39 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Palisades Park

“I’ve been to rock 21 a couple times with a few friends and I have to say it’s actually one of the best karaoke spots in Palisades Park. The food is great, and so are the drinks, And honestly, the service was exceptional.“

“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!“

“This place is GREAT!

We were craving for some ttukbokki and kimbop, decided to try for a new place.

Their kimbop is delicious, great fillings and well seasoned seaweed.

Ttukbokki came out nice and hot. Rice cake was nicely cooked and seasoned. But come on, look at the boiled egg, it’s not one of those overcooked yolk!!

Ramyun and udon was also delicious, noodles were done jussssssst right. I will admit that I was a little thrown off by mixed greens on ramyun.

Donkatsu was one of the best as well. Pork was just the right amount of thickness and crispy.

I also don’t feel like crap after eating the food there, not over seasoned with high sodium or MSG.

People were also great there, highly highly recommend it!“

“My absolute favorite place!“

“The food is excellent and remarkably reasonably priced. Although it’s a self-service setup, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes me feel genuinely well taken care of. Only place where I feel a little guilty when they skip the tip option sometime. 😊“

“Nice welcoming and great warm service! We love authentic Korean foods and all customers were Korean except us. Noodles was little too soft but other than that we enjoyed our meal. Definitely we will return!

The best service ever. Thank you“

“Been loving this restaurant for years… it is an absolute gem.

They offer an incredible banchan spread - clean, tasty, well balanced, never too sweet/salty - all homemade with care by their sajangnim (who also oversees the room with understated competence, the pro that she is).

Wife and I usually get chadolbegi and samgyupsal, and the cuts are always top quality. And you must know that their gyeran-jjim & denjang-jjigae (included with the meal set) are elite.

We always leave full and satisfied with the dining experience.

Notable that all of the servers are so attentive and friendly - especially Ms Kang, Ms Cho, and Helen unni (super mom of four grown kids!)… we always feel welcomed here, a neighborhood spot staffed by friends & family.

There are so many eateries in Fort Lee & Pal Park, which is of course a blessing… but Moo & Oink stands out and deserves all the stars!“

“Perfectly done so delicious“

“First time here yesterday and the food is great! I love all the selections and there’s great vegetarian options. Their egg fried rice was super fluffy and soft, worth the try! I got about 1.5 lbs of dry pot at 0.5 spicy and it was too spicy for me. I also think the saltiness can be reduced. Service was quick and restaurant is clean.
Would definitely come back to try other items.
Only three parking spots available.“

“I am absolutely delighted with the experience.
We visited for a family gathering and were shown to a private room; the service was attentive, and they kept refilling the delicious side dishes.
The sashimi was fresh, as was all the seafood. There was a wide variety of tasty accompanying dishes, and the staff were all friendly.
The aged kimchi was particularly outstanding—the assorted sashimi paired with it was truly delicious.
The portions were so generous that they even packed up the spicy fish stew for us to take home.
It was a truly enjoyable and delicious meal.
Thank you.“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“Great set up outside with tents and lights. Food is very fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. Prices are reasonable . Will , definitely , be back. Thank you Kumade!“

“I ordered a set combo for take out. It was really good! The chicken had the perfect amount of sauce and stayed crispy for a long time. I got the yangnyeom and honey soy sauce tenders and both flavors were very tasty. The combo had a great portion of chicken. I would order from here again. I didn’t care much for the cheeseballs though, they were kind of bland.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“If you want to recharge your energy, this is a must-visit, one-of-a-kind wellness food spot in Palisades Park, NJ.

With chicken so tenderly slow-cooked that the meat just falls off the bone, the combination with the rich, deep broth is pure art.
Aside from the classic chicken Baeksuk, the lineup including duck, neungi mushroom, lacquer, abalone, and Haesintang is incredibly impressive. Depending on your preference, it was great to be able to choose between the deep 'herbal broth' or the savory, chewy 'nurungji porridge.'

The variety of side dishes isn't huge, but the sweet and sour pickled vegetables served with it make an amazing combo with the Baeksuk.

On top of that, with the complimentary pancake that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, it is a generous spread that will instantly bring back your lost appetite.

The portion is so huge at about 3 to 4 servings, the more people you go with, the better the value.
I highly recommend it for bringing your parents or as a group gathering spot for friends.

Because Baeksuk dishes require a long cooking time, a phone reservation at least 90 minutes in advance is an absolute must! If you just walk in, you might not be able to get a table, so make a reservation before you visit!“

“I had an amazing experience at Tang Maru! The Sundae-guk (Korean blood sausage soup) was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich, deep, and full of flavor, and the sundae and meat were tender and fresh. It tasted like a comforting homemade Korean meal.

The side dishes were also excellent, and the service was friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for authentic Korean soup in New Jersey, I highly recommend giving Tang Maru a try. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“very spicy noodles so, my family happy“

“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.“

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

“We LOVE this restaurant AMAZING FOOD AND PRICE. Not a fancy restaurant but it’s ok for us. Coming here for 10 years. Seeing same faces and dedicated quality of food is not easy to keep up for some establishments . BRAVO TO OWNER and managers.“

“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😁“

“I’ve been living in New Jersey for quite a while, but it’s been years since I last visited a Jokbal place. Today, I finally stopped by and ordered Bossam, and I was so surprised and happy to see the former owner of Chung Ki Wa, a well-known restaurant I remember from Flushing!

Her son took over this Jokbal & Bossam takeout spot a few years ago, and she is helping out while he is away on vacation. It was so nice to see her again. She has always been an amazing cook, and today was no exception.

I picked up my order a little late, so the Bossam had cooled down a bit, but the meat was still incredibly tender and delicious. I especially loved the kimchi. It was so fresh and crunchy, and the radish was absolutely delicious too. Everything tasted great even after it had cooled down.
Such a wonderful surprise and a delicious meal! 😀“

“I had the curry pork cutlet, and it was absolutely delicious. The curry tasted so much like Abiko Curry in Korea, which brought back great memories. The pork cutlet was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and paired perfectly with the rich curry sauce. I also tried the cream curry pasta, and it was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. The portions were generous, the staff was friendly, and the overall dining experience was excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Japanese-style curry!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our food the last several times we were here. From the variety of side dishes to the bibimbap, galbi BBQ, cold noodles, seafood pancake, everything on the table was fresh, seasoned just right, and delicious. The servers were very attentive and accommodating. If you want an authentic Korean BBQ or Korean food, I highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you’re craving lamb skewers, this the place to go for grilled meat skewers over charcoal. Their fried squid and clams were spicy but tasty. Guobaorou was a bit too sweet and sticky, but overall the food was quite good. The owner was friendly and he spoke Chinese, English and Korean very well. A solid spot for Chinese style skewers.“

“Spacious and clean. 10/10“

“Good spicy foods, and friendly waiters“

“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 +_+“

“Absolutely loved it! I tried it on a friday and my experience was so phenomenal i went back Saturday with some friends and then we picked up food sunday. Ellis (idk how to spell her name) was our waitress/server. She is beyond attentive! She noticed we we like BTS and put some songs on. My friend dropped her chopsticks and she immediately gave her a new pair without us even asking. And throughout our time there is was always like that. Can't say enough positive things about the service. And the food... 😍 Amazing. Loved the galbi, kimchi fried rice, kimchi jigae and so much more . Wish they had more drink options but we only wanted water anyway. Ao 1,000/10 highly recommend“

“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.“

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