50 Best Korean Restaurants near Englewood

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“Absolutely fantastic taste, we already had lunch then saw this bbq chicken we thought of buying it for evening dinner, when the food came its smell/taste made us eat the whole order. Like I said unbelievable taste. Same taste they have in South Korea. Spicy Sweet combination is craving feature.“

“Nice modern Korean restaurant. We ordered Gujeolpan for appetizer, and Neobiani and Branzino sotbap for main dishes. Everything was delicious and neatly plated, but I think they’re a bit overpriced compared to other contemporary Korean restaurants in the area. Bring cash - thank me later.“

“This place is SUPER affordable and the food is amazing ! I have been here twice two days back to back and will probably be going again. They are very nice and the food is very comforting. They change the sides up and it’s always delicious! Imagine all this for 12 bucks!!!! Spicy pork and the other is the beef bento Box“

“I've been coming to this location for around 4 years now. Used to come once a week or so for dinner.

Recently my girlfriend and I decided to dedicate every Wednesday to hotpot, during lunch. Not only is the lunch menu more affordable, it doesn't take away from the experience whatsoever. Whether it's dinner, or lunch, we enjoy this location especially!

For our last few visits, we've came a little bit after opening, and have been sat with Damian as our server. Not only is he very friendly, he's also very patient and polite! Service with Damian is great!

Whenever we need something, hes very quick to get to us, and help us with whatever we need. The drinks he's recommended us, have been awesome as well. -- From what Ive experienced, he's been very understanding and makes sure we're comfortable throughout our stay.

He always takes our finished plates when he makes his rounds, and overall is very pleasant to be served by. I hope our next visits also allow us to be sat with him :)!

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has very spaced out rows of booths, allowing room for a wheelchair to attend a table without getting knocked into, or being in the way in any case.

Lovely to see!“

“After not coming for a long while because of our experience… I am so happy we decided to come back! Damien was our waiter and he was PHENOMENAL!! The last time we came the service was not great, Damien completely changed how we feel about Kpot Englewood. He was very attentive, changed the grill every time it even appeared dirty, refilled waters regularly and checked on us numerous times. He had lots of tables but made us feel like we were the only ones he was taking care of! Food was great!“

“Amazing, unique and delicious food in a very cozy setting. Be prepared to meet your neighbors as you adventure through one delicious plate after another.“

“Amazing experience . Great hospitality and amazing food“

“The food is delicious😊“

“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.“

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

“Great place to decompress, Service is A+.“

“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.“

“so fresh. highly recommend everything on the menu is so good“

“This restaurant specializes in Seoul-style bulgogi, which has a delightful sweetness that really stands out. The service was fantastic, and I especially appreciated the generous refills of banchan, which added to the overall dining experience.“

“Brilliant Korean spread at Cho Dang Gol in midtown Manhatten. Specializes in tofu dishes so we plumped for the spicy tofu hotpot but also ordered some tasty beef and zucchini pancakes and spicy gochujang chicken. This eatery features on the Michelin guide and is always packed, and rightly so! Maybe a little on the sweeter side for my taste but isn’t everything in the USA? 😜 Regardless, it was stupid tasty and we inhaled everything“

“Got the half mozzarella, half beef dog with the potato coating and it hit the spot. Super crispy on the outside, cheesy and juicy on the inside. It is one of those things where you take a bite and immediately want another.

Edit: I wish it came with a full beef dog instead of just half, and the kimchi fries didn’t include enough fries or kimchi for what we paid.“

“Jason and his trainer were amazing!! The food was hot and so quick. All staff were friendly and willing to help. Thank you!!“

“This place is GREAT!

We were craving for some ttukbokki and kimbop, decided to try for a new place.

Their kimbop is delicious, great fillings and well seasoned seaweed.

Ttukbokki came out nice and hot. Rice cake was nicely cooked and seasoned. But come on, look at the boiled egg, it’s not one of those overcooked yolk!!

Ramyun and udon was also delicious, noodles were done jussssssst right. I will admit that I was a little thrown off by mixed greens on ramyun.

Donkatsu was one of the best as well. Pork was just the right amount of thickness and crispy.

I also don’t feel like crap after eating the food there, not over seasoned with high sodium or MSG.

