50 Best Korean Restaurants near Garfield

“I love Bb.q chicken with all my heart. This is one of the best fried chicken places I ever tried. The chicken is ver juicy and fresh. I personally love the secret sauce bone- in wings but my friends like the honey garlic wings better. Give this place a try!!!“

“Love this please try the tasting menu with friends so 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😊“

“The flavors were sublime, I can see why so many chefs recommend it!“

“Fast service, good food..“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“5/24 Update, the restaurant invited me back for a meal to redeem their service. To be fair, the restaurant was busy for yellowtail season so understandable.

The food was amazing, we got the scallops rice, salon pasta, Wagyu ribs and the clam soup. I prob would do without the scallop rice for future but everything else hit the spot. Esp my favorite, the clam soup.

Thank you Won and the Capitan of the restaurant for taking care of us! I will definitely be back soon again.

Previous update: Came as a party of one, was seated immediately. Sat and waited for 30mins, no one came to serve me or take my order.

Trendy spot, was excited to try the food, but terrible service.“

“Delicious pea salad, steak and potatoes with chimichurri, and black sesame bread pudding. The staff was incredibly cognizant of timing since I was seeing a show. I would absolutely go back for the steak and potatoes alone! The scallop crudo could have used more balance on the acidity but that is my only note.“

“Amazing experience tonight enjoying the bar menu. The team created a pitch perfect vibe, it felt like I was at a dinner party with friends (who just happen to be wizards at food and wine tasting menus). The service was exceptional: friendly and familiar yet still very high standard when it came to the details just as any other restaurant of this level. The food had some really standout dishes and the drinks pairings were so boldly experimental and amazing. I won't soon forget my experience at Atomix.“

“This was an awesome restaurant. The food was incredible, great views of the city, & delicious dessert selections. Definitely would recommend and will visit again 😊“

“The FOOD is fabulous. Great flavor combinations, beautifully plated, unusual but tasty food, perfect portions. I loved everything we ordered.“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“This is the todo spicy Kim chi hot pot & The rice cakes with vegetables and Tofu“

“Had dinner on a weekday here with a reservation and was seated almost immediately. They give you cold barley tea which was refreshing. We ordered the galbi Jim with the fried rice add on and hot white noodles, and the perilla leaf soy bean stew. The galbi jim was very tender an a big enough portion for three people. Adding the fried rice was a nice end to the meal and tasted great with the bits of beef. The stew was very interesting, never had that at other Korean spots and was comforting on a chilly day. The hot noodles were decent wish the noodles were a bit more al dente but the broth was excellent and very clean tasting. There were a bunch of banchans that came with the meal and my favorites were the soy egg, spinach, potato pancake, and kimchi. Overall, it was a good meal and everything tasted good and was fresh. Portions were just right and we were pretty stuffed for 3 people. Would also recommend the mocktails, they were light and refreshing. The menu is not that extensive but you can find a lot of interesting items that you don't typically find in other Korean spots.“

“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“

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

“This was one of the most memorable meals I've had. All the staff were so smiley and welcoming. We each got a welcome drink and shimp snacks; small but packed with flavors. Then we were directed to our table which was prepared with an envelope with the menu inside. We were so excited and our expectations were through the roof!

The dishes did NOT disappoint! Oh my goodness their first course, the yellowtail, was so delicious! The combination of the Gochujang and buttery yellowtail really brought up our appetite. My personal favorite course was the lobster. The AROMA of this dish just made me salivate I secretly wanted to speed up with service so I could dive in! and it was so scrumptious indeed! The main dish, the steak, was actually a big surprise as well because the cookery of the meat was so good even though this place is not a steak house. One of our company is from Texas and he was very impressed.

I can talk about the food forever but what I have to mention was the service here. The staff were so warm, so welcoming, and very attentive to details. Every time someone left the table, the staff would come and refold our napkins. I also noticed that they would serve the food only when everyone was seated, and would clear the dishes when everyone finished. The pace of the courses was also great! 2+ hours went by so fast we thought it was just an hour. They also gave us a small bag with some memorabilia. It was such a wonderful meal for a celebration.

Highly highly recommended!“

“Overall, a good meal with a few highlights and a few misses

The standout for me was the buckwheat ice cream. I expected a rough, grainy texture, but it was surprisingly smooth with a subtle buckwheat aroma. The sweetness was very restrained and only became noticeable after a few bites, which made it especially enjoyable. The mushroom rice was another favorite. The seasoning was spot on and brought out the natural flavor of the mushrooms. The combination of green onions and mushrooms also looked beautiful on the plate. The fried chicken was solid as well, tender and well cooked

The beef patty was fairly average and didn’t leave much of an impression. The vegetable tempura, unfortunately, was the weakest dish of the meal. The batter was uneven, and there seemed to be too much residual oil, making it feel quite heavy

The seating arrangement was the other downside. We were seated in a corner where 3 tables had been placed in a relatively small area, which felt a bit cramped. The experience would probably be much more enjoyable in one of the more open seating areas

