Korean Food 101:

"Sundubu jjigae is a hot and spicy jjigae (Korean stew) made with uncurdled dubu (tofu), seafood (oysters, clams and shrimp are common ingredients), vegetables, mushrooms, onion, scallions, and gochujang or gochu garu (chili powder) in Korean cuisine. A raw egg is put in the jjigae while it is still boiling. This dish is eaten with a bowl of cooked white rice and several banchan (side dishes)." ~Wiki

I've been going to this place ever since my family moved to NJ, and it is definitely one of the better Korean restaurants in Fort Lee. Unfortunately, their prices has gone up significantly in the last few years, but nevertheless, their business still remains as robust as ever.

Oyster Sundubu jjigae

The simplicity of their menu (a total of 10 items) makes ordering quick and easy. The only item on the menu that is not a tofu dish is the Korean BBQ ribs, a great dish to share as an appetizer (or for the carnivores: as an entrée). I always get their oyster tofu (medium hot) - the savory taste of the oysters and spicy tofu is like Korean comfort food - both hearty and gratifying.

Their side dishes are decent - just the general kimchi (spicy cabbage), bean sprouts, and other veggies to munch on. I particulary like their spicy cucumbers (hint: you can always ask for seconds).


Overall: 3/5
