Karden - Cold Makguksu - Korean Near Me - Ridgefield, New Jersey

This is a classic Korean restaurant with lots of choices. We tried a lot of dishes and everything was amazing. I have a small complain for the portion of the food given the price. Other than that, the place is well-lit and nicely cleaned. Service was great too. read more

KARDEN @ Ridgefield A great place for girls' gathering with its modern ambience and somewhat fusion dishes. We had Cream udong with cod roe : Not too thick cream and with the salty cod roe, it gave the umami. (But, quite unfamiliar with squash and eggplant in it.) Stir fried pork with octopus ($47 for 2) Large hot pan and stir fried onions to give it sweetness. Looks very spicy but very tolerant level. After we were half way through, they asked if we wanted to fry some rice. (Additional charge $9) Then the beef tartare with buckwheat noodles. I have always loved their beef tartare and it was well complemented with the noodle and veggies ($38). read more

Overall a nice modern Korean restaurant in north Jersey. Came here for a friend's reunion for which we had a weekend dinner reservation we called ahead for. Service overall was friendly and timely though they did completely miss one of our drink order. But when we brought it up, they resolved it. Food itself was good - We had a larger group so got several different main plates and the ones I tried had overall good flavors. Ambiance is nice and in line with similar modern Korean restaurants. Good for dates, groups, and even a nice dinner out with the family. read more

Wow, it's been awhile I was satisfied with everything about a restaurant, from the ambiance to the service and the food in its representation and the taste. I had this place bookmarked for awhile and finally got to come here with a friend. The area wasn't what I expected but once you walk inside, it is a completely different vibe. It's somewhere I would come for a nice meal with my parents or for a date night. The staff here are very friendly and give you enough space so you can enjoy your time with your party, but attentive enough so that we don't have to ask for our cup to get our water refilled. We ordered the k-beef striploin tartare bibimbap and the marinated pork galbi gui. Both were SO good and I love the sides that they came out with, as well as the representation/plating for everything. The grilled meat did get cold pretty fast but it was still very yummy! We left feeling very satisfied and I definitely want to come back here with my parents! read more

We made reservations for a Saturday evening dinner to celebrate Mother's Day. The restaurant has their own parking lot to the side, although self parking spots are limited and the other handful of parking are valet. The restaurant has an upscale appearance with a casual and family friendly vibe. The staff were all very friendly and the service provided was top notched. We ordered the fried pork skin as appetizer and the han ban for two as our main entree. The food was delicious and plentiful. The meats were all flavorful and tender. The egg and soup dish were great and complimented the meats very well. We will definitely return to try out other menu options. read more

My partner and I reserved for the night of Valentines Day at 7PM and we were promptly seated. Keep in mind that it is Valet parking mandatory so we asked for cash breaking inside so we could tip after dinner. The interior is very pretty and clean, and makes for great ambience. There's also Korean music playing which we enjoyed. We ordered the prix fixe menu for Valentines Day at $99/person. Surprisingly it came with lots of food and we left stuffed and with some minimal leftovers. We started with a complimentary glass of champagne for both of us. For appetizers, we got the pancake flight (4 pancakes, truffle,meat,etc) and fried fish. For entrees, we were served a meat platter for 2 to share, and then each chose an additional entree (spicy octopus bibimbap and perilla oil pasta). We ended the night with a basque cheesecake. Overall my favorites were definitely the fish, the meat platter for 2, and the spicy bibimbap. The cheesecake was also creamy and a sweet way to end the night. We came knowing we'd be paying for a more fancy meal and a prix fixed for Valentines, but we left pleased at the quality overall of the food. The only things that could be improved was the service speed near the end of the meal as it was hard to get our check. (And more options for parking!) But overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would maybe come back for another occasion! read more

15/10. This spot is PHENOMINAL. Would definitely come back to this area just to eat at Karden. Ambiance -- definitely upscale but not so upscale that it's snobby. Very clean, comfortable seating, medium volume. Service -- very attentive! Not so much that you feel pressured to leave or order. Very precise. I asked for the sweetest cocktail on the menu, and my server came back with a specific answer. No guessing games. Food -- OUT OF THIS WORLD. Seafood Udon is a must have. The sauce is so creamy and perfect, with a slight kick! 100/10, would make an excuse to fly out her to come again. read more

Food 7/10 Ambiance 10/10 Service 10/10 Tips : make reservations in advance this is a "high-end " Korean cuisine restaurant, fusion with unique menu items. The "banchan", or side, dishes, were made from high-quality ingredients and the portion sizes were great. Only downside was that I thought the concept was really great, but some of the ingredients didn't really go well together. Service was great, one of the waitresses spilled some of our wine and gave us a free beer! Also, a unique concept of combining French cuisine/western foods with Korean cuisine, definitely a great way to introduce Korean food to foreigners. read more

