    I love corn dogs so I was excited to try this little quick service establishment and decided on the half hot dog half mozzarella corn dog. It was a pretty reasonable price ~$5 or so. I would maybe try different sauces next time but overall was satisfied with my experience. There is pretty limited space and there are not a ton of tables though so I did have to wait for it to clear out a bit before I could sit down to enjoy my food. At the same shop you could also buy shaved ice desserts and some other sweet treats that I'll have to check out another time.

    One of our must do's every time we come to Asia Mall. This shop is combined with a Korean shaved ice spot which makes for a great treat spot. Cruncheese specializes in Korean hot dogs. You can get a hot dog, cheese or combo middle that is coated in a delicious batter. There are options to add potatoes and a variety of sauces that you can get. They are all made fresh and served very hot. It may take a little longer but it's worth it for the freshness! Service is always excellent each time we visit. Next time you stop at Asia Mall plan for a little extra time to visit Cruncheese!

    I get these Korean corn dogs almost everytime I come to the Asia mall they are soo good, a lot of the time better and cheaper than a lot of the sit down restaurant food. They are crunchy, cheesy, and x10000 than American corn dogs!

    Yummy and fun. A unique take on a corn dog with a crunch bun like texture on the outside. Great if it's hot and fresh. Would return but wouldn't have high expectations. Warning-don't order online in advance. I placed an order for pick up and they made it nearly 4 hours early and then I had to ask to get fresh food. Not the best customer service. In the upper level of Asia Mall. Has an elevator to make it accessible.

    First time trying a Korean corn dog and I was not disappointed! I asked the employee what to eir favorite combo was and it scared me a bit at first, but it was super good. Details in the photo! We also got the potato dog with garlic on it and although I love garlic, it tasted a little too strong/fake for me. Would've been better with just ketchup. Neat little spot in the Asia mall that I'd stop by again!

    This korean hot dog restaurant is located inside the asian mall in eden prairie. Upper level next to the other eateries. I can smell the corn dogs cooking once I started walking up the stairs. They have a small restaurant but has tables and chairs for dining in. I ordered my corn dog and waited outside by the railings. Service was great, just order at the counter and once your order is ready, they will call your order number. Condiments and dipping sauces are all on the counter to dress up the corn dog to your liking.

    I really enjoyed the location of this place. It was a fun treat after shopping around the Asia Mall! There was a good amount of seating in the space, so it was relatively easy to sit down and enjoy the food. The staff were kind of unfriendly, but it was busy and they were doing the best the could. The curt service was just a little off-putting to me. As for the food, I got the Potato Mozza Korean corn dog with hot sauce on top. Unfortunately, the hot sauce almost completely overpowered the rest of the flavors. Important note: These are pretty big! I would say one would be enough for most people.

    Fun textures and pick your own sauces and toppings that you can mix and match! Ordered the cheese and potato (only) corn dog based on a friend's recommendation. It was tasty, but I would order a different one with meat next time. Good, but a lot of "side dish" taste when I was looking for a meal. Just means I have to return and try another!

    Yum! My husband, 3 children, and myself came here on a Friday during Christmas break. We first ordered one Potato Mozza to try it out for fun. The cashier suggested a couple hot sauces to top it with. It was so good! So naturally, we ordered more. We tried the Mozza & Hot Dog and the All Cheddar, both were good, but our favorite was the Potato. Cruncheese shares a space with Snowbing, so we got our dessert at the same location. We will definitely be coming back!

    Stopped in for a couple corn dogs around noon on a Saturday! The mall was busy but the cruncheese location had a bit of open seating when we stopped in. We got two corn dogs for less than $11 and they were HUGE! They have a ton of sauce options (some of the marketing in store says cheese mustard but they didn't have it when we were there). Service was quick and within 10 minutes we had our fresh corn dogs, got them topped with sauce, and dug in. What we got: -One Potato crusted hotdog topped with Garlic Parmesan and Honey Mustard -One half mozzarella half hotdog topped with Sweet Chilli Sauce and Regular Mustard Overall both corn dogs were SO GOOD! A thick fluffy batter with a crunch that you can only get from a fresh deep fry - they weren't too salty or sweet and has good flavor all on their own (well as much as we could try on their own based on how much sauce was put on - but were not complaining :) ). If you're a cheese lover the half or full mozzarella is the way to go (the photos do stand up and it has an INSANE cheese pull) - but either way anyone can find something quick that they like here! Definitely will be back one day if we are craving some Korean corn dogs again.

