Finally an authentic Korean restaurant that's not far. This is legit. You know it's legit when there's ahjummas and ahjusshis all eating there, They give you lots of banchan. All homemade. They got good bibimbap, good fish, and just good home cooking. It's a small mom and pop shop. read more

We ordered the seafood pancake, grilled mackerel + kimchi jjigae combo, jaeyuk dolsot (pork stone pot rice), and the ugeoji galbitang (Korean cabbage and short rib stew). It was everything I wanted in a soup - hot, flavorful, and very comforting. This meal felt so home cooked and hit the spot on a rainy day. The service was spot on with the kindest ahjummas and it kind of felt like we were eating in someone's home. read more

Amazing authentic korean restaurant located inside a strip mall. Plenty of parking so you don't have to worry. It is quite hidden so it is easy to miss. Menu is quite large but keep in mind that some items are only written in korean. There are a lot of pictures on the menu and all over the walls in the store which does help in your decision making. Love all the bonchon and everything was very tasty. Not overly salted or sweet or spicy. They were all flavored just right! As for the food, the japchae was very flavorful and tended to taste sweeter and sweeter the more you ate it. The beef tripe stew was amazing. The soup wasn't salty like some other korean restaurants I've been to and was seasoned just right. It was so good I actually ate it all! The stone pot rice was just ok, could have used a bit more ingredients as it was a lot of rice. Service was good, the food came out fast after ordering but then it wasn't very busy at the time. Overall, a pleasant experience. I deducted 1 star as it is quite pricey compared to other restaurants nearby. read more

This is a very interesting place. I moved from fort Lee and been missing Korean food. Been looking for a great Korean spot down at Edison. I seen very reviews about this place and how it's very authentic. This place has it good and bad. Let's start with the good. The service was great. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. She even recommended things. The bad, I ordered the "army stew" Budae jjigae. It came out very sour and lack of salt. Didn't even finish the pot. It was just not enjoyable with how sour it was. It was very disappointing to me because I thought I finally found my go to spot down here in Edison. I'll give them a try again read more

Came here for dinner on Christmas Day since they were open. I had called ahead to double check and was told they close at 8pm (normally 9pm), and I'm so glad to know that because we got here a little before 7:30pm and were seated but a couple coming at 7:40 were told that the kitchen was closed. I got the gopchang jigae, and it was so delicious. There were lots of intestine pieces. I only wish the soup was a little bit spicier. The banchan was superb, and everything tasted homemade in a good way. The cheese seafood ddukbokki was the only thing that was disappointing. I wouldn't get this again--the sauce was very runny and there wasn't much cheese nor seafood. read more

This spot is sooo good. I came here for a weekday lunch and there are lunch options available. It's run by a couple so it did take 20 min to get my food, but trust me it's worth the wait. Banchan was top notch too - so many offered! - Gamjatang, (5/5): sooo good, the cabbages are so soft, and the pork fell off the bone Pls stop by and support this yummy restaurant :^) ty for reading read more

My friend and I wanted to try Korean and chose this place because of the reviews. We were not disappointed. We were the first ones seated but within 1/2 hour the place was packed with locals. Service was a bit slow since there were only 2 servers so they were not rushing us out. Really enjoyed all the food. Tasted very authentic. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while but every time I'm ready to come here, it's always the wrong day and they're closed. Well, we finally made it here! When we got here, we were the first to arrive for an early dinner, so we got seated immediately. The place is small with walls that are white with wood panels. Posters of food line it while a mounted TV is positioned on the opposite wall. There is a drinks refrigerator near the back by the entrance to the restroom and the dining area is comprised of two long booths that sit against the walls and regular tables that cover both the middle area and area by the windows. Pictures of food can be seen on the windows as well. We ordered the following: Army stew- compared to the presentations of army stews that we've ordered in the past, this one fell a little flat. There weren't as many hot dogs and spam as we expected it to have. The ingredients were different. We didn't expect this to be individual sized. Daughter felt that there weren't enough proteins in it, so she was disappointed that there were tofu in it. Squid bop- this was delicious. We're used to places that overcooked the squid but this place was just right. Gamjatang - delicious and Hubs still liked it. He said that it's comfort food. Portion is small, though. But, it's less leftovers! Fried chicken - Hubs and daughter loved it. They said it wasn't that sweet and that's why I didn't like it. This was ok. I'm not a fan of Korean fried chicken. Hubs said that he hasn't had this in a while and is a closet favorite. He knows that it's not good for him but he loved it. A small party came in, eventually. Service was pretty quick, though. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu! read more

