    This place still takes my breath away. Every single time. Delicious! Always a recommended place to satisfy your hunger! And the owner (I think she's the owner) is always super nice!

    Make sure you read the menu carefully before ordering. We stopped by to get some corn dog on our way home. Was super excited to try this place. This place is located in a small plaza with parking. The lady is super nice and there is a small seating area for those who wants to enjoy their corn dog inside. We ordered 4 and 6 and took ours to go. As we're eating out corn dog, we realized our corn dog was just filled with cheese...and more cheese...endless amount of cheese. My spicy dog wasn't spicy at all either and when we got to the end of our corn dog, we finally found the hot dog. Very tiny hot dog. We then realized that we basically ordered a cheese corn dog. It was very surprising but it was still very good! I want to come back to this place and try #1!

    Pretty good ! There was a little wait time to have them ready ! But the people were nice and all the hotdogs were extremely fresh ! There is a little parking lot area which was a plus and they give you a free spicy Mayo to eat with them ! I took off one star because the sausage in the cheddar one was half of a link. The premium sausage has an entire sausage link not the others ! So order with that in mind (I didn't).They were also out of the potato one which is what I really wanted to try !

    Unique flavors. Creative combos. Hotdogs and sausages handled specially. Fried, crunchy, crispy, and not oily. My first time here. We bought 3 items. 1) potato with mozzarella - best one of them all. Stringy, warm, gooey hot cheese with crunchy and tender potato bits 2) spicy sausage with mozzarella -- good, same cheese action going on but the sausage could have been spicier 3) hotdog with mozzarella -- hotdog bits were good but hard to find. There was more cheese than meat Lastly, they've got a bunch of sauces to choose from. They recommended spicy mayo for both dogs. For the potato/cheese one, they recommended rolling in sugar. Spot on with their recos. Friendly fast service too!

    It was so good! I knew it was made fresh because the cashier told us to wait about 10 minutes. The wait was sooooo worth it. Topping inside number 13 was the bomb!

    These were some reallyy crispy and delicious hot dogs!!! I thought they were only available in NY; I didn't know there would be some in NJ! I ordered the Potato Mozz Stick & Cheddar Sausage Hot Dog! It took about 5-10 minutes to make them. Taste wise, they were so much better than I expected! They were hot, super crispy and not too oily. Also they were very filling. Ketchup, mustard and sugar were provided. I've never had hot dogs with sugar before but it actually tasted good with the hot dogs! The business is not in a really busy area but it's definitely worth coming here to try out these korean style hot dogs!

    My son found this place a while back and we decided to order takeout from here on my visit. The place shares a store with CM Chicken and we also ordered from there as well (separate review). There is a small seating area, but takeout is their primary business model. To explain what this is, I consider it an elevated corn dog. The dog is put on a stick and coated like a corn dog, but the additional possible combinations on top of that is what elevates it. We called ahead and the lady was quite nice on the phone, as well as in person. We ordered the Potato Premium Sausage Hotdog. Simply put, it is a corn dog covered with french fries. It's a meal unto itself! It was quite different from the usual corn dog you may have and there are many options to choose from. I'll ask to go back to try other combinations if my son agrees, which I know he'll do since he's been multiple times.

    I love hot dogs. The wait is long. It's best eaten hot. As I take my first bite, I love the perfect crunchiness of the outside. The mozzarella cheese oozes out nicely. I take another bite and another. Where is the hot dog? "Dog" gone-it! I ordered the wrong one. Don't forget to use their sauce & topping station. The spicy mayo went well with my Mozz Cheese Stick. I also coated it with some sugar. YUM!!! Service was friendly. Expect to wait as they are crazy busy.

    I'm so happy I found this place!!! They're delicious! I've ordered 2x for pick up and they never disappoint! The lady that works there is super nice! I wish i asked for her name :-( Also, bonus points is they have private parking! Go try them!

    Awesome little place that servers Korean style hotdogs, cheese sticks and Korean Fried Chicken

    TBH started watching Netflix's K Drama "Start Up", saw the hot dogs, immediately needed to find some in NJ. The place is intertwined with CM Chicken so you get a two for one! The lady was so helpful, enthusiastic, and welcoming. She gave a mini tutorial on how to roll in the sugar and squeeze the spicy Mayo/ ketchup. **Tip: There's 2 Spicy Mayos 1)Spicy Mayo 2) Spicy Spicy Mayo In total there is 8 items to choose from (the 9th is potato mozzarella hotdog, ask about it )and I have to say that 2 was filling enough for me. It's not like your typical corn dog/ hotdog . It was crunchy, melted, cheesy, very well constructed, and the hotdog were juicy delicious! Definitely need to come back for more and next time I'm going to try their chicken. I recommend this place if your craving a unique homemade Korean hotdog

    Seo H.

