Probably the best 냉면 place in NJ this far. Dumplings take time bit worth it.

This noodle place is very reminiscent of simple noodle places in Seoul. No frills, just good eats. It is a small but popular place, but people do not stay long. So, even in the middle of dinner, wait is probably only about 15 minutes. And it is well worth it.

I really want some kimbap and wish they would let me add rice cake discs to my soup, not even as an up charge. We ordered the kimchi soft tofu #44, spicy chicken soup with veggies #26 and the tteokbokki #7. $47.95. The waiter brought us out some barley tea and then the banchans after we placed our order. The banchans: kimchi, radish kimchi, pickled radish and cabbage with dressing. The kimchi, radish kimchi and the pickled radish are all nice and fresh and crunchy. Not in love with the cabbage and dressing, as there’s not much to it. The barley tea is good, nice flavor to the brew. The spicy chicken soup has a lot of shredded chicken in it, broth is a bit spicy too. Had some burdock and a ton of scallions in it, those two make up the veggies in the soup. The kimchi tofu was quite good, much better than my spicy chicken soup. The tteokbokki was a bit more sweet, decent spice to it. The rice cakes were a bit too soft for my preference, but at least they weren’t mushy. The radish kimchi was my favorite part of our dinner tonight, then the kimchi soft tofu soup, the kimchi was okay, as was the pickled radish too. The best service was from the busboy, he was much more attentive and nicer than the two other staffers.

My friends and I were searching for good restaurants that were open on New Year's Day. The original restaurant for pho, that we wanted to go to was not open. Yelp showed that Halmae Noodle had pretty great reviews and they were already open at the time, so we decided to check it out. Our party of 7 got there at around noon and there was maybe one other person/couple dining there. The place isn't very big but we still felt socially distanced since the larger table we were at was on one side of the room, and the rest of the small tables on the other, and those each had partitions in between them. The menu is mainly noodles in soup, with the exception of a few rice dishes and their appetizers. To start, they brought us out each a small cabbage salad with a light ginger dressing, which was a nice start to the meal. They also brought some super fresh banchan (which they kept filled) of kimchi, kimchi daikon, and this other daikon in some type of sesame oil marinade (?), which I really liked. For appetizers, here is everything we ordered: Fried dumplings - these were great. They were crispy but not too oily. You have a choice of beef or chicken and we went with the beef. It comes with 10 per order Seafood pancake - pretty good but I don't remember there being whole lot of seafood in there Kimchi pancake - I didn't love this one - I think the kimchi made it a bit soggy For my main, I had the handmade noodles with fish cake. The broth was great and it was very soothing after a late NYE night. I was afraid it would be too fishy or too dashi-like but it was perfect. The noodles were just okay to me but that's because I don't love doughy/chewy noodles. These were thick little square sheets that almost reminded me of the texture of those thick wonton wrappers. By the way, these bowls of noodles are HUGE and are probably enough for two people. My friend got the clam soup and I was amazed at the number of clams she was fishing out of her bowl. We each ordered our own and we all had a full quart container to take home. My husband was the only one who didn't get noodles. He had the kimchi fried rice, and you can't really go wrong with that. Definitely want to come back to try some of their other soups but next time, I'll get the regular noodles. Still, I'm glad Halmae Noodle was our first meal for the New Year.

All waitresses were kind and sweet. I ordered a Gopchang soup and really big portion. After I asked her check, she asked me want to wrap it up before I asked her to do. Felt comfortable to eat and delicious.

small, simple, and clean little place. food is pretty good, the soy marinated crab is definitely really good. The cold buckwheat noodles however was lacking in flavor. The broth was boring without any flavor, and the noodles were soggy. The banchans were however amazing and plentiful

Nothing seasonal about this place. Just another generic korean restaurant with a different name. Ordered chadol dish that was about 22 or 23 dollars, literally they must take about 3-5 chadol strips, chop it up and the rest is cabbage and sookju(bean sprouts?). What a rip off. Anyways, nothing special, just average. Why 2 stars? Chadol dish was a big disappointment..

My go-to restaurant for outdoor dining and a great meal always. Price is just right, portions are more than enough, and love the fact that it isn't over seasoned like many other places. Their side dishes are simple and healthy like seaweed and broccoli, kimchee, bean sprouts and tofu. I am a big fan of their cold noodles, grilled mackerel and intestine soup. It's conveniently located next to a coffee shop also for post meal shake up.

This place is a hidden gem. I really liked their boodaejjigae. I wanted it a little more spicy and she brought out more peppers and spring onions to put into the broth. I thought that's very thoughtful of her. Their radish kimchi is absolutely amazing. Their kimchi is not good but that was fine for me. Boodaejjigae has a lot of spam and sausage links. It could have more tofu but overall really good.

Lovely temporary outdoor seating area! Staff are nice and seating feels intimate even though it is located in the middle of a parking lot. Orderer a couple of dishes, but my favorite was charcoal grilled squid!

I think they make real soup base not vegetable broth, beef broth from costco or supplier. I wanna recommend this korean restaurant to my American friend who want to visit palisades park to taste Korean food. They have variety authentic Korean food with reasonable price. I'll continue to come back here to try other Korean food because I'm so picky in Korean food.

Absolutely love this place. If you're looking for delicious authentic korean food, this is your spot. The chef is well known and highly regarded around the area - his doenjang Jjigae is amazing. My go-to spot!

Naeng Myun and Bi Bim Naeng Myun was pretty good, definitely coming back. Noodles were the right kind thin and elastic "you know what i mean", just the way naeng myun should be. I don't even like cutting the noddles when they ask. the broth is tasty and not too sour. It was a little salty but just add a little bit of water and you good to go. the combo with pork makes it a pretty hefty lunch or dinner. I do want to try other food here.
