About Koreander
Fine Korean food
Located at 128 Watchung Ave, Upper Montclair, NJ 07043, Koreander operates as a korean restaurant serving Upper Montclair in New Jersey. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.
Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Upper Montclair, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across New Jersey run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.
Hours are published for 6 days a week. The most common schedule is 11:30 am–9:30 pm. It is closed on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Koreander at (973) 509-7800; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is koreanderbbq.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Upper Montclair is in New Jersey, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Upper Montclair peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

My daughter and I have been eating here every week for years. The food always tastes fresh and delicious. We have tried multiple items and were never disappointed. The owner, Ben, is so wonderful (we even send them xmas cards every year). Everyone working there is friendly and welcoming. We literally look forward to eating here every week!

One of my favorite Korean BBQ spots in the Jersey area. I came here solo and enjoyed the Galbi but then brought my team a few weeks ago and we all enjoyed some delish Korean food. Service is always amazing and few atmosphere is small moms/pops shop. Please go there and enjoy your meal - you won’t regret it!!

Near authentic with obvious American ingredients here and there like the pepper and mushrooms, however the flavor is excellent and the hot bowl will make the rice crispy which is highly recommended! Banchan was meh, kimchi was pretty decent, not aged but yummy. Japchae is Hella expensive for whatever reason, just glass noodles... Definitely delicious and if you like spicy, you can get spicy! 5/5 stars for flavor and service and portion!

The service and the food were equally amazing. I got #9 manduguk it was a big flavorful ramen bowl. And I also had #14 samgyubsal dupbap it was soooooo good the crunchiness to rice or noodles whatever it was, it was perfect and yummy. If you’re coming here I definitely recommend ordering it. The staff here is so friendly and always have a warm smile on their face.
