50 Best Korean Restaurants near Woodside

“Had a great dinner out here. Service was great and food was delicious. However, i felt the meat portions were on the smaller side for the price. I also don't love that the cooking experience wasn't as hands on as I'm used to at other Korean BBQ spots.“

“This fusion Korean restaurant should be a must try spot in NYC. They have stellar food offerings with creative yet delicate and flavorful dishes. Their grilled pork, seared scallop, noodle with uni, octopus, clam, and tartate are all delicious. The matcha x yuzu drink is definitely enjoyable. They're accommodating with our altered reservation so definitely a pleasant experience overall.“

“Really interesting cuisine and experience. Cute and small joint serving Cajun Korean food with a lot of variety and inventiveness. The jambalaya was great with a lot of flavor and kick. The softshell crab sandwich I had was phenomenal -- just the right texture of fried crab and toppings with some pickled vegetables. Service was really kind and efficient.“

“Amazing experience . Great hospitality and amazing food“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this cozy Korean spot, and I was immediately struck by its vibrant atmosphere. Despite being busy and crowded, it contributed positively to the overall experience, creating an energetic and authentic vibe.The restaurant boasts a compact menu, a refreshing change that made choosing what to eat a breeze, without the usual decision fatigue. A standout dish for me was the lotus salad – unfortunately, I didn’t snap a picture, but believe me, it’s a must-try. The salad was delightfully crispy, featuring a medley of flavors that danced on the palate.On the flip side, the pork cheek, while tantalizing in photos, fell short of expectations. It had a gamy taste that was off-putting, and the flavors, far from being bold, were disappointingly muted.The broth, however, was a high point. The beef broth was rich and flavorful, a real treat. We also tried the seafood baguette, which was a mixed bag. The bread, unfortunately, was not toasted, leaning towards the stale side, but the seafood filling itself was delicious.Dessert was another highlight – the sweet corn crème brûlée. It was an inventive take on a classic dessert, perfectly paired with white chocolate, making for a memorable end to our meal.Overall, this restaurant is a fantastic find. Despite a few hiccups, the quality of the dishes and the unique dining experience make it a place worth visiting.“

“My boyfriend and I visited here for some quick late night food and we arrived shortly before closing. The overall atmosphere was great and the decor was aesthetically pleasing. We ordered everything at once because the kitchen was closing and they still pacer out our meal. The service was impeccable and all of the food and dessert was amazing. (especially the cuttlefish) We will defend be back!“

“Loved our dinner. Sat at the counter and completely enjoyed the experience.“

“Came to Little Mad for a weekend dinner, made a reservation about 2-3 weeks ahead but the place was very spacious and had some empty tables so probably do not need a reservation. Personally I loved the decor of the place, very clean and simple, lots of wooden structures. Our server was very helpful, asked us if it was our first time here, recommended the right amount of food to get, and went over some of the alcohol list with us. There was a raspberry martini we got that was very delicious and has a pretty good kick to it. Food wise, very very delicious. Every course was surprise and I did not feel a single moment of dullness. We started with the yellowtail crudo in between the pear slices, the sauce was so amazing and went so perfectly with the fish and pear. We also got the beef carpaccio, it was delicious. Our mad hot plates were equally as amazing and our main course was probably the best. The galbi steak was to die for, so tender and juicy while the lobster fried rice was so full of flavor. This was one of the best Asian tapas places I've been to and would definitely come back, it was quite a bit pricier than I had expected though in the end so had to take away a star, but if you don't care about the price, this is the perfect place to have a great time with amazing food!“

“Great food drinks and service!“

“The flavors were sublime, I can see why so many chefs recommend it!“

“The FOOD is fabulous. Great flavor combinations, beautifully plated, unusual but tasty food, perfect portions. I loved everything we ordered.“

“the atmosphere was nice and the food was good. they offer a variety of fried foods and vegetables, and you can also choose from a selection of ramen! overall amazing meal, well worth the money. can’t wait for the manhattan location to open up!“

