My family enjoys going here regularly. The food is delicious. We always order the seafood tofu stew, barbecue combo A, and budae jjigae. The service made the experience even better with kind and helpful waiters.

My friend and I had a great experience at Keo Ku Restaurant on a late Sunday afternoon. The Gamjatang was mild (not spicy), making it very easy to enjoy. It also included a nice variety of cuts, so every bite felt balanced and satisfying. The Ddukbaegi Bulgogi was slightly sweet with very flavorful meat. The glass noodles were perfectly cooked—not soggy at all, with a great chewy texture. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They kept an eye on our water and refilled it promptly, which made us feel well taken care of. They also checked in regularly to ask how the food was and if we needed more side dishes. Overall, both the food and service were excellent. It was a truly enjoyable late lunch, and I would definitely come back again!

I was craving some Korean food and I had saved this restaurant a few weeks ago. I was so shocked that it was empty when I went to go pick up my food. The food was excellent. I got so many side dishes. Some I’ve tried for the first time and others I have had before. Hopefully it’s because it was 4pm on a Wednesday and not because it’s usually this empty. I got ttukbaegi bulgogi for the first time since the description made it sound so flavorful. It was as flavorful as I was expecting and I got a good amount of beef and the soup is enough to last me two meals. I loved that they packaged the noodles separately so they wouldn’t get overcooked by the time I got home. I do wish it had a bit more rice cakes but that’s just my preference. I’ll be back to try more dishes.

Amazing kbbq spot! The restaurant was very homely – the music was a nice volume, and the server was really accommodating. I went Friday and even with the weekend rush, the service was quick and there wasn’t any issues flagging down a server. Our table ordered the galbi, bulgogi, and fish combination platter (it was totally enough for two people). The server cooked the food in front of us, and let us know when the meat was fully cooked. Lastly, don’t forget to order a nice appetizer like the scallion pancake or the corn cheese. Plus they also have mixed drinks so no need to BYOB.

The Garden State is home to some of the most vibrant Korean enclaves in the country, namely in Bergen County: Fort Lee, Palisades Park, Leonia, and onward. Korean barbecue, often referred to as KBBQ or (고기구이) gogi-gui (meaning grilled meat in Korean), is unlike any traditional American barbecue one’s ever had. Marinated and seasoned meats—thinly sliced pork belly, bulgogi (marinated beef; translates to “fire meat”), and short ribs—are charred to perfection on a grill plate right in front of customers, making for a perfect interactive dining experience. With origins dating back about 2000 years, it’s certainly growing recently in popularity among non-Korean communities in the US. It is meant to be a collective experience where some of us attended an Elite event thanks to Sara and the Yelp team. Upon arrival at Keo Ku Restaurant right off of Route 46 in Parsippany as a first-timer, one finds a beautiful fish pond and classic Korean BBQ tables, where we were greeted by the staff. The menu is extensive, offering everything from fried chicken and tofu pots to BBQ platters. Assorted appetizers (Mandu dumplings, Kaenip Jeon, Tteokbokki skewers, and Gimbap) started our meal.
