Wow ordered delivery and the food was absolute garbage. One of the worst meals I've had during this quarantine . Never ever again

Overall the food was ok (we ordered all you can eat), but not really worth the price and it took so long to get our sushi/roll orders. Stayed there for about 1hr and 15 min half the time waiting.

this restaurant is currently CLOSED!! I’m sure the food is good but don’t trust DoorDash or anything bc they will charge you and then you’ll find out there is no restaurant.

After waiting for 30 min, even no one was eating, we were the only guest. The food disappointed us a lot. The so called bibimbap on hot "stone" plate (See photo). The food is different from the pic on the menu. The food sucks here since changed owner. Even the menu are same but quality are not good anymore.

Love the service and the food. The budae jigae is super authentic! It comes out in a small pot with fire under neath. The pot was enough for two people. Among all the budae jigae i have tried and also the cost, this was well worth it. I also tried their fried chicken and tofu soup which was also yummy.

Oh no! Our dinner was not good. I think the management changed because now the restaurant was split into two. Since my last visit, I have been thinking about their ddukbokki, the oozing cheese and the chewy rice cakes. I hyped this restaurant so much, and my husband and I were beyond disappointed. The egg in my ddukbokki was COLD! The Budae stew was so so average. This is so sad. The service was so great, which is why I gave it 2 stars.

EVERYTHING is delicious. My favorite Korean restaurant.

Loved the vibe when you first enter the restaurant. My boyfriend and I personally went to this low key restaurant for the budae jjigae. Instead i got a BOOTY JJIGAE. it was a-okay. it tasted like something in between my mom's cooking and a foreigner attempting to make budae jjigae for the first time. Service was fine. They barely checked up on us cause we were sitting by the window and they had like 3 customers besides us. What I don't understand is why they had bowls with another Korean restaurant name on them. I just don't think it's worth the price.

I love to eat there, I've been in other restaurants but in ajae budae I'm feel in home, Mr. Song and Mr. Vincent are very good chefs

Good AYCE sushi here.

Bibimbap was really good and had lots of veggies in it. I ordered it for delivery and the rice came separately from the veggies I believe this was to keep it warm. Everything was so fresh and unbelievably delicious. I also had some spicy seafood tofu soup on the side. The tofu was defiantly silk tofu and there was lots of it. The soup had about 4 mussels and 1 shrimp slightly disappointed i didn't get more shrimp. But the spice level on the soup was awesome. They also sent some sides 4 different kinds. The sides were there being ignored by me not knowing that the fish cake would be one of the highlights of the meal. The fish cakes were a cold sweet slightly chewy and seriously amazing. I will be ordering from here again and again.

BYOB place, easy find parking. Hidden place in Fort Lee NJ. The boodae jjigae is amazing there. They cooked it right in front of you. Also their hot sizzling stir fried dishes are amazing. I recently tried the cheese donkatsu, ended up ordering twice lol

If you are going to name your restaurant the name of a dish, you better have the best budae jigae in the area, not the opposite. I ordered the budae/galbi combo. the galbi was ok, the budae was probably the worst I've ever had... bland, not even spicy, no kimchi, no spam, squash? and bean sprouts? I'm no expert on korean army stew, but the basics are missing. You can't call this budae jigae, I'm not sure what this is even called.

You can't beat the price, with responsive, and most importantly friendly people. The modern feel and neutral atmosphere is nice for all friends, family, and even date night with loved ones.
