50 Best Korean Restaurants near Northvale

“The jjajangmyun here is better than a few places in NJ! My favorite though is the shrimp kanpoongi! It’s half the price and double the flavor with the same amount of shrimp compared to most restaurants. Went twice this week to order it. YUM!! The shrimp fried rice is on point too. You can’t beat the price over here.“

“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.“

“We through the bartenders were especially great“

“여기 뒤지게 맛있습니다.. 진짜 짱!!! 강추입니다!!

This chicken was insanely good. Every bite was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, it was so delicious it should be illegal. I've had a lot of chicken in my life, but this one? Next level. Absolute flavor explosion. 10/10 — would fight someone for the last piece.“

“Always a great meal. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Owner is very nice and always making sure everything is to satisfaction. Very clean and sanitary. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“I wish I took a photo before I ate it. But, if you want something clean and delicious to eat for Korean food, this is THE spot to eat at out of the tri-state area. Usually Korean soup based foods tend to have either too much sodium and additives to make the flavor powerful, or not enough to bring the flavor out. Genuinely, you can NEVER go wrong with this place. I got 육개장 칼국수 (Spicy Beef Handmade Noodle Soup), and you can ask to see if you can add dumplings in the soup for extra.“

“This is a charming place to enjoy authentic Korean food. The presentation of Jjampong was so pleasing to the eye. The noodles and vegetables were perfectly cooked. The fire cooked Galbi was so delicious and full of flavor. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and genuine stuff in their cooking. Friendly owners and love to visit again and again.“

“The samplers was fantastic, we tried none with hot sauce, all the the other sauce were sweet, yet very tasty. Crispy fries, my wife had the spicy monster chicken sandwich, and she said it was amazing. The employees were knowledgeable, they said all the chicken is halal, no halal sign, but the employee said it was. I would ask the owners to advertise it. It would be most helpful to many others looking for halal. Either way, I'd recommend this place.“

“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 ordered something today and it came incomplete when I called the restaurant and told them about it, and they immediately sent me what was missing and something else. And that was very nice of them, I'm glad they treat their customers in this beautiful way and the food is excellent.“

“我想問如果要坐輪椅。有沒有升降電梯的“

“집에서 만든것 같은 음식의맛!!!이죠! 외국인에게도 더많이 사랑받아서 한국음식을 알릴수있는 무지개잔치집이길 바래요!*^^*“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“Absolutely fantastic taste, we already had lunch then saw this bbq chicken we thought of buying it for evening dinner, when the food came its smell/taste made us eat the whole order. Like I said unbelievable taste. Same taste they have in South Korea. Spicy Sweet combination is craving feature.“

“I’ve been getting food from here for 10+ years now and they never disappoint. If you want the taste of authentic home-cooked Korean food, look no further. They have a delicious variety of banchan, soups, rice cakes, and other grab-and-go style items that are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. I highly recommend the dakgangjeong, sauna-style eggs, ddukbokki, and kimbap. The woman that usually works the counter is also so sweet and polite!“

“Nice modern Korean restaurant. We ordered Gujeolpan for appetizer, and Neobiani and Branzino sotbap for main dishes. Everything was delicious and neatly plated, but I think they’re a bit overpriced compared to other contemporary Korean restaurants in the area. Bring cash - thank me later.“

“Just be mindful that the restaurant is located inside the golf academy, once you enter the building the entrance is on your left.Overall had an amazing experience, they will give you an extraordinary service and treat you like a valued customer at all time. All the dishes are delicious, yet low sodium, fresh ingredients. They have a seasonal menu and it's the best to follow what the owner suggest. They usually have very traditional, healthy dishes.“

“We’ve been here many times, and the service is always excellent. It’s a great spot to visit, especially if someone in the group isn’t a fan of seafood. Although it’s a seafood restaurant, they offer a variety of delicious Korean dishes. Our favorites are 김치찌개, 돈까스, and 한치회무침—which almost tastes like 물회, just without the soup. All the rolls are fantastic as well. Highly recommend!“

“This place is SUPER affordable and the food is amazing ! I have been here twice two days back to back and will probably be going again. They are very nice and the food is very comforting. They change the sides up and it’s always delicious! Imagine all this for 12 bucks!!!! Spicy pork and the other is the beef bento Box“

“My friend ordered from here takeout while I was with her. I tried a whole bunch of different foods she bought for like $55 worth. They were all very good from 5 different dishes I tried.

Parking: Maybe 7 spots of parking but that's good enough. I think there are spots across the street too. I wasn't paying that much attention because it was a spontaneous visit.“

“They help support so many awesome brands, and are amazing to work with. Plus, they spoil me rotten with samples of so many delicious things -- what's not to love?“

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

“It's sooooo good! Authentic Korean Delicious Food with Great Costumer service and ambiance. See you again next time. 🤩👍“

“Small restaurant but big flavor.

The chicken teriyaki box is a great deal served fresh with fantastic flavor and came with so many delicious sides. I also tried a couple of sushi rolls and seems like you can't go wrong with any options. I haven't had fresh cuts of fish like that anywhere else! Definitely recommend!“

“These wings are delicious and I was very impressed... Usually when I bring wings home from any other spot, they're soggy. But this wasn't the case and after about 45 minutes of driving I came home and they were all crispy and fresh and the sauces were great too.... I enjoyed every last one of them....“

“Busan Gukbap is a hidden gem that delivers an authentic taste of traditional Korean comfort food. Their gukbap (rice soup) is an absolute delight, with a rich, flavorful broth that’s perfectly seasoned and brimming with depth. The tender pieces of pork are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the side dishes (banchan) are fresh and thoughtfully paired to enhance the meal.

