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!“

“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.“

“Fast service, good food..“

“was able to snag a reservation easily on a wednesday night. It was exceptional contemporary take on Korean cuisine. perfectly fried monkfish and an incredibly crisp, flavorful fried soft-shell crab. A standout experiential highlight is the DIY scallop gimbap. For the mains, the duck bulgogi was our favorite: umami, savory, and sweet notes, all tied together with a deeply satisfying charred, smoky finish. The bread pudding that is wonderfully delicious without being overly sweet, followed by a gingery shaved ice that provides a sharp, refreshing palate cleanser“

“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.“

“The popcorn chicken was so good. I think it was my favorite dish of everything we ordered, and the potatoes were perfectly done. The pasta was good, but I didn’t go crazy about it. The shrimp toast was good, and the sauce was excellent. The mushroom bibimbap was tasty and had a kind of coconut flavor at the end.

The restaurant was very loud; I couldn’t hear what the people at my table were saying. The service was all over the place. They had a problem with the AC unit dripping, so they put a pan underneath to catch the water, but they dropped the pan all over the floor and into the kitchen. They didn’t seem to clean their hands afterward and continued serving customers.

The restaurant was very understaffed. The food is great, but the place needs to feel a little cleaner and more organized.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food , great service , fun night !“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely outstanding experience at Prime No.7. David looked after me from start to finish and his customer service was genuinely 10/10. He was friendly, professional, and took his time to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell he really cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. Easily the best service I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending David to everyone I know.“

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

“Great food. Good service.“

“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.“

“The food is awe inspiring.“

“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“

“We dined at Joo Ok celebrating our wedding anniversary. From the minute we walked into a freight elevator entrance, curiosity and suspense peeked.

It’s a twelve course menu, thoughtfully executed with love in each bite. The artistry in a few of dishes were meticulously detailed.
Our top three courses were Ganjang, Crustacean and Gui. The perilla oil with the razor clams and caviar was surprisingly light, sweet with a hint of saltiness from the caviar. The langoustine was perfectly cooked, buttery sweetness. The waygu beef was tender, rich and mouthful of flavors.

The service was outstanding, attentive and friendly. Kyle was passionate about his craft, transported us through a culinary experience with his detailed explanation of the different ingredients and chef’s thoughts that goes into each dishes. Kyle and his colleagues highly deserved a shout out!

We dines at other’s Michelin Korean restaurants, from one to three stars. Joo Ok deserves their two stars in our opinions.“

“Hojokban is one of my favorite Korean fusion spots and it never disappoints every time I visit. The food is always absolutely yummy, and some of my must-order dishes are the truffle potato pancake, beef tartare, and bossam. Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing Korean fusion food!“

“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“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“Really impressed by this little restaurant having walked by it for over a year. Was expecting a more traditional concept, but was pleasantly surprised by a fusion of traditional and haute cuisine. Think, Jean-George meets Korea.
Highly recommend.“

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

“like you literally must go okay? this place is IT. food. gas. drinks. gas. service. on top. ambiance… this one’s just okay. but either way. i will 10000000% be back!!! had the tasting menu w some “secret” items for dietary subs. was amazing. loved everything we ate. the lychee drink sent me to the moon. yah loved this place.“

“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.“

“Great times and great ambience!“

“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 🥂🍾🥓🥩“

“i had heard a lot about this restaurant and was nervous that it was overhyped, but i actually had a great time here. casual space to catch up with friends, service was kind and attentive, every dish had matched or exceeded my expectations, and they didn't make a fuss over my friend coming late or us staying past the 90min mark as advertised.

ordered the corn dumplings, oxtail spring rolls, berkshire ribs, and yellowfin crudo. the crudo was much smaller than expected but overall everything tasted good. we were skeptical of the corn dumplings since we're asian, but they ended up being our favorite dish 💛🌽“

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

“Visited on Wednesday night to celebrate mine and my husbands wedding that day and as soon as we walked in we were greeted by lovely friendly staff. We were seated quickly and were introduced to our server. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was fantastic. We opted for the Korean bacon to start and we both had the butchers feast. Outstanding. The steak was beautiful and the dishes that came with it were amazing too. The short rib and egg soufflé were my favourite. Thank you for letting us celebrate our wedding day in your restaurant.“

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