    absolutely love this spot! This Korean bbq spot is different that other kbbqs in that it focuses…read moremore on pork meat. We opted for the $90 2 person combo which came with your choice of 3 meats. Our server helped us and recommended us to try the dry aged pork belly, pork jowl and marinated pork short rib. All of the meats were incredibly good! The pork combo also came with the fluffiest steamed egg and your choice of soup. They also gave banchan which was your typical kimchi, pickled radish, corn salad, as well as tteokbokki, pajeon, and raw marinated crab! Overall, we loved the food here. Service was amazing, our server was super attentive and helpful. He grilled all of the meats to perfection! Highly recommend coming here

    I don't remember who told me this place but I had this place bookmarked for some time and I'm glad…read moreI finally got to try this place out on a Friday night. Once I entered, was seated at a table, there was no wait. The place has a rustic Korean bbq vibe to it but also has random vintage items, like an old tv and old games and some modern items like claw games. Ended up getting the pork combo for 2 ($90) and chose to get the aged pork belly, pork jowl and marinated pork short ribs. They give you a lot of banchan (side dishes) and they were good. The quality of the pork was really good as well. There was a lot of food for two people which I really appreciated. My favorite from the pork was the aged pork belly or marinated pork short ribs, all were really good tho. The servers were excellent and were on top of all my orders and cooking everything perfectly. This is my new go to pork bbq spot. Next time I come here I'm bringing my family :) I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for bbq pork belly. * Parking garage on ground floor * Good service * A lot of games for all ages
