    Really enjoyed the bulgogi gopdol (Korean marinated beef over rice in a hot stone pot) on top of the whole banchan (side dish) service. Important to note that normally there are lunch specials but we came on a holiday so they were not valid. Regardless, I've returned a few times over the years and it's been very consistent and a great bang for your buck if you're in the mood for a wide assortment of Korean food. Parking can be tricky (welcome to Fort Lee) but if you're okay with it, there's tons of metered spots around.

    Pajun
    Imtiaz S.

    Pajun is a Korean pancake (some even call it a pizza). Yes, from a perspective, it is just batter with eggs, green onions, scallions, soy sauce, and mixed seafood. It is comfort food for games nights and binge watching, but the search for a perfect savory, crispy, golden (outside) and yet tender on the inside Pajun is a lifelong odyssey. It is Labor Day 2024 (weekend). At my home it is time to binge watch and discuss movies (TV Series). This Labor Day we chose the new miniseries, Shogun, based on James Clavell's historical fiction novel on 17th century Japan. Needless to say, Shogun (one of the best miniseries in recent years), end of summer, talk about "Eightfold Fence" and life of Samurais, made us crave for Yakatori. I set out for Main Street, Fort Lee (NJ) to the one spot known for their Yakitori. Sadly, that place (still exists) has stopped doing Yakitori. But I was committed to Main Steet (basically I had found parking). So while the initial intent was Japanese Yakatori, I quickly repurposed the mission to take home Korean Pajun (equally non messy party food). By sheer happenstance, something unplanned enabled me the joy of a perfect Pajun. The crispiest, the savoriest, Pajun I have ever had. I also got some Uguji Tang (Short rib soup with radish and cabbage). Watching Shogun, sipping Uguji Tang, eating Pajun, and debating Eightfold Fence; My Labor Day 2024. Before I forget, the place for awesome Pajun and Uguji Pang is Yeajip (235 Main St Fort Lee, NJ). I found out after I picked up the food that they have their own parking lot.

    Food (4/5): We got the seafood pancake, bulgogi stone bowl, and kimchi jigae. The seafood pancake was quite good with a decent amount of seafood. The bulgogi was also delicious with it being tender and flavorful. The portion for the bulgogi was awesome and in general from looking around at others' dishes it seemed like the portions were great. Finally the kimchi jigae was also good with a nice soupy warmth and nice kimchi flavors. The food came out extremely hot and sizzling and stayed that way. Super impressive but it does make it difficult to eat the food quickly since it's so hot. The banchan was a bit lackluster though with no fish cake (which is my favorite banchan) and the other banchan not tasting the best. My favorite banchan was oddly enough just a regular lettuce mix. Service (4/5): The server waited in front of us while we waited for our order. She helpfully took our order and was friendly. The water we got tasted a bit odd like it was slightly mixed with tea but the server explained that was the intent. The Korean banchan side dishes took a while to come out, normally we get it after we order. The food came out in around 15 minutes. Ambiance (4/5): Cool Korean bbq set ups with all wooden tables. The seats were spacious and reasonably comfortable. I liked the overall setup of the restaurant. The decorations were relatively sparse but it kept to a nice minimalistic view.

    Very spacious Korean BBQ restaurant in New Jersey. Both service and food were great. I ordered dishes not kbbq, but their dishes are also delicious. Pajun (5/5): scallion/seafood pancake was crispy and delicious Galbi Stone Pot Rice (5/5): beef quality was great and the sauce was very flavorful Bulgogi Stew (4/5): beef quality was great but I would rather get Bulgogi bbq next time Byunguh Jorim (4/5)

    A-7. Mung Bean Pancake
    Diana A.

    I couldn't wait to leave my review. First time ordered a delivery from here. First of all, I want you to know ,customers ,that I did today a traditional Korean pancake with Mung bean and Jaeyuk stone pot rice. I was impressed with the first one, the pancake: it was well packed and had a nice presentation, also. It can be eaten by two people; has an amazing flavor; it gave me a feeling of a really home made food. The second plate was soft and has a mild spicy flavor. I can eat 3 times with it...it was huge. One interesting thing is that came with mushrooms , zucchini, kimchi and more vegetables on the side . That was great! Everything was delicious, fresh... I will recommend this place for sure Thank you guys and God bless you

    Bibim naengmyun (spicy cold noodle)

    Food: 4/5 Price: 5/5 Service: 4/5 The lunch specials here really give you a bang for your buck! Huge portions. I got Daegi Galbi (marinated pork rib) with Bibim Naengmyun (spicy cold noodle). Both were good, and there was plenty left over to take back for a second meal. Also, the banchan (side dishes) were great to snack on before our dishes came. Friendly and polite service. Overall, a good experience.

