My friends and I were craving soup on a cold day and decided to stop by To Sok Chon. It's in a more discrete spot so I wouldn't have ever imagined to stop by here, but I'm SO GLAD I DID. This restaurant was bustling on a Friday night and most tables were filled. We were seated immediately and given hot teas / waters within a minute as well as the menus. Their menu wasn't too large which actually was a good thing. I ordered the kimchijiggae and jokbal to share with my friends. Both were absolutely delicious. The Jokbal had the perfect balance of sweetness and when eaten with the sauce and kimchi, really hit the spot! My kimchijiggae was also delicious. It had a decent amount of pork and it was exactly what I needed for a cold day. Our food came out super fast, even though our party was on the larger side. The kimchi that came with our banchan was also top tier. I could not stop eating it. I wait to come back!

Gorgeous food! I can't wait to go back and try others. I thought the spicy pork was better than the other places though I can't say what it was, slightly sweeter than other Korean places I've been too but definitely way more greasy which wasn't great Not a lot of banchan though, just kimchi. I wish they'd have 1-3 options for the prices.

Ok hear me out!!! This was my very first time visiting New Jersey AND this was the restaurant my sister who lives in New York took me when I told her I'm craving for some good decent hearty Korean food, and hands down this is one of the best Korean restaurant I've ever been to outside of Korea!!! Price is very decent too!!! Considering how everything went up like crazy these days... Service was quick and the owner was very friendly. They have quite limited seats but if you avoid the busy hours I think you can easily sit down and enjoy your meal. One thing to note is that they mainly serve the authentic Korean food which not everyone would be a big fan of. My partner is a New Zealander and he likes beef soup so he ordered Seoleongtang but if you're thinking of Korean bbq or fried chicken when it comes to K food you might want to do some research before you head down here.

A homey Korean restaurant focused on flavorful stews. Would come back time and time again for their spicy chicken and potato stew. Their kimchi is sooo flavorful and fresh as well. Word of caution that parking around this area is a tad hard to find.

Best spot for Korean comfort food! Love coming here for their ox bone soup and kimchi jjigae. The prices are great and the quality is even better. They also have amazing service, the staff is very quick and thoughtful. Honestly one of the best Korean spots, better than most in NYC!

I absolutely forgot to take any pictures whatsoever but believe me when I say this is an absolute gem of a spot (I almost wanted to gatekeeper ). This place is absolutely delicious and fear not if you can't understand Korean, the menu comes complete with pictures with every item. This has probably been the best Korean food I've had in Jersey, NYC, probably anywhere. I will absolutely be returning.

The perfect place to go if you're craving Korean soup/rice (국밥). Their menu has enough variety but isn't so large that it's overwhelming. If (and only if...) you have a high spice tolerance, I recommend the gamjatang (spicy potato and pork stew). So good but VERY spicy!!!! I also liked their soondae (blood sausage), which you can get as a dish to share with others or in the form of a stew with rice. Their kimchi tastes pretty good too, which I can't say for all restaurants. Service and price are average, can't complain. Street parking can be difficult but there's also a free parking lot across from Kudo Society that you can use, which usually has several spots available.

My favorite soup place in the area! This place really makes you feel like you are in Korea! I love their homemade kimchi and I love the side of salty fish that you can put on the meats! It gives it such good flavoring! Side street parking only!
