17 Best Korean Restaurants near Pine Brook

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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…“

“I’ve been to multiple BBQ Chicken restaurants and this one is THE BEST. Quality is so fresh, the restaurant is so clean and the fried chicken always hits the spot. The chicken is always so crispy and juicy every single time I get it. I also really recommend their rosé spicy rice cake!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and especially service. I was compelled to write this review because my family's server this evening actually ran down the block to make sure we got the leftovers we had wrapped up to go and left on the table. Thank you!!“

“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.“

“I recently ordered from The Den, it’s a charming new BYOB spot that has quickly become a favorite. The service was impeccable from start to finish; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. As for the food, every dish was a masterpiece—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the perfectly seasoned appetizers to the mouthwatering entrees, each bite was a delight. The freshness of the ingredients and the chef's skillful preparation were evident in every course. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.“

“This hidden gem is by far the best sushi in… all of NJ and even competes on the same level as NY sushi. Always fresh and delicious. I especially love the special rolls that are topped with copious amounts of marinated tuna and salmon. The flavor is so good, idk how they do it. A must try for sushi lovers!“

“I'm currently living for the spicy bulgogi! The breading on the bone in wings is fricken on point, like holy crunchy Batman.“