    My husband really wanted try something new. I wanted to try Korean hotdogs for a while. Yelped it and it brought us here. The place was small but very clean. It takes about 10 min for 4 to come out and there's a little station where you can do your own sauces. I will be coming back!! It was amazing and the guy behind the desk was so nice

    A cute little shop with awesome Korean corn dogs! They have the perfect crispy texture and ooey gooey inside. The ladies working there are really sweet too with fast service. It is connected to CM chicken so you can order Korean fried chicken too if you wanted. Toppings include sugar, honey mustard, ketchup, spicy Mayo, and ranch. I think that is all

Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

I found out much later that the owner was the one actually serving and cooking for us. We were able to walk in with a party of ten on labor day. Super accommodating staff, owner knows what he's doing. Never caught his name unfortunately We ordered 4 different combos and dude was able to cook for all of us at the same time. Everyone left stuffed and I even had leftovers for the next day. I didn't get to eat everything but here's what I tried. The duck combo, pork combo, nayengmen (cold noodle I butchered the spelling I know sorry) and corn cheese. They don't do the brisket sauce like they do in la. Instead I think it was a mixture of miso and vinegar? With onions soaking in it. Paired perfectly with the pork. I've never had anything like it before. The thin cut pork belly was probably my favorite out of all the pork. The marinated duck combo was pretty interesting. It kinda felt like a ttkekbokki dish? But a little light on the rice cakes. The duck itself tasted like some really good charcuterie. It was a little too spicy for me but super good. We ended up opting to throw everything into the fried rice at the end and it made for some perfect late night leftovers that I'm enjoying as I write this review. Lovely place, hope they do well. V fast paced environment and loud, they get your food out, and you can tell that a lot of hard work and love goes into the food. Thank y'all

I really liked the gomtang as the flavors were really rich especially when elevated by the pepper. - Seolleongtang - Clear and beautiful broth that went really well with salt. I felt like the meat was not as tender as I hoped but still made me think of my favorite Korean restaurant where I grew up. - Kong-guksu - I didn't know what to expect of this dish as I've never heard of it or tried it before but I didn't really like the dish.

I ended up dumping the Korean Pickled Onion banchan in which helped elevate the flavor a lot. - Mini KimchiJeon - When I read this off the menu, I though the kimchi pancake would be extremely small but it turned out to be quite bit and very delicious.

    Kim Ga Meon Ok is a fantastic, relatively affordable Korean spot and definitely a local favorite!…read moreThey have two locations (one in Fort Lee and this one in Palisades Park), but I usually visit the Pal Park location right across from King Sauna on Commercial Ave. The setup here is entirely self-service. You order at the front and pick up your food when it's ready. It's actually a really convenient system, and since there is no table service, there's no expectation to leave a gratuity. The food itself is consistently good. The parking lot is very, very small and shared with the cafe next door, so parking can be a squeeze. Because it's so popular, it gets very busy during prime dining hours. Even when I've ordered takeout, there can sometimes be a decent wait to get your food so I recommend order online or over the phone ahead. They do charge a little extra if you pay with a credit card to cover the fees. If you visit during the summer months, you absolutely have to try the Naeng Myeon (cold noodle soup) or the Bibim Naeng Myeon (spicy cold noodles). They really hit the spot and are incredibly refreshing. Highly recommend!

They rotate the banchans and we get something a little different each time we go and they're all very good. One thing that really stands out is their steamed eggs. It's fluffy, hearty, flavorful and it's always my kids' favorite. The meats are of good quality and I'm obsessed with their aged kimchi which comes with any pork order so make sure you request it. The service is great as they come and grilled the meats for you and they always grill it to perfection. The only downside side is I remembered they used to take reservations if you have a party if 7 or more but this is no longer the case. We wanted to come here for a party of 8 on the weekend and they don't take reservations on weekends so we almost never make it as a big group because there's normally a very long wait time unless you come super early.

For dipping, you get a choice of garlic scallion sauce, soybean paste (ssamjang), or just salt -- all solid options depending on what you're grilling. Service was attentive and quick to help with the grill and refills without being intrusive. The restaurant has a big dedicated parking lot, which made getting in and out so much easier. Will definitely be back to try out the intestine options.
