Came by on a search to fill our Korean fix (sorely lacking in Philadelphia). We had to wait a little bit before being seated, but were able to get a table for our party of 7 on a Saturday evening relatively quickly. I'm personally no expert in Korean restaurants, but I'm usually around folks that are, and this is a solid to above average place based on my experience and their opinions having gotten a variety of dishes (Pajun Uguji Tang, Galbi Stone Pot Rice). Our banchan also was delicious. They even had the spicy squid here, which I hear and personally have experienced to be pretty uncommon due to its niceness, so that elevated my opinion of this place already that they not only served it, but also refilled it for us when asked! I personally got the Haemul Soondubu, and it came out hot and deeply satisfying. Flavors were on point, and service was pretty quick. Overall, the feel here is pretty homey, flavors are on point. My only knock if anything is that the prices are bit high for my liking and what I ordered, but I think it's got to be this way to survive this close to the city. read more

The food was AMAZING! This was my best experience of Korean food so far in Fort Lee. The Galbi Tang tasted like how it should. I could taste the bone in it. The Yugaejang was also on point, but a little under salted, but I was okay with it. We also got this stone pot pork dish and, aww man, it was worth every bite. The rice was crispy, yet fresh. The Korean side dishes were so fresh and tasty. It didn't taste or feel like it was going bad and still being served. Either I came on a good day or the food is just amazingly tasty and fresh. That's what I really appreciate. The only downside was that it was a but pricey, but I do understand that inflation has hit hard. One dish per person for five people plus tip was about 170.00. However, I would still return as much as possible because the food is so good. read more

Yea Jip BBQ WE in Fort Lee, NJ. What kind of banchan do you like? I love a veggie forward banchan-filled with kimchi and spicy marinated cucumbers! At @yeajip_newjersey the pork and beef are equally delicious and fresh! You can't go wrong with anything marinated and I loved the galbi. The bulgogi was of course delicious as well.

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. read more

This is a pretty good Korean restaurant with consistently good, decent food. It's my go-to spot when I'm craving Korean food in Fort Lee.

My favorite korean restaurant when I'm missing my mom's cooking. Best kimchi stew. And banchan

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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 read more

Yea Jip is a great spot for both Korean food and KBBQ. They're a solid 4-4.5 contender overall, but as a cold noodle fiend, I must award the full 5 stars for the Naengmyeon alone. They currently serve up my favorite bowl of cold noodles which consist of perfectly chewy noodles in a rich and flavorful broth. With so many sub-par Naengmyeon I've had in this area, I'm glad that I can always find refuge at Yea Jip for my cold noodle needs. Backing up a bit to address the rest of the menu, all of their meats are fresh and of good quality. I usually opt for the pork belly or the marinated galbi, but their chadol baegi is pretty good, too. The seafood pancake is also delicious. I haven't eaten through much of their lunch menu since I always get the Naengmyeon, but the Galbi Stone Pot and Bulgogi Stone Pot are both solid. The kimchi and the rest of the banchan are also always tasty. Everything is a bit on the pricy side, but I think that comes with the territory. Interior is fairly spacious and I never had an issue with service. Highly recommended (try the Naengmyeon!). read more

Good traditional Korean place in heart of Ft Lee. Nice lunch special selections. Had the grill yellow croaker, slightly desiccated salted ocean fish, grilled. It's the fish that fed hungry Koreans for generations since it stays longer without fridge. Came with soft tofu side stews. Also got the beef stew, which was flavorful. I added a ton of spicy pepper sauce, cause I can. Rice, you can get white or mixed grain. Nice place. read more

Second time here, can't wait to come back! Such a flowmeters place and excellent menu. Some of the best people work here

