Hama Korean Cuisine — Restaurant in Ridgewood

Korean food is taking over Bergen county! Hot pots and bibimaps for everyone! If you are unfamiliar, tofu house would be a great Segway into Korean fare. They offer much more than tofu, don't let the name fool you. Bulgogi (delicious marinated beef).can be added into stir fry, hot pot (soup) or bibimap (rice dish with vegetables and sauce).
