The crunch factor is epic and they are paired perfectly with the spicy ketchup they offer. Keep up the excellent work and we will be forever customers!

I see now why they do not have prices on their website and why at prime lunch time know one was there. I know there is inflation and restaurant priced have gone up but that just seems like a rip off.

Only thing we both thought was the chicken could be cut up a little more or there could be more chicken slices but overall I liked it!

I've been here once before and had their hot dog, which I actually really liked. So I decided to…read morecome back and try something different this time--I ordered the garlic pepper wings, fries, and a drink (about $35 total). Unfortunately, that turned out to be a big mistake. When I opened the container, the wings looked like they just had minced garlic thrown on top with the chicken sitting on chopped lettuce with no real seasoning. I gave them a try anyway since I paid so much. But they tasted like old oil--almost a fishy flavor--which was really off-putting. I instantly started feeling sick and ended up throwing the whole meal away. I broke the chicken just to make sure it was all cooked because of the taste and it was fully cooked. Super disappointing, especially since I had a good first experience with the hot dog. If I ever come back, I'll definitely stick to that. But I'm still feeling sick from it.

Rebecca was running the truck with her husband, and they were warm, friendly, and hard-working. That same care reflected in the food. Comforting flavors, big portions, and just what we needed. ---- Food ---- The hot dogs here are big, delicious, and fantastic value for the price. Wushu Dog: Loved this one. Inventive and delicious. Great texture, topped with pork sung and crispy cabbage, plus katsu sauce and Japanese mayo. Savory, crunchy, and satisfying. Sumo Dog: Japanese curry beef chili with cheese and fresh scallions. Hearty, comforting, and perfect for that chilly evening. Fried Foods: We didn't try, any but they serve fries and potstickers too. The fries seemed to be a crowd favorite at Great Notion Brewery next door (which is partnered with Dojo Dog). Definitely getting them next time. Rebecca told me she enjoys experimenting with new dishes, and the creativity shows. Looking forward to trying more! ---- Drinks ---- We didn't but drinks as we were enjoying beer at Great Notion, but Dojo Dog also offer drinks like milk tea. ---- Bonus ---- As I mentioned, they partner with Great Notion, one of our FAVORITE bars in the Bay with the best smoothie beers and stouts. You can bring your Dojo Dog inside and pair it with their awesome beers. Inventive hot dogs + beer = awesome evening ---- Vibe ---- Cute little food truck, family-run charm, friendly service, and an endearing hole-in-the-wall feel. The whole setup feels local and community-driven. In fact, it was originally created by Berkeley students. Very cool. ---- Overall ---- Amazing hot dogs, great beer next door, friendly owners, inventive sides, and a fun, low-key vibe. It will hit the spot every time. Can't wait to come back and try more from their menu!

I've been coming to Bongo Burger since the 80s, and it still holds a special place for me. This is…read morewhere I first tried their Persian Burger, and to this day, it's the one thing I have to order every time I'm back in Berkeley. I was in town recently and made a point to stop by, and it brought back all the same memories. The Persian Burger is still packed with flavor, with that distinct seasoned taste that sets it apart from a typical burger. It feels more like something you would get at a backyard cookout with a unique twist than a standard fast food option. It's filling, a little messy, and completely worth it. One thing I noticed on this visit is how generous the portions still are. The burgers are big, the fries come out hot and crispy, and everything feels like it is made to satisfy. The menu has grown over the years too, with more options for different tastes, but the original favorites clearly still shine. The atmosphere has not changed much, which I appreciate. It is casual, a little busy at times, and very much in that classic Berkeley style where the focus is on the food rather than the setting. The staff kept things moving even during a rush, and the overall experience felt smooth. After all these years, it is impressive how consistent Bongo Burger has been. It is not trying to be trendy or reinvent itself. It just keeps doing what it has always done well. For me, that Persian Burger alone is enough reason to keep coming back.
