Excellent food and service! Always enjoy going here for a dinner uptown. The entire staff is excellent!

When Woodam opened initially, the food was amazing and reasonably priced. It seems to have evolved to a much more "higher end" destination although the quality of the food IMO opinion has decreased. Example..... ordered the Bulgogi and asked if the meat was fresh, server indicated it was so I asked that it be prepared mid-rare. Server said they cook everything to more of a well done consistency to ensure no one gets sick. This really does not make sense. I order beef either black/blue or mid rare always and have yet to have stomach issues at other establishments if it is truly fresh. Servers are great but do not envision going back anytime soon. read more

Service was good and the server we had was very attentive. Good food would probably go there again. Parking is located in the rear of the restaurant. I can't speak for the difference of services during the dinner rush, but overall satisfied with my experience there. read more

Woodam is seriously the best. We order takeout pretty often, but it's such a treat when we get to dine in and enjoy the Korean BBQ experience. This is tough to do with young kids, but it's the perfect date night activity when we have a sitter. The Korean BBQ spread is massive. I can't even explain how many sides it comes with. Everything from soups to pickled veggies to tofu. But of course, the real star of the show is the meat which is so tender and perfectly flavored. They throw veggies on the grill like pineapples and onions and this is the perfect accompaniment. Plus of course lots of sauces to dip. Bring your favorite bottle to drink and a huge appetite. You will not be disappointed. read more

Full disclosure, we weren't going to Woodam at all that night. We were going to Arthur's down the street but they were closed. So, we walked in to Woodam without a reservation. We were fortunate to be seated right away because all the walk-ins behind us had to wait. The service was exceptionally attentive and helped us first-timers through the menu. We were only two people, so we opted for the small (which turned out to be huge) beef BBQ combo. Not knowing any better we got the Panjun appetizer also. The BBQ combo comes with about eight side dishes and in total was more than we could eat. The tabletop cooking was fun and interesting. They cook everything for you unlike other places that let you cook your own. The quality and flavors were outstanding. BYOB. Already drafting another couple to go back there with. read more

The food quality, presentation, and overall taste were outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully plated, and the attention to detail--from the garnishes on the food to the beverages--was a really nice touch that elevated the entire meal. The ambiance is sophisticated, clean, and welcoming, making it perfect for both a relaxed dinner and a special occasion. You can tell a lot of care goes into every aspect of the experience. Highly recommend Woodam if you're looking for top-tier Korean BBQ with refined presentation and excellent execution. read more

The kbbq was very good! All of the apps were delicious. Service was good. The only thing was they have a very bright neon sign which was large and close to our table and felt too bright despite switching to different seats. Unfortunately, no other table was available. It would be helpful to tone that sign down.. read more

Amazing service, the employees here were super nice and very fun. The food looked and tasted incredible! I recommend the eggs and rice, Bulgogi, and the marinated chicken. read more

When I say excellent... I mean excellent! Wow. Went there on a date and oh my goodness, that is our spot. So we decided to get some Korean dishes and skip the BBQ. We want the real stuff! One thing I will mention about the BBQ, which I think is nice, is they walk around to the tables and cook the meats for you. I am not sure if that is a normal thing but I like that because I always do the cooking for everyone at the table and it takes away from my eating time. Ok on to the food... We got these yummy pork bao buns. Oh my gawsh, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! Juicy with every bite. Savory and sweet. I wanted more haha. We also got the Yook Hoe, amazing amazing AMAZING! The presentation was so lovely. Our server showed us the cute little quail egg. and cracked it open and started mixing everything. It's also served with pear wich gives it an even more refreshing taste. NEXT we got the Kalbijjim. The flavors in this dish were mouth watering. The meat fell right off the bone as they were cutting it. Our server also recommended after we eat the meat to put our white rice in the juices. Omg, my mouth is watering now just thinking about it. All the side dishes were really good too. The tofu and broccoli sides were my favorite. The broccoli was really buttery. So good. At the end they gave us a mini glass of a cinnamon ginger drink. That was delicious. I definitely need to come back soon and try more dishes. Good job! read more

My friends and I had an entirely delicious meal at Woodam. We selected the bulgogi beef, which is drenched in a delicious marinade, and the chicken, which is served with fried garlic and grilled onion. We ordered the spicy variants of both proteins, but any spice was definitely mild. We polished off the banchan and 3 dishes of the miso paste between the three of us. We also asked for the squid appetizer - it's a crisp, light breading and has a noticeable spice profile, unlike our proteins. Since one of our proteins was chicken, the server cooked it for us. But they also then cooked the bulgogi without asking us if we wanted to ourselves. My party was exhausted after an atypically long work week - maybe we were giving off vibes - but they should've asked. As a party of 3, the server pushed us to order 3 proteins. I'm glad we went with just 2. The plentiful side plates help fill you up, and we ordered the app too. It was also someone's birthday, so the servers played loud music in the dining room, which disrupted our meal. Be prepared to spend roughly $50 a person if you go for the on-table BBQ experience. They do offer a la carte plates if you're not up for family-style eating. On a Friday night at 6:30, we waited 20 minutes after arrival to be seated. read more

