Service deserves more than 5 stars…they set up and cook for you! I also loved the side dishes. The restaurant is clean and each table has their own little section which is nice. They also offer seafood options like clam and mussels which I thought was fun.

I’m pretty sure I could’ve trekked to Mordor and back in the time it took me to get to Obaltan on a Friday night, but ugh, it’s fine, whatever. Mordor doesn’t have grilled clams, right?
Anyway, come here to feast on the Clam Gui Combo, which gives you an ocean’s worth of the briney mollusks + an assortment of other seafood bites for $52…for two people! Seriously. I don’t think you’ll find a better clam deal unless the city of Boston knocked on your door and offered itself for free.
Other good bites: Kimchi Pajeon, large and crispy. And Boodae Jjigae, when you need sausage ramen stew to warm your insides.
If I can get a giant eagle to fly me here, I’d totally come back.

If you love Korean BBQ and seafood, this place is a must. Obaltan combines the best of both worlds from sizzling beef and pork grilled right at your table to fresh clams and an incredible seafood assortment. Everything was super fresh, flavorful, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere is lively, the service is great, and it’s perfect for groups or date nights. Definitely a go-to spot for Korean surf and turf in North Jersey!

Came here late at night for Korean beef intestines. Ordered the gopchang combo with large and small intestines, tripe, and rice cakes. Portions were very generous and enough for two people.
The intestines were clean and well grilled with no strong smell. Rice cakes were tasty, and the seafood pancake was crispy outside and soft inside.

Came here for Korean BBQ and had a solid experience overall. The meat quality was good, and the portions were generous. Service was friendly and checked in on us regularly and fast, wait time only cost 2 minutes.The place can get a bit loud during busy hours, but the food made up for it. Would come back with friends.

Had a great dinner tonight at Obaltan. We ordered the surf & turf combo and a seafood pancake… that was enough food to feed 5 adults! The waitress was great… she cooked everything for us! We ended up also ordering some noodles to go with the seafood soup but didn’t know about the kimchi fried rice at the end… so were pleasantly surprised at how much food there were. Will come back again if we’re in the area.