    Hoe deopbap (raw fish over rice and vegetables)

    The portion was pretty big with lots of side dish. Clean settings and very nice service !

    I got to-go so I didn't get their indoor experience but the take-out was amazinggg!!! Im definitely coming again!! My friends and I ordered together but they gave us each our own portion of the side dishes!! I was so excited when I got my own because we weren't eating together and I love the side dishes so I was originally sad to part with them I forgot to take pictures before we devoured it but we got their Kimchi Jjigae, Beef Youkhe and Ox-Tail Soup. My Korean friends said it was so good so definitely good!! next time we'll try their indoor experience

    It was dinner time and we thoroughly enjoyed the food here. We ordered 4 servings of marinated beef short rib, stir fried glass noodle with assorted vegetables, and seafood udon among 5 people. Pricing was great! The servers were professional and friendly. We would come back here again.

    This restaurant serves up excellent Korean BBQ with a large spread of banchan and their kimchi is particularly delicious. The service was very fast and friendly and it tends to fill up pretty quick during peak lunch and dinner times. Really important to know is that this place is BYOB so bring some soju, beers or wine if you're looking to wash it down with something other than water or tea. There's a small parking lot for customers directly adjacent to the restaurant which is nice because street parking can be hard to come by. There's also a large municipal parking lot down the block in case you run out of parking options.

    I can't stress enough that I had the most amazing experience at this place. The staff was extremely welcoming and so helpful to us throughout our visit. We explained that it was our first time at a Korean barbecue place and they helped us understand each dish and how it is meant to be eaten. They even helped us assemble our first few wraps and made suggestions on different ways we should eat them. I love when a restaurant recommends dishes, we were going to go with a chicken but they recommended their signature meat and I am so glad that they did because it was out of this world. I felt super cultured and seriously enjoyed trying foods that I have never had before. Everything was so fresh and extremely delicious. I truthfully think that Korean barbecue is now one of my favorite cuisines simply because of how amazing the hospitality of YeaJip was. Highly recommend this location especially if you have not had a Korean barbecue before. This is definitely the place you want as your first experience.

    About how many people does one BBQ meat dish feed?

    That depends. If you eat with the bowl of rice and side dish, 1 or 2 people but, eating just the meat may be enough for one person per order.

