This is the best Korean restaurant I've ever found in the United States. For me, who had enough experience at various Korean restaurants but never fully satisfied, this place gave me tremendous satisfaction unlike other places. The quality of the food as if it were eaten in Korea was very good, especially Hot spicy meat stew, which was better than the Hot spicy meat stew that was eaten in Korea. *I'm going to visit here again to eat Hot spicy meat stew. Everything from the side dishes to the main dish was great. I also liked the fact that my 4-year-old daughter was provided with a suitable chair and even a fork for her to use. Also, my daughter was satisfied with just the side dishes. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was also in a very comfortable atmosphere to enjoy the meal. When you visit here, you can use free parking on the street.

First time stopping by and food was delicious! I got #16 Soft tofu soup with seafood and husband got #24 Beef soup with scallions and rice noodles. We would have liked more side dish options like we’ve had at other places (fish cake, black beans) but their kimchi was phenomenal. Service is very efficient and simple, just the way we like it. Atmosphere is low key and relaxed. Prices are amazing! Plus they had a high chair and accommodated our stroller. Definitely recommend.

This is a decent restaurant, their food is extremely good but the interior and look of the restaurant need some touch up. It’s not very crowded even during weekend lunch hour, despite having only about 6 tables, we didn’t have to wait at all. The menu is concise, they have rice bowls, soup bowls and few appetizers. We ordered seafood pancake, couple of rice bowl and two of the seafood tofu soup bowls. The pancake was crispy, little over crispy for my liking. Rice bowls looked really nice, ingredients were excellent. The tofu soup had plenty of seafood stuff, soup had great taste. Their mild version is actually really mild, almost white soup. The side items are unlimited, I really liked the kimchi and radish. Overall a great place to have a belly full meal. Food comes out within a short time and service is good too.

Looking for authentic Korean cuisine? Ho Ho is the one in East Rutherford & Rutherford NJ. Everything was so flavorful and I enjoyed every single bite. The staff were nice, helpful and the price is below the average. Will definitely back again.

Amazing food here! while going to the American Dream mall and wanted to eat Korean food. We found this gem! The MUST TRY dish is the SEAFOOD PANCAKE! It's so delicious, crispy, and tasty! This is the best haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) I have never had in NJ. I could never make so crispy pancake at home! Their spicy squid on rice in a hot stone pot was so yummy! I hope this restaurant is closer to where I live!

Simple, straightforward menu with authentic Korean food! Portion size of pork dish is generous vs. Fort Lee/Palisades area restaurants. Kind service and space is clean. Best value/quality :)

Excellent no fuss Korean restaurant with your expected dishes from bibimbap to soondubu. All dishes are as they should be, which means delicious! Generous portions, great prices and just an all around good spot to frequent.
