50 Best Korean Restaurants near Glen Rock

“Great place to eat …right next to the New Jersey transit“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I want to say this place was great in food, vibes, and coziness. This is a great definition of a mom and pop restaurant.

Firstly the food.
I had the bulgogi bento. The bulgogi looked, smelled, and tasted amazing. It had the normal bulgogi flavor with that nice hit of smokiness almost like wokhay from Chinese cooking. I loved each bite as the smokiness hit my mouth and nose. The sides of the bento was good too, the dumplings were nice and crunchy with a nice but just a tad bit bland filling, tho to be fair the filling is fairly standard for korean dumplings. The kimichi is what I prefer, which is the more freshly made kind. And the rice was cooked as I expected from a Korean restaurant, which is good. The salads were fine again its a salad, but it was nice that they added kale to the salad adding this bit of variety. The salad dressing was sweet and a bit tangy, mostly sweet which I do like since I have a sweet tooth.

The other bento was the shrimp tempura, I did get one of the shrimp tempura and it was good. The crunchy and breading was nice and you had the shrimp flavor that was still there.

Finally the tteokbokki. It was great. The rice cakes were chewy and soft and the fish cakes were soft and not mushy. The flavor of the sauce was great too, it had this nice umami to it and was the perfect level of spicy to enjoy.

The price for the food was also reasonable. Both bento costed roughly $18 each and the tteokbokki costed $12. They also had an interesting line up of drinks that was nice.

All this aside I want to also note how cozy and welcoming it felt. The lady that was serving us was very kind and caring. She even asked about how the addition of kale to the salad was because it was a new addition that they changed because people liked kale. I really liked that attention to detail. The store was medium sized with some odds and ends here and there but that added to the charm of the place.

I went on a Thursday during lunch time and it had a good amount of business via pick up but I was there alone with the person I was with dining in.

Overall as a Korean I think this place hits better then certain places in mind the food was good and the atmosphere was comforting.

I do regret not trying some of the other menu items I guess I have to return for some more.

For the sake of Google reviews I gave everything a 5. My personal score may be closer to a 4.4 which is high for my own personal score“

“I've eaten at many Korean fried chicken places across Bergen County over the years, and this was hands down the best. The flavor was incredibly authentic and reminded me of the original Korean-style chicken I grew up with. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and every bite was packed with flavor.

After trying so many places, I can confidently say I've finally found my go-to chicken spot. This is where I'll be coming from now on. Highly recommended for anyone looking for truly authentic Korean fried chicken!“

“excellent food and portions highly recommend eating here“

“A Korean-style donkatsu place is finally open in this area, and it has been so long overdue! The moment you walk in, the clean and modern interior sets a welcoming tone that makes it perfect for a quick lunch or a casual dinner. I tried the signature king-sized cutlet, and the portion was impressive, arriving piping hot and beautifully plated. The sauce is the real star here, offering that nostalgic, slightly sweet, and savory flavor that defines authentic K-style comfort food. Every bite delivered a satisfying crunch from the golden-brown breading, while the meat remained incredibly tender and juicy inside. I especially appreciated the traditional sides, like the light cream soup and the refreshing shredded cabbage salad, which balanced the richness of the meal perfectly. The service was prompt and attentive, ensuring that the water glasses stayed full and the food arrived shortly after ordering. It is a fantastic addition to our local dining scene, and I can already tell this will be a regular spot for my weekend cravings. Whether you are a longtime fan of the dish or trying it for the first time, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“Absolutely loved it here! The quality of the food was great, and the portions very generous. The banchan were extremely refreshing, especially the cucumber! The stew was tasty and thickened into an incredibly rich broth after mixing in the egg. Servers were extremely friendly and attentive. Loved everything!“

“Spinning family set on paella-like griddle good portion, good variety. Also includes 물/비빔냉면
Draft beer selection includes Sapporo.
Dessert selection strawberry latte. Ran out of tiramisu.

Interior bright and modern. Servers perky. No longer valet parking.“

“Whenever I find myself craving a comforting bowl of Yeonpotang (octopus soup), Hansang is my reliable choice for takeout. The service is consistently warm and welcoming. What stands out most about their preparation is the clean, natural flavor profile; it notably avoids the heavy reliance on artificial seasonings that you sometimes find in restaurant soups, leaving you feeling nourished rather than weighed down.

