Silly and ridiculous menu making fun of basic appetites, nutella corndog sweet potato, cereal! Yes! We four guys dropped in half expecting a mediocre mess of hyped Korean street food but couldn't believe how good all our dogs were! The basic, Nutella, Hot Cheeto, and my sweet potato were all crazy tasty and too easy to eat. We even thought about going again later for a midnight meal. It is a smart setup, both cash with the human or card at the screen to order. Parking is a problem with all the construction. I recommend parking back in the big lot near Buffalo Wild Wings. Hope to see more menu options show up soon, treat gluten free, offer pressure cooked nutrient conscious, and show off more veggies in the batter. Kuma is one of the places I'll recommend to all! read more

Food is okayish but the ladies' restroom is currently out of service which is very inconvenient. I had to go to the nearby theater.

Love finding these little places around campuses when I'm traveling. It's exactly what I was looking for! read more

Flaming Kuma - Hot Dogs Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Quality of the hotdogs was very good, variety is also good. Pricing was average. Getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because of cleanliness. Place was no the cleanest in the seating area and outdoors were bees and wasps swarming all over. Interesting take on the hot dog that's worth a try but not sure it's a destination. Service was average and friendly. read more

Great place to have Korean corn dogs! They got a ton of choices of the corn dogs, the ramen corn dog is good and crispy on the outside and very cheesey. The potato dog is good but a bit starchy and a bit much. Had their chicken sandwich before, they are amazing! Service was friendly and helpful. read more

Flaming Kuma - 3. Potato 5. Ramen - Hot Dogs Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Food quality and taste is very good. Chicken is very tender, crispy, and juicy. However, the spice levels are skewed very low and even after ordering higher spice levels I find the chicken to lack any sort of spice (Nashville hot chicken should be HOT, especially if I ordered atomic or nuclear spice level which is 3 or 4 out of 5!!!). The corn dogs are very good as well, and I prefer to stick with the standard flavors like potato rather than the fun weird ones like churro. The boba is good as well, but the pearls are a little too soft in my opinion. The service is like any other fast food place so I'd say good. Meets expectations. Ambiance is nice and warm and I like the cute look inside the restaurant. read more

The Hot Cheeto Korean