Overall, some dishes were excellent, some were less memorable, but the buckwheat ice cream alone was worth trying.“

“Beautiful it an amazing place and genesis is my dream car the bloom tonic was amazing all the cars are so cute the staff is amazing never had the food to expensive without knowing how it truly taste but the overall car experience is so worth checking out if u are in ny“

“Our experience at Hojokban was such a blast! The food is delicious, staff is friendly in a cute and cozy environment. The go to dish is definitely Hojok Galbi, it’s very flavorful and the meat is so tender falling off the bone. A must try dish if it’s your first time! Octopus tteokbikki is good too, spicy and sweet to open up the appetite. We finish the meal with a tiramisu with orange flavor twist, it wasn’t too sweet, just enough to refresh your palette! Would come back to try more for sure :)“

“visit this place twice this month, the kids love it a lot. many different type of rice cakes 🍠 yam rice cake us my favorite 😍“

“Great times and great ambience!“

“Busy for a weekday lunch, but there are seats. Ambience is café-ish and comfortable. Liked the bright space and high ceiling. Waitstaff was very attentive and kind. Ample banchan and barley tea. Prices were very reasonable for the area. Food tasted healthy and delicious.

Banchan - kimchi was really spicy but yummy. Seaweed, spinach and fried tofu tasted fresh and healthy. Also had a side of fish. Too many bones but the meat is well-cooked and tender.

Cold noodles - kimchi-style so a little sourish. But refreshing.

Mushroom rice - mushroom was well-seasoned. Great dish overall.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of My Favorite Korean Restaurants! Seoul BAP is not just another Korean restaurant — the food is absolutely amazing! Every dish is full of rich, authentic Korean flavors with a modern twist. It’s truly one of the best Korean dining spots in the city. The cocktail menu is just as exciting — featuring creative drinks that perfectly match the vibe and flavor of the food. 🍹 Spicy Passionfruit Margarita – bold and vibrant with a Korean-inspired kick. 🥃 Bourbon Bee Hive – smooth, rich, and full of depth. 💜 Lavender Skies – crafted with premium gin infused with butterfly pea flower and lavender, finished with a touch of Amaro — simply elegant. And the newest favorite everyone’s asking for: 🌺 Midnight Hibiscus – a hibiscus-infused vodka cocktail with elderflower and gentle sweetness. It’s beautifully balanced and pairs perfectly with Seoul BAP’s contemporary Korean cuisine. Best enjoyed with Taylor Swift’s Opalite playing in the background! 🎶✨ Come check out Seoul BAP — where Seoul meets style, flavor, and good vibes all in one place.“

“Delicious and very well prepared dishes.“

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

“I enjoyed the BBQ here. Our server is super friendly. Haven't eaten BBQ in a while so we all crave for it and it's a perfect time to take my son's gf who visited us here in NY. Definitely recommend this restaurant. We all enjoyed it. Cheers 🥂🍾🥓🥩“

“very enjoyable meal today at lunchtime. thr staff were amazing helping us pick and choose. service a+“

“Amazing elevated chicken. It's not just chicken, however. Oysters were superb. Salads (the scallion salad is an absolute delight) and all the sides are just superior. Little touches that seem whimsical but are just spot on - try the 24 carat nugget with caviar. Excellent star-studded champagne list; why not? Staff were just exceptional. Special shout out to the sommelier who came by and spent time even though we didn't buy a killer bottle of bubbly. We will return.“

“Lowkey one of the best meals I’ve had recently. The whole experience felt super polished without being overly formal, which made it even better for a date night.

The shrimp tempura was insanely crispy on the outside while still juicy inside. Super light batter, not greasy at all, and the texture was honestly perfect.

The yellowtail sashimi tasted incredibly fresh and buttery. It literally melted in my mouth, and the sauce added just enough brightness and acidity without overpowering the fish.

The tuna & salmon hand roll was probably my favorite. The seaweed was still crispy when it came out, and the tuna had that rich, clean flavor that makes you immediately want another one. Really balanced and well executed.

Also have to mention the staff because everyone was genuinely warm and attentive the entire time. You can tell they care about the experience, not just the food.

Definitely one of those spots that feels stylish and elevated while still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the night.“

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

“Amazing. Love the flavors. Worthy of their Michelin star.
Obviously every dish can't be a favorite but I'd highlight the tuna-beet dish, the add-on (pay for more) caviar, the duck, tile fish, peekatoe crab, abalone w/ broth.
Service was on point as expected of a restaurant of this level. Love the chef coming over just to chat.
Can't fault them for the ac not working. though.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

“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 😆“

“A hidden gem 💎 of a Korean Restaurant that services Kips Bay and the surrounding area of the LES. Not so easy to see off of 2nd Ave. A modern take on traditional Korean cuisine. Not a kbbq place. Everything is cooked in the kitchen. The Tomahawk Kalbi is the star ⭐️. Neighbor regulars are always here. Nice staff. Reasonably priced. Do yourself a favor and give them a try. We will definitely be going back.“

“Came here for my anniversary dinner, and it was a decent experience. Service was good.

