Kind of expensive for just kimbap (8dollars) and mini soon dae. Everything tasted fine but seriously its JUST kimbap. Also the delivery guy didnt bring enough change to break our bill and so we couldnt tip him (unless we gave a 20dollar for tip) and he even complained about it. Next time make sure delivery drivers have enough change!
Review Source:I've tried much of their menu and have good things to say about it all. Â And ESPECIALLY the DUK BOK KI! Â Unsurpassed. Â Here is where you want to get your duk bok ki. Â It WILL be spicy, it WILL be abundant, it WILL be perfectly chewy, it WILL have adequate amounts of the other stuff (I mean, the goodies -- sliced fishcake, vegetables, clear noodles -- that are mixed in with the rice cakes). Â There's no reason even to try anybody else's, their sauce is just perfect. Â I've been getting this dish repeatedly since they opened (was it around 2006?).
Very clean and well kept -- there's a pleasantness about the warm colors and lighting, the clean surfaces, the je ne sais quoi...  I can't pinpoint it, except to say that the interior is very enjoyable to be in.  A few years ago, during growing season, they had beautiful enormous squashes growing outside the restaurant in a flower bed at the building's façade.  They haven't been back the past one or two summers, but I wish they were. Â
Very nice and efficient servers.
The freshest banchan in the neighborhood, in my opinion. Â Not much variety, not abundant in the quantity of little plates, and not extraordinarily interesting (although every once in a while there's a surprise, tonight there were two surprises!), but absolutely the freshest ingredients I've encountered in the Korean restaurants of Leonia, Fort Lee, and Palisades Park, such that I'm happy to get nearly the same portions each time. Â
And the place is always full of customers, I'd bet its Leonia's liveliest business establishment. Â Open till 10:30pm, long after most of the rest of Leonia has shut the lights.
I usually order from Dok Ka Bi after a business trip because I know they deliver and the quality is consistent. Â The last thing I want to do when getting back from a trip is cook or go out to eat, therefore I call Dok Ka Bi and use what's left on my perdiem ^^. Â FYI, they require at least $20 for delivery.
The kimbap here is really good, really big, but also on the pricey side. Â I've had the kimchijigae which wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Â The noodles for delivery usually don't fair well and end up sticking together. Â I've ordered both the jjajjangmyun and the jolmyun and the noodles were almost unedible - but i was starving from a 6 hour flight so all was consumed. Â The kalbi wasn't great, and tiny for the price but company paid so I couldn't complain much.
The kimbap's what makes this place, but for the price it's tough to buy (with my own money)
This place is like a korean version of a dinner. Â The fact that it has survived in its location for so long where many other restaurants have failed should tell you that it is a good establishment. Â I have always been satisfied with my meal here. Â I usually get Pibinpop, kimpob and dumpling soup.
Prices are very reasonable you can fill yourself for about 10 dollars.
Service is excelent and the people are friendly. Â also very good for take out
. and they give you a small cup of ice cream at the end of your meal. Â very refreshing.
If you want naeng myeon you should go to a naeng myeon place.. if you want sundu bu go to one of those resturants... but if you want a good variety of good korean food at a reasonable price then come here.
A group of friends & I had ordered take out from this restaurant. The food was okay, considering I was starving, but I don't think it's a place I would want to go if I'm craving quick Korean food/bunshik.
The dumplings (mandoo) were way too greasy & lacked in flavor. The chicken wings were tiny and tasted okay.
We may have ordered a few other dishes, but obviously they weren't good enough to have had a lasting impression on me.
Much needed and very necessary. Â A friend and I stopped by for lunch during a NY-NJ-PA church power puff flag football tournament at Overpeck Park. Â My voice was pretty much gone at this point and I need some sweet, sweet Korean soul food to touch me.
The first to abuse me was the "labogi" which is kinda like ddukboki with ramen noodles. Â We asked them to put some cheese in it too, which they obliged (at an $1-$2 extra cost). Â I burned my tongue real nice because it was so hot and it smelled so good and I couldn't allow patience to shield me from the scalding of the delicacy.
To bring some reprieve from the spicy-assness of the labogi, we got some spicy tuna kimbop, which was freshly made on the kimbop setup right by the waiting area, right by the tables, right by us. Â They were stuffed with fresh ingredients straight from the beautiful Garden State ground. Â Hmmm. Â
The Korean side dishes (ban chan) were also delicious! Â I love that moohk (white-ish, clear-ish, gelatin-ish, tofu-like food with soy sauce drizzled) and the side soup was perfect for my dying throat. Â
I also got some more spicy tuna kimbop to go for my girlfriend who plays middle lineback for Joy Church (GO JOY! Â They're confused!) Â and the total cost came out to only $40 including tax and tip. Â I was stuffed and ready to go back and scream some more for the rest of the tournament. Â I'm definitely coming back here again in two weeks when the football resumes on 11/21. Â I will bring friends. Â I will bring a hungrier appetite. Â I wlll bring a camera to capture the Yelptastic moments.
2.5 stars.
This is your typical "bunshik," a smaller-scale Korean restaurant that doesn't offer grilling at your table (and, no, contrary to what white Americans think, Koreans do not barbecue). Â The sign outside advertised "naeng myeon (myun)," a type of cold buckwheat noodle dish. Â We both had the bibim naeng myeon. Â This is the spicy version that is served in a red pepper paste sauce. Â The other version called "mul naeng myeon," is served in a ice-cold broth. Â Our chief complaint was that the noodles were very thin; very similar to angel hair pasta. Â This is not the way it's usually served. Â But then again, who knows? Â Maybe that's they way it's supposed to be made. Â I have no idea. Â I'm just used to the thicker chewy noodles. Â It was a lot easier to eat. Â Also, bibim naengmyeon usually has a slice of pear. Â This one didn't. Â
Kimbap was also ordered. Â This is what Koreans call their version of the Japanese sushi roll (maki) with out the raw fish. Â While it was fairly large in size, the flavor just wasn't there. Â We thought the rice was a bit mushy.
The banchans, complimentary side dishes that accompanies all Korean meals, were disappointing. Â We were given: yellow pickled radish, which is usually served in only Korean-Chinese restaurants; a mayonnaise salad consisting of potatoes, apples, and carrots; and the ubiquitous kimchi. Â That's it. Â It wasn't the number of banchans served that was bothersome, it was more of the type. Â The mayo salad and the pickled radish were quite boring and not tasty. Â This restaurant should really try to serve something more creative.
Pricewise, it was fairly inexpensive. Â I think the total bill for two was $31+tip.
I'm not sure I'll come back here again. Â With the unusual angel hair noodles and substandard banchans, I'll stick with the places in Palisades Park and Fort Lee for good NJ Korean food.
BTW, the restaurant misspelled their name.  It should really read Do Kkae Bi which is the term used to describe a goblin. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDokkaebi&s=5b4237b91c045c3eaaac5f4dcfbf1f03d8a76501435d1a71e9ce6109f92fffc2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/…</a>