While I have noticed the dining room is a bit quieter on weekdays compared to the past, the quality of the kitchen remains steadfast. Their Yeonpotang is exceptional. The broth carries a delicate, slightly spicy kick, perfectly balanced by the natural, refreshing sweetness of squash and napa cabbage. The octopus itself is remarkably fresh and tender, truly serving as the centerpiece of the dish.

I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a genuine, comforting meal. Their octopus soup is a prime example of the clean, restorative qualities of traditional Korean cuisine here in New Jersey.“

“The malatang here is really good, and the service is great. There are a lot of options to choose from, so it’s easy to customize your bowl. They offer free froyo if you pay cash, and they also include a Yakult regardless of payment method, which is a nice touch. Definitely a place I’d recommend!“

“This was my first time visiting a naengmyeon place since coming to the U.S., and it was absolutely worth it.

Both the Mul Naengmyeon and the Bibim Naengmyeon were delicious, and the Buchu Jeon was especially amazing.

The setup is pretty straightforward.
You order at the counter, find your own seat, pick up your food when it is ready, and return everything yourself afterward. Since it is self-service, there was no separate tip expected. Even so, everyone was very kind, and I also loved that hot broth was available for self-service.

After living in Boston, where it can be hard to find really good Korean food, I was so happy to finally have such a satisfying meal.“

“Got the Galbitang, note that I believe almost all the soups are made from the same base. They’re not heavy on flavor but extremely clean and refreshing. You won’t feel sluggish after this meal. Definitely still really good and amazing service!“

“Several good vegan options here. The nice staff here will provide a special menu with all vegans items circled if you ask.

Their food is excellent. I really enjoy their ramen. Don't skip the vegetable dumpling and scallion pancake appetizers.“

“The best kalguksu in NJ hands down. The broths have depth, the noodles have the perfect thickness and chew, and don't forget you need the perfect kimchi when having kalguksu. IYKYK.... This place has it all.

Don't know who this halmae is with these cooking skills, but she sure as hell made me miss mine while having dinner here the other night. Thank you for the nostalgic flavors!“

“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.“

“If you see a sign that says Tomo Sushi, it's the right place. I was confused because I came for Hama Korean, but I talked to the owner of the restaurant and she said it's Hama Korean. I almost went back home, but I am glad I asked the owner.

I absolutely loved food - especially bibimbap - at Hama Korean and so good.

The sign may say Tomo Sushi, but when I asked the restaurant owner, he said it was Hippo Korean. The owners are the same and the food tastes just as good ^^“

“Wonderful place, wonderful people, wonderful food. The presentation is it's own experience. I went at noon and the dinner menu was already available. They have a small parking lot. We did lunch specials with a dumpling appetizer. The dumplings were so light and fresh. The portions were huge. I came away with enough leftovers for at least two more meals. Next time we're trying the ribs.“

“Five star across the board. Big but focused menu on Korean stables.

Come in and you will see mostly Koreans (a good sign of authentic flavors)

Belt fish was to die for.
Big portions, fairly priced
Most importantly, flavors that remind me of the ocean.

Banchan was one of the best.“

“I loved the food and service here. Very delicious.“

“I absolutely love this Korean restaurant. The food tastes very authentic and truly reflects traditional Korean flavors. Whenever I visit New York, I make it a point to come here with my family. The service is also excellent—very attentive and welcoming.“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“Yook92 in Palisades Park is a standout Korean BBQ spot that I’m eager to return to. I visited at 425 Grand Ave, and the clean, welcoming environment set the perfect tone for a delicious meal. I ordered the Sweet and Spicy Chicken, and it was amazing—authentic, fresh, and perfectly cooked with a balanced kiss of heat and sweetness that reminded me of home-cooked Korean flavors. The chicken was incredibly juicy and tender, and every bite carried vibrant seasoning. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout, making me feel appreciated and well taken care of without being intrusive. The overall vibe was warm and inviting, and the attention to cleanliness was evident in every corner of the dining area. Given the quality of the food, the freshness, the excellent service, and the spotless setting, I would confidently give Yook92 five stars and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Korean BBQ. If you’re in the area and love spicy-sweet poultry, this place is a must-visit. Would absolutely visit again to explore more menu options and relive that same comforting, homey experience.“

