50 Best Korean Restaurants in Fort Lee

“This place has both Korean BBQ grill and traditional Korean dishes. Actually it has a surprisingly wide selection of traditional Korean dishes despite the name. Interior is nicer than most others. Service was great (they grill it for you table side). Parking available. Lunch specials too. Very comfortable and delicious spot. I will be back!“

“Place is quite nice. My friends enjoyed their meals very much. It is a bit tough finding vegetarian dishes here and I wish the restaurant kept at least one or two large vegetarian dishes that arent pork/beef broth based. However, this may already be known to people before they come in, so shouldn't detract from the review. Ambiance and service were great!“

“Food is great! Authentic Korean food😍😍“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We were traveling through Jersey and this was our to-go spot for breakfast with the kids. Service is wonderful and the food is so hearty, clean, and DELICIOUS. When traveling it's always very greasy foods- this is a perfect place to get a good healthy bite to eat. 10/10 recommend!“

“I met a friend for breakfast and submitted two menu items for dinner.
The food tasted better than I expected, but while I was eating the soup I ordered, I felt a bit uncomfortable feeling the thin sand chewing on the rice.
I was halfway through eating it because I couldn't eat it anymore so I threw it away.
I enjoyed the dogani soup and beef stew, but while eating the soup, I felt the crunchy feeling of sand that I felt from the siraegi...
Ha... it was really bad.ㅠㅠ
I think it would be a good idea to wash the rice cooker more thoroughly.“

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

“Really good dumplings! A lot of places leave me sick after eating dumplings. Especially store bought frozen ones. These are both amazing in quality and taste. I love their shrimp and kimchi pork dumplings. I need to try the rest. You can buy them freshly steamed or frozen.“

“5/5 Chadol Sullungtang -- probably one of the best ones in the NY/NJ area !! So flavorful, piping hot, and very generous portion of beef and noodles!

5/5 Kimchi and Kkakdugi Banchan

5/5 Grilled Mackerel - cooked to flakey and tender perfection!

4.5/5 Jokbal -- very tender and loved the dipping sauces with the flavor of the pork trotters“

“This place is a gem…the best neng myun - better than some I’ve had in Korea. And their ribs rock too. They give you hot broth with the cold noodles too. And it tastes legit. Don’t go to the place in front of Kings spa thinking it’s a chain. I made that mistake and the food is entirely different. The dining room stops taking orders at 8:40 because they close at 9.“

“Great experience, awesome food, and the staff are super friendly. The atmosphere is very chill and they're open late. The owner even came out and schooled us on how to cook shabu shabu properly. Highly recommended, it's also kid friendly and they'll be open during lunch hours during the summer season. The patrons there won't cause a ruckus and it's a great crowd all around.“

“Busan Gukbap is a hidden gem that delivers an authentic taste of traditional Korean comfort food. Their gukbap (rice soup) is an absolute delight, with a rich, flavorful broth that’s perfectly seasoned and brimming with depth. The tender pieces of pork are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the side dishes (banchan) are fresh and thoughtfully paired to enhance the meal.

The attention to detail is evident, from the fresh green onions and spices you can adjust to your liking, to the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're looking for a hearty, satisfying meal or an introduction to one of Korea's classic dishes, Busan Gukbap is an experience you shouldn't miss.“

“My favorite AYCE hot pot ever r r r r r r! I come here all the time when I’m craving for hot pot-shabu. The place is a perfect spot for anyone who loves AYCE please come support them. Shabu House offers variety of food and everything is fresh with a reasonable price. Staff are very friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10!!“

“The friendliest in New Jersey and most visited by You Tubers, the Galbitang and cold noodles NANGMEUN are the best in A MERICA“

“I went to try the teppan jjajang because I heard it was delicious, and it was delicious when I ate it right on the teppan at the store! The sweet and sour pork had a clean color and was delicious without being too greasy.
There are pictures of the new menu items on the wall, and they all look delicious, so I want to try them again next time I go!“

“I’ve been coming to Charim for years, and it never disappoints. The bulgogi here is absolutely phenomenal…perfectly marinated, tender, and bursting with flavor. I’ve also had their bibimbap, japchae, and kimchi jjigae, and each dish has been consistently fresh, authentic, and incredibly satisfying.

