50 Best Korean Restaurants near Nutley

“Finally tried this place after driving by all the time. It was great! We enjoyed everything we ordered, and they included an extra dish on the house which was really nice. We got takeout and it was ready quickly. The inside of the place is really nice too, I would definitely plan to eat in next time.“

“Saw on Grubhub so I said let’s give it a try. Very surprising food was great. Hot and fresh. I’m very picky when it comes down to chicken. Even tho was boneless chicken it was not greasy at all. Cooked just right. Hoping to visit in person soon. See ya soon…….“

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

“I have been coming to Ondo since their soft opening and have always had a great experience. Their food is consistently excellent, and they also have some of the best cocktails.

I recently tried their tasting menu and was pleasantly impressed by the quality, creativity, and flavors of each course.

The Korean melon konguksu was the highlight of the meal for me. It was unique yet still felt authentic. The gochujang octopus romesco was also absolutely delicious!

Their desserts are great too. I especially love the injeolmi tart. It has the perfect balance of sweetness!“

“Okay so I do think this is a chicken and burger joint now combined together on the outside of the building. I really didn't notice the time for the chicken place. It was any small corner lit up attached to a burger place. With that said I am not mad at it as I ordered the bulgogi burger which was so good. Very soft and flavorful and I also ordered a order of 10-piece wings. I split it between soy, garlic and sweet and spicy. Now for me I am a Korean chicken lover and I just did it fully get the full experience of Korean Chicken meaning that in every bite it is very crunchy and it is packed with the sauce flavor on top for me. I did not get that full effect and that's really why. I love Korean f and wings that are usually double fried so they get a very nice crunch and the sauce is usually nicely styled on now. There was something wrong with the sauce but I would have liked to have a little bit more of it as well as more of a crunch. I would definitely come back here. I did notice that the burger place and the chicken plays. I have menus but a little bit different. I did order from Uber eats so I didn't really notice that at the time until I really checked out your iron. They do have the tablet where you can order from as soon as you get there. That has Uber just did for both places. However I was very happy with the wings. I got 10 pieces which I think you can order. I only ordered through the bloomberger site and they were nice sizes.“

“food, place and friendly staff“

“Amazing Korean food and an even better experience! The owners are wonderful and always make you feel welcome. Even when they’re busy, they take the time to make sure everything is going well and that you’re taken care of. I can really tell they care about their customers and the food they serve. This is definitely my favorite Korean restaurants, and I always recommend it!“

“Great food. excellent service. Will definitely go back.“

“Our server Ana was very attentive, sweet, and welcoming! Whenever we would need help/assistance, she and other staff would come right away or even without us asking! The restaurant also has many options and our family had a very enjoyable experience here, definitely will come back!“

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

“Ms Sophie always welcome you with a smile. She make sure you’re OK. I see her clean the tables as soon as the people leave the place is spotless. You can always tell when you go to in any restaurant bathroom that tells it all. I will go back there again and again it’s worth the price“

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

“Ordered via GrubHub for a late Friday night dinner when the sushi craving hit. I ordered a tuna bowl, and hubby had a salmon bowl. All of the sushi bar bowls come with edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad, kani salad, regular salad (in this case, it was arugula), and avocado. The fish came in huge chunks, lightly marinaded, and tasted fresh. No complaints. I’d order again and try some actual rolls next time. I saw on their menu a pretty good deal for lunch - $12.50 for three regular rolls, so I’ll have to check that out.“

“Fantastic, such a convenient place with great late night hours!“

“The food here was great. We added this as a random stop on our way home and it did not disappoint. The dumplings were so perfectly crispy. We ordered several different specialty rolls and they food came out so quickly. It's nothing special on the inside but a lot of the best places aren't! Would definitely come back again if we pass along the way.“

“Totally a hidden Korean spot for their street food and mochi donuts! Limited seats so they majorly do delivery.
(The owner said they r famous for their Korean-style fried chicken, definitely visit again for that.)

?❤️‍??Donut was so chewy, soft, and flavored! I love my injeolmin flavor which was powdered soybean. Gentle taste, not too sweet. Highly recommended✨

❤️✨Original corn dog was totally delicious too. I got half mozzarella half hot dog to try both, the outside bread was chewy, crispy, melted with cheese part. Thus I preferred mozzarella part? crazy good.“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“Food: I ordered take-out and the food was great. Fried chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside. The sauce was not overly salty and super flavorful. The beef rice bowl has decent portion with enough spicy sauce for me to add more veggies at home.

Service: they called me to confirm what sauce I wanted as I forgot to select it on the app. The staff at front desk was super nice and polite.

Vibe: It was not peak hours when I went. The environment was nice and clean. When I was waiting in the store, the music was not super loud which I appreciated.

