We were looking forward to trying this restaurant because I was craving Korean food and had heard good things about their lunch. We arrived shortly after opening and were among the first customers. The restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated, and the staff member who greeted us was friendly. We were given water and the regular menu, which did not include a lunch section, so we assumed lunch specials were no longer offered. After we ordered, however, several customers who arrived later were given tea and an additional menu that appeared to be a lunch menu. We also noticed that their banchan selection was different from what we received. I ordered bibimbap and paid an additional $12 to substitute the beef with galbi. The amount of galbi was quite small considering the extra charge. The food we received was tasty, and the service was friendly. It's possible that we arrived too early or that the person serving us was not handling the lunch service, so I don't want to make assumptions about why our experience differed from the customers who arrived later. However, the differences were noticeable and left us somewhat confused. Overall, the food was good, but the inconsistency in the menus, tea service, and banchan made the experience less satisfying than we had expected. read more

Great Korean traditional food. It tastes and looks excellent. I would like to recommend Korean food to everyone. read more

We came specifically for the tang soo yook and ganjang gejang. We were really impressed with how tasty they were. The crab marinade was REALLY yummy and the flesh was nice and jello like. Absolutely perfect. I wish rice was complementary because it's so glld to have extra rice with your ganjang gejang which can get salty. The tang soo yook was really tender and the dipping sauce was so tangy and a little tart. Overall a very satisfying meal. It was a great find on our drive and we'd love to come back again for their Korean bbq read more

An outstanding Korean Restaurant in the area. Korean cuisine can be best judged by the quality and variety of side dishes, ban chan, and Keo Ku does a super job with a wide array of side dishes. With that said, all of their dishes are well prepared and very authentic. Stews are also the hallmark of Korean cooking and their bean curd stews are truly delicious. In short, as a Korean, I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Resounding five stars. I went for lunch around 2pm (1/27/26). Parked in a lot to the side. Greeted warmly by two hosts and was immediately offered barley tea. Menu included several lunch specials and many familiar dishes. I went with pork shoulder. But first, banchan: this is a must for me, and Keo Ku shone. I was thrilled to see a full array of small plates, and they were great: bean sprouts, kimchi, black beans ... I was in nirvana. The main dish was superb, tasty and hot, served with a nice helping of rice, plus a glass noddle salad and a couple of fritters. I am not an expert, but I know what I like, and I love Korean food. For many years I lived in Queens (NYC) and was surrounded by a countless number of Korean restaurants; Keo Ku would fit right in; it is as good as any one of those I knew. The ambiance was relaxed and comfy, my hosts were friendly, and I completely enjoyed my meal. I will be back, and I highly recommend Keo Ku. read more

Huge space with a full bar and a gaming bar next door. Their house drinks are delicious! This family-run spot offers outstanding service. The bulgogi is amazing, kimchi zesty but not too spicy, and the ssamjang is to die for. All sides are made in-house and even available for purchase, along with a small selection of Asian snacks. Perfect for a fun dinner with friends -- I'll definitely be back! read more

so happy Keo Ku is still here! The food has always been authentic and delicious. I enjoy their tang soo yook here (although it wasnt available during our latest visit) and their bokkeum. The pork belly is so flavorful and not overly spicy. There is lots of seating too and parking is convenient. Place is able to accommodate both small and larger groups. Service is also timely and efficient. They've been here a long time and for good reason! the food is really still good. read more

I'm not Korean so maybe I can't judge. But I've had very very good Korean. This food is not it. Oily and tasteless. The chicken wings smelled like they were fried yesterday and microwaved for us. Super sad this didn't end up being what other people said it was. read more

Food was average and too much salty. They served burnt wings and didn't even bother to replace them when we complained about them. we left the wings without even ate and have to pay. Service was lousy they took half an hour to serve our food. Never ever will dine here again. read more

The other night, me and my co worker went out for our annual we made it through the holidays dinner. We.made Reservation for a Tuesday night a 6pm. It was empty when we arrived. They sat us. We ordered cocktails but apparently the bartender wasn't there yet so we got our drinks in the middle of dinner. They were ok. We de decided to skip the BBQ because we knew their dishes were authentic and we wanted to try that. We ordered: Cheesy corn - really good but you have to eat right away or else the cheese hardens. The restaurant was really cold and felt the cheese hardened faster because of that. The flavor of the corn was really good too! Spicy Creole gochujang wings - we didn't find it spicy at all but oh my the flavors were sooo good! Finger licking good! I would get those again. Yook hwe (wagyu beef tartare) - THIS WAS OUR FAVORITE, I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE BUT THE AMOUNT WE GOT AND THE WAY SHE MIXED IT WITH THE PEAR, EGG YOLK AND SAUCE... SUPERB! Jang uh dup bap - we love eel and this dish was amazing. This was our second favorite. We definitely want to go again to try more. I want to try the stews next. read more

