We had dinner at So Good while visiting family in New Jersey. At this family-owned restaurant, both the staff and owners were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options on the menu. The restaurant is BYOB and also serves wine. Our party of four ended up ordering edamame, a couple tofu soups, a bottle of wine, and five meats, which we found to be quite filling. The staff was very attentive in helping us cook the meats, which made us feel very well taken care of. All of the food was excellent, especially the meats which were tender and tasted extremely fresh. Overall we had a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants an authentic, feel-good KBBQ experience.

Always our go to spot for Korean BBQ when visiting and hosting our son and friends while at West Point. Was BYOB last time went, beverage store across the street. Always a fun spot for great food and socializing for us.

For a Korean BBQ, this is very predictably good. Rice portion was perfect, Bulgogi portion perfect, sides were VG. Service is prompt, exact and as expected, very Asian-like (smiles typically not included). This is definitely a place you can count on for a good meal.

Was passing through and wanted kbbq for Father's Day. We arrived at around 5:30 and were seated within 15 min, because the parties before us didn't show up; you snooze, you lose. For a family of 4, we ordered the seafood pancake, beef noodles (japchae), an order of bulgogi and kalbi. The quality was really good. The japchae noodles were chewy and flavorful. The seafood pancake was very crispy and full of octopus. The kalbi was of good quality with lots of marbling, and the bulgogi was very tasty. They brought in the steam egg along with the banchan: spicy fish cakes, pickled daikon, cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, soy sprouts, and eggplant. We got seconds without asking. I did, however, had to ask for lettuce, ssamjang, garlic and peppers; they didn't serve rice, which I thought was odd. And they only give you a little squirt of sauce. It's not until they see you eating more that they give you more. Service was a bit slow as our server was managing 4 tables. All the food came out except for the coals to cook our food. This is a first for me on this side of the coast to see live coals for kbbq; most of the time, it's gas stoves. Our server helped us with cooking the meat. The space is large and not crowded. In the end, it was a good place as I was stuffed. It's a bit far to go back, but definitely I'll add it to my Google Maps list for the next time I pass through.

Always order pork belly wherever I am eating Korean fair. This food was excellent. A single diner, the staff made sure I picked a dish that would make me happy and not "over order". Because it was raining the place was basically empty with only a few tables so the staff made sure I was take. Care of. I will be back.

Food wise, what can possibly go wrong with Korean BBQ. Cold noodle.. the noodles are made in house from scratch which is the best part. My dad only goes to eat cold noodle after golf. Service is quick. They cook all the food for you.

Considering that this place is only 15 min away, I was happy about the experience and would come back again. Prices are a bit higher, but again it's more convenient than driving to pal park. Parking lot is in the back, but it's a one way entrance from the right side of the building. Our server was awesome and super sweet to my daughter, even cutting up her meat into smaller pieces. The banchan assortment wasn't bad, and tbh has more assortment than most places these days. I'm admittedly not a huge meat eater so I can't comment on the quality, but seemed good to me and they seem to have every kind: marinated and non. A few minor complaints are that they don't give you lettuce for your meat, they don't have brown/mixed rice, and the place gets super smoky with not the best air ventilations.
