Gilmok, The Corner Place

Really good korean food. Better than 99% of places in pal park and fort lee.

Friendly service. The portions for kimchi-jigae and tofu soup are huge. The kimchi-jigae had lots of pork and kimchi and came in a big stone pot. The tofu soup had a lot of tofu in it (like 4/5 of the soup was tofu), which is generous but also made it a bit bland. The seafood one has a good amount of seafood in it besides shrimp. The rice had a healthy blend of black wild rice. The sides were fresh and delicious. They do have a tv, which the staff was watching a Korean science documentary on. They have complimentary coffee at the entrance also. The parking lot is behind the restaurant.

I went there with my boss during lunch to try their specials.  This place is Korean Korean Korean.  If you are interested in very simple Korean dishes with different battered and fried vegetables (modeum jeon) and fried or grilled fish, and bean paste soup, then go for it.  It was pretty awesome.  I thought it tasted fresh, authentic and true to Korean heritage.

I did not try their BBQ so cannot speak of the quality but if it is good as their lunch menu then I'm sure it will be good.  It's kind of far from where I am so not sure if I will return but would recommend for those who are seeking authentic Korean experience in Closter.