This restaurant has been my family's favorite for many years due to its incredible food and wonderful service. The owner of Brian is always so accommodating and makes great recommendations around the large menu. The traditional Korean barbecue stuff is awesome accompanied by the BANCHAN -- but I find the real gems to be in the prepared foods. The budae jigae (kimchi stew with ramen, rice cakes, ham, hot dog, and beans) may not sound like it's amazing but let me tell you it may be one of my favorite foods in the world. Places this good are few and far between. Run, don't walk to go support this incredible small business. 10/10. read more

Authentic Korean food - really hard to find in parsippany! I've been coming here since childhood and it's always been so so good. My favorites are any of the jiggaes, seafood pancake, and of course Korean bbq. Service is great and the place is huge. I will always come back :) read more

We came here for the first time today and were blown away! The food was so fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The ban Chan is made in-house and was so so good. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and their menu does a great job of introducing Korean specialties (even if you're a newbie) We had the bibimbap in the hot stone bowl with bulgogi, the scallion pancake (crispy, yummy, so fresh) and the egg soufle. We're already planning our next visit! read more

Large restaurant with plenty of seating. Staff is very friendly and you are immediately offered tea or water. The menu has a wide variety of options to pick from. We have tried a variety of their stews and have never been disappointed, but because with their spicy dishes if you are not use to heat! Our favorite is the Oxtail soup, seafood pancake, and Korean bbq. We also love the assorted variety of ban chain offered. Go support this incredible restaurant. read more

Great food, and the staff was so kind and accommodating with the kids. We'll definitely be back. The kimchi was delicious.

Excellent Korean Cuisine BBQ in New Jersey area. If you are looking for Korean authentic food, then you really need to check out their beef ribs with good quality. They have the best Jeongols, especially the seafood hotpot a variety of mixed seafood, vegetables, udon noddle simmered into seafood broth. I really love their spicy broth (soup) They have quick and effective service, they cook the meats for you!!! My favorite part is they have validity choose of the side (up to 10) OMG, I love them. However, they also have Korean snacks and delicatessen you can take home. It's looks like tiny "Hmart" read more

I came here for lunch with my family. Their food is really authentic and delicious. The side dishes are abundant and super fresh. We ordered BBQ with one of their seafood spicy tofu soups. My mom loved their kimchi so much that she purchased a container of it. Their service could be a bit better though. Their staff were grumpy, but still took care of us. So overall, the experience was decent and loved the food. read more

Keo Ku Restaurant - Galbi Tang Lunch - Korean Near Me - Parsippany, New Jersey

I've passed by this numerous times, but have never tried it. There aren't many korean restaurants in the area, so was pleasantly surprised that this existed and the food tasted good! I love the culture of eating banchan and half the time I go to a korean restaurant to eat those, the fish cakes and kimchi here were very good! This was the most banchan I had ever had at a korean restaurant, I believe there were 6 dishes given for our group of 5. We mostly got soup and rice dishes like bibimap and bu dae jigae, but the tonkatsu that my husband got was just alright. It was crispy, but not as juicy or tender as you would hope. Prices are fair and staff is super nice and attentive, so definitely will come here again but will pass on the tonkatsu next time. read more

Found my new favorite korean restaurant...in Parsippany of all places! Pajeon- really good which I wasnt expecting for a "pancake"...but trust me! Kind of tasted like an omelette actually. Chicken wings- love me some double friend korean wings always! Both the soy garlic and spicy ones are great. they recommend the soy garlic, apparently the most popular. Mandu- meat steamed dumplings..nothing spectacular like the rest of the apps we got, but they were still decent nonetheless. Yaki Udon noodles- the BEST thing we ordered! I got the spicy chicken, man was it packed with flavor and sauce! So good! Bulgogi korean bbq- also another hit! The beef was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. Personally, I dont like kimchi so all the side dishes didnt matter to me. Glad it came with sticky rice though! On top of the delicious food, the service is spectacular! it's family owned. the male owner kept coming to our table to check in on us and gave us great recs off the menu. The female owner also stopped by a couple times to make sure we were tended to like we were someone important. And the waitresses kept coming by to make sure our bulgogi was cooking right. Loved that. I think they also run the bar next door called Recess which I go to often and have ordered here to eat there! Return? Definitely, want to try some of their cocktails next! Recommend? Yes! read more

I came here with my parents for dinner. The food was good. We ordered the Bulgogi and Sae Woo (jumbo shrimp) . We ordered from the A La Carte menu. It said that each was for one person but there was enough of each item for two. Both were seasoned perfectly. Our hostess cooked in front of us and she did it to perfection. The staff was very friendly and the service was great. They made sure we had everything we needed. I also like the atmosphere of the restaurant. The place is kept clean and it's not too loud. I will definitely come back here. read more

When you get a hankering for Korean, make your way to Keo Ku. Beautiful restaurant with authentic dishes all made with the freshest ingredients. For apps we had the extra crispy Pajeon, (Korean style fried pancake), the steamed beef Mandu, (housemade dumplings), and the Gaeran Jjim (steamed egg souffle). For our main we had to go for the Galbi, Saeng Galbi, Chadol Baigi Gui and the Anchangsal Skirt Steak, all to be prepared at the table. What a treat! Meat was so tender and delicious! We were full, but we couldn't pass up the homemade Sweet Rice & Pine Nut Panna Cotta and the Chocolate Pine Nut Panna Cotta. They are open for lunch and have many more dishes , check the menu. A wonderful place to enjoy Korean cuisine. read more

The BEST spot around. We come here often and they always take great care of us and the food is always incredible.