“Just happen to stumble upon this place while passing by and I was amazed how good the chicken was. It was very tender, juicy, and flavorful. Didn’t expect this from this neighborhood. I thought I was in Korea. The raddish was so authentic. The service is also amazing. Very nice and attentive to my needs! Definitely coming back all the way from New York.“

“We were welcomed like close family, with genuine warmth and care
From the very first moments, you can feel a special atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer.

The owner was incredibly kind and attentive.
At our request, we were seated on the outdoor terrace, which turned out to be the perfect spot to enjoy the evening !

The service was quick, and every dish was truly delicious - you can feel the passion and attention behind the food.

I highly recommend visiting this place, it offers not just great service, but a true sense of hospitality ☺️“

“So good!!!!!!!!! Must try! My favorite place in town!“

“While eating bossam here, I asked to take the leftovers to go. At many places, when you box food after starting a meal, they usually only pack the main dish.

But here, they thoughtfully packed everything that goes with bossam — the garlic, peppers, ssamjang, shrimp paste, and even the kimchi. It may seem like a small detail, but it honestly meant a lot to me.

I know this could be inconvenient for the servers, yet they did it without hesitation. That level of care and consideration truly impressed me. Excellent service and attention to detail — I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I had a chance to stop by this location while I was in the area, and it was my first time here, as I usually stick to the Fort Lee location. I was happy to find that the quality is just as excellent and consistent.
The tonkatsu tasted similar to what I always get, delivering that great flavor and crunch that I've come to expect from them. If you're already a fan of their other spots, you can trust that this one maintains the high standard. Highly recommended!“

“The Best place!! The best meatS and seafood“

“Best sushi restaurant I have EVER been to. It is VERY affordable, the service is amazing!!!! I went with my wife and my son, and they gave use free desert and food for my son. I will be recommending everyone I know to come here. 10/10✨✨✨“

“Fantastic, such a convenient place with great late night hours!“

“The workers were incredibly friendly. Great personalities. The place is very clean. And the food was very good. Flavorful chicken. The sides are a lot of fried foods too, but those were still very good. Nothing felt overly seasoned either, so you can enjoy eat thing you get without what you ate before overpowering your taste buds.“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“사장부터 직원 매우 불친절..자리를 기다리는 사람들에 대한 관리가 전혀 없고 중간 중간 여사장이나 직원이 아는 손님이 오면 중간중간에 슬쩍 끼워 놓음.한시간 이상을 기다리는 손님에 대한 기본 예의 조차 없음..“

“I got so lucky when I randomly stumbled upon this place while getting lunch at work. As someone who loves chicken teriyaki trust me when I say you must try theirs. I have been searching for the last few years all around the bergen county area for the best chicken teriyaki and I have found it here. This is my absolute favorite! I have tried probably 50+ restaurants and nothing can beat this. From the way they prepare chicken, to the homemade sauce they use, the perfectly cooked rice and the avocado, egg and dumplings they add on.... it is one of the greatest combinations i've ever tasted. On top of that, their sushi is always delicious and fresh. If thats not enough, they also have fantastic owners and workers there. I always get a warm greeting, and they're thankful for my patronage. Fantastic all around. I will be back soon... My favorite sushi spot!“

“Totally worth the 1hr travel for us! I love the variety of food you can get and the lemonades. I also love the fact that they cook the meat for you. All you have to do is sit and enjoy. Aa formeats that is notorious for popping, they have a cover for that. You dont have to worry about anything but enjoying yourselves!“

“I was here on several occassions, especially with my best guyfriend and best ladyfriend's birthdays. Love the K-Pop music on display, and the waiters/waitresses are excellent for their presentation and service.“

