24 Best Korean Restaurants near Tappan

“I went to Tappan Sushi with my husband for lunch who is from Uruguay. He was not into korean, japanese type food but that changed it all when we first came here. I am korean and i need to have my korean food and japanese sushi, sashimi!!!Always great food and service is great. This is our 5th or 6th visit. There are 2 very attentive and friendly waitresses and they are always working. Super great people. Also the sushi chef, the same sushi chef when i go there always greets us when we come in. That is how it should be, greeting customers in a friendly manner. One big thumbs up, the food comes right away, that is the way all restaurants should be. Plus, extremely fresh fish and all the foods i have tried. Cant say enough good things about this restaurant. The Restroom is super clean,smells like fresh Clorox which means they clean it daily. The owner, i think is korean have the best staff and chef.Thank you Tappan Sushi!See you again soon!“

“One of the best K BBQ places in the area.They have their own garden, so veggies and side dishes are so fresh!We like to order Eel BBQ too if you’re into fresh eels. They also do a great Ssam Bab, which has large basket of fresh vegetables and marinated pork, more than enough for 2 people.Check this place out!“

“My 1st time having Korean fried chicken. Been wanting to have it for a long time. Came across this gem and I'm a fan.Chicken is fried fresh to order so please be patient. I ordered the 5pc Golden original just so I can taste the overall flavor. Nicely fried to a crispy and juicy texture. The guy at the register Kim bought me over a side of their Secret Sauce to try it. Not too sweet or spicy but it's sticky. The 1st time having pickled daikon also. Very refreshing and a palate cleanser. Love it“

“First time at Sushi Story - and it is amazing! I went in for lunch and asked the server for recommendations. After my ginger salad, she brought me Tuna Tataki, which was perfectly prepared and had a touch of smokiness. I couldn’t decide between Seared Salmon Sushi or the River Roll, so I ordered both. It was the best decision ever! The salmon was freshly prepared and melted in my mouth. The Spicy Tuna was delicious and had just a touch of kick, which complimented the richness of the fish. All dishes were fresh, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, helpful, and courteous, by both the server and the chef, who checked on my satisfaction with the meal. The restaurant is small, with seven tables, and has a bustling take-out service. This is one place not to miss!Kid-friendliness: Welcoming to all agesWheelchair accessibility: Small facility, but easy access for people with limited mobility.“

“This cozy spot stole our hearts with its chill vibes, perfect for both date nights and gatherings with friends. ✨ The music sets the mood, and the bar seems like the place to be next time for an even livelier atmosphere.Food: The Kalifornia, Shrimp hand rolls, and Fish + Chips Takos were absolute winners - fresh, flavorful, and left us wanting more. The pork dumplings were decent, but we've had better. The Oyster Mushrooms, although tasty, were a bit heavy on the batter.Drinks : The Suntory beer was refreshing, but the Paradise Lost stole the show - a tropical explosion that balanced sweet, smoky, and spicy notes perfectly. Highly recommend it!Overall, a charming spot with great potential. We'll definitely be back to explore the menu and bar scene further!“

“We were randomly in the area running some errands and we found this little gem! We stopped by for a late lunch. We got the Bulgogi kimbap, fried chicken, and the royal rice cakes. Our little one appreciated the Dino nuggies. Haha Everything was delish. We'll be back!“

“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....“

“I normally write reviews for the readers, but today, this review is directed to the owner. Your fried chicken is worth the trouble of finding parking. I had the 10pc bloom drumsticks half w/Soy Garlic and the other half in S.O.S. Korean Spicy. I would even go as far as saying any of the sauces are worth a parking ticket. I was also super impressed with the size of the drumsticks! I was full after just 4, and thankfully, otherwise I would have been tempted to eat my napkin just to relish the flavor. I'm also grateful I arrived with family, since they ordered additional items, like the bloom wings, truffle fries, pork dumplings, and wasabi coleslaw. I got to try almost everything and nothing disappointed...not one thing. Thank you for offering to provide me my order as it became available for the members of my family vs. waiting for all of it to finish, that was very considerate of you and unexpected. I saw how polite you were to everyone that entered to order and for pick-up. We waited a little less than 25 minutes for the order to be complete and considering the size of our order, that was impressively fast! I just want to add that I also noticed you sacrificed your kitchen space to provide extra room for your guest, hats off to you sir! The seating space at the entrance is ample, the decor is trendy, the food was amazing, your attitude was great and even the bathroom was clean. The next time I come, I'm shooting a video for you, you deserve it...plus, I need an excuse to come back.“

“Our family's favorite korean chicken place to order from!! Try the cheesling flavor as I have not seen this available in other korean chicken places and it is finger lickin good. You will never experience this flavor in any regular American chicken places.Also the classic soy garlic flavor is savory and sweet.We can never decide which flavor to order so we go with a whole chicken half and half.Their portion is generous and their seasoning is just right. Friendly service and easy ordering.“

