40 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Palisades Park

“If you are in Nothern NJ this is the go to karaoke. They have a full compliment of English and Korean songs to sing and the sound system is crisp and clean. If you are looking to sing one song or song to your heart's content being the person who never let's go of the mic, I recommend to sing here. Bottle pricing is also very affordable here compared to other similar businesses.“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“My absolute favorite place!“

“Hands down my favorite Korean Fried Chicken joint in New Jersey. The Pelicana at PP delivers the most consistent sauce flavor and portion size among all other KFC places in my opinion. In addition, they always run promos which significantly helps the wallet. I’ve never eaten at the restaurant but it has the typical KFC vibes, fun, good music, with plenty of booze. About to place my weekly order here!“

“Saw it on Instagram and had to try — totally worth it 🔥😋 The spicy broth was perfect, not too hot but super flavorful!
Lots of toppings too. The clam kalguksu had tons of clams 🫶 but the noodle portion felt a bit small. Overall, so good! 🍜✨”“

“I recently visited Donghae. and it was an amazing experience. The seafood is incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the dishes are beautifully presented. The staff are very friendly and attentive, making the whole meal enjoyable. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner or a special occasion. I’ll definitely be coming back. highly recommend Donghae Susan if you love fresh seafood!“

“By far my fave kbbq spot. The meats are high quality and the servers are always very friendly. Their marinated short ribs and house special spicy pork are my absolute faves. Love how the charcoal flavor gets into the meat. Their mool nengmyun (buckwheat noodles in a cold broth) compliments their bbq meats really well, and their broth is the real deal. The Korean-style beef tartare (over seasoned sushi rice) is phenomenal and my must-eat every time I go.“

“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.“

“My fav hot pot spot in the area!

Good choices of veggies, workers add more and rotate them alot.

Employees are nice and helpful. The most notable for me is the Asian female, always see her helping with such a nice vibe. Hope her pillow is cold on both sides.

Never close or ill be so sad.“

“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!! ^^“

“The Nagasaki Champon is our new favorite. My wife and I had a very pleasant Sunday dinner. Haven’t had a meal this good in a long time. We were supposed to have dinner here some few weeks ago but the Fort Lee-Pal Park traffic congestion gets really bad. Last time we were here was in 2021!!. Now we can’t wait to go back. We also had the Salmon Roll and Yakitori Chicken, Pork, Beef and Mushroom wrapped in Bacon.“

“It was just delicious my family and I enjoyed 😋👍“

“Delivery and eat in.. always so good. Sicilian pizza is delicious 🤤“

“Excellent food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Ordered the Vegtable beef stew and Spicy squid hot pot. Everything was fresh and served quickly. Came three times in 2 weeks thats how much i loved this place. The owner is very kind and friendly as well. Also BYOB, which is a plus!“

“Perfectly done so delicious“

“My son and i ordered the small beef combo and we are both stuffed.

The meat was cooked accordingky to what we asked.

The staff were all smiles and accomodatin. Plenty of parking.

Highly recommended“

“맛있어요 그런데 국물요리맛에 기복이 있어요. 보통 식당에서 팔지않는 별미들이 많아서 좋아요. 더욱더 새로운 요리들을 개발해주셨으면해요.“

“맨날 피자속만 파먹고 끝에 잡고 먹는데는 버리고 그랬는데 고구마 치즈 바이트로 만들어 주시니까 먹고난 찌끄러기도 하나의 요리가 되요.“

“I absolutely loved the food here. it truly captures the cozy and rich flavors of authentic Korean home cooking. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the restaurant has such a comfortable, homelike vibe. I tried the soups, and every single one was delicious. If you enjoy a good mix of tender meat and fresh veggies, the stir-fried pork is a must-try. I’ve also heard their raw crab is famous among Korean diners, and I can see why! Everything here feels fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Highly recommended!“

“I’ve tried several soy-marinated crab spots in New York, and this one really stood out. The crab wasn’t overly salty at all, and the seasoning was perfectly balanced and very well done.

The sumac duck broth was on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it, especially in winter. I had been outside all day, and after one bowl of soup I instantly warmed up so much that I started taking layers off. The abalone porridge was also comforting and flavorful. And honestly, one of the best surprises was the free pancake SOOO GOOD.

We really appreciate that the front desk still allowed us to dine even though we arrived just one hour before closing. We ate quickly and even ended up finishing some of the food in the car on the way home 😆

Before coming, I was debating between several restaurants since we live on Long Island and don’t get to Fort Lee very often. I’m happy to say I have no regrets choosing this place.

Huge thanks to the Mexican girls who served us, everyone was super friendly and welcoming.“

“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. ❤️“

“Visit the bakery yesterday, and it was worth every dollar I spend. The Pecan cream ring tasted just how I remembered when I was a kid. I also bought one double chocolate cookie, which was amazing!! I wish I bough more. The staff was super nice and helpful. I grew up in pal park, and the bakery was always the go to spot for our desserts. Keep it going and no slacking on the deliciousness. Going back today for more cookies😁“

“This place serves some of the best jajangmyeon I’ve ever had. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the black bean sauce was rich, savory, and full of deep flavor without being too heavy. You can really tell the ingredients are fresh and well balanced. Portions were generous, and the service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic and delicious Korean-Chinese food!“

“Probably the best Korean Food found in NJ. I have frequently bought the Lunch Menu for my Kid and I was never disappointed. They prepare a various kinds of menu each day. I strongly encourage you to try this place if you’re looking for the best Korean Foods.“

