7 New Restaurants Coming To American Dream Complex After Café Closes

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — One dessert shop has closed at the American Dream entertainment complex, but seven new dining options are on the way.

The Oreo Café on the third floor of the complex — the first shop of its kind — closed this month, a spokesperson for the complex confirmed. The eatery had opened in 2021, offering shakes and souvenirs.

But seven restaurants are coming soon to the complex on Route 3 in East Rutherford.

They are:

• Miznon: Miznon describes itself as a casual Mediterranean restaurant started by Israeli chef Eyal Shani. Its first American location opened in 2018. Dishes range from lamb kebab pita to brisket and onions.
• Firehouse Subs: The sandwich restaurant has more than 1,000 locations across the U.S. including specialties like Jamaican Jerk Turkey and corned beef and provolone.
• Daily Seoul: Daily Seoul describes itself as a Korean restaurant offering bowls, Kimbap, and Korean-style buns with healthy ingredients. Kimbap is a sliced Korean roall featuring fillings in dried seaweed, such as egg, sautéed carrots, spinach, and other seasoned vegetables.
• Little Dumpling: "Little Dumpling in North Jersey offers handcrafted dumplings and flavorful Asian dishes," their listing says.
• Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao: Another chain that's popular around the East Coast. "Nan Xiang soup dumplings represent authentic Southern Chinese cuisine and Chinese comfort food in New York City," the company says.
• Giacomo's: Giacomo's is a pizzeria that's coming soon to the food court at the complex.
• Seoul Kitchen: The fast-casual eatery will offer Korean American fusion. They're also joining the food court, a spokesman said.

New Stores

As previously reported, four new stores opened at the complex toward the end of last year.

A soccer-focused Adidas sneaker shop also opened recently, in advance of the World Cup coming to the area.

American Dream is home to attractions including DreamWorks Water Park, Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park, Ninja Kidz Action Park, Sesame Street Learn & Play, The Gameroom Powered by Hasbro, New Jersey Hall of Fame, Legoland Discovery Center, Sea Life Aquarium, Big SNOW Ski Hill, and Dream Wheel – a 300-foot observation wheel overlooking the NYC skyline.
