9 Best Korean Restaurants near New City

“My team of 18 people had a phenomenal meal here. The owner Nick was so accommodating and kind. We ordered two party platters and four flavors - Kalbi BBQ, Soy Garlic, Sweet and Spicy, and Ppurinkle. All of them were phenomenal but my favorite was the Kalbi (had a nice peppery heat). The chicken was crispy and succulent. The meal came with pickled radish and sodas. Absolutely recommend whether you're dining in or taking out.“

“Generous servings of delicious, authentic Korean food at a great price, efficient, attentive and friendly service, in a brightly-lit, spacious yet crowded, canteen-style venue with cheerfully chattering customers... we thought we had been transported back to Korea! We had long been aware that there are good Korean restaurants in Tappan, and now we're sorry that we didn't come sooner.
Hong Ban Jang is not your run-of-the-mill Korean restaurant: its menu is expansive, its offerings unique, its portions massive and its taste inimitable. For appetizers we ordered the Fried Glass Noodle Dumplings and Seafood Scallion Pancake. The dumplings are vegetarian, full of japchae style glass noodles and veggies. The pancake was crispy fried and filled with fresh seafood, esp. chopped squid. My husband and son picked every morsel of the yummy squid bits off the plate :-).
It's rare to find vegetarian cold noodles in a Korean restaurant, as the broth is invariably beef based. When I saw that Hong Ban Jang offered cold noodles in a bean broth, I decided to try them. What I received was not what I expected: the noodles were solid soy bean noodles, instead of the translucent buckwheat noodles. I was given a pot of salt to sprinkle on the noodles, as the dish itself had almost no seasonings. It was a very unusual experience for us (everyone shared some of my dish). The noodles were tasty despite lack of seasoning, the broth was thick, rich and creamy. We all loved it.
My husband ordered the Spicy Seaweed Soup with Oyster and Noodles. My son ordered Spicy Beef Brisket Bibimbap. I had some of the seaweed broth to warm up my stomach. Both reported that their dishes were super nice.
For a spacious dining area with no less than 20 tables, there were only 3 waitresses, but you'd think there was a platoon of them, as they possessed some kind of super power that enabled them to respond to everyone's need immediately, check on the customer's satisfaction multiple times, make recommendations, and offer solutions. Their kitchen must also be staffed with super-powered cooks, as they not only have to meet the demands of the premises, but also fill large quantities of take-out orders.
In short, Hong Ban Jang far exceeded our expectations, and we will for sure come back to try out other items on their menu!“

“Completely surprised and intrigued with the menu. This is NOT a Mexican food restaurant as the name might fool you. The shrimp taco wrapped in seaweed paper was so fresh tasting,crunchy and absolutely delish. Fried rice served in your own skillet and you mix the egg in was the best! The smores waffle with homemade custard ice-cream was to die for. Bartender Robbie is a pro mixologist with really new style drinks. This place was a treat and I cant wait to go back. Also the service was perfect!“

“This restaurant has quickly become my favorite place!!
The woman who owns it is so sweet and lovely! I love getting her recommendations and she makes all of the banchan and sauces herself!
I've gone several times and have ordered Bibimbap, Soon Tofu soup, sushi, seafood pancake, and chicken fried rice with kimchi. Everything is always so fresh and delicious!
The service is on the slower side (usually take around 45mins+) since they are a small team, but the food is completely worth it, and I personally don't mind the wait.“

“The sushi, rolls, and sashimi rice bowl were all incredibly fresh — you could taste it in every bite. The fish was clean and delicate, the rolls were packed with flavor, and the rice bowl was generous and perfectly seasoned. Easily one of the best Japanese meals I've had in a while. I'll definitely be coming back.👍“

“I had a fantastic meal from here today. The udon noodles were cooked perfectly and held onto the savory sauce, making for a truly satisfying lunch.

Everything was fresh, especially the bright, crunchy bell peppers and the tender slices of beef mixed throughout. It was a solid, comforting portion that hit the spot. I will definitely be ordering this again soon.“

“We had such a great experience here! Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the beef noodles with vegetables and the dumpling soup, and both were excellent. The complimentary side dishes were incredibly tasty, and we loved learning that many of the vegetables are grown by their own garden it really shows in the freshness and flavor.

The tea was also wonderful and paired perfectly with the meal.

The prices were very reasonable for the quality and generous portions. We enjoyed everything so much that we even ordered extra food to take home for our kids.

Friendly service, amazing food, fresh ingredients, and excellent value.

We will definitely be coming back.
Highly recommended! ⭐“

“The jjajangmyun here is better than a few places in NJ! My favorite though is the shrimp kanpoongi! It’s half the price and double the flavor with the same amount of shrimp compared to most restaurants. Went twice this week to order it. YUM!! The shrimp fried rice is on point too. You can’t beat the price over here.“

“Dined in today and the chicken was so crispy and delicious! It actually tasted even better than takeout. We had the soy sauce flavor and loved it. The tteokbokki here is also one of my favorites. Everything was fresh, crispy, and tasty. Definitely recommend stopping by and trying it!“
