35 Best Korean Restaurants near Midland Park

“We had the pescatarian udon soup with shrimp shumai tonight. It was so delicious. The shumai were to die for! We really enjoyed the fried calamari as well!“

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

“excellent food and portions highly recommend eating here“

“Really enjoyed the food from Bloom Chicken.

The small boneless chicken was honestly huge and the chicken was super crispy. The spicy rice cakes were way better than I expected — especially since I don’t usually like rice cakes.

The only thing keeping this from a 5-star review is that it came with no radish, no dipping sauce, nothing on the side.

For $14 for a small order, I’d expect at least some radish, I’d also give up a few pieces of chicken for radish.

Also, it’s definitely more of a take-out spot — the covered patio is nice but not heated, therefore I ate my food in the car since it was cold.

Overall though, really solid food and an easy 4-star meal.“

“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“

“Ever since the new owners took over, this place has really stepped up! The store is spotless, the BBQ chicken is crispy and fresh, and the lady at the front desk is always so friendly. You can taste and feel the positive changes — definitely the best spot if you’re craving fried chicken!“

“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!“

“Wonderful experience for our family’s Christmas dinner today. Everyone from the hostess, servers and managers was so attentive to all of our needs and requests. My first time at this SGD location and the food was delicious and the Mango Bingsoo did not disappoint.“

“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 lady at the front desk has a great smile and very friendly! We loved the food here and it’s the perfect spot right after a day at hot spa sauna next door. The seafood pancake was so crispy and it’s cheaper than anywhere else in the area.“

“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 ^^“

“Great spot if you want authentic Korean soups and stews. The side dishes (banchans) are tasty (but a bit salty to cater to the american palette). It’s also a tad less casual so it’s a nice spot to say, treat your in-laws or bring guests.“

“I went there by myself and order the grilled mackerel and seafood tofu soup combo. Everything tasted great. The seafood tofu soup was flavorful and not too spicy. I love the side dishes too. I wish I had a bigger stomach to finish everything. I saw other tables doing KBBQ, the meats seemed to be of high quality and offers table side service. The service staff were very attentive.“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“Clean and welcoming space.
The Gomtang Delux had a balanced savory flavor with a clean broth as well as thin cuts of tender brisket, chuck roll, and beef heel.

The potato, kimchi, and seafood pancakes each were crispy and tasty in their own way but a bit too greasy.

The kimchi/radish and pickled soy sauce onions pair well with the Gomtang Delux and pancakes.

The Seoulleongtang was light, creamy, and mildly seasoned.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It’s pretty awesome to devour unexpected high quality of donkatsu (pork cutlets) in a food court setting.

There’s only one other restaurant that makes better or similar donkatsu in NJ. That would be Katsune in Fort Lee. Katsune simply knows how to fry cutlets crispy without being greasy. While maintaining the juicy and savory protein inside the fried bread crumbs.

I highly recommend Katsune Donkatsu if you are visiting Little Ferry Hmart and looking something to eat.“

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

“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!“

“New owner!

Very nice atmosphere, super comfortable. The food is delicious and menu is affordable for the quality of the food you are getting. My husband and I had the Agedashi Tofu, Pork Sirloin Katsu, Tuna Kimbap, and Potato Croquette. For dessert we had the Mango Bingsoo.

The bingsoo is probably the best in the area! Full of delicious mango, and syrup. It’s very tall too, so it’s a good deal.

The owner is very nice. Always provided a quick hot water refill.

It’s really very comfortable here. I could see myself sitting here for a while to just decompress. Will come back!“

“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✨✨✨“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“Came here with the most beautiful hottest date on earth and had an absolute wonderful time and enjoyed every single portion of food we got as well as enjoyed our time together as a loving passion couple we love Great food and times out!...The atmosphere and energy of the restaurant was A1 and service and food even better. Not to mention the company I had made the entire night . We will Definitely be back hopefully sooner then later. Thank you so much for the great food and environment.

“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~“

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

“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!“

“First time visiting Moon Korean BBQ and we loved it!
From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the host and the staff. Our server, Ana, was amazing — so attentive, mindful, and friendly throughout our meal. We ordered the Supermoon set (BBQ and Shabu), and everything was delicious and fresh. Even our 9-month-old daughter enjoyed the experience! Great food, great service, and such a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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’ve been coming to SGD Dubu So Gong Dong Tofu & Korean BBQ for years, and it never disappoints! The food is always delicious, comforting, and consistent—especially the tofu soup and LA Galbi. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and the staff is always warm and welcoming.

It’s one of those rare spots that stays just as good no matter how many times you visit. Easily one of my go-to Korean restaurants!“

“Best gimbap spot in the area. I’ve been to three other nearby spots and this one is by far the tastiest. The lady who is usually working there is also the most polite and courteous person I’ve ever met. I would give five stars just for her!“

“Tried Totowah Plus for the first time because of their all you can eat promotion and was really impressed. The price was reasonable and the food was very good. Even the non all you can eat menu items are well put together. The restaurant is clean and the staff are super friendly and attentive. I personally value good service a lot no matter how good the food is, and this place definitely gets it right. I would come back again even without a promotion. ❤️“