Karden - Korean Near Me - Ridgefield, New Jersey

I've been to Karden twice now and it's always such an enjoyable experience for Korean food. There's ample parking in their lot. Once you enter, you're pleasantly greeted to their clean restaurant. Service is always top notch. We typically order the "Hanpan for Family" meal which has a variety of grilled and smoked meats, kimchi stew, spicy rice cake, fluffy steamed egg, and so much more. It's a great amount of food; perfect for 4 people. Highly recommend Karden! read more

Karden is a modern Korean restaurant that has a bit of everything but with a very modern upscale spacious look. But don't let the decor fool you thinking it is only about fining dining. They have quite a bit of everything from traditional comfort Korean dishes to trendy dishes. It's a good experience for the uninitiated into Korean food in a very nice looking restaurant. The food is on the pricier side but the value is there with the service and decor. If you are on a date then picking the combo package per person is the way to take out the guesswork and have a bit of everything. Cocktails are very nice, Asian infused cocktail drinks. read more

Delivered order. First time trying this place... I wanted to eat as healthy as I can with no spicy things because I had an issue with the stomach before a medical procedure 2 weeks ago; I'm recovering . I love spicy food but , for now I can't. This plate was exactly what I was looking for!!! I think with the spicy sides or the spicy salsa ( gochujang, I guess) the bibimbap has to be impressive!!!.... Personally, I removed egg and 2 more things ( I'm not sure if were doraji and gosari ) I'm not a big fan of chewy- rare food Next time, I'll try this with Gochujang sauce and the spicy sides..... mouth watering now Thank you guys, blessings! read more

One of the best Korean set meals I've had. Huge selection of all your popular Korean dishes into one meal. The quality was good, sausage, Galbi, egg, soup, rice cake, shrimp were the highlights. While the menu says it's for 2, I think it's more perfect for 3. Great service and I would come back! I believe it was around $120 after tax? read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Bergen county. So much so, I visit here for a celebratory dinner after exams as my go-to treat! Dishes I get repeatedly are the truffle potato jeon and cod cream udon. The ambiance and decor feels very clean and classy, and the service is always so kind. read more

Please save your money and don't come here. We had a bad start with the tuna tataki appetizer. The tuna was straight up FROZEN, it tastes more like ice than tuna. We sent the dish back to the kitchen, but they brought it back out and told us it was how it was supposed to taste like. I've had tuna tataki at other restaurants before and never had this experience... My husband ordered beef tartare bibimbab, and the beef was also frozen. It seems like it's the norm to serve frozen meat at this restaurant. The service and the grilled meat at the restaurant is good-ish, which is the only reason why it would deserve 1 star. For the price tag ($99/pp for a 4-course meal) and the bad experience, we would never come back here. read more

Karden - Beautiful presentation, terrible taste unfortunately. - Korean Near Me - Ridgefield, New Jersey

Upon entering I did NOT expect such a nice interior. I had heard it was a korean restaurant. Whenever I drove passed, the entire area always looked packed. I knew this place was popular but now I see why. Everything was beautiful. Duo set - so much foooood Pasta over stone pot Truffle potato jeon - unlike any potato jeon I've ever had This is the perfect place for groups, family, and occasions for impressing. Platings and presentations were aesetically pleasing. We must have had a little bit of almost everything. Lunch weekdays are the best deals. Parking is available in a small side lot. Love love love this place! Will be back for more! read more

Got the hanpan for family and it's a great deal. Has a lot of food including four big bowls of cold noodles after. However the meats were just okay and ended up being a bit dry after a while with the small fire to keep it warm. The pasta was a big hit with the creamy sauce and fried fish/cod? Service was great and it's a great spot for a big party. read more

Loved the whole experience of coming to Karden. The waitstaff was warm and accommodating - I guess they only recently opened up because they asked us for our feedback after the meal. On my reservation, I had noted we were celebrating our birthdays this week, and they came over to give us complimentary shots!! (which tasted great and fruity btw) We didn't know what to order, so our waiter recommended that we get the BBQ special for 2. False advertising because it's really for a family of 8 people, JK! We got a huge tray set between us - with assortment of 3 or 4 different meats - and surrounding the meats were different kinds of appetizers and vegetables, like steamed egg, Korean fried chicken, kimchi, kimchi soup, radish, etc! Only suggestion - definitely ask for a side of white rice :) read more

A beautiful restaurant serving both sophisticated fusion dishes and cozy Korean favorites. The interior is clean, minimal, and upscale. A great spot for a date night or if you are trying to impress someone! For appetizers, we tried the grilled artichoke, truffle potato jeon, and the beef tartare. The artichoke dish was a bit small, but the gochujang hummus it came with was delicious. The truffle potato jeon was light, airy, and super crispy. The truffle sauce was decadent and paired perfectly. The beef tartare was refreshing and high quality. The main entrees we tried were the yookgaejang and the bibim naengmyeon - both were cozy and good. Most entrees come with rice and 3 side dishes. They serve warm water! It was perfect for the cold weather outside. People are always cleaning up the table and serving more water. read more

