This Korean hotdog spot is hands down one of the most fun and delicious food experiences around. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is upbeat, casual, and perfect for grabbing a quick bite with friends or satisfying a late-night craving. The Korean corn dogs are the real star here. Crispy on the outside with that signature crunchy coating, and soft, cheesy goodness on the inside--every bite is insanely satisfying. Whether you go for the classic sausage, the half mozzarella combo, or one of the loaded options rolled in toppings like potatoes or crunchy crumbs, you really can't go wrong. The texture alone is next level. What makes these Korean-style hotdogs stand out is the variety and creativity. They're not just your average corn dogs--they're coated in panko or unique toppings and often filled with gooey cheese, which gives them that iconic stretch and flavor people love . The sauces take everything up another notch. Sweet, spicy, tangy--mix and match to your taste and you've got a flavor combo that hits every time. Pair it with a side like tteokbokki or fries, and it turns into the perfect comfort meal. Overall, this spot nails it with flavor, texture, and creativity. If you've never had a Korean corn dog before, this is the place to try it--and if you have, you already know why it's worth coming back again and again. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Potato Mozzarella Corndog
Viviana C.

This place was small and cute. Not too much seating. More like a grab a go vibe. I got the potato mozzarella corndog and was slightly disappointed they didn't offer sugar to be sprinkled on top but then again I was too shy to ask if it was an option lol (next time for sure) they did however have a few dressings on the side that you could drizzle on yourself. As for the taste it was a little more on the bland side compared to others I've tried. I also got a mango green tea that I absolutely LOVED and will definitely be back for another at some point. As for the service... it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best? It was quick with minimal interaction so I guess it's pretty good for introverts who don't like to talk lol

Mozzarella Hot Cheetos &  Whole Mozzarella with spicy mayo

Was on the hunt for a cheese dog since two hands closed and this one wasn't as crispy as I had hoped it would be and the sauce options weren't what I expected. Service was good though!

Chocolate, sugar and churro

Since traditional mochi donuts are gluten free I decided to get some. The donuts are 3 for $10. They also have mochi holes but an out. The donuts that o got basically all tasted the same. It was pretty much the same donut with different coatings. Service was fast and accurate. This is set up like a traditional donut shop. Small tables and large donut display. Ample parking in the lot outside.

first time trying this type of donut my kids loved it highly recommend great customer service the gentleman at the counter. He guided me in the right direction iced coffee is great. Definitely will be back with my girls.

Corn dog
Johanna S.

Stopped by this place to try some of the corn dogs and they were delicious. Customer service was also great. The donuts were delicious . I would definitely recommend and will be going back.

What a concept! Combining mochi and donut seems like a brilliant idea after the fact. The mochi provides more density and chewiness than the traditional donut dough, and the interesting flavors for the filling add another dimension to the donut experience. I love the strawberry and the ube flavors. I wish I could try more, but my waistline is already expanding and I can't further sacrifice my health for a momentary bliss. Service was not unfriendly but efficient, and the mochinuts in the display case were all tantalizing. The brightly colored posters were effective in drawing anyone walking by. The neon-pink containers also help advertise their products. The marketing department really got it right. Parking is always a nightmare at this shopping center, but that's beyond the control of any one business. It's a testament of a bustling economy and a collection of hip restaurants.

The donuts were good. Their flavors change every Friday. I really liked the dark chocolate and strawberry. I would order here for parties

Our corn dogs
Gustavo E.

The many kinds of corn dogs offered here at Chungchun (or is it Mochinut) caught me off guard. I had been here once before a long time ago and could have sworn there wasn't that many on the menu, just the plain original one, one with cheese and then a spicy one. I ordered the Hot Cheetos and my girlfriend had the Original. We both enjoyed them, and we liked how they give you a little cup of spicy mayo, as well as some ketchup and mustard. So many different way to try it and give it flavor :) . I will say the only thing I didn't like was the way the Hot Cheetos one was breaded. It was more like soft and the cheeto dust would fall off every time I took a bite. The original was a lot more crunchy and seemed to have the right amount of breading on it. It was still pretty good though, overall, I would come back here to try some of the other stuff on the menu because I love how much variety they offer and how quick the service is too. Come give it a try if you are tired of plain old American corn dogs.

