50 Best Korean Restaurants near River Edge

“I ordered lunch from Don Chicken for our office catering, and it was beyond amazing! 😄
The delivery was on time, and they brought everything we could need plates, forks, spoons, napkins, ketchup—so easy for everyone to serve themselves. They were super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.

The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. Everything was tasty, but the seasoned chicken and rose tteokbokki were absolute highlights. Nothing was soggy, and you could tell everything was made fresh. Everyone in the office loved it!!!

It also felt like the ownership has changed, because the service and attention to detail were completely different from our 2yrs previous order.

I will definitely be ordering twice a month from now on. If you want fresh, tasty, and hassle-free catering, this place is a must!“

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

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

“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!“

“All time favorite place to eat authentic traditional Korean food! For many years I know this restaurant, and I came always with family to spend a good time together and enjoy their famous galbi. Love the fantastic food, and plus their new place is so beautiful and big! Thank you!“

“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.“

“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 wish I took a photo before I ate it. But, if you want something clean and delicious to eat for Korean food, this is THE spot to eat at out of the tri-state area. Usually Korean soup based foods tend to have either too much sodium and additives to make the flavor powerful, or not enough to bring the flavor out. Genuinely, you can NEVER go wrong with this place. I got 육개장 칼국수 (Spicy Beef Handmade Noodle Soup), and you can ask to see if you can add dumplings in the soup for extra.“

“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“

“Wow!!! Best elevated authentic Korean cuisine I had so far!
Beef tartar with gochujang was so fresh and texture was perfect.
Mushroom Tangsoo was so firm and hit sweet and sour note.
Neobiani Gui (fire grilled steak) was amazing esp with chive & onion mix.
I loved Spicy octopus stir fry with udon noodle. Side dishes that came with were all perfectly seasoned and delicious.
Price was affordable and ambience was elegant.
My brother who tried food here took me here to treat me and it was one of the best Korean food experiences I had in a while.
Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes!“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is a charming place to enjoy authentic Korean food. The presentation of Jjampong was so pleasing to the eye. The noodles and vegetables were perfectly cooked. The fire cooked Galbi was so delicious and full of flavor. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and genuine stuff in their cooking. Friendly owners and love to visit again and again.“

“Jangkalguksu was delicious. The moderately spicy and moderately rich taste of the soybean paste soup went well with the chewy noodles. The soup would have been delicious even when eaten with rice. I didn't add rice because I thought I would be too full. To be strict, I was a little disappointed that jalapenos were used instead of Cheongyang peppers because of the greenish smell of jalapenos, but considering that it is not easy to find Cheongyang peppers here and that jalapenos are an excellent ingredient for adding spiciness, I can fully understand it. It was part.“

“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.“

“SB K-BBQ was recommended to me by a close friend, and it absolutely delivered. After visiting Seoul and Jeju this past April, my family and I had been craving authentic Korean BBQ—and this place brought us right back.

The quality of the meat is outstanding. The moksal (pork neck) and samgyeopsal (pork belly) are cut thick—just as thick, if not thicker, than what we had in Korea. Grilled over real charcoal, the flavor is rich and smoky, enhancing every bite.

They also offer perilla leaves for your ssam wraps, which is a detail I truly appreciate and rarely find at K-BBQ spots in the U.S.

Even though we live in Philadelphia and it’s over a 2-hour drive, we’ve already made the trip twice—that’s how good it is. If you’re craving a taste of Korea, SB K-BBQ is more than worth the journey. Highly recommended!“

“They are known for making their own tofu. Their tofu soup is pretty good. They have this powder, which I think is perilla powder, that gives it a unique broth flavor. Bibimbap is good as well; the pork is marinated very well and is tender. I don't really like the service here tho. I asked which dish do you recommend, and they said everything and just walked me through the items in the menu lol. Food also takes a while to come out.“

“I've been coming here for kimbap and sushi for a while now, and I’m a fan. The kimbap is always fresh, and the rice is perfectly cooked every time. The sushi holds up well, too. I recently ordered two platters (20 rolls), and they were nicely put together—looked great and tasted fresh. The staff was also kind enough to bring it out to my car, which I really appreciated. As a repeat customer, I’m happy with the quality and service.

