50 Best Korean Restaurants near Hackensack

“Home of arguably the best wings on planet Earth… and this is coming from a wing snob. The wings are consistently a general size, and always incredibly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The K-Ramen is nice and spicy and delicious! Michin dumplings are a go to dish. The bulgogi and bibimbap and perfectly seasoned, and very tender.“

“I’m blown away! I placed an uber eats pickup order.
This chicken is better than I expected. I ordered the garlic soy wings with blue cheese for dip on the side.
The wings are fried to a perfect crisp on the outside of full of garlic soy flavor. The chicken itself is juicy and meaty.
My dog enviously watched me eat my meal. I was expecting to finish the whole container on my own but I was able to finish 5.
I plan to order again soon.

Parking: There is a limited amount of spaces in the street around the corner and in the back.“

“We went for a Friday dinner, and although it was just the two of us, we managed to try three dishes — and they were all fantastic!
* Soy Scallop with Gim Rice: The scallops were fresh and tender, with a delightful jelly-like texture, and the rice was perfectly soft and flavorful.
* Rose Tteokbokki: As a big fan of rice cakes, I loved this dish! The sauce was rich and complemented the rice cakes beautifully.
* Seoul Salon Fried Chicken: An absolute must-try! The chicken was juicy, with a crispy, thin coating that was just perfect.
We can’t wait for our next visit!“

“The food is delicious😊“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“My friend and I made a reservation for Gurumé at 7pm on a Saturday. I would recommend making a reservation if you are dining around this time, as it was packed! However, the crowd had dissipated by 8:30pm, so if you're looking for a later evening bite, it's definitely slower. I would also recommend not dining at peak hours because it was so loud. Decor is your average, upscale vibes, but the tables are really close together to maximize the amount of people in the space.

We ordered crispy corn and cheese ($14), oyster mushroom taco ($17), berkshire kimchi fried rice ($19), scallop crudo ($19), and pork & radish "bossam" ($19). We also ordered the black sesame bread pudding for dessert ($11). Overall, the food was flavored well and tasty. You're paying entree prices for appetizer portions, but it makes sense for the location. If I came back, I would skip the kimchi fried rice and scallop crudo. The fried rice was nothing special, and I have had better experiences with simpler ingredients; the scallop crudo was overpowered by the other flavors, losing the taste of the scallop. The bossam was so moist and juicy, with fantastic natural flavoring, though the other components did enhance the flavor. I would only recommend the corn if you are a corn lover and none of the other appetizers appeal to you. The mushroom taco had a great combination of flavors and the spice kick was mild. If you're a dessert person, the bread pudding was delectable, great black sesame flavor and the bread was also moist.

Service was outstanding. We were originally seated next to a large party, and they later moved us to a table further away where it was quieter. There were many checkbacks throughout the evening, and they definitely make you feel like you are valued as a customer. I would recommend Gurumé for a fancy night out and people in your party can talk loudly.“

“Moono is an absolute gem! The galbi jjim is unforgettable—perfectly tender, fall-off-the-bone beef braised in this rich, savory sauce that’s both comforting and packed with flavor. It’s seriously one of the best versions I’ve ever had. And then there’s the Pyongyang cold noodles, which are refreshing, delicate, and incredibly well-balanced. The cold broth is light yet flavorful, and the noodles have just the right chew. If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors with a sophisticated twist, Moono should be at the top of your list. This place truly celebrates Korean cuisine, and I couldn’t recommend it enough!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“Great times and great ambience!“

“Bottom line: Enjoy eating and drinking your way through Seoul BAP's menu!!

The food was flavorful and had a nice twist on some Korean classics. Beautifully plated, too. Our favorites were...
* corn cheese
* galbi jjim
* bulgogi bibimbap
* bulgogi japchae
Go hungry because the portions sneak up on you!

Service was considerate, prompt and super respectful. From the hostess to all the waitstaff, everyone was great with our group.

Ambiance was chill-sexy. Would be great for a group with the back area perfect for a happy hour/cocktail hour party--or even an intimate date!