We enjoyed our dinner here! Service was prompt and friendly. And it was one of the best Korean dinners we've ever had. The banchans were adequate and main dishes were excellent! I'd be here every week if I live within the area. Reasonable price and good portions. If you like Korean cuisine, this place delivers. read more

Super rude manager! My wife doesn't make it two steps in with an iced tea, and he abruptly barrs us from entering because of a new policy on BYOB: "The restaurant doesn't want to be blamed if "the tea gets you sick". He's loud, aggressive, and like . . . It's an iced tea. It's not . . . Ebola. Meanwhile, new sign is up at the front, and they now charge 15 dollars for BYOB for beer or wine. Is it that they want customer not to get sick or they want 15 bucks? We used to support businesses like this one, but super freaking rude makes food taste bad, right?

After hearing about the insane wait at another bbq restaurant nearby, myself and 3 friends decided to stop here for dinner. We were so happy we did! We had a great meal and was treated to having Brian (the manager, maybe owner) serve us himself! He was super accommodating and explained all the fun ways to put the food together in a way we haven't before. Definitely recommend stopping in if you have the opportunity! read more

Excellent authentic Korean cuisine. Great for dining in with good service, or takeout if you are in a rush. The best not complaint is that the online menu interface is a bit buggy at times. read more

Still not completely sure how I felt about our dining experience here so I'm rounding up, giving them the benefit of the doubt. Seems more Asian fusion if you ask me, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I wish it was a little clearer earlier on. They do have traditional Korean style dishes, casseroles, platters, etc. but also others with a twist. Service was decent but a little on the slower side. I ordered the Eel Dup Bap (rice bowl) which typically comes with strips or a whole piece. But instead it came out in chewy chunks... would not recommend. Everything else was fine, including the seafood pancake that we shared. read more

Very nice people! I met I think the owner and he was very considerate and gave good recommendations. I could tell he cares about his establishment. Restaurant is kept clean. I enjoyed the Korean music playing. Interior could use a little updating (perhaps better lighting), but otherwise has some cute charm to it. I liked the water display when you first walk in. The kimchi was very tasty. If the kimchi is good, then I have high hopes for the food being good - which it was. My boo dae jjigae was very good. I asked for cheese on top which made it extra delicious. Rice was served on the side. My husband's bibimbap came out sizzling. Pork was super good! Would come back here again. Enjoyable traditional Korean food. read more

Friendly staff and fresh food! We've been going here for years and the service and food has been consistently amazing.

It's finally summertime and if you're a lover of Korean food that means it's Bibim Naengmyeon season! If you're not familiar with this dish it's something you owe it to yourself to try, especially on a hot day. Bibim Naengmyeon is served in a cold metal bowl. It's made with buckwheat noodles that are slippery and have a wonderful chewy consistency. The noodles are nestled in an icy cold beef broth made especially for this dish. On top of the noodles is sliced Asian pear, radish, cucumber, sliced beef brisket and a cold hard boiled egg. Now comes the fun part. "Bibim" means mixed and "Naengmyeon" means cold noodles. So, what do you mix it with? Spicy red pepper sauce of course! The sauce comes in a bowl on the side, so add as much spice as you like. Pour it in and mix it all up. You also get vinegar and hot mustard, which you can add as well. This is my favorite Korean dish and Keo Ku makes one of the best versions I've had (all Korean restaurants have their own broth and sauce recipes). Keo Ku also makes some of the best banchan around, so you get that with your meal too. The selection always changes, but today I was served pickled beets, seasoned sprouts, spicy radish kimchi, sweet and vinegary cucumbers, Korean noodle salad, and of course, their incredible kimchi. This is all made in-house. But that's not all, you also get a bowl of cold, wonderfully flavorful soup too. All of this is included in the price, and if you like any particular banchan, feel free to ask for seconds. If you like the sound of this, but you're not into spicy foods, they also offer a non-spicy version called Mul Naengmyeon, which is basically the same thing without the spicy sauce, but trust me, go with the spicy! Now remember, this is a seasonal dish, so don't wait too long or it will be gone. Get to Keo Ku and beat the heat with some cold spicy noodles. You won't regret it! read more

Very solid place for Korean food. They have the grill so you can make your own Korean BBQ. Their bonchon is also very solid and they give you a large variety and a good amount of it. Their kimchi is also very very good! I had the bimibap and it was extremely solid. Their scallion pancake was exactly what you would want. I would recommend this place as it has a large variety and is bound to have something that everyone will enjoy. read more
