50 Best Korean Restaurants near Englewood Cliffs

“Always a great meal. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Owner is very nice and always making sure everything is to satisfaction. Very clean and sanitary. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“집에서 만든것 같은 음식의맛!!!이죠! 외국인에게도 더많이 사랑받아서 한국음식을 알릴수있는 무지개잔치집이길 바래요!*^^*“

“Food is excellent, service is good and polite, atmosphere is gentle peaceful and clean. I highly recommend here, especially parties for 10-50 ppl.“

“Seems like a great place for fresh sashimi and seafood lovers.

I have a shellfish issue myself but that didn’t stop us from trying their omakase selection for two.

For anyone else who may not be able to have shellfish, note that their cheese corn, spicy casserole, Japanese seafood pancake, the hand rolls, all have shrimp. They were able to remove shrimp only from the casserole but not the hand rolls. And of course there are many dishes with oysters/mussels.

They have their own lot with a decent amount of parking. Also looks like they have a few offerings for people who aren’t into seafood.“

“Came here as a party of 4, ordered 4 mains, 2 starters and 1 side to share. Everything came out quick and was devoured. 2 in our party were full, 2 (guys) could've ordered more. FYI, the turn around for each table is only 1.5 hrs which can be a little short/tight for bigger parties“

“Amazing experience . Great hospitality and amazing food“

“We went for a Friday dinner, and although it was just the two of us, we managed to try three dishes — and they were all fantastic!
* Soy Scallop with Gim Rice: The scallops were fresh and tender, with a delightful jelly-like texture, and the rice was perfectly soft and flavorful.
* Rose Tteokbokki: As a big fan of rice cakes, I loved this dish! The sauce was rich and complemented the rice cakes beautifully.
* Seoul Salon Fried Chicken: An absolute must-try! The chicken was juicy, with a crispy, thin coating that was just perfect.
We can’t wait for our next visit!“

“very good food excellent service great bbq fj“

“Loved our dinner. Sat at the counter and completely enjoyed the experience.“

“Really good food. Unique service and prices are the best. I totally recommend if you want a real Korean bbq. I travel from Connecticut to flushing NY totally worth it.“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“My friend and I made a reservation for Gurumé at 7pm on a Saturday. I would recommend making a reservation if you are dining around this time, as it was packed! However, the crowd had dissipated by 8:30pm, so if you're looking for a later evening bite, it's definitely slower. I would also recommend not dining at peak hours because it was so loud. Decor is your average, upscale vibes, but the tables are really close together to maximize the amount of people in the space.

We ordered crispy corn and cheese ($14), oyster mushroom taco ($17), berkshire kimchi fried rice ($19), scallop crudo ($19), and pork & radish "bossam" ($19). We also ordered the black sesame bread pudding for dessert ($11). Overall, the food was flavored well and tasty. You're paying entree prices for appetizer portions, but it makes sense for the location. If I came back, I would skip the kimchi fried rice and scallop crudo. The fried rice was nothing special, and I have had better experiences with simpler ingredients; the scallop crudo was overpowered by the other flavors, losing the taste of the scallop. The bossam was so moist and juicy, with fantastic natural flavoring, though the other components did enhance the flavor. I would only recommend the corn if you are a corn lover and none of the other appetizers appeal to you. The mushroom taco had a great combination of flavors and the spice kick was mild. If you're a dessert person, the bread pudding was delectable, great black sesame flavor and the bread was also moist.

Service was outstanding. We were originally seated next to a large party, and they later moved us to a table further away where it was quieter. There were many checkbacks throughout the evening, and they definitely make you feel like you are valued as a customer. I would recommend Gurumé for a fancy night out and people in your party can talk loudly.“

“Moono is an absolute gem! The galbi jjim is unforgettable—perfectly tender, fall-off-the-bone beef braised in this rich, savory sauce that’s both comforting and packed with flavor. It’s seriously one of the best versions I’ve ever had. And then there’s the Pyongyang cold noodles, which are refreshing, delicate, and incredibly well-balanced. The cold broth is light yet flavorful, and the noodles have just the right chew. If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors with a sophisticated twist, Moono should be at the top of your list. This place truly celebrates Korean cuisine, and I couldn’t recommend it enough!“

“Definitely one of the best hot pot places in NYC! Love coming here with friends and my partner. It’s affordable, with great options to choose from and the service is great! The servers are friendly and very helpful. Plus, their smoothies are great so it’s definitely a plus. Would recommend!!“

“Beautiful it an amazing place and genesis is my dream car the bloom tonic was amazing all the cars are so cute the staff is amazing never had the food to expensive without knowing how it truly taste but the overall car experience is so worth checking out if u are in ny“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“This is the todo spicy Kim chi hot pot & The rice cakes with vegetables and Tofu“

“Best of Gam Ja Tang!!!“

“First time here, took train from Nj. A fun experience with meats being grilled at your table, everything was delicious, including the side dishes and condiments. Will definitely return!“

“Wow! Everything was exceptional at Olle.

