    pumpkin soup
    Chris L.

    Came here for dinner after checking out the Hmart nearby. we came for lunch and we were able to get the last table. good sign that it was busy. I think this place's signature dishes involve dumplings but I ordered the pork neck potato stew and it was really good. I tried one of the dumplings and it was very meaty but lacked salt or seasoning. it should have dipped it in soy sauce. but it was still tasty. definitely a good stop for lunch and dinner.

    Great lil restaurant right next to Hmart! Staff is super friendly and they have a great menu selection. Everything tasted fresh, healthy, and homemade.

    Best mandoo I've ever had. The filling to wrapper ratio was dreamy. Fish egg sac soup was . This is worth going out of the way to try. Will go back.

    Small restaurant on the hmart mall. Visited on early evening on Saturday. No one was there. They seated us pretty quickly. This wasnt an ordinary Korean restaurant. I visited because I heard it's more traditional and not using too much chemical ingredient. Nothing was too spicy nor salty. Everything tasted pretty plain, as compared to other restaurants, but very authentic. I would say everthing tasted like a real homemade food. From the plating to the taste, everything was nicely polished. We ordered dumpling soup and bossam. I haven't had a hand made dumpling in a while. Most Korean and other restaurants use pre-made dumplings which taste the same. I really enjoyed the dumpling. The taste of the soup may be little plain, but guess what?, this taste is normal... I realized that I was so used to eat those msg foods. Bossam was well cooked radishes were good too. Loved the dipping sause, Ssamjang. Would definitely come back more often

    This is probably the 1000th time I've been to Soram but I always forget to leave my review because everything here is soooo Good. Vibe&service: 4/5 This is a very homey, cozy small place and service is impeccable. All the servers are super patient and nice when we ask about certain dish/ask for more side dishes. Food is served promptly. Plenty of parking space. Food: 4/5 Everything here is usually really really good! Only small complaint is that the price went up a lot but I guess that is to be expected. We usually get the Myungbean (Chung po mook) and bossam (steamed pork) as appetizers and they never disappoint. Chung po mook is extremely flavorful from perilla leaves, salted seaweed, and perilla oil and super refreshing. This is my favorite! Bossam is super tender and served with spicy radish, few sauce options and pickled lettuce. This dish is extremely hard to master as pork can have gamey taste but Soram def mastered this and my husband absolutely loves this dish! We also ordered Kong biji (ground soybean), galbi tang (short rib soup), and bibimbop. All the dishes were obviously amazing but what I love the most about this place is that everything tastes exactly the same as how it was 10 years ago when I first discovered this place! Def come here for a hearty soup or any home style comfort food. You can be sure that no matter ehat time or what day of the week you decide to stop by, you will be greeted by friendly staffs and awesome food! Highly recommend!

    I came here for lunch with my boss. I was recommended to start with a basic dumpling soup (Mandoo Guk) which is apparently very popular. Had I taken my time to review the options I would have chosen something more spicy. I found the broth in my soup to be incredibly bland. I made up for it with some of the yummy kimchee and a sauce they brought me on the side. The dumplings inside the soup are delicious and there was a lady off to the side making them by hand. Prior to the dumpling soup, they brought us a cold pumpkin soup as a palate cleanser...very interesting! It had an ingredient I couldn't identify...maybe bean paste or mochi flour that gave it an odd consistency and sweetness. I wasn't crazy about this, but it was just a few spoonfuls and then Kimchi was served.

    Took my Korean mom who was visiting from Hawaii here. She loved it! This definitely says a lot as she doesn't really enjoy eating out. This place is very clean - both the restaurant and the food. I love the presentation of the dishes. Truly tastes like an authentic homecooked Korean meal.

    Highly highly recommend this spot for clean, simple Korean food with amazing quality ingredients you can really taste. The first spot in the US ive found that offers this type of preparation of korean food, that focuses on the freshness of the components themselves as opposed to spice/salt/fat etc. Very refreshing and light but filling meal. Could have run a marthon after. Loved the bibimbap and memil jeon.

