30 Best Korean Restaurants near Rockville Centre

“Totally loved my experience here! The chicken was soooo GOOD and DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS!!! Tina, my waitress, made it even better! Her customer service and welcoming hospitality was above and beyond.!!! Thank you Tina and whoever FRIED THIS CHICKEN!!! If you don’t clean the bone then you didn’t eat good chicken!!! ♥️♥️ Definitely coming back again!!“

“The spicy cold noodles with warm, cooked bulgogi is perfect refreshment for the summer time! The spiciness isn’t too noticeable, so there’s no real heat, only perfectly cool refreshing broth. The broth came on the side in a separate bowl and the spicy sauce was not mixed into the noodles, had to mix it myself but that’s okay.

The server cut the noodles up for me upon request. I also requested no eggs because I have an egg allergy and they accommodated accordingly!

The banchan / sides are really good as well. The kimchi is fermented well!

I just stopped in because I saw the cold noodle signs and it was a hot day.

I think this place used to be Witch Toppoki?“

“AWESOME KOREAN RESTAURANT IN LONG ISLAND: I’m not a foodie and I don’t think I’ve ever posted about restaurants (but I am Korean) - I have to make an exception for this place. Yes, this restaurant is on Long Island, but the Korean food EXCELLENT (better than lots of places in Flushing) and service is OUTSTANDING. Every dish we’ve tried so far (짜장면, 순두부찌개, 육개장, 제육덮밥) has been so amazing, delicious, and authentic (especially the spices!!!). If you’re ever in the area, please stop in and eat here. It’s crazy awesome! Thanks to my friend for encouraging me to try at a Korean restaurant that is not in Queens. My family will be forever grateful - five stars and 2 thumbs way up from me and my family members. :)“

“Great food. Large portions!“

“Ordered takeout from Don Chicken on Northern Blvd and went for the Spicy Soy Garlic Chicken and it did not disappoint. The pieces were pretty big, juicy inside, and had that trademark Korean fried chicken crunch: thin, shatter-crispy, never greasy. The soy garlic glaze was spot on savory, garlicky, with just enough kick to keep me reaching for another bite.

I also tried the Sweet & Spicy flavor not bad at all, just leaned sweeter than what I usually like.

What I really appreciate is how Korean fried chicken is different from the fried chicken most of us grew up with. Instead of a thick, heavy batter, it’s double-fried a method that actually came about in Korea in the 1960s and 70s when fried chicken started getting popular alongside beer (“chimaek,” short for chicken + maekju/beer, is now a whole culture). That double fry gives you the crunch without the grease, and the sauces like this soy garlic add layered flavor instead of just salt and breading.

For takeout, it traveled well too the chicken stayed crisp even by the time I got home, which tells you they’re doing it right. Generous portions, bold flavor, and that authentic K-fried crispness make the spicy soy garlic the clear winner for me.“

“I stopped by this store to pick up lunch and was impressed by how clean it is. The owner was incredibly kind and friendly and even recommended some of his childhood favorite snacks. We had a really nice conversation.

All the takeout food is house-made, with a great variety of banchan (side dishes) and authentic snacks. I tried a unique banchan with jellyfish, papaya, turnip, and carrots—it was refreshing and perfectly crunchy. I also had pancakes, pork dumplings, and chicken over rice, all of which were delicious. The chicken rice bowl was served warm, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be back to try more items.“

“Really enjoyed the food here and it was so good. We got the pork cutlet which was really crispy and the portion sizes were huge. The bulgogi kimbap was really juicy and practically melts in your mouth. The pricing was really fair and the total was about 40 bucks. The food came out fast and it was really fresh.“

“If you’re looking for comfort food with bold flavors, this spot really hits. From rich, savory broths to crispy, juicy chicken and refreshing drinks to balance it all out Modoo has it all! Perfect for a cozy meal or a casual night out with friends. Definitely adding this to the regular rotation.

