50 Best Korean Restaurants near Paramus

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

“Always our go-to place in Paramus. We have yet to do their bbq but plan to soon. All their à la carte dishes we’ve tried is good/legit. Recently ordered their mul naengmyun (cold buckwheat noodles) - this was so good, chewy noodles. We also ordered the galbi dolsot bibimbap which came out on a big sizzling pan with a good amt of veggies, galbi and rice that was crisping on the bottom. And the duk mandu guk (dumpling soup with rice cakes) - also 😋. Banchans were fresh. Service is different depending on who you get 😆, but even just the food is worth going for.“

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

“so fresh. highly recommend everything on the menu is so good“

“Visited for the first time and had a great experience. The galbijjim was incredibly tender and full of flavor, and the naengmyeon paired perfectly with it. All of the side dishes were fresh and tasted homemade. The staff was friendly and attentive even though the restaurant was busy. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in the area.“

“I love this place. Whether you want some k-bbq or kalbi-tang or even some nangmyun, this is always the perfect place!
The waiters are very attentive and helpful.
I’ve tried different k-bbq places in NJ but wooga is the best among them.
Specially their yookhye is the best of the best. I love korean style beef tartare and no place can beat it. I can eat it literally every day 😆“

“Tried Wonder for the first time and I ain’t gonna lie, it was better than I expected. I got the chicken sandwich and fries, and both were fire. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and actually seasoned. Fries came out hot too. Food was ready quick, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely one of those spots I’ll hit again when I don’t feel like cooking. Easy 9/10.“

“Okay so I do think this is a chicken and burger joint now combined together on the outside of the building. I really didn't notice the time for the chicken place. It was any small corner lit up attached to a burger place. With that said I am not mad at it as I ordered the bulgogi burger which was so good. Very soft and flavorful and I also ordered a order of 10-piece wings. I split it between soy, garlic and sweet and spicy. Now for me I am a Korean chicken lover and I just did it fully get the full experience of Korean Chicken meaning that in every bite it is very crunchy and it is packed with the sauce flavor on top for me. I did not get that full effect and that's really why. I love Korean f and wings that are usually double fried so they get a very nice crunch and the sauce is usually nicely styled on now. There was something wrong with the sauce but I would have liked to have a little bit more of it as well as more of a crunch. I would definitely come back here. I did notice that the burger place and the chicken plays. I have menus but a little bit different. I did order from Uber eats so I didn't really notice that at the time until I really checked out your iron. They do have the tablet where you can order from as soon as you get there. That has Uber just did for both places. However I was very happy with the wings. I got 10 pieces which I think you can order. I only ordered through the bloomberger site and they were nice sizes.“

“They were short staffed but the owners were so cute and attentive as possible. We had a larger group and ordered several items which were all delicious. The flavors weren’t extremely different from each other, even the spiciest wasn’t that spicy but the crispy outer layer of the chicken was perfect along with the tiny hint of spice. My personal fav was the galbi kimbab. Please support this local business! They even let us turn on the tv to play the Knicks game. What more can you ask for?“

“The front host was nice, she's sweet and quiet:)
I like the atmosphere, it has low lighting and it's chill, I came in on a rainy day so there werent many people.
The cheese donkatsu is very good, I liked the sauce a lot and its almost as good as the one I ate in Korea.
Overall decent place!“

“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've tried many Korean restaurants, but this is always my go-to. The food is authentic, fresh, and healthy, with clean, light flavors that never feel heavy. My parents love coming here too because it reminds them of traditional home-cooked Korean food. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and the fact that they don't use MSG makes it even better. Easily a 10/10!“

“Very good dolsot bibimbap but just wish it had a fried egg. My wife was happy they offered cold glass noodles as it was super hot outside, and the bingsu was a treat with the red bean flavored one being surprisingly really good (mango was great). Very large and generous portions“

“I always get the galbi tang when I come here. They use actual beef ribs and it’s absolutely delicious. The mandoo and dumplings are all great steamed or fried. Every dish I’ve had here from the noodles, meat, appetizers have all been delicious.“

“This spot serves naengmyun that tastes better than most places in MD, though the quality of noodles are inconsistent. My son's noodles were undercooked and overly tangled, however, mine was ok. The LA galbi was very good and makes for a fantastic meal when ordered with their combo menu.“

