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“

“It's such a futuristic way of getting your Korean fried chicken. So simplistic so to the point crunch is phenomenal, And even though it's made to order it's still fast! It reminds me of those individual food dining cubbies/booths for people who like minimal contact/interactions during dining that I've tried in Japan before. A lot of the items that I wanted were sold out but the experience was so well that I will go back again in hopes to get those items ☺️

(I'm not a spicy person but if you are the bokki is perfect for you, to me it was too spicy to enjoy unfortunately, even with the cheese added. But everything else about the bokki was spot on delicious!)“

“While Korean food has become increasingly popular in the U.S. over the past decade, it feels like most options skew toward two extremes: fast food (chicken, 떡복기, ramen, etc.) or rarefied Michelin experiences with impossibly competitive reservations. The Plating offers a much-needed middle ground. All the dishes are readily recognizable to anyone who's grown up with traditional Korean food and flavors, but they're executed in a refined, precise, and intentionally modern way that elevates them a cut above the average Korean restaurant in the suburbs.

I was in a party of 4, and we ordered a dinner course menu. Every plate was delicious, and we were very full when we left.

The chef/owner is the sole cook, so if she is booked for private events, the restaurant closes for the day. To avoid disappointment, CALL AHEAD to check if the restaurant is open. It may feel like a hassle, but I enjoyed my meal enough to feel that the call is worth it.“

“I highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, and the flavors are unforgettable!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely wonderful — hands down one of the best meals of the trip. Every dish we ordered was excellent: the watermelon salad, tuna, mandu, steak and potatoes, tteokbokki, and the sesame bread and butter pudding were all full of flavor and beautifully presented.

I loved the Korean-fusion small-plates concept — creative, shareable and really well executed. The cocktails were also excellent.

We sat at the bar for a 5 p.m. dinner before a 7 p.m. show, and the timing was perfect. Service was sharp, everything came out at just the right pace, and the bar had such a lively, engaging atmosphere with great conversation from the team.

Fun, flavorful, beautifully plated and full of energy. Would absolutely come back.“

“Overall very impressed with the food quality, especially the melt in your mouth tender meats. Appreciate how the meats are halal & no alcohol is served. Prashant is an absolute delight - knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. He and the whole staff made dinner a wonderful experience.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“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“

“3.5 rounded up! We came for the soy marinated crab and were happy with the price, portion, and taste. They do not include the shell but offer a small plate of rice pre-mixed instead. I would also say that their dishes lean on the sweeter side like their seaweed side dish, kimchi, and buckwheat noodles. The server was a bit forgetful and needed a few reminders from us and there seemed to be a team meeting next to our table, which disrupted the atmosphere a bit.“

“Delicious and very well prepared dishes.“

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

“Went for restaurant week and the appetizers and the main courses were all very plentiful and flavorful. The execution was unique but it worked quite well. The desserts were a decent way to end the meal. The flight was a nice experience although theyre more like traditional spirits so make sure thats your cup of tea.“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came to KPOT BBQ for the food and left raving about the entire experience. The food was great, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place like this. But somehow the service was even better. Shoutout to Stella, our server, who absolutely made the night. Attentive, friendly, funny, and on top of everything without ever hovering. She handled our table like a pro and cooked some of our food for us too! , even while I was clearly having the time of my life and probably making a bit of a spectacle of myself. Stella, if you’re reading this, thank you for making an already great meal unforgettable. And if by some chance you felt the same good vibes, feel free to reach out. Either way, KPOT BBQ has a customer for life.“

“We arrived around 7:25 pm Sat night. After a ~25 mins wait time we got a table. From the time food arrived to done eating it was about another 30 mins.

We ordered the beef bbq combo for 4 + seafood pancake + raw beef tartar. All food is good. My fav meat is the next to premium short rib. There are 6 different kinds of side dishes for free. All very nice.

Good place for k bbq.“

“Really delicious corn dog, freshly prepared and perfectly crispy! There was a great selection of sauces to choose from, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can really tell that everything is made fresh.

I definitely recommend Oh K-Dog to anyone looking for a tasty corn dog in Hell’s Kitchen. Thank you for the great food and lovely service! 🌭❤“

“Absolutely delicious! I stopped by for lunch and had such a great experience. The staff were attentive and welcoming, and everything was clean and well-presented. The food and side dishes were flavorful and really suited my taste. Everything tasted fresh and unique—definitely different from other places I’ve tried. Highly recommend!