“This is such a gem! I have been craving pork belly for a while now so I went to ssam tong today and let me tell you this place is amazing! Ordered a pork belly, pork jowl and beef~ the meat was tender and delicious! The staff is the best~ they are cute and hilarious! Love it!! Rico and the owner helped us with the grilling! They are so sweet! The atmosphere is so friendly and comfortable that it made the whole dining experience beyond excellent! I will definitely come back whenever I crave Korean bbq around the Murray Hill area! :)“

“Really beautiful space with lovely food and great service. I was expecting a bit more from the food tbh for the price (not sure what though because I have no real complaint but it wasn't spectacular other than the mixed fritter appetizer which was the best tempura I've ever had). All in all 4.5 stars.“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“Great place, great Korean food.“

“Went for the steak omakase for a birthday dinner and the meal was a great experience. High quality meat, great uplifted versions of classic Korean food, and attentive service. Gaonnuri continues to be one of my favourite upscale Korean restaurants I want to bring people to for a good memory.“

“I love everything here!!!DDO Bar offers a unique and innovative dining experience with their omakaseI have Chef Studio Tasting, featuring 14 delectable courses for $135. The best Omakase amazing experience I ever have!!Moreover, Additionally, the restaurant's Yubu Tart Tasting, a 13-course menu priced at $75, is a delightful combination of Korean inari sushi with customizable toppings. This creative fusion of flavors and presentation makes DDO Bar a standout choice for those seeking an unforgettable culinary journey in New York City. Service was so amazing.“

“One of my favorite in k town. Suggestion: scallop, 2 pyungyang cold noodles and dry aged branzino for 2 people. Feel free to add a bowl of rice.Parking: Weekend is hard to find parking but weekdays are somewhat okay to find the spot near the restaurant.“

“Service was awesome and food was exceptional! Truly a unique experience with the fusion cuisine. Even if you try the Korean food or the Syrian food separately it’s great, and received a complimentary tea to finish the meal. Korean chicken poppers are amazing :)“

“Really good food, small interior but acoustics were such that we could all speak normally and hear each other. Variety of menu options. Only reason for 4 stars is we were informed that, despite being asked if we had any food allergies or dietary restrictions, there was no accommodation for any of the menu items. One in our party was vegan and the only menu option was brussel sprouts, despite many items being easily customized (no creme fraiche, no egg) to accommodate. It was quite disappointing. Overall would recommend if you have no dietary needs!“

“First time here, took train from Nj. A fun experience with meats being grilled at your table, everything was delicious, including the side dishes and condiments. Will definitely return!“

“osamil is a very nice place for dinner. uni bibimbap was delicious and mixed very well. beef tartare was also very yummy with strong taste of gochujang. skewers were good. beef rib was tougher than expected but the pork belly was so soft and the sauce was amazing.“

“A Korean restaurant I found by chance while traveling!The staff and owner are all very friendly and the food is so delicious!! After my first visit, I remembered the taste, so I visited again and ate it, and I think it tasted even better!!!!!Even after my trip, I will still think of Korean restaurants in New York!Thank you for the good food and good service :)“

“Absolutelly wonderful experience. Every single member of the staff is friendly, respectful and professional. The food is out of this planet, delicious, beautifully presented and served. The wine list is very interesting, diverse and extensive. 100% going back.“

“Brought friend here for them to try Ganhoo for the first time, the wagyu fried rice was a HIT. I think my friend is going to get sucked in after their first time. Great for large groups of people for dine in for dinner!!Vegetarian options: They have vegetable available to balance out the meat“

“Should not have so much onions in the food. My lunch box comes with 2 pan cakes of suck. I hated them. It's just flour with lots of onions. Most Buddhists don't eat onions and scallions. Salad was fresh. Ambiance good. Quiet with no music.“

“Gadamn this place is good. In order of enjoyment:1. Corn Dumplings2. Lobster Roll / Noodles4. Plantains5. Scallops6. TomatoesThey were all beautifully constructed, and tasty but man those corn dumplings were something else, and man those tomatoes are not really worth the money. I don't see how this is a Korean restaurant but ?“