People were also great there, highly highly recommend it!“

“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.“

“All time favorite place to eat authentic traditional Korean food! For many years I know this restaurant, and I came always with family to spend a good time together and enjoy their famous galbi. Love the fantastic food, and plus their new place is so beautiful and big! Thank you!“

“The snow onion chicken was really good , and a good amount of chicken tenders, big pieces, great sauce, also I tried the Mango bingsu it was really decent, the owner is very friendly she made everything front of us very clean, I really recommend to try it“

“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.“

“여기 뒤지게 맛있습니다.. 진짜 짱!!! 강추입니다!!

This chicken was insanely good. Every bite was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, it was so delicious it should be illegal. I've had a lot of chicken in my life, but this one? Next level. Absolute flavor explosion. 10/10 — would fight someone for the last piece.“

“I wish I took a photo before I ate it. But, if you want something clean and delicious to eat for Korean food, this is THE spot to eat at out of the tri-state area. Usually Korean soup based foods tend to have either too much sodium and additives to make the flavor powerful, or not enough to bring the flavor out. Genuinely, you can NEVER go wrong with this place. I got 육개장 칼국수 (Spicy Beef Handmade Noodle Soup), and you can ask to see if you can add dumplings in the soup for extra.“

“Cozy, modern seating area. Menu was not overwhelming. Several dishes are moderate to very spicy, but full of flavor. Great, friendly service; our server gave us specific recommendations to help is choose dinner. Big portions, most of the hot bowl meals could be shared between two people“

“The samplers was fantastic, we tried none with hot sauce, all the the other sauce were sweet, yet very tasty. Crispy fries, my wife had the spicy monster chicken sandwich, and she said it was amazing. The employees were knowledgeable, they said all the chicken is halal, no halal sign, but the employee said it was. I would ask the owners to advertise it. It would be most helpful to many others looking for halal. Either way, I'd recommend this place.“

“We had korean bbq. It was pretty costly, but the meat, as far as I can tell, wasn't cheap meat, so all was good.

They also give you a good variety or banchan and they'll make fried pork belly rice if you leave some pork belly pieces after having the kbbq (add. charge)“

“Wooga really hit the spot. Came in with a group of four and we ordered the Miyazaki Wagyu Rib-Eye, which was unbelievably tender, rich, and buttery. We also ordered the Pork set which came with pork belly, shoulder, jowl, and marinated rib. Each order came Steamed Egg and Kimchi Jigae. The spread of banchan was fresh, varied, and balanced the richness of the meat. They serve beer and Soju as well. The service was attentive and friendly, making sure the grill was handled smoothly without ever feeling rushed. It is walk-in only and usually busy, but the wait is more than worth it for the quality and experience.“

“Kbap & Wings in Midtown Manhattan is the perfect spot for comforting Korean food under $15. The 6-piece soy garlic or snow cheese wings are a must-try for just $12—crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. Don’t miss the chewy rice cake skewers or the hearty bulgogi kimbap. Pair it all with a refreshing Milkis, and you’ve got the perfect meal!“

“Wow!!! Best elevated authentic Korean cuisine I had so far!
Beef tartar with gochujang was so fresh and texture was perfect.
Mushroom Tangsoo was so firm and hit sweet and sour note.
Neobiani Gui (fire grilled steak) was amazing esp with chive & onion mix.
I loved Spicy octopus stir fry with udon noodle. Side dishes that came with were all perfectly seasoned and delicious.
Price was affordable and ambience was elegant.
My brother who tried food here took me here to treat me and it was one of the best Korean food experiences I had in a while.
Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes!“

“Fabulous place to eat! It’s been a place that hasn’t changed in all these years and the service is always top notch here!“

“Customer service, polite and friendly.“

“Great food and service.
I ordered Mul-Naeng Myeon+ BBQ Galbi. It was delicious.
They recently added the kimbap to their menu and it was amazing.
This was my second time and I will be back for a third time. I was able to meet the owner Lee and she is a great person.“

“My family’s go-to spot whenever we’re up in palisades park. The noodles are absolutely amazing, I actually prefer the sujebi over the noodles and it is equally as good. The starters are also good and the side dishes are always fresh, portion sizes are good and definitely worth the price!“

“Jangkalguksu was delicious. The moderately spicy and moderately rich taste of the soybean paste soup went well with the chewy noodles. The soup would have been delicious even when eaten with rice. I didn't add rice because I thought I would be too full. To be strict, I was a little disappointed that jalapenos were used instead of Cheongyang peppers because of the greenish smell of jalapenos, but considering that it is not easy to find Cheongyang peppers here and that jalapenos are an excellent ingredient for adding spiciness, I can fully understand it. It was part.“

