Exceptional Food and Truly Compassionate Service!
My partner and I visited JJ DAK this past Sunday for lunch after church. As a Level 5 Local Guide, I look for places that master both the menu and the hospitality and JJ DAK delivered on both.
The Culinary Highlights:
Iron Pan Kimchi Fried Rice (with Shrimp): This was a showstopper! Served in a hot iron pan, the rice had that perfect slightly crispy bottom, and the addition of succulent shrimp made it incredibly hearty. It’s a must-order for the table.
The Wings: We tried the Korean Yangnum Wings, and the crunch was perfection! They have that signature “glass-like” crispiness that stays light and flavorful.
Snow Garlic Shrimp Pizza: A unique fusion discovery. The savory garlic and fresh shrimp on a perfectly baked crust offered a wonderful balance to the spice of the other dishes.
Sides: The Squid Fries were fresh, crisp, and the perfect snack to start the meal.
Service Above and Beyond:
The food was great, but the service was unforgettable. During our meal, my partner experienced a sudden nosebleed (Epistaxis). Our server—though I didn’t catch her name, was a total hero. She was calm, kind, and immediately helped us with ice and directions to the restroom. Her quick response kept me calm, and she continued to check on us with genuine concern throughout our stay.
Verdict:
Between the perfectly crispy chicken, the savory iron pan rice, and the heartwarming service, JJ DAK has earned two loyal customers. I highly recommend this spot to everyone!

It’s a place that you need to try if you really like and understand the Korean approach. Everything is crafted and I can say it is pretty close to a 5 stars in quality and flavor. The menu is not designed for celebrities, so I don’t understand why a full well done $13 to $20 dollars dish needs to be done a certain way for some reviewers. This is a Korean restaurant not Kentucky fried chicken, so no room for comparison. I am impressed with the service and also the price. It’s a great bang for the buck here in fort lee. Better than Florida and Denver Korean’s food. I will Def add this one to my favorites and recommend it to friends, Family and co-workers. See you next month on my next trip and great job.

Small place with great flavors. We had the soy garlic wings which were delicious and had lots of meat on them. The squid fries were wonderful. The corn cheese was very good just needed something to scoop them up with for which I used the crust from the delicious shrimp pizza.
Would come again and again.

JJ Dak offers a fire wood flavor korean style food. It ranges from Chicken to Pizza and wings. They have a bar area that is nice, but it’s more a place you can wind down with some friends late at night.
I had the mango habanero wings, bulgogi pizza and fries. Flavors are good and unique, but I don’t know if they justify the price point. Dishes are around 20-35$. I didn’t have the alcoholic drinks so I can’t say for that. Place is clean and flavors are good. It’s just the price that kind of hurts for the quality and quantity of food.
Will try again in the future!
Bathroom: It’s clean though the way there is a bit off to the side and the floor isn’t flat. Be careful!

I genuinely love this place and visit often. The service is always wonderful, and the treatment from Mayra and Reña is incredibly personable they truly make every visit feel special.
The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is due to operational consistency. Unfortunately, they’re frequently out of grapefruit juice for my favorite Midnight Breeze, which definitely takes away from the experience. Today, I returned hoping everything would be fully stocked, but they were also out of the ingredients for my favorite truffle fries.
I say this because I care this spot has so much potential to be a consistent 5 star experience. With better inventory management, it absolutely would be.

Service was great, until they forgot about our table by the end of our meal. Food was delicious. The tteokbokki, bulgogi, and pork belly were delicious. Drinks were tasty as well. We will be coming back.

Visited on 7/5. The chicken was tasty, and the atmosphere was lively, though a bit noisy. We had a great time here on Saturday night.
One small thing — there were some food scraps and bones left in the buckets from the previous table, so a quick cleanup between guests would make the experience even better.

Absolutely loved this place! The vibe was super fun and lively — perfect for a night out with friends or family. The oven fried chicken was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every bite had the perfect crunch! They also have an amazing beer selection that pairs perfectly with the food. Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, drinks, and a good time!

Mother’s Day. It had been a while since we enjoyed chicken and beer, and we had a delicious and satisfying meal. The soy garlic and ghost pepper wings were absolutely amazing. Everything was so perfect, it’s easy to understand why the place was packed with customers.

Visited couple times already. Used to have good experience, but today was horrible.
Ordered sweet potato fries and chicken.
It was ok till the fries.
But something wrong with the chicken.
It was stinky and very sour.
Asked for replacement and they said ok.
Waited almost 50 minutes, but didn’t get our chicken.
Asked for what happened and they forgot to make the new one.
Horrible service. They didn’t even check our status.
Very disappointed and may not going back here anymore.
