Honestly this place has the best Korean food in NJ in my opinion but their service is TERRIBLE which is why I'm giving such a low rating.. the Korean ladies in their sixties? (Think they're the owners as I usually see them at the counter or making dumplings on the side/cooking in the back) are incredibly pushy slash borderline rude/condescending. I don't enjoy being pressured to order more but that's how I feel every time I go there when one of these older Korean ladies takes my order. Def doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth despite the top notch quality of their food. read more

The food here is very good - it seems like they specialize in the home-cooked foods familiar to the northern provinces of Korea. Overall, foods fron this region of the country are more hearty, less salty, less spicy and more clean tasting than you find in the southern areas. Acorn jelly, dumplings, beef bone soups, mung bean pancakes are all authentic. read more

I'm writing this review due to an insulting and ridiculous incident that my mom experienced on 8/14. My mom went to this restaurant on 8/14 with a grandma we know from a church. Both of them have not been here for months so they decided to get dumpling soup. While they were eating their meals, one of the female workers in her 40s accused them for running away without paying for the food previously. The worker stated they didn't pay for the food and ran away to the car. My mom and grandma were so shocked and had no idea what this lady was stating. My mom asked when did this incident happen, if this person she is describing ran away to their car then what was the color or size of the car, if the restaurant has any evidence with security cameras. The worker said she doesn't remember anything about the car, they don't have security cameras, but she surely remembers that it was my mom and grandma who ate and didn't pay last time. There were many people in the restaurant and they were being falsely accused in front of many people. My mom had other arrangements so she decided to leave and the grandma insisted to just eat leave because she doesn't want any more problems. My mom called the restaurant multiple times to speak with the owner but the worker rudely said "I can't give you the number and you can bring the police if you want" This worker was clearly not being professional by addressing sensitive matters in front of many people AND falsely accusing my mom and grandma without any evidence whatsoever. This is far the most ridiculous incident that my family experienced within the Korean community and this is embarrassing. We expect a respectful apology from the owner and the worker for such unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. If this is not being addressed properly, we will take further action. read more

So happy that this place opened in Bergen. Their first location which is in north wood or something like that and is too far and annoying to drive to. The food is fresh and you get dishes that you don't get in most restaurants. My must have is this mook dish. Kind of like a jelly, but more dense than jello. It comes like a salad. It is soooooo good, light, and tasty. Every dish is actually really delicious. Yes. The price is higher but the food is really prepared with care. Their bindaedduk is also incredible. This is not a BBQ place by the way. I'm so glad that this type of Korean food option exists here. read more

Came here because a) Mitsuwa in Edgewater closes most of their stalls at 8:00p on weekends b) getting a little tired of the usual at Fort Lee and c) H-Mart...H-Mart is right next door. A little more unusual than most places since they did not serve me the usual banchan, the menu is kinda limited (even more limited since they ran out of the red meat, so no Seollongtang for me), and well...their servers are two nice little Korean ladies who barely speaks English...but they more than made up for it in the service...which is as humble and courteous as you can get. The food is excellent - the dumplings (mandoo guk) is large and flavorful, and the soup is elegant without being bland. Price is a little high, but it was well worth it. I'll definitely come back again. read more

I really recommend this Korean restaurant. All of their soups/stews are superb, made from high quality ingredients. The side dishes are simple and traditional. Everything is handmade. From the music to the warmth to the non-kitchen aroma, the atmosphere is soothing like a spa and the lighting is phenomenal #nofilter and best of all they keep it very clean read more

Very good mandu and other dishes too. Slightly different from other Korean restaurants, more homemade style and lighter in flavors, very comforting food :) read more

Do not come here if you are looking for a normal experience. You will leave this place with your day ruined with filthy attitude the workers here give you. The people are too rude to care about your well being. I seriously advise any of you reading this place's reviews to not come here for your and your party's sake. The most atrocious and rude workers I have experienced in a very long time. read more

Lunch was very nice. Simple dumplings soup was tasty with out MSG. Service was sufficient.

