Very good food and the staff are friendly and helpful. Speedy service with a good amount of options. Macaroni and cheese is bomb.

I BBQ and smoke meats at home but don't always feel like doing a 12hr brisket cook. Saw this place nearby and figured to give it a try. The Korean fixings on top of traditional BBQ went great. Got the brisket sandwich and it was delicious. Corn bread was really good too.Was expecting to order takeout but ended up sitting inside. They but had a decent amount of tables. It also had table service which was unexpected. Service was excellent and really appreciated the conversation and genuine help. Definitely will be going back.

While it's set up more like a take out place we Dinned inn and the ambiance adds to the experience, with a welcoming atmosphere and great service. My whole family went and the kids loved the koran ribs!Prepare your taste buds for BBQ bliss! The menu offers BBQ classics alongside innovative korean twists which make the whole exprience unique. Whether you're craving fall-off-the-bone ribs, tender brisket, they have it !Parking was tricky because you have to pay for street parking and there aren't many spots.We will be back for sure the food was exceptional.

Ribs with sweet gochujang sauce are the best. They are very kind. Wish I lived nearby because I would order those ribs weekly. Yum!

Kimchi Smoke BBQ is small & worth it. The ribs with sweet gochujang sauce are delicious. The Austin Cho 1.0 sandwich is also very yummy.

I miss the location in Westwood but this is definitely not far for me. But even if it was far it would absolutely be worth the drive. Absolutely fantastic brisket! Everything else is great too, but the brisket is an eleven out of ten!

I've been wanting to try this place out and it did not disappoint! Brisket was super tasty, ribs were tender but held together, and the sausage was killer. I really enjoyed the mac and cheese and the cornbread was super moist. The only thing I wasn't crazy about were the empanadas, but my friends really liked them so it's a matter of personal taste. I think the collards and slaw were okay, I might try something new next time. Overall it's a great place to try - super friendly staff, too.

Chef Cho is in a league on his own. He is masterful and what he cooks. You can see the passion he has for his cooking in his food. I’ve been there twice and every time he has hit the mark. I cannot wait to go back and enjoy something new. Thank you Chef I had a great time.

We got take out and the food was ok at best. The empanadas tasted like leftover meat, ribs were very dry, brisket was ok and chorizo decent. The wings were good and the fries were flavorful.

First order in a long time and my last. Food was cold. Not even close to fresh. No effort whatsoever to even pretend it wasn't sitting around for hours or microwaved. $6 fries an absolute embarrassment. Soggy, cold, and just outright awful.

The truck was at the Paramus Food Truck Festival over the weekend.Hubby's cousin is a picky eater, but he loved the Brisket Sandwich. Which says a lot :)I got the Corn Bread and Carolina Bowl. I loved the Carolina Bowl, meaty, and the slaw was delicious, and I'm not a slaw person. My order was to go, so I ate it later and it was delicious. I will have to try it freshly made in the brick and mortar location. The Corn Bread was too dry for my taste, I had to warm it up and smothered it with butter to eat it...Will have to go to the brick and mortar location soon!

Paid $16.00 for a brisket sandwich. It was like a slider on a potato roll. Tasty I must admit but.... Smallest $16 dollar sandwich I ever had, not worth it IMO. Expected a little more for $16 bucks. Maybe if I was at an airport I would understand. My buddy got fries a brisket sandwich and a coke $30.00.Turned me off big time. I understand inflation but this is ridiculous. Wish I would have thought of taking a picture of the sandwich. Literally 3 bites to eat the sandwich.
