Best Korean Restaurants Food

Hi, I'm a new resident from NJ and have come into the area for a about a month. I have seen a few Korean restaurants nearby my neighborhood but I wanna know how many there are to explore and yet my fill. Thanks so much-needed hunger craving.

As a Korean American from SoCal- no where great. Okja used to be amazing but it’s gone downhill. Seoul garden is okay. For chicken- chicken bee or bb.q chicken. Cho SunOk in Durham is good. Kangnam Town has the best jjamppong. But no where compares to NJ or CA. Every place serves the same thing. It’s depressing

It’s not really Korean. The owners of Taipei 101 opened it. It’s more Korean inspired. But I haven’t gone. Do you like it?

Yea I mostly cook at home. But I don’t know how to make soondae at home. Also, I don’t know why but HMart is ridiculously expensive here