    The kids keep asking to come here for Korean Corn Dogs! We love the Korean Corn Dogs with Potato Cubes. So delicious The service is ok. Just like many fast food joints, you order at the register and call your number when it's your turn for pick up. My wait was just under 5 minutes. At pick up, they'll ask you what type of toppings/sauces you like. We love the sugar topping with ketchup (and the boys like to add mustard). There are a few tables inside the small restaurant, but it was clean.

    I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again, but maybe the prior reviews and ratings, on top of how amazing these things look, had me thinking this place was going to be life-changing. The price is decent, the staff was friendly, and it filled my food-on-a-stick cravings.

    I was so happy when Cruncheese first opened their locations. Driving out of state used to be the only option when looking for Korean corn dogs, and many other Korean foods, so I'm excited to see Minnesota expand their food options a lot in these past few years. Corn dogs are always made fresh. My favorite is the rice cake potato dog with sweet chili sauce, but the other flavors and variations are good as well (Don't shy away from adding sugar on top, it's better than you'd think). Staff is friendly.The restaurant is located inside Eden Prairie's Asia Mall. On the weekends, the mall can get pretty busy, so far parking and a bit of a long wait might be in order. Not too many seating options, but it's usually a cute and clean little space.

    | A Well-Deserved Review for Exceptional Service I am…read morewriting this because it is a review well deserved. After the experience I had at the Eden Prairie Smashburger today, I felt compelled to share how one person's genuine kindness and professionalism can completely turn a day around. I came in with my seven-year-old son after an incredibly grueling day of cleaning out my mother's house, as she just passed away a few days ago. Between the heavy grief and battling the subarctic Minnesota temperatures, I was feeling completely overwhelmed. Our order taker was Oliver, and we struck up a wonderful, genuine conversation. He asked where I was from, and I shared that while I live in Los Angeles now, I'm originally from here and am a Wayzata High School graduate. It turns out Oliver is a current Wayzata student! As an alum, it was so great to connect with him, but the experience went far beyond just small talk. After taking our order, Oliver looked at me and said, "You know, because you came out in this weather, we're just going to comp your meal tonight." I hadn't mentioned a word about my loss or how hard the day had been. This wasn't about him reacting to my story; it was just a spontaneous, kind gesture based on a genuine human interaction. I literally started crying "good tears" right there because it was exactly the kind of niceness I needed. A Stellar Representative Oliver is an absolute professional and a stellar representative for the Smashburger brand: Expert Knowledge: He was incredibly educated about the menu and other locations, offering fantastic suggestions. The Perfect Face of the Business: He is exactly the kind of front-forward facing person any owner would want representing their brand. Bright Future: He embodies a level of maturity and ethos that ensures he is going to go very far in life. The Food On top of the incredible service, the food was spot on. The burgers and fries were great, and the vanilla shake was delicious--the perfect treat for my son. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for great food and even better people. To the management: you have an exceptional young man on your team. Thank you, Oliver, for your professionalism and for being the light in a very difficult week. Go Trojans!

Beckett's in uptown and Meteor Bar in Northeast are great examples of bars, both with food, that consistently go later no matter what. granted they are both in Minneapolis, so different customer base. come here, support this local establishment! they are good, just not great though they could be!! p.s. yes i am writing this from the bar, and just an update: my bill confirmed their happy hour is NOT running tonight. :/ granted the bartender never said there was happy hour and those menus weren't out, so i suspected as much. but i came for the happy hour, including food, and got neither. first world problems for sure!

The shrimp were very flavorful and the whole thing just came together nicely. Yum! Second was a kid's menu Quesadilla with ground beef which needed absolutely zero sauce because the meat was so well-seasoned. The tortilla was soft and nicely grilled. A definite winner. It came with beans and rice on the side, neither of which was special. The take on Street Corn was different, a soda cup of corn with the street toppings on top and layered in the middle. The sauce tasted like mayonnaise and I didn't care for it. It was like canned corn with some stuff on it, but one miss on an otherwise home run of a meal wasn't bad. The Queso Blanco was a perfect consistency and the chips were good if lacking salt. Note that the queso is about 1/4 cup, a small portion perfect for me. I tasted all three salsas and loved them, especially the salsa verde.

Came for the chicken and, while it tasted good, it didn't taste like anything different compared to other grilled chicken restaurants.

Enjoyed sitting outside, dipping the chicken in the variety of salsas from the salsa bar! Very flavorful sauces! Next time I'm in the area, I'll come back and try the chicken again with some tacos.
