50 Best Korean Restaurants near Tappan

“This is my absolute favorite place for Korean food in New Jersey.
The food is consistently excellent, the interior is clean, and the staff is always friendly and professional.
I especially recommend the Pork Ribs, Dolsot Gobdol with baby octopus and spicy beef and veggie soup!
Highly recommended!!“

“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!“

“We through the bartenders were especially great“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I ordered something today and it came incomplete when I called the restaurant and told them about it, and they immediately sent me what was missing and something else. And that was very nice of them, I'm glad they treat their customers in this beautiful way and the food is excellent.“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“For a relatively small restaurant, Bibille offers a wide selection of Korean and Japanese dishes. At a recent lunch, we sampled the bibim bowl, vegetable dumplings, mochi donut, and bubble tea. Everything was very tasty and, except for the donut, made to order on the spot. Even the bubble tea was blended and served up as a smoothie, and a delicious one at that. The prices were very reasonable, and service was prompt.“

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

“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.“

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

“I visited this spot for the first time yesterday evening. We had a variety of Korean foods (radish kimchi, japchae, dried pollack, spring rolls) and all of them were very good. It was a total lifesaver as both my wife and I are new parents, which makes cooking difficult. I plan on coming here again and would not hesitate to recommend the store.“

“Just be mindful that the restaurant is located inside the golf academy, once you enter the building the entrance is on your left.Overall had an amazing experience, they will give you an extraordinary service and treat you like a valued customer at all time. All the dishes are delicious, yet low sodium, fresh ingredients. They have a seasonal menu and it's the best to follow what the owner suggest. They usually have very traditional, healthy dishes.“

“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!“

“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!“

“These wings are delicious and I was very impressed... Usually when I bring wings home from any other spot, they're soggy. But this wasn't the case and after about 45 minutes of driving I came home and they were all crispy and fresh and the sauces were great too.... I enjoyed every last one of them....“

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

“This is a top-notch Korean restaurant that has maintained a high quality of food and service over the years. Note that the same cannot be said about almost all other Korean restaurants in the area. The cozy, home-like atmosphere is perfect for unpretentious small gatherings. I always feel wonderful walking in and I’m always deeply satisfied after every meal at Myung Ga Won. So grateful and looking forward to future meals there.“

“They help support so many awesome brands, and are amazing to work with. Plus, they spoil me rotten with samples of so many delicious things -- what's not to love?“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“We love this place. Great food especially their soups on cold days.“

“Fantastic, such a convenient place with great late night hours!“

“My family arrived at Sushi and Kimchi late in the evening right before their closing, but the host welcomed us and informed us what was available. We were so grateful. The food was authentic and delicious (My 80 year old Korean mom approved them too!!) and the service was beyond imaginable. We are very jealous of locals who can go eat there often. We will definitely go back when we drive through the town again. Thank you!!!!“

“My only complaint is that this place is a little expensive for what it is. This is a great family restaurant place. The KBBQ is a bit expensive and I didn't get it. Instead i got Bulgulgi (Kitchen) and some Bimbimbap.

Both were great. Would come back again.“

“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!“

“As Indian Vegetarians, we absolutely love this place. They explain everything on the menu very sweetly.

Be sure to get:
- bibambap in hot stone bowl with tofu option
- tofu soup with ramen (be sure to mention “vegetarian broth” so they don’t use the beef broth)

Overall highly recommend. Very vegetarian friendly“

“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!"“

“My brothers and I came here after plant shopping. Honestly, after a rainy day, I just want some nice fried chicken. This was the place to go. The service was immaculate, I felt just at home. The money tree created great ambiance. I would highly recommend you check the place out if you are in the area!“

“This place is just amazing! There were 5 of us and we all ordered something different. Everything we got was delicious- we all tried each other's dishes. There's a little bit of everything to satisfy even the pickiest eater. I would just drive her (over a 2 hour drive for me) just to come eat here. I need this place closer to home, lol.“

“This place is so good! I’m more of tender / sandwich person so can’t speak to the wings but I got dinner there one night and came back soon after… definitely adding to my rotation. I think it’s made fresh to order because takes a bit of time to prep - the quality is very good and chicken is super tasty.“

“I wish I could give 10 stars. Anna and staff were AMAZING with their service, special sauce mixes, and celebration of our daughter’s birthday! Food was fresh and Sooooo many items to choose from.

