41 Best Korean Restaurants near Ardmore

“amazing food. extremely quick service.“

“We called the night before and made reservations for our party of 6 for lunch at 1:30 PM on Saturday (today). We arrived early and we’re seated immediately. Food was delicious and service was friendly and courteous. We had a mix of starters (beef jap chae, Korean fried chicken, Dakgangjeong & chili calamari), entrees (bulgogi, 2 Dolsot Bibimbop & ramen), table bbq (Joo Mul Luk Marinated ribeye & Samgyupsal Thinly sliced pork belly), and drinks. Entrees and table bbq comes with white rice, ban Chan, and veggies. We ate everything and we’re satisfied with happy bellies. The restaurant is quaint, nice atmosphere, and clean. Metered parking is available in front of restaurant. We recommend trying this place, and will be back again.“

“A very good restaurant. I enjoyed the food.“

“Yum! Got the bulgogi bibimbap and it was delicious with the homemade sauce they have. It was also nice to have the little sides that come out first that include kimchi, which I love. Highly recommend and reasonably priced! Gave me a slice of watermelon after. So cute.“

“Absolutely delicious. Everything was so good.“

“Great option for lunch or dinner! Options for on the go, grab and go, or dine in. Love their “happy hour” food items for a quick lunch.

The woman at the register is so welcoming, it felt like we were guests at her home. She made a point to talk to each table and genuinely cared about how everyone was doing. It’s a tight space, but she was working hard to ensure everyone got their food perfectly!

The man that was cooking in the back came out to greet us once some of the carryout orders calmed down. He assured us that if we wanted anything specific, he’d gladly make it for us fresh and fast.

Glad to have them in the neighborhood. I’m excited to go back and support more kind businesses in our city.“

“The honey soy garlic Korean fried Chicken was some of the best I have ever had, if not the best. The Banchan was very good. The Pickled Chayote and Radish (Mu) were the stars for me. The Kimchi was good, but a little too spicy for me (I should've put in on the grill and cooked it a bit). The corn-cheese sausage as amazing. The Brisket was amazing. Pork belly was very good too, but I wish they had some Shiso or Red Leaf, so I could make a ssam. The ssamjang was very doenjang forward. Not sure if they have more than one type, but I prefer mine with more gochujang. Overall, Pocha Street is a must try.“

“Ordered to try something new and it was the best discovery I’ve made since moving to Philadelphia. Always crave it because of how well seasoned and delicious the food is. The quality is on another level.“

“I just tried KangNam Deluxe Chicken Sandwich with Honey Garlic Sauce for the first time. WOW!!!

So good I had to leave a review!
If you’re a chicken sandwich fan it’s a must-try. I regret not trying it sooner!“

“The wait staff is super friendly. The food is delicious. The Korean Stews are our favorites!“

“Best Korean restaurant in SE Pennsylvania.“

“The food is ALWAYS delicious. My boyfriend says they’re unmatched in taste and quality, a diamond in the ruff. We Love Love the Galbi chicken, secret sauce chicken and the teriyaki rice bowl. The sweet potato fries are also soooo goood . You can’t really go wrong here.“

“My brother and I (both Korean) thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Mr. Pig! We’ve been to countless Korean BBQ spots, and honestly—this might just be the best one in town. The food was incredible (their ssamjang? Top tier!), and the vibe was even better. We got a good laugh from the wall art—seeing IU casually placed among historic icons was such a fun touch.

But the real highlight? The amazing 이모님s (auntie servers). Warm, attentive, and full of personality. 10/10 recommend just for them alone!

And to my fellow Americans: if you’ve never had naengmyeon before, this is how it’s supposed to taste. Don’t ask them to change what’s already perfect.“

“David and Mark was awesome and made our Korean dining expérience fun and mémorable!“

“I have to say, this is probably one of the best Korean restaurants in the area. The food is absolutely delicious, and while the restaurant isn’t very big, it can get super busy and packed. Bless the hearts of the chefs, helpers, and wait staffs. they’re doing their best to serve amazing Korean food to everyone on time! Highly recommended to everyone!“

“Best food on the Ocean City boardwalk hands down, coffee was also amazing, incredibly friendly service, cant wait to eat there again! run there dont walk!“

“My wife and I dine here often because the food is the best. It's above a Korean food market in a simple food court. We usually purchase some additional side dishes from the market which is something you couldn't do in I regular restaurant.“

“Our first time here and it was amazing and different from the usual eating out! We will be coming back!“

“Wanted to try something different and everything that I saw coming from there had looked good and the smell made your stomach growl. I had the "stir frie noodles" with beef and the spicy 🌶 chicken wings. They were both wonderful! I throughly enjoyed my meal and would definitely go back there again! So glad I tried them!“

“First time trying Korean bbq. Our waitress Esther was super sweet and explained everything to a T. The marinated beef and chicken were tasty and the short rib she suggested was delish. We’ll definitely be returning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Go Hyang San Chun is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Korean food! The dishes are packed with traditional flavors, and the banchan (side dishes) are out of this world—there's such a great variety, and each one is so fresh and delicious. The service is also top-notch; the staff is warm and welcoming. The owner is absolutely wonderful—she always makes you feel like part of the family and truly cares about every customer’s experience. If you're looking for a genuine and heartwarming Korean dining experience, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!“

“I had been eyeing on this mari mari restaurant awhile, finally had a time to try them out omg the inari was so good, the tonkotsu ramen was delicious but I maybe I’m alittle confused about small portions protein of the meat but the dishes was good and satisfying might go here with a friends next time ☺️“

