홍반장 팰팍 (Hong Ban Jang) | Korean Chinese Palisades Park, Nj

I think the Tang Su Yuk is fried to crispy perfection and the Seafood Jjampong is deliciously smoky.

The OG Hong Ban Jang. At one time when the other one opened in Fort Lee I thought that one was better but now and days the one in pal park is back to being the best. Skip the one in Fort Lee and come here instead. Very tasty Jjampong.

I usually ordered takeout from this place and food is tasty with good portions. They have lunch specials on weekdays (except holidays) which is a good deal.

Pretty reliable for quality and service. We’ve only been to this location twice but always very good. The menu is slightly different Thank you! the Fort Lee location. We usually share one Jjajang Myun (black bean noodle) and order a bunch of appetizers because the sweet and hour pork is a must for every visit. I also like their ul myun. I don’t like spicy food so can’t speak for any of the jjampong.

I have been here a few times and it always hits the spot. I get the 짜장면 and sweet and sour pork. Can't go wrong with thst in my opinion. I tried the fried kimchi dumplings as well the last time I was there. The outside part is really good and crispy the inside filling is okay. The workers there are friendly as well.

Honestly, this place was way better than Hong Banjang in Fort Lee If you want solid jjajang, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk, go to Hong Banjang in here! And don’t miss their beef jjamppong — seriously a must-try The tangsuyuk was spot on too ”

There's Korean food, Chinese food, and then there's Korean-Chinese food. This particular sub-genre is close to my heart, and whenever I asked friends and acquaintances about where I could find a decent bowl of those unctuous, slippery black bean noodles (called jjajangmyun), most listed Hong Ban Jang close to the tops of their lists. The jjajangmyun here are great. It's a hearty serving and a rich sauce with bits of vegetables and pork. Don't get confused when they plop a scissor next to your bowl - it's to cut the noodles down to size so they're easier to eat. At most Chinese-Korean restaurants, they've smartened up to the power of a mix-and-match menu. Hong Ban Jang has quite a few on the menu, noted in fun Korean portmanteaus like bokjjangmyun (half fried rice, half black bean noodles) or tang jjang myun (half sweet and sour fried pork, half noodles). These are served in clever divided bowls and a good way to get a good portion of two hits. Speaking of hits, my family and I tried two - the aforementioned tang soo yuk, or sweet and sour fried pork, is incredible here. Hot, crispy, and big chunks of meat (as opposed to other restaurants which shall not be named, who have shaved costs by deep frying paper thin bits of pork). It's served with a sweet sauce that has chunks of fruits (peaches? pineapples? We couldn't decide which, but it was delicious). Good as these were, I loved the lajogi even more. Translated as 'stir-fried chicken in hot sauce' on the menu, these are deep fried nuggets of chicken tossed in a zingy, orange pepper-laden sauce. Eat these as soon as they come out, because there's nothing quite like that contrast of fresh-fried crunch with a gooey, spicy sauce. My family and I came on a late Saturday lunch hour and things were hopping in here. Every table was full and there was a bit of a wait (admittedly, we were also a larger party so it took some time to mash tables together). The servers know how to keep up with such rush; even when there seems to be way more tables and customers than staff, they're somehow always there when you need something.

The portions were unbelievably large, and the prices were very reasonable. I was so happy to find such authentic Korean food in the US!