What really sets Charim apart is the service. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and more than happy to explain the dishes if you’re unfamiliar. Whether it’s your first time trying Korean food or you’re a longtime fan, they make the experience feel special every time.“

“Thanks to the kind Korean cashier, my family loves shopping at this store. Even my young child gets excited to go to H Mart, putting on her shoes as soon as she hears we’re going. During our last visit, I witnessed a younger customer (younger than the cashier) giving her a hard time for no apparent reason. Despite this, the cashier kept her smile and continued helping her to the very end, which reminded me of my mom. I felt sympathy, realizing how challenging that must have been for her. I’ll continue to visit this H Mart frequently. I’m grateful to have a Korean store near my home and truly appreciate the cashier who always greets us with a warm smile.“

“Highly recommend Gamja TangTang if you’re looking to cool down this summer!The space is refreshing and the food really hits the spot. I especially love their new seasonal summer dishes — super light, flavorful, and perfect for the heat. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared and very in tune with the season. Definitely coming back!“

“Prime Recommended 100% Great Food“

“Some delicious Korean fried chicken and cooked by a robot! The chicken was cooked perfectly, where the outside was super crispy and snaps while the inside was moist and juicy. The staff was super friendly and loved the atmosphere.

Great location as it's within a plaza, so there is plenty of parking.“

“It’s one of the places that’s been around a long time and food has been consistent in my opinion. It’s nice they’re open late till 10pm but kitchen closes 9:30 so make sure to arrive before that and place order otherwise no food for you. I personally like the kalguksu (hand cut noodles) but traditionalists will want the tofu in the boiling clay pot and have rice. Haven’t had anything bad here.“

“They are a no frills, hole-in-the-wall Korean catering business but the food and price can’t be beat! They have also been able to accommodate a quick turnaround time (24 hours) for most common dishes. Our small church uses them almost monthly. The owner is a hard working woman and she can initially come off as being a little standoff-ish, but I’ve had nice conversations with her and she is very nice. The food is consistently good and our church has no complaints! Our go-to dishes are bulgogi, spicy pork, japchae, fried dumplings. We’ve also had the galbijjim, jengban gooksu (cold noodle salad with seafood), and gimbap which are all excellent.“

“Thanks for the amazing dinner! The wall photo menu was genius. We ordered the Spicy Pork (#3), Shrimp Fried Rice (#40), and Dukbokki (#21) - super easy and quick! One suggestion: consider adding a 'VE' sticker for vegetarian options next to the dish photos.“

“Superb food and good quality of service thumbs up 👍“

“It’s my favorite soup place in Fort Lee, period. Never had a bad experience here and been a returning customer for a few years now. Everything is very tasty and service is amazing too.

Parking: They have a parking lot but it’s usually occupied completely during peak hours. There’s a paid parking lot down by the restaurant as well.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Korean comfort food with an amazing vibe, Myung Dong Noodle House in Fort Lee is a must-visit. Known for their kalguksu and hearty, health-focused meals, I opted for their Kimchi Soondubu Jjigae and Kalbi Tang, and both dishes were absolutely incredible.

The Kimchi Soondubu Jjigae is a bubbling bowl of spicy perfection, filled with silky tofu, tangy kimchi, tender pieces of pork, and a poached egg simmering in a rich, flavorful broth. It’s the perfect balance of spice, tang, and umami. The Kalbi Tang is just as comforting, featuring melt-in-your-mouth beef short ribs, daikon radish, glass noodles, and green onions in a clear, savory broth that feels nourishing and indulgent.

And the best surprise? Each stew comes with a side of marinated grilled pork that’s smoky, tender, and bursting with flavor—a generous and delicious addition that takes the meal to another level.

Beyond the incredible food, the atmosphere is just as noteworthy. The restaurant has an authentic, cozy Korean vibe, and it’s clear this is the spot Koreans flock to for a meal that feels like home. It’s the perfect place to get your Korean food fix, surrounded by the comforting hum of conversation and the smell of sizzling, grilled meats.

