Sookae’s Kitchen

The best Korean food experience in NJ. This is not an ordinary side dish (or banchan) store that you would find in Palisades Park or Fort Lee. What you will find is top quality food that is available to be taken home right away. Awesome taste, top-quality ingredients, very comfortable after consumption, and clean presentation. Their catering blew our guests away. A fantastic blend of familiar and creative dishes. Even the familiar ones tasted different/better than elsewhere. Their Thanksgiving meal was a huge hit back in November (strongly recommend trying). If you ask owner for recommendation, she will go out of her way to explain everything. This store is located in Closter in northern New Jersey.

The best food experience ever! Every bite was a feast for the eyes, nose, and taste buds. The presentation was stunning, like a piece of art, and the flavors did not disappoint. It was as delicious as it was beautiful! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a truly memorable meal.

Everything there is excellent and homemade. You cannot ask for better home Korean cooking. I know it’s a little expensive, but that’s worth the quality you will be receiving. I promise. The braised short rib is incredible. The workers also have so much personality and are always very friendly.

You can truly taste the heart and soul this chef puts into every dish. This is, without a doubt, the best Korean food I’ve ever had. If you’re looking to try Korean cuisine for the first time, this is the place to go—prepare to be blown away. I highly recommend it. The sundubu here is the best I’ve ever tasted in my entire life! I also love the convenience of the grab and go. You legitimately have gourmet food ready to go for lunch or dinner in a pinch! Please come and give this place a try!!

I never write reviews, but after grabbing lunch here, I absolutely fell in love with the place. The owner sells ready to eat meals, kind of like bento boxes for quick lunches and dinners. Also there’s a bunch of soups, stock, and sauces that I’ll definitely be getting next time. Overall, this is a great place to stop by for some awesome Korean food.