Tasty Korean BBQ spot in a more modern, upscale setting. We got the beef set A for 2 with a side of Kimchi Jjigae and hot-stone bibimbap. Everything was elegantly plated. Galbi and Prime rib were grilled carefully by our waitress and were cooked just right to a medium. Kimchi Jjigae was a tad salty and lacked some depth, otherwise the other stew sides were solid! I have to disagree with a few of the other reviews I saw before visiting -- I appreciated the extremely attentive service whether that was for tea, Banchan, or offers to pour out each of our stews. The cinnamon ginger drink offered at the end was perfect to wrap up the meal. read more

I was in the area for work and met up with my brother for lunch. I had never been here before and we were looking for soemthing that we don't get to go to together very often, so we opted for Korean BBQ. We started with the Mandu which is pan fird beef shor rib dumplings, which were free because of yelp! yey! I ordered the Beef Set A, which included 4 different meats including the Kalbi which is always one of my favorites, even though all were very good. I also got cheesy corn and den jang chige, which is a stew, for our sides. One of the interesting surpsies was that our server actually took care of the cooking for us. That was a nice surprise. read more

Today is Father's Day 2025. This restaurant completely ruined the day for myself and my family. We have two small kids, age 3 and 6. Timeline: - 6:40 I arrived for my reservation. We were told they are busy and we would need to wait. This is understandable. - 7:20 After asking multiple times, they finally seated us. - 7:40 After no service, no water, no one to take our order, we left. This is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. I have been to this restaurant 5-10x before, I will no longer return. read more

Woodam - Lunch! - Korean Near Me - Morris Plains, New Jersey

Wonderful find! Was so happy to discover a legit Korean BBQ spot that doesn't require one to schlep all the way to Fort Lee, NYC or Edison. Looks like they opened up over the last few years but we hadn't realized until now. Woodam is located on the main street of a small town where there's also ample parking around. Importantly, the quality of the food is excellent. We had the BBQ set which was well prepped and cooked for us at the table, and the new-ish special squid bibimbap which was a big hit... fresh ingredients, balanced marinate (including anchovy seasoning to bring out the complex flavors) and reasonable portion. Service was friendly and efficient. Very happy with our meal and will be sure to return whenever we're craving for good Korean locally. read more

Services was great and look forward to be here as often as i can and possibly tag my friends alongside

Me and my 3 co-workers came here on a weekday for lunch. They open at 11:30AM which was perfect for us - and we were the only ones to be there for a while until lunch "rush hour" started. We ordered several dishes from their lunch menu special, and everything was super delicious. The experience was somewhat soured by the fact that our server seemed a bit confused and didn't bring the right dish, even though I was the first to place an order in our group. However, another staff was super kind and helpful, therefore able to remediate the overall lunch experience. While I wanted to try Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap, I was brought regular Bi Bim Bap - it was tasty regardless, just not in a sizzling stone bowl like I was eager to try (that's the main difference between the two dishes). My colleagues had Bok Kum Bap (fried rice), Kimchi Chige (Kimchi soup) and Gook Su Bokum (noodles with veggies & choice of protein); we also ordered Ssam Buns for the table to share (and that was my favorite!). Whilst this place is on a seemingly busy street, there's ample parking in the back of the building. Entrance is still only through the front of the street. Since we really enjoyed the food - and the pricing appeared reasonable, at least for the lunch specials - we do consider coming back here to try something next next time. read more

The service here is great! My family got the galbijjim and the waiter was amazing and cut the meat pretty cleanly off the bone for us! Not to mention the dish itself was delicious and the meat super tender. I got the mul-naengmyeon and although it is different from what I'm used to was still very good, definitely sweeter than the usual. Can't wait to try the kbbq here next time! read more

This location has been many thinks in the past that have failed out but I think the current restaurant will be a success Having lived in MO Plains I joined friends for dinner and they choice Woodam. Inside is well laid out with plenty of room, a bar set back deeper in the restaurant and plenty of woodwork I recommend reservations, my friends mad them so we didn't have to wait but many did that came in after us. That said service was good and the owner was constantly present , my only disappointment was my dish came out significantly earlier then both of my friends . Not planning on eating before then I sent it back to keep warm - no issues mgmt was understanding Once the food came it was all delicious We had two appetizers Mandu & Pa Jun. The mandu came with 6 dumpling , all were nicely crisped and flavorful. The Pa Jun was excellent - think of a deep dish Chinese scallion pancake.. excellent! Crispy , many vegetables, FLAVORFUL For entree I had the spicey Dak chicken . It was more sweet /spicey then spicey level 3 out of 10 spicey - prefect.. sauce was delicious and served with choice of white or brown rice Finally , the restaurant is BYOB which adds to the value opportunity. Great choice by my friends and I look forward to visiting again to further explore the menu For entree I read more

