SO GOOD. Everything was delicious and fast. I've been wanting to try a Korean cheese dog for a while and it did not disappoint.
Delicious korean street food first time at the restaurant, enjoyable friendly associates. Thanks
I went here during a busy Saturday night so there was only bar top seating available. The environment was so laid back and cool. I had always wanted to try a cheese corn dog and here I was able to experience it. It was really good! Only thing is I forgot to mention no mustard so I wasn't able to enjoy it to the fullest (personal preference and my fault) For sure want to bring my friends here, feels like a place you can get some good food and drinks and hang out with friends!
We are in town for a concert and we’re trying to decide where to eat. We put some restaurant names in a bowl and picked. Merge was picked and it did not disappoint. I got a eastender for a cocktail. It’s Green grape Soju, yuzu marmalade, fresh lemon juice, agave and soda. It was a bit on the sour side but delicious. We got the loaded fries. This is seasoned Fries topped with grilled beef bulgogi, lime crema, sweet and spicy sauce. The fries were cooked perfectly. They were able to remain crunchy with the sweet and spicy sauce on them. That sweet and spicy sauce was amazing. Great flavor. We got the large wings. These were fried to perfection wings with soy garlic and more of that sweet spicy sauce. I couldn’t stop eating them. . Crunchy and flavorful. We also had the cheese corn dog and the jalapeño corn dog. Great flavor and great crunch. I also tried the beef bulgogi. Also extremely flavorful. The umami bombs had a great teriyaki and spicy mayonnaise sauce that complimented the Korean bbq sauce. The service was topnotch and the food was fun and delicious.
The wife and I went to Merge for dinner tonight. Did small plates and wings. Pictured are the Umami Bombs (Fried mushrooms stuffed with beef, Korean BBQ sauce, and teriyaki and topped w/ spicy mayo), the Jalapeno Cheddar Pepper Jack Corn Dog, and Double Fried Wings in Sweet & Spicy Gochujang sauce.Also had drinks. I had a MKE Fresh, which was excellent, while Andrea had the Merge Old Fashioned which she found slightly watery. We aren't big drinkers, so this doesn't have much bearing on our overall review.Service was fast, food was amazing! We will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu!
Fried chicken was soggy and not crispy (see images). You can see that the edges of the breading are turning pale like when your skin is in water for too long. Pick-and-save chicken is crispier.Tteokbokki is bland and watery. You can tell that the sauce doesn’t even stick on to the rice cakes or noodles.2-stars because the chicken doesn’t taste horrible, it just doesn’t taste anything like Korean fried chicken.
I have been a long time supporter for take out and dine in of Merge. I have actually never had any problems til yesterday. My sister and I ordered take out and I was very much disappointed. Our wings & drums had so much feathers on them! I know it is not easy cleaning chicken wings but at least remove the feathers that can be seen. It was not very appealing/appetizing to see feathers on my wings. I ended up tossing out a good amount of wings because they had full on feathers on them.
The food is outstanding and the wait staff is Terrific.
Stopped in Saturday night around 6:30p. 4-6 groups of people just standing around. I asked to be placed on a waitlist, and was told to just return in a half hour. I don't mind a wait, but there should definitely be something set in place so people aren't skipped over. I did decide to dine in elsewhere, but I definitely can't wait to eat there again!
Love the atmosphere, the feel of the place made me feel so welcome and comfortable, all the staff were wonderful the whole time, and the food...... IT WAS AMAZING!!!
