Came here on a Friday afternoon with a friend which my friend suggested to have lunch at. Once you enter, a server/staff member seats you. The place is not huge but it has a good amount of seating for the size and clean. I ended up getting the Yangji seolleongtang ($16.99) which is the beef brisket and ox bone soup and noodles. It was very good and the portions are pretty big. The side dishes (complimentary) were good as well. I would highly recommend this place if you want good Korean food. And def will hit the spot on a cold winter day. * Street parking * Good service
Small Korean restaurant, mostly take out due to limited tables. Specialize in variety type of bone soup, Korean sausage called soon dae and spicy braised chicken called dak dori tang. Their Dak Dori Tang is usually sold out even before dinner time. I have to call in advance to reserve the dish for pick up most of times. Definitely recommend their dish. staffer dont speak English well. You can point out from the images on the menu as well. Hidden Gem in Fort Lee.
Food (4/5) - For the pricing, the food here is solid. I ordered the pork soup and rice (돼지국밥) and the quantity that they give is generous along with a side of kimchi (but usually it's not really fresh so it's meh.. but the soup makes up for it - trust). They def don't cheap out on the meat or anything cuz you can easily make this one order a two meal ordeal. The soup taste was good: wasn't watered down or anything, and is def up there with other restaurant quality equivalents Service (4/5) - I called to pick up and it was a 10 min wait so def not bad for what you're getting! Server was nice and respectful and everything was done efficiently. Never ate inside the place cuz it's verryyyy small so can't speak to their waiters etc. TLDR - Would recommend picking up, and food portions/taste are solid! Haven't had a miss with this place!
Perfect and tasty broth to warm me up! Very small and homey ambiance. Expect to be shoulder to shoulder with other guests because it seems to be a very popular place with limited in-restaurant seating.
This gamjatang soup is as close as the one I had in Korea. So darn good! I've been looking for this soup and finally found it. The place is small but cozy. Service is quick and efficient.