Have been ordered to go for many times, order Bosam to go today, they forget to put the white cabbage and spicy radish, make sure double check your order before you go. Food quality is great, but some waitresses speak poor English and assume every Asian looking one are Korean, for long term business development, this part needs to be improved. read more

Food is always fresh and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. It's a little pricier compared to other places around town and serving size is on the smaller side but quality is always consistent and delicious. read more

This exceptional restaurant is not the usual NJ/NY Korean restaurant. The ingredients are not only of very high quality but the food is prepared in a very healthy and light manner, much like Korean temple food (except that they use high quality meats and seafood). You won't find many places like this in the United States and you have to really appreciate Korean food to appreciate the difference. Many who are used to the far-too-sweet-salty-spicy-MSG-drenched Korean food that is unfortunately common in most places may actually find the food here a bit bland. For those who can appreciate high quality authentic Korean food, this place offers the best dumplings, the best bibimbop & the best yukejang, among other dishes. read more

The food were okay, nothing good nothing bad. They didn't have some popular entrees such as Soon Doufu. The portion were small, but the price was as expensive as in Manhattan K-town. For a common Korean restaurant in ridgefield, I think it was overpriced. Just okay experience. read more

It's okay.. they emphasize on their dumplings so we ordered the dumpling soup. There were 4 huge ones. Extremely big. I'd rather have smaller ones and more dumplings but that's just my preference. They also sell frozen ones I believe.. to me, I've definitely had better dumplings that are cheaper. Also, something I don't like was inside or something so the smell just got to me. I have also tried bean noodle soup. It was pretty bland. The service/ambience was a bit weird. Its location is good though. read more

food quality sucks for the price. called in an order and still had to wait for food. it takes 30 min for salad. literally just some greens and some mook. absolutely tastes like crap. i'd rather pay the same price for 6piece chicken nugget at mcdonald's. read more

This is my favorite Korean restaurant in NJ! You can tell the food has been prepared with care and service is good too! Love coming here for bosam, dumplings, galbi tang, etc. but my favorite so far is the acorn salad! So fresh and delicious! read more

Food was so fresh and good! Portions are kinda small for the price, but this food is definitely different (traditional with a twist) and not what you'd typically find at the other Korean places. Bonus points for the waitress who is a Korean ethnic minority from China and spoke Chinese to us! read more

Soram - Acorn jelly salad, dumpling bone soup, beef wrapped around king oyster mushrooms, and the best kimchi I've ever had - Korean Near Me - Ridgefield, New Jersey

This restaurant is for those of us who appreciate delicious, homemade and high-quality Korean food. Soram only uses fresh ingredients without msg. The menu items are meticulously chosen and they are well-known for their handmade mandoo (dumplings), so try them steamed. My favorite is their mandoo guk (dumpling soup) which uses a rich meat broth as the base and has mandoo and dduk (rice cakes). You can purchase the mandoo frozen to take home. Their banchan (side dishes) and seasonal items are always on point. If you want trendy fast food items or an overwhelming menu, go somewhere else. If you want a legitimate Korean dining experience in a warm and clean environment with a friendly, attentive staff, try Soram. This is one of my favorite Korean restaurants. read more

Went there this past weekend again and they had Nak Ji which is spicy octopus. Definitely one of the best Nak Ji dishes I have had...The Octopus was cooked to perfection. Added some pics. read more

This is a gem of a Korean place. It's clean and has a peaceful vibe about it. Everything just feels intentional and has a woman's touch. Even the dishes were pretty! They don't give you a slew of banchan (side dishes) but what they do give is delicious and definitely feels like it's cooked with love. It's a little pricier than the average Korean restaurant but not enough to be a deterrent, I really loved this place! Perfect for taking the parents or gfs who want a notch above the average but still want to eat out Korean. They even have select dishes prepackaged - we took 20 pc mandoo (dumplings) to go. It was $20 I think? But they were the prettiest shaped dumplings I ever did see. haha I'll update when I try them, they're still sitting in the freezer as of yet. read more

