50 Best Korean Restaurants near Elkins Park

“What an awesome place an food👍“

“My friends and I love eating here. Always good food. Always good service.“

“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!“

“The H Mart in Elkins Park PA is unique in that there are numerous other small businesses in the building. One of them is Ga Yeon Rice Cake! There are many many varieties of rice cake treats. The square has easy parking; though can get a bit busy on the weekend. I would say coming before noon is often a more pleasant experience.

The shop takes credit card, the food the beautifully packaged and the price clearly labeled.

I wouldn't say the customer service is super friendly but honestly I'm there for fresh products, not small talk. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So it doesn't bother me.“

“The place was clean and food was ver y good. Chi namul. Doraji namul, duduk muchim, marinated shredded squid, pancake, soysauce chicken jorim, fried squid tempura.Love this place for their kimbap rice rolls. Even though it's more than 30 mins away from home, they are delicious and so worth it.“

“Probably the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. And I’m a chef who’s been around. Hot and spicy half chicken pictured.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love to cook Asian food. H Mart helps. What a selection of products. Plenty of choices in every section of the store. Don't forget the seafood section, outstanding. Beef and chicken cut in various ways. Plus, t here is a bakery and a food court. 🫠“

“Absolutely delicious. Everything was so good.“

“The best soft tofu soup in the Philadelphia area. I always order the seafood tofu soup medium spicy. Their banchan is the best I've ever had! Really tasty and fresh! Their rice is cooked in a stone pot, which is very rare in other Korean restaurants. I always feel very satisfied after eating it! Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for real Korean food in Philly, you’ve got to check this place out! Their Seolleongtang has such a deep, comforting flavor — it honestly blew me away. The owner was super friendly and explained all the dishes in detail. Hands down, my favorite K-food spot in Philadelphia!“

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

“Best Korean restaurant in SE Pennsylvania.“

“Asia Mix is one of our favorite places! We always enjoy the elegant interior, spotless cleanliness, attentive service, and absolutely delicious food. Special thanks to the owner and manager Otabek for his warm attention – this is definitely a restaurant we love coming back to!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Everything was so fresh and the servers helped us cook our meats. So many sides and options! Pricey, but worth it every once in a while in our opinion. Loved it!

4 for atmosphere because it was a little loud and the ventilation wasn’t great for such a small restaurant.“

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

“My kids took me to dinner there, I'm visiting from Texas. The food was so good. I'm recommending to anyone who will be visiting Pennsylvania.“

“yesssssssss! such a good place“

“I was reading another comment that said this was a hiden gem, and I believe its true. This location is inside the H-mart foodcourt. I have been coming here with my daughter for a year or so and I love the food and the state of it. The customer service is also great!“

“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!“

“The overall food and service is great. The person who attended was very kind and helpful. The food was great, we loved the soup and the chicken dish. By asking they can make it spicy and it definitely makes it great for some cold weather.
The best part of these meals are it’s a combo of veggies and meat so it just tastes great.
I would recommend this place and give it 5 star.“

“this is my friend and I favorite Korean BBQ every. the food so delicious and the staff are amazing and so kind.“

“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.“

“Good local home cooked goodness. JJanjangmyun - yum...“

“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 ☺️“

“Incredible service & amazing food. Andy was an outstanding waiter and we had the best time. We'll probably be back next week. GO HERE!!!“

“had the spicy chicken 🐔, very good“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is my first time living in the US since I was born haha.
As a black bean paste fan, I ordered jjamppong at Yonghwaru, which I visited in Philadelphia, USA because I was missing the taste of Korea.
I actually ate everything except the soup.
Was Jjamppong this delicious? I didn't find it particularly attractive in Korea. Maybe it's because it's in America?
Anyway, friendly and delicious!
It’s worth coming here on purpose~~~
I really enjoyed the meal.“

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

“Second time having it. Food is amazing each time. I ordered in first time and second time doordashed. Presentation is amazing and nice and crispy outside and tender juicy inside. I called to make sure they include pickled radish. Because sometimes other places dont give it unless you request. Owner was nice and kind to offer bigger size radish. And I didnt pick sauce. He included some sauce on the side for me to try. Each time their service is amazing. Offering additional flavor to try. Etc. I cannot wait to try more.
Update. I ate again leftover
Even after several hours, cold one was still so good. Reminded me of authentic Korean chicken I had when I was growing up in korea. Brought me right back to that old memory. Never thought fried chicken would make me sentimental by reminiscing old days......“

“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.“

“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!!! 😋🤤😋“

“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!“

“This Mari Mari is inside H Mart z it can be overwhelming with a big crowd . This is my first time trying Mari and they did not disappoint. Most of my rolls were cook rolls and only $11 I believe for 18 rolls . I also had an refreshing lemonade drink with was on a sweet side my good . Will be going to the eat in Mari Mari in center city soon“

“Wonderful folks to work with.“

“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.“

“You get fairly good korean food but without the full experience of banchans, etc. What we had was much better than what I expected which was a pleasant surprise. We had tofu soup, bibimbop and kimchi fried rice. We were visiting Philadelphia and just wanted to stop and have some Korean food.“

“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.“

“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“