“Just discovered this gem right down the block from our office today! This will absolutely become a regular for us. I went with a vegan friend and sharing food with a vegan can be hit or miss. Today was a solid hit. She ordered the fried dumplings filled with kale and spinach. I wasn't jazzed about trying them until her eyes lit up and she said they were fantastic. She was not wrong. They crispy but still soft and the spinach and kale was amazingly tasty. To be honest I'm not really a fan of kale, but these were great. I would order them again on my own. She had the tofu bibimbap which she was quite happy with. I had the bulgogi bibimbap. The meat was deliciously marinated and it was fried well so that it didn't end up steamed. The egg was still runny in the middle but crisp on edges. The vegetables were fresh and still had body and crunch after they were cooked. The sauce was spicy but not so hot that it overpowered the dish. The people next to us were eating the ramen soup and the spicy friend chicken bowl and we both agreed we need to go back this week and try that! This place is such a delight. I haven't had Korean food this good in a long time, and to find it within walking distance of the office is the best! Try it! You won't be sorry.“

“Easily the best sushi experience I’ve ever had and I will be returning. Servers were so attentive and also knowledgeable about everything I was being served. Great portions, flavors and everything was as fresh as can be. Came for lunch and will be returning for dinner with a bigger party.“

“We ordered delivery. The wings tasted very good and I think I got more pieces than the stated number on the menu. Good price for how much we got!Only complaint is that there were no wing tips (my favorite part), all just drumettes. But overall I was satisfied.“

“I absolutely LOVE the food here. It’s immensely Fresh and the chef and staff really take their time and prepare a great experience. It’s hands down the best Japanese food in All of rockland county . Everything is very reasonably priced as well. Love this place !“

“Got the lunch special today for takeout. It was a lot of food for just over $14. Chicken was on point, juicy, and crispy with great soy garlic flavor. There was a mountain of golden brown French fries. The pickled radishes and jalapeños smelled terrible, though the coleslaw was great with a nice addition of corn in there.Parking: Plenty“

“****** Rarely ever drop a six star review, but Gangnam Aligatto definitely deserves it.The spicy pork ribs I had were astonishingly good, and the staff here are some of the best people in America. I needed help cutting some meat off my ribs (before I decided to just eat the entire plate with my hands) and the waitress was extremely nice. When I finished my food (there was a lot of high quality food) the staff smiled and gave me a nod of approval. The space is clean, and the neighborhood is beautiful.Thanks GA!“

“Really good chicken. My kids were craving chicken and decided to try after seeing other good reviews. Chicken is crispy and juicy. My kids LOVED the soy garlic flavor and also just plain. Drum sticks were huge and very juicy. Friendly service and staff was really nice. Will definitely eat here again when the kids are craving chicken again. Thanks.“

“Owner was so kind and giving. We walk in and he takes our order quick. The food comes and we eat and it was very good. Owner was so nice and he quickly gave us free radish and a whole free platter of fries. Both were very good. He then graciously gave us free water. Amazing.“

“Their Sauce that they sell is good but TOO SWEET for my taste. I wish they will Fix their Ingredient Label, you can see there is Sugar but not sure if there are other words not visible. I Loved the thick Skinned Dumplings, this way it will not break when I Boil it in hot water.Vegetarian options: They had Veggies Dumplings in the Freezer.“

“The wings used to be really good and fresh. But my last order was disappointing. Wings tasted like they were fried a while ago, covered up with too much sauce that it was so salty. Please bring back the fresh quality you used to have when you first opened.“

“This is a real gem! Sooo happy to find such a good restaurant. You should go to this place and will never be disappointed, but will be amazed. I ordered 3 rolls - Hot Jenny roll, Christmas roll, and Viki hand roll. I strongly recommend all of these three - the taste was eye-opening (even more delicious than I could imagine in my life!) and I can tell this restaurant uses very fresh ingredients as well as doesn't cheap out on ingredients at all. I could feel the owner's and chef's honesty, professionalism, and kindness from the food and the service. I'm so excited to visit here again with my friends soon! My teenage boy said he'd like to give 11 out of 10 LOL ?Parking: Parking lot is behind restaurant.“

“I had the privilege of having Eastern Kitchen cater my wedding back in June of 2023. The food was absolutely AMAZING. Numerous guests said it was the best wedding food they've ever had and I would agree. It is top-notch Korean food. The menu variety and quality were both phenomenal. James did an amazing job catering our wedding. Thanks from Daniel and Nicole“

“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.“

“The food was amazing and so was the seasoning. At first I was skeptical about the menu but when the food came it was soooo good. The menu is kinda limited and the pictures on my menu were off so I thought I was getting one thing but it was different apparently but it didn’t matter because it soooooooooooo good anyway! Would definitely recommend!?“

“The food is fresh and full of flavor. I'm a fan of sondubu and thus far, I have not been disappointed. It is a spot that is frequented by Koreans, so it has a sort of "down home" feel to it. They are not concerned with appealing to the American palate...which is great!“