One of my favorite Korean restaurant. Clean and neat, Healthy food here. Always enjoyed one of best quality and service around here. read more

Excellent Korean restaurant! And this is coming from a fat old Korean guy whose eaten everywhere. The mandoo (dumplings) are homemade and tasty. Mandoo (dumpling) soup had a white broth that must have taken a long time to make and fat dumplings. My father-in-law got yuk-gae-jang (spicy shredded beef soup). He couldn't finish it because it was too much food. My mother-in-law got kalguksoo; she's an excellent cook and she ate everything and then drank the soup. My wife and I got duk-mandoo guk (dumpling soup); I highly recommend this dish. Everything was so delicious. This is a place I can eat at every day. read more

High quality Korean foods. Strongly recommend! I don't understand why its so underrated here. When you take a look at Google review, it is 4.5 out of 5. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurant in town. Their homestyle Mandoo(dumplings) is tasty and their Bindae-dduk(mungbean pancake) is quite authentic, too. My only gripe is the price point.. it is a tad too high, IMHO. read more

Authentic Korean place known for their dumplings. The menu on the wall is all in Korean. They do have some photos on their printed menu. Not a large selection but the food is fresh and the beef soup is so soothing! The Korean ladies that took our orders were so sweet. read more

Soram had been one of my favorite Korean restaurants when I was looking for traditional and home cooked. However, the quality and promise behind the food has changed and they no longer keep that promise. People who are not familiar with korean cooking may be unaware of this. They mix SPAM into their (normally you should put pork). Their and have way too much milk mixed into it. Their kimchi is just straight up salt. All of this has been gradual of course and now I'm just disappointed. If you're looking for quality and good taste for similar prices, I advise everyone to check out Gayeon in Fort Lee (this is not an ad). read more

Decide to check this place out for dinner since we were craving for some Korean food. Wasn't sure what kind of Korean food they served so went in to check out their menu. The place was completely empty. Perhaps we were eating a bit early for dinner. Their menu seemed okay so we decided to dine in. The bf had ox knee bones stew (do ga ni tang) an I ordered the rice cake dumpling soup (dduk mandoo gook). We saw they were making the dumplings from scratch when we first walked in so I wanted to see how that would taste. I was glad I ordered it. Their dumplings were huge and meaty. It was delicious. I finished the entire bowl. His soup stew was great as well. Their food was surprisingly tasty, fresh and clean. For some dishes they served us a small bowl of squash jook (congee like) and a small plate of cabbage squid salad and kimchi. Presentation was very quaint. The restaurant isn't very big.. but since their food was tasty, who cares. We will definitely come buy next time to try out their other dishes or again order their dumplings. read more

Over priced for very small portion appetizers... Especially Chung po muk was tiny amount... way to small portion. Noodle soup dish has no deapth on taste just saltiness on palette in most of dishes. read more

A few new menu items that I didn't see last time around! They don't give you a lot of side dishes, but everything served was thoughtful and perfectly chased the meal. I always felt bad about leaving all of that extra banchan other Korean joints anyways. Can't recall any memorable side dishes at other places... But the white kimchee and the pumpkin porridge at Soram are clearly remarkable. The gamja-tang and yook-ghe-jang were the winners today. Tasted like authentic homemade goodness. Clean, flavorful depth. Definitely a level above other Korean restaurants in jersey. Highly recommend if in the area! read more

Food is awesome. But I'm taking stars off because of the bad attitude of one of the servers. She kept on nagging us to order quickly and repeatedly asked us if we were ready to order for more than 4 times in within only 10 minutes. That was 10 minutes after we just got seated. We felt extremely uncomfortable and asked her that we didn't want to rush as one of us was trying out Korean food for the first time and we were basically explaining the dishes to him, so that he could have enough info before he decides on what he wants. The lady told us that people who are not familiar with Korean food usually have no problem in deciding what they want and kept on urging us to decide faster. Such an uncomfortable experience it was and though I could tell the food quality was really good, I couldn't fully enjoy it. Other servers were nice tho. read more

