17 Best Korean Restaurants near Metuchen

“Food is by far the best I’ve had in the area, you get complex flavors, fresh foods, amazing clash of textures, good portions all for a quite cheap price compared to all the big restaurant chains that charge more for worse, Food arrives quick and hot and service is great. No complain. Still skeptical? Just come here and buy something for yourself, a small expense for a meal worthy of critical acclaim.“

“Highly recommend! Food is delicious and portions are shareable depending on hunger level! Everything was nice and crispy! Ordered french fries, onion rings, and small orders of sweet and spicy wings (10), crispy chicken drumsticks (5) and hot and spicy boneless chicken (about 12 pieces or so). Will definitely be coming back!“

“I am so glad I finally tried this place. I wouldn’t have even known it was there if it wasn’t for the fact that it was next to Krauszer’s and that’s how I spotted it. It was clean, great service and the chicken is absolutely amazing. The wings are large, perfectly crispy, and the flavor is great! They do have some minimal counter height seating by the windows, but it’s generally takeout and I’m totally fine with that. Will definitely be ordering again!“

“I had my birthday dinner there, and the food was quite pleasing to my palate. My family and I will definitely visit again, this barbecue ribs hit the spot. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, pleasant and focused on ensuring that we had all we needed. We will definitely return, as a picky eater, I have no complaints.“

“Very neat and good food i will come back to this restaurant“

“It's more of a takeout restaurant than a dine-in. But if you want to eat inside, expect service to be slow if there's lots of people ordering takeout. There's only one lady handling the front of the house. Anyway I dine in and ordered bibimbap. I didn't expect it to be served in takeout box. But at least it tasted good.“

“This is my second time coming in and KBG never disappoints. Clean environment, very calm atmosphere and customer service is one of kind. The young lady who attends is very kind and informative and gives great recommendations. My first time my son picked the cheese only Korean corndog , he loved it! (Not greasy at all) for this time I went with the spicy chicken K-bop bowl and it was beautifully presented and delicious, definitely will be coming back!“

“Very satistfying and wholesome food. Their rice bowls are so filling with variety of veggies, chicken and rice. The variety of sauces caters to all taste buds from mild to very spicy. Honey garlic tater tots is my kids fav. The ambience is good, dont expect it to be a fine dine experience but its clean and the staff is very polite & friendly.“

“Came her with my family to give a try. Ordered the Military Spicy Cheese Ramen which was amazing and took me back to when I was stationed at Camp Casey Korea and would get this from the KATUSA Snack bar. When I realized it had a hot dog it really mad my day. ??The staff did everything possible to ensure that our experience was amazing.I had the pleasure of living in South Korea for 3yrs and didn't want to leave as I enjoyed the culture so much. Now that I'm retired I have tried many places but this HMart and food court really brought me back to my time in KoreaAlthough I live 2hrs away I will definitely be coming on the weekends.“

“We had dinner and food was delicious! We had spicy pork belly, fried chicken (amazing!) and Galbi (short ribs). My daughter who’s 8 loved the food and said it was her new favorite place. The owner was super nice and gave us a yogurt at the end ?“

“I ordered the spicy beef stew. I am amazed at the complexity of the spice where, yes, it's spicy but tantalizing where I want to keep coming back for more bites. This is my first time here, and all I can say is wow! They provided me with white rice, a hefty amount of scallions, pulled beef, broth, egg pieces, and various ingredients. There is also this solid cold food in a lil cup that tastes like kimchi and it was refreshing respite to the spice afterwards. Would recommend 10/10?“

“I've been looking for a Korean restaurant in Central NJ that cooks up a good tasting jjajangmyun and tangsooyuk. My go to Korean-Chinese restaurant in Edison closed down this year and Fort Lee is an hour away from me. This little stand in the Hmart Food Court makes really good jjajangmyun sauce and the tangsooyuk is the perfect meat-fry ratio! I wish they did half half options like they do in Korea so I can have jjajangmyun and jjambong! I also wish they gave a little bit of kimchi on the side instead of just a sad bit of yellow radish lol!“

“Like their sushi(especially specialty ones). Usually, do takeout. My last takeout was delayed for 40 min(first time ever) due to absolute "customer jam". Usually, they are half empty when I order, this time, they were packed, and there was a line waiting too.So despite huge delay - still 5 stars.. They provided me a small table after it became available, brought some tea while I waited, and even added some extras while being absolutely apologetic for the whole issue. Have no hard feeling whatsoever - guys really try their very best.“

“Service is very poor waiters no type training seat you and just leave you food burning up on grill“

“Came here COMPLETELY at random. We decided to leave for dinner with absolutely no destination in mind, only an area where we would look. Found somewhere to try, but when we parked we saw this place tucked in the corner. Walked in and loved the decor & the vibe. Medium sized venue, that has that hidden gem feel. Dim mood lighting, smooth music, & friendly staff. They also have Karaoke rooms in the back. I went back there & took a look since they weren't in use. We ordered the Half & Half Wings (1/2 Soy Garlic, 1/2 Spicy Soy Garlic), Snowcorn Roll, & Bulgogi Sliders. Everything was excellent. Glad we didn't waste our random outing. Such a great choice & a new go-to spot. Grades: Wings: A+ Snowcorn Roll: A+ Bulgogi Sliders: A“

“Great wings and great food“

“I love their fried chicken wings. Koreans know how to fry some chicken boy! Crispy and juicy on the inside. They package them perfectly as to not get soggy and they stay crispy even when reheating them the right way. The soy garlic are my favorite!! Definitely better than Bonchon!!“
