29 Best Korean Restaurants in Fort Lee

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

“Visited for the first time and had a great experience. The galbijjim was incredibly tender and full of flavor, and the naengmyeon paired perfectly with it. All of the side dishes were fresh and tasted homemade. The staff was friendly and attentive even though the restaurant was busy. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in the area.“

“I love this place. Whether you want some k-bbq or kalbi-tang or even some nangmyun, this is always the perfect place!
The waiters are very attentive and helpful.
I’ve tried different k-bbq places in NJ but wooga is the best among them.
Specially their yookhye is the best of the best. I love korean style beef tartare and no place can beat it. I can eat it literally every day 😆“

“I always get the galbi tang when I come here. They use actual beef ribs and it’s absolutely delicious. The mandoo and dumplings are all great steamed or fried. Every dish I’ve had here from the noodles, meat, appetizers have all been delicious.“

“Kimbab Cafe is my new favorite kimbap spot in North Jersey. I love the tuna and spicy pork kimbaps while my wife loves the kimchi kimbap. The coffee was also delicious. They were sold out of ddukbokki when we went so we are excited to go back to try it!“

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

“Many people seem to enjoy this place, and there is a good variety of food and drinks. The food was generally quite good, except for the jjimdak (steamed chicken). It looked amazing in the menu photos, but it arrived undercooked and had to be cooked longer at our table, which took quite a while. When it was done. it was also a bit spicier than we expected as well
The restaurant was very busy on a Friday night, with people waiting for tables. Because of that, it felt like there was some pressure to finish and leave rather than relax and stay for a long conversation. In that sense, it felt more like a traditional Korean restaurant than a bar where you can sit with friends and talk for hours. Overall, the food and atmosphere were good, but the dining experience felt a bit rushed.“

“We were recommended this place by a family friend, and we were so glad we got to try this place when we were in town!
This is solely a carry-out spot, so be warned that there isn't anywhere to sit down.
The owners are so lovely and helpful and it seems like they have quite the variety of frozen dumplings! They do also have smaller packs of ready-to-eat dumplings on display that you can ask to be steamed on the spot. We got the shrimp dumplings, which comes with a ?cilantro cream sauce, and the pork dumplings. They were definitely some of the best dumplings we had. We drove up from south jersey, so we got a few ready-to-eat packs and steamed them at home. The dumpling skins are so incredibly thin, in the best way possible and the fillings were fresh, light, flavorful, and well balanced! We will definitely be returning when we're back in town!“

“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!“

“Best korean shabu in Fortlee“

“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!“

“Kim Ga Meon Ok is a great spot for tasty and affordable Korean food. The restaurant is self-service, which makes it quick and casual, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. Our favorites are the japchae, bibimbap, bulgogi, and short ribs — all delicious and consistently good. Definitely a place we enjoy coming back to.“

“Hands down my favorite takeout spot in NJ. I practically survived my 3 years in New Jersey on takeout from here. The bento boxes and kimbap are my go-to.. always fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced.

I recently returned to NJ and have already found myself ordering from here at least 2x a week. The food feels comforting. Highly recommend.“

“Really delicious place🤤You can truly taste authentic Korean flavors here. The dishes are made with care everything is fresh, flavorful. Every detail reflects Korean cuisine and its traditions. If you want to try real Korean food, not an adapted version, this is definitely a place worth visiting. Even takeout dishes keep their flavor and quality. I keep coming back here again and again🤭“

“Good food good service I will come back !“

“THE BEST sullongtang / ox soup place in the east coast. Yes, not just NJ but the entire east coast lol. I also think their sullongtang is even better than some places I've tried in Seoul. The difference is that the sullongtang at Sa Rit Gol is really rich thick bone broth and traditional vs some of the places I've tried in Seoul seem to watered down their sullongtang. I probably get food from Sa Rit Gol at least once a week, and more than once a week in the fall /winter seasons.

My go-to here is the mixed beef sullungtang. Their portions are quite a lot and when I get it to go, I'll split it into two portions and even give some to my dogs who also are obsessed with the beef soup. Sullungtang is especially great if I had ate too salty the day before since it's not seasoned and fairly healthy. Sometimes I like to switch it up and get the Gam Ja Tang or Soon Dae Guk which are also delicious. I love how they give you two types of kimchi - radish and cabbage kimchi. The radish kimchi with sullungtang is a combo made in heaven :9

The staff and the owners are always super nice and so welcoming. When I dine in, the service always prompt and attentive even though there's a lot of ppl sometimes. On the weekends there can be long wait times especially around peak hours, so definitely plan accordingly.“

“This place is one of our favorites! They serve delicious food and have great customer service. The owner is a rockstar who treats us like his family and makes the whole experience so much fun.