We're in need of more authentic, homestyle Korean restaurants around this area, and I'm happy K Food opened up here! The restaurant truly gives a homey, family-run feel, and the food hits the spot. I came with a group for dinner and we shared a few dishes family-style (seafood pancake, seafood tteokbokki, dongkatsu, grilled pork belly, and bulgolgi bibimbap). Service was a bit slow, but we enjoyed the food and would happily order all the dishes again. The complimentary banchan was plentiful and delicious. Also, the menu has a nice assortment of soups and stews, which we'll have to check out next time. Will be back! read more

I ordered takeout from here for lunch one day at work because it is right across the street from me and I'd never tried it. I got the bulgogi ttukbaegi and was happy to find out that they gave me a couple different banchans as well (kimchi, fishcakes, spicy cucumber). Portion size was decent and it was very good. When I went to pick it up the place was packed so I knew that was a good sign. It was a little on the pricier size for lunch but I would definitely come back here and try more items. read more

Not sure what took us so long to find this place, but we were surprised to discover it next to my old KTV stomping ground! I knew once we stepped in and saw the old 아줌마 (ahujumma) serving that the food was going to be excellent! These mom and pop Korean restaurants always have the best, most authentic food. Ever since Chung Sol Bot closed, we've been looking for a replacement spot and K Food hits the spot^^ We tried a little bit of everything from the doenjang jiggae, LA galbi, sam gyup sal, and cheesey seafood dukbokki. Everything came hot sizzling hot and delicious. Their kimchi here is some of the best we've had! I also want to comment on complaints of service as we did not have any issue. Our server seemed to have a very good relationship with all the customers here and definitely took her time to cater to them well. She took very good care of us and we were very patient as she helped others around her. Please consider the culture here before commenting on their service! read more

New hidden gem! This place does not disappoint! Food was very flavorful and tasty. The best is their unlimited banchan or side dishes. Every dish I had: pork bone soup, bibimbap, galbi was so good!! Some people say service is slow. It's a husband and wife duo. She's in the front and husband in kitchen so give them a break. Bonus it's byob. read more

A classic mom n pop, Korean restaurant. Place is run by an elderly couple, plus we got there right when they opened, so service was little slow but the banchan tasted fresh, not from a jar and the classic dishes were decent. Nice place to stop by for K food. read more

Found this place from an instagram reel and knew I had to try it out since my go to korean place shut down. They have lunch specials on weekdays! All the food was delicious and portions were very generous as well. Pork belly was cooked perfectly and i loved all the side dishes. You'll need to wave down the servers if you need anything, which is pretty normal in korean restaurants. I think the food is much better than what you get in the H-mart plaza, its also less crowded and they have their own parking lot. Will def be coming back whenever i'm craving korean food. read more

Absolutely delectable. Tried this place completely on a whim based on some google map searching. The food was amazing. What really sealed the deal for me was how it was so clear that there were regulars to the restaurant who felt comfortable with the staff. It created a wonderfully homey environment. Definitely a place I will come back over and over again. read more

Surprised to learn they were open on Christmas day. Their banchan side dishes are the star of the show here (generally, not everything). They shine compared to the mains so far. For yookgyejang, So Kong Dong Tofu House + Lotte Bunsik are better. Skip the tangsuyuk + gamjatang (really miss Duk Soo Goong). Will need to find the dish they excel and specialize in. Tip in cash. read more

Authentic and delicious Korean food. Generous portions for a fair price. Will definitely come back again and again

Had been to this place when it was located on Old Post Road. Glad to see the authenticity and value are being maintained in this new location. Especially like their free appetizers. I am usually not a fan of kimci, but liked the crispiness and not too spiciness of theirs. read more

Came here with my family. I've tried many different Korean places all over the country. The food at this place is at the top of the list. The banchan here was amazing, kimchi was the best I ever had. Kalbi and Pork belly was also very flavorful. Japchae also amazing. There was a party at the time we came, so we thought service might be slow. We were totally wrong!!! The food came out quickly and servers were attentive and very nice. read more

Walk in no one service us, let us stand in the door wait almost half hours to ask the get a table.

