Everything about this place is wonderful - good vibes, great service, and very delicious food! I enjoyed the kimchi carbonara pasta a lot. Crispy shrimp balls and salt and pepper wings for appetizers were so good. Bring a foodie friend and try as many things on the menu as you can.

Great dining experience, from the food to the service. Their tuna carpaccio app special and KFC wings were tasty. Same with pork belly and special fettuccine with scallops. Nice and relaxed pace too. Will be back.

Stop by this place for a random date night and I was not disappointed in the least bit. The crispy chicken was delicious. Also tried the octopus( perfectly cooked and paired well with the squid ink quinoa) and bone marrow (which stole the show). For our entrees we ordered the beef short ribs that were tender and quiet delectable, and the pork belly that was savory sweet and just the right heat. Definitely recommend and will be going back.

A Michelin star experience tucked away in fair Verona. Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Chef’s favorite entree is the pork belly and it is so incredible. Do not skip the soy garlic wings and potato leak soup. WOW. The seasonal pumpkin burrata was unexpected surprise; we licked the plate clean. Amazing, can’t wait to go back.

I agree with one of the other reviews that this is a Michelin star experience tucked away in Verona. Our dinner was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. We did have to wait when we arrived however, that was only because it’s a small space, and the people that were sitting at our table continued talking well after their table was cleared. The restaurant is BYOB but they have a wonderful nonalcoholic drink menu that if you would like to bring liquor, they will leave some room for you to spike your drink (you can bring wine if you prefer). However, the drinks on their own are superb and already taste (and look) like you’re having a fancy cocktail. When we took our first sip, we thought “oh we’re in trouble, these are so delicious” we were worried that we were going to drink them too fast; however, it did not end up being a problem because the food was so incredible at times we forgot about our drinks. Our group of four ordered several appetizers to share. We had the soy garlic crispy chicken wings, the delicate squash, the bone marrow, and the crispy shrimp balls. Each dish was cooked and plated to perfection. We then had entrées of the pork belly, Bulgogi fried rice, and the scallops. Everyone was very happy with their order. Everything was cooked and plated beautifully. The staff brought us a bowl of mussels with a side of fries on the house (possibly for waiting for the previous party to leave, we aren’t sure because we didn’t complain). I don’t normally eat mussels, but these were incredible. Again, spot on preparation and the white wine butter sauce that the mussels were in could have been a soup that you would eat by itself. After we finished the mussels, we would dip the fries and bread in the sauce and even some of the pork belly and scallops in it. We were all going to share the crème brûlée but then they brought us a slice of cheesecake, as well! Delicious, again!While we would get every dish again, we were particularly blown away by the delicate squash, crispy shrimp balls, moules-frites (mussels & fries), pork belly, scallops, and bulgogi fried rice. I’m kicking myself for not taking photos of all of the delicious dishes and drinks but that’s just how good everything was. You forget about everything else, lol. I would be remiss for not commenting on the lovely staff. It felt like they genuinely wanted to take care of us and ensure that we had a wonderful experience. They were all very friendly, warm, kind, and helpful. You could tell that everyone there takes great pride in working at this restaurant, and it must be a supportive environment for them. We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back, again, in the future.

They are AMAZING, every dish is standout worthy, how they don't have a Michelin star is beyond me!

Great first time experience here the other night. From the staff, to the food, and the fact it's BYOB - wonderful dinner. The portions were surprisingly larger than expected. Would recommend if you're in the area. (Tip - We brought our own wine but as many reviewers mentioned, there's literally a liquor store right across the stress fyi).

The food was amazing and the service was really great! The servers were very attentive and helpful! I highly recommend. For appetizers, we had the mushroom soup which was delicious. For the main meal, we had the salmon and the Japchae and both are amazing fusions of flavors that leave your taste buds very happy. The Japchae was vegan but we added scallops on top - we had the option of leaving it meatless or adding meat which was nice. Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend it!

Some of the best food I’ve eaten. The combination of French and Asian cuisine works perfectly. We had escargot, pork belly and short rib. All were perfect and I highly recommend a visit when you can.

First time here, as an appetizer ordered the kimchi fried rice with a fried egg, an absolute must order! So delicious, so flavorful, just the right amount of heat! Had the scallops with mushroom and farro, absolutely delicious! Couldn't fit dessert however will definitely try the cheesecake next time! Will definitely be going back soon!

