ONGA Korean Restaurant

Been here several times and the quality has always been consistent. I really love their soup. The broth is thick and flavorful and the meat is very tender. The purple rice is chewy and goes perfectly with the soup, especially when it soaks up the broth. We also always order the prime braised beef rib. The meat is super tender and well seasoned. We always add cheese on top and there is a small extra charge for that, but it makes the dish so much better.

weekend morning — and it was fantastic! Only $9.99, but the quality was outstanding. The broth was rich and flavorful without being greasy, and it came with plenty of tender beef. Even the kimchi and radish kimchi were fresh and perfectly seasoned. For the price, quality, and care, this place absolutely delivers. 👉 Must-try: Seolleongtang 🍲 👉 Would visit again: Definitely yes 💯

The food was excellent, and all the side dishes were delicious. The service was top-notch as well. Since it's in a shopping center, there was plenty of parking, which was very convenient. I'll definitely come back when I'm in New Jersey again!

Absolutely perfect o-o The food is so good! The staff is so good! It's open 24/7! It's right off the highway! We ordered 3 different dishes, and each one tasted like what they were supposed to be! Made with love, portion-wise n flavor-wise! The side dishes were also delicious! Def will be backkk ^ ~^

While sitting at the restaurant and checking Google reviews to decide what to order, I came across a review mentioning that someone found hair in their food. I joked with my friends, "What if there’s hair in ours too?" and we casually checked our dishes when the food arrived. Unfortunately, it was not a joke. We found hair not once, but three separate times. At first, I stayed quiet because I didn’t want to ruin my friends’ appetites, and I also considered the possibility that it could have been my own hair. However, later, in a piece of meat I was eating, there was a long strand of hair that was clearly human hair, not pork hair. At that point, I felt extremely uncomfortable and disgusted. Additionally, under the small dish containing the green onion side dish, there were visible red pepper flakes stuck underneath. This raised concerns that side dishes might have been reused from other customers or that the dishes were not properly washed. Given these repeated hygiene issues, I strongly believe this restaurant should be subject to an unannounced inspection by the health department.

I dined at Onga a few times and enjoyed their food every time. Today was the first time I ordered for pick up and also the first time ordering 꼬리곰탕 (ox tail soup) + 꼬리추가 (extra ox tail) for an additional $12.99. I understand prices for everything have gone up including ingredients, but $12.99 for 2 pieces of 꼬리추가 (extra ox tail) is insane and so unreasonable.

It’s a crime if you are expecting anything culinary exceptional when you pay $10 for a Korean soul meal served in a hot bowl. I was hesitant to try for several months, and boy I was pleasantly surprised this morning. After devouring the spicy and leek soup during their famous breakfast special, I am proclaiming this is the best recession-proof meal in the town. I was greeted and treated with decent enough hospitality from waitstaff. That was not expected as well because I was paying a Big Mac meal price. Well, now I know what they are capable of and what they are striving for in terms of hospitality, I am so ready to come back during dinner time to fully explore their offering.