The attention to detail is evident, from the fresh green onions and spices you can adjust to your liking, to the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're looking for a hearty, satisfying meal or an introduction to one of Korea's classic dishes, Busan Gukbap is an experience you shouldn't miss.“

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

“For a relatively small restaurant, Bibille offers a wide selection of Korean and Japanese dishes. At a recent lunch, we sampled the bibim bowl, vegetable dumplings, mochi donut, and bubble tea. Everything was very tasty and, except for the donut, made to order on the spot. Even the bubble tea was blended and served up as a smoothie, and a delicious one at that. The prices were very reasonable, and service was prompt.“

“This is hands-down our favorite sushi place! It’s an intimate, family-run gem where you can truly feel the love and care that goes into everything—from the food to the service. The sushi is always incredibly fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed.

Our kids love coming here too. The friendly staff always makes them feel special, and the free ice cream at the end is such a sweet treat they look forward to every time.

We’re so grateful to have a place like this in the neighborhood. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great sushi in a cozy, family-friendly setting!“

“We love this place. Great food especially their soups on cold days.“

“Tried Korean Fried Chicken for the first time, and wow it did not disappoint! Super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and that sticky, spicy sauce? Absolute game changer. Every bite was loaded with flavor. We had it with coleslaw, pork dumplings, onion rings, and fries the perfect combo. Washed it all down with a cold drink. So good, we’re already planning round two.“

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

“Authetic korean restaurant serving some good Tang Soo Yook! Very nicely fried and portion is generous! we also tried their seafood jjampong and it was good. I bet the heat is even perfect during colder weathers! I would love to come back and try their jajang. so hopefully soon.

Inside was clean and spacious and service was very good. We were asked if we wanted tea or water which I appreciated. we also had some fried pork left which we got to go and the staff gave us extra sauce! we felt so welcomed.“

“My favorite meat restaurant! Spicy braised ribs are delicious!! All the side dishes are delicious and the seasoning for the vegetables is good!! I always eat grilled pork belly and pork belly, and fried rice is a must at the end!! Boss, you are so nice~~!!“

“I love taking my family to eat at this location. It reminds me of the mom and pops shops in Korea. Authentic Korean dishes, and the food reminds me of Korea. I also read some of the comments and to each its own, although I would say, you're getting a Korean feel to their culture in American....Don't expect your way of things. “

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“As Indian Vegetarians, we absolutely love this place. They explain everything on the menu very sweetly.

Be sure to get:
- bibambap in hot stone bowl with tofu option
- tofu soup with ramen (be sure to mention “vegetarian broth” so they don’t use the beef broth)

Overall highly recommend. Very vegetarian friendly“

“Completely surprised and intrigued with the menu. This is NOT a Mexican food restaurant as the name might fool you. The shrimp taco wrapped in seaweed paper was so fresh tasting,crunchy and absolutely delish. Fried rice served in your own skillet and you mix the egg in was the best! The smores waffle with homemade custard ice-cream was to die for. Bartender Robbie is a pro mixologist with really new style drinks. This place was a treat and I cant wait to go back. Also the service was perfect!“

“Food is excellent, service is good and polite, atmosphere is gentle peaceful and clean. I highly recommend here, especially parties for 10-50 ppl.“

“My brothers and I came here after plant shopping. Honestly, after a rainy day, I just want some nice fried chicken. This was the place to go. The service was immaculate, I felt just at home. The money tree created great ambiance. I would highly recommend you check the place out if you are in the area!“

“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!"“

“This place is just amazing! There were 5 of us and we all ordered something different. Everything we got was delicious- we all tried each other's dishes. There's a little bit of everything to satisfy even the pickiest eater. I would just drive her (over a 2 hour drive for me) just to come eat here. I need this place closer to home, lol.“

“This place is so good! I’m more of tender / sandwich person so can’t speak to the wings but I got dinner there one night and came back soon after… definitely adding to my rotation. I think it’s made fresh to order because takes a bit of time to prep - the quality is very good and chicken is super tasty.“

“Good local sushi restaurant with good variety on menu. Beat of. 3 sushi restaurants in Park Ridge. Good fish quality but not NYC fish 🐟 quality but also not NYC prices. Good value for your money and sushi cravings. Very polite and professional management.“

“My only complaint is that this place is a little expensive for what it is. This is a great family restaurant place. The KBBQ is a bit expensive and I didn't get it. Instead i got Bulgulgi (Kitchen) and some Bimbimbap.

Both were great. Would come back again.“

“Great Korean food and sushi. Soonduboo was tasty and balanced, spicy pork bibimbap was generous and perfectly crispy on the bottom, eel and avocado sushi was tasty, and the agadashi tofu was delightful. Owner was a bit busy but very nice. Great evening.“

“I wish I could give 10 stars. Anna and staff were AMAZING with their service, special sauce mixes, and celebration of our daughter’s birthday! Food was fresh and Sooooo many items to choose from.

Def will be back.

Vegetarian options: Not only vegetarian friendly but vegan friendly

Kid-friendliness: The kids loved cooking their own hot pot and using their training chopsticks provided by the restaurant“

“I have been enjoying K Chicken in Norwood for over a year! Each and every time my chicken has been so fresh, seasoned well, and delicious! When I arrive to pick up my order, the store is so welcoming, immaculate, and bright! EJ is always there with a warm hello and a smile with my order packed and ready to go - I’ve never had to wait! So, if you are looking for a lovely place that has consistently flavorful Korean fried chicken and yummy side dishes, and great service with a smile, you have to check out K Chicken in Norwood - you’ll be glad you did!!

“They are famous for ssambap. First time for me but when I looked around. Every single table had ssambap on theirs. I ordered spicy pork one for two. Generous heaps of assorted fresh lettuce and greens for ssam and spicy pork cooked and served over hot stone. quickly served. Delish! I’ll def go again.“