I will not eat there anymore!!!! I asked kalbi jjim togo for my lunch and they charged me $55!!!! They cooked a dinner portion without asking me. Over price! They tried to cheating on price!!! read more

After all reviews, i had decided try this place. I felt so sorry for people who were raving about this place. This place offers mediocre Korean foods, nothing really special. I can have these level of foods in Orange County, CA at any restaurants at half of the price. So sad, nothing to eat in New Jersey.what a rip off! read more

Service is snobby, food is small portion and taste merely ok. The dumplings seem to be okay but way over priced. The servers don't speak English, they don't give you rice unless you ask for it (when they are supposed to bring the rice voluntarily) and they are stingy on giving you an extra rice, even if you ordered many dishes. They laugh at you if you don't give abundant tips at the end, they expect more than minimum when their service and food don't deserv read more

Hidden gem of ridgefield, and the perfect place to grab a meal post-or-pre-shopping haul at H-Mart across the street. As much as I love kbbq I love "home style" Korean food even more and am always trying to introduce it to people who are unfamiliar with anything past kalbi and bulgogi. Soram is committed to serving high-quality and traditional meals that turn out to be very healthy and guilt-free by default. They have outstanding mandoo-guk, which is an opaque bone-broth soup with dumplings. If you aren't feeling soup at least get the dumplings by themselves because they are incredible--- thin skin with TONS of filling. No cartilage or crunchy bits at all. Another thing I always get is the bi-bim-bap which is, yes, something every Korean restaurant has, but Soram's is damn good and they use special kinds of roots and radish you can't find elsewhere. Their secret ingredient is a sprinkling of toasted and lightly sweetened seaweed, which loads the dish with umami. Amazing!!!! Those two are my faves but you can't go wrong with anything here. They also have the best complimentary side dishes-- kimchi (spicy and non-spicy or white versions) and my favorite Hobak-jook (Korean pumpkin soup with dried date on top) read more

It's fucking discussing. Avoid this restaurant if you are not vegan. I ordered one ramen. What they gave me was basically the noodles.

Very simple, less salt, make me enjoy ingredients' original taste. They reminded me the taste of "Court cuisine". read more

Favorite family restaurant! Whenever we don't know what to eat, we just automatically drive to our second home. It feels like getting a meal at grandma's house. Everything tastes clean and the meal is always memorable, especially the kimchi. The service is welcoming and the food always comes out at a timely manner. It is a true pleasure to get a meal here and I would recommend it to anybody who appreciates high quality korean food. read more

Excellent food (would've given them 5 stars for the food alone). Terrible service (some people should not be running businesses). We were told we could not order any of the smaller portion entrees because meat prices have increased (not really our problem). We were a little confused because we had just been here last week and didn't have this problem. So, despite the fact that there was only two of us, we ordered the larger size (enough to feed 4-6 people). Not two seconds later, the table next to us was allowed to order the smaller size and we could hear them whispering and looking over at our table as if we couldn't see or understand them. Grandma told them to lower their voices because she just told us only the large was available on the menu. When the server came around to serve us I asked why the other table was allowed to order the smaller size, and rather then just honestly admitting they were given an exception, the server lied and said it was a large. It was clearly not a large as the same exact dish in the larger size was sitting in front of us triple the size. read more

It's located right next to Rigdefield Hmart, so very convenient location for lunch and grocery shopping. I've been passing by that place but finally went in last week. Meal was served with free hobak jook (traditional korean pumkin porridge) as an appetizer with boree cha (barley tea). The dumplings and Yulmoo bori bap was so good. I will definitely go again to try their other menus. Nothing fancy but a calm atmosphere with simple fresh food displayed nicely. read more
