Taste of Korea — Restaurant in Bloomfield

Place was clean and friendly. Nice environment. Food was pretty good, Staff was very nice. i only tried the poke bowls and would like to try more stuff from there to have a better opinion. (I saw they had ramen and burgers/dumplings) Got the Strawberry smoothie and it’s made with strawberry syrup and not real strawberries which i didn’t expect. It was good, just a bit sweet. We also got the aronia berry smoothie too, taste very similar to grapes/blueberry and acai. My poke bowl was cute and organized, however i wish there was some more spices involved (maybe i am just unaware if there was) majority of the flavor was from the sauces we added on. I really enjoyed the creamy garlic sauce and spicy mayo. I also liked that there was quinoa available as a base option. A bit pricy. For 2 bowls and 2 smoothies our total was around 50-60$ i think it was a good experience but i’m not rushing...

Nice, clean and conveniently located if you are walking to or from the train station or the neighborhood. The food however I give a 2.5: I had a simple turkey sausage, egg and cheese on a bagel. The bagel tasted good but where’s the meat? It was like no real effort was put into making a good breakfast sandwich and in NJ we’re known for that.

My husband had a more traditional meal - he had a chicken bowl with white rice and veggies but it lacked cohesiveness and seasoning according to him. I knew upon seeing the dish right away it was not going to meet his standards.

I specifically asked for Korean fried chicken and was told they had it but maybe there was a misunderstanding. They do not have Korean fried chicken. FRIED not grilled.

However the coffee was good, the environment was nice and the shop is impeccably clean, but we won’t...

I ordered pick-up and they were very nice on the phone and in person. However, if you want authentic tasting Korean, this is not it. We ordered the beef tofu soup, spicy pork dinner and wings with kimchi fried rice. Normally Korean places have that delicious sticky chewy short grain rice. The rice they used was the type you would get at a Chinese takeout restaurant. The spicy pork dinner was dry and a small portion compared to other Korean restaurants that charge that amount. There were other issues but I’ll...
