I was craving a home cooked Korean meal and this place hit the spot! I felt like I was having dinner at my grandmas! The Korean side dishes were delicious! I loved the spicy rice cakes and my noodle soup! Will definitely be back.

I wanted to try kimchi, noodles and Bulgogi, buttttt when I came here I realized that the portions were gigantic. So I decided just for kimchi w/ noodles this time. The kimchi w/ noodles was absolutely delicious!!! I have to add that the place is clean, quiet cozy and the servers are very kind Prices are fair I will return to enjoy everything of this place Thankz and blessings to all the crew!

My friend and I grabbed lunch from Myung Ga Won and let me say, the food and flavors were A+! We ordered the spicy stir fried squid, and the weekend special which came with spicy pork, braised mackerel, and a variety of banchan. The mackerel was tender, and cooked so perfectly. My favorite of the banchan was the seaweed and daikon which had just the right amount of vinegar. After the meal, they bring you slices of watermelon for dessert! Overall, Myung Ga Won does a superb job with flavors and authenticity.

Simple yet great dishes. True korean food. Solid five stars for the food. Lunch combo has a lot of nice side dishes, portions were good, and so as price. Definitely coming back.

Stingy place. Food taste good but service is very bad. I have asked for more small plates. They seems not happy to provide additional small plates or f food. Not happy to go there

Their jeongshik special - I'd had my eye on it for weeks, and I was on a mission to check it out on a recent Saturday. The place was surprisingly empty and we ended up having the place to ourselves, which was most welcome. In a nutshell, their food is legit! The fact that the price of the "Special" meal set seems to have been creeping up regularly is barely a blip because the food is most authentic. The waitstaff was quick, friendly, and attentive, and we didn't have to wait long for food to come out. So...How was the food? - Spicy pork: my only wish is for it to be served hotter, like on a hot plate, but it barely detracts from the delicious pork belly that had just the right amount of sweetness and was mild enough for us. - Spicy mackerel: the chunky radish was so tender and so was the fish. And again, I wouldn't let the "spicy" deter because it was nothing but. - Seaweed soup: the most authentic version I've had of this in a long while, and another knockout. - Side dishes: not that a total of 6 is anything to sneeze at, but each side truly stands on its own. I particularly liked the pan-fried tofu - freshly cooked and so tender. - Rice punch: malty, rice-y, ice-y, sweet perfection, and what a grand finale! I can't wait to go back.

TLDR: tasty banchan and meals with decent portions Tuesday Lunch (12:30pm)Order for 2 ~~~~~FOOD~~~~~ *banchan - good variety, this is the first Korean takeout I've had that gave us a rolled omelette - lots of fish cakes (my favorite!!) - also get bean sprouts, radish kimchi, and cucumber kimchi *lunch special combo ($20.99) - I chose the soft tofu soup, which also had small shrimp and clams in it - soup was tasty and could be a meal on its own with some rice - beef was tender

Really authentic Korean food! Very clean and people here are so nice! Def abide by the COVID guideline and extremely clean service. The outside building seems old but inside is clean and food is clean and fresh! Good meal.

Very nice little mom and pop style Korean restaurant in a quiet part of Tenafly. I read about all the drama about the service here, maybe it was a lucky day or something was done about the person in question but I had a very good experience here overall when I dined in the restaurant. Absolutely no issues with the service and in fact I thought it was far more polite and attentive than what I was used to. In terms of the food, the menu wasn't huge but they did a solid job with the dishes we ordered. The rice cake soup was good and I can't say enough about the tasty soon doo boo. The latter was super flavorful and had a wonderful aroma to it. It was much better than most of the tofu soups I've had in other restaurants. The LA kalbi was decent - not too salty or overly seasoned and the meat was fairly tender. The side dishes were also good. Generally speaking this place has a homey feel and I'm definitely a an of this place. This restaurant was also quite clean and has a little parking area.
I was definitely sad that when we came for a pick up order the place was indeed serving dine in and outdoor seating considering it was a perfect day cold night to be eating good food indoors. My friend and I did a pick up of the bibim nangmyun and sullungtang. The bibim nangmyun was alright, while the sullungtang hit the spot--it wasn't too greasy and my friend finished the last drop, although it could have easily been 2 meals for myself. We ended up eating it in the car right before our drive in movie started. The food was good. It wasn't overly salty and the food felt homey.

Young waitress is a complete wreck. Terrible attitude, looks like the world was against her and she's here to ruin everyone's life so you can be miserable along with her. Aside from that... food is great. Myung Ga Won, please reconsider who you hire... because this one person is turning away your customers or the frequency of your customer visits.

Excellent neighborhood restart with good amount of choices. Includes options for lunch (weekday only) and dinner (weekend only) packages. Side dishes are refillable. Loved the rice juice that they serve at the end of the meal.

Great service. We order spicy beef and bibimpa. The portion is generous and flavor is def there. Lots small dishes before the entree. I will recommend this place.