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. read more

This is my second time to this restaurant. If you're looking for good food, this place is definitely a 4. But both time I left unsatisfied. Both times I could feel an unwelcoming vibe. Service is not existent! Wait staff cannot speak English nor do they care to help you understand the menu. While you're asking question about the menu, they would walk off to serve other tables. When I finished a couple of banchan dishes, I asked if there was any refill. Waitress unwillingly said one time. Then brought me banchan that I still had on the tables. Obviously those were the ones I didn't like. She saw that they were doubles that she brought over, said "oh" then just left them on the table and walked off. Why do they deserve any tip??? Why would I go back? I'm sure their boss doesn't even care. read more

I wanted to share some feedback about a recent lunch experience I had at Yea Jip. We haven't visited in a few months, but decided to drop by last Friday for lunch. To our surprise, the restaurant was empty even though it was the peak lunch hour. We ordered two lunch specials, but unfortunately, we found a hair in one of the dishes. I alerted the waitress, but she simply took the dish away without offering an apology or any explanation. The rest of the food was quite average, which was disappointing. I asked the waitress if there had been a change in ownership, and she confirmed that there was. Based on our experience, it might be worth considering whether the old owners should think about buying the place back. Given the abundance of Korean restaurants in town, you may want to explore other options if you're looking for a more enjoyable dining experience. read more

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. read more

ONE OF THE TOP 3 MEALS I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! I haven't been too educated on Korean cuisine, but this was truly a memorable experience. This place had everything you want in a restaurant. Where to start... The restaurant is spacious with tons of seating. The tables have the grill built into the center and all your grilled meals get prepared right in front of you. The staff is one of the friendliest and most accommodating I have seen. They were absolutely wonderful and I can't thank them enough. At first glance, I thought the prices were alittle bit high, but the amount of food you get off every item could feed a family of 5. The food is out of this world. The flavor combinations are so unique and hit my tastebuds like a truck! We were educated on how to roll up various combinations into a lettuce leaf or radish slice and each bite was better than the last. The marinades, fresh ingredients, and combinations were absolutely insane. This place is an absolute must! I can't say enough positive things about this place! read more

We decided to make an exit at Fort Lee to avoid the huge traffic going GWB on our way home to Queens. On our exploration, we ended on this beautiful restaurant. Worth the stop I would say. Located in a wonderful street of a nice Fort Lee neighborhood. We found the service and food honey like. The food was very delicious. We tried their Bulgogi and chicken on rice pot. Large servings that these two orders fitted for 3. The complimentary salad, appetizers and hot tea were just so handy. Their local beer was liked by hubby. The place is very authentic and found it enjoyable. The pricing is very accommodating. Dining Experience was good one. Recommended dining place. read more

Went for lunch (Jan'24), ordered 2 marinated Kalbi; 2 orders of cold noodles; haemul pancake for 4 people. The meat was good, pancake crispy. They did not give us soup for the kalbi meal with rice. The side dishes appear to be simpler in ingredients, not heavy on the sugar which is good. I would come back again. read more

We were there with hunger & tiredness and had no patience to wait for seating. The indoor dining was currently available at Yea Jip and the decor is authentic korean style. The staff was friendly and attentive but their English wasn't fluent. There is a great variety of options on the menu. The sides were served unlimited and we liked the braised eggplant and kimchi. We had Seafood Tofu Stew and BBQ Beef Brisket. The food was overall decent especially for the tender & flavorful brisket but it's kind of pricey with its small portion. read more

After speaking with the waiters, it seems this used to be an all you can eat spot and they turned it into an a la carte restaurant during the pandemic. Seems they made a great move. I can be picky with korean bbq restaurants but this place was great. From the various banchan to a classic menu, this place has it all. The marinated galbi was amazingly tender and had a perfect marinade and was perfect with the dweng jang jigae. Had a great time making lettuc wraps. My only regret is not getting more food. Service was very attentive and they were very friendly. Will definitely be coming back read more

