50 Best Korean Restaurants near Englewood

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love this please try the tasting menu with friends so delicious!“

“The food is delicious😊“

“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.“

“The food is delicious and the service remarkably and memorably friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We started with the brussels, which have a sweet vinaigrette dressing and are cooked perfectly. The ribs were meaty, not fatty, with flavorful spicing. The corn and cheese is a surprise --- on the cob, but with chili powder. But the highlight was the kimchi fried rice, a uniquely delicious and satisfying dish topped by a perfectly poached egg. We closed the main courses with seafood kalguksu, a slightly spicy noodle soup with all kinds of seafood. Best seafood broth ever. Period Every other table had the black sesame bread pudding, so we decided to try it. They were right. Don't think about the huge volume of butter involved. All in all, small plates with huge flavors served by a wonderful wait team. Thanks Gurumé.“

“Amazing food and wonderful friendly service. Even our youngest kid found something he liked (soy-ginger chicken wings and they were delicious!) We tried several different tapas and entrées and they were all great.“

“We had dinner reservations with 2 other couples and chose the premium all you can eat option - it is well worth it. Quality and service (our server was Mario) is 10 out of 10. Highly recommend for families and/or friends. Excellent halal option.“

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

“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“

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

“Solid handroll spot from the team behind Mari.

After a great dinner at Mari, I had high hopes for this sister concept. Came in for a late weekday lunch and the counter still had plenty of open seats.

I went with the 5-roll set and a yellowtail sashimi app. Everything was fairly priced and the handrolls were solid, but not the best I’ve had in this range. One detail I loved wasn’t the fish, but the sauces. Every seat came stocked with four house-made options, and the mustard soy and chili soy really added the flavors I wanted for the rolls.

Not sure I’d pick this over some of the city’s lower-cost lunch omakase spots, but if you’re after something more filling than a poke bowl and less of a commitment than omakase, this is a great option.“

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

“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.“

“We went here right when they opened.
The place was very clean and pretty.
We’ve been coming here often for a long time. The food is so delicious that we just keep eating!
The staff are very friendly and come by often to ask if we need anything.
We had a great meal and it made us happy.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I never had food like this before on how it was prepared and im a born and bred New Yorker. Gary the owner is a real stand up guy . I had the Bulgogi in the paper wrap and it was AMAZING. I even went back into the store to let Gary know 1st hand that it was awesome. Thanks again and DEFINATLEY looking foward in having this again.Since I couldn't add another review cause I just came here again for the 2nd day in a row. I'll just add to this review. Gary again shows he's a stand up person . This food is ABSOLUTLY INCREDIBLE. I came here again today and haven't stopped coming since day 1. This is over the 30th time now that I came here“

“I’ve tried this restaurant a couple of times so far. Raw foods, especially crab and shrimp, is not to everyone’s liking, and two people I was with only had the cooked foods as raw shellfish is a health risk for anyone who can’t take the risk (eg pregnant or with autoimmune deficiencies). I didn’t like the spicy crab, just too much spice/sauce overtaking the crab itself. I love the soy marinade though, it’s light yet flavorful. I am really getting accustomed to the texture of the raw crab so I intend to return again. I would love to try the salmon bowl. Staff is friendly and accommodating, I had to change the amount of people for my reservation once at arrival and they accommodated me without a huff or puff.“

“Experienced KPOT for the first time!! It was so good! Definitely would recommend!! Can’t wait to go back!!!“

“Really enjoyed the food from Bloom Chicken.

The small boneless chicken was honestly huge and the chicken was super crispy. The spicy rice cakes were way better than I expected — especially since I don’t usually like rice cakes.

The only thing keeping this from a 5-star review is that it came with no radish, no dipping sauce, nothing on the side.

For $14 for a small order, I’d expect at least some radish, I’d also give up a few pieces of chicken for radish.

Also, it’s definitely more of a take-out spot — the covered patio is nice but not heated, therefore I ate my food in the car since it was cold.

Overall though, really solid food and an easy 4-star meal.“

“Great little fast Korean. You use a marker on a laminated menu and hand it to the cashier. Food was tasty and fresh and came quickly. Moves from crowded to empty due to the efficiently. Enjoyed the Korean bbq chicken with white rice and grilled edamame etc. Was very tasty - two sizes of bowls 24 and 32 oz and I was full even with the smaller one.“

“Ever since the new owners took over, this place has really stepped up! The store is spotless, the BBQ chicken is crispy and fresh, and the lady at the front desk is always so friendly. You can taste and feel the positive changes — definitely the best spot if you’re craving fried chicken!“

“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.“

“The foods (ingredients) is very well prepared and presented.
I am a tough critic about bibimbap; I can definitely say that the dish was very exquisite. The bibimbap plate was composed of quality raw strings of beef and fancy herbs.
A place to return with friends if you wish to impress them with your local culinary knowledge!“

“When my husband and I went there, we were impressed with their decor. It’s so instagrammable! But we were most impressed by the food. My favorite is the Hot Stone Bibimbap with gochujang sauce. I have tried it 3 times now. Once in store and twice for delivery.

