50 Best Korean Restaurants near Little Ferry

“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!“

“As food and travel enthusiasts, we’ve had Korean BBQ all over the world, and Cast Iron Pot delivers a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant is exceptionally clean, the atmosphere is lively, and the service truly stands out. The staff was attentive from the moment we arrived, frequently checking in, changing the grill when needed, and making sure we always had everything we needed.

The only reason for the 4-star rating is the quality of the meat. While the selection is generous, we were expecting more premium cuts with better marbling and tenderness. Upgrading the meat quality would elevate the entire experience and easily make this one of the top Korean BBQ destinations in the area.

If you’re looking for great service, a spotless restaurant, and a fun place to enjoy Korean BBQ with family or friends, Cast Iron Pot is definitely worth a visit.“

“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!“

“Tried the jaeyook bokeum, boneless fried chicken, tomato pasta, and kimchi jjigae at Bunsik Nara. The Korean food was decent. Fried chicken was the standout by far. Crispy and well seasoned. Tomato pasta was ok too. Biggest strength is the variety. Good spot for groups when everyone wants different things. Comfortable seating helps too.“

“Every time I visit, the food is consistently clean, flavorful, and satisfying. The couple who run the counter are always so kind and welcoming. it really adds to the experience. No matter how many times I eat here, I never get tired of it. This place has that rare combination of great taste, warm service, and reliability. A true favorite“

“Their foods are delicious.
Only thing I don't like is their take containers. They keep using black containers which most food related places not using anymore since recent research found the black plastic containers is not safe for food and eventually not good for human health.“

“We stopped by Sang’s Kitchen while shopping at the supermarket, and it ended up being a great find. We ordered the fried dumplings, which were crispy and full of flavor.

I had the spicy chicken cupbap, and it was excellent, easily one of my favorite dishes from this visit. The flavors were well balanced, and the spice level was just right. My wife ordered the spicy seafood ramen and really enjoyed it. The broth was rich, flavorful, and satisfying.

The service was great. The lady who helped us was friendly and welcoming. Seating is shared with other food spots in the area, but the tables were clean and the space felt comfortable. Overall, everything we tried was delicious, and I would definitely come back if I’m in the area again.“

“One of our favorites chicken houses! The staff is great too! Great for take out too!“

“Love this please try the tasting menu with friends so delicious!“

“The food is 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.“

“Amazing modern Korean food with great flavors and a fun atmosphere. Every dish was well executed, and the service from Nicky was outstanding friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“I had a wonderful experience here celebrating someone’s birthday! The staff were very attentive and every dish was a hit.

We splurged for the 14 day aged duck and it was so worth it — it’s now my favorite duck I’ve had in NYC! I’d recommend coming with st least 4 people if you order it.

The pan con tomate and frog legs were surprise hits for me, and I loved the chai tres leches cake for dessert.“

“wow great fun take on traditional busan style food.
I thought the Spicy Monkfish was very flavorful and good and the dolsot albap was surprisingly very tasty. Im usually not the biggest fan of albap but this was not too fishy and the crispy rice on the bowl was very pleasant and went well with the dish.
Duck bulgogi probably least special and ok to skip but not bad.“

“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.“

“This place is amazing. We tried the fava bean hummus - bursting with flavor and garlic forward (which I enjoy). The steak and grits was so buttery and delicious as well. The ice tea was a surprise stand out as well. To top it all off the service here is unmatched. I look forward to coming back soon.“

“Absolutely wonderful — hands down one of the best meals of the trip. Every dish we ordered was excellent: the watermelon salad, tuna, mandu, steak and potatoes, tteokbokki, and the sesame bread and butter pudding were all full of flavor and beautifully presented.

I loved the Korean-fusion small-plates concept — creative, shareable and really well executed. The cocktails were also excellent.

We sat at the bar for a 5 p.m. dinner before a 7 p.m. show, and the timing was perfect. Service was sharp, everything came out at just the right pace, and the bar had such a lively, engaging atmosphere with great conversation from the team.

Fun, flavorful, beautifully plated and full of energy. Would absolutely come back.“

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

“Overall very impressed with the food quality, especially the melt in your mouth tender meats. Appreciate how the meats are halal & no alcohol is served. Prashant is an absolute delight - knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. He and the whole staff made dinner a wonderful experience.“

“Delicious food , great service , fun night !“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great food. Good service.“

“The food is awe inspiring.“

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

“I loved it all! We got the shared galbi dish with two cold noodle dishes. The banchans were stellar, the other reviews didn’t miss on those, but for me the spicy cold noodle was truly amazing. I’d almost just want it as its own dish, but very happy we got it.

