41 Best Korean Restaurants near Nutley

“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“

“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“

“A modern Korean inspired interior that feels very clean and well designed. The lighting isn’t too dim at night, which makes the space feel warm and atmospheric. It’s a great spot for dates or casual group dinners, and it’s also very photogenic. The food is on the refined Korean side generally well executed and safe, but not particularly bold or memorable. The flavors are nice but don’t stand out much, and the overall layering of taste feels a bit light.Service is overall solid and consistent. The dessert is a highlight, especially the black sesame flavor, which is rich and very well done.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“From the moment we walked in on a Friday night, we felt completely at home. The owners are some of the warmest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. They take the time to chat with you and make you feel like family. The Korean fried chicken and fried rice were absolutely incredible, everything came out fresh, hot, and perfectly cooked, and with so much variety to explore: different flavors, Korean snacks, and bites. It made for such a fun night of trying new things. The restaurant is spotless, the music sets a great vibe, it’s totally kid-friendly, and BYOB is a huge bonus on top of the already unbeatable central location. But what truly makes this place special is the heart behind it. You can feel the love and care they pour into everything. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! This place is a real gem!“

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

“food, place and friendly staff“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“I’ve been to Don Chicken several times now, and it never disappoints. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the flavors are always spot-on. I always order the rose tteokbokki too—it never gets old. The place is clean and cozy, and the staff are super friendly, which makes every visit a pleasure. Definitely one of my go-to spots!“

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

“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.“

“Best sushi restaurant I have EVER been to. It is VERY affordable, the service is amazing!!!! I went with my wife and my son, and they gave use free desert and food for my son. I will be recommending everyone I know to come here. 10/10✨✨✨“

“Totally worth the 1hr travel for us! I love the variety of food you can get and the lemonades. I also love the fact that they cook the meat for you. All you have to do is sit and enjoy. Aa formeats that is notorious for popping, they have a cover for that. You dont have to worry about anything but enjoying yourselves!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“I got so lucky when I randomly stumbled upon this place while getting lunch at work. As someone who loves chicken teriyaki trust me when I say you must try theirs. I have been searching for the last few years all around the bergen county area for the best chicken teriyaki and I have found it here. This is my absolute favorite! I have tried probably 50+ restaurants and nothing can beat this. From the way they prepare chicken, to the homemade sauce they use, the perfectly cooked rice and the avocado, egg and dumplings they add on.... it is one of the greatest combinations i've ever tasted. On top of that, their sushi is always delicious and fresh. If thats not enough, they also have fantastic owners and workers there. I always get a warm greeting, and they're thankful for my patronage. Fantastic all around. I will be back soon... My favorite sushi spot!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Honest review- during my sit down at restaurant the owners and guy at register were kind people -that always goes a long way!
Food: fresh, nicely battered chicken it didn’t seem that the oil was sitting there all day- super fresh not too salty or heavy meal. I also ordered no salt on fries -that was accommodated for. Best fried kitchen that I’ve tried in the Ny/NJ area and I like the Korean twist with the sauces you can ask them to put on side. This is the type of business that local community should support given the way they are not trying to overdo it n keep it tasty at same time.
I happened to be passing thru town and saw the reviews- it’s worthy to become a restaurant chain/franchise. And it’s good prices there is no reason not to try this place especially if you’re close by. Best of luck to your business!“

“We were so fortunate to have such a wonderful server assist us Chad. His attentiveness throughout the meal was truly remarkable. They offered excellent recommendations with a genuine smile. Every request was handled promptly and with great care. It's clear they take pride in providing exceptional service. We truly appreciated their positive and welcoming demeanor. Our experience was elevated significantly thanks to their efforts. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment based on their outstanding hospitality.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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~“

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

“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…“

“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“

“Not sure why I haven’t glorified this place yet because I literally come every week. I’m here to tell you to go there once and see for yourself how utterly delicious everything is. Service is amazing SHOUTOUT TO JOON who is our ROCKKKK over there. He always does a great job.

You will most likely have to wait for a table but it’s worth it..

Make sure to get the sushi with MIXED RICE it is a game changerrr. Everything is fresh and delish. You do get what you’re paying for. The yakisoba is a honorable mention. We always get the kani salad, avocado fries, and the koshi tacos so good. For sushi we get the “for two” special and order either the Watchung roll, JJ roll, or the Jersey roll all with mixed rice.. honestly been coming here for over 2 years consistently and never had a bad experience..

Love you guyssss ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“The place is packed, and once u take a bite u will know why🔥🔥🤷🤷

This mozzarella dog with hot Cheetos was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤤🤤🤤🤤
It is expensive for 12$ and change for one corn dog but ur inside a mall so deal with it 😂😂“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Their foods are delicious.
Only thing I don't like is their take containers. They keep using black containers which most food related places not using anymore since recent research found the black plastic containers is not safe for food and eventually not good for human health.“
