Was Daniel C at Kinyobi a mag?

The flavors are outstanding! The fusion of Korean and Mexican cuisine is amazing. The pork and beef tacos were fantastic. The only downside was that the wings weren't very good. Food: 5/5 View all feedback.

What Jungkhun Byun dislikes about Kinyobi:

Foods are mediocre. Galbi from tacos and chicken from bibimbap were tough. Probably I wouldn't go there again. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 View all feedback.

The Ugly Ramen at Kinyobi might be one of the best foods I have ever eaten. I crave the Ugly Ramen specifically from Kinyobi at the most random times of the day. You can eat their food anytime and all of it is so filling. Definitely is one of my favorite things to eat. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt cozy. The staff were exceptionally friendly. I tried the galbi tacos and kimchi fries, which were fantastic! On my first visit, I ordered the spicy pork tacos, and they were wonderful too. Overall, I’d rate the food a perfect 5/5.

The food tastes even better than it looks! Everything we ordered was so delicious. I highly recommend the KTOWN RAMEN and the KIMCHI FRIES but as I said everything is delicious! The server was so delightful. The atmosphere is vibrant with the paintings, mirrors, colorful plants and trending music playing.Parking: Street parking only

I wish I had ten stomachs so I could eat absolutely everything on this menu. SO GOOD! We don’t live nearby or I would be here every day eating my way through slurp-tastic ramen and scrumptious savory plates

We've been visiting Kinyobi from Manhattan for several years now after discovering it on Yelp one day while at the Bergen Town Center. Now, we make it a point to stop by whenever we're in the area because it's absolutely fantastic! The Ugly Ramen is a standout dish and one of our personal favorites, offering a unique blend of flavors that's hard to find elsewhere. The spicy wings are incredible, and I also really enjoy the spicy pork tacos! If you're feeling adventurous or are a fan of kimchi, you must try the kimchi fries. Overall, you can't go wrong dining here. Plus, the staff is always friendly and very helpful.

The ramen here is quite good—spicy and offered in generous portions. I tried the Ugly Ramen, which isn't a soup but rather a dry dish with a nice nutty flavor that’s quite hearty. I'm not sure I would order it again, as it’s definitely an acquired taste. The restaurant itself is small and clean, and the service is very friendly.

I've been always want it to go in person but never had the opportunity, so I decided to get a delivery, it was incredibly I love everything, for the people who want to try kimchi but not spicy I recommend the fries w kimchi and comes with beef It was a really good experience in my mouth, the fries wasn't greasy, the rice with chicken is delicious, the rice is simple but it contrast with the kimchi chicken and vegetables, everything seems fresh and clean, I hope I can go soon and try more things

Me ' My Husband Came Here Last Week. We Were In The Mood For Some Spicy Noodles. I Seen Pictures On Yelp Of Their Noodles ' Wings And Thought It Looked Delicious. We Arrived And Got Serviced Immediately. We Ordered The K Town Noodles And Wings Half Lemon Pepper Half Spicy. Everything Was Made So Fresh ' Hot. It Was Everything We Wanted. Our Taste Buds Were Satisfied To The Fullest. So Glad I Took A Chance On This Place. Highly Recommended.

Very tasty restaurant. I had the K-Town Ramen, which typically comes with beef broth and meat dumplings but I got the vegetarian version. It was the right amount of spicy for me, and very satisfying. I also had some purple rice, which was both tasty and actually sticky enough to eat with chopsticks. Everyone I was with enjoyed their meals, and we'll be coming back!

Without a doubt, this is the best chicken in Hackensack. The Ugly Ramen is one of my guilty pleasures. I highly recommend you try both!
