Korean BBQ - So Moon Nan Jip


So Moon Nan Jip: Korean for "astoundingly yummy".

Despite living in NJ for three years we really have done a poor job of exploring the culinary options here.  We often end up eating out in NY instead of NJ, but we have found a couple of great places and one of them has the best Korean BBQ.  A friend who also lives in NJ recommended So Moon Nan Jip in Palisades Park and it does not disappoint.  The restaurant has an off-putting papered-over storefront, but inside is a nicely and cozy, and has tables with with charcoal grills in them.  They stay open until 3 am so they are a good option for a late night meal.  We've been there a number of times and everything has been delicious—even the mysterious souffles and fried fish that turn up some times without asking.  We've had nearly all the BBQ dishes and they're all good, but the best is really the kalbi (they do a good marinade).  I'm a fan of dumplings and the seafood pancakes, particularly the oyster pancakes.

So Moon Nan Jip makes you look this satisifed every time.
