Reviews of Hwang Bu Ja Restaurant (Restaurant)

Down home, authentic Korean food. Reasonable prices, and generous, attentive, family-run service. Easy on-off location from Route 46 (eastbound). Try them - ask for recommendations from them if you don't know anything about Korean food; they will help you. Healthy and satisfying.

Brian Donlin

Unassuming but really nice restaurant. Food is delish, staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely on the list to go back to.

Have been there quite some years ago, and just went there last week. They have a kind of fixed menu. Not so many customers, but have waiting for almost 40 min. In general the good was good, but the rice in the pot, what happened? The bottom is all burned, so there is quite a lot you can't eat. Wasted a lot! All employees are very serious, no smile on their face, music doesn't fit the restaurant.

Been going to this place for a long time and service has always been ok, but last night the server was borderline rude and never approached the table to ask if we need anything or refill water. He kept playing with his cellphone and never made eye contact. I got up to ask for an extra bowl of rice for 3 people and he told me that rice takes a long time to make and that he can only give me a little bowl of rice. I was not asking him for free rice, I was willing to pay for it but he didn’t even let me finish my sentences. Definitely not going back there. I used to drive 20 miles to eat here but I’m sure I will find a place with better service nearby.

We ate here with friends who are knowledgeable about Korean food and were delighted with their recommendation. The house specialty is tofu soup in various flavors, served boiling hot with a raw egg to be stirred into the soup and cooked while it's still boiling. Very flavorful, very nice. The meal is served with rice and a variety of pickled vegetable. A real find; highly recommended.

Waliul Mizan

Husband and wife couple do all the cooking and serving. Very authentic.

Manoj Aluri

Hmm...Galbi...yumm

David Bailey

It's not open during it's posted hours. If you can't even be trusted to be open during your posted hours how can we trust you to serve decent food on clean plates

We ordered their Soondobu (tofu soup). I ordered #4 (clams) while my buddy ordered #7 (beef). But after many visits and trying most of their menu, our favorite is #1 (a combination of everything). I personally like mine spicy . It definitely has a nice kick to it but will not "hurt" you. But most Americans I've dined with orders mild and they seem to feel that is the perfect balance of spiciness. Another really popular item is their BBQ short ribs. Can you say finger kicking good?!?!! The food is delicious and extremely reasonably priced! However, I have to deduct 1 star for the small appetizers that come with the tofu soups. You get 1 raw egg, 1 small plate of non spicy bean sprouts, 1 small plate of mild Kim chi and 1 small plate of mild cucumbers. Overall, this is a hidden gem in Morris County. Didn't think I'll find a good Korean joint I'd like outside of Queens or Fort Lee.

Jasmine Lee

I love how traditional the restaurant is and their food is delicious!

Jennifer Holak

Bulgogi, jjajangmyeon, ramen, you name it, it's tasty! Delicious food and excellent service. Good for dining in or takeout. Probably the best tasting dishes out of all of the Korean restaurants I've tried in area.

Shawnee Leong

I have been coming to this place bringing family and friends for the last 8 years. Great dishes and authentic. Try the udon and baby squid...very good and unique.

Simone Mir

Interesting

Cynthia Thomas

Their Beef Bulgogi is amazing! I have had other beef bulgogis and found that the the beef bulgogi at Hwang Bu Ja is much sweeter and flavorful than others! I highly recommend!

Ken Wu

Small neighborhood mom and pop Korean tofu pot place

Alice Lee

The food is amazing, hence the 5 stars. The young male server’s attitude is another story. But we keep coming back because the food is that good.

Michael Lee

I love Hwang Bu Ja, I go there once a week. The food is so so good and the owners are wonderful people. You feel welcome No matter what's your background. The Korean beef and the mushroom soup taste great. I don't eat pork but I heard that it's really good. I

My group (6 adults, 1 toddler) came here on a Saturday night. They did not have that many customers at the time. My husband was sitting at one end of the table with our daughter. We asked for a high chair and when the waiter brought it, he placed it close to the other end of the table. My husband moved the high chair closer to him and placed it to the head of the table next to him. When the waiter saw it, he practically yelled at us from across the room saying that the high chair couldn't be there because they needed to walk through there and that was why he placed the high chair on the other end to begin with. We perfectly understood his point and had no problem moving the high chair back, but the manner in which he said it was unacceptable. We decided to let it go and give him a break since we saw only 2 staff - the waiter and a bus boy - working that night and figured he was just exhausted. We placed our order and everything seemed fine. One person from our group arrived a little late and was unable to give her order the same time we did. When we tried to call the waiter to give our friend's order, we could tell by his facial expression and body language that he looked annoyed. Our food finally arrived and the waiter dropped off 2 stone pots with white rice on our table. 4 people ordered food that comes with rice. Waiter never explained that the rice was to be shared by 4 people. He didn't provide small bowls or plates either. By the way, the rice served to us was practically burnt! The quality of food wasn't great either. We go to Fort Lee and Palisades Park a lot and are familiar with good quality Korean/Japanese food. Our experience was just uncomfortable because the waiter seemed irritated the entire time we were there. We witnessed him somewhat yelling at a couple who were sitting at a table meant for a bigger group and told them to move. While the waiter was in the kitchen, another small group came and the bus boy directed them to a table. When the waiter came out, he appeared upset again at the seating arrangement. Definitely won't be back. We actually wanted to go to Bonchon (which was in the same area) but it was crowded so we ended up going to this restaurant. My advice to the management and staff of this establishment: A little polishing on your customer service skills will surely go a long way.

Jakob Boyer

The food and service were above our expectations. We really liked the atmosphere of this place. Nice restaurant to take my family out for dinner.

robert

Food didn't look very appetizing and the flavor was nothing special. Mostly soup type of dishes.

Richard He

My family and I go there once a month. Owners are very friendly, and the food is excellent! Go try it out!

Benny Radjasa

Lots of traditional no frills fares. Do get the BimBim Nap.

Erika Roers

I'm def a fan after my second trip. The soondubu has a homemade taste, not too watery and not too thick. Literally just right. Three banchan, and rice in dolsot for crispy rice at end of meal is perfect for weekday lunch. I'll be back!

Jess M.

This place is so delicious. On a cold winters day the hot pots warm you right up. Always clean and service is good. I recommend this place for a good Korean meal.

Simon Tsang

Friendly service, good food depending on what you order, sometimes dishes take a very long time to come out especially if they're busy

Cora Han

If you love sundubu, this is the place for you! This has the best sundubu I've had. I can't speak to the rest of the menu because I always order one of the many styles of sundubu. When you go to a specialty place, you get the specialty! When you order it they bring out an egg you can crack into your still boiling sundubu at the table and a pot of stone bowl rice still sizzling. The banchan aren't the best but serviceable.

Good home made soon du boo, the father makes the soup base in the morning everyday.

Generous portions, delicious offerings, and exceptional service. Also, even if you order a $10 dish you will still get the kimchi and other pickled vegies as an app. Highly recommend.