I was in the Artesia area today and suddenly craving for Korean cheese dog. Chunghun is right around the corner on South St. It is a small little shop merged with Mochinuts. Sweet and Savory all in one place. You can order your food through the cashier and once the order is ready they will call your order number on the receipt. I order the basic mozzarella half ( with half hot dog) . There is defiitely crispiness, I ate it super fresh and hot right when it came out. but still not impressive. The prices is fair for $4.50. I've had better cheese dog in the past. I might give another item a chance when If I do return.

Hot Cheetos original
Laura L.

This place is more of a 3.5z service was good and the hotdogs stuff is bomb. Their actual mochinut doughnuts and drinks though were meh. The doughnuts tasted stale and not springy like the other locations' and the drinks were way too sweet. I love the design and how it looked though so will def be back for food.

Hot Cheetos, Hot Cheetos Mozzarella, Potato Mozzarella with hotdog, Half and Half. Not bad.
Ozzy R.

Not bad. But not impressive either. I see these things all over ig so I wanted to see if it was all hype. I had a great experience over all. Not complaining. But was it worth coming back for? Nah. But that's just me. Off top, the place was clean, covid safe and the staff is super cool. I really appreciate good service. Now, back to the dawgs lol I ordered the mozzarella and sausage one and the one with potatoes. Both were good. Super crunchy and I can tell they were made fresh. After a few bites, it just feels like I'm not eating tea food. Just chewing on dough. Not much sausage but that's ok because the crunch makes up for it. My party really enjoyed the hot Cheetos covered ones. Those were the real winners. They messed up my order and gave me the wrong corn dog. I didn't realize until later because the half/half is at the bottom. By the time I realized, I'm almost full. So even though they made it right, I can't fit anymore. So I gave it away. Price? It was about $25 for 6 dogs. Not bad. In conclusion, they look cute on insta, but after a few bites, it's too much to just chew on. Not much. Won't be back but glad I tried it. Thanks guys.

You can't order a single mochi nut. You have to buy a box. They should offer to sell singles. Tried 3 of the corn dogs. My husband and I shared. He wasn't impressed. Too much breading or too much mochi, and it tasted stale. I liked the Hot Cheetos but it was oily.

Is the corn dog gluten free since it's a rice batter?

Is anything gluten free?

Just called the restaurant. Employee there said nothing on the menu is gluten free.

I'd say no. It's rice batter and bread crumbs. I haven't seen a gluten free batter option but it doesn't hurt to call and ask just in case

What kind of meat do they use for the hotdog?

Korean hotdog meat. They also use no meat. And they also use all cheese. #9. They have an all beef dog #7 and last they have sausage. Hope that helps

Do they have turkey hotdogs or just beef?

No turkey dog. Didn't see one.

If they're "rice" hotdogs does this mean they're gluten free?

Mondays-Thursdays: 10:00pm Fridays-Sundays: 10:30pm

What time do you open?

The entrees we tried were - tteokgalbi: it was okay, could've been grilled a little longer - gamja tang (regular spicy): the taste lacked a bit of a kick, but it came with plenty of meat and vegetables - galbi tang : the soup was very savory and there was plenty of beef! :)

Came here mainly for the Giant Chicken Katsu, and the size definitely lives up to the name. It's…read morehuge, but not just because of the breading--the chicken itself has a good thickness and stays juicy inside. The outside was crispy, and it comes with curry and rice, so the portion is very filling. We also ordered the Rice Ball, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Spicy Chicken with Cheese. The rice ball was simple but good with the fried food, and the shrimp fried rice was a solid option for kids. The spicy chicken with cheese was richer and heavier, with plenty of melted cheese on top. Overall, the Giant Chicken Katsu was the standout for us and the dish I'd come back for. Good casual Korean comfort food spot in Cerritos.

Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 This place is going downhill, which is so unfortunate. I used to love coming here years ago. We got the $50 combo of tteokbokki and fried whole chicken. Is the tteokbokki in the combo supposed to be smaller than the normal one? The portion was comical, filling up maybe 1/3 of the giant white bowl. There were hardly any toppings on there. The cheese was literally a strip. I know this place isn't Yupddeok but they do a whole swirl on the bowl there. Yikes. And the chicken was... mediocre at best. Very anorexic chicken. And they wanted to charge an extra $2 for sauce. Yeah, we left hungry and unhappy. My sister talked about getting McDonald's on the way home. My husband said we should've gone to Chili's. Next time, we'll make the drive to Yukddeok for tteokbokki. Service was good though, our server was very sweet. I wish I got his name but he was working the evening shift and had black hair and a black t-shirt with Gengar on it. He's the only reason the review got two stars instead of one.

It came with an assortment of toppings that added a lot of texture and flavor when mixed all together. The soba sauce was light, but it was packed with umami and super refreshing - perfect for a hot summer day. Overall, everything was delicious and I love the vibe of the restaurant with the BlackPink posters and KPop playing in the background. The owner and staff were friendly and attentive as well.

I love what the new ownership has done with this familiar Korean eatery. It has been transformed…read moreinto one of the area's premier destinations for authentic Korean comfort food, embracing the traditions of slow-cooked, homestyle recipes passed down through generations. Every dish reflects a dedication to Korean culinary heritage, arriving at the table bubbling, sizzling, and steaming with irresistible aromas. Step inside and you are welcomed by the comforting scent of toasted sesame, simmering garlic, and richly fermented broths that instantly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and unpretentious, capturing the feeling of gathering around a family dinner table. The menu celebrates soulful Korean classics with bold fermented flavors, slow-simmered stews, casseroles, salad wrap combinations, noodle dishes, and grilled fish, alongside shareable favorites like Korean chive pancakes, seafood pancakes, and abalone porridge. Every meal begins with one of the best complimentary spreads of banchan in town. The assortment is vibrant, tangy, spicy, and refreshingly diverse, featuring dishes that are increasingly difficult to find at many Korean restaurants. Our table included a variety of namul (seasoned vegetables), steamed eggplant, creamy Korean potato salad, japchae, and wonderfully fresh kimchi. Each side dish provided its own balance of flavor and texture while perfectly complementing both steamed rice and the main courses. **Dwaeji Bossam (Steamed Pork with Napa Cabbage) + Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) Combo, plus banchan - $45.99** The bossam showcases beautifully prepared pork belly that is incredibly moist, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth rich without any unwanted pork odor. Thin slices of pork are elegantly arranged like ribbons and served alongside an impressive assortment of accompaniments: spicy julienned radish kimchi (musaengchae), sliced raw garlic, fresh jalapeños, ssamjang (sweet and savory fermented soybean chili paste), saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), carrot and cucumber sticks, crisp green leaf lettuce, and blanched napa cabbage for wrapping. Every condiment serves a purpose. The crunchy radish kimchi cuts through the richness of the pork with bright acidity and spice. The saeujeot delivers an intensely savory burst of umami, while the ssamjang contributes a balanced combination of sweetness, heat, and fermented depth. Wrapped together inside fresh lettuce or tender napa cabbage, every bite becomes an explosion of contrasting textures and harmonious flavors. The accompanying doenjang jjigae is equally satisfying. The fermented soybean paste creates a deep, aged savoriness that is rich yet mellow, supported by anchovy stock, garlic, and just enough heat from sliced jalapeños. A slightly thickened broth envelopes silky tofu, tender zucchini, onions, and potatoes, creating one of Korean cuisine's most comforting stews. **Eun Daegu Jorim (Braised Black Cod) - $48.99** The braised black cod is another standout. Buttery, flaky pieces of fish are gently simmered in a glossy reduction that perfectly balances savory, sweet, spicy, and umami flavors. Thick chunks of radish slowly absorb the rich braising liquid until they become almost as satisfying as the fish itself. Just before serving, the dish is finished with freshly diced green onions that contribute brightness and a subtle bite to this deeply comforting classic. Service deserves special recognition. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. My family felt immediately at ease from the moment we walked through the door. The servers anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, quietly refilling water glasses and clearing finished plates with thoughtful timing. What impressed me most was the kindness they showed my mother, treating her with genuine warmth, sincere compliments, and the type of hospitality that made us feel less like customers and more like welcomed guests in someone's home. This restaurant beautifully showcases everything that makes Korean comfort food so beloved: slow-cooked recipes made entirely from scratch, deeply flavorful stews, generous portions, exceptional banchan, and heartfelt hospitality. Between the authentic homestyle cooking, robust flavors, and caring service, it has quickly become one of the finest places in the area to experience the warmth and comfort of traditional Korean cuisine.