This restaurant has its own parking lot which makes the visit very convenient in a very busy fort Lee area. There are multiple Korean BBQ restaurants in this area and they all do very well. This restaurant doesn't have the combo menu which others do but pricing seems to be about the same. One portion or galbi will be anywhere from $40 to $46 in this area. Only a few places offer charcoal BBQ and this restaurant does not. The meat portion and quality seems to be on par with other places in fort Lee. Their banchan is pretty good. I think I counted around 7 different side dishes. Their mul naengmyun was pretty good for $8 to go with marinated galbi. I would recommend that you order mul naengmyun. Their exhaust hood above the grill doesn't seem to suck up the smoke that well. The restaurant felt a bit Smokey and my clothes retained the BBQ smell after the visit. Overall, good food but with so many choices in this area, not sure I would comeback. I have my own favorites for Korean BBQ and this one does not make the list. read more

I've walked past this place SO many times but finally decided to try it and it is WELL WORTH IT!!!! It's all you can eat for a very reasonable price and the meats are all pretty high quality. I came here with one other friend during an extremely hot sunday for dinner. The place wasn't packed but there were a fair amount of people there. The AC was not that strong so we definitely suffered in the midst of the hot weather alongside the BBQ air. However, the food definitely made it worth it. We tried several of the means and they all seemed very high quality. There are also many fun things on their AYCE menu, such as unlimited seafood pancake, steamed egg, and some stews, noodles, and vegetables. The thing I REALLY liked about this place was that it didn't seem like anyone was trying to be cheap or take your money. The service was SOOO fast. Even before we finished one meat, the server would ask would meat we wanted next - as opposed to a lot of ayce places that make you wait a long time for the next meat. I realllllllly enjoyed this place and I think it's VERY WORTH IT. The food is good and doesn't taste cheap, it's not super expensive, and service is also amazing. read more

Lunch combo - cold noodles and marinated short rib is good and worth the price. They give you a lot so you can take the leftovers home or share some with a friend.

Stumbled upon this place after walking around Main Street and being told everywhere else that the wait was over an hour. Was pleasantly surprised. The whole experience screams authentic Korean. From the way they welcomed you to the table to the way the food tasted, it all seemed really Korean like. We ordered the beef short ribs, the pork belly, a small scallion seafood pancake and a kimchi pork and tofu stew. The short rib was amazing, it was super tender and well seasoned. The pancake was super crunchy which I liked. The stew was really savory and had big pieces of pork that you don't find at other places. The pork belly on the other hand was a bit tough. It wasn't cut or sliced before hand to make it tender I guess. But other than that it was a very good experience! Recommended! read more

I think for most people this would probably be four stars but I give it three for my particular tastes. To start they give 5-6 different side dishes (kimchi, salads, cucumbers, broccoli, etc.) but I only liked the salad and cucumbers. I am not a kimchi fan but i think those who like it would enjoy it. They are very strict on the other accompaniments. We ordered 4 bbq meat entrees, the seafood pancake and a tofu stew (forgot the exact name) for our party of 6 to celebrate my birthday. The give steamed eggs with your order. When we asked how many the waitress said 1 which we thought was kinda stingy. We asked how that is determined and she said 1 with every two orders of bbq meat. We did order 4 so ended up with 2 free steamed eggs which were light and fluffy. Asked for six white rice for everyone and were told we only get five. Probably paid close to $300 for dinner and they are counting white rice bowls on me. We just paid for the last one. Other high end BBQ (which I have reviewed) give free white rice and this place is not cheap. $45 for an order of galbi and $35+ for brisket and bulgoki. The brisket was dry - 2.5 star Would have been better with more marbling/fat. The bulgoki was sweet but not what I expected. Almost like a stew with more liquid and a mix of chap chae noodles and rice cakes mixed in. My son told me this was more traditional - 4 star The galbi was outstanding 2 bone in strips per order (we ordered two). Very tender and flavorful. I wish they actually cooked the bone part though. Maybe they take it to make beef stock? - 5 stars Tofu stew - one large shrimp and clam. My wife had to add some extra soy sauce but liked it enough after that to take the remaining soup home. - 3.5 stars. Free parking is limited. You can also park in the metered lot across the street. read more
