that sucks… i was hoping they would open soon.
Their web page now says, “Now Hiring”.
There’s a sign in the window says ‘Now Hiring’. From what I can see peering in they look 2-4 weeks from opening. Somebody spent some money on the build out.
My experience is that looking 2-3 weeks from opening means at least six months.
Sign in the window says ‘We’re Open’. Seems like just 3 weeks ago I posted about this place.

Just spoke to them on the phone. They said they are not doing delivery yet and when they do they are thinking only within 5 miles. Oh well, that puts me outside their radius. I wonder if the kitchen is up to speed.
.
I have no idea why you think this. Unless they have picked up the restaurant that I actually saw and moved it, they are on Route 9 and Union Hill Road in the Shop-Rite plaza in Marlboro.
Well, that’s much worse. Darn, I guess I was so excited to have a Korean place in my backyard I thought they were going into the empty spot in the other strip mall. Tyvm for the correction ( and ruining my Asian food fantasy ).
So, the lure of KFC had me stopping to get take out on my way home yesterday. I got 6 hot wings and six soy garlic ones. I also got a 4 taco assortment.
First off this is not a fine dining restaurant, more like a Jimmy Johns in layout. I couldn’t care less as long as the food’s good, but, for instance, it might be hard to do a HoDown with more than six people there. Second, it seems like one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing. The menu on their website shows a 4 taco for $15 deal, which is why I ordered four, but they charged me by the piece instead and I paid a few dollars more. Also online is the tacos, all preset with certain meats and toppings. The in store paper menu told me I could have made a bunch of different choices from the type of tortilla to my choice of toppings.
The food was good to very good. The wings, especially the Korean Hot Wings were better than those at Mogo in AP, and the tacos were on par with them. Even sitting in the take out container for a while, the food was still very good and that says a lot, especially with wings. Looks like Bulbap Grill is on my list of fairly nearby take out joints now.
I wonder if this is because the pricing et al is different in Marlboro from their original Brooklyn store.
It sounds good but we may wait a couple of weeks until they sort themselves out. (It’s difficult to judge a restaurant that’s just opened.)
Well - we went for lunch today. About 1 or so… wasn’t crowded but it was busy. A few people dining in - quite a bit of takeout. For the record, the manager (owner?) told me they are ‘thinking about’ delivery.
It was a cold & blustery day & I was in the mood for something spicy so I had the spicy chicken rice bowl. Jul had the vegetarian rice bowl with egg, seaweed & avocado. They were both good to very good. The chicken was spicy enough to make my eyes sweat. Jul’s thing was tasty also although not spicy. Lots of flavor. Both came with a little cup of kimchee which was also good. We both liked it and I bet we’ll go there again.
Next time - they have a bunch of sort of ala-carte things which I’m going to have.
Pricing is reasonable for what you get. A buck a wing kills me though. I just can’t do it.
Especially since it’s probably a buck a half wing, or $2 a wing.
Even worse.
So - we liked it enough the first time to go back last night. Fish taco - very good; Galbi Burger - excellent; Dolsot - good but needed a little something… Wings were good but the Yangyum Sauce was a real sticky mess & not spicy as promised. I’ll try soy/garlic next time.
Not the most mind blowing wings in the world, but a pretty good value can be found here if you’re in the area:
The he-man group hit this place tonight. I think if we asked for some spicier versions, the kitchen might have worked with us. I also don’t like paying a buck a wing so this place has a good monday/Tuesday special menu.
I forgot to mention, Bulbap has delivery now.
Stopped into Bulbap today and had a Galbi Bowl and Chicken Jaeyuk along with some wings. Fresh ingredients and tasted good.

That looks yummy!
Now I really want you to try the KFC at Kimchi Mama in AP and let us know how it compares!

We’ve been to Bulbap a few times. In general, I don’t care for bowls. However, Mr. R. does like having them and was pleased with Bulbap’s short rib bowl. As for me, being a sucker for things deep fried, I liked the fried dumplings and the Korean fried chicken wings. (Mr. R. liked both of those, too.)

I don’t care for bowls much either. Wanted to try the basics and they were good but didn’t wow me. Maybe, no rice and extra everything else would do it.
