Tucked away in a quaint corner of Fort Lee, this Korean gem has limited seating, but packed with lots flavor! I came here on a weekday night and we had to wait around an hour just to secure seats for a table of 4. I would recommend reserving beforehand to get the best dining experience. The seafood pancake was a crispy delight, leaving every bite bursting with savory goodness. Don't miss out on their specialties: whether it's bossam or the hearty tangs (soups), each dish had super rich flavors!

They are moving to a new location shortly. We ordered a small gamja tang (#2) which was good. I just wish it was spicier. We also ordered a small order of ban Jokbal and ban bossam. Very good. Their smalls seem to run big. Can easily feed a party of 4 people. The restaurant is small and dated. So it makes sense that they are moving to a newer location. I will need to come back and try their new place. This place has a parking lot next to their restaurant. I hope they parking lot in the new location too. Quick tip: Bring cash. They give a 10% discount if you pay with cash. The owner and staff are friendly and attentive. Kinda curt but it's cultural. Accept it and place your order. lol The side dishes are good too!

We came by on Sunday around noon and were able to snag the last table without waiting. We got a small order of the Gamja Tang and the mixed pig trotters. The Ganja Tang had pork backbone with some napa and a potato. It was flavorful and perfect for the cold day. I tried the regular pig trotters without anything and it was a bit bland, it definitely needs to be dipped in the sauce or paired with some of the side dishes. The spicy pig trotters were extremely flavorful- highly recommend! Overall a great comforting meal. The only con was that the restaurant itself was pretty cold and everyone was wearing their jackets!

Great service great gamjatang great banchan. Would take my parents here type good. We love.

Hotpot & fried rice w/ leftover broth OML this was so good. We ordered the Ugeoji Gamjatang and it was 50000000 damn delicious. The broth was so flavorful and spicy, there was a good portion of meat which was very tender. But the star was definitely the fried rice. Would recommend. The service was amazing they cook the ride for you and the store owner is friendly

Pretty good place for home-made style Korean food. i've noticed the side dishes are quite different than other ones. Normally they offer broccoli, kimchi, tofu skin, etc. In this one they offer everything except the broccoli. No big deal tho I believe we ordered the Ban Ban Jokbal (half and half non spicy and spicy jokbal). It was very tender and delicious. The fatty portion was superb, quite like the tenderness and fattyness of it. I couldnt handle the spicy section, a bit too spicy... Also ordered the Gamja Tang Tang, which is the pork bone casserole with veggetables. It felt like home made, the broth was natural with no MSG, and the pork bones were delicious. The most delicious part would be the meat close to the bone which you would need to get gloves to suck them dry. Delicious! Definitely coming back to this place in the future : )

If you're craving traditional Korean food, this is the place to go, especially for meats and stews. I came on a rainy day and everything hit the spot. The ugeoji gamjatang was really flavorful, had so much meat, and the broth was very clean tasting (not heavy at all). The portion sizes are huge too. My friend and I got the small gamjatang and it could easily feed 2-3 people. The jokbal was also really good. This dish also had so much meat and was super flavorful. It's a pretty small restaurant and there's always a wait during peak meal times so definitely keep that in mind. There's also a small parking lot available for customers and street parking if the lot is full.

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.

ooo i like this place. Came here on a Monday (labor day) and got in around 11:45. The moment we sat down there was a line so that was surprising. Be sure to get here earlier if you wanna guarantee a spot and not wait. We got haemul pajeon and ugeogi gamjatang which were both pretty good. I forgot if we got the small or medium but we thought that it was a good amount of food that got us full. There's a parking lot in the back and can park like 8 or more? overall would come again.

I came in around 9 pm on Thursday night and was told the wait time is 35 min, so I ordered takeout instead. It still took about 20 min of waiting. Ordered Jokbal and Ojingeo (spicy squid) Dolaot Bibimbap. The pork leg was an awesome dish with great flavor and excellent texture for your taste buds. I did not try the famous Gamjatang since I did not get a table to dine in. Maybe next time when I am in town.