Def will be back.

Vegetarian options: Not only vegetarian friendly but vegan friendly

Kid-friendliness: The kids loved cooking their own hot pot and using their training chopsticks provided by the restaurant“

“Good local sushi restaurant with good variety on menu. Beat of. 3 sushi restaurants in Park Ridge. Good fish quality but not NYC fish 🐟 quality but also not NYC prices. Good value for your money and sushi cravings. Very polite and professional management.“

“I have been enjoying K Chicken in Norwood for over a year! Each and every time my chicken has been so fresh, seasoned well, and delicious! When I arrive to pick up my order, the store is so welcoming, immaculate, and bright! EJ is always there with a warm hello and a smile with my order packed and ready to go - I’ve never had to wait! So, if you are looking for a lovely place that has consistently flavorful Korean fried chicken and yummy side dishes, and great service with a smile, you have to check out K Chicken in Norwood - you’ll be glad you did!!

“Authetic korean restaurant serving some good Tang Soo Yook! Very nicely fried and portion is generous! we also tried their seafood jjampong and it was good. I bet the heat is even perfect during colder weathers! I would love to come back and try their jajang. so hopefully soon.

Inside was clean and spacious and service was very good. We were asked if we wanted tea or water which I appreciated. we also had some fried pork left which we got to go and the staff gave us extra sauce! we felt so welcomed.“

“I've been coming to this location for around 4 years now. Used to come once a week or so for dinner.

Recently my girlfriend and I decided to dedicate every Wednesday to hotpot, during lunch. Not only is the lunch menu more affordable, it doesn't take away from the experience whatsoever. Whether it's dinner, or lunch, we enjoy this location especially!

For our last few visits, we've came a little bit after opening, and have been sat with Damian as our server. Not only is he very friendly, he's also very patient and polite! Service with Damian is great!

Whenever we need something, hes very quick to get to us, and help us with whatever we need. The drinks he's recommended us, have been awesome as well. -- From what Ive experienced, he's been very understanding and makes sure we're comfortable throughout our stay.

He always takes our finished plates when he makes his rounds, and overall is very pleasant to be served by. I hope our next visits also allow us to be sat with him :)!

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has very spaced out rows of booths, allowing room for a wheelchair to attend a table without getting knocked into, or being in the way in any case.

Lovely to see!“

“Garden Kitchen is my go-to spot for Korean banchan whenever I’m craving authentic Korean food! The staff is always warm, friendly, and incredibly generous. Their banchan is consistently fresh and delicious. I especially love their kimchi stew—honestly, I think it tastes better than what you’d find at many high-end Korean restaurants in Bergen County. I can’t imagine what I’d do without Garden Kitchen!“

“Idk all the negative comments. I ordered the drums(purring cheese)and it was actually too much food(not complaining). It was hot delicious super crunchy and moist. I think some people have super unrealistic expectations of something and that is an impossible standard to compete with. Keep up the great work.“

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

“Yum! Chicken is so fresh and juicy, coating is crisp and not greasy or soggy. The only issue for me is the spice level- I wish they had a non-spicy option. But I’m a total chicken(see what I did there) about spice and most people would find it extremely mild. People are nice, shop is clean and order packaged without plastic bags!“

“awesome place Food was good atmosphere and the prices were great! 10/10“

“Usually I do delivery or take out but decided to order by going inside today. The cashiers Jordan and Julian (sorry, not sure of correct spelling) were so kind to me. They complimented my tattoos and Jordan was so attentive to my order. When I asked for the receipt for my scrapbook, they made me feel so happy. We even had a cool conversation about our scrapbooking hobby. Julian even offered a sticker. They looked so cool and had even cooler vibes. Thank you both so much for making my day“

“good food but give urself about a half hour tops when ordering“

“After not coming for a long while because of our experience… I am so happy we decided to come back! Damien was our waiter and he was PHENOMENAL!! The last time we came the service was not great, Damien completely changed how we feel about Kpot Englewood. He was very attentive, changed the grill every time it even appeared dirty, refilled waters regularly and checked on us numerous times. He had lots of tables but made us feel like we were the only ones he was taking care of! Food was great!“

“Food is really great (have had the seolleongtang and nangmyun), I'm not sure why other reviewers have given such low ratings. The gamja-jeon was also really good. Service is not anything spectacular but also not missing anything essential.“