Looking forward to going again soon!“

“Wow! Everything was exceptional at Olle.

-Service was fantastic
-Ban Chans were soooo fresh and the best I’ve had when dining out compared to other Korean restaurants I’ve been to
-Quality of the food was 10/10

Cannot wait to come back to try the rest of the menu“

“I love this restaurant ! We come here often when we're in K-Town. Good food, awesome atmosphere, and friendly helpful service.“

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

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

“I've had the privilege to dine in many amazing restaurants around the globe and even privately in the kitchen of some famous chefs. I can say with absolute authority that this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Absolutely amazing from first bite to last! Make sure to opt-in for the savory beignet as well. It was superlative. I'll be envious of anyone getting to dine here until I have a chance to come back again!“

“Went on a Wednesday night at around 7 PM and was super busy! Filled with mainly younger people and the vibe was extremely nice. We got the beef tartare, chapaguri fried rice, soy-glazed bossam, and the frozen makgeolli for dessert! Only got a picture of the beef tartare and chapaguri :(, but everything was good nonetheless.

We did find the garlic bossam a bit too oily for our liking but it was good and finished all our plates. The service was great - I noticed that there were probably a lot of reservations as servers were quick to clear off empty tables and set them up for the next guests. Would highly recommend and I would go back to try some other dishes!“

“LOVE Korean BBQ delivers a top-tier dining experience that stands out among New York City’s Korean barbecue spots. From the moment you step in, the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff set the stage for an unforgettable meal.

The food here is simply outstanding. Each cut of meat is of the highest quality, from the tender, perfectly marinated galbi to the flavorful bulgogi. The grilling process, done right at your table, enhances the freshness and authenticity of the experience. The sides (banchan) are equally impressive, offering a variety of flavors that complement the grilled meats beautifully. Every bite showcases the care and expertise put into the preparation of the dishes.

The service is exceptional. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, ensuring every detail is just right. They’re happy to guide you through the menu, offer recommendations, and even help with grilling at the table if you’re new to Korean BBQ. Their enthusiasm and professionalism elevate the meal to a truly special occasion.

The ambiance is lively and modern, making it perfect for everything from a fun night out with friends to a celebratory dinner. The curated drink menu, featuring creative cocktails and a great selection of soju and beer, rounds out the experience perfectly.

LOVE Korean BBQ is a must-visit for anyone craving incredible food and outstanding service in a vibrant setting. Whether you’re a Korean BBQ enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this place will exceed your expectations. Highly recommended!“

“Found this place by coincidence, but it turns out to be one of the best handroll places I visited in NYC. The restaurant is structured as bar seatings. Every handroll was made and served one.

The rice was well seasoned, and every roll was delicious. The menu was a bit limited, but that also makes it very simple and friendly for someone who doesn't know what to order on their first visit.

The price was moderate. If you are a fan of handrolls, you should give it a try.“

“Food was amazing!!! My new go to bulgogi spot in NYC! The pajeon was excellent and crispy, and the bulgogi was perfectly seasoned. The egg at the end was also delicious. Ganjang Gejang was a pass though. However, I always think the measure of a good Korean restaurant is their kimchi, and I can safely say that their kimchi is fire.“

“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“

“This place is GREAT!

We were craving for some ttukbokki and kimbop, decided to try for a new place.

Their kimbop is delicious, great fillings and well seasoned seaweed.

Ttukbokki came out nice and hot. Rice cake was nicely cooked and seasoned. But come on, look at the boiled egg, it’s not one of those overcooked yolk!!

Ramyun and udon was also delicious, noodles were done jussssssst right. I will admit that I was a little thrown off by mixed greens on ramyun.

Donkatsu was one of the best as well. Pork was just the right amount of thickness and crispy.

I also don’t feel like crap after eating the food there, not over seasoned with high sodium or MSG.