I would highly recommend to anyone!“

“The lunch box is full of warmthI highly recommend these precious lunch boxes and side dishes that you won't get tired of eating every day, each side dish is really neat, and has the depth of the food you would eat at a high-end restaurant.“

-i love trebokki and it was a little flavorless :(

“I tried 101 Chicken in Fort Lee and ended up liking it a lot more than I expected. The first thing you notice is the setup — they use a robot fryer, and the kitchen is fully visible from outside. It’s unusually clean for a fried chicken place, almost like a small lab, which immediately gives you confidence about how the food is handled.

The frying quality across the menu was consistently good, and the flavors felt cleaner and more balanced compared to a lot of other Korean-style chicken spots. Here’s what I tried:

101 Potato Crispy Chicken ($14.9)
The most unique item for sure. The potato-crusted coating gives it a sharp, crunchy bite, and the flavor has a slightly sweet, tangy “tomato snack” profile. Not ketchup, but similar enough that it stands out. I really enjoyed this one.

Supreme ($13.9)
Sweet-spicy Korean style with a creamy layer. Flavorful without feeling overly heavy. A good choice if you like sauced chicken.

Original Hot Pepper ($13.5)
Classic fried chicken with a mild spicy seasoning. The finish has a light mala-style tingle, which actually worked well.

Soy Honey ($13.5)
Light, sweet-soy glaze. Easy to eat and not overpowering.

Garlic Crumble ($13.9)
Crispy garlic bits with a touch of sweetness, somewhat like a garlic bread–inspired flavor. Nice, but less distinctive than the earlier ones.

101 Tteokbokki ($13)
Simple and nostalgic — very similar to the street-style tteokbokki you’d find outside Korean schools. Chewy rice cakes with a mildly spicy, slightly sweet sauce.

Cheese Balls ($7)
Crispy outside, chewy inside, and a little sweet at the end. Great with the truffle mayo.

They offer wings, boneless, and drumsticks. I thought the boneless was the best match for their seasoning — it’s dark-meat thigh, so it stays juicy and tender. If you prefer white meat, just keep that in mind.

Overall, I had a really good experience here.
The food was consistently well-fried, the flavors were interesting without being too much, and the open, spotless kitchen was a big plus. Definitely a place I’d come back to, and easy 5 stars from me.“

“Located inside Han Nam Market, this is by far the best quality and cheapest priced korean food i've tried in NJ. It tastes very similar to my 할머니's cooking in Gapyeong, South Korea.

They have cheap combo prices between $8-16 and serving is very big! It comes with side dishes too! They accept most major credit cards incase you don't have cash.

Plenty of FREE parking outside the market, it does get busy on certain hours.“

“Hands down the best chicken ever! Finding good chicken in New York that doesn't break the bank is tough, but Yam Yam is both affordable and high quality. I especially loved their Ppurings—it genuinely tastes exactly like the Korean style chicken. It’s so fresh, crunchy, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place!“

“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.“

“Prime Recommended 100% Great Food“

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

“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.“

“This restaurant’s serviceable. It does the job of feeding people well, but it’s not a place that makes you crave their food. Massive portions with reasonable prices. It was really crowded, which was unsurprising given their value.

Personally, I found the food too soft and bland. The tangsuyuk was so soft it might as well have been coated in pancake. The sweet and sour sauce tasted diluted, lacking brightness to counteract the oil. The jjajangmyeon was likewise really soft, like overcooked pasta, covered in a sauce that I wish had a deeper onion and black bean flavor. In short, the food was so-so. The fried mandoo was the best item.“

“Delicious place and very friendly staff. The Korean lady owner is so nice makes you feel like home. Decent prices for the pork meals for 2. They give a lot of food. Best kimchi I had so far. Lots of meat very delicious and easy to eat peels right off.“

“Pretty good place that I generally like. However would not recommend the $40 kalbi jim where the sauce is good but they give you spare ribs which as the name might suggest are spare of any actual meat. Totally not worth it and pretty disappointing. But as a general matter, pretty good and overall would recommend“