And the vibe is giving retro vintage Seoul“

“One of the top restaurants in FL/Pal park area. Authentic Seoul. Busy but gracious staff. The spicy pomfret with radish is a creamy, tasty delight. My first taste of oyster kimchi which is dangerously addictive. No reservations but they will seat you quickly - be patient! Update oct 26. Still wonderful. New side dishes since the last time. And for those who love perilla seeds, they have multiple options now!“

“This was a phenomenal experience! Everything we ordered- the marinated crabs, abalone congee, wild shrimp, and grilled pork belly were INCREDIBLY delicious.

Genuinely this meal had me insanely stuffed and satisfied. I went with two other people and we still had some leftovers so everything is very shareable. Flavors are incredible.

Our server, Tenzing, really made the experience memorable. He introduced us to rice punch and was also very friendly and sweet!

Will definitely revisit New York just to come back here.“

“The beet hummus avocado toast was BEST EVER! So fresh and yummy. Healthy portion size, too. The menu is extensive offering many vegan/vegetarian options. Excellent wait staff with a casual vibe. Highly recommended. We’ll be back again!“

“Excellent service good food.“

“Really tasty food and nice banchan assortment! Ask for the lunch specials if you’re there in the middle of the day, and the seafood pancake is a perfect sharing starter- big chunks of seafood and delicious dipping sauce. A great local place in Hell’s Kitchen! Takeout packed up nicely and travels well.“

“Finally tried KAL in Astoria and it did not disappoint! We had the kalbi jjim, yangpoon bibimbap, and soybean stew. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor.

Only managed to get a picture of the galbi because we jumped into the food way too quickly 😂. My wife is Korean, so her approval definitely counts and she loved it! Definitely coming back.“

“Found this place within walking distance of HUMC. It was very small, but clean, more importantly the food was very good! The Wings were on the larger side, while the mozz sticks and corn sides were great. Only drawback was the limited seating area, but the food was good enough to take “To Go”!“

“Simple menu but many selections to choose from. They provides a Free mini seafood pancake if you leave a review. The food was delicious. I had grilled Flounder and kimchi stew. The seafood pancake was crispy and yummy. Such a great dining experience. BTW, the house side dishes were great.“

“The front host was nice, she's sweet and quiet:)
I like the atmosphere, it has low lighting and it's chill, I came in on a rainy day so there werent many people.
The cheese donkatsu is very good, I liked the sauce a lot and its almost as good as the one I ate in Korea.
Overall decent place!“

“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!“

“An amazing and intimate experience with welcoming, friendly staff. The many variations of kimchi were impressive and genuinely fun to explore.

Chef Soogil incorporates an incredible range of flavors into what I found to be substantial and thoughtfully varied portions.

There’s a beautiful interplay between sweet and salty throughout the meal, not only within the kimchi itself, but in how each variation complements and brings out the unique character of each dish.

The foie gras mandu and the mukeunji were so well paired with their respective kimchi, my favorite dish followed by the Galbi. Neither of which are pictured because I was too busy indulging.“

“I had the Beef Bulgogi Japchae. It was very good. The noodles stuck together in clumps, but I was able to shake them apart into bite sized portions easily. The Korean fried chicken wings were excellent. The fire soy garlic sauce has a nice medium spice that complements the flavor of the sauce. This was my first time trying Terra Korean Lager, and I was impressed. It has a light, crisp flavor that worked very well with my food choices. I would be here often if I lived closer.“

“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.“

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

“They were short staffed but the owners were so cute and attentive as possible. We had a larger group and ordered several items which were all delicious. The flavors weren’t extremely different from each other, even the spiciest wasn’t that spicy but the crispy outer layer of the chicken was perfect along with the tiny hint of spice. My personal fav was the galbi kimbab. Please support this local business! They even let us turn on the tv to play the Knicks game. What more can you ask for?“

“Such a beautiful restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. It's definitely a great spot for taking photos, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying a nice meal with family. The service was also excellent. The staff were very polite, friendly, and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.“

“So glad I found this place, this is going straight to my favorites list I will definitely be revisiting. I was looking for a casual neighborhood eat for dinner the other night.

This place specializes in DIY kimbap (rice rolls) or bi bimbap (rice bowls). I did a DIY bulgogi bibimbap bowl. The bowl includes a choice of protein, 5 veggie toppings, choice of rice (brown or white) and choice of sauce.

You can also make it a meal with +$5 which comes with Mandu (chicken, pork, or veggie), salad, AND soup.

The quality and taste was great! I really loved the gochujang dressing it was so tangy and sweet. The Mandu were cooked so well, so crispy and juicy. I love that the portions are also huge!

Really good deal for $20. And the service person was so friendly :)

“I was helped by Rocky who was an exceptional employee. His service was awesome. It was my first time there and his service is why I would return. The food is really good but he made a point to explain things and make recommendations. Is it very attentive as well in the checkout process and educated me on what flavors go well together“

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

“For over a decade I have been searching for the equivalent of a fast casual Korean place from my home to fill my cup in Manhattan, and this was absolute top tier without breaking my wallet. I can't believe this gem exists and so excited it's here.

