A++ The sushi portions are generous and cuts are fresh and thick! perfect for a night out with family/friends or occasional dinner! The workers are very kind and friendly, creating a comfortable atmosphere.
If you have never tried jokbal (korean pig feet) or steamed pork, this is the best place to give it a try. It isn't a sit down restaurant, more of take-out spot, however it is best for when you're home alone and watching your favorite shows.
Bossam House (보쌈집)
Beyond amazing! This is a restaurant where every dish is tasty, you will be beyond amazed no matter what dish you order. The dumplings are the best in my opinion!
Te Min Quan
Old-school Korean street food! Best place to go to with friends afterschool or after a long day of work.
Broad Bunsik
Best for a night out with friends! wood-fired whole chicken! it is pricey but worth it because they use high-quality, fresh, organic ingredients! i highly recommend getting the nurungji cheese corn dak (chicken) and the yupgi topokki!
JJ DAK
All-rounded, providing beyond tasty food, great atmosphere and excellent service! The interior is beautiful and the restaurant is always clean. The food is always high-quality and has so much depth. The prices are a bit high but the food makes up for...

Great food! Their specialty is kimbap so they obviously are a must! I recommend the Kimchi Tuna Kimbap.
Yumsem Eats: Korean Street Food
Personally my favorite place to get pizza! If you like thick crusts, this is the place to go. If you get single slices, the slices are huge and thick. Fries are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.

Best family restaurant! I've only been there twice but the food was very memorable!
Trattoria La Sorrentina
Food is always great! The tomato sauce on the pizza is very deep and flavorful. You will not be disappointed by their paninis and fries combo!
Urban Tomato | Pizza Restaurant in NJ
In an area where there is Korean fried chicken everywhere you turn, Don Chicken is where I want to point you guys to. There are two locations in Bergen County (Fort Lee and Palisades Park) but both are great. They have Ppurings Chicken (cheddar chees...
KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN | DON CHICKEN | 돈치킨
This is a more recently opened fried chicken place, but this is another spot that I would point you to. Their specialty is the Ppurinkle Chicken and their cheese balls, but honestly the cheeseballs are a hit or miss. Their potato wedges are 😘👌🏻. W...
bhc Chicken
Best for when you want something tasty but have health / macro goals to meet or are just looking out for your health. Definitely get the BLTA on panini ciabatta with a side of fries. If you're at home or have any access to sriracha mayo, definitely p...
This is perfect for a friends outing or a date. or just a dinner with family. Nothing too fancy but also makes it feel like a special day after going but lowkey that's the vibe that the plating and atmosphere gives off. The pizza is very unique and f...
I LOVE this place. The owner is a Korean guy who lived in Mexico for a bit. It's Korean style pho but with a bit of extra flavor. The banh mi here is really good. The fries here are phenomenal.

Best study cafe with tasty drinks and desserts to keep you going for long study sessions!

Cozy and vibey! The desserts are tasty but simultaneously healthy. Sitting here with your friends feels like you're in the Joseon Dynasty if it took place in the 21st century.
Cheongsu NJ: Main
This is a cafe my mom regularly goes to for her carb stock-up days and for cakes for special occasions. The pastries aren't too sweet, they are very well-balanced.

Local gem! The ice cream is very thick and flavors are rich!
Daniela's Ice Cream
The desserts here will never disappoint! When you're feeling down or your mouth is just curious or bored, get a plain froyo and an order of fries!
The Gyro Project | Fresh Mediterranean Gyros, Froyo & Bowls in NY ...
They recently rebranded to BUTTER&SCOOP and have changed a lot of their products, however their gelato, macarons and bingsu are always there. Gelato flavors rotate weekly-monthly, but some flavors you do not want to miss when they are available a...
Macaron Gelato
My childhood cafe! It's popular among locals of all ages and it is rare to see empty. Bingsus are the best here!
CAFE LEAH | Just another smartonlineorder.com site
This place is best known for their walnut-red-bean pastries and bunggeoppang, however, they have a lot of fun desserts like boba, churros, churro ice cream, bingsu, gelato and froyo! They also sell cake slices and parfaits on the side. If I'm being q...
