50 Best Korean Restaurants near Norwood

“I’ve ordered lunch here twice and both times every bite was delicious. Kimchi fried rice, eel lunch special, kimbap, & japchae, all fantastic.
You can’t go wrong here and they are very friendly and helpful. All the food is fresh and they have extra items you can order off the menu if you don’t see what you want already packaged.“

“Pretty much come here for all my Korean Food catering needs. Anything I order is always fresh, tastes great, and reasonably priced. Best bang for the buck value for quality, taste, and price in the area. Always ready on time. Great service. Also pop by regularly for pre-made foods, soups, korean banchan weekly. They also have daily preset lunch menus available as well. That's true value for what you get. Selection changes daily. View website for daily specials.“

“The server was very helpful and always trying to accommodate to my requests. Specially Isabelle“

“Normally I hate wings. This place makes heaven. I can't stop eating and ordering these double fried wings OMGGGGG. SO GOOOOD! Kimbop was good and everything else too. The sweetest owner ever too! She is a doll! MUST TRY THIS PLACE. WILL NOT REGRET IT!“

“Found this place within walking distance of HUMC. It was very small, but clean, more importantly the food was very good! The Wings were on the larger side, while the mozz sticks and corn sides were great. Only drawback was the limited seating area, but the food was good enough to take “To Go”!“

“My team of 18 people had a phenomenal meal here. The owner Nick was so accommodating and kind. We ordered two party platters and four flavors - Kalbi BBQ, Soy Garlic, Sweet and Spicy, and Ppurinkle. All of them were phenomenal but my favorite was the Kalbi (had a nice peppery heat). The chicken was crispy and succulent. The meal came with pickled radish and sodas. Absolutely recommend whether you're dining in or taking out.“

“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.“

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

“Incredible food with rich flavors, but what I loved most was the atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the owner greeted us with a warm smile and enthusiastic hospitality. Her kindness and joy radiates throughout the entire establishment, and you can’t help but smile when you’re there. You can feel how deeply she cares about each customer’s experience, and her genuine delight in seeing people enjoy her food makes the visit all the more special.

It was a joy to experience something so beautiful: not just in the flavors of the dishes, but in the heart and care behind them. This is easily one of my new favorite restaurants!❤“

“Generous servings of delicious, authentic Korean food at a great price, efficient, attentive and friendly service, in a brightly-lit, spacious yet crowded, canteen-style venue with cheerfully chattering customers... we thought we had been transported back to Korea! We had long been aware that there are good Korean restaurants in Tappan, and now we're sorry that we didn't come sooner.
Hong Ban Jang is not your run-of-the-mill Korean restaurant: its menu is expansive, its offerings unique, its portions massive and its taste inimitable. For appetizers we ordered the Fried Glass Noodle Dumplings and Seafood Scallion Pancake. The dumplings are vegetarian, full of japchae style glass noodles and veggies. The pancake was crispy fried and filled with fresh seafood, esp. chopped squid. My husband and son picked every morsel of the yummy squid bits off the plate :-).
It's rare to find vegetarian cold noodles in a Korean restaurant, as the broth is invariably beef based. When I saw that Hong Ban Jang offered cold noodles in a bean broth, I decided to try them. What I received was not what I expected: the noodles were solid soy bean noodles, instead of the translucent buckwheat noodles. I was given a pot of salt to sprinkle on the noodles, as the dish itself had almost no seasonings. It was a very unusual experience for us (everyone shared some of my dish). The noodles were tasty despite lack of seasoning, the broth was thick, rich and creamy. We all loved it.
My husband ordered the Spicy Seaweed Soup with Oyster and Noodles. My son ordered Spicy Beef Brisket Bibimbap. I had some of the seaweed broth to warm up my stomach. Both reported that their dishes were super nice.
For a spacious dining area with no less than 20 tables, there were only 3 waitresses, but you'd think there was a platoon of them, as they possessed some kind of super power that enabled them to respond to everyone's need immediately, check on the customer's satisfaction multiple times, make recommendations, and offer solutions. Their kitchen must also be staffed with super-powered cooks, as they not only have to meet the demands of the premises, but also fill large quantities of take-out orders.
In short, Hong Ban Jang far exceeded our expectations, and we will for sure come back to try out other items on their menu!“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“我想問如果要坐輪椅。有沒有升降電梯的“