“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!“

“Such comforting and delicious soups 🤍 I usually get the dumpling and rice cake soup and it’s hardy and the perfect pick me up after a long day. Their banchan is also immaculate, fresh, and flavorful! Happy to support this small business and will be continuing to order from them 😊“

“Food was great and the service was very good. Surely we will come back and we will recommend the place.“

“Many people seem to enjoy this place, and there is a good variety of food and drinks. The food was generally quite good, except for the jjimdak (steamed chicken). It looked amazing in the menu photos, but it arrived undercooked and had to be cooked longer at our table, which took quite a while. When it was done. it was also a bit spicier than we expected as well
The restaurant was very busy on a Friday night, with people waiting for tables. Because of that, it felt like there was some pressure to finish and leave rather than relax and stay for a long conversation. In that sense, it felt more like a traditional Korean restaurant than a bar where you can sit with friends and talk for hours. Overall, the food and atmosphere were good, but the dining experience felt a bit rushed.“

“Kimbab Cafe is my new favorite kimbap spot in North Jersey. I love the tuna and spicy pork kimbaps while my wife loves the kimchi kimbap. The coffee was also delicious. They were sold out of ddukbokki when we went so we are excited to go back to try it!“

“My wife and I have eaten here a few times and the food always amazes, every dish we've had has been fantastic. The creamy udon were such an interesting and delicious fusion(?). My steak tartar bulgogi was also out of this world and I cannot wait to get it again.“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“We were so fortunate to have such a wonderful server assist us Chad. His attentiveness throughout the meal was truly remarkable. They offered excellent recommendations with a genuine smile. Every request was handled promptly and with great care. It's clear they take pride in providing exceptional service. We truly appreciated their positive and welcoming demeanor. Our experience was elevated significantly thanks to their efforts. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment based on their outstanding hospitality.“

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

“Best korean shabu in Fortlee“

“If you haven't been to Q Grill in Fort Lee yet, you are seriously missing out. We had an great meal, but a few dishes absolutely stole the show.
The experience started off strong because the banchan was incredibly plentiful, giving us so many great sides to taste. A huge standout was the kimchi, it tasted so fresh yet beautifully and well-fermented, hitting that perfect balance of crunch and tang. For the main event, we opted for the Trinity Wagyu combination, and it was spectacular. The beef was incredibly velvety, rich, and luxurious. To call it tender is an understatement—every single bite practically melted in my mouth, packed with that premium, juicy flavor you only get from high-quality Wagyu cuts.
The JapChae was executed perfectly with that ideal, bouncy chew and a beautifully balanced, savory-sweet sesame soy sauce. We also ordered the spicy rice cakes with cheese, which were the ultimate comfort food—perfectly chewy with just the right amount of kick, smothered in melted, gooey cheese.
Between the generous sides, the cheese-pulled rice cakes, and the top-tier meats from the Trinity combo, Q Grill is officially a favorite. Can't wait to come back!“

“I have been a customer here since they first opened. The server is nice as usual. The food used to be better. I recommend the Gomtang more than the Yukgaejang. Yukgaejang used to taste a lot better in the past. The place needs to turn up the AC during the summer.“

“We were recommended this place by a family friend, and we were so glad we got to try this place when we were in town!
This is solely a carry-out spot, so be warned that there isn't anywhere to sit down.
The owners are so lovely and helpful and it seems like they have quite the variety of frozen dumplings! They do also have smaller packs of ready-to-eat dumplings on display that you can ask to be steamed on the spot. We got the shrimp dumplings, which comes with a ?cilantro cream sauce, and the pork dumplings. They were definitely some of the best dumplings we had. We drove up from south jersey, so we got a few ready-to-eat packs and steamed them at home. The dumpling skins are so incredibly thin, in the best way possible and the fillings were fresh, light, flavorful, and well balanced! We will definitely be returning when we're back in town!“

“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.“

“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“

“Malamini is my go-to comfort food spot near home. Whenever I don’t know what to eat, I end up getting their malatang. The sesame sauce is especially good and really makes the bowl. Their ice cream is also surprisingly great. Simple, satisfying, and always hits the spot.“

“I recently discovered this restaurant through a friend, and it has quickly become my favorite Korean BBQ spot.

The pork belly and fresh duck BBQ are simply the best I've ever had. The pork belly is served with four different sauces, each adding its own unique flavor, while the fresh duck is incredibly tender and delicious.