They only thing I would stay away from is the vegetable kimbap. I ordered that accidently once and it was so bland - lettuce does not belong in kimbap! There could be better veggie options.“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“Our favorite spot!
We've been coming here regularly for a long time and can’t recommend it enough. The food is consistently amazing - The quality of the meat is great, the portions are generous and the side dishes and kitchen items always hit the spot.
The atmosphere is cozy and
fun and most importantly Dave and the staff are amazing. They always take such great care of us.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, drinks and an experience that feels like home“

“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.“

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

“For a fast bibimbop takeout place, it's great, reasonably priced and healthy. The one or two tables they have inside are primarily there to just wait for your food if it's not ready yet. They do have a couple of outdoor tables they share with the pizza place next door. However, the inside is very utilitarian. The food was prepared fresh and was tasty.... I will get food for takeout anytime!“

“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 ^^“

“Excellent service good food.“

“5/5 Chadol Sullungtang -- probably one of the best ones in the NY/NJ area !! So flavorful, piping hot, and very generous portion of beef and noodles!

5/5 Kimchi and Kkakdugi Banchan

5/5 Grilled Mackerel - cooked to flakey and tender perfection!

4.5/5 Jokbal -- very tender and loved the dipping sauces with the flavor of the pork trotters“

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

“This place is a gem…the best neng myun - better than some I’ve had in Korea. And their ribs rock too. They give you hot broth with the cold noodles too. And it tastes legit. Don’t go to the place in front of Kings spa thinking it’s a chain. I made that mistake and the food is entirely different. The dining room stops taking orders at 8:40 because they close at 9.“

“Korean hotdogs!!!!
Bubble tea!!!!
Fried chicken!!!!
Korean sweet and spicy sauces!!!!

Every item listed tasted great.

Will try some Korean dishes over rice next time!
There is nowhere in the neighborhood with this type of food…. What a welcome surprise!“

“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.“

“Place is quite nice. My friends enjoyed their meals very much. It is a bit tough finding vegetarian dishes here and I wish the restaurant kept at least one or two large vegetarian dishes that arent pork/beef broth based. However, this may already be known to people before they come in, so shouldn't detract from the review. Ambiance and service were great!“

“Great experience, awesome food, and the staff are super friendly. The atmosphere is very chill and they're open late. The owner even came out and schooled us on how to cook shabu shabu properly. Highly recommended, it's also kid friendly and they'll be open during lunch hours during the summer season. The patrons there won't cause a ruckus and it's a great crowd all around.“

“This place has both Korean BBQ grill and traditional Korean dishes. Actually it has a surprisingly wide selection of traditional Korean dishes despite the name. Interior is nicer than most others. Service was great (they grill it for you table side). Parking available. Lunch specials too. Very comfortable and delicious spot. I will be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We went for the all in one box because it was easily enough for two. The honey soy flavored chicken was fresh, crispy and scrumptious. It paired well with the waffle, and the fresh pineapple and ripe tomatoes. The box comes with a heap of fries and a mozzarella stick. The milk teas are generously sized, and there are many other tasty looking permutations. The cashier offered us complimentary vegetable dumplings which had a light crispy fried skin and flavorful fillings; I only wish there were more of the dipping sauce 🤩So glad we stopped by for an impromptu date.“

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

“My favorite AYCE hot pot ever r r r r r r! I come here all the time when I’m craving for hot pot-shabu. The place is a perfect spot for anyone who loves AYCE please come support them. Shabu House offers variety of food and everything is fresh with a reasonable price. Staff are very friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10!!“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

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

“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 🤤🤤🤤“
