    D-4 Chicken Dumplings
    Katie R.

    Service was very friendly and fast. I ordered the steamed chicken dumplings a la carte. There's plenty of different varieties like beef, pork, broccoli and shrimp, and vegetable as well as frozen handmade dumplings available for purchase. This is not somewhere to sit and eat, it's for pick up or taking home frozen dumplings from their selection. I will definitely come back for some to keep and freeze.

    My family has always gotten our frozen dumplings from this spot. 25+ years later and as an adult, I still come here to buy my dumplings. Don't let the frozen aspect scare you. The dumplings are cooked and then frozen. Like the name suggests, these truly are the best dumplings i've ever had. So much so that whenever I go out to eat at korean restaurants, I don't order dumplings because they just don't ever compare to these. What makes these dumplings so great is the taste of the dumplings and the excellent ratio of wrapper to filling. I have tried other dumpling spots like this one, but have found they either try to stuff too much filling in, or have too much wrapper. Enjoy this place, cheers!

    It really IS the best dumplings (and Korean wings). I came here on a whim, who doesn't like the best of anything? Oh my god. I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. It truly is the best. So flavorful not too onion forward (what I feel a lot of places do now!). There's no over powering flavors. They're just perfectly made. DO NOT SLEEP on their ginger sauce (I'm not a ginger person but I bought a whole jar because it's my favorite sauce ever now). You can get in steamed or fried. I like to do the chicken steamed, the beef or shrimp and broccoli fried, and the sweet and spicy wings. (But I've tried all and everything is great). I always order to go but I'm telling you eat the wings in the car so they don't get soggy! CRISPIEST WINGS EVER even when I dip it in extra sauce. It's truly out of this world. Hot tip you can also get frozen bags to go! (Not all flavors though).

    Great dumplings. Not sure if it's the best, but 50 dumplings for $45 is the best deal for sure. Great service. Limited parking available.

    Dumpling place in Englewood. We haven't had the pleasure of picking up lunch or pre-cooked food, but always have purchased the frozen dumplings or catered fried dumpling platter or certain types of Korean dishes. Shrimp - $16.50 Kimchi - $14.50 They do have other types - vegetable, pork, etc. Yes, the price is higher than store bought ones, but does not mean these dumplings are MUCH better though. They are just regular (personal opinion). They always ask for "cash" !!! Insist on it even if I tell them I don't have enough cash !!!! They don't accept American Express.

    The best dumplings are made here! Authentic and fresh, handmade with love. Can do takeout or buy frozen dumplings for home. Many varieties including vegetarian options. Don't forget the sauce!

    The name of the restaurant speaks for itself :) It's a tradition in my family to get a Best Dumplings platter every New Year's Eve, and they never disappoint. They even sell frozen dumplings which are just as good if you prepare them the right way. I wish they still made sushi platters, but nonetheless, this place is a hidden gem. Also, the customer service is great, too. Highly recommend!

    This is a nice little hidden gem! altho they are called best dumplings and have mostly dumplings they do have california rolls and i believe a veggie roll. They also have other types of soups, noodle dishes and other basic korean dishes. The shrimp dumplings i got were pretty frickin good. for $8 i got 12, steamed lil nuggets of delish-ish-ness. However, they were small. I was hoping they would be a bit bigger, and have more filling but the flavour was good. as i opened the lid to them i got SMACKED in the face with a shrimp smell. I was not impressed with the ginger sauce, I've had better from my local chinese place. It was a nice switch up from some lame soy sauce tho. I wish it were a little thicker also...hmm story of my life. Overall, id deff come back here. I wanna try the veggie dumplings and the california combo. $75 cent cans of soda, god damn i feel like I'm in the 90s. PS theres only two tables, one right by the door with like 3 seats and another by the register. The asian ladies were sitting at that one so i had to sit by the door and be cold a little. Also, the plus is ...if you're a big fan..you can take home these little nuggets, $14 to $18 big bag of them to take home...