“Excellent food!!! Outstanding service.“

“liked the food here, pricey but good for sharing among 2-3 and the ingredients are pure and not overwhelming. got the mud fish stew which had a lot of boiled watercress, the unagi with onions and mushrooms, and the mung bean noodle with beef (noodle was bland, beef was salty). banchan came with the meal!“

“I came with a group of 5 for my birthday dinner, and we each ordered a hand roll set which were all so delish. We also ordered three entrees: spicy dalkgalbi, donkatsu, and beef short rib. They were all outstanding. I highly recommend coming here for a casual night out with friends or even a date night with your significant other.“

“Unforgettable meals and wines. Friendly smart service.“

“This place deserves more attention! I honestly found this spot on a whim omw back home but despite ordering takeout, the service and quality was great. Super friendly server/host and will definitely be back to dine-in. I got the 8” half bulgogi/half potato ? was v tasty and fresh. Everyone please go support this place! Thanks for the pear drink :D ?“

“The food was delicious , service and staff were so attentive and accommodating , conveniently located a few blocks from Time Square .It is definitely a must in your next visit to NY .“

“CDG is crazy busy for a reason. The food is outstanding and service is superb. Don't let the wait scare you though. We purposely planned to go 1 to 1.5 hours before dinner to get on the waitlist. You get a text when your table is almost ready and have 10 minutes to make your way back once you get that notification. You can also download an app in which you can check to see how many parties are in front of you to give you a better estimate of the wait time. We decided to get the naengi eggplant rice ($9), bossam ($18.99), and perilla seed tofu stew ($18.99). We were also given banchan and each received a small bowl of housemade tofu. You can always request more orders of banchan! The eggplant rice is something that I've never had or seen elsewhere and is a dish that I highly recommend. The crispy bits are the best! The perilla seed tofu soup is also something that is unique. I LOVE perilla, but I didn't taste any shiso (which is what I expected). Instead, it was more of a nutty flavor, but still very flavorful and light. Staff were so friendly and nice. I asked to try the makgeolli because I didn't want to commit to a glass if I didn't like it, and they offered to provide samples of the ones I was interested in. You're also given complimentary cookies (yakgwa) at the end of the meal. Yakgwa is a deep-fried layered cookie doused in a honey-ginger syrup. We expected the little flower-shaped cookie to be crisp, but it was actually soft and chewy.“

“I liked the ordering with kiosk option where you could view pictures and customize your orders easily. I chose the Koba bowl. The portion size shocked me! My bowl looked like a mountain. It was satisfying to have that much food and a variety of stuff in only one bowl. Both food and service were amazing! With any order it also comes with a Korean snack of your choice.“

“Was in the NY for the weekend visiting family from FL. Always wanted to try Korean BBQ and this place came up. Absolutely loved it. There was 7 of us walking around and they fit us right in. We ordered the 5-6 meal and 2 appetizers. And it was Plenty for everyone. Half way thru the meal my 10yr old leans over and tells me. "This is the best night of my life." He's a foodie. But check them out you should not be disappointed. Great job guys.“

“Shingane is a true hidden gem. If it wasn’t for a recommendation, we wouldn’t have thought to stop by for their delicious homemade kimbap/gimbap and unique “buns”.Mr. Shin and his wife were so hospitable, especially for a small snack shop. They complimented us on our chopstick work (because they often tell people to eat the kimbap with one bite), asked where we were from, and told us their story of coming to New York and creating special presses for their Statue of Liberty buns. The kimbap was special, for me it’s the fact that they come handmade and don’t sit premade in a case in the front. Because of that, the rice is warm, the sesame oil is fragrant, and the vegetables are soft and fresh. I’ll definitely recommend this place to friends passing through.“