One of the highlights is the fried rice prepared at the end of the meal. A left-handed staff member with a topknot hairstyle works magic with a pair of scissors, cutting up the remaining pork belly and expertly stir-frying it with kimchi, seaweed, and rice right on the grill. It's the best Korean BBQ fried rice I've had in Palisades Park.

What makes the experience even better is the warm hospitality. The owner always greets guests with a big smile, and the entire staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

This is my favorite place for pork belly and duck BBQ, and it has become a small weekly tradition for me after a round of golf. Highly recommended!“

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

“The lunch box is incredibly well-prepared and delicious.

The neat and elegant packaging makes the meal feel even more premium.

It’s also a great choice for church gatherings or as a gift. This lunch box truly made my day a happy one!“

“The workers were incredibly friendly. Great personalities. The place is very clean. And the food was very good. Flavorful chicken. The sides are a lot of fried foods too, but those were still very good. Nothing felt overly seasoned either, so you can enjoy eat thing you get without what you ate before overpowering your taste buds.“

“What makes this spot so special isn't just the incredible food, but the family feel created by Kathy, Min, Sheena, Chloe, and Cristina. The attention to detail in every dish is incredible—from the expertly prepared chicken and delicious homemade sauce to the fluffy rice, avocado, egg, and mouthwatering dumplings. It’s easily one of the best meals I’ve ever tasted. Add in their consistently fresh sushi and the warm, appreciative staff, and it’s unbeatable. Thank you all for always making every visit feel so special!“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“Fabulous place to eat! It’s been a place that hasn’t changed in all these years and the service is always top notch here!“

“I’m a snobby ktown LA born Korean American who lived in Korea. I talk crap about most Korean places because they’re just not as good as the west coast but this is by far the absolute best Korean bbq place in all of NJ/NY. Hands down. Super OG place that does actual charcoal grills you literally feel like you’re transported back to the 90’s getting fed Korean bbq at the only spot your parents went to. The place that you went for every graduation, special occasion and celebration. It really doesn’t get better than this.“

“The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is super-friendly & attentive. Will definitely come back!“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“If you're looking for an amazing Korean wings, look no further! This place has nailed it. The chicken itself was incredibly fresh, with a perfectly tender inside and a satisfyingly crispy outside. They were generous with the sauce, ensuring every bite was flavorful and delicious. I also appreciated the small touches, like providing free gloves to keep my hands clean – a sign they really care about the customer experience. The presentation of the wings was also top-notch, making it visually appealing as well as delicious. To top it all off, Han was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“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!"“

“Wow. The price and the food was immaculate. We ordered the roll for 3 and the love for 2 combo. The server was really polite on getting my drink and i was very pleased with the welcome. Then, we received our food, and then when i tell you it was DELICIOUS AND HIGH QUALITY. I mean it. Please come to Sushi Koshi as a way for family dining or casual dine, it is worth every penny and it is very affordable and good quality“

“What a great find locally! Food is always great and enjoyable at a reasonable price especially for lunch specials! Nice cozy atmosphere!

Tucked into a small strip mall in a residential edge of town, you might miss it, but it has its own parking lot so that’s a nice help considering how difficult parking is in the rest of the town.“

“Really delicious place🤤You can truly taste authentic Korean flavors here. The dishes are made with care everything is fresh, flavorful. Every detail reflects Korean cuisine and its traditions. If you want to try real Korean food, not an adapted version, this is definitely a place worth visiting. Even takeout dishes keep their flavor and quality. I keep coming back here again and again🤭“

“Tried ARIA with friends and it felt very different from the typical Korean restaurants we usually visit.

The braised oxtail was the standout. The meat was incredibly tender and the sauce had a nice sweetness without being too heavy. Even the carrots and rice cakes in the pot were delicious.

We also ordered the Boyang Samhap, which comes with eel, octopus, and smoked duck. The combination sounded unusual at first, but it worked really well. Everything is served with fresh vegetables and toppings so you can make your own wraps. Fun to share and great for a group.

The portions are large, and while some dishes are on the pricier side, they’re definitely meant for sharing.

Bonus points for easy parking.“

“My favorite healthy food spot in Edgewater! The bibimbap is to so tasty. You can tell that the restaurant put a love of love and effort to each menu item. It’s fresh, flavors are on point, and better than most restaurants. The owner is kind and whenever I visit, I’m compelled to share the food with my close friends which I do many times as sharing is caring!“

“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.“