“First of all, the food is clean and delicious. The appetizers were oyster pancake, tteokbokki, and shrimp dumplings. The main dishes were galbijjim, samgyetang, gukbap, naengmyeon, and soy sauce marinated crab, and they were all really delicious. It's a good place for family meals and to bring guests.“

“This is a charming place to enjoy authentic Korean food. The presentation of Jjampong was so pleasing to the eye. The noodles and vegetables were perfectly cooked. The fire cooked Galbi was so delicious and full of flavor. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and genuine stuff in their cooking. Friendly owners and love to visit again and again.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Dined here on a recent trip to the city at the suggestion of a foodie friend. And wow…it did not disappoint. Fantastic fried chicken, with so much flavor, incredible pastas and the side dishes were super tasty as well. I love sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartenders. Great service, creative cocktails and just an all
Around great experience in midtown. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼“

“Home of arguably the best wings on planet Earth… and this is coming from a wing snob. The wings are consistently a general size, and always incredibly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The K-Ramen is nice and spicy and delicious! Michin dumplings are a go to dish. The bulgogi and bibimbap and perfectly seasoned, and very tender.“

“SB K-BBQ was recommended to me by a close friend, and it absolutely delivered. After visiting Seoul and Jeju this past April, my family and I had been craving authentic Korean BBQ—and this place brought us right back.

The quality of the meat is outstanding. The moksal (pork neck) and samgyeopsal (pork belly) are cut thick—just as thick, if not thicker, than what we had in Korea. Grilled over real charcoal, the flavor is rich and smoky, enhancing every bite.

They also offer perilla leaves for your ssam wraps, which is a detail I truly appreciate and rarely find at K-BBQ spots in the U.S.

Even though we live in Philadelphia and it’s over a 2-hour drive, we’ve already made the trip twice—that’s how good it is. If you’re craving a taste of Korea, SB K-BBQ is more than worth the journey. Highly recommended!“

“They are known for making their own tofu. Their tofu soup is pretty good. They have this powder, which I think is perilla powder, that gives it a unique broth flavor. Bibimbap is good as well; the pork is marinated very well and is tender. I don't really like the service here tho. I asked which dish do you recommend, and they said everything and just walked me through the items in the menu lol. Food also takes a while to come out.“

“I don’t know if I’ve ever been treated this well at a restaurant. My friends and I feasted like kings. Our server showed us exactly how to compose the most delicious bites imaginable and kept us plied with meat, soju, and beer. We ended up with second helpings of quite a few things on the house and had the time of our lives. If you want to take your friends or family out for a real treat, this is the spot!!!“

“We decided finally to try Koba a newer takeout place in the neighborhood serving Korean food. We ordered two lunchbox sets. On both, we got bulgogi and assorted veggie’s. I went in to order and waited to take it home.
Will send pics of food next time.
All was good.“

“💯/💯 : service and atmosphere 🥰🥰🥰
Delicious food 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 , attentive, efficient, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, has excellent customer service skills, can anticipate customer needs, is quick on their feet, and delivers food promptly with a positive attitude. Amazing owner and staff (tj) 💯 🥰“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“DDOBar recently dropped their ramen menu and it's among the best I've had in Chelsea and throughout NYC. It's right off of the Highline in Olly Olly Market and their service is impeccable. I will be returning for a bowl of their ramen and their salmon yubutart“

“Our favorite spot!
We've been coming here regularly for a long time and can’t recommend it enough. The food is consistently amazing - The quality of the meat is great, the portions are generous and the side dishes and kitchen items always hit the spot.
The atmosphere is cozy and
fun and most importantly Dave and the staff are amazing. They always take such great care of us.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, drinks and an experience that feels like home“

“One of the best Korean tasting menus I’ve had in New York! Love that they highlighted kimchi as a pairing with each dish in different forms. Even the most simple ingredients were prepared in the finest quality and with utmost care (wait till you hear about their soybean paste). The portions were perfect and they also went the extra mile to accommodate dietary restrictions / preferences.

Chef Soogil personally stopped by to describe some of the courses and ask for our thoughts. The cocktails paired well with the food and even the way my glass of whiskey was presented showed the impeccable service we experienced here. I’m looking forward to returning and have been recommending this spot to friends who appreciate unique fine dining menus, beautiful atmosphere and exquisite hospitality.“
