I know I’ve told you about my love for Kimchi Smoke in the past and I’m excited that Owner Rob Cho will soft open his brand new, spacious location in Westwood, NJ on October 12th. Between October 12th and 15th, the soft opening hours will be 12PM – 9PM. The tiny Bergenfield location closed on September 24th….no more eating messing sandwich in the car!!

The menu will be a collaboration between Chef Tim Culvert, former head chef at Park and Orchard, sous chef Victor Oravetz and Rob and will include Smoked Clam Chowder, Smoked Tomato salad with Orange Raspberry Vinaigrette, Gumbo with Brown Rice and Cornbread, Chipotle marinated Chicken with spicy vegetables and cabbage slaw, Kale Jap Chae, Texas Stallion (smoked pork shoulder with sautéed broccoli rabe w gochugaru, sharp provolone cheese on toasted hero) and Apple Crumble with Lemon Ginger sauce.

Kimchi Smoke Pop Up will be Oct 7-8 from 12-9pm. Menu will include newer items or items that aren’t on the regular rotation: Reuben Lee (smoked brisket, smoked kimchi, Fatboy BCS, mozzarella cheese and remoulade on marble rye, Gochu glazed Baby Back Ribs and Smoked Pork Belly on Ramen Buns, 5 Spice Beer Can Chicken w Sautéed Choy Sum and Smoked Kimchi, K-Town Bratwurst, Bourbon Daktori Tang (braised chicken with potatoes).