    Finally got to try this place I heard so much about on a Christmas day with wife because it was…read morefrigid and we wanted a warm bowl of Korean "tang"(soup). Finding parking is quite challenging given the location on a busy commercial street, so make sure you can come earlier than meal time to have better luck. They have waiting seats OUTSIDE so yeah I suppose it's quite popular at times. 1. ATMOSPHERE (3/5) - This location is small and it's pretty straightforward place. But I still found it cozy, with decent amount of seating (I think it can handle 15-20 max) and little details like wall with wood ledges and coat hangers were a nice touch. Seating was comfortable, though we tied our down parkas around our waist as another party had hung theirs on our side of coat hangers. 2. FOOD (4/5) - We dove right in to try their famous gejang (~Korean raw crab "ceviche") and ordered two of their namesake gookbap (rice with soup) to see how they are. Here's how it went down. - Gejang (App, $20, 2/5) - I had a hunch that on a holiday perhaps I should not order this, but my craving for succulent crab flesh be damned, I went for it and unfortunately, the meat was not well-marinated as I had feared. Gejang is a dish that has to sit in the complex soy-based pickling liquid for some time... and if restaurant is too busy churning them out or if it's slow season they won't do this properly. It not only wasn't fully marinated, I think the marinade was off because the spiciness was way out of balance and was overpowering. Perhaps knowing that it didn't have enough time to marinade the kitchen put extra diced jalapenos to compensate? Because that's exactly what it tasted like - you can't fool me. I tried to salvage the dish by asking a confused-looking girl server for some sugar, but yeah, can't un-do the overpowered marinade with sprinkling of sugar. This was really unfortunate as I was looking forward to a good bite. - Ahjae Gookbap (Main, $18, 5/5) - Thankfully, their namesake gookbap was spot-on to salvage our dining. Generous slabs of succulent beef on the bone and off the bone was swimming in a hearty beef/bone broth that tasted clean and focused. Portion was good, and can I say their banchan of fish cake moochim & unfermented kimchi & ggakdugi(radish kimchi) simply ROCKS? That was some serious deliciousness and dare I say value at $18 at a day and age where hamburger costs over $10! You win at life by ordering this! 3. SERVICE (4/5) - Our server girl was attentive and food came out early on though later it was a bit hard to get her attention promptly. We found ourselves putting hands in the air, and wavin' like we don't care... for a little while. They provide gloves & metal bin for gejang which was a nice touch for people to keep their fingers clean. One thing I'd like to mention: Plastic cup they served water in was all chipped on the rim so we instead went and got water from their hot & cold water dispenser which had metal cups (as many korean restaurants do). I'd suggest them to replace all these old plastic cups with metal ones for health reasons. Overall, we were satisfied with our meal. I'd chock up the gejang mishap to it being a holiday. I hope chef was just off with the marinade that day because I am a certified gejang pro(I catch and make my own) and that balance ain't it. But I will give it another try during warmer month and we'll definitely be back to try sooyook moochim, oyster jeon & other great soup offerings.

    2nd time coming here. Small restaurant with a few tables. Thankfully when we came (Saturday…read moreevening), there was one table available and it was the same table as last time! Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

Once I entered, was seated at a table, there was no wait.

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 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.

The USDA Prime Rib Finger and Pork Shoulder were both delicious, but I think what makes this Korean BBQ restaurant shine is their accompaniments.

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.

His hot tip: this restaurant is BYOB, so hop into the liquor store (inside the Hmart complex) next door to grab some soju and beer before settling in for some grilled meats. There are some plated dishes on the menu but with grill covers in the middle of every table, it's clear this is a restaurant meant for Korean BBQ. The pork belly was incredible with decent grill-kissed char marks. The marinated beef was tasty but a little tougher than I prefer. I love all the free side dishes that came with our meat orders, especially the soybean stew and towering egg soufflé. Service is brisk and efficient..sort of. This is the sort of place where servers hover with their order pads soon after you settle down, expecting you to just know what you want. Since this is a full-service BBQ, our server came around frequently to grill, cut, or flip or meats. After all was eaten and done, it become mysteriously difficult to flag her down for our cheque. A side note about ordering: there's a two-portion minimum for meats. My husband and I don't eat much so we thought we'd split a single order of pork belly, but our server insisted we needed to order at least two servings.

We have always enjoyed dining at Daeji Ssonday in Ridgefield, but the rude and unprofessional behavior of our waitress completely ruined our family dinner. We were seated at the table directly in front of the far back-right table (when looking from the counter). From the moment we sat down, the service was hostile: Aggressive Attitude: As soon as we sat, she demanded our order loudly. When we asked questions about the menu, she answered with visible irritation. While we were briefly discussing options with our children, she slammed her notepad onto our table with a loud "bang" and walked away, startling both us and our kids. Negligent Service: She continued to be rude throughout the meal, literally tossing side dishes onto the table. Furthermore, the exhaust hood at our table wasn't working properly, causing the smoke from the pork belly to fill the air and make it hard to breathe. She didn't check on us until much later. Ruined Meal Flow: While we were still eating our pork belly, she came over and--without asking--scraped all the meat onto a side plate to clear the grill for the spicy squid. We had to eat cold, greasy pork belly instead of enjoying it warm off the grill. She never even asked if we wanted fried rice afterward and ignored our table for the rest of the night. We always try to treat service staff with respect and gratitude, but this experience was unacceptable. Despite our polite demeanor, we were treated with zero professional courtesy. If the manager or owner is reading this, please look into the staff working that shift. This waitress needs serious retraining in basic customer service. It's a shame because we loved this restaurant, but after tonight, we have no desire to return.
