    Large strawberry fruit tea with boba
    Abegail A.

    Crunchik'n is definitely a must when you're on the boardwalk. Line is long but moves at a decent pace. Beverages come out quick and food not too long afterwards. I enjoyed the hot dog & cheese crunch dog drizzled with spicy mayo, which was super cheesy and filled with about 3 hot dog pieces. If you're in the mood for a turnt up corn dog, this one is for you! It was fried perfectly and had a good crunchy, yet slightly chewy texture. I'd order this without the spicy mayo next time as I'm not sure it really added anything to the crunch dog. I also tried some of the popcorn chicken (the small is the perfect size for a snack), pork dumplings, and beef crunch ball (1 per order). These were also very good, with preference for the popcorn chicken. To drink, I highly suggest the strawberry fruit tea with boba. The boba is cooked perfectly and the strawberry fruit tea isn't too sweet. Get the large, you'll thank me later.

    This tiny shop front on the OC board with a little bit of a waiting line. Food is made relatively quick and a bell goes off when something is done. Good signal to listen to. They also give you a number to be heard when it's called. We got the crunch dog & veggie crunch ball. Both were hot and a very crispy texture. The cheese inside the dog was melted and had that cheese pull. Maybe a little dipping on the side would help but very good still. We preferred the veggie crunch ball though because it had many different flavors inside. The sauce was great for dipping but it was a little spicy so be warned.

    Great alternative to boardwalk pizza, we ordered a honey soy chicken sandwich deluxe with all the fixings, 10 crispy pork dumplings, and 10 piece sweet chili bone in wings (which was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy!) washed it all down with a side of pina colada bubble tea upon recommendations with the friendly staff. great lunch on the go, just watch out for those sneaky gulls!

    Yasss I knew they have locations in Philly but when I saw the location on the boardwalk I just had to get some to go (yes I got it for dinner later so I'm sure it's 10x better eating it fresh and hot). I got the large size honey soy garlic popcorn chicken and then beef japchae to go. It took a bit for the order but there were other people waiting around too! The popcorn chicken flavor is amazing. Really hit the spot for my fried chicken craving. The japchae was nice and hot and had great flavors. There was a lot plenty of beef thrown in the noodles. For $32 I got atleast 3 meals which was totally worth it! Next time I'm coming back to try the corn dogs

    Clearly a popular spot on the boardwalk! We went during the afternoon on a cold, rainy Wednesday and there was still a line of about 8 people. My only complaint would be the wait. It seemed to take a little bit too long to wait on 4 small items, even after the line in front of us had cleared out. But, I can't complain too much because the food was hot and delicious. I got the crunch dog with hotdog and cheese. They splice alternating chunks of each together. The spicy Mayo was a nice touch on top.

    5 giant wings with honey soy sauce and a side of rice

    I had a friend tell me that if I liked Korean fried chicken I had to try this place. It's just a place along the boardwalk to order, no seating but we sat on one of the many benches that line the boardwalk. I ordered 5 wings thinking this wouldn't be enough to fill me up (but it cost almost $11 for just 5 wings). They were pretty big so I appreciated that. The sauce was good, but not as great as what I get at BonChon. A good amount of rice for my side order. I didn't have any cash left so I had to use my card and they added an extra $2 credit card fee so my total for this was about $18.

    Beach Box Medium - popcorn chicken portion

    I'm going to keep this 5 star train running after getting a little bit of everything on the menu delivered. The best part...the twice fried chicken. Got the bites and they were super crispy arguably the item order. Next up were the super crispy dumpling. Deep fried, lots of flavor with a small mildly spicy sweet red dipping sauce. The tacos were massive. A la carte they are about $4.50 each which is expensive but they are stuffed full. Seemed to come on a flour tortilla each with different toppings. The pork and chicken came with shredded lettuce while the tuna came with a sweet chili sauce and julienne cucumber strips. A crunchkin beef ball came with the meal too which was amazing. Spicy creamy siriachi dipping sauce came with it. Order a bulgogi beef cheesesteak a la carte as well to sample everything. Only ate half of it because we were so full from everything else.

