24 Best Korean Restaurants near Staten Island

“Cast Iron Pot Island is a game-changer for Korean BBQ on Staten Island! Finally, a solid AYCE spot right here—went with a group and we were stuffed and happy. The highlight is definitely the meats: tender marinated bulgogi, juicy pork belly, flavorful brisket, and marinated chicken all grilled perfectly (love that the staff comes to cook it at the table so you don't have to fuss with the grill).“

“Had the Coconut milk tea with mango boba and it was delicious. Love the atmosphere and the young lady who helped us was great, giving us some recommendations. Will definitely be back.“

“The food is always amazing and the staff there is always friendly and nice. We’ve gone there 3x already and plan to go back more. My son wants to go there for his bday next Jan so he can invite friends lol“

“I absolutely love this place. I have a very bad case of long covid since October 2021 where almost everything smells and tastes rotten or sickly sweet. I am able to eat the hot pot miso ramen soup with a lot of different vegetables, and I can have the chocolate cake/cupcakes. So delicious! I can also eat the white rice and the grilled pineapples. Before finding out that I can have all of this, I was losing a massive amount of weight, thank God for the few things that I can have here, I’m able to maintain my weight now. I just tend to go a bit crazy with what I can eat because I’m so hungry from not really eating the other days. The workers are amazing. The manager, Justin is really nice and very funny. The owner Darin is also very nice. Love the atmosphere and the music, I still can’t eat the other things and the smells from the other foods still bother me but I deal with it just so I can eat what I’m actually enjoying there. Thanks kpot for being the first restaurant where I’m actually eating some things that I can enjoy. Highly recommend this place, especially this location. Twenty stars“

“Delicious food , great service , fun night !“

“Unforgettable meals and wines. Friendly smart service.“

“A modern Korean inspired interior that feels very clean and well designed. The lighting isn’t too dim at night, which makes the space feel warm and atmospheric. It’s a great spot for dates or casual group dinners, and it’s also very photogenic. The food is on the refined Korean side generally well executed and safe, but not particularly bold or memorable. The flavors are nice but don’t stand out much, and the overall layering of taste feels a bit light.Service is overall solid and consistent. The dessert is a highlight, especially the black sesame flavor, which is rich and very well done.“

“Ordered from Power Bowls on Uber Eats and tried the beef bulgogi bowl with ssamjang sauce it was really good. The flavors were on point, meat was tender, and everything came together well. Didn’t go in person so can’t speak on the spot itself, but based on the food alone I’d definitely order again (and probably check it out in person too).“

“Kimchi Kooks is a neighborhood gem. Fresh, flavorful, healthy banchan. There is a rotating set of options and a solid line up of mainstays. Also a reliable spot to grab a takeout lunch. I’ve gone many times and always had good experiences.“

“Good place to dine in and have soondubu (tofu stew) on a cold day. I offered the dumplings soondubu. 5 dumplings. Lots of tofu. Comes with banchan (side dishes like kimchi), bowl of rice with fried egg, seaweed, small yogurt drink and a sweet treat. So much food for about $18! Delicious food, affordable price. Highly recommend!“

“We had an early dinner at Koba and tried their bento box. The staff were attentive and friendly . Helping customers to make selection and explaining the ingredients to them. When it’s my turn i was glad they entertained my request. Meal portion was legit and delicious... The staff even checked on our meal satisfaction after that so it’s really a cosy experience. I just wish the music was softer.“

“I ordered the 8 wings meal, ate 4, and put my remaining 4 in the fridge for a day. They were still crispy. I don't understand how this place manages to defy physics, but I'm happy they can. Bonus notes: the wings are BIG, they have hands down the best fries in the area, and the super friendly employees love giving you small bites of other things to sample. Highly recommend Kimchi Guys to literally anyone.“

“Tried it the first time and really liked the food. Glad to have bulgogi near me when I cant make it to a Korean restaurant thats further away! My man & kids loved it and so did I. Had to bring my sister and her man to try it! They have a lot of different options, which is good! Deja took our order, and also gave us some recommendations!“

“The food was fresh and delicious. The staff are very professional and this place is also kid friendly. It gets super busy and crowded so go early if possible. I definitely recommend and will be coming back.“

“Yeahh…! Korean it is, ? It was difficult to find, to cut to the chase, let me give you the best directions, enter the oculus from the h&m side and take the elevator to go to the underground, or search for gansevoort market, ? see the images from below, Some place to have a quick meal, the food was good for a quick meal on a busy day, we had korean soft tofu ? , it was good and fresh, it has a big dining area in the back, we initially thought we had to stand and eat but there was a good amount of place to sit and dine.“

“I had a really nice visit at Cafe De Novo. The atmosphere feels calm and inviting, making it a great place to relax. The coffee was smooth and well-made, and the food was fresh and satisfying. Service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s a lovely spot for a casual break in the city.“

“Incredible food every time! My family and I are obsessed. 10/10 would recommend! Joshua cooks a wide variety of cuisines and works with our dietary restrictions. He has a real passion for food that comes through in every dish. Always delicious with great service too. Also, ask about his hot sauces!“

“The lady at the front desk now is super pretty and nice, and has a great attitude. The drinks made by the tea making lady are also delicious every time.
However, there is a strong smell of cigarette smoke every time I come here. The smell of smoke wafts in after the staff smokes, and it lingers for a long time, which is very unfriendly to pregnant women and children.“

“Decent sashimi lunch combo, well packaged to go!

Sashimi 🐟 🍣
Decent portions of red snapper, salmon, tuna, and I think Hirame? Lots of tsuma shredded radish underneath. Premium soy sauce from Yamasa and Shirakiku.

Comes with salad and miso soup. Also white rice 🍚.“

“10/10 everything. I went here with my girlfriend and her sister and as soon as we left she wanted to go back. The food was amazing, honestly some of the best Korean food i've ever had, the customer service was great, they made me feel welcome and they were kind. This restaurant is really a 10/10 and I recommend it to everyone who wants to try some Korean to-go snacks.“

“Amazing experience! Highly recommend. First time here the service was great the Korean guy was welcoming and helpful with my order. Food was out of this world I can’t believe how good it was I am impressed. I got the Caribbean bowl 🔥✅😍🐓10/10 GO GO GO!“

“I am a regular customer at your Maiden Lane store.

For years the I have enjoyed the variety and freshness of food, the neatness of the store and above all, the staff is consistently courteous and professional. Some of your customers were also referred by me.

However yesterday at approx. 1:00pm I had the displeasure of watching the most unprofessional and insensitive interaction between the Asian cashier; the tall gentleman with glasses and a boy (minor approx. 12 years old). The boy was obviously Special Needs.

The boys handicap was clearly obvious to other customers as well, however this cashier's conduct was relentlessly rude, disrespectful and demeaning to the minor, with total lack of any emphaty.

Courteous and professional customer service is a right that ALL of your customers must enjoy. This must NOT exclude those with Special Needs.

I strongly recommend that your establishment include Sensitivity Training for staff to address this gap“