“This place serves some of the best jajangmyeon I’ve ever had. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the black bean sauce was rich, savory, and full of deep flavor without being too heavy. You can really tell the ingredients are fresh and well balanced. Portions were generous, and the service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic and delicious Korean-Chinese food!“

“I’ve been to Don Chicken several times now, and it never disappoints. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the flavors are always spot-on. I always order the rose tteokbokki too—it never gets old. The place is clean and cozy, and the staff are super friendly, which makes every visit a pleasure. Definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“Honest review- during my sit down at restaurant the owners and guy at register were kind people -that always goes a long way!
Food: fresh, nicely battered chicken it didn’t seem that the oil was sitting there all day- super fresh not too salty or heavy meal. I also ordered no salt on fries -that was accommodated for. Best fried kitchen that I’ve tried in the Ny/NJ area and I like the Korean twist with the sauces you can ask them to put on side. This is the type of business that local community should support given the way they are not trying to overdo it n keep it tasty at same time.
I happened to be passing thru town and saw the reviews- it’s worthy to become a restaurant chain/franchise. And it’s good prices there is no reason not to try this place especially if you’re close by. Best of luck to your business!“

“Stopped by on a Saturday at around 10:45 to pick up a few rolls. Everything is premade, so it makes for a nice, quick lunch. Rolls are $7-$8, which is cheap especially since they're made fresh in the morning. I think that's even cheaper than the fridged Hmart ones. Plus, it's packed with ingredients. They don't skimp on the meat and it's a good filling to rice ratio. We tried the grilled pork, beef, and fish cake kimbaps. They all tasted kind of similar but it was pretty good. We also had the dumplings, which I would skip because they just taste like the frozen Hmart mandus.

Definitely would come back the next time I'm craving some kimbap!“

“We were so fortunate to have such a wonderful server assist us Chad. His attentiveness throughout the meal was truly remarkable. They offered excellent recommendations with a genuine smile. Every request was handled promptly and with great care. It's clear they take pride in providing exceptional service. We truly appreciated their positive and welcoming demeanor. Our experience was elevated significantly thanks to their efforts. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment based on their outstanding hospitality.“

“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.“

“This is a small catering business/food spot that only local koreans know about. There is no seating, so you come here to buy your food and bring it home.

They are known to have the best flavors in town. They have authentic Korean soups, meat dishes, side dishes, and more. A must try for anyone looking to bring food home to eat.

Hands down the best 잔치집 in NJ!“

“I’ve been coming to Sushi Story since the day it opened, and it continues to impress every single time. The first thing that stood out to me was the service—warm, immediate, and sincere. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted and made to feel welcome. The waitresses are consistently polite, attentive, and always carry a genuine smile. In particular, the waitress with the slicked-back hair has a way of elevating every visit; she’s made several special occasions truly memorable. The restaurant is almost always busy, and for good reason. Because seating can be difficult to secure, I strongly recommend making an RSVP ahead of time. Even with the constant flow of guests, the experience never feels rushed. The master sushi chef is actively engaged with diners, adding an extra touch of authenticity and hospitality to the meal. As for the food—exceptional. The salmon and tuna are always fresh, vibrant, and prepared perfectly. It’s easily one of the best places to enjoy a great evening out with family or friends. And don’t forget: it’s BYOB, so feel free to bring your favorite bottle of wine. Sushi Story is truly a gem, and I look forward to visiting again very soon.“

“Went to this location to get my Korean fried chicken and cheese balls yesterday everything was so good! The chicken was super crispy and flavorful, and the cheese balls were perfectly gooey inside. The staff were friendly too, and the service was quick. Definitely coming back again!“

“I recently moved to the area and Ive been on the hunt for the best food in the area - one of which was finding my new go to korean fried chicken place. This place did not disappoint and the high reviews left here are worth the hype. Ordered the spicy soy garlic + fries combo and it was deeeelicious. Fresh, hot, with the perfect amount of spice and the wings are bigger than what you'd get at a chain fried chicken restaurant. I also upgraded my fries to the truffle parmesean - truffle isnt as outstanding of a flavor but the parm was pretty good. The service is also so nice! Ill definitely be back to try their other food~“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“맛있겠다 .. All delicious food they have. come and visit this place.“