“We reserved a table here via Resy. It was pretty booked up far in advance, but I heard this place was good somewhere online. We loved ramen and Asian noodles so we were looking forward to this.We were bummed that our table was right next to the front door and the draft from people coming in and out of the front door was pretty chilly. We didn’t come super hungry and didn’t try any appetizers.I ordered the family Ranyum which our waiter said was his favorite. My boyfriend got the wagyu Ramyun.I loved the rich pork flavor of the family ramyun, lots of mushrooms, and the soy egg that I added was really tasty and unique.I tried the wagyu ramyun, it has a very strong beef flavor which my boyfriend liked a lot.We have not tried many ramyun dishes (mostly ramen and other Asian soups) but both the dishes we tried were some of the best noodles we’ve ever had.“

“The place was very cute and small. Staff was nice. I got the sobak as that was their most popular items. The sauce has meat in but it was mainly just veggies and rice. I enjoy more than I thought I would. It's very clean and simple. Wishing there was more sauce and I 5$8!8 maybe a protein would go well. Or perhaps the portion would be bigger but maybe that's not the position. Not sure“

“I loved everything within my experience at HYUN! Service is excellent, food is excellent and the environment is awesome! I anticipate coming back as soon as possible.“

“This food Court has Korean food for under $12. Everything is pre made. You can warm the food up in the microwave. There are tables to eat at. We got beef bulgogi , fish cake, kimbap and tokayi. It was a decent meal for the price“

“Loopy's is the best. Just finished some of their delicious Bibim Bop. The Apps are good too - Summer Rolls were crunchy and the shrimp fresh and fried dumplings were delish also. Definitely recommend, eaten here dozens of times and always consistently great.“

“I don’t have those fancy meal much but this is really fancy. I love the service and it’s impressive.Here for our anniversary dinner and it was really good. The service started with a nice greeting and the courtyard is nice peaceful.The meals are delicious and creative. Every dish have an explanation and it’s a little much. You would enjoy every meal. It’s not really my thing.“

“A box of spicy seasoned chickenA box of non-spicy chickenI ordered it and went to Florida and my whole family really enjoyed it.The problem is that a week later, the famous franchise chickenI bought the same amounthoweverMr.dak chicken isCrispy on the outside, soft on the inside and really delicious.The other chicken is crispy on the outside and tough on the inside.I don't like itMr. After eating DakI knew what delicious chicken was like.I stick to delicious chicken and it turns out thatAre you using organic chicken?thank you.From now on, just like the first time, it will continue like thisMay your business prosper.Thank you for the delicious chicken.“

“The kimchi and pickled radish tasted just like in Korea, and the bulgogi rice bowl, teriyaki rice bowl, and soba noodles were very delicious. It was also surprising that there were more local customers than Korean customers. Korean food seems to have become more popular now. I really liked the smiles of the staff. I think I'll come here at least once every two days while I'm in Manhattan. Of course, if I lived here, I would want to come every day. Since there are only a few tables, it may be difficult for groups to visit, but they allow about 3 people to sit at each table and arrange about 3-5 tables. Basically, it is more like a take-out store. There were 6 of us, 3 at each table, and we ate well. Highly recommended“

“One of the few AYCE KBBQ spots in the area. Even on a Friday afternoon, this place gets really busy to the point where you have to wait for a table. The price per person is relatively fair compared to other places but I feel like you get fewer options for the Lunch menu. Normally, I would prefer more options but this time I liked having fewer options since I ordered more of the same meats. Rice, side dishes, dipping sauces, and fresh lettuce are all included in the AYCE. Drinks are not.“

“Dinner was incredible! The service was extremely attentive, food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect. I really enjoyed the set menu, it was the right amount of food and even better bc we didn’t have to think about what to order. The meats were all so tender and the banchan was top tier. Definitely recommend.“

“Everything about this place is a 10/10. The workers, the food, the vibe and just everything. Food was amazing and came out so fresh it was sizzling on the table. The staff is just out of this world. I will definitely be coming back for them “

“Food is good but they raised their prices and it's only worthwhile if you can get them to actually bring the dishes you order. Sometimes we have difficulty getting orders in even when they're not that busy. Still, very solid place.“
