JJ DAK

“The best korean american food in town! Try smoked pork belly extra crispy. We ordered corn rice, fried squid, fried wings. Normally we always get wood fried chicken with cheese corn and rice. Everything They is 10/10. People working here is very friendly. The prices are great. They have some parking in the rear as well. An amazing gem to come with friends and enjoy fascinating food. They have so-mac bucket as well. Make sure you try soju with terra. :)”

“Exceptional Food and Truly Compassionate Service! 🍗🍕🍳 ​My partner and I visited JJ DAK this past Sunday for lunch after church. As a Level 5 Local Guide, I look for places that master both the menu and the hospitality and JJ DAK delivered on both. ​The Culinary Highlights: ​Iron Pan Kimchi Fried Rice (with Shrimp): This was a showstopper! Served in a hot iron pan, the rice had that perfect slightly crispy bottom, and the addition of succulent shrimp made it incredibly hearty. It’s a must-order for the table. ​The Wings: We tried the Korean Yangnum Wings, and the crunch was perfection! They have that signature "glass-like" crispiness that stays light and flavorful. ​Snow Garlic Shrimp Pizza: A unique fusion discovery. The savory garlic and fresh shrimp on a perfectly baked crust offered a wonderful balance to the spice of the other dishes. ​Sides: The Squid Fries were fresh, crisp, and the perfect snack to start the meal. ​Service Above and Beyond: The food was great, but the service was unforgettable. During our meal, my partner experienced a sudden nosebleed (Epistaxis). Our server—though I didn't catch her name, was a total hero. She was calm, kind, and immediately helped us with ice and directions to the restroom. Her quick response kept me calm, and she continued to check on us with genuine concern throughout our stay. ​Verdict: Between the perfectly crispy chicken, the savory iron pan rice, and the heartwarming service, JJ DAK has earned two loyal customers. I highly recommend this spot to everyone!”

“Small place with great flavors. We had the soy garlic wings which were delicious and had lots of meat on them. The squid fries were wonderful. The corn cheese was very good just needed something to scoop them up with for which I used the crust from the delicious shrimp pizza. Would come again and again.”

“It’s a place that you need to try if you really like and understand the Korean approach. Everything is crafted and I can say it is pretty close to a 5 stars in quality and flavor. The menu is not designed for celebrities, so I don’t understand why a full well done $13 to $20 dollars dish needs to be done a certain way for some reviewers. This is a Korean restaurant not Kentucky fried chicken, so no room for comparison. I am impressed with the service and also the price. It’s a great bang for the buck here in fort lee. Better than Florida and Denver Korean’s food. I will Def add this one to my favorites and recommend it to friends, Family and co-workers. See you next month on my next trip and great job.”

“This is for the bar, came on a mid-day on a holiday and the bar/restaurant had visible traffic but was comfortable enough to have a conversation with snacks and a drink. The prices are a bit higher for what it is (happy hour prices makes it manageable), the sausage plate isn’t that great (chorizo better than the bratwurst which felt flat and lacked flavor), but there is a variety of beers on tap.”