The tasting menu started off strong the amuse-bouche, which were all delicious and flavor bombs in a bite. The main portion though, were a bit mixed, as there were individual components (eg the asparagus o the clams, some of the banchan for the rice, etc) that were delicious, and other part that were just average (e.g. the mushroom rice, the steak, etc). Not really sure why the uni was paired with the steak, as it didn’t feel like it added much. The dessert portion was my favorite part of the meal - both the sorbet and the moon jar shaped desserts were delicious.“

“Okdongsik serves one of the most memorable Korean meals I’ve had. Their pork bone broth is exceptionally clean, rich, and deeply comforting, showcasing just how much flavor can come from a deceptively simple dish. Paired with what is, in my opinion, the best kimchi and mandu I’ve ever tasted, it becomes an unforgettable meal. The minimalist menu, meticulous preparation, and focus on quality ingredients make this a standout destination in Koreatown and a must-visit for anyone interested in authentic Korean cuisine.“

“The ambiance is nice, just a bit loud and the staff right behind you throwing stuff if you are seated in the back. We went on a Saturday and I think since it was packed the servers were super fast with everything so it was rushed they dont even talk you or introduce themselves. Overall, the food quality is great which is whats important? 10/10“

“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.“

“This place is so adorable and has amazing options for korean food on the go! They have a delicious japche which is my favorite korean dish of all time, i highly recommend it with the bulgogi!! They always have new items whenever i go and the mochi doughnut flavors are always unique and different every time (also delicious). there’s vegan and vegetarian options too so there’s truly something for everyone! The cherry on top is that they are always SO sweet and kind, always so happy to give this place my business.“

“The food was delicious , service and staff were so attentive and accommodating , conveniently located a few blocks from Time Square .It is definitely a must in your next visit to NY .“

“This food Court has Korean food for under $12. Everything is pre made. You can warm the food up in the microwave. There are tables to eat at. We got beef bulgogi , fish cake, kimbap and tokayi. It was a decent meal for the price“

“Such a cozy spot with amazing food! The jokbal and kalguksu were especially delicious :)) Definitely a must-try if you’re visiting Koreatown. The servers were super sweet, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable, and the prices were really good too!“

“I LOVE this place!! Best lunch spot in the garment district by far—this has been my go-to lunch for office days. Everything’s delicious but I especially love the spicy pork and bulgogi ssams (you can do half and half which is amazing). My coworkers also really love the tofu ssam. They’re refreshing, healthy, and super filling. All the sauces are equally delicious too! Plus there are Korean pear and grape juices that are so full of flavor. It is a ghost kitchen, so there’s not much seating to eat inside, but I was always taking my order back to my office so it didn’t matter to me.

I cannot recommend this place enough—I’ve been turning all my coworkers onto this hidden gem! Switching jobs soon so I won’t be in the neighborhood, and going to miss this place a bunch! Will definitely be back anytime I’m back in the area. Thank you Gary for everything!!“

“I come all the way from Tribeca at least once a week to grab my lunch and dinner here! If I lived closer, I surely would frequent Yummy Stick more often because the food is that delicious! They make incredibly tasty and fresh food—I always get their shrimp tempura stick! Equally as wonderful are the woman and man who run this little shop. The cashier (female) and chef (male) who run Yummy Stick provide such great service, are always so polite and friendly, and work to provide you your food quickly. See you soon, Yummy Stick!“

“Okay so I do think this is a chicken and burger joint now combined together on the outside of the building. I really didn't notice the time for the chicken place. It was any small corner lit up attached to a burger place. With that said I am not mad at it as I ordered the bulgogi burger which was so good. Very soft and flavorful and I also ordered a order of 10-piece wings. I split it between soy, garlic and sweet and spicy. Now for me I am a Korean chicken lover and I just did it fully get the full experience of Korean Chicken meaning that in every bite it is very crunchy and it is packed with the sauce flavor on top for me. I did not get that full effect and that's really why. I love Korean f and wings that are usually double fried so they get a very nice crunch and the sauce is usually nicely styled on now. There was something wrong with the sauce but I would have liked to have a little bit more of it as well as more of a crunch. I would definitely come back here. I did notice that the burger place and the chicken plays. I have menus but a little bit different. I did order from Uber eats so I didn't really notice that at the time until I really checked out your iron. They do have the tablet where you can order from as soon as you get there. That has Uber just did for both places. However I was very happy with the wings. I got 10 pieces which I think you can order. I only ordered through the bloomberger site and they were nice sizes.“

“Such a gem in Koreatown! The food and drinks were delicious, the vibe is cozy and cute, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff were all attentive and experienced, which made the whole experience even better. What makes it extra special is that WOW Karaoke is right one floor below — so dinner and karaoke in one spot makes for the perfect night out. Already planning my next visit! 🎤✨​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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?“
