Pamela L.

A superhero needs to come and save these sandwiches. K-Town Hero is one of the newest stalls to open next to H Mart inside the 2nd largest mall in America. With so many food options my sister wanted to try this place. The sandwiches are created by a Michelin Korean chef, Hooni Kim. All I can say is that both my sister and I were very disappointed. My sister got their popular bulgogi and I opted for their mushroom. Our assessment of the sandwiches is a 4/10. We didn't care for the slightly spicy orange dressing on the sandwiches. There were two types of mushrooms in mine. I was surprised that they used huge button mushrooms. Sure it's meaty but button mushrooms usually lack flavor. Come on, Chef Kim, I expected shiitake instead. My sister let me have some of her kimchi fries. I tried one and didn't want anymore. And this is coming from a huge French fry kind of gal. Don't understand the rave reviews.

Banchan is always fresh and delicious. And they are generous with it. Service is excellent. This is a small mom and pop shop. We always feel welcomed. This is a hidden gem near American Dream Mall.

To start, they give each person 4 different banchan plates - kimchi, seaweed, pickled daikon, and soy bean sprouts. It was nice that we each had our individual set. For food, we decided to each order something different, so we could try a little bit of everything. We had: -Japchae - this was a HUGE portion. But, it was a bit too salty. The flavor was good though. They also jam pack it with lots of veggies and beef. I would recommend it but maybe just ask for less salt, if possible. -Beef bibimbap (hot) - not bad but I've had better -Soon tofu with seafood - this was pretty good but it was pretty hot that day so I wasn't really in the mood for a hot bubbling stew Overall, it wasn't bad. It has a smaller menu than most typical Korean restaurants - but that could be a good thing, if you're an indecisive person. I probably won't be back anytime soon since there are so many Korean restaurants nearby (especially Pal Park) that I need to try first. Tip - there is free street parking

H Mart is the largest Asian market in the United States specializing in Korean and Pan Asian…read moregroceries a bunch of household items and a lot of specialty goods. The H in H Mart stands for "han ah reum" a Korean phrase that means "one armful of groceries ". The store was founded with one single store in Queens New York in 1982 and expanded into a multimillion billion dollar cultural and culinary business with nearly 100 locations in the US and the United Kingdom. We really enjoyed visiting and found so many unique treats that I probably could have used Google translate to look up the macros to some of the foods if that's your thing. There are sorts of household goods, toys, skincare, cakes, unique sodas and drinks, sushi, candy and so much more . It's absolutely incredible and fun with so much to explore it's seriously worth your time it's lot's really a fun experience. We had gone in and grabbed some sushi and it was absolutely delicious. If it was up to me I would take home half the store it has that much unique and worth while things to purchase with really good prices and quality goods you can't go wrong here! 1 American Dream Way East Rutherford New Jersey 07073 Phone: (201)559-3988 Hours: Sunday: 10:00am - 8:00pm Monday: 10:00am - 9:00pm Tuesday: 10:00am - 9:00pm Wednesday: 10:00am - 9:00pm Thursday: 10:00am - 9:00pm Friday: 10:00am - 10:00pm Saturday 10:00am- 10:00pm

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Plenty of Asian food vendors to choose from! 10ish from my count, including Tous de Jous and Gong Cha at the entrance. ++++ Food vendors include BBQ Chicken, Don Don Curry, Sang's Tofu and K-BBQ, Jeong's Noodle, Wok Bar, Gold Miss and many more. + All of the food from the vendors are reasonably priced at $10-$25, with the more expensive entrees being EASILY shareable amongst 2-3 people. Some have Grab and Go sections too. + They have a big retail area to the side that sells stationary, accessories and lifestyle products - beware of letting your young kids into it because you might leave a few bucks light in your wallet! + PLENTY of tables and seats inside, even when crowded. + Right across from the hugeee H Mart food market. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Recently dined in on a Friday evening from 6-7:30 PM and it was prettty busy inside, but still had a lot of open tables. The mall DOES get crazy crowded on Saturday evenings, so can imagine the same happening in the H Mart Food Hall as well during peak lunch and dinner dining times.

My cousins from Canada visited for the first time and wanted to try Korean corn dogs. I forget the…read morename of the exact stall but I ordered two corn dogs and although they took a little while to be prepared, they tasted pretty good. I will warn that the batter is a bit thick so I heavily advise you eat over the container so it doesn't drop off the stick and onto the floor. The hotdog or sausage they used tasted better than the cheese too (in my opinion). And I love that right outside there is a plethora of sauces you can drizzle on top! Ordering was done via a self service kiosk too and then you took a little buzzer that went off when your order was ready which was cute.

I thought a small order would only have 8 pieces, like wings normally would but it was massive. So essentially, our order was the equivalent of four small orders for two people but it was SO much chicken. We ordered way too much because I underestimated how big one order would be (but I'm not complaining)! We had leftovers for days so needless to say, I was sick of Korean fried chicken by the end of it. I really liked the spicy soy garlic but didn't love the sweet and spicy. It's really heavy on the honey, if you're into that. The chicken comes with a side of pickled daikon cubes. Next time, I'd like to see what the cheese snowing chicken is all about. Plus they're other non-fried chicken dishes look pretty good and are reasonably priced as well. Overall, it's a good bang for your buck!!