Incredible food! Really nice place, but the food is the real draw here. Delectable French/Korean fusion, everything we had was delicious, and the cost was far more reasonable than one might expect for such a fancy place with such great food. Highly recommended, one of the best restaurants in an area packed with great food.

So happy we found this gem in Verona! So why ask 5 stars....sure here’s why:

- Decor is modern, clean, and so cozy
- They take reservations
- Presentation of food is picture ready
- Staff is excellent.... our waitress was great and Chef Wu (owner) came out to greet us. Talked to us for a few about his experience in culinary...so friendly!
- Menu options made me drool (brunch and dinner)
- Food was excellent
- Most importantly our kids LOVED IT
- Parking in the back not too big, they do have street parking too

So I love their 6 chicken wings (both flavors) they were nice enough to split so we can try both. The wings had this perfect crisp... I really liked the salt/pepper wings...it was sooooo good. The soy sauce reminded me of boom boom/bon chon chicken but Bloom was so much better!

Other apps to try is their Escargot (more bread is needed to dip) and their soups... I swear their flavor is so on point!

Dinner I LOVE their pork belly! It’s perfectly cooked and you just want more and more. I had their Branzino and I loved it!

Their menu tends to change which is awesome because I love trying new things.
They recently changed the Brunch menu and I will be coming back to try it out!

You will not be disappointed here. Staff is so friendly!

Amazing food and beautiful ambiance. All of the food was great, and love the combo of fusion. The lobster risotto was FILLED with different flavors in every single bite.

Our appetizers and meals were all phenomenal. The cultural mix makes for some really fun and unique takes, such as the kimchi and bone marrow combination. We definitely won’t hesitate to come back.

A great experience for an birthday dinner! My friend and I came in at our reservation time and we were promptly seated. Throughout our dinner, the waitresses were attentive. The owner later came around and asked all of the diners how the meal was. My friend and I asked the waitress to choose our appetizers and entrees.
We got the octopus appetizer and the wings appetizers. The octopus was highly recommended by both waitresses and it was great. The cauliflower puree was insane, and honestly was so meaty. The octopus was super tender. To me, it was my favorite dish of the day, and I definitely will order it again. The wings were good and I would recommend it to people who have not had Korean fried wings before.
For the entrees, we got the short rib and the bulgogi/kimchi fried rice. The short rib was very tender, and I used a fork to pull it apart. It had two sauces, one meaty and one that was caramelly. The sauces were complex, and I tasted different flavors at each bite. The bulgogi was tender, and was the best homecooked Korean meal I had in the States.
For dessert, we got the tiramisu and crème brûlée, and my friend got the cappuccino. I liked the crème brûlée and my friend loved the coffee.
I loved the meal, and will definitely come back.
Edited to add photos, and just to say I'm still thinking about the meal.

Until I visited the Bloom, I was very skeptical about this place because I don’t really believe those ‘Zagat’ or ‘Yelp’ rated awards. Although, I wanted to give myself a shot since the restaurant was near my town and it totally blew off my thoughts. The atmosphere of this place gave me a good vibe and the servers were super polite and sweet. Then the foods… I was very surprised by the quality, the presentation, and the taste. I must say that this place is definitely an upscale restaurant like you can find in NYC. Our favorite dished were a spicy taco, grilled octopus, and THE KIMCHI fried rice! It will worth every penny you spend this place for sure. I even love it’s BYOB so you can bring any kinds of your favorite drinks! Nice work Bloom! See Y’all guys soon again!

Best food and service in NJ! Outdoor dining was comfortable and well-spaced. I sincerely believe the food is as good as any 2 Michelin Star restaurant in New York City. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. BYOB!

Woo’s restaurant is 6 out of 5 stars. We had the watermelon salad, rock shrimp (the aioli sauces were sooo good for dipping!), Octopus, truffle mac n cheese, and the duck breast. Everything was fantastic and nicely plated. For dessert the creme brûlée was amazing and the peach melba hit the spot. The place is BYOB for booze but we didn’t have any. You can go across the street for alcohol and bring it with you. Great atmosphere and great staff. Will visit again!
