“My brother & his fiance found this place and introduced it to me, and it has become my favorite spot when I’m craving Korean food. This restaurant is located in New Jersey.The restaurant has a classic and homey look.Our server was friendly, and all the food didn’t take long to come out.As K-drama fans, I have been wanting to try Cold Noodle, so when I saw they have it here, I definitely had to try it, and I love it.Their Gan Chajangmyun is also something you have to try if you visit this place. I’ve tried Chajangmyun in many places, and the Chajangmyun here is my favorite.Definitely, I will come back“

“Have been coming here for like a decade and always have a good experience. The portions are huge, and everything I've tried has been consistently good. If you like spicy food, tell them that you promise not to complain about it being too hot, and they'll make it spicy enough to make you sweat but still be good/flavorful.“
“As soon as we got out from the parking lot, we could smell the barbecue. What makes this place special is that they use charcoal instead of gas. The waiter cooks the meat for you. The cooked meat was put on the side so that it wasn't overcooked. I picked beef tongue. Very short cook time because they were thinly sliced. I dipped them in the sauce that came with the order. Rich in umami flavor. The marinated beef and pork was well seasoned and not overly saturated salty soy sauce. They provide several side dishes but the portion was very small. The lettuce was fresh and big, perfect to wrap the meat. I ordered hot Korean tea. Unfortunately, they served the piping hot tea in a plastic jar. High risk of chemical leeching. It's not a BYOB , you can buy beer there“
“Sometimes you have to abandon what you know (burrito, hamburger, lamb kabob) and try something new like bibimbap (pictured) which means mixing of cooked rice with cool stuff mixed in. Seriously though, a few new places have opened up on the block: no knock on Rosy's Taco Bar, but you just might feel more satisfied at Nam Chon (Korean). The hot bowl/pot cooking technique puts their bibimbap dishes over the top. Come down towards the east end of South St. and check it out. The chef/waiter will give you a free appetizer assortment sampler for your enthusiasm.“
“Me and my family really enjoyed coming to this location H Mart in Philadelphia. Very nice and clean stocked with wide variety of fruits and vegetables frozen good. My only dislike was on the variety of fresh products that were made especially with the brown sticky rice with the nuts and raisins.. And also with the mochi frozen and fresh that was not available. Food court was really outdated. Prices were pretty high.“
“Dining in for a birthday party of 10 we ate half of everything on the menu. Spoiler alert: delicious. We had an assortment of bibimbap, each a generous serving of meat and veggies sizzling in the bowl, the Galbi skillet (slow braised short rib) and the veggie Japchae. Let’s not forget pork buns, which got us started.All together the meal was less than $30 per person and absolutely worth it.“
“We love SavoriBowl as our go to spot when we're a bit too lazy or busy to cook, great poke bowls, good flavor, and the owners are super sweet. The last time my husband went in to pick up, they recognized him and recommended their favorite sauce combinations which we will surely try next time. Their poke bowls are solid, ingredients have been fresh and solid, and I like how easy it is to modify and create your own bowl here, and you get a loyalty discount if you use their system. My only comment is probably not a popular one - it's almost too saucey sometimes - but my husband for example, loves the over sauce and he loves their sauce. For me - I generally love ingredients as is, so sometimes the sauce feels like it overpowers the natural flavor of the vegetables or ingredients - but I do agree that the sauce is delicious! My guess it he majority of people like a very saucey bowl, and I'm the exception. We have also tried their chicken katsu - which was very well made, well fried, to perfection. I hope for the best success of SavoriBowl and will continue supporting them“

“A great casual Korean spot in the spring garden! They have many lunch specials and lunch boxes, appetizers, noodles, rice, soup, and rice balls (to go). I personally really liked the flavors of the soup and was satisfied! A few tables are available for seating but can be filled up quickly. The cashier and other staff were very friendly as well!“
“My husband and I had a pleasant lunch here the other day. We were immediately greeted and the staff explained the menu to us both. It was very clean and service was efficient. I really enjoyed my soup, the broth had a good amount of spice without being overwhelming. My husband also loved his sushi rolls and finished everything, no leftovers! We definitely recommend eating at Mari Mari, and will most likely return someday.“
“Wow! What a beautiful restaurant modeled after traditional Korean buildings! The restaurant was spacious, lots of booth seating, potentially great for large parties, free parking lot.The soon tofu dishes were fresh and delicious..the hot herbal tea was a nice touch.Highly recommended!“
“Had a perfect experience with my fiancée i looked at reviews here good and bad ive seen none of the bad reviews being right the food was amazing the service was amazing perfect had a good life and was very helpful in helping me understand the food how it mix and what goes together gave good recommendations and not every place does this right but help loads with my allergies and carter so well to it for the price was so worth it me and my fiance was so stuffed recommend a drink that was really nice as well i will say hands down best Korean food id ever had“