The service is top notch as well warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Myung Dong Noodle House isn’t just a meal; it’s a full experience, and one that I’ll definitely be back for.“

“I came here to eat makchang and daechang, and it was so delicious and friendly!!
It's so delicious
Somakchang and Daechang are not sold in Canada, but the US is really good.
Necessary to visit here
I came here to eat beef intestines, and it's so delicious and the staff are kind!!
It's so delicious!“

“Nice, warm atmosphere. I ordered a pork katsu curry and it definitely delivered. The coating was a nice crisp, and the curry had a small kick to it. A little pricey but overall worth it! Also, old lady at the counter was very sweet and offered to take me and my family’s picture. :)“

“We stopped in for the first time about 20 minutes before closing hours. The woman behind the desk was so kind and friendly and helpful. She said they only had a small selection available which was more than fine. The food came of hot and quick. The chicken was great. The cook was so kind too!! Dec coming back.“

“Food is always fresh and yummy!!“

“I have a sugary diet, so I make very careful food choices. I can't cook because I'm busy with work, but I use Duri side dish restaurant a lot. I especially like it because the kimbap is delicious and the lunch box is filling and tastes clean. Highly recommended!“

“The taste is a little better than other places.
I feel like the staff's service training is good.
I live in Little Ferry, so Gyeonghoeru is further away,
I'm leaving Chapter XX on Palpac now, and even if it takes more time, I'm going here.“

“There are so many Korean fried chicken restaurants in the area and it’s very difficult to choose the best one. For me, when it comes to takeout, it’s a no brainer. I trust Don Chicken Fort Lee branch to bang out chickens, scallion sides and rose topoki to my liking. Every single time.

That original boneless fried chicken with the seasoned shaved scallion is a paring created in heaven. The fact that the leftovers taste just about great makes me oblivious of quantity control.

I am not sure about dining in, but this Fort Lee branch of Don Chicken is so reliable with the takeout. Highly recommend.“

“This is THE PLACE to get Korean fried chicken. I always get the Soy wings and wings with Bburinkle (type of Korean chicken seasoning with cheese and spices). I also love the fries with the snow cheese seasoning as well. The price is very affordable and the quality is always consistent. I have tried all the Korean chicken places around the area and finally settled on YamYam chicken.“

“WOW WOW WOW! I am truly blown away at this place for everything it has to offer. It's tucked away at the end of the plaza, however they have some of the highest quality and most TENDER meat I have ever put in my mouth. We dinner in for the new KBBQ meats they just added to cater to a larger audience and it is truly the most tender meat I have ever gotten at any restaurant, not just for kbbq.They have servers cooking for you, cutting you portion sizes, and serving you. They are the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met while dining at a restaurant even though I don't speak Korean. They friendly encouraged me to try different ways to eat the food to showcase their culture and it was like eating at home with a family friend.I highly highly highly reccomend this place to try. You can see we got the beef short ribs and the nunkkoch galbisal which was INCREDIBLE. The photos look as good as it tastes forsure. I barely needed to dip in sesame oil/ salt because this meat was so tender.

Kid-friendliness: Perfect for kid or catching up with friends over food!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes! They have an onramp.“

“Visited on 7/5. The chicken was tasty, and the atmosphere was lively, though a bit noisy. We had a great time here on Saturday night.
One small thing — there were some food scraps and bones left in the buckets from the previous table, so a quick cleanup between guests would make the experience even better.“

“great food! friendly staff. cool atmosphere“

“It was seriously so delicious.“

“Excellent solantan bone soup, kimchee and overall service. A local favorite!“

“Amazing service, amazing food, clean and simple. Great date night spot ❤️ Highly recommend the fried calamari, sauce was fire!! 🔥“

“항상 잘 먹고 갑니다.“

“Love this place. Small but clean. I love the plating they look beautiful. The food is delicious we will definitely coming back with my whole family next time ✨✨✨✨✨“

“I'm convenient because I can order accurately on the Internet. They text me the exact time to pick me up, so I don't waste my time, and I can taste the best because the food doesn't cool down

Parking: I have never had any inconvenience due to parking problem. It is always convenient.“

“I recently organized a meal for my office with Paris Baguette, and everyone was absolutely thrilled! The food was delicious, and the customer service was outstanding. A huge thank you to the manager Kim for her incredible help with my order. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Truly exceptional service that made all the difference“