People were also great there, highly highly recommend it!“

“I loved everything within my experience at HYUN! Service is excellent, food is excellent and the environment is awesome! I anticipate coming back as soon as possible.“

“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.“

“Went tonight for dinner with friends and our server Susie was truly incredible and attentive alongside the other support staff to make sure we had everything we needed and a great experience.
The food itself was all excellent and we had a solid variety of the different meats as part of the Classic AYCE menu, but the marinated hangar steak was especially great.
Would definitely come back here since this seems to be the prominent AYCE spot in the area.“

“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 .“

“Phenomenal. I can’t get over how sweet the lady who attended us was. This is the first restaurant I’ve been to where i felt as if the food was truly made with love. The food itself was absolutely delicious, and the price was very reasonable. My friend and I ordered the fried chicken, tteokbokki, and bulgogi kimbap. The portions were perfect, we finished ALL of it (and licked our fingers clean). Their plates are also so cute if I may add. I will definitely bring all of my friends here when they visit Teaneck.“

“Situated in a tranquil neighborhood near Fort Lee, NJ, this restaurant offers a delightful dining experience that feels like a hidden gem. The beef short ribs were a standout, cooked to perfection with a tenderness that melts in the mouth. The sauce and seasoning complemented the meat impeccably, adding depth without overpowering the natural flavors. Equally impressive were the cold noodles, which brought a refreshing and unique combination of flavors and textures, making for an ideal contrast to the rich short ribs. Visiting on a quiet Sunday afternoon, I found the atmosphere serene and the service attentive and courteous. This is a spot well worth a visit for those seeking exceptional Korean cuisine in a relaxed setting.“

“Always delicious anytime we come. Fresh food, and great service! Ask for Sasha, she's amazing! #TeamSasha“

“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“

“What can I say? it's my brethren's restaurant. I would def go back to try the other items on the menu“

“Good food, went in a group of about 9 people and they accommodated us nicely. Minus the fact that even if someone doesn't show up we personally have to pay for them? ridiculous
I'll probably go here again but just not with the same people“

“Dweji-gomtang (pork bone broth soup) is really smooth and clear. You could taste the richness of the pork while drinking the broth. The pork is slicing into really thin slices and it goes really well with the gochu-ji. The spicyness balances the greasy taste of the pork. The side dish kimchi radish is crisp and balanced the whole dish. The restaurant is a little bit small and doesn’t have a lot of space, but definitely worth a try for its pork broth soup“

“Super fresh "yummy stick." I think it's kimbap with quality ingredients. Freshly made egg, spinach, carrots, and rice...Cards accepted only if $8 or more. So, bring cash for the basic rolls. Efficient service and food was served wrapped in tin foil. Lightly seasoned with sesame oil. There is a veggie kimbap option too. It's walk-up window/open door service. Delish.“

“Our family's go-to Korean chicken place!! It never disappoints us. The chicken is always perfectly crispy and light. ???

With so many incredible flavors to choose from, we always go for the half & half option. Our favorites are the "Soy Garlic" that is sweet and savory(my son's fav) and "Cheesling(my fav)"!! coated with a light dusting of cheesy goodness that melts in your mouth.

If you're a fan of loaded fries, you need to try the Cheesling Fries. They' are topped with the same delicious cheese powder as the chicken, and when you drizzle their secret sauce on top...omg..this combination is so addictive! ?You will find it hard to stop eating. Must try!!“

“Great for celiacs as you can have gluten free bibimbap!

Food is really good and while it's not true traditional bibimbap (no stone bowl which means the rice doesn't get the same crunch) the flavour was bang on and it's a good portion as well. Could use a smidge more protein. Veggies were delicious.

Great service as well.“

“I love this place. I’ve been twice and it was a fantastic experience each time.“

“This was a pretty nice spot for a quick dinner of authentic Korean food. The atmosphere is very homey and the service is friendly. The options are a bit limited and several things on the menu weren't available when we went, but the noodles we did have were pretty good“

“The atmosphere of the restaurant with the friendliness and stories from the chef makes this a must go for any fan of korean cooking or cooking in general. Chef encourages questions between meals and each meal has a speech before it. Really wonderful time“