    Finally got to try this place I heard so much about on a Christmas day with wife because it was…read morefrigid and we wanted a warm bowl of Korean "tang"(soup). Finding parking is quite challenging given the location on a busy commercial street, so make sure you can come earlier than meal time to have better luck. They have waiting seats OUTSIDE so yeah I suppose it's quite popular at times. 1. ATMOSPHERE (3/5) - This location is small and it's pretty straightforward place. But I still found it cozy, with decent amount of seating (I think it can handle 15-20 max) and little details like wall with wood ledges and coat hangers were a nice touch. Seating was comfortable, though we tied our down parkas around our waist as another party had hung theirs on our side of coat hangers. 2. FOOD (4/5) - We dove right in to try their famous gejang (~Korean raw crab "ceviche") and ordered two of their namesake gookbap (rice with soup) to see how they are. Here's how it went down. - Gejang (App, $20, 2/5) - I had a hunch that on a holiday perhaps I should not order this, but my craving for succulent crab flesh be damned, I went for it and unfortunately, the meat was not well-marinated as I had feared. Gejang is a dish that has to sit in the complex soy-based pickling liquid for some time... and if restaurant is too busy churning them out or if it's slow season they won't do this properly. It not only wasn't fully marinated, I think the marinade was off because the spiciness was way out of balance and was overpowering. Perhaps knowing that it didn't have enough time to marinade the kitchen put extra diced jalapenos to compensate? Because that's exactly what it tasted like - you can't fool me. I tried to salvage the dish by asking a confused-looking girl server for some sugar, but yeah, can't un-do the overpowered marinade with sprinkling of sugar. This was really unfortunate as I was looking forward to a good bite. - Ahjae Gookbap (Main, $18, 5/5) - Thankfully, their namesake gookbap was spot-on to salvage our dining. Generous slabs of succulent beef on the bone and off the bone was swimming in a hearty beef/bone broth that tasted clean and focused. Portion was good, and can I say their banchan of fish cake moochim & unfermented kimchi & ggakdugi(radish kimchi) simply ROCKS? That was some serious deliciousness and dare I say value at $18 at a day and age where hamburger costs over $10! You win at life by ordering this! 3. SERVICE (4/5) - Our server girl was attentive and food came out early on though later it was a bit hard to get her attention promptly. We found ourselves putting hands in the air, and wavin' like we don't care... for a little while. They provide gloves & metal bin for gejang which was a nice touch for people to keep their fingers clean. One thing I'd like to mention: Plastic cup they served water in was all chipped on the rim so we instead went and got water from their hot & cold water dispenser which had metal cups (as many korean restaurants do). I'd suggest them to replace all these old plastic cups with metal ones for health reasons. Overall, we were satisfied with our meal. I'd chock up the gejang mishap to it being a holiday. I hope chef was just off with the marinade that day because I am a certified gejang pro(I catch and make my own) and that balance ain't it. But I will give it another try during warmer month and we'll definitely be back to try sooyook moochim, oyster jeon & other great soup offerings.

    2nd time coming here. Small restaurant with a few tables. Thankfully when we came (Saturday…read moreevening), there was one table available and it was the same table as last time! 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.

Next they brought soup and the fried rice with an egg on top. I'm not sure if this the correct way to eat it, I mixed the rice, egg and added plenty of kimchi.

The restaurant itself has such a cozy, homey vibe - very much a cute grandma and grandpa type of spot that immediately makes you feel warm and fuzzy like at your grandparents. One thing I absolutely loved: they give you an entire pot of kimchi with your order. Not just a few pieces on a small dish, but a whole pot. I wish it was a bit more fermented for my personal taste, but I really appreciate not having to keep asking for refills like at other places. The fried dumplings are a must order! The filling was super juicy and packed with flavor, honestly one of the highlights of the meal. We also ordered the classic yukgaejang kalguksu and the ox bone soup, and both were incredibly flavorful. The kalguksu noodles had that perfect chewy texture and paired so well with the rich, spicy yukgaejang broth. Everything felt comforting, like a warm homemade meal straight out of a grandma's kitchen.

This isn't just another all-you-can-eat spot--it's a full, well-executed Korean BBQ and hot pot experience done right. First, the food quality is outstanding. The meats come out fresh, well-cut, and vibrant, especially the thin-sliced beef which cooks perfectly in seconds. Nothing looks frozen, dull, or rushed. The hot pot broth is rich and flavorful, not watered down, and pairs perfectly with noodles, seafood, and vegetables. Everything--from bok choy and bean sprouts to seafood like octopus--tastes clean and intentional. What really sets this place apart is the interactive experience. Cooking at the table is smooth and efficient, the equipment works properly (which matters more than people think), and nothing feels chaotic or disorganized. You're not waiting forever for refills or chasing staff down--service is attentive, fast, and professional. The atmosphere is fun but polished. Modern decor, great lighting, and even small touches like the claw machine near the entrance make it feel lively without being overwhelming. It's perfect for dates, groups, or even just treating yourself to a serious meal. Value-wise? Completely worth it. You get premium ingredients, variety, and an experience that justifies the price. This is the kind of place you leave full, satisfied, and already planning your next visit. Bottom line: KPOT Englewood sets the standard for Korean BBQ and hot pot in North Jersey. If you're debating where to go--stop debating and come here. Highly recommended.