Wow! I found this gem because I had a craving for Korean food. I'm just visiting but I am so lucky because this establishment is one of the best korean restaurant I have ever been to. The environment is very clean and we were seated immediately and our drink order was taken. The menu is quite large with more options on the photos on the wall. Each option seems equally delicious so it's hard to go wrong! If you're new to korean food I would say to ask the waitress how she recommends you have your course. She was extremely helpful and sweet when I had questions and willing wanted to explain! Each meal comes with banchan (side dishes) and they are actually all delicious! The kimchi is fresh and I loved it so much I ordered around 1lb to go! You will love it. We ordered a stew and a meat. Jaevuk Bokeum Spicy Stir-fried Pork and Budae Jjigae Sausage Stew is what I ordered and it was to die for. I will be back before my trip is over because I just can't get enough! If you're craving a delicious, insanely fresh lunch or dinner you have to try K Food! Top tier Korean cuisine that 100% cares about the taste, flavor and quality of their food! read more

My son and I came upon this Korean restaurant in Edison tucked away inside a plaza. We ordered the Spicy cod fish stew and Chicken Kanpuggi which were both delicious! The meal came with a good amount and various side dishes (bonchon). The kimchi is so fresh and out of this world, owner mentioned they make it fresh every day. I actually bought some to go! read more

Service was slow. Food was also just so so for the price. Silverware was cheap and bent easily. Won't be returning soon

Found this place through a recommendation for a friend and loved it! It was pretty quiet for a Friday night so definitely still a bit of a hidden gem. The vibes are very casual and the staff were pleasant. We were a bit overwhelmed by all the options on the menu- everything looked yummy- so we ended up ordering exactly what our friend had recommended: scallion pancakes, pork dolsot, and seafood ddukbokki. First of all, the portions are massive. Second, everything was delicious. This may be my new default Korean spot. read more

The service leaves much to be desired. We went on a Sunday before the restaurant was full. Our experience with the service was as such: -They served every table drinks and side dishes before ours. Even parties that came after us. -They didn't take our order til other parties that came after us ordered. -They started busting our table while we were still eating. -They charged us for take out boxes when we had nothing to take out. Admittingly I got the vibe we were being subtly discriminated against because we are not Korean. Which is a shame because the food was good. I don't think we plan on coming back due to the service. read more

I have never been to a Korean restaurant that served soooooo many side dishes before. I got full off of just the side dishes before the main entrees came out. My kids love coming here and whenever they crave Korean food, they ask to come to this restaurant. Food definitely is very good and the portion is huge... always end up with leftovers for days. Ambiance is more like a family vibe. The feeling where you visit your family back at home? I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Korean food or just feel like you're missing a home cooked meal. read more

Randomly found this authentic Korean restaurant owned by this lovely Korean couple. Their reviews on Google are on point about their unlimited and delicious banchans. Their kimchi are by far the freshest and BEST! Spoke to their daughter who happened to help at the restaurant on Fridays and Saturdays, that they should start selling their kimchi! Great family owned restaurant with great service and very attentive. Ordered a bibim bap and by far it is the best in taste that I have ever eaten. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend it. The restaurant is not very big nor the fancy type, but what matter most is the delicious food that they serve. Would definitely come back even though I live far far away only for their KIMCHI! read more

Exceptional quality; some of the most authentic Korean food in the area, definitely our go-to from now on.

My family and I tried this new Korean spot last Sunday...it blew me away. The food is absolutely fantastic. It rivals some of the best places in pal park and fort lee. We had kalbi (beef ribs), gopchang jongol (intestine stew), and agu jjim (braised monkfish) to share. Banchan was plentiful and delicious, especially the egg soufflé. For a casual restaurant vibe, the food is definitely elevated but authentic. Service was great as well. Our orders arrived quickly and we were given plenty of extra side dishes. 10/10 would go again! read more
