    Hey carnivores, get your chopsticks ready and feast on their meat! Make sure you gather a group of friends as their dishes are all in gigantic shareable portion. * Ban Ban Jokbal 반반족발 For the pig trotters we ordered half and half. Both flavors were immaculate and easily won our heart. The spicy ones were indeed more flavorful, but they might be too spicy for people with lower spice tolerance. The original one was well marinated with sweet soy sauce. I typically steer away from pig feet because of its gelatinous and fatty texture. This dish kinda reversed my impression on pig trotters with its tender meat, luscious fat layer and gelatinous skin. You can reduce the greasiness by wrapping the pork with lettuce and banchan. * Mugeunji Gamja Tang 묵은지감자탕 We ordered the potato stew with aged kimchi broth. The hotpot had a hearty portion of pork backbones, potatoes and veggies. It was supposed to be the restaurant’s signature dish, but it was less memorable compared to jokbal. I took away the leftovers, and it actually tasted better after a night lol because the meat was fall-of-the-bone tender and absorbed the kimchi broth.

    Love this place! Their dishes are authentic, and the ambiance is delightful. Even though there’s a roughly 40-minute wait when we arrive around 7-ish, it’s absolutely worth it.

    We ordered five dishes as a group of 4 yet the portion is so generous that we couldn’t finish all. The half pork feet and half pork belly is perfectly marinated, and not feeling greasy at all. The overall dining experience is good, though on the way back, we figured that there supposed to a fried rice that we ordered wasn’t served.

    seafood pancake is super delicious - so crispy and with lots of seafood inside. the seafood pot has a whole octopus inside as well as shrimps and other seafood instead of putting lots of rice cakes or instant noodles. will recommend others to try!

    Always loved this place for the best porkbelly and gamja tang. I took my mother and grandmother here and they loved it. For scenery, it is not that romantic, but it’s got an original theme to it and I enjoy the atmosphere. Parking is also convenient. They got a parking lot. Now, the food is the best though. Fresh BanChan (Korean appetizer dishes). I had to ask for 3 kimchi refills because it was so good. Take a look at my photos to see how good this place is. Definitely come to this spot if you enjoy meat and hot soup. 💯💯💯 Take a look at my photos.

    We couldn’t try more dishes since we were 2. But the half half pork feet 족발 was sooooo delicious! I especially recommend the spicy one for people who like spicy food. It was great to go with the salad they served beside. The soup was also great although there was not a lot of meat in the 1-person version we ordered.

    Super tender pork in the pot. The portion is very enough! However, you will normally have to wait up to 30minutes due to its popularity.

    Flavorful and authentic! The spicy pork feet is a bit too spicy though. Would love to come back to try other dishes. Be sure to go early or be ready to wait!

    This shop has been around for a long time and use to be open really late. They soups/stews and their beef one soup is one of the best in the area. I had a craving and didn’t want to dine out but was pleasantly surprised to find they offer delivery through Uber Eats. Theo soonlongtong (beef bone soup) is still as good as I remembered it to be. The LA galbi (beef ribs) was flavorful and had that nice char that I really like. The even included their delicious fresh kim chi with every order!

    Authentic Korean Gamja tang(spicy pork bone broth stew topped with sesame leaves) place you can find in Fort Lee, NJ. Not a great choice for a party larger than 6 people though.

    After renovation, this place looks much more nicer than before. But still need more attention to bathroom (unisex, super low-pressure sink) Few tables, lots of takeout orders. We ordered half and half for bossam and spicy pork feet and Gamja tang. With the side dishes, it was great however, there was too much fat on Bossam that we couldn’t eat 1/3 of them. Also one more downside, they couldn’t do fried rice after gamjatang. Updated: 2/20/2023 Restaurant gets busier than before, expect to wait when you go. Still BYOB, same menus but much more flavorful and general portions. Staffs are all nice and were able to provide decent attention to all customers. I still go here for Gamjatang and jokbal.

    We ordered a budae jjigae for dinner. Their side dishes were free and they were all delicious.The budae jjigae is very tasty as well. The jjigae was full of veggies, kimchi, tofu, spam, and Korean hotdogs. We really liked it.

    Everything is sooo goood!!! My friend suggested this restaurant last night, she said it’s their favorite! Best seafood pancake I ever had and the other food in the pictures are so delicious. It’s BYOB too! It’s a small restaurant and no reservations, so prepare to wait.

    The broth was amazing, def the best I've had in the US, and similar in quality to what you would get in Korea. Highly recommend this place BYOB

    Amazing gamja tang, amazing food and service. It’s a no frills kinda place and you’re going for one reason, the pork. The bossam looked good but we haven’t tried yet, we’ll be back to try.

👍👍 I had never been to a revolving sushi bar before this one. What a great experience. Sushi was high quality, great variety to choose from.