-Service was fantastic
-Ban Chans were soooo fresh and the best I’ve had when dining out compared to other Korean restaurants I’ve been to
-Quality of the food was 10/10

Cannot wait to come back to try the rest of the menu“

“Great times and great ambience!“

“This place is across the street from Penn Station. I was pleasantly surprised to try it for the first time on Saturday where the happy hour lasted all day! Greatly priced drinks and food. I was surprised to see my beloved Mala Hotpot for $25 that serves 2-3 people. I heard from the manager that things are constantly changing at this place since they opened on February ‘24, but I’m looking forward to interacting with the amicable staff again during my next visit. This place is a hidden gem. The manager’s put a lot of thought into it!“

“I've had the privilege to dine in many amazing restaurants around the globe and even privately in the kitchen of some famous chefs. I can say with absolute authority that this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Absolutely amazing from first bite to last! Make sure to opt-in for the savory beignet as well. It was superlative. I'll be envious of anyone getting to dine here until I have a chance to come back again!“

“Went on a Wednesday night at around 7 PM and was super busy! Filled with mainly younger people and the vibe was extremely nice. We got the beef tartare, chapaguri fried rice, soy-glazed bossam, and the frozen makgeolli for dessert! Only got a picture of the beef tartare and chapaguri :(, but everything was good nonetheless.

We did find the garlic bossam a bit too oily for our liking but it was good and finished all our plates. The service was great - I noticed that there were probably a lot of reservations as servers were quick to clear off empty tables and set them up for the next guests. Would highly recommend and I would go back to try some other dishes!“

“Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The ambiance is good, servers are very attentive and professional. One of the worker there was so nice she helped us decide which drinks to try lol. The food was excellent. I really enjoyed dining there! Will definitely come back!“

“Food was amazing!!! My new go to bulgogi spot in NYC! The pajeon was excellent and crispy, and the bulgogi was perfectly seasoned. The egg at the end was also delicious. Ganjang Gejang was a pass though. However, I always think the measure of a good Korean restaurant is their kimchi, and I can safely say that their kimchi is fire.“

“Plenty of parking, good food, good vibes.“

“Overall, the food was tasty, the grilled chicken feet was a bit too spicy for some people. The portion was pretty satisfying. The only thing is that they included taxes in the total but didn't indicate that on the bill, so I calculated the tips based on the total, which means I gave extra tips…“

“Found this place by coincidence, but it turns out to be one of the best handroll places I visited in NYC. The restaurant is structured as bar seatings. Every handroll was made and served one.

The rice was well seasoned, and every roll was delicious. The menu was a bit limited, but that also makes it very simple and friendly for someone who doesn't know what to order on their first visit.

The price was moderate. If you are a fan of handrolls, you should give it a try.“

“First of all, boss? The staff is so friendly, and most of all, the food tastes great and the amount is amazing!!
I was so full that I had leftovers, and the meat piled up like a mountain. The taste is the same or even better than what you get in Korea!!!!!!! I definitely recommend it to Koreans!!!❤️“

“Was good, great that they have multiple floors. We got seated right away. The beef was great. The prime ribeye was yum. The only negative was the Japchae. It had a butane flavor to the dish that was quite strong.
Service was nice though. Never had someone cook my bbq before, even in Seoul!“

“Everything was so good! You can really taste the difference in their handmade tofu.
Be prepared to wait for a seat. I recommend going to put your name down first before doing anything else around the area. We had to wait 1 hour so it was definitely smarter for us if we did our shopping after we started queuing.“

“Truly exceptional. We have done the downstairs tasting seating prior, and it was fantastic, but this review is for the bar tasting upstairs. I had the nonalcoholic wine pairing, and I’m usually a bit disappointed at other places, but in this case I was blown away. Each of the dishes or something special and unique, with so much craft and care put into each. The amuse bouche or first course is out of this world.“

“A must visit. Missing my time in Korea, this brought me back. Nuff said. I think a family runs it as I saw elderly couple going around working. Felt like eating a family members house.

Extremely high on value for what you pay.

Unlimited side entrees. They call em side dishes but they're legit small casseroles that some restaurants charge 10 bucks or more for.

The meat was all high quality and tasted super tender.

Service was like Korea. Attentive, kind, quick.