“Abiko Curry really surprised me in the best way. Everything came out hot, crispy, and super satisfying, especially the fried items. The Japanese curry is classic and comforting, and it works with pretty much anything on the menu. I love how customizable it is, you can add whatever you want and build your own perfect bowl. I ordered the curry udon with melting cheese and a raw egg yolk, plus fried chicken and shrimp, and it was insanely good. The rose tteokbokki was also a standout, with chewy rice cakes, meaty sausage, and tons of gooey cheese. Big portions, great value, and an easy place to leave full and happy.“

“This is one outstanding Korean BBQ place where they have the coal fired tables and enough ventilation that you don’t smell like charcoal, but the pan-char dishes too begin with are amazing and kept coming, good service followed by attentive waitresses that explained which meats to order and what side dishes that would accompany them made us feel that were we in Seoul again.
Wow we really enjoyed the kabli BBQ and the scallion pancake and the kimchi Jigee, the Pork Belly was very good and the steamed egg appetizer that was complimentary was amazing, the friends tried 4 types of meats and 3 sides a great selection and we will be back with more friends, also delivers and there parking behind the restaurant.“

“I catered the food, and they did it really neatly, so we had a great party ♡The food was delicious, haha. Even if I tried to add more, they told me to stop because it was enough...there was a reason hahaha. The portion was really generous~~ I'll order it again next time +_+“

“I come across this place through Yelp and the presentation of the bingsu looks really pretty there. However, it looks like they don't do that pretty presentation anymore. It's kinda expensive but the portion is huge; like this 'small' size can feed 3-4 people. This one has mango, cheesecake bites, mochi, and condensed milk. The cheesecake bites can feel a bit too much after a couple bites.“

“very spicy noodles so, my family happy“

“For what I ordered (steamed chicken with broccoli - garlic sauce on the side for dipping as you like - or don't), it's very good. The chicken when steamed (if it is good) is how you can measure if the restaurant is any good and it defintely passed the test. Most other Chinese restaurants chicken when steamed (with no sauce on it and eaten) will taste gamey and just not edible in my book. This was NOT the case.
Other than that, the parking is non existent in the later hours till closing in front of the restaurant as the parking is shared with tenants of the building above and other restaurants in the same location. Not good for being on route 5 I can assure you, but still doable.
Lastly, I know it's a Chinese restaurant, but they rush you off the phone when ordering without you finishing a thought or a sentence. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT.
Have one more minute of patience and you might make more money per order. An extreme turn off when ordering anywhere really.
Lastly, NO DELIVERY.
Take this all into consideration and see if it's right with you. Any updates as to all items ordered, I will update here shortly. Happy food hunting....
***This is strictly an order to pick up type spot as the inside seating is small and needs a refresh if you ask me and some cleaning.“

“I ordered the bossam, but I heard this place is actually famous for their jokbal? 🫢

I had the bossam this time and now I really want to try their jokbal too.
The makguksu was a bit disappointing… even the extra order didn’t taste great 🙂‍↔️

But the kimchi was really good 🙌
Next time, I’m definitely ordering the jokbal.“

“Pretty expensive. Sliced lox on a plain bagel, and a bacon Taylor ham egg and cheese on a roll, and hot coffee ran me $30. I get it though. Paying staff a living wage and ingredient inflation is killing small businesses. At least it was very delicious. The employees are very consistent as well. Besides the price, I thought it was amazing.“

“They have an insanely wide menu—perfect for large groups and if people want different things! The food is super tasty and craveable, I always end up ordering 2 things for myself and taking the rest home. Their dubokki is the best I’ve ever had!“

“Good place to chill and get bubble tea after spa at King Spa! Huge interior to chill and relax! Location: It is located in Palisades Park. The store is big with a lot of seating! The interior is nice and you can feel that you want to study inside. Service: not that much interaction, i just ordered and go. Food: I only ordered BLACK SESAME BUBBLE TEA: it was good, and unlike other slushies that after a while you lost the taste. This one until the end you can taste the black sesame. They have wide variety of breads too, and I think they are good. Price rating: 5/10, not that bad. I will go there after spending my whole day at King Spa! Nice store to chill and relax.“

“Spacious and clean. 10/10“

“Excellent Northeastern Chinese skewers spot. It’s BYOB and there’s a liquor store across the street as well as a couple blocks away. The skewers are already pre-cooked when you get them, so you just need to cook them for a minute or two longer to heat them up and get a bit of char. The egg fried rice was really solid. The cold dishes were also good—flavors and textures were spot on. The plates for the cold dishes were pretty large and felt like they were sized for 4 people or more to split. Ended up spending around $70pp.“

“I ordered it for delivery a few times, and the taste of the sauce and seasoning were just right for my taste, so I plan to order it again.

-What I liked the most were Nanjawans and Yoo Sanseul. The Yusanseul was delicious as it came out exactly as I expected, and the Nanjawanse was a bit perplexed by its appearance as the individual pieces of meat were more round-shaped than I expected, but the sticky meat inside and soft texture on the outside went well with the sauce. I enjoyed it.
-I didn't enjoy the Jjajangmyeon and Kkanpunggi as much as I did, but since I live about an hour away from delivery, I think there was nothing I could do physically to prevent the noodles from going bad or the batter from becoming mushy.“

“Cozy cafe and their mugs are cute. I had their French vanilla coffee which was subtle and had a nice aroma.“

“I frequently order from The BBQ location in Palisades Park after my morning gym session. There are many choices for good Korean style fried chicken but i find BBQ’s to have the perfect blend of crispy/flaky on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. My personal favorite chicken place-ordering online 20 min before my gym session ends ensures a ready to go pick up with no wait time. Easy and convenient.“