    What a great surprise finding legit KFC on the boardwalk here in Ocean City NJ I went with a dozen well done bone in wings, half spicy garlic & soy and half spicy chili. The wings were large, cooked perfectly and spicy. The chili were my favorite and have a nice kick to it. The soy were slightly less successful but very good nonetheless. The challenge was eating them on a bench as they are a messy delight. I ordered the pork dumplings and while they were fresh and piping hot they were ok in my opinion... Next time I will try the boneless wings as I would imagine they are easier to eat.... If you are craving KFC hit this spot.

    I'd like to tell you to stay away. To go and choose another spot. To completely avoid this place…read more Why! Because it was simply the best experience I've had with Korean food and personnel since I've started trying out this cuisine type over the past year. I was joined by my friend who ordered the bulgogi beef (which I did not get the opportunity to taste because it was so good he forgot to offer me a try) as well as a kimbap(?) as an appetizer. I tried a piece of the app and it was scrumptious. He said his entree was spicy but ok the best way. He was content with the portion, the taste, and the plating. I did warn him that most folks who come here do end up needing to bring food home. Boy, was that right. So, be kind and bring your own container(s) so you can delight in your leftovers another day. They do have takeout containers but they do not offer take out. You must dine in. So, please do keep this in mind when coming here. It makes sense because otherwise the transit time to take it offsite to eat your meal elsewhere is just not the same to get the full experience they are giving here along with their culinary expertise. The food came out fresh and with a little bit of wait. Patience may be required but it's so worth the wait. What did I have you are asking ? Well, my first ever japchae. Non-spicy option for me. The way the noodles were, I can't describe it. It's a whole fun experience on top of the goodness of the dish. The place has some modest touches to let you know what sort of cuisine they serve. There is a kimbap (?) bar area and a few tables. I imagine it can fill up quickly at lunch or dinner. I highly suggest arriving early to ensure you don't feel rushed. Definitely support this restaurant, make sure it has a longevity they deserve and continue to educate us - ok me- on the deliciousness of Korean cuisine. Of course, I took home my meal leftovers. And I enjoyed them the next day. The parking is easy and free at the Cardiff plaza.

As we waited for her to return to take our order, we were disappointed when she said that she had to wait to take our order until another table did. At that point, we decided to leave. I want this place to be successful. There aren't many Korean options in this part of south Jersey. Please do better.

For such a simple order during a non-busy time, the wait was extremely disappointing. The restaurant itself also did not leave a good impression. There was an unpleasant smell throughout the place, and overall it just felt unclean and poorly maintained. It made it hard to relax or enjoy the meal. I will say the waitress was the one positive part of the experience. She was friendly, attentive, and did her best to check on us throughout the meal, so I appreciate her effort despite everything else going wrong. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were not good at all. Even the water tasted off, which immediately raised concerns. The miso soup also had a strange taste that seemed wrong from the first bite. We ordered the Ribeye Roll and Crunch Roll, and both were extremely disappointing. The quality and taste honestly had me crossing my fingers hoping I wouldn't end up with food poisoning afterward. Overall, this was not an enjoyable experience and definitely not somewhere I would return to. Between the long wait, the condition of the restaurant, and the poor food quality, I can't recommend this place.

The food is Korean-inspired with some fusion elements, and all of it was nicely executed. Fried chicken bites were a pretty big hit, and the pork buns were good as well - crispier than usual, but still really good. Toppoki was nice too, and have to say that calling it rice gnocchi is pretty smart to make it easier to understand outside the Asian POV. Kimchi paella was essentially kimchi fried rice, but tasty and filling, and the scrape off parts at the bottom, that's rice gold right there. I don't always eat rice, but when I do, I prefer slightly burnt at the bottom of a stone pot. Second visit, I went with fire chicken, which is tasty and has some kick. I did notice that my not Asian colleague was asked if he was sure about the three fire symbols, but I was not :P Space is pretty nice inside too, a nice combination of old and new; the bathroom was nice and clean, and the general feel inside is casual but elegant. I wouldn't be opposed to returning, but would need to know much more about allergy protocols and awareness, which admittedly isn't always a strong point in Asian cuisine.