I highly recommend this place! It’s one of my favorite Korean restos.“

“KOBA Korean BBQ nails that sweet spot between stylish and cozy — the kind of place where the vibes are right, the grill is hot, and the food seriously delivers. The quality of the meat is standout (the marinated short rib was a favorite), and everything is cooked right at the table for that perfect smoky sear. The banchan was fresh and flavorful, and the dipping sauces added just the right kick. Service was friendly and on point, making the whole experience feel smooth and effortless. If you’re looking for Korean BBQ that’s modern, delicious, and just the right amount of elevated, KOBA’s got you.“

“The first time I ate at this place, I was truly impressed with both the food and the service. My son treated me to lunch and chose this restaurant because of its great reviews—and we definitely didn’t regret it. The food was delicious, and the staff were all friendly and accommodating. We ordered their Wooga Special Combo, and both the pork and beef were excellent—you can really taste the freshness. The steamed egg was cooked to perfection. Definitely worth the money!“

“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.“

“Raon NYC offers one of the most thoughtful Korean tasting experiences in the city. Kimchi is the heart of the menu, not the soloist but a quiet star that adds depth, balance, and beautiful acidity to each course. The aged soy and doenjang from Jeong Kwan bring a deep, earthy flavor that makes every bite memorable.
My favorite dishes were the foie gras mandu with duck broth and the uni and caviar with tofu and winter gamtae. Raon feels like a calm, confident celebration of Korean flavors and tradition.“

“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.“

“Such comforting and delicious soups 🤍 I usually get the dumpling and rice cake soup and it’s hardy and the perfect pick me up after a long day. Their banchan is also immaculate, fresh, and flavorful! Happy to support this small business and will be continuing to order from them 😊“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Tasty hot pots. A lot of beautifully decorated deserts. Wings and rolls are great too“

“Customer service, polite and friendly.“

“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.“

“DDOBAR is the definition of a hidden gem! Tucked away inside Olly Olly Market, this concept comes from the talented team behind the Michelin-starred Joomak Banjum. The $55 set menu is an unbelievable steal, offering value that far surpasses the price point. It’s a massive bargain and worth far more than what’s cost. The food quality was superb, with thoughtful seasoning and presentation that truly hit the spot.

Charcoal 🐶 also enjoyed here since olly olly market is dog friendly! We’ll definitely be back for the main chef tasting set“

“This place has been around for over two years, but I finally got to visit. Honestly, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a Korean spot where even the kimchi impressed me this much. The fresh kimchi tasted just like something my mom would make!

I thought the prices were a bit high compared to spots nearby, but the food was so good that I’m glad I came. After enjoying the gamjatang, I even came back for the ajusshi gukbap because it was that good!“

“Food was great and the service was very good. Surely we will come back and we will recommend the place.“

“Excellent fry on the chicken - you have to wait for it but it’s worth it. Sauces lean heavy, would recommend getting the radish or some other side. The chicken over rice bowl is a scam - $10.99 for a tiny portion of chicken paired with an upsettingly large quantity of rice. Get the regular lunch special instead.
If you’re dining in, prepared to be inundated by a nonstop deluge of K-pop MVs.“

“This is the spot for $12 Korean Fried Chicken! It’s such a good deal and the wings are fat and juicy. The snow cheese is a must order flavor 🤤 We also ordered the kimbap, army stew and rice cake skewers. Great find for casual Korean bites at a good price“

“Saw it on Instagram and had to try — totally worth it 🔥😋 The spicy broth was perfect, not too hot but super flavorful!
Lots of toppings too. The clam kalguksu had tons of clams 🫶 but the noodle portion felt a bit small. Overall, so good! 🍜✨”“

“So clean! I walked in and thought I had walked into a dental office! The owner is very friendly and told me his 15 year experience making dumplings by hand. For home made quality abd taste, the prices were great. They even steam the dumpling for you on the spot so you can have hot, steamy dumplings. I got pork, kimchi pork, and beef chive dumplings and they were perfect. Definitely coming back to pick up frozen ones to enjoy at home!“

“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!“

“By far my fave kbbq spot. The meats are high quality and the servers are always very friendly. Their marinated short ribs and house special spicy pork are my absolute faves. Love how the charcoal flavor gets into the meat. Their mool nengmyun (buckwheat noodles in a cold broth) compliments their bbq meats really well, and their broth is the real deal. The Korean-style beef tartare (over seasoned sushi rice) is phenomenal and my must-eat every time I go.“

“Excellent service good food.“