“Oh my oh my, such a great culinary experience last night. We love Asian food, and were in the mood for some Korean this time. I didn't want Korean BBQ so that limited some of our options. We got there around 7:45pm and it was still a 20 min wait. No reservations , so first come first served. Ambiance : Nice, cozy, casual setting and the restaurant was adequately staffed - I only say that because I've been to places over the last 2 years where places have been severely understaffed. ++ Appetizers : Fried potstickers. Perfect. Good blend of veggies and the right level of crispiness. A slow dunk or bath in the soy sauce made for a great beginning to our meal. Mains++ now the fun stuff begins La Galbi - this was the marinated beef ribs in the house sauce. It came on a sizzling plate. The spices and taste was subtle. The pieces were chopped finely and was an easy going first bite of the entrees. Jeyuk Dubu Kimchi - Marinated pork loin and kimchi, stir fried with hot pepper and dobu. By the time this dish came, we realized that we were starting to get filled and we had ordered too much. My wife claims that it was intentional and she wanted to box them and eat during the week. This dish was how you'd expect it to be. The pork and the kimchi was a perfect blend. The dobu was so tender and soft, probably will make me rethink my dislike for tofu. We asked for super spicy. Jeyuk Dolpan Bibimbap - Probably the best dish we ordered. Stir fried spicy pork over vegetables served with rice on a pot. If rice did not contain so many carbs, I'd have loved to eat this dish more frequently. With that being said, I loved the way our server prepped this for us. She mixed the pork, veggies and the rice to deliver a well balanced blend of the final dish. The rice was moist, the pork was juicy and well marinated delivering a totally sublime dish. Oh, and the pre-apprtizers (kimchi, fish, egg, salad, and some meat) was also delicious. I'd totally recommend this place to anyone who likes a good Korean meal.“
“Nice little establishment in the Berlin auction. I had the Mozzarella Corn Dog with spicy mayo and it was the best Korean corn dog I’ve ever had. I’ve had a few in NYC and another locally, but this one took the cake! The service was also so incredibly friendly!“
“Mouth watering corn dogs that wont make you want one of those sad county fair corn dogs. The variety and texure and cheese and the batter!....ugh its all like food crack and dont expect to do much if you eat kore than one cuz you will need a nap. The egg toast is unique as well and the flavors marry so well in your mouth. I recommend the ramen dog with mozzarella, and the original k dog along with the bacon egg toast and the ham and cheese egg toast.....I CANNOT LEAVE OUT THAT LEMONADE SLUSHIE! IT WAS DELICIOUS!“
“Fantastic place inside on the Philadelphia Hmart food court.Their combo deals for 13 are great and they throw 12 rolls of your choice at you, with you choosing the three types of four that you get. The inari are fantastic too, and while the price is a tad high for a food court place, I feel like the quality is good enough to warrant it. Definitely more American style rolls for sure (mayo and katsu and so on) but delicious all the same!The rolls that cost extra are pretty huge, I'd definitely order those again, despite the added cost. You can see how big they are compared to the normal smaller rolls on the side in my photo!I come here on the frequent, and I can never complain about the food!“
“Love this place! Food is good. Definitely try the wings with the secret spicy sauce! But the house made chips are excellent also. The "adult" juice pouches will have you feeling like a kid again ! My favorite is the green tea pitcher. If you wanna sing your heart out or just chill at the bar this place can help you with both.Wheelchair accessibility: There is none.“
“Definitely a hidden gem! I got a recommendation to visit Jopok Topokki, but when I searched it up, the Korea locations showed up first!We ended up with enough food to serve a small army since there were so many things to try along with the tteokbokki- the portions were generous and VERY filling. Everything in the Handmade Fried Set was perfectly crispy and not greasy, and the Fish Cake Skewers are a great add-on if you're extra hungry (we were stuffed).Heard someone call in to place a takeout catering order and I might have to steal that idea to get a party tray of Rosé Topokki for my next potluck...“
“Cool spot! We visited 1225Raw with a friend after visiting the Philly Flower Show nearby and had a good time. Prices were a tad high, and they were out of some options we wanted to try, but overall service was fast and the food solid. Would come back.“
“First time ever at kpot our waitress was so kind, so patient. I loved they had pictures of tasty sauces yu could make to go with the food. The kimchi was sooooo good & the spicy beef. We got drink on the way out & loved the bartender.“
“You know how you find a restaurant that’s a hidden gem and you want to be your secret forever but you also want their business to thrive? Yeah, this is one of those places. The food is soooo good! They give wonderful portions and the best part is it isn’t expensive at all!I ordered the grilled chicken rice bowl with soy ginger sauce and I couldn’t stay away until I was overstuffed. This place is heaven on 11st. GIVE IT A TRY!“
“The only reason I’ve been going here since 2008 is for the wings—I kid you not; I violently crave them, at least once a month.Cons-- Probably the worst customer service, the servers aren’t very attentive to the customers.- the music is super loud- quite pricey, for everything on the menu.“
“this place is awesome, i enjoyed it a lot id definitely go here again, even though i dont think i did well with cooking the food, but I can't really blame the restaurant for that, because I'm just generally not a very good cook. everything they did to actually help prepare me for cooking the meal was done well.i especially appreciate the fact that i was able to get a fork when asked. i have dexterity issues due to dyspraxia so i tend to do poorly with chopsticks, and im glad i was given a fork when asked without anyone being condescending to me (something that has happened in the past before), so that makes this a great experience in my book!All in all I'd definitely recommend“