Updated: I went again today and try their rice cake dish. Super yummy 🤤“

“If you're looking for an amazing Korean wings, look no further! This place has nailed it. The chicken itself was incredibly fresh, with a perfectly tender inside and a satisfyingly crispy outside. They were generous with the sauce, ensuring every bite was flavorful and delicious. I also appreciated the small touches, like providing free gloves to keep my hands clean – a sign they really care about the customer experience. The presentation of the wings was also top-notch, making it visually appealing as well as delicious. To top it all off, Han was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“Might have found my new favorite sushi spot! Sushi was fresh, flavorful, and there was a great variety on the menu. It was also a beautiful summer day, so sitting outside and enjoying the vibes with some great food made it even better.

10/10 would recommend. Definitely coming back!“

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

“I’ve been coming to Sushi Story since the day it opened, and it continues to impress every single time. The first thing that stood out to me was the service—warm, immediate, and sincere. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted and made to feel welcome. The waitresses are consistently polite, attentive, and always carry a genuine smile. In particular, the waitress with the slicked-back hair has a way of elevating every visit; she’s made several special occasions truly memorable. The restaurant is almost always busy, and for good reason. Because seating can be difficult to secure, I strongly recommend making an RSVP ahead of time. Even with the constant flow of guests, the experience never feels rushed. The master sushi chef is actively engaged with diners, adding an extra touch of authenticity and hospitality to the meal. As for the food—exceptional. The salmon and tuna are always fresh, vibrant, and prepared perfectly. It’s easily one of the best places to enjoy a great evening out with family or friends. And don’t forget: it’s BYOB, so feel free to bring your favorite bottle of wine. Sushi Story is truly a gem, and I look forward to visiting again very soon.“

“I recently moved to the area and Ive been on the hunt for the best food in the area - one of which was finding my new go to korean fried chicken place. This place did not disappoint and the high reviews left here are worth the hype. Ordered the spicy soy garlic + fries combo and it was deeeelicious. Fresh, hot, with the perfect amount of spice and the wings are bigger than what you'd get at a chain fried chicken restaurant. I also upgraded my fries to the truffle parmesean - truffle isnt as outstanding of a flavor but the parm was pretty good. The service is also so nice! Ill definitely be back to try their other food~“

“I love Bb.q chicken with all my heart. This is one of the best fried chicken places I ever tried. The chicken is ver juicy and fresh. I personally love the secret sauce bone- in wings but my friends like the honey garlic wings better. Give this place a try!!!“

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

“Just happen to stumble upon this place while passing by and I was amazed how good the chicken was. It was very tender, juicy, and flavorful. Didn’t expect this from this neighborhood. I thought I was in Korea. The raddish was so authentic. The service is also amazing. Very nice and attentive to my needs! Definitely coming back all the way from New York.“

“Best fried chicken ever! It’s unbelievably crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Please never change your recipe or your standards!!

We thought the only Korean fried chicken options around were the big chains, but then we discovered Don—yay! The chicken is on another level, and we’re so happy to have found you. We’ll definitely be back for more!“

“I had a chance to stop by this location while I was in the area, and it was my first time here, as I usually stick to the Fort Lee location. I was happy to find that the quality is just as excellent and consistent.
The tonkatsu tasted similar to what I always get, delivering that great flavor and crunch that I've come to expect from them. If you're already a fan of their other spots, you can trust that this one maintains the high standard. Highly recommended!“

“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…“

“During my visits, I experience good customer service; employees are kind. This establishment, in my experience, more frequently than not, has a tasty seltzer water. Yet, not finding the seltzer water available on a most recent visit, I decide on Beet & Carrot juice. The drink is smooth, somewhat sweet though not sharply sweet. The establishment is chill, like a sit and read a physical newspaper joint before the train comes fusing with a grab-and-go pop in for a moment chill type cafe. The establishment seems to have minimal seating for about four though plenty of standing room. The establishment accepts different forms of payment.“

“highly rec ordering from this korean restaurant as not only the food is delicious, but also service. their galbitang was the highlight for us!

sidenote: doordash made a mistake on a promo deal though they were able to honor it anyways, thank you and planning to order here whenever carving korean food on a snowy day“

“The food was fresh and delicious. The staff are very professional and this place is also kid friendly. It gets super busy and crowded so go early if possible. I definitely recommend and will be coming back.“

“As food and travel enthusiasts, we’ve had Korean BBQ all over the world, and Cast Iron Pot delivers a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant is exceptionally clean, the atmosphere is lively, and the service truly stands out. The staff was attentive from the moment we arrived, frequently checking in, changing the grill when needed, and making sure we always had everything we needed.

The only reason for the 4-star rating is the quality of the meat. While the selection is generous, we were expecting more premium cuts with better marbling and tenderness. Upgrading the meat quality would elevate the entire experience and easily make this one of the top Korean BBQ destinations in the area.

