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.“

“Tried Wonder for the first time and I ain’t gonna lie, it was better than I expected. I got the chicken sandwich and fries, and both were fire. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and actually seasoned. Fries came out hot too. Food was ready quick, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely one of those spots I’ll hit again when I don’t feel like cooking. Easy 9/10.“

“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.“

“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?“

“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!“

“I've tried many Korean restaurants, but this is always my go-to. The food is authentic, fresh, and healthy, with clean, light flavors that never feel heavy. My parents love coming here too because it reminds them of traditional home-cooked Korean food. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and the fact that they don't use MSG makes it even better. Easily a 10/10!“

“excellent food and portions highly recommend eating here“

“Very good dolsot bibimbap but just wish it had a fried egg. My wife was happy they offered cold glass noodles as it was super hot outside, and the bingsu was a treat with the red bean flavored one being surprisingly really good (mango was great). Very large and generous portions“

“This spot serves naengmyun that tastes better than most places in MD, though the quality of noodles are inconsistent. My son's noodles were undercooked and overly tangled, however, mine was ok. The LA galbi was very good and makes for a fantastic meal when ordered with their combo 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 wife and I have eaten here a few times and the food always amazes, every dish we've had has been fantastic. The creamy udon were such an interesting and delicious fusion(?). My steak tartar bulgogi was also out of this world and I cannot wait to get it again.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I have been a customer here since they first opened. The server is nice as usual. The food used to be better. I recommend the Gomtang more than the Yukgaejang. Yukgaejang used to taste a lot better in the past. The place needs to turn up the AC during the summer.“

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

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

“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.“

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

“Nice welcoming and great warm service! We love authentic Korean foods and all customers were Korean except us. Noodles was little too soft but other than that we enjoyed our meal. Definitely we will return!

The best service ever. Thank you“

“I recently discovered this restaurant through a friend, and it has quickly become my favorite Korean BBQ spot.

The pork belly and fresh duck BBQ are simply the best I've ever had. The pork belly is served with four different sauces, each adding its own unique flavor, while the fresh duck is incredibly tender and delicious.

One of the highlights is the fried rice prepared at the end of the meal. A left-handed staff member with a topknot hairstyle works magic with a pair of scissors, cutting up the remaining pork belly and expertly stir-frying it with kimchi, seaweed, and rice right on the grill. It's the best Korean BBQ fried rice I've had in Palisades Park.

What makes the experience even better is the warm hospitality. The owner always greets guests with a big smile, and the entire staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

This is my favorite place for pork belly and duck BBQ, and it has become a small weekly tradition for me after a round of golf. Highly recommended!“

“Malamini is my go-to comfort food spot near home. Whenever I don’t know what to eat, I end up getting their malatang. The sesame sauce is especially good and really makes the bowl. Their ice cream is also surprisingly great. Simple, satisfying, and always hits the spot.“

“The lunch box is incredibly well-prepared and delicious.

The neat and elegant packaging makes the meal feel even more premium.

It’s also a great choice for church gatherings or as a gift. This lunch box truly made my day a happy one!“

“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.“

“What makes this spot so special isn't just the incredible food, but the family feel created by Kathy, Min, Sheena, Chloe, and Cristina. The attention to detail in every dish is incredible—from the expertly prepared chicken and delicious homemade sauce to the fluffy rice, avocado, egg, and mouthwatering dumplings. It’s easily one of the best meals I’ve ever tasted. Add in their consistently fresh sushi and the warm, appreciative staff, and it’s unbeatable. Thank you all for always making every visit feel so special!“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“I’m a snobby ktown LA born Korean American who lived in Korea. I talk crap about most Korean places because they’re just not as good as the west coast but this is by far the absolute best Korean bbq place in all of NJ/NY. Hands down. Super OG place that does actual charcoal grills you literally feel like you’re transported back to the 90’s getting fed Korean bbq at the only spot your parents went to. The place that you went for every graduation, special occasion and celebration. It really doesn’t get better than this.“