I went with a friend for dinner. We got the cod udon noodle pasta and the meat platter for 2. THE FOOD IS SO GOOOD!! Definitely highly recommend the meat platter. The meat is cooked and seasoned to perfection. They also have amazing side dishes and desserts. I usually hate cheesecake at any location but my friend ordered the cheesecake and it was literally the best cheesecake I had in my life. This is the only cheesecake I would actively seek out. The restaurant is also very clean and the staff is very friendly and professional as well. Lastly, i highly recommend their signature cocktails. They have a cocktail called "sunflower" and i don't know what they put in it but it's absolutely delicious. 11 out of 10 read more

Galbi Gui is all you need to know, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention all the other delights that could be had at this modern Korean restaurant. In addition to the Hanpan Duo which includes a kimchi soondubu and two soji highballs (which easily feeds 3), we ordered: Galbi Gui Beef Tartare in Spicy Cold Broth Smoked Pressed Pork Trotters Karden Tonkotsu (for the white guy) Drinks: Karden of Eden Power of Innocence Everything we ate exceeded our expectations. read more

So, I live in California and don't really expect to find superior Korean food in New Jersey, but Karen goes to prove that this is a thing! Karden is apparently one of the places to be for Korean food. It has a nice upscale interior design and is priced to go with that. We had a party of six and went for: Galbi Gui Beef Tartare in spicy cold broth Smoked pressed pork trotters Karden Tonkotsu (checken fried pork, more or less) and a couple of drink specialties including Karden of Eden Power of Innocence Our party found the food uniformly great. No rejects at all. And, the service was wonderful as well. So, I guess I have to come to NJ now for Korean food ... Definitely on the list for my next visit. read more

The beautiful, upscale interior echoes the colorful plating presented at Karden! I was pleasantly surprised by the large portion of the Hanpan - for a group of 4, we ordered the Hanpan for Duo and a pasta and it was a lot of food. The meats are very soft and too seasoned so you can try the various accompanying sauces (like soybean, salt, wasabi, etc.). Beyond the meats, my personal favorites of the Hanpan were the Soybean Stew and the fried boneless chicken. read more

Straight to point: 1. Taste is great 2. Service is OK 3. Price vs quality&quantity is decent, slightly on the pricy side Place is not too shabby. Overall most food tasted really good. Beef was on point, pork jowls was great, and house bacon was top notch. Other side dishes were 8~10 out of 10. I would go back to try other items for sure. Reason for 4 stars is the service was very slow. 35 minutes for appetizer (Gamja Jun) to come out and it was disappointing. I would scrap this 'fried hash browns' and bring out the traditional Gamja Jun. Sauce was good though. Then over 1 hr for main to come out. Now, I don't expect things to come out immediately but this was bit extreme. Granted it was Friday night but not 1 person came to tell us any update. Cream ale doesn't really go with any of the food. Might want to consider other pairings to see if it makes sense. And 1 last minor detail, please fry dduk-ggochi slightly to give it a crispy outer texture. By the way, I was hearing every time someone was cursing inside the kitchen/prep area. "I-C-8 this, I-C-that" in Korean lol. Might want to watch out. Anyways, will see later when this place has settled. read more

Very nicely decorated Korean restaurant. Pleasant staff. Food was authentic , plentiful and delicious with many options to choose from.

My family and I frequented this place because of their modern take on Korean food that doesn't stray too far off of the known classics but rather an enhanced version. The staff were attentive and quick enough to attend to your requests as well as giving good food suggestions. Inside look really feels like you're in a somewhat upscaled place of your traditional korean home cooked restaurants. This place will always be included in our eating out rotation! read more

First, there is a great a parking space right outside, super easy to find parking. The interior is very modern and chic, not like your typical Korean restaurant. The space is very big and great for a gathering. We came on a Sunday for dinner without reservations, and the staff was accommodating and nice. We did not have to wait to get in. We ordered the Hanpan for Family for a party of six and it was lots of food! We couldn't even finish all the meat. It came with a variety of meat from pork to beef, but the side dishes were the star of the show. Our favorite was the spicy rice cakes skewers as it was sweet and spicy. The soups were also very delicious. Overall, a great new restaurant to check out if you're looking for modern Korean food! read more

The duo hanpan could be almost perfect if the bread that came with it wasn't so stale and tasteless. Drinks were good (loved the Karden of Eden). Dessert was good (K-Zeppole with homemade ice cream) but nothing special/crazy. One thing I was kind of annoyed about was the fact that I parked my car myself and also took my keys from the valet stand, walked to my car to drive home after, but the valet demanded I give him tip. He literally didn't do anything but I still had to give him tip. For what?! read more
