Welcome to our unique culinary experience, where the heritage of Korean cuisine meets the sophistication of French culinary. We are thrilled to bring you a new concept in fine dining – “Korean Fusion.”

Our story begins over a quarter of a century ago when Chef Eleazar Martinez, fondly known as Eli, and Proprietor David Oh, embarked on their culinary journey together. Their enduring partnership blossomed at the acclaimed Woo Lae Oak in Soho and has since flourished, shaping some of the most distinguished dining experiences in the culinary landscape. This dynamic duo continued to leave their mark at Bann in midtown Manhattan, and Woodam in Morris Plains, NJ.

Eli and David’s latest venture is the much-loved Eli’s Eatery in Parsippany, NJ. This restaurant has become a testament to their gastronomic prowess and their commitment to bringing joy through food.



Chef Eli is an artisan of food, trained in the highly respected tradition of French culinary. His cooking philosophy is marked by a deep respect for ingredients and a relentless pursuit of perfection. His passion extends far beyond the confines of his own culture, taking him on a journey to explore the rich tapestry of global cuisines. This exploration has inspired him to conceive a unique culinary concept – “Korean Fusion.”

Our “Korean Fusion” is an exciting blend of the heartwarming comfort of traditional Korean food and the sophisticated techniques of French culinary. The combination of these distinct culinary worlds manifests in an unforgettable journey of flavors that we can’t wait to share with you.

Join us and indulge in an innovative dining experience that celebrates the harmonious fusion of cultures, flavors, and traditions, crafted with passion and served with love.
