Purely based on the food, loved the marinated crabs. Thought it would be grainy with the gochujang sauce but it was really good that I had to mix some of that sauce with my rice. Also has their tendon soup and the tendons were cooked really well/soft yet with enough chewiness. As I only tried 2 things here, saving a star for the future when I go back to try their other dishes. The staff were so nice and attentive.

The chicken ginseng soup here is one of my favorite dishes anywhere. We drive from far to have it. Come early to find a parking spot.

Often eat here, the service is excellent and the restaurant is very clean. The owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Everything we order here is very tasty, well seasoned and delicious. It's a bit pricey but you can count on it being delicious.

TLDR: Small local Korean shop in Palisades Park. They got a little bit of everything but for me - two things stood out. The ssam platter brisket or spicy pork is best and the nakji bokkeum. Wowies. Came here with the in-laws and wow, what a place. It's small and just a local joint people go to eat but the stuff they do well, they do well. The ssam platter has a massive assortment of veggies. Probably more than 10 different choices. We got the beef brisket but had we not had the stir-fried spicy pork earlier in the day, that's what we would have had. Grab a lettuce or veggie wrap, some rice, some sauce and the meat. The nakji bokkeum is probably the best I've ever had. It's actually spicy, tender octopus chunks, bouncy udon noodles. It's cooked in a sizzling platter table-side. I have been thinking about this dish ever sicne we went.

Authentic Korean dishes. Very very good. Specially their combo menu is value with taste more than the expectation. Serving very quick and everyone there smiles greet you very welcome. Bright and playing American rock !!! I would recommend to my kids - all my kids are over 30 years old. Ha ha ha.

Craving a warm authentic Korean food, we landed on BapEeRang with our large party with no wait on a Sunday night. The restaurant felt very homely and was run like a family restaurant. Most of the other guests spoke Korean. We were treated very well with great food and service despite none of us knowing Korean. The Banchan was really good - fish tofu, great kimchi, jalapeños with small fish, broccoli, and lettuce. We got the stir fried pork combo meal with kimchi stew, galbi combo meal with soybean stew, spicy octopus bibimbap dolpan (dolpan is a sizzling hot stone plate), seafood pancake, and budae jjigae (army stew). The food was absolutely fantastic - The flavor was there and my party had an amazing meal! The only thing I wished was if the army stew had tteobokki - Overall, we were very pleased with the value, quality, and tastiness of our meal. Better Korean food (and value!) than NYC Koreantown food!

This place was a great find. It was crowded for lunch on a Friday. Service was a little slower as it seemed like there was just one server. But she was friendly although she was obviously stressed. We chose here because of the spicy blue crabs since most restaurants in that area that serve marinaded crabs do just soy sauce ones. It did not disappoint! So good. However, it's not an ideal place to come with food allergies due to the language barrier and they didn't seem to know the ingredients.

Weird how it seems like the reviews are like Jekyll and Hyde here, as I've visited this place multiple times and never had a single instance of rude or service or lousy food. What I always love about coming here is not only the homey-vibe of the food, but also the consistency of it and the overall experience as well. For me this place checks a lot of boxes. The food as I mentioned is homey and well prepared. It's consistently good and the restaurant itself has always been very clean and a cozy place to grab a nice lunch or dinner. It's also not a huge place, so it doesn't get super crazy in here, which is nice for me at least as someone who enjoys a relatively quiet meal. I usually get the kalbi set with tofu soup, which are both tasty and the latter being just right, not too spicy not too salty. I've also had the seafood pancake here which is very good, as well as the brisket which is good but the portion is very big, so keep that in mind. The latter is better as a dish for 2-3 people for sure. I'm also a big fan of their very fresh banchan options. It's not some huge variety but they always have been good with refills. The servers here have always been very friendly to me and my family. It's hard to envision the folks who work here being rude to anyone based on the several visits I've had, but that's my own experience and I'm sticking to it. They have a small parking lot but it generally is enough to fit everyone since the restaurant itself isn't big but I always love how quaint and cozy it is inside. I think this is a nice neighborhood gem that's definitely worth checking out if you're into cozy homey Korean food.

If you are looking for a hot korean dinner that's healthy and satisfies a family dinner this is the place to go. We ordered the dogani tang, galbi combo, bibimbap on dolsot, and jaeyook bokeum. Dogani tang didn't need additional salt it was just right. The dogani was chewy and bite sized. Galbi was fire grilled to perfection. Bibimbap on hot stone plate was fresh. Jaeyook bokeum was well marinated. There was plenty of seating around 7pm. They have a parking lot but it's small. It looks like a cafe on the outside, you wouldn't know it's a restaurant until you go in.