“This was my first time at a Hot Pot. My daughter has been wanting to try it and my friend goes there a lot and she recommended it. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice n patient. It was so much to choose from. The location is peaceful and not far so I will be going often. I recommend to try the soup because you can create anything you want! They just keep bringing things as you ask for it. I will try the other foods I see on this fb page it all looks delicious!“

“Unique and delicious spot at the Upper Darby H Mart food court. Love to order their jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) takeout. Authentic and chewy with good size portions. Easy to call over the phone. Simple and well priced. Service is excellent.“

“I got the tofu curry rice. It came with a lil bit of cucumber kimchi, white rice, steamed tofu, and vegetable curry. It cost $10 and took ~15 minutes.As for the dish itself, the cucumber kimchi was amazing and the portion of the meal was big, I had leftovers. The curry was sweet, not at all savory, and it had the texture of a loosely gleatinzed stock. It might sound bad, but the texture isn't bad when you eat it with rice. Doesnt feel like curry though.The menu seems pretty affordable and expansive. Unfortunately they only accept cash but I would definitely go again!“

“Food was delicious � and the service was excellent!!!! I would recommend this place, also it BYOB ����awesome sauce ������“

“My friends always told me about this spot and I finally had time to stop by and girlllllll I'm glad I did!!!! Chicken is so flavorful and crispy and moist inside!!! Honey and the spicy are my favorites. The chicken sandwich is bomb too!!!! Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu!! Free parking right up front and This place is a must if visiting Philly!!! 😋🤤😋“

“Delicious and value for money. I was impressed with quality, quantity and service. It's a nice little restaurant, with a lot of options for food and drink.

One thing I would note: if you pay by card, there is a fee. So cash is the way to go or ask.“

“Tina’s kitchen located in Suburban Station. They have good breakfast. Small place with small amount of tables and chairs. They also make sandwiches and have different Asian dishes. Place is pretty decent all around. Tina and her husband are really nice! Had Turkey BLT on Rye.“

“If you know what to expect from a Korean dog on a stick, you'll be happy.

I ordered the "potato & sausage." It's a great value: inexpensive, but very filling.

Basically, it's a hotdog, coated in pancake batter, covered in diced potatoes, dusted with sugar, and squirted with ketchup. The whole game is about a marriage of sweet and savory...plus, juxtaposed textures.

The hotdog is salty and smokey, with a juicy and buoyant bite--the hot dog "snap." The batter is chewy and cakey. The potatoes are crisp and creamy. The sugar is sweet. The ketchup brings a burst of vinegary acid that balances the whole thing out.

It's a very particular flavor experience. I'm sure lots of people will think it's gross. If you're one of them, don't order it. If you like this kind of thing, you'll be grateful that there's a truck on campus that serves it.

One caveat: the wait is longer than it should be. So, even if it's not busy/crowded, expect it to take longer than you'd like.“

“Intimidating menu because Im not korean. But what we had was yum! Had the short ribs and brisket bbq. Waiter was super cool. Decided to try after watching some dramas on tv. So glad i did because freaking delicious....dont know what i ate...but so many different interesting flavors.“

“Wonderful folks to work with.“

“The lady who I assume owns this restaurant is such a sweetheart! Food was pretty good, service was great. Other restaurant owners in this food court are cold and reserved, which really deterred me from eating at the food court in general. Very affordable too, spent about $10 per person!“

“Another great little hidden gem so many in philadelphia, we had an awesome cold soba noodle salad and spicy marinated cucumbers on the side.The bowl was very big so we were able to share what a nice place.Great place to come and just relax and enjoy nice summer night. People were very nice“

“We loved the first dining experience and kept coming back drove about 30 minutes just to enjoy the flavors. But recently the price has increased and the quality of the chicken has reduced. I remember we ordered boneless with all white meat and now they are mixed and to be honest I don't like the taste of the boneless anymore, they are like not real meat or not well cooked which is unlikely if the claim was true 360 degree frying and timed by the robotic arms. Everytime we spent between $80 - $170 for 2 adults and 2 kids. Although we still like the unique flavors but with the price, the quality and the portion we don't think we might visit again.“

“Never disappoints“

“The only other spot that I'm aware of the does wood charcoal Korean bbq is Kim's Restaurant( Kim's BBQ) in the Olney section of North Philly. The prices here at Nagwon Garden are way more affordable. Wood charcoal adds a nice flavor to the meat. Most other places use either electric or gas table grills. The other thing is, when you call them, the lady answers in Korean. They don't advertise that they use wood charcoal in English, only in Korean. So you know it's an authentic and legit experience! Take it from a Korean person.“

“My wife and I attended the Valentines Day five course special at the Grill Room, and after five years of marriage it stands out as the best Valentines Day dinner we’ve done out. The food was amazing from the first course to the table side prepared Bananas Foster (which was the best dessert I’ve personally ever had in a restaurant). The meal itself offered a large range of options to suit every appetite. My wife and I were able to pick different choices and it gave us both a wide tasting of the options (since we shared everything apart from the first plate). The food was top notch, way above what we had paid for such a wonderful experience. And let’s talk about price for a moment, you would imagine a meal that amazing would be unaffordable, and you would be wrong. Well within even the most frugal couples price range. Our server was excellent, with excellent service skills. The chefs work spoke for itself, but he has a great sense of humor to interact with as well. The management staff was on point, and seems dedicated to outstanding service. It was the first time I was here, but I guarantee it won’t be the last.“

“Love there � dumplings��� i can eat them all day�“