“currently writing this review while eating… hehe. amazing food and service. we got the sweet and sour pork and shrimp and the black bean noodles. omggggg so delicious and the portions were HUGE. plus our waitress was super sweet!!! will be coming again :)))“
“Great Korean food! The pig neck bone hotpot is so good and we order everytime. If you have extra stomach, also order the pig strotter. Eat as is or stew with the hot pot, either way tastes so good! The restaurant is not the most decorated, but the food is definitely top-notch“
“Christmas Day Dinner at So Korean Grill Restaurant.Absolutely pleasant surprise! Amazing food quality and portions!! Not to mention that their service was phenomenal!!!There were 7 of us(6 Adults and a child) entered at around 4pm and the restaurant wasn't busy at the time but soon after, all tables were filled w/customers. Lucky us! We ordered 6 portions of Pork Galbi and Naengmyun(cold noodle), a few minutes later Pork Galbi w/side dish sets hit the table and all of us were just...'WOW'....the portion and taste were way beyond our expectations. Throughout the dinner, a young male server and a lady(maybe the owner..)kept us feel super comfortable and served all the extra items promptly. We will definitely go back and try other Korean BBQ soon.“
“I seriosuly drove 40 minutes more only to eat in here rather than going to other hmart. There Jjam-bbong is more like a Gyo'dong style, which has a very deep and smooth soup, loved their noodle and Tang-soo-yook as well.I highly recommend Kongnamul Gochu Jjam-bbong.It's a truly great tasting party. Gyodong Jjamppong has been well researched and the soup has a strong aroma and taste, but it's not too irritating or irritating and has a high level of taste bb.“
“I'm korean and I leaved America 4 yes and I tried so many korean restaurants but this is the best ever even I would love to say better than Korea I really recommend this restaurants you won't regret and the owner and worker is so kind and nice “
“We ordered take out and our order was made very quickly. The chicken is delicious and crispy! (Though not the crispiest Korean fried chicken we've had). We ordered the honey garlic and soy garlic and I preferred the honey garlic slightly more. We preferred the wings over the boneless. I wasn't expecting to love the sweet potato fries but I did!“
“This Korean restaurant is an absolute gem, deserving of a solid five stars! The authenticity of the cuisine shines through in every dish, delivering a true taste of Korea. From the savory bulgogi to the flavorful kimchi, each bite is a delightful experience. The ambiance is inviting, with a blend of traditional and modern elements, creating a perfect setting for a Korean dining experience. The attentive staff adds to the positive atmosphere, offering helpful suggestions and ensuring a pleasant meal. Whether you're a Korean cuisine enthusiast or a newcomer, this restaurant is a must-visit for its exceptional flavors and warm hospitality.“
“The quality is out of this world.. I had prawns with the rest of my options and it was so good especially if you know how to make sauces you get to make your own sauce it is a BYOB if you would like alcoholic beverages it is not offered in the menu but the food options is immaculate“
“I'm so glad this restaurant is here! This is like the only Korean restaurant in Philadelphia, other than dubu in north Philly and a couple of spots in west Philly. It's probably the best Korean restaurant that is really close to my area. The gamja tang was really good!!!“
“Searching for places to eat in the local area and this place popped up. I don't normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. Cutest little spot with amazing food. Their cheesy corn is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! Also the service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. Our waiter Jin was so kind to us and made our entire night. :) Just annoyed I had to share it lol.“
“What a charming little rice cake shop near the H-Mart in Elkins Park! I've stopped in multiple times to pick up some rice cakes as snacks or ingredients for cooking, and they're usually quite tasty. The people working there don't speak much English, but they're very friendly and sweet. Always a nice spot to stop by for some soft rice cake goodness!“
“Absolutely amazing. The fried chicken and dumplings are my personal favorites, but I have tried most things on the menu and I can tell that everything is made with precision and care. The customer service here is immaculate too. Enthusiastic workers and authentic food!! What more could you ask for? I always look forward to coming here after school?“
“Ordered the cheese ddeok-boki and will be going back for more! Wowzers it hit the spot real good.. I have been craving this for a long time.. probably due to K-drama binge watching.. and went to a few spots nearby, even traversed to Philly. This was soo good. The ddeok was cooked perfectly! Soft and slightly gooey. The spice was just enough to break a sweat but not enough to stop and drink water the whole time to get rid of taste. Will have to try the chicken next time too but with the cheese ddeokboki for sure!“
“One of my favorite Korean restaurants for 3 years now, always good options and price, service is good. I love their bbq and hotpot option so much. They are the special hook, I tried their sashimi and it was clean and fresh too. Definitely recommend because their meat quality and food in general is really good and flavorful.“
“You know the Korean food is gonna slap when there's no forks, just chopsticks. Authentic and delicious! We got the beef fried rice and beef bulgogi. Great portion size and awesome flavors. Really friendly service and nice, quiet ambiance.“
