50 Best Korean Restaurants near Ridgewood

“If you see a sign that says Tomo Sushi, it's the right place. I was confused because I came for Hama Korean, but I talked to the owner of the restaurant and she said it's Hama Korean. I almost went back home, but I am glad I asked the owner.

I absolutely loved food - especially bibimbap - at Hama Korean and so good.

The sign may say Tomo Sushi, but when I asked the restaurant owner, he said it was Hippo Korean. The owners are the same and the food tastes just as good ^^“

“Drove 37 miles to try this place and was not disappointed. We got the hot cho and cholander sandwiches for lunch and they were so good we had to trade bites. Already planning another drive down to try a bunch of the dinner options 😎“

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

“excellent food and portions highly recommend eating 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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had korean bbq. It was pretty costly, but the meat, as far as I can tell, wasn't cheap meat, so all was good.

They also give you a good variety or banchan and they'll make fried pork belly rice if you leave some pork belly pieces after having the kbbq (add. charge)“

“The place was small but cozy. The cuts and the meat were really nice and taste delicious. The cost a little bit high but I guess if you want to go and have a special time with friends may be worth it. However, since it was people waiting outside for a table our waiter was a little bit anxious so, we pay the bill and leave the table, no time for chitchat at all after eating, in case you want to go in a date or so. Also, when we arrived we had to wait 45 minutes to get a table. I don’t know it this is what always happens at night but I just mentioning so people that want to visit this place are aware that this may happen to them. You can not make a reservation ahead so it is what it is when you arrive there. Overall a nice experience.

Parking: The parking space was big enough so you don’t have to worry about parking

Kid-friendliness: Nice environment“

“My family’s go-to spot whenever we’re up in palisades park. The noodles are absolutely amazing, I actually prefer the sujebi over the noodles and it is equally as good. The starters are also good and the side dishes are always fresh, portion sizes are good and definitely worth the price!“

“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.“

“First of all, the food is clean and delicious. The appetizers were oyster pancake, tteokbokki, and shrimp dumplings. The main dishes were galbijjim, samgyetang, gukbap, naengmyeon, and soy sauce marinated crab, and they were all really delicious. It's a good place for family meals and to bring guests.“

“Amazing experience here at SB KBBQ. The food is excellent and it has a bunch of meats such as duck and seafood! We went with combo B and it was so good! Such a generous amount of food. We ordered the spicy rice cake as well as the kimchi fried rice! The charcoal made the food so tasty and the staff took amazing care of us. Would highly recommend!“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“Really good dumplings! A lot of places leave me sick after eating dumplings. Especially store bought frozen ones. These are both amazing in quality and taste. I love their shrimp and kimchi pork dumplings. I need to try the rest. You can buy them freshly steamed or frozen.“

“This restaurant takes your order like fast food, but with Korean food, and the system is so easy. The food comes out relatively quickly for Korean cuisine.

I always get the mul naengmyeon and pork combo, perfect for the summer.

The vibe is nice and quiet, and while it might get busy, people come in and out fast.“

“I met a friend for breakfast and submitted two menu items for dinner.
The food tasted better than I expected, but while I was eating the soup I ordered, I felt a bit uncomfortable feeling the thin sand chewing on the rice.
I was halfway through eating it because I couldn't eat it anymore so I threw it away.
I enjoyed the dogani soup and beef stew, but while eating the soup, I felt the crunchy feeling of sand that I felt from the siraegi...
Ha... it was really bad.ㅠㅠ
I think it would be a good idea to wash the rice cooker more thoroughly.“

“Potato pancake and cold noodle are great. Suyuk is an excellent choice if u like boiled beef slices. Price is way cheaper than manhattan. Ox tail soup portion is about half compared to Korea. Decent taste. Ask for mustard sauce for those meats.“

“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.“

“Located inside the food court of the HMart in Little Ferry, this establishment recently opened in March at the former site of Menya Sandaime, where I came for lunch as a first-timer. Katsune Donkatsu features different katsus (panko-breaded meats). Most of them are variants on pork, though they offered chicken and shrimp as well. Greeted by the staff, I decided on their Katsune Donkatsu (deep-fried pork accompanied by salad, pickled onions, and rice). Perfectly cooked all the way through, as all pork should be with no fat, and fried outside in definitely fresh oil to look and taste. This was home-made bread crumbs (panko) done to perfection with fresh ingredients. It was so crispy, juicy, delicious, and not greasy. I was impressed by the quality of the food. The price was very reasonable, as the order was enough for two meals. The staff was very friendly and served promptly. I can recommend this place.“

“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.“

“Ordered via UberEats for a Wednesday pick-up at around 8 pm. There was a BOGO free special on boneless wings on UberEats, so we did a BOGO of the spicy soy garlic and the sweet and spicy. I thought a small order would only have 8 pieces, like wings normally would but it was massive. So essentially, our order was the equivalent of four small orders for two people but it was SO much chicken. We ordered way too much because I underestimated how big one order would be (but I’m not complaining)! We had leftovers for days so needless to say, I was sick of Korean fried chicken by the end of it. I really liked the spicy soy garlic but didn’t love the sweet and spicy. It’s really heavy on the honey, if you’re into that. The chicken comes with a side of pickled daikon cubes.

Next time, I’d like to see what the cheese snowing chicken is all about. Plus they’re other non-fried chicken dishes look pretty good and are reasonably priced as well.