Last night our neighborhood group went out to Woodam for a group dinner and we couldn't have been happier with the food and service. The place is beautiful and there's plenty of seating. Because of the way Korean BBQ works they don't have big round tables, but tables of four/eight so every four people gets their own grill. That was the only down side to last night as the 15 of us couldn't chat the way we normally do. Our section of four ordered the dumplings, Korean calamari, and Korean chicken wings to start. All I can say is BRAVO. The appetizers were all excellent-amazing flavor with just a hint of spiciness. For our entrees we shared the Spicy Bulgogi, Spicy pork and boneless short ribs that we cooked ourselves (well, I cooked for everyone). The thin sliced pork and beef (bulgogi) cooks in a little more than a minute and the thicker chunks of short rib takes about twice the time, but it's really nice to just take your time and chat while you're cooking and eating. The marinades on the meat were really delicious and they can modify the spiciness from mild to Wow. Wifey had been to other Korean BBQ places previously, but it was my first time...and it will NOT be my last. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other options. BTW, it's a BYOB, which we love, so the bill was not a shock at the end of the night. Happy eating everyone! read more

The food was delicious and our server was absolutely pleasant. One of the better restaurants in the area

Woodam is a Korean restaurant with some non-traditional aspects. Something funny we noticed is that they refer to "Kim bap" as a "sushi roll," but will list a very traditional name like "o jing aw ti kim" on the same page. While you can taste that the appetizers were not fully traditional, they still tasted good! The Korean fried chicken had great, crispy skin with a nice bite. Our "sushi roll" with soft shell crab also tasted pretty okay. I liked how the seafood pancake was quite fluffy, while pa jun is traditionally pretty thin. The main reasoning for the 3-star review is that the majority of my table ordered the soon doo boo but we were all underwhelmed. The broth did not have a deep, whole, and complete flavor. My Korean friend described it as, "someone read a soon doo boo recipe online and attempted to make this." Our banchan also did not come out until RIGHT before our entrees. I'm used to receiving them right after we order. This is not to say Woodam is a bad restaurant! They are relatively new and maybe are still working out some kinks. Some other tables ordered the kbbq and that looked good, so maybe I'll have to give them another try in the future. read more

Excellent Korean bbq. Comes with full range of sides to complement your meat choices. Staff is very gracious and attentive. This is a fantastic place for a group dinner, we tried the beef combo option A and it was more than enough food for the 5 of us dining. For appa, the chicken wings are excellent as were the stuffed clams and the egg soufflé. The restaurant as a nice layout and interior. They serve only NJ made wines so if you're particular on wine, BYOB. Highly recommend! read more

Steve A.'s review is clown talk. Bonchon is a disgrace to Korean food, NOT this place. This is MODERN Korean food WITH TRADITIONAL ROOTS. Steve A says "can't fool a korean bla bla bla". I'm freaking 100% Korean and been eating this food my entire life. The BEST KOREAN FOOD AROUND The food is AMAZING the atmosphere is beautiful and well put together. This restaurant has something for everyone.... Given they're in the mood for Korean food. The lunch special is an amazing deal. The korean fried chicken wings are the BEST i've ever had. The chicken wing itself had a unique flavor aside from the added sauce. Together, the dish is an amazing experience of different flavors. Amazing! And well done! The prices are fair considering the LARGE portioned appetizers and amazing flavor profiles of the dishes. The presentations and plating of the dishes is very cool. One of the seafood appetizers come on a tray of salt on . All ingredients are super fresh... you can tell. During my tour of upstairs I got a glimpe of what be the CLEANEST KITCHEN i've ever seen. Oh and upstairs, the party room, has an amazing set up for family events. I will totally be back with my friends and family. I really appreciated this dining experience (not just because my gf paid). read more

Best food and friendly staff. Highly recommend it. Great place for a birthday celebration.

After waiting so long for it to open, we were so excited to have a k-bbq spot locally. The place is very clean and loved the new style of the bbq grills. For the first time at a k bbq spot we didn't leave smelling like bbq! We had reservations. The quality of the food and meat was very good. Well seasoned and the servers give you the option to cook yourself or have them do it. The banchan was okay and very fresh but a bit lacking in variety. We're used to at least 6-7 varieties of things to be served. They partnered with a winery in Delaware to serve their wines by the bottle but you can BYOB. read more

I had very bad experience here and recommend not to go. They look down on you if you don't order enough. They play music so loud in that you don't know if it's a disco or restaurant. The waitress is very very snobby and judgmental if you order enough. Place is just very bad. read more

Meat was fresh. Options are abundant. Service was so so. Ambience is as expected for a Korean bbq joint. I'd come again.

We started following Woodam on social media after their collaboration with Crazyhungryasians as everything looked so good. There is plenty of parking in the rear and the ambiance when entering is clean and inviting. They had these cute Santa Claus hat chair covers and festive music playing at a nice low level. We liked that each person gets their own set of side dishes. We usually don't eat all of the different types of sides at Korean restaurants but my wife ate everything including my kimchi and radish and the attentive wait staff brought us more. My wife had the regular lunch box with spicy pork bulgoki. Very generous portion of meat and beautiful presentation like the pictures we saw. I had the premium lunch box which comes with an extra entree and appetizer. Everything was excellent and the prices were very reasonable in this age of skyrocketing prices. We'll be back to try the table BBQ next time. read more