Portions were huge and everyone had a food baby afterwards.“

“The food was delicious , service and staff were so attentive and accommodating , conveniently located a few blocks from Time Square .It is definitely a must in your next visit to NY .“

“Went tonight for dinner with friends and our server Susie was truly incredible and attentive alongside the other support staff to make sure we had everything we needed and a great experience.
The food itself was all excellent and we had a solid variety of the different meats as part of the Classic AYCE menu, but the marinated hangar steak was especially great.
Would definitely come back here since this seems to be the prominent AYCE spot in the area.“

“this has become one of my fav korean restaurants in the city. every dish was so amazing. you must get the galbi jjim! the meat comes right off the bone. the sauce goes so well with it. everything was so delicious. definitely come with a group of friends so you can try more dishes! their cocktails are also delicious. if needed, some can be made into mocktails. can’t wait to come back!“

“I stopped by Felpak on purpose to come to Snack Nara. There are so many menu items I want to eat. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. May you prosper!!

Vegetarian options: Kimbap, soba, tteokbokki

Kid-friendliness: There are various menus that children like.“

“Phenomenal. I can’t get over how sweet the lady who attended us was. This is the first restaurant I’ve been to where i felt as if the food was truly made with love. The food itself was absolutely delicious, and the price was very reasonable. My friend and I ordered the fried chicken, tteokbokki, and bulgogi kimbap. The portions were perfect, we finished ALL of it (and licked our fingers clean). Their plates are also so cute if I may add. I will definitely bring all of my friends here when they visit Teaneck.“

“Situated in a tranquil neighborhood near Fort Lee, NJ, this restaurant offers a delightful dining experience that feels like a hidden gem. The beef short ribs were a standout, cooked to perfection with a tenderness that melts in the mouth. The sauce and seasoning complemented the meat impeccably, adding depth without overpowering the natural flavors. Equally impressive were the cold noodles, which brought a refreshing and unique combination of flavors and textures, making for an ideal contrast to the rich short ribs. Visiting on a quiet Sunday afternoon, I found the atmosphere serene and the service attentive and courteous. This is a spot well worth a visit for those seeking exceptional Korean cuisine in a relaxed setting.“

“This food Court has Korean food for under $12. Everything is pre made. You can warm the food up in the microwave. There are tables to eat at. We got beef bulgogi , fish cake, kimbap and tokayi. It was a decent meal for the price“

“I loved everything within my experience at HYUN! Service is excellent, food is excellent and the environment is awesome! I anticipate coming back as soon as possible.“

“Planned on taking a bite and keep the rest for dinner but… just couldn’t get enough. Ended up eating it in one go while walking to a park. Asked for less rice and it was just perfect for me. The fillings were generous, I ordered the Ninja Yummy Stick.

Best $14 I’ve spent in NYC so far. Will get it again if I ever were in the area again.“

“Great for celiacs as you can have gluten free bibimbap!

Food is really good and while it's not true traditional bibimbap (no stone bowl which means the rice doesn't get the same crunch) the flavour was bang on and it's a good portion as well. Could use a smidge more protein. Veggies were delicious.

Great service as well.“

“Dweji-gomtang (pork bone broth soup) is really smooth and clear. You could taste the richness of the pork while drinking the broth. The pork is slicing into really thin slices and it goes really well with the gochu-ji. The spicyness balances the greasy taste of the pork. The side dish kimchi radish is crisp and balanced the whole dish. The restaurant is a little bit small and doesn’t have a lot of space, but definitely worth a try for its pork broth soup“

“On my last trip to New York, I looked for a good restaurant before taking the cruise.
I came here and it was really delicious haha. The portions were generous so I ate until I was full and they were friendly. I ate 3 pieces of pork and kimchi fried rice (spam added) ? ? ? ?“

“This was a pretty nice spot for a quick dinner of authentic Korean food. The atmosphere is very homey and the service is friendly. The options are a bit limited and several things on the menu weren't available when we went, but the noodles we did have were pretty good“

“Very delicious?The ingredients are very fresh! The kimchi is amazing! ! ! I have never tasted such fresh and delicious kimchi! The grilled eel is delicious, fresh and not fishy, ​​charred on the outside and tender on the inside, very good! The lettuce is very fresh, especially the perilla leaves, which are fresh and clean and great! ! !“

“Our family's go-to Korean chicken place!! It never disappoints us. The chicken is always perfectly crispy and light. ???

With so many incredible flavors to choose from, we always go for the half & half option. Our favorites are the "Soy Garlic" that is sweet and savory(my son's fav) and "Cheesling(my fav)"!! coated with a light dusting of cheesy goodness that melts in your mouth.

If you're a fan of loaded fries, you need to try the Cheesling Fries. They' are topped with the same delicious cheese powder as the chicken, and when you drizzle their secret sauce on top...omg..this combination is so addictive! ?You will find it hard to stop eating. Must try!!“

“We had our lunch here in Auust 2014. We ordered the Korean tofu soup and bibimbap with oyster. The food was perfectly cooked and the service was friendly. It was like home cooking, and the favor would not overpower the taste. The price was reasonable. Will definitely return for this genuine Korean cooking.“