“If you're looking for an amazing Korean wings, look no further! This place has nailed it. The chicken itself was incredibly fresh, with a perfectly tender inside and a satisfyingly crispy outside. They were generous with the sauce, ensuring every bite was flavorful and delicious. I also appreciated the small touches, like providing free gloves to keep my hands clean – a sign they really care about the customer experience. The presentation of the wings was also top-notch, making it visually appealing as well as delicious. To top it all off, Han was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“The BON bento box was hands down the best choice – everything was fresh, the evening with friends was so enjoyable, and I can’t wait to come back!"“

“Wow. The price and the food was immaculate. We ordered the roll for 3 and the love for 2 combo. The server was really polite on getting my drink and i was very pleased with the welcome. Then, we received our food, and then when i tell you it was DELICIOUS AND HIGH QUALITY. I mean it. Please come to Sushi Koshi as a way for family dining or casual dine, it is worth every penny and it is very affordable and good quality“

“What a great find locally! Food is always great and enjoyable at a reasonable price especially for lunch specials! Nice cozy atmosphere!

Tucked into a small strip mall in a residential edge of town, you might miss it, but it has its own parking lot so that’s a nice help considering how difficult parking is in the rest of the town.“

“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.“

“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~“

“Tried ARIA with friends and it felt very different from the typical Korean restaurants we usually visit.

The braised oxtail was the standout. The meat was incredibly tender and the sauce had a nice sweetness without being too heavy. Even the carrots and rice cakes in the pot were delicious.

We also ordered the Boyang Samhap, which comes with eel, octopus, and smoked duck. The combination sounded unusual at first, but it worked really well. Everything is served with fresh vegetables and toppings so you can make your own wraps. Fun to share and great for a group.

The portions are large, and while some dishes are on the pricier side, they’re definitely meant for sharing.

Bonus points for easy parking.“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Breakfast is served until 10:30, but I still come here often even when I’m not ordering breakfast because their other dishes are just as delicious. The staff are very friendly, and while many breakfast spots can get very crowded, this place feels much more private and comfortable. The Korean-style sundae gukbap was especially tasty.“

“The Blossom is such a fun spot for a night out in Palisades Park! The restaurant has a beautiful, modern atmosphere, and the spacious outdoor patio with private igloos makes it a unique place to dine year-round. Plus, it’s BYOB, which is always a nice bonus.

The portions are generous, and every dish we tried was full of flavor. The standout for me was the Mango Bingsu—a light and fluffy Korean shaved ice dessert topped with sweet, juicy mango that was incredibly refreshing and the perfect way to end the meal.

Whether you’re planning a date night, a girls’ night, or just catching up with friends, The Blossom offers great food, a fun atmosphere, and an overall wonderful dining experience. I can definitely see myself coming back!“

“Best fried chicken ever! It’s unbelievably crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Please never change your recipe or your standards!!

We thought the only Korean fried chicken options around were the big chains, but then we discovered Don—yay! The chicken is on another level, and we’re so happy to have found you. We’ll definitely be back for more!“

“Nigiri is the best Franklin Lakes has to offer for sushi. incredible quality and a friendly atmosphere from all the staff. Julie is wonderful and clearly takes pride in how clean the restaurant is.

make sure to include how many people will share an order to make sure you have proper quantities for everyone.

will be returning in the future“

“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.“

“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!“

“Positive vibes and a great experience. I’ve visited this place several times in person, and I’ve also done takeout a couple of times. The most recent time was takeout. I needed to feed a small group and asked about platter offerings, but was told they don’t have any set menus. They asked what I was looking for and made some recommendations to fit my needs and requested budget.

To say that I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. They delivered and then some. It was a combination of various sushi, regular rolls, and specialty rolls.

They also asked about any potential allergies in the group, along with any specific preferences or dislikes.

The food was fantastic in taste and presentation. It was well packed and came with plenty of ginger, wasabi, and miso soup. They also gave me delicious tea while I waited for them to complete my order.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.“

“We placed a last-minute order on a Saturday evening and were able to pick it up just a few minutes before closing time. We ordered packs of both kimchi and meat dumplings. The staff was kind enough to give us some extra service items, which we really appreciated.
​As for the taste, it seems a bit hit-or-miss depending on personal preference. While my family enjoyed them, my friends weren’t big fans. Personally, the kimchi dumplings weren't quite my style—they felt like they were missing something—but I thought the meat dumplings were better than expected. Considering the price, it’s a pretty good deal. I’d recommend giving them a try, but keep in mind that tastes might vary!“
