I have visited this restaurant for the first time this month (Sep 2020). I got the menu from the person whom I believe runs this place. We were the only customer in the restaurant (there were no customers waiting in the parking lot as well).Less than a minute after he gave us the menu paper, This person rushed us to make an order, we asked him to give us a minute but he kept rushing. Even while saying the order he kept asking yes next, next then.. and so on!It was annoying! Finally he said that he’ll get the order to parking lot in 15 mins. We waited outside for 25 mins, finally we got the order.Food taste was good. We got a soup and noodles, it tasted good and the quantity was very good. Price was costly.

A hole in the wall korean eatery, but wow! The food is amazing. No. 29, homes style ramen, spicy version, has very unique smokey taste. Caught me off guard but my taste buds were very delighted! The kimchi has a different taste to it, to me its the best kimchi I ever tasted. To me everything seems so traditional, my palette is very happy. Highly recommended. I will return to this establishment as my go to for korean food.

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

Food is pretty good and is considered cheap compared to other Korean restaurants near by.

Spicy pork belly! Sooooo tasty

Favorite resturant of all time, so sad it is closing though, made good memories over the last 10 years i’ve went there, thank you

Definitely the best dubu in the area. Youll notice all the other Korean restaurants in the area went out of business. This is because Hwang Bu Ja has defeated them in the free market.

I love this place. Nice little mom and pop shop. Delicious homemade food prepared fresh. Can’t beat it.

The best Korean food in the area. I love the service, and the food is really good, specially Korean BBQ.

This restaurant is my favorite restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this restaurant. Whenever I want to go to a good meal, this restaurant comes right away to my mind. exeptionalgorgeous and all sorts of food and a rich menu.helpful staff, and good spirit. Not less important, the pay is good. I praise this restaurant with no hesitation.

Always delicious! Get the ribs, this establishment is family owned & you taste the love in the food!

This restaurant is my preferable restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. when I want to go to a good lunchon, this is the place that comes first to my head. good and all kinds of food and a rich menu.well mannered staff members, and good vibes. In addition to that, the price is reasonable. I tell about this place with pleasure.

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.

One of my all time favorite places, especially for soup!!

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 dont know anything about Korean food; they will help you. Healthy and satisfying.

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 Ive 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. Didnt think Ill find a good Korean joint Id like outside of Queens or Fort Lee.

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 cant eat. Wasted a lot! All employees are very serious, no smile on their face, music doesnt fit the restaurant.

Exceptional spot to get something when in a hurry. The customer service is quick, rates are affordable, fantastic ambience. Would recommend to others

I constantly come by getting some food in this place. I enjoyed the prompt service and well prepared dishes. 5 stars from me.

Great food! Very authentic Korean!

The food here is amazing! Highly recommend.

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 whats your background. The Korean beef and the mushroom soup taste great. I dont eat pork but I heard that its really good. I

They have great food. Love their ribs, pork cutlets, soups, just about everything is good. One of my favorite Korean eateries in the area.

Greatest Korean tofu soup in the area

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 its still boiling. Very flavorful, very nice. The meal is served with rice and a variety of pickled vegetable. A real find; highly recommended.

Best korean place within 10 miles of me. Their jjajangmyeon is veryyyy good, just the right amount of salty and sweet, and the noodles are always just right. We usually get the kimchi stew as well because thats my favorite Korean dish and it never disappoints. The jjamppong can be a little better but worth having every once in a while. Budaejigae is also okay but id rather just have the kimchijigae.

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.

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.

The food is great. The service is modernized and very respectful and they can adjust to your needs. Great place to visit.