“my family visited my aunt who lives in the area for her birthday and we thought to try this place. i’m so glad we did because they had theeeee besssst seafood scallion pancake i’ve ever had and everyone in the group loved it!
i also really liked their banchan and hot tea.
i got their spicy brisket jjampong and i was very happy with my order.
the cooking definitely has a homemade taste to it as if we just went over a family friend’s house which was a nice feeling. the guy even told us there’s no msg in the food.
i would definitely come here again and would go more often if i lived closer 😆“

“First time ordering from here, and it definitely won’t be the last! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and nothing felt overly greasy. We placed our pickup order ahead of time, and it was ready exactly when promised, which made the whole pickup process quick and easy. Parking was easy too.

Overall, a great experience. 10/10 would order again! Definitely one of the better takeout spots around. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Best kimbap I’ve had in NJ, hands down — and I’m a visitor with high standards for food! Had it yesterday, loved it so much I came back to grab more for the plane ride home. Everything is so filling and clearly made with care — you can tell they put love into every roll. Their specialty coffee/matcha drinks are great too. Owners are super friendly. Will be back every time I’m in NJ/NY!“

“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!“

“Our server Ana was very attentive, sweet, and welcoming! Whenever we would need help/assistance, she and other staff would come right away or even without us asking! The restaurant also has many options and our family had a very enjoyable experience here, definitely will come back!“

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

“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....“

“The food here was great. We added this as a random stop on our way home and it did not disappoint. The dumplings were so perfectly crispy. We ordered several different specialty rolls and they food came out so quickly. It's nothing special on the inside but a lot of the best places aren't! Would definitely come back again if we pass along the way.“

“This restaurant has quickly become my favorite place!!
The woman who owns it is so sweet and lovely! I love getting her recommendations and she makes all of the banchan and sauces herself!
I've gone several times and have ordered Bibimbap, Soon Tofu soup, sushi, seafood pancake, and chicken fried rice with kimchi. Everything is always so fresh and delicious!
The service is on the slower side (usually take around 45mins+) since they are a small team, but the food is completely worth it, and I personally don't mind the wait.“

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

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

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

“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!"“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“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“

“We needed a place to grab a quick bite. To our pleasant surprise we found Bonchon. Wow! The food is great. Get the wings and try the Soy Garlic sauce. And if you like Sweet Potato Fries...
Bang! Now that's what I'm talking about.
We will be back.
Korean Flavor Done Right!“

“I got my first delivery yesterday. Talking about white glove service! I was really impressed how they packaged their food in a clean white box. All items were packaged so well. High end. Highly recommend it.“

“My kids ordered 2 portions of wings (mango habanero and Korean BBQ) and I got one of the drums (buffalo).. Kids loved their order - the mango habanero is going to be on repeat order it seems. Mine was too salty and almost inedible. The chicken was perfectly done though. Mixed bag, but my first time getting takeout from here and looks like it wont be the last.“

“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.“

“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.“

“While Korean food has become increasingly popular in the U.S. over the past decade, it feels like most options skew toward two extremes: fast food (chicken, 떡복기, ramen, etc.) or rarefied Michelin experiences with impossibly competitive reservations. The Plating offers a much-needed middle ground. All the dishes are readily recognizable to anyone who's grown up with traditional Korean food and flavors, but they're executed in a refined, precise, and intentionally modern way that elevates them a cut above the average Korean restaurant in the suburbs.

I was in a party of 4, and we ordered a dinner course menu. Every plate was delicious, and we were very full when we left.