There are so many options and my kimbap was fresh and flavorful. I really wanted the bulgogi/salmon lunch box, and one of the employees made sure to bring one out for me. I was elated and the gesture was so thoughtful.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious, fresh, and easy on the pocketbook. So many great choices! Their dumplings are fantastic, as is the spicy chicken bowl with glass noodles and many salad/veggie options. Staff are very friendly. Just the place we needed in the neighborhood. (Take out - no seating options)“

“Generous servings of delicious, authentic Korean food at a great price, efficient, attentive and friendly service, in a brightly-lit, spacious yet crowded, canteen-style venue with cheerfully chattering customers... we thought we had been transported back to Korea! We had long been aware that there are good Korean restaurants in Tappan, and now we're sorry that we didn't come sooner.
Hong Ban Jang is not your run-of-the-mill Korean restaurant: its menu is expansive, its offerings unique, its portions massive and its taste inimitable. For appetizers we ordered the Fried Glass Noodle Dumplings and Seafood Scallion Pancake. The dumplings are vegetarian, full of japchae style glass noodles and veggies. The pancake was crispy fried and filled with fresh seafood, esp. chopped squid. My husband and son picked every morsel of the yummy squid bits off the plate :-).
It's rare to find vegetarian cold noodles in a Korean restaurant, as the broth is invariably beef based. When I saw that Hong Ban Jang offered cold noodles in a bean broth, I decided to try them. What I received was not what I expected: the noodles were solid soy bean noodles, instead of the translucent buckwheat noodles. I was given a pot of salt to sprinkle on the noodles, as the dish itself had almost no seasonings. It was a very unusual experience for us (everyone shared some of my dish). The noodles were tasty despite lack of seasoning, the broth was thick, rich and creamy. We all loved it.
My husband ordered the Spicy Seaweed Soup with Oyster and Noodles. My son ordered Spicy Beef Brisket Bibimbap. I had some of the seaweed broth to warm up my stomach. Both reported that their dishes were super nice.
For a spacious dining area with no less than 20 tables, there were only 3 waitresses, but you'd think there was a platoon of them, as they possessed some kind of super power that enabled them to respond to everyone's need immediately, check on the customer's satisfaction multiple times, make recommendations, and offer solutions. Their kitchen must also be staffed with super-powered cooks, as they not only have to meet the demands of the premises, but also fill large quantities of take-out orders.
In short, Hong Ban Jang far exceeded our expectations, and we will for sure come back to try out other items on their menu!“

“First time ordering from here, and it definitely won’t be the last! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and nothing felt overly greasy. We placed our pickup order ahead of time, and it was ready exactly when promised, which made the whole pickup process quick and easy. Parking was easy too.

Overall, a great experience. 10/10 would order again! Definitely one of the better takeout spots around. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“my family visited my aunt who lives in the area for her birthday and we thought to try this place. i’m so glad we did because they had theeeee besssst seafood scallion pancake i’ve ever had and everyone in the group loved it!
i also really liked their banchan and hot tea.
i got their spicy brisket jjampong and i was very happy with my order.
the cooking definitely has a homemade taste to it as if we just went over a family friend’s house which was a nice feeling. the guy even told us there’s no msg in the food.
i would definitely come here again and would go more often if i lived closer 😆“

“If you haven't been to Q Grill in Fort Lee yet, you are seriously missing out. We had an great meal, but a few dishes absolutely stole the show.
The experience started off strong because the banchan was incredibly plentiful, giving us so many great sides to taste. A huge standout was the kimchi, it tasted so fresh yet beautifully and well-fermented, hitting that perfect balance of crunch and tang. For the main event, we opted for the Trinity Wagyu combination, and it was spectacular. The beef was incredibly velvety, rich, and luxurious. To call it tender is an understatement—every single bite practically melted in my mouth, packed with that premium, juicy flavor you only get from high-quality Wagyu cuts.
The JapChae was executed perfectly with that ideal, bouncy chew and a beautifully balanced, savory-sweet sesame soy sauce. We also ordered the spicy rice cakes with cheese, which were the ultimate comfort food—perfectly chewy with just the right amount of kick, smothered in melted, gooey cheese.
Between the generous sides, the cheese-pulled rice cakes, and the top-tier meats from the Trinity combo, Q Grill is officially a favorite. Can't wait to come back!“

“The food is great, it's small but the chicken wings are really tasty. I love going there and getting the Kimchi Pancake.“
