This store needs to update their hours and they’re social medias if they’re open or not. On Google, it shows that they’re open but couple days ago when my friends and I arrived to the location, there’s a sign said they’re closed. We also tried to called the restaurant to see if they’re open today but no one answered.

Came all the way here and they were closed. When it said online they were open. I really don't appreciate wasting my time and unaware why they are closed. Sign just says closed, no reasoning.

I don’t know if their hours are incorrect but every time I go they’re closed. And I’ve tried calling.

The food is always hot n tasty when we visit. The corn dogs are one of my favorite items and very fun to eat!
Some of the best wings in the City hands down. The atmosphere is great if you're looking for a chill place to be with friends. In the pricey end but worth it. The service is okay, they don't necessarily seem friendly but not unfriendly either so you be the judge.

My wife and I have been to Merge on a few occasions and generally have had a decent time. However, this time was not as good. Overall, the food was very okay, and the service was about as basic as one might get anywhere. We ordered dumplings, which we usually like, but they weren't seasoned much at all, and my wife's vegetable dumplings were mushy at best with the flavor of water. Her fries were decent, and the kimchi was very good, but my bulgolgi left much to be desired. The portions are fair for the price, but there are definitely better places for slightly more relatively nearby. They also upcharge some drinks a tad too much, noted mainly by the 60-cent can of ginger beer that I received yet paid 3 dollars and 60 cents for. Our waiter also touched the tops of our straws directly for our drinks and didn't wash his hands after clearing dirty dishes and then proceeded to make drinks. Other experiences we've had there have been more positive, but it seems like it may be a mixed bag on service and food quality.
Vegetarian options: There are mostly Kimchi related vegetarian items, but they are fairly decent because the kimchi is fresh.
Food and atmosphere were great but service was terrible. I used to come here alot earlier in the year and the service was great now they moved to a digital QR code to look and order off the menu. There were two bartenders/servers that came and brought us our food. That was the only time she came to our table. The two ladies were so busy flirting and chatting with a guy at the bar and being on their phone that we did not get any refills on drinks or asked if the food was okay. Then the two girls disappeared outside for almost ten minutes with the guy at the bar. Someone from door dash came in at that time and had to wait for them to come back after a while since their concerns were elsewhere instead of their jobs. I also saw one of the servers/bartenders take a couple big gulps of a drink at the bar through out the time we were there which is very unprofessional she even seemed like she was a little tipsy. They also started playing explicit music over the speakers which is not really family friendly. Overall food was great but they really need to work on their service. Hopefully the managers are seeing these reviews!
Excellent Korean fried chicken. Surprised that it isn't higher rated or more popular. Recommend the soy garlic glaze. Best deal is on Wednesdays when they have half off wings. Tteotbokki was decent but not great - I'd recommend sticking with the wings.

Went to Merge the other day for dinner. The food used to be good. Not so much anymore. I got the chicken wings and teokbokki, both of which used to be my favorite. The chicken wings were undercooked so I just picked at it, and the teokbokki tasted bland. Not sure if there was a change in ownership or management, but how it’s being ran now doesn’t make much sense. You have to order food from a QR code posted on the table and then go up to the bar to order drinks.
This place used to be really great, I love the food. Used to come here every few months. They did some change recently where there’s no wait staff anymore. But they didn’t tell us, so we waited to see if any server would come over and take our drink order, but no one said anything except where to sit. I don’t think they had any waitstaff besides one bartender. You order and pay via QR code. But you can’t order drinks there, you have to go up to the bar. I wish they would have at least said something so we’d know about the change. After dropping off the waters, never saw the server again. It wasn’t busy at all despite being a friday dinner, about 4-5 tables over 90min. By 7pm they ran out of all wings, vegetables, and a few of the apps. I don’t think I’d return unless I sat at the bar. If they don’t want wait staff, might be better to just have an order-at-the-front kiosk so I can order my drinks and food on the same bill.

Very underwhelmed by the food. The bulgogi was a bit dry. I knew going into it that the "Korean Fried Chicken" wings would be American style with Korean flavor influences. If you want good Korean food there are better options nearby. This won't scratch the itch.

I'm not a fan of them strictly using single use plastic ware. Just feels cheap, and its not sustainable.That being said, their chicken wings are fantastic. Much of their cocktails are made with soju, so they are not very strong but are tasty.The menu is on a QR code at the tables, so don't forget your smart phone.I highly recommend the dish that I couldn't pronounce, but it was a spicy ramen, rice cake, and fish cake dish with gochuchang sauce. Highly recommend, but be ready to get messy and don't wear white.The dumplings 7.0/10Chicken wings 8.4/10Korean street food soup ?? 7.2/10

Was excited to get food for takeout tonight, placed an order through their website, and arrived at 6:45, the time stated on the website. Arrived and the restaurant was closed and locked up.

Out of towner review. Dispite a few small things keeping us from giving 5 stars, we loved our dinner at Merge! First of all, the vibe inside doesn’t match the vibe outside. From the outside it feels sleek and modern, but the inside feels very much like a college bar. The service was excellent and the food was great, especially the wings!!! We also got beef and pork bulgogi and the meat on both was a little dry. Overall, it was great and will def go back.
