50 Best Korean Restaurants near Westwood

“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!"“

“The food it was really good and reasonable price See you again Bop N Sushi“

“excellent food and portions highly recommend eating here“

“Situated in a tranquil neighborhood near Fort Lee, NJ, this restaurant offers a delightful dining experience that feels like a hidden gem. The beef short ribs were a standout, cooked to perfection with a tenderness that melts in the mouth. The sauce and seasoning complemented the meat impeccably, adding depth without overpowering the natural flavors. Equally impressive were the cold noodles, which brought a refreshing and unique combination of flavors and textures, making for an ideal contrast to the rich short ribs. Visiting on a quiet Sunday afternoon, I found the atmosphere serene and the service attentive and courteous. This is a spot well worth a visit for those seeking exceptional Korean cuisine in a relaxed setting.“

“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.“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“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.“

“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 ^^“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I’ve been getting food from here for 10+ years now and they never disappoint. If you want the taste of authentic home-cooked Korean food, look no further. They have a delicious variety of banchan, soups, rice cakes, and other grab-and-go style items that are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. I highly recommend the dakgangjeong, sauna-style eggs, ddukbokki, and kimbap. The woman that usually works the counter is also so sweet and polite!“

“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.“

“We’ve been here many times, and the service is always excellent. It’s a great spot to visit, especially if someone in the group isn’t a fan of seafood. Although it’s a seafood restaurant, they offer a variety of delicious Korean dishes. Our favorites are 김치찌개, 돈까스, and 한치회무침—which almost tastes like 물회, just without the soup. All the rolls are fantastic as well. Highly recommend!“

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

“Busan Gukbap is a hidden gem that delivers an authentic taste of traditional Korean comfort food. Their gukbap (rice soup) is an absolute delight, with a rich, flavorful broth that’s perfectly seasoned and brimming with depth. The tender pieces of pork are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the side dishes (banchan) are fresh and thoughtfully paired to enhance the meal.

The attention to detail is evident, from the fresh green onions and spices you can adjust to your liking, to the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're looking for a hearty, satisfying meal or an introduction to one of Korea's classic dishes, Busan Gukbap is an experience you shouldn't miss.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I went to try the teppan jjajang because I heard it was delicious, and it was delicious when I ate it right on the teppan at the store! The sweet and sour pork had a clean color and was delicious without being too greasy.
There are pictures of the new menu items on the wall, and they all look delicious, so I want to try them again next time I go!“

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

“Food is great! Authentic Korean food😍😍“

“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!!“

“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!“

“My friend ordered from here takeout while I was with her. I tried a whole bunch of different foods she bought for like $55 worth. They were all very good from 5 different dishes I tried.

Parking: Maybe 7 spots of parking but that's good enough. I think there are spots across the street too. I wasn't paying that much attention because it was a spontaneous visit.“