    Small Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib $27.95
    Hee Yeon K.

    It's a Korean restaurant located in the plaza by H-Mart Ridgefield. The name of the restaurant is very humble, and many Korean restaurants use it, as Soram sort of means "it ain't much, but please look with a smile." It was actually used in letter-writing days to show writer's modesty to elders. It is definitely a positive vibe to be used as a restaurant's name, it relays the owner's diligence as well as humility in serving the customers. Anyways, like all the restaurants due to COVID-19, Soram was currently doing take-out orders, so the pictures weren't expected at 100%, but at least referenced. Ordered: - Small Spicy Braised Beef Short Ribs $27.95 - Ox Knee Soup (also known as the cartilage soup) $14.95 I was surprised to see 3 small pieces of short ribs in the $30 dish. We did order the small instead of the large $47.95, but I figured judging by the price, it would be for for 2 or 3 people. Surely, we did smile, not in a way that was expected perhaps, but yes. Restaurant confirmed that the small short ribs have 3 or-so pieces as to the large has 6 or-so pieces. I think we were still smiling then. The cartilage soup, I can vouch job well-done, but.. they seem to have forgotten to include the salt-pepper. But it is the last drop that makes the spill or it's the last second that counts? People tend to be drawn close to restaurants that are sensible. I was getting the sense that the restaurant is falling behind of the high-end scale that they seem to be aiming for. I am for the benefit of the doubt and hoping that the experience will be a game changer for the dine-in, as I have seen the reviews and the photos of the fellow Yelpers. Hoping the restaurant can deliver a different kind of smile in my next visit and for the restaurant to endure the effects of COVID-19. With Soram, Your customer.

    Finally came here! It was really busy in a sat afternoon. Their dumpling is the best in NJ. It's pricy but worthy. The side dishes- kimchi and yuzu lettuce are so yummy. Their tea is rice tea. Will come again. Next time I will order steam dumplings only

    Bibimbap 비빔밥 (assorted vegetable over rice- rice served separately )
    Julia N.

    Ordered and take-out about 5 bibimbaps and 5 dumpling soup. I was disappointed with small amount of veges for bibimbap. All five bibimbap each came with rice, gochujang(spicy paste) and two types of Kimchi on the side.

    Have been trying various items on the menu over the last few years and the food here tastes extremely clean regardless of what you order. The broth is always savory without any unwanted aftertaste, and the veggie dishes are light yet keeps you wanting more. Of course, the mandoos are always a sure thing here. Still see those ladies cranking them out by hand at that corner table. My only wish is that they can have another location even closer to home.

    ***this was at their other location…read more Even though the venue was small and there's limited seating, the food was so good. Best kimchi I've had in a while as well! The service was consistent, only once did we have to ask for refills for water. Food: we ordered the half and half raw marinated crab, bibimbap, abalone congee and fried oysters. Raw crabs: marinated and seasoned perfectly. We aren't a spicy loving family, but this was perfect amount for us that we could handle the spice. Our lips and mouths burned, but the good tingle, not the fire breathing 911 burn. lol Fried oysters: well battered and fried, nicely aromatic Abalone congee: perfectly textured and the abalone meat and taste was present. This helped offset the spiciness of the crabs. Bibimbap: not your average clay pot type, this was on a plate and with lots of green vegetables. Also delicious! The Bon chon was different and excellent. Variety of different vegetables, pickled and fermented. We enjoyed them all. FYI: there is a small parking lot as well

Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

I found out much later that the owner was the one actually serving and cooking for us. We were able to walk in with a party of ten on labor day. Super accommodating staff, owner knows what he's doing. Never caught his name unfortunately We ordered 4 different combos and dude was able to cook for all of us at the same time. Everyone left stuffed and I even had leftovers for the next day. I didn't get to eat everything but here's what I tried. The duck combo, pork combo, nayengmen (cold noodle I butchered the spelling I know sorry) and corn cheese. They don't do the brisket sauce like they do in la. Instead I think it was a mixture of miso and vinegar? With onions soaking in it. Paired perfectly with the pork. I've never had anything like it before. The thin cut pork belly was probably my favorite out of all the pork. The marinated duck combo was pretty interesting. It kinda felt like a ttkekbokki dish? But a little light on the rice cakes. The duck itself tasted like some really good charcuterie. It was a little too spicy for me but super good. We ended up opting to throw everything into the fried rice at the end and it made for some perfect late night leftovers that I'm enjoying as I write this review. Lovely place, hope they do well.

Once we were finally seated though, the food came out fast and our server/cook was very friendly and joined in on our convos. We loved everything we ordered, especially trying the clam gui and marinated duck for the first time. They make the kimchi fried rice at the end in the duck leftovers and it was so tasty! I would love to come back because the food was so tasty but maybe put ourselves on the waitlist next time since the space isn't large and you just have to get lucky with when you show up.

You order at the front and pick up your food when it's ready. It's actually a really convenient system, and since there is no table service, there's no expectation to leave a gratuity. The food itself is consistently good. The parking lot is very, very small and shared with the cafe next door, so parking can be a squeeze. Because it's so popular, it gets very busy during prime dining hours. Even when I've ordered takeout, there can sometimes be a decent wait to get your food so I recommend order online or over the phone ahead. They do charge a little extra if you pay with a credit card to cover the fees. If you visit during the summer months, you absolutely have to try the Naeng Myeon (cold noodle soup) or the Bibim Naeng Myeon (spicy cold noodles). They really hit the spot and are incredibly refreshing. Highly recommend!

They rotate the banchans and we get something a little different each time we go and they're all very good. One thing that really stands out is their steamed eggs. It's fluffy, hearty, flavorful and it's always my kids' favorite. The meats are of good quality and I'm obsessed with their aged kimchi which comes with any pork order so make sure you request it. The service is great as they come and grilled the meats for you and they always grill it to perfection. The only downside side is I remembered they used to take reservations if you have a party if 7 or more but this is no longer the case. We wanted to come here for a party of 8 on the weekend and they don't take reservations on weekends so we almost never make it as a big group because there's normally a very long wait time unless you come super early.

I've never had grilled oxtail before, or seen it on any other KBBQ menus, so this was an absolute must for me. Wooga is legit - authentic, service is phenomenal & attentive, and the interior is cozy but relatively well ventilated. We waited about 15 mins on a Sunday night for a party of 2. True to my over ordering tendencies, I ordered the oxtail, the small beef set, and a small naengmyun. This was SO much food. The grilled oxtail was definitely an interesting experience. It still has all of the richness & fattiness, but the little crispiness from the grilling also makes it a really addicting texture. It was admittedly a little hard to eat with the bone pieces and with it being scorching hot, but I would get this again. The beef from the set was good, but we were struggling to finish. Each set also came with a steamed egg and kimchi stew, and there's always just something about KBBQ kimchi stews that slaps. The naengmyun was decent, not the best I've had but okay. Service here though deserves 5 stars. I accidentally dropped kimchi juice on my dress, and the waiter gave me a stain remover immediately. We never ran low on water, banchan, or sauces, and all meats were cooked to our liking. Parking is available to the side of the restaurant. Will definitely be back!

    Honestly, I don't understand the hype. Nothing about this restaurant stands out compared with the…read moremany other places in town. The food was just OK, the meat was mediocre, and there was nothing memorable about the meal. The only thing that seems to stand out is the morning special price, which attracts bargain diners and makes the place extremely crowded. Otherwise, there's really NOTHING special here. For regular hour dining, there are plenty of other restaurants in town that offer much better food and quality for the money.
