WOOSMASH Introduce
For New Jersey diners, WOOSMASH in Verona represents the brilliant evolution of local fine dining into the world of elevated comfort food. This restaurant is a fast-casual concept spearheaded by the acclaimed Chef Woo, known previously for the highly-rated Bloom. WOOSMASH brings the same dedication to quality, flavor complexity, and attention to detail that patrons loved, now applied to an accessible menu of smash burgers, fried chicken, and inventive sides.
WOOSMASH has been an immediate success, stunning former fine-dining patrons with the sheer quality and value of its offerings. Customers describe the food as "all of the levels of incredible and superb" that the chef's previous establishment offered, proving that love, attention, and care are put into every bite. The foundation of the menu is built on perfectly executed smash burgers—praised for their thin, crispy, lacy edges—and large, juicy, and flavorful chicken tenders.
The concept brilliantly fuses classic American comfort food with sophisticated, often Korean-inspired flavors, reflecting its identity as an Asian-owned business. This is evident in items like the Bulgogi Smash burger and the use of Miso caramelized onions and house-made pickles across the signature burgers. The restaurant offers a dining experience that is both family-friendly and welcoming to everyone, committed to being an LGBTQ+ friendly and comfortable space for the community.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Insanely good burger. I got the Woo Signature and had to stop myself from ordering a second. The sauce is heavenly and the patties were cooked perfectly. The French fries, corn ribs and onion rings were also very good. Can't wait to come back.
September 30 · Anthony CoronaAt first when we heard that Chef Woo was closing Bloom, we were devastated. Bloom has consistently been one of our all time favorite restaurants in New Jersey and we've always loved recommending it to friends and family and taking guests there whenever we've wanted to celebrate or really show them an incredible meal.But Chef Woo's new fast casual concept WOOSMASH is still all of the levels of incredible and superb that Bloom was, just in a completely different form. The meal we had was just as amazing and impressive as any we had at Bloom. Love and attention and care put into every bite. The tenders are large, flavorful, juicy, and the variety of handmade flavors is overwhelming. We particularly enjoyed the dry rub bursting with complexity of flavors. The corn ribs were so much fun to eat especially dipped into the garlic aioli. But the burgers....WOO the burgers! Truly perfectly smashed with thin crispy lacy bits of almost bacon-like beefy goodness on the edges of the burger and so much savory flavor added by the miso caramelized onions and house-made pickles.We could not have been more amazed and impressed by Chef Woo's brilliant pivot into some of the best, most delicious, honest comfort food. The burgers are flavorful and heavy, the tenders are juicy and robust. The shakes are the thickest in the state. An incredible meal at an even more incredible value not surprisingly delivered by an incredible chef. We were wooed by WOOSMASH!
October 19 · Jer JhoStopped here today after seeing this place on Instagram a bunch of times. This place is outstanding. I had the woo signature it was delicious. The corn ribs were also excellent A Little on the spicy side. The show stopper were the tenders. I got the soy garlic three huge pieces excellent flavor. Very nice owner very clean establishment.
October 08 · Michael DelucaThis place is absolutely amazing! Everything tasted so, so good, and the owner is the sweetest. They’re about to introduce new chicken flavors, and we got to try them ,they were absolutely incredible! They also have vegetarian selections which is really great.Truly one of the nicest spots I’ve ever been to, and I can’t wait to come back again.
August 23 · Bhumika ShresthaThis place was soooooo good. Highly recommend getting 2 patties…it’ll feel like 1. We got onion rings and tater tots as sides and they were unbelievable as well. Super crispy tots and seasoned very well. Sauces are very yummy too. Love that you can see the chefs make all the food and there’s only 2 of them so it’s a nice and personal experience. Everyone is super sweet and I will definitely be back.
