"With terrific banchan like pickled ramps, two kinds of kimchi, and white taro root, Wooga is a no-frills modern Korean barbecue spot with multiple beef often with a few flourishes, like, for example, rosemary atop raw meats and artful presentations before the server prepares a meal. The sauces are unusual, too, as is the giant blue toad mascot sitting near the door on a counter." - Melissa McCart, Robert Sietsema

"Located in a strip mall in Fort Lee, Wooga is one of those newfangled Korean barbecue places that incorporates lots of American steakhouse cuts into its traditional menu, and a fragrant sprig of rosemary rides atop the steaks as they are brought to the table. The banchan are different, too, including pickled ramps, two kinds of kimchi, and white taro root." - Caroline Shin, Robert Sietsema

The place was small but cozy. The cuts and the meat were really nice and taste delicious. The cost a little bit high but I guess if you want to go and have a special time with friends may be worth it. However, since it was people waiting outside for a table our waiter was a little bit anxious so, we pay the bill and leave the table, no time for chitchat at all after eating, in case you want to go in a date or so. Also, when we arrived we had to wait 45 minutes to get a table. I don’t know it this is what always happens at night but I just mentioning so people that want to visit this place are aware that this may happen to them. You can not make a reservation ahead so it is what it is when you arrive there. Overall a nice experience.

Absolutely delicious! It was our first time trying KBBQ and the staff, especially Amy, were very helpful explaining all the side dishes and how to order :) The meat was so tender and very high quality, my favorite was the marinated short rib! Even the fresh side dishes and sauces were all prepared in house. If it’s your first time, definitely try this spot! I know it can be intimidating if you’ve never tried it, but they do the cooking for you, tell you when it’s done, and everyone was very polite and helpful! It was a great first time experience for all of us in my party!

Amazing food! Everything was honestly wonderful, super high quality meat compared to the AYCE places nearby. The apps were great also especially the kimchi pancake. It is a little more expensive but I think the meat quality is well worth it We did the 2 orders of the beef for four and pork for four - this is for 8 people and we had so much food!

Just “WOW!” I had dinner at Wooga last night and the food portions, the flavors, the quantity and variety of side dishes, the quality of the cuts of meat….. everything was ‘WOW!’ . But it wasn’t just the food that wowed me - it was the super attentive wait staff - even down to when I accidentally left my reading glasses at the table and one of the staff kindly came running into the parking lot with them for me. Highly recommend !!

Came here for my anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. Here was my experience in WOOGA: For starters… staff were all amazing, attentive and fast! There was always someone coming around checking the grill and on top of that checking on us. We got the Fresh Crescent Duck and was well worth it as it came with the kimchi stew and the steamed egg on the side. The steamed egg was actually pretty fluffy and highly recommend. The WOOGA beef combo came with so much meat it felt like we were in heaven. Lastly, parking lot available. Can be very tight if restaurant is very busy. I would recommend this place to all my friends if they lived in NJ.

Great service but no reservations, so most likely have to wait a little. Reasonably priced but none of the meats really stood out to me. The side dishes were good and the eggs weren’t as fluffy as they looked/were had hoped. Overall a pretty good bbq experience.

I recently visited wooga, and it was an outstanding Korean BBQ experience. The atmosphere was lively, with a modern and clean design that made the space feel welcoming and vibrant. The service was top-notch; the staff was attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with grilling or explaining the dishes. The highlight, of course, was the food. The meat selection was excellent—well-marinated, fresh, and flavorful. The galbi (beef short ribs) and samgyeopsal (pork belly) were particularly delicious. They provided a generous assortment of banchan (side dishes) that were refilled regularly, with favorites like kimchi, pickled radish, and seasoned vegetables adding variety to the meal. I also appreciated the option to cook the meat at the table, making the dining experience interactive and fun. The dipping sauces and the lettuce wraps enhanced the flavors perfectly. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality and quantity of food. Overall, wooga delivers an authentic Korean BBQ experience that’s hard to beat. It’s a perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends or a special occasion. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!!!

This is one of my favorite kbbq place in NY/NJ! The quality of the meats here are really good! The side dishes are very flavorful tasted like the ones I had in Korea. Highly recommend the spicy cold noodle here too.
