41 Best Korean Restaurants in Philadelphia

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

“I went to Nom Chon and ordered the tteokbokki with cheese. The tteokbokki with cheese was delicious. They bring an appetizer with the tteokbokki, which was mediocre.

The atmosphere is nice and quiet. Not fancy, but comfortable. You pay after you eat, which can cause confusion, like in my case. Not a big deal, but a little embarrassing when the person working the register yelled out loud that I had not paid for my food.

Overall experience: 4 out of 5.“

“I think this is hands down the cleanest of the three H Marts in the city. Everything feels organized, bright, and well stocked. I will say, if you do not have a car, the walk over can feel a little sketchy. But once you’re inside, it is absolutely worth it.

We came to grab groceries but also happened to catch the Lunar New Year land blessing ceremony. We had no idea where it was being held, so we asked a few staff members. They were SUPER kind and walked us toward the front, even though it seemed like they had not been fully briefed on the event. They still did their best to help and were so patient about it.

I love ready made food sections and this one does not disappoint. I grabbed blood sausage and some prepared fish and both were amazing. The blood sausage was rich and savory, great texture, not overly gamey. The fish was fresh, well seasoned, and flaky without being dry. Truly solid.

My friend exclusively buys her meat here because she says it is well priced and trustworthy, which says a lot. The produce looks great, the aisles are clean, and there is even an attached cafeteria if you want to eat before or after shopping.

Overall just a great experience. Clean, friendly, good food. I will absolutely be back.“

“The soft tofu stew here is AMAZING.
Honestly feels like a soft tofu specialty spot. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It comes with stone pot rice, and you even get crispy rice at the end.
I had oyster soft tofu stew AND The seasoning isn’t too heavy, super clean and comforting flavors.✨
Plz If you like sundubu, this place is a must-try“

“Absolutely delicious. Everything was so good.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Best Korean restaurant in SE Pennsylvania.“

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

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

“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.“

“This is my go-to place each time I'm in the food court. The tteobboki with ramen is my absolute favorite. The gimbap is also delicious. I usually prefer to go on a weekday when it's a bit quieter. The owner and her son are both so kind and professional. I enjoy seeing them each time.

Don't overthink it! Go here for the best meal at the food court.“

“yesssssssss! such a good place“

“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.“

“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!“

“Definitely recommend. Meat was high quality. Bonchon was top notch!

Service was excellent. Friendly and attentive staff.

It was about $145 (before tip) for two people (three meats). Well worth it. Best K BBQ in town!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food! Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“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......“

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

“I love this place more than any food truck on campus

This was the 24 with beef - if you love beef then this meal will be right for you. I love the taste, and the portions are great. On top of that you get fried chicken with a veggie dumpling, and kimchi. Only for 11 bucks

TLDR:
Good food
Good price
Good portions“

“I love Chinese food, and every time I visit a Chinese restaurant, I try to taste something new. This time I went for the chicken and rice. It was quite spicy, and I really liked it! The only downside is that the place is very crowded and the wait time is long, but everything else is great.“

“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 ☺️“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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“

“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“

“Never disappoints“

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

“la comida es lo mejor que hay en el sur de Philadelphia ; todo fantastico , Los tacos ,burritos quesadillas, fajitas tortas riquisimas etc y mucho mas banyan se Los recomiendo“

“A very affordable and nice hot pot/KBBQ experience in the northeast! It's well decorated, has great ambience and some of the ingredients are excellent quality. Some of the ingredients aren't as great though (I recommend staying away from the sausage and spam). The LA Galbi (bulgogi) and lamb were excellent though. Service was really nice, but I strongly recommend taking a picture of the ingredients you order before giving it to your server, they definitely missed a few items we put in. Overall, I had a great time and recommend this for experienced hot pot goers who want an affordable experience in the NE.“
