14 Best Korean Restaurants near East Hanover

“Good place to get a quick bite of authentic Korean food. Tofu is super tender and the soup is very flavorful. You can choose the spicy level, and medium seems to work well for me. The soups come with rice. Love the beef soup. But their side dishes/appetizers are really lacking compared to other korean restaurants. services are slow.“

“Anáis is a great server I recommend her she is the best“

“First timer here and was awesome. Walked in to a clean cozy restaurant plenty of seating. Ordered me some boneless wings with white snow (sweet Parmesan cheese from what I’m told) hot and fresh. Fries were cooked just right. Ordered a refresher bubble tea (green tea strawberry flavoring and strawberry ) ordered some boned wings as well. All cooked to perfection. Service was fast. Very clean as well. DEFINITELY coming back….. almost forgot the beef dumplings… awesome !!!!“

“Several good vegan options here. The nice staff here will provide a special menu with all vegans items circled if you ask.

Their food is excellent. I really enjoy their ramen. Don't skip the vegetable dumpling and scallion pancake appetizers.“

“This was my second time at Eli’s Eatery, and once again, they did not disappoint! It’s tucked away in a quieter area of NJ with not much around, but that just adds to the charm. Plus there is always plenty of parking, which is a huge plus.

I ordered a little bit of everything:
• Fried Dumplings (Beef)
• Pork Buns
• Pork Belly
• String Beans
• Chicken Fried Rice (Spicy)
• Seafood Soft Tofu Soup (with rice, broccoli, and kimchi)
• Chicken Katsu

The portions were generous, and the flavors were there. I especially loved the spicy chicken fried rice, perfect amount of heat (but i tend to like things on the spicy side). The seafood soft tofu soup was rich and comforting, and I really appreciated the side of kimchi. The pork buns, katsu, and the string beans are my favorite.

The only item I didn’t love were the dumplings, but everything else more than made up for it.

If you're looking for authentic Korean food with great portions and quick service in a quiet spot, Eli’s Eatery is definitely worth the trip. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“Food is always great! The owners are terrific!! We LOVE this place!!“

“We attended WOODAM for my daughter's birthday with a few of her friends. This was the first time for all of us and we absolutely LOVED this experience. The food is delectable and what made the most wonderful impression with me was the quality of their service. Our waitress was absolutely attentive and the entire staff was friendly beyond measure when it came to storing the cake and putting on birthday music overhead. My 13-year old appreciated the background music as well as the entertainment shown on the full-sized TV in back. The interior and bathrooms were impeccable and I could go on and on with praises for this place. Something on the menu for everyone. We will definitely be revisiting and making this part of our routine.“

“Great food, great service! Amazing atmosphere! I felt like I was back in Korea. A lot of Banchan!“

“So good!!!!!!!!! Must try! My favorite place in town!“

“Gives kenko a run for its money. Definitely recommend this place for take out sushi.“

“Stopped in for lunch with my wife the other day, our first time here and I'm so happy we came. The food food delicious, top notch sushi, fresh and delicious. The Goyza dumplings probably the best I've ever had, and that Toro just melted in your mouth. We found our sushi spot in the area! Can't wait to come back and try more dishes.“

“Food, service and cleanliness are amazing. It was my first time here and all the staff were friendly and helpful. I had some trouble ordering since it was my first time but the cashier was very friendly and took his time to help me with my order. I will always recommend this place. The chicken was crispy and incredibly fresh. I have tried other Korean chicken places but this was the best I have ever had. Thank you so much Wayne Don Chicken.“

“Incredible food every time! My family and I are obsessed. 10/10 would recommend! Joshua cooks a wide variety of cuisines and works with our dietary restrictions. He has a real passion for food that comes through in every dish. Always delicious with great service too. Also, ask about his hot sauces!“

“The fried chicken was very tasty. Nice crunch on the skin as the sauce carmelizes with an excellent flavor. The neat stays moist and has absorbed some of the flavor from the sauce. it's no wonder that this is what they are famous for... The pork buns consist of a steamed rice flour bun with fried pork belly pieces with cucumber and Asian relish with a nice little bit of heat. The fresh veggies provide a nice balance to the oily pork belly. However they need more pork belly. Overall definitely on the list to go back...“