Overall, it’s a good bang for your buck!!“

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

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“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!“

“Excellent! The experience we got was beyond expected and reminds you how many restaurants have forgotten how to really treat customers. The food was delicious, the waiters very kind and attentive, and the the manager is fully involved in every aspect, you can see him from hosting to helping waiters and customers. I was very surprised of the things they do to make you feel very welcome. We’ll definitely go back, it’s worth doing it.“

“Authentic seolleongtang with rice and kimchi all for $10 is an absolute steal in Palisades Park. This is my parents and I go to spot for quality and good priced Korean food.
The owners are very friendly too!!!
Bossam here was also very good!!!“

“I went here with my Wife for her Birthday 🎂 This place was great it is not to bad price wise they do cook everything in front of you for 2 with plenty of food out price was around 120$. If you like Korean BBQ style with pork belly this was a great place I will go again maybe for our anniversary next time 🤤🤤🤤“

“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!“

“The friendliest in New Jersey and most visited by You Tubers, the Galbitang and cold noodles NANGMEUN are the best in A MERICA“

“Very yummy! Came for a friends bday with a big group. Service was very kind and the food hit the spot :) Ordered the three different spice level and my favorite was the medium spice. Chicken to vegetable ratio was good and at the end we ordered fried rice and they gave it to us in a heart shape ❤️“

“Thanks to the kind Korean cashier, my family loves shopping at this store. Even my young child gets excited to go to H Mart, putting on her shoes as soon as she hears we’re going. During our last visit, I witnessed a younger customer (younger than the cashier) giving her a hard time for no apparent reason. Despite this, the cashier kept her smile and continued helping her to the very end, which reminded me of my mom. I felt sympathy, realizing how challenging that must have been for her. I’ll continue to visit this H Mart frequently. I’m grateful to have a Korean store near my home and truly appreciate the cashier who always greets us with a warm smile.“

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

“Best gimbap spot in the area. I’ve been to three other nearby spots and this one is by far the tastiest. The lady who is usually working there is also the most polite and courteous person I’ve ever met. I would give five stars just for her!“

“Among the crab combo, the soy sauce crab was just soso.. It was disappointing that there were no crab shells, and it had a slight crab smell..? Still, this crab paste seems to be good in the US, the abalone and shrimp paste are really delicious, and I ordered roe rice, but the roe rice was soft, so it goes really well with the abalone paste and shrimp paste. The green onion pancakes given as a side service were a bit greasy, but the flour was very thick and crispy, so it was totally my taste..🥰
I wasn't able to try Baeksuk because it requires a reservation 90 minutes in advance, but I registered it as a restaurant I want to come back to eat later!“

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

“Delicious chicken every time and owners are great“

“I love this place. It's my go to AYCE KBBQ. The food is delicious, the meats are fresh, and the staff are always friendly. The brisket, garlic cube steak, and cast iron steak are my favorite things to get. It's definitely worth indulging in.“

“If you’re looking for incredible food, warm hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere, look no further than Roll House Dragon . This local favorite is truly a gem, and my recent visit reminded me why small-town restaurants often have the biggest heart.

The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each crafted with care and packed with flavor. I started with the Dumplings , which was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to kick off the meal. For the main course, I opted for the chicken teriyaki bowl the flavors were absolutely divine, and the portion size was generous without being overwhelming.

What really stood out to me was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. You can tell they take pride in creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels at home.“

“They are a no frills, hole-in-the-wall Korean catering business but the food and price can’t be beat! They have also been able to accommodate a quick turnaround time (24 hours) for most common dishes. Our small church uses them almost monthly. The owner is a hard working woman and she can initially come off as being a little standoff-ish, but I’ve had nice conversations with her and she is very nice. The food is consistently good and our church has no complaints! Our go-to dishes are bulgogi, spicy pork, japchae, fried dumplings. We’ve also had the galbijjim, jengban gooksu (cold noodle salad with seafood), and gimbap which are all excellent.“

“Thank you for always having excellent service and such delicious food. My husband loves Tang Maru and today I wanted to surprise him with one of his favorite spicy pork belly. There was a mistake in the order, but they immediately brought it home hot. Thank you, thank you. We love you.“

“The crab cream croquette was crispy outside and creamy inside, nice as a starter.
The rose tteokbokki wasn’t too spicy and had a rich, creamy sauce.
Bingsu had soft milk ice with a good amount of strawberries.
I’d definitely recommend trying their bingsu.“

“This is a small catering business/food spot that only local koreans know about. There is no seating, so you come here to buy your food and bring it home.

They are known to have the best flavors in town. They have authentic Korean soups, meat dishes, side dishes, and more. A must try for anyone looking to bring food home to eat.

Hands down the best 잔치집 in NJ!“

“For a town with so many places to get kimbap, it is hard to earn the reputation of having “the best” kimbap in town, but they’ve done it. They consistently make the best kimbap in town fresh everyday, and they can even make kimbap to order, too.“

“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“

“It was soo amazing for my first time! The chicken was so crunchy and warm with the perfect amount of flavor. And the Tteobokki was also really good. I enjoyed itt. The employee was very kind and heart warming, like ur welcomed to the place. U get more than what u expect for the price, def worth it. Not to mention the foods are decorated so nicely and appetizing?“

“I’ve been to multiple BBQ Chicken restaurants and this one is THE BEST. Quality is so fresh, the restaurant is so clean and the fried chicken always hits the spot. The chicken is always so crispy and juicy every single time I get it. I also really recommend their rosé spicy rice cake!“

“사장부터 직원 매우 불친절..자리를 기다리는 사람들에 대한 관리가 전혀 없고 중간 중간 여사장이나 직원이 아는 손님이 오면 중간중간에 슬쩍 끼워 놓음.한시간 이상을 기다리는 손님에 대한 기본 예의 조차 없음..“