There are so many Korean food choices around Cerritos and La Palma adjacent areas…read more Nearly all have a specific type of food preparation different from each other. This location has served cold noodle soup (mulnaengmyun) all the years we have come. The most recent owner is also female, and her kitchen and front end staff are all female. By far, this serves the best cold noodle soup and thin chewy buckwheat noodles. The hot summer days certainly bring in a crowd! The side dishes or banchan change frequently, my favorites are the tomato and apple, onion and parsley plus the house made kimchi. Occasionally they have the white or non spicy kimchi which is so delicious and refreshing. We often get the combo cold noodle with beef bulgogi (thin sliced marinated beef) or kalbi (LA style short rib sliced across and marinated then grilled). Love the bossam plate :boiled pork belly served with vegetables for wrapping. Also good is the marinated chicken & veggie wraps combo. The gamjeatang or pork spare rib spicy stew if full of tender pork and stewed vegetables, that I feel is a healthy alternative to the grilled meats. The boochoo neon (I hope I spelled that correctly) or chive pancake is done so well here: tender and crispy on the edges. Great for sharing as an appetizer. They also have a barley dish that is mostly vegetarian with spicy sauce. Very glad they are open daily and until 9 pm (last call is about 830). Many families and golf buddies or business partners frequent the place. Quiet, thankfully has A/C cranked to cold most year round, so you can enjoy your meal in comfort. The manager (Joy) and servers are unfailingly quiet and priced excellent service.

The broth was rich, savory, and slightly spicy with that tangy kimchi flavor. The pork bone meat was sooo tender and literally fell apart! The dipping sauce made it even better too. It had a little mustardy kick that went perfectly with the pork. We also added the cheese fried rice and definitely recommend it! Crispy on the bottom, cheesy, and so flavorful from the leftover broth. The bossam was also really good! Loved the pork wrapped in napa cabbage which adds a fresh, crunchy texture to every bite. And of course, we had to get the kimbap! So delicious and the perfect bite to go with everything else. Definitely coming back when I'm craving Korean comfort food!

Dinner was on a Wednesday…read morenight and walking up to it, I was surprised it right next to a restaurant I hear of all the time but never tried. They had a line and I was tempted to go but I wanted traditional Korean food instead of pocha style food. It was kind of quiet around 5:30 but by the time I left most tables were filled up--some people eating solo. My honest take of the food is it's like someone's grandparents made it. I'm not Korean so I appreciate the food. It tasted decent but not made with love and that's the difference. You can kind of tell the workers felt rushed or a bit overwhelmed when people started rolling in. Not the friendliest which doesn't matter too much to me, but it's reflected in the food. Tofu soup with the bone in meat was okay. Meat was good (+$4) but the soup was not boiling hot like I saw other soups come out so overall I'd say it's okay. It had a hard time boiling my egg when I dropped it in. The combo I got came with galbi which was decent. Seafood pancake was decent, could have been crispier. The fish I got on the menu right under mackerel, forgot the name but I wouldn't order it again. Felt kind of dry to me. While I don't regret going I left feeling like I won't be back again.