This is one of the few times I will ever say, Do Not Go There.We were advised by google that this may be a Korean Restaurant that is in the are you are at. My family and I went in and it was 5:00PM and there was only another family there. That was mistake #1. The owner seemed to be on the other side like some kind of bad italian movie where he had some food and reading a newspaper. The order was made, myself and another person ordering what is called bibim naengmyeon which is cold buckwheat noodles that are in a hot pepper sauce, this is different from mul naengmyeon which is the same noodles in a beef broth which is more a soup.When the order came we had a mix of both which surprised us. It was a spice noodle naengmyeon with beef broth (which doesnt really exist, mistake #2). I have eaten at quite a few Korean restaurants from the area Flushing, Manhattan, Fort Lee, Ridgefield, Edison, etc and this was the first time I ever encountered this while ordering this same dish all over. When the other person asked if this was right. The owner immediately took offense, throwing his newspaper to the ground and started shouting Weve been doing this for over 10 years this way It seemed right away that that person seemed offended and clearly it was not the first time someone questioned this. He got right in front of the other person personal space and actually put his finger on the persons chest. That is when the son of the owner who was the waiter/manager had to pull his dad off him. I could not believe this. At this point I had no desire to eat anymore but of anything I ate I found the food to be lacking in any flavour or quality.We left soon after and the son said we had to pay for our meal and charged us full price. The son was also quite disrespectful and said that you came here and ate our food. Seriously he works with his father most likely because he could not find a real job anywhere else with his attitude.We gave zero tip in the credit card section but found out they tried to give themselves a 100% tip. We had to dispute this with the credit card company and was found 100% in our favor.We found their recipe wrong, tasteless, and the atmosphere was not good.

Food is good... Service... Not so good.

Exceptional and delicious food, I loved the ambience the place has, and the cashiers were very nice. Will definitely eat here again.

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

Great Korean place on 46. Great spot. Plenty of parking. Food hits the spot every time. Octopus noodle is large

I dont even like Bimbibop .. but I LOVE their bimbibop. Ive had Bimbibop in NYC in Koreatown etc and all over and I never thought much of it. After trying to converse with the owner and somehow at her suggestion ordering the Bimbibop, I tried theirs and I dont think Ive ever had a better Bimbibop! Now I am a regular.

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.

Food is great here. Service is fast attentive and courteous. I really enjoy this place.

Best Korean BBQ I had! So good that you will want to eat it every weekend!

The food was good. the acoustics are atrocious and make sure you can stay there for one hour. very slow service

Food is great. But they should give more rice.

Good place to have Korean comfort food. Food taste very good and at reasonable prices.

Used to be 5 but they changed their kimchi. Its too sweet now

The beef tofu soup comes with an egg and is delicious. Prices are good too

Food didnt look very appetizing and the flavor was nothing special. Mostly soup type of dishes.

Really good sondobu home style.

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.

Amazing Korean food at affordable price.

Im 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. Ill be back!

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 couldnt 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 friends 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 didnt provide small bowls or plates either. By the way, the rice served to us was practically burnt! The quality of food wasnt 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 wont 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.

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

Excellent family-run Korean. Delicious!

Authentic delicious Korean food. Good service and the owner and servers are courteous and explained the items on the menu.

Hands down the best Korean restaurant weve ever been to. You have to try this place at least once!!!

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

Great local spot. Authentic but not overpowering.

Amazing. Stop here whenever Im in the area. Dumplings, soup, bulgogi, pork belly. Tofu. All good

BRUH. THEIR FOOD SO DANG GOOD. THEIR KIMCHI IS A1. EAT THERE. YOU WONT REGRET IT.

Wonderful, homey, veg friendly, and cheap! One of my favorites

If you love sundubu, this is the place for you! This has the best sundubu Ive had. I cant 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 arent the best but serviceable.

Best quality Korean food. Good job!

Good food & service. I go for the tofu soup ($8.99). Mmm!

In a small, old shopping strip, easy to overlook, but well made and tasty Korean food.

Great authentic Korean food.

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

Incredibly delicious and afforfable!!

Its the best... I live like 45 minutes away but go every chance I can!

Great family run restaurant. Very relaxed atmosphere with really good food.

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!

So disgustingDont go there. Never everThe food is the worst in my life

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

Good Korean food at good prices.

Great Korean food. The service was very good and friendly

I tried half the food on the menu. Excellent food and friendly service.

Love the Popeye roast and tofu mushroom soup. Owners are very friendly.

Good authentic food

Best Korean BBQ on the east coast
