29 Best Korean Restaurants near Montclair

“Was going thru Grubhub for wings and came across this place. I said how bad can it be. Wow I was surprised and disappointed. Disappointed that they didn’t have popcorn chicken but substituted for wings. They were amazing .not greasy at all. Very impressed. Will definitely go again. Tried the potato dog as well … very interesting, very good…“

“Nothing… but good things to say about this place. Seriously. Not only was our food vivacious, extraordinary, and a religious experience for the palate — our server, Sam, was nothing but helpful and attentive throughout our entire meal. He was incredibly inviting and warm (this guy should do stand up) and our experience would not have been the same without him. Now for the food. The flavors… where do I even begin? Rich. Luxurious. Multi-faceted. Whether it’s a poke bowl or a shrimp tempura roll you are guaranteed a transformative experience. When eating here, be ready for excellence. No joke. 11/10 will be coming back. Additionally, the atmosphere in this niche underground Montclair spot was nothing short of perfection. Both the songs and the beautiful views of the raw bar were essential to our wonderful experience. Till next time Sushi Koshi.“

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

“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.“

“the food was fantastic. the staff was super nice and friendly“

“Went here with my family, enjoyable atmosphere, amazing decorating with many cute, funny decorations. Amazing quality of food and taste, many good choices in menu foods, drinks and other items. Good tip for your next visit: Get one of their special bobas, they are amazing in both taste and come with packages with cute faces!“

“I loved the food and service here. Very delicious.“

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

“Best ramen I had so far, little spot, a lot of options to choose from breakfast to different ramen and juices. Was not disappointed I loved my ramen and I really can’t wait to go back and choose something else was very hot like I like it. Do not sleep on this place.“

“The Best place!! The best meatS and seafood“

“The workers were incredibly friendly. Great personalities. The place is very clean. And the food was very good. Flavorful chicken. The sides are a lot of fried foods too, but those were still very good. Nothing felt overly seasoned either, so you can enjoy eat thing you get without what you ate before overpowering your taste buds.“

“My wife and I enjoy Korean food and have tried a lot of places around Northern Jersey. This spot is close to home, so we figured we’d give it a shot. It ended up being better than expected. The food was solid—flavorful, though a little heavy on the sauce. Still hit the spot. Parking isn’t great, but that’s pretty much the norm around here. You order on a big touchscreen, and the food comes out pretty quick. Not a ton of seating since it’s more of a takeout joint, but it gets the job done.“

“This place is a neighborhood gem for Korean food. Their food is actually very tasty and fresh. Although their Korean BBQ meats are all pretty good, I think they make an exceptionally good kalbi (marinated short ribs) if you're in the mood for grilling at the table. However, their best dish is Yook Gae Jang - a spicy beef broth with shredded brisket meat and some vegetables. It's so hearty and delicious! Perfect to warm up the soul during the colder months! Not only is it their best dish, it is the best Yook Gae Jang in all of Bergen County imo! Anyway, you can't go wrong with any of their food choices here. All fresh and quite tasty.

Parking lot is pretty big, and the restaurant is clean but dated. And there is a cold draft in some areas of the restaurant because of all the vents that suck out the smoke. Service is fast and attentive, but the language barrier limits an enhanced service experience. But I've always found their service to be just good enough for me. And prices are fair and they give you lots of side dishes/appetizers with your meal. Oh, and ask for hot tea and they will give you a cup of Korean corn/barley tea which you'll enjoy! Good job Seoul Galbi!“

“Went to this location to get my Korean fried chicken and cheese balls yesterday everything was so good! The chicken was super crispy and flavorful, and the cheese balls were perfectly gooey inside. The staff were friendly too, and the service was quick. Definitely coming back again!“

“Such a great and unique food spot! Order a couple different dogs and a side. All were top notch and the staff was super friendly!“

“If you’re walking around American Dream and want something fun, over-the-top, and sweet, this place is definitely worth a stop.

My absolute favorite was the 🍩 Dubai Chocolate Donut. Honestly one of the best sweets I’ve had in a long time. The outside was perfectly crispy with a hardened chocolate shell, and when you cut into it you get that crunchy kanafeh filling inside. The mix of textures made it so satisfying. If you come here, this is a must order.

The 🍪 Dubai Chocolate Chewy Cookie was also really good, but I liked the donut way more. It was soft, chocolatey, and definitely still worth trying if you’re a cookie person.

For something savory, the 🌭 Hot Cheetos Corn Dog was such a fun twist on a classic. It was super cheesy with a great cheese pull and the Hot Cheetos coating added that crunchy, spicy kick.

The 🍌 Nutella Banana Donut was another solid pick. It had a really good banana to Nutella ratio so neither flavor overpowered the other.

For drinks, the 🧋 Brown Sugar Bubble Tea was tasty and pretty standard, and the 🍋 Lemonade Refresher was light and refreshing.

Overall, a really fun snack stop if you’re at American Dream. But seriously… go for the Dubai Chocolate Donut. It completely steals the show. 🍩✨“

“Great place to eat …right next to the New Jersey transit“

“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.“

“By far one of the best Korean Japanese restaurants. I’ve been ordering from Sea Shai since 2021/22 & the consistency of the food and customer service is always amazing! The flavor of the food is spectacular. I travel to Sea Shai to pick up my order because it is several neighborhoods away, totally worth the drive. The food is priced fairly for the portion and flavors you are receiving. Highly recommend trying this restaurant out. I cannot get enough of the Bulgogi with white rice platter, A M A Z I N G!

Kid-friendliness: Friendly environment, has big tables available for families who want to dine in.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, no issues getting in or out the restaurant“

“From the start from when we first walked in, the place smelled heavenly of fried chicken. The restaurant was clean and had no odor except the delicious smell of fried chicken. We were there at 5:30. The service was friendly and my husband and I were even told about the plastic glove that the napkins and fork were wrapped in when the guy behind the counter handed us our food. That glove came in handy when we ate our wings. We ordered sweet & spicy and BBQ. The coating was crispy and delish. Just how I like my wings. Not over sauced and hot! Definitely going back!!“

“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!“

“I just moved a block away and decided to try this place out since it's so close. The first experience was pretty good. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi Bowl and it was a lot more than I thought I would get. So that makes the price even better than what I thought it was. I definitely recommend this place I would go back and possibly order for takeout often since it's on my way home.“

“What a concept - Taqueria = Taco Korea!

Clean, well lit, open environment, offering plenty of seating and some fun selfie backgrounds.

The service was respectful and kind.

We ordered tacos (of course). Nick ordered the bulgogi tacos and I had a tofu taco and a bistec taco. Everything we had was exceptional. They also provide an amazing green salsa, but to be honest the tacos really don’t need it, they have so much flavor! We are so glad we gave this place a try and recommend you do too!“

“good food but give urself about a half hour tops when ordering“

“Dorothy is the best…. Great tasting chicken… get the shrimp dumplings…“

“Located in Court A Level 1 of American Dream mall, this H Mart is the cleanest and prettiest among the ones around the area. It is not as big as some of the other individual store locations, aisles and checkout lanes are thinner. The store is open all 365 days of the year.

They still got most of inventory of Korean groceries, vegetables, fruits, snacks, candies, kitchenware, small toys and all other things we see find usually in H Marts. They have the meat and seafood stations as well. The food court is separate, right in front of the entrance of store.

Lots of associates walk around the store to keep it clean and tidy. I went in to buy couple of drinks from the store. There were multiple checkout lanes open. Didn’t have to wait too long, was quick and easy.“

“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...“
