Eastern Kitchen — Restaurant in Englewood Cliffs

I like the idea of a Mexican-Korean fusion restaurant , but this place really missed the mark.

Cons :

The Bulgogi Taco lacked flavor and seasoning. The toppings were mindlessly added on top. There was no direction to the dish. Would love it if they added kimchi and really tried to marry the two cuisines together. The tortilla was not fresh and it was not warm. Just because you put Bulgogi in a tortilla, it does not make it a taco.

2.) Bulgogi sliders also lacked flavor and seasoning. There was no need for the radish - would love it if they put more creativity to this dish. Kimchi and spicy Mayo would of made it pop. Also the meat and brioche was not warm nor fresh.

No place to sit down and eat. We had to walk across the street and eat outside the firehouse.

Pros : The fries were fresh...

Amazing place, fast and friendly service, and great food. If you haven't had Korean food, this is a good place to try. The bulgogi tacos were incredible! Zesty, tangy, a slight sweetness, a little heat that isn't overwhelming, the texture of the pickled radish with the vegetables and the flavor of the marinated beef all comes together beautifully. It fills you up but doesn't leave you feeling heavy. The ingredients all taste fresh and wholesome and gives you an authentic and nourishing feeling. The zing wings were awesome, they are marinated overnight in buttermilk and armoratics and the flavor shows, the wings were juicy and flavorful on the inside and with the zing sauce gives you that back and forth between sweet and sour but it doesn't take away from the chicken itself. Its...

An absolute gem. I pass this place all the time but tbh was kind of confused by how they've marketed themselves, and didn't feel inclined to go inside. One day in a rush, I forgot that the store wasn't a bagel shop anymore and went to pick up a bagel, but instead left with delicious authentic Korean food. I just get their pre-prepared foods and their banchan (side dishes). Everything I've tried has been delicious, and very fairly priced. I haven't tried the fusion stuff yet, but judging by the other reviews, guess I'll have to give that a go as well! Whether you're looking for authentic Korean or more fusion offerings, they've got...