The chef/owner is the sole cook, so if she is booked for private events, the restaurant closes for the day. To avoid disappointment, CALL AHEAD to check if the restaurant is open. It may feel like a hassle, but I enjoyed my meal enough to feel that the call is worth it.“

“It's such a futuristic way of getting your Korean fried chicken. So simplistic so to the point crunch is phenomenal, And even though it's made to order it's still fast! It reminds me of those individual food dining cubbies/booths for people who like minimal contact/interactions during dining that I've tried in Japan before. A lot of the items that I wanted were sold out but the experience was so well that I will go back again in hopes to get those items ☺️

(I'm not a spicy person but if you are the bokki is perfect for you, to me it was too spicy to enjoy unfortunately, even with the cheese added. But everything else about the bokki was spot on delicious!)“

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

“We had such a great experience here! Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the beef noodles with vegetables and the dumpling soup, and both were excellent. The complimentary side dishes were incredibly tasty, and we loved learning that many of the vegetables are grown by their own garden it really shows in the freshness and flavor.

The tea was also wonderful and paired perfectly with the meal.

The prices were very reasonable for the quality and generous portions. We enjoyed everything so much that we even ordered extra food to take home for our kids.

Friendly service, amazing food, fresh ingredients, and excellent value.

We will definitely be coming back.
Highly recommended! ⭐“

“I had a fantastic meal from here today. The udon noodles were cooked perfectly and held onto the savory sauce, making for a truly satisfying lunch.

Everything was fresh, especially the bright, crunchy bell peppers and the tender slices of beef mixed throughout. It was a solid, comforting portion that hit the spot. I will definitely be ordering this again soon.“

“Best fried chicken ever! It’s unbelievably crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Please never change your recipe or your standards!!

We thought the only Korean fried chicken options around were the big chains, but then we discovered Don—yay! The chicken is on another level, and we’re so happy to have found you. We’ll definitely be back for more!“

“The sushi, rolls, and sashimi rice bowl were all incredibly fresh — you could taste it in every bite. The fish was clean and delicate, the rolls were packed with flavor, and the rice bowl was generous and perfectly seasoned. Easily one of the best Japanese meals I've had in a while. I'll definitely be coming back.👍“

“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!“

“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?“

“Great place to enjoy delicious Korean cold noodles at a reasonable price. The price already includes the tip, so there’s no need to worry about extra charges. It’s self-service, so you simply pick up your food when it’s ready. The naengmyeon was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. A solid spot for a casual meal!“

“This is a top-notch Korean restaurant that has maintained a high quality of food and service over the years. Note that the same cannot be said about almost all other Korean restaurants in the area. The cozy, home-like atmosphere is perfect for unpretentious small gatherings. I always feel wonderful walking in and I’m always deeply satisfied after every meal at Myung Ga Won. So grateful and looking forward to future meals there.“

“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.“

“Super friendly staff, and the chicken sandwich was SO good! Definitely my favorite! The Supreme Chicken is my second favorite, and it’s a must-try if you like spicy food. The Hot Pepper Chicken has this unique flavor that’s oddly addictive 😂❤‍🔥“

“I was looking for a good place to eat for lunch and found this place. The food is amazing. I never had dumplings where no sauce was needed. Fresh and explodes in your mouth with flavor. I wish I could give them 10 stars. The staff is friendly and if its your 1st time like mine, they will help you with recommendations that compliment your meal like the pickled radishes for.the chicken, chef's kiss. 10/10 definitely recommend this place.“

“Every dish was incredibly delicious, and what stood out for me was the use of homegrown chili peppers from their garden. The sikhye, chueotang (loach soup), pa kimchi, and kongnamul guk (soybean sprout soup) were all delightful. They also offer a variety of tasty rice cakes. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing food and service! My family and I have been coming here for years- we are always blown away by the quality of the food and meat. There are so many options to select from and the service is always 10/10! Staff members are so friendly and super attentive. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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