If you’re looking for great service, a spotless restaurant, and a fun place to enjoy Korean BBQ with family or friends, Cast Iron Pot is definitely worth a visit.“

“This was our very first time ordering food from this Korean restaurant (Pelicana Chicken). We were looking for a new fried chicken spot and I think we found it! The fried chicken could stand on its own without any sauce and was extremely delicious. The shrimp was also pretty excellent.

The food didn’t take long to be delivered and it was hot & fresh as I had requested on the order.

We’re looking forward to ordering from them again soon. There also seems to be multiple locations. This first will not be a last. Looking forward to trying more dishes from Pelicana.“

“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 totally satisfied our desire for KBBQ. We were used to other cuts of meat after living overseas for 7 years but the buy 2, get 1 free meat special with three types of ribeyes (roast: thin sliced with salt/pepper seasoning at the end; standard: thick steak , cut up after cooking; marinated: already cubed and marinaded in a sweet soy sauce) was really good. The seafood pancake was more substantial than expected and delicious- it was thick, with a good amount of seafood and very mild green onions that made it really easy to eat. Service was very good where they anticipated our needs just as we were thinking/ about to think about it (plate replacements, lettuce refills, corn tea (light and refreshing!). We liked that they kept checking with us to make sure we were satisfied.“

“Very hospitable and attentive staff. I ordered the bibimbap and cold noodles to go. I think this may have been the best mul naengmyeon I've ever had, this restaurants version of it is very flavorful and well balanced. Atmosphere is comfortable as well. I highly highly recommend!“

“Tried the jaeyook bokeum, boneless fried chicken, tomato pasta, and kimchi jjigae at Bunsik Nara. The Korean food was decent. Fried chicken was the standout by far. Crispy and well seasoned. Tomato pasta was ok too. Biggest strength is the variety. Good spot for groups when everyone wants different things. Comfortable seating helps too.“

“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.“

“Stopped by for corn dogs and left impressed. The batter had that perfect crisp-golden crunch on the outside while staying fluffy and light inside not greasy at all, which is rare for fried food like this. The hot dog itself was juicy and well-seasoned, clearly good quality rather than an afterthought.
I tried a couple of their flavors and loved the mix of classic and creative options you can tell they put thought into the batter recipes and toppings instead of just doing the bare minimum. Service was fast and friendly, and prices felt fair for the portion size.
If you’re craving a nostalgic fair-food classic done right, this place delivers. Will definitely be back to try more menu items.“

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

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious and has that comforting, home-cooked feel. Despite being a cozy spot, seating is surprisingly easy. The owner is incredibly welcoming and organized, making you feel like a guest in their home. The atmosphere is chilled and laid-back with a low noise level, perfect for a great date night. Highly recommend!

They also do take-out!“

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

“I've had the chicken wings and strips and both were delicious! Got them with the sweet and spicy sauce, can't remember what it was called and couldn't pronounce it even when I was looking at it. The chicken was super crispy and glazed with the sweet and spicy sauce. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Could have been a bit more spicy but still awesome. The fried rice was a bit lacking. Got the kimchi and pork belly variety. The kimchi was not the spicy kind I am accustomed to from other Korean restaurants I've been to. It kinda just tasted like pickled cabbage, which is effectively sauerkraut. And their were only a couple cubes of pork belly. Would definitely not order it again. Not worth the money. Will definitely go be going back for the chicken and lots of other items I am curious about!“

“Roll combo platter A is a great deal for $80: more than enough food for three people (could easily feed 4-5) and comes with salad and miso soup. Service is great and the dining room is a nice size, doesn't get too loud so you can enjoy a nice conversation over yummy sushi.“

“I come here pretty often but cannot claim to have explored the menu thoroughly. I absolutely love their tteokbokki, which is just lovely: great portion size, perfect texture, and the subtle spice and sweet flavor of the sauce. Amazing with the addition of cheese.

I’ve also tried the tofu bowl, which I have not bothered with again, as well as the kimbap on numerous occasions, which is a great option for a snack or light lunch. The fried dumplings are super crispy and delicious.

I also almost always get a side of kimchi, which is a good size for the price and has a nice flavor and kick to it.

100% would recommend; I mostly get takeout, but the dine-in seating area is a nice setup. Sometimes they have a BOGO deal on the tteokbokki and it absolutely makes my day every time.“

“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!!“

“Every time I visit, the food is consistently clean, flavorful, and satisfying. The couple who run the counter are always so kind and welcoming. it really adds to the experience. No matter how many times I eat here, I never get tired of it. This place has that rare combination of great taste, warm service, and reliability. A true favorite“

“The service provided at the restaurant is excellent; the staff were always smiling. I arrived without knowing what to order, as I’m not very familiar with Asian cuisine, but I absolutely loved the dish the young woman prepared for me based on the specifications I gave her. The place itself was also very peaceful—a lovely spot to sit and eat.
Thanks“

“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!“