I’d recommend the galbi to anyone or the mini galbi, eat it with some kimchi!“

“Dining at Joo Ok in New York felt incredibly special to me as a Korean. I had visited Joo Ok in Korea several times with my parents, so I came with fond memories and high expectations. Somehow, the New York experience felt even more refined and memorable. The cuisine has evolved beautifully while preserving the traditional techniques, flavors, and soul of Korean cooking.

Every course was thoughtful, sophisticated, and deeply rooted in Korean culinary tradition. Even the desserts carried a sense of jeong, the warmth, generosity, and affection that are so uniquely Korean. I especially loved the beautiful tableware by Korean artist Myung Wook Huh. The vessels were works of art in themselves, and seeing the food presented alongside pieces by Korean artists made each course feel almost like an artwork of its own. There was a beautiful harmony between the food, the craftsmanship, and the space.

The interior was warm and intimate and made me feel as though I were back in Korea, while the New York city view outside created an almost dreamlike contrast. The service was gracious, polished, and genuinely warm.“

“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“

“We had such a wonderful dinner here! The short rib, pork belly, and perilla oil noodles were all absolutely delicious, and the drinks were complex, refreshing, and perfect for a humid summer evening.

A special shoutout to Jamie, who was only on her second day and was already so attentive, patient, and warm. She made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back! ✨“

“The best Korean cold noodle in Manhattan—and maybe all of NYC! They’re Pyongyang-style cold noodles served in a mild, delicate broth. The noodles have a high buckwheat content. I would rank them alongside some of the top-tier, authentic cold noodle houses in South Korea. A little more generous amount of garnish would be great, though.

Hwangtae hot noodles come in a clean, delicate, yet flavorful broth, finished with fresh perilla oil. I could tell high-quality ingredients (pollock and perilla oil) were used.

I truly enjoyed them. The sides and appetizers were high quality as well. I would visit this place again.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“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“

“in one word: satisfactory.

it didn’t meet the hype that i had heard online, HOWEVER it was a great spot.

for food, we had the cucumber kimchi, which was pretty great. much better than the cucumber salad at din tai fung, but smaller, and had a similar spice level, very low. definitely a highlight and a great way to start.

the ricotta toast was next, and it was ok. i wish we had ordered the caesar instead. as someone who adores a ricotta toast, i thought that the ricotta was really overpowering and i wish more flavor was there to compliment it.

we had the legendary burger, which was solid. not award winning, but certainly was great. the meat had good flavor, and i would recommend trying.

we also had the tater tots which were really great. exactly as described on the menu, and were my favorite item, tied with the cucumber.

as for the chopped cheese rice cakes, i would only recommend them if you are a fan of triple cheese mac n cheese or something similar. good dish, but i would have like to have known about how strong the cheese profile was.

what i will say is that the service was really incredible. we felt welcomed and satisfied at all times. huge shoutout to the waitstaff here. i would come back just for them honestly. super accommodating. thank you guys!“

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

“We had a really great experience here! The staff were kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal, and the service was smooth from start to finish. Everyone was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. We really enjoyed the food as well and would definitely come back again! 🫶“

“Great times and great ambience!“

“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 🥂🍾🥓🥩“

“Bardzo smaczne jedzenie , porcje adekwatne do ceny“

“I went during restaurant week for a date night. The ambience is very intimate and cozy. It was an extremely hot day the restaurant was nicely cool and seated us in a timely manner. The restaurant menu was unique and suprub! I like that the start of our ordering process that our server inquired about dietary restrictions or accommodations. Fortunately, do not have any, but it showed competency. The use of truffle in the ceviche was elevated and the corn dumplings left me wanting more. The drinks were made perfectly and the packaging with the light inside the adult capris gave the experience a nice novelty photo worthy opportunity. The presentation of the food was elegant and overall excellent. I wish the donuts were a little larger or they gave one more that’s my only critique. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to return. I wish I took more photos but the experience was one that deserved being in the moment.“

“Incredible food, impeccable service. Came in without realizing they close in the middle of the day for change over and was still sat and served and wasn’t rushed at all. It was a perfect hearty and healthy meal on a rainy day. Kimchi was some of the best I’ve had.“

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

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