“Definitely coming back with family 🥰“

“Ive only been here once, but I loved it so much! It seems more like family or group restaurant than one for just dining alone, but I greatly enjoyed the kimchi tasting they had. It was very good for just $10, with unlimited rice and noodles. The staff was very friendly, and the service was wonderful. I will be coming back soon!“

“The staff and the food was amazing! My family and I went to celebrate my birthday. The host Mia and Elena was delightful and our server Minerva was gracious and accommodating. The manager Michael then gave us the birthday special which was the song and celebration along with a comped meal for me (with ID). Amazing!“

“We were the only customers. Service was top notch. The waitress spoke Korean and Mandarín. We ordered eel and short rib on bbq and a hot stone pot bibimbap. There was so much food. There we’re 8-10 banchan dishes. Then they brought out a veggie pancake, eggplant dish, steamed egg and soup. It was DELICIOUS 맛있는! See you soon!“

“$16 per bingsoo. It taste good but I advise that you mix it before because the sweet syrup is only at the top so the lower you get it gets bland. The amount is way smaller than I expected. Overall it’s okay. Took so long to get our order though.“

“I came here with my boyfriend. He ordered bulgogi japchae, spicy beef soup, seafood pancake, & steamed dumplings. Food was ok, nothing crazy the only thing I liked was the steamed dumplings and clear noodles from the bulgogi dish. Service was so lovely, checked with us every 10mins, water was always filled up, gave us extra napkins when we didn't even ask and needed one, checked was delivered swiftly. Lovely music and everyone working smiled :)“

“Had to give this place a try after seeing it featured in the news. The setting is very intimate and straightforward with light jazz playing in the background. The servers are cooking right in front of you after you order. For my first time I had to order the pork broth regular. Was hungry so ordered the shrimp katsu and mandoo. The pork broth was so clean tasting, such a comfort to be able to enjoy after a long day. You are instructed to put the gochuji directly on the meat and not in your broth. While the portions look small when you do get your order they are quite filling.“

“Great service and the food was great 👍“

“A cute little spot- not that big but can accommodate small parties if it’s not busy.
Clean inside.
Each pork tonkatsu 9/10 meal comes with a cream soup 9/10.
If you want, you can get more rice but it’s an extra charge.
The portions are a decent size for one person but if you order to go - it seems like they give you less and it doesn’t taste as good as with any crisp and fried food items - so I don’t recommend it.“

“Great place. Amazing service and food. Took care of my dad meal for being a USMC veteran days after Veterans Day. Class act. Would recommend to anyone in the area or traveling! Danny and Geraldine were amazing. We will definitely be back! Thank you again!“

“Work nearby, staff is friendly, a great spot to hang out & chill after & enjoy some delicious fresh hot chicken (their regular chicken w the sweet chili or garlic sauce on the side and their fries are the best, their honey soy garlic wings are tasty as well, but a bit on the sweeter side) AND FRIES ARE ALWAYS THE BEST, yummy everytime“

“Will come again, definitely recommend“

“We’ve been to Rolly Kimbab in Bayside so many times, and we always end up getting their combo boxes. The combos are pretty reliable — nothing fancy, nothing “wow,” but definitely not bad. It’s just good, simple food that fills you up.

If you’re hungry and want something quick and solid, this place does the job. Just don’t expect anything high-end — it’s more like a tasty “eat till you’re full” kind of spot.“

“I love coming here for quick and casual korean food— especially their spicy tofu seafood soup. If you’ve been a loyal customer here for long, just know that they raised up their prices and took away the little seaweed pouch they would give to each order. Still affordable, still hot and delicious.“

“Quick service. Clean multiple single restrooms. Friendly servers but doesnt speak english well. Great food, alot of complementary sides but it is pricey. They will let you take home your leftover ordered food but not any leftover complementary sides.“

“Great food. Large portions!“

“If you want Korean fried chicken that’s not a chain and actually has laid back vibes please come here. Chicken is always ridiculously fresh and overall it’s a great spot for friends

Parking: It’s shared between the other venues in the area. Most of the time it’s full but might be just enough for one car to find parking. Never had to wait long for a spot“

“We had the rainbow roll, maki combo w/tuna maki, salmon maki, and crab maki and an eel maki combo and everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. Great portions, excellent presentation, and the service was on time, courteous, and friendly. Highly recommend Samurai Sushi of Williston Park.“

“The flavor is Rich and fresh. All of the vegetables are nicely cooked. Perfect for 2 people. Comparable to the ones in Flushing’s! Beef meat could have better. it tastes like the beef in “beef with broccoli” in take out dishes (sweet flavor). It is still good“

“My family and I ordered the black bean noodles, spicy seafood noodle soup, and sweet sour pork. The noodles were very chewy, but the black bean sauce was a little salty. The sweet and sour pork was crispy but there wasn't too much meat inside. The waitresses also kept confusing the orders as they were serving. Overall, the price was a little expensive but the experience wasn't too bad.“

“I've eaten here a lot thru out the years.When I was younger. The quality of food and the service has never waivered..Sure influencers can tell you all the trendy spots but sometimes you just want to go to a place to eat a good meal without all the hype and fanfair. There is street parking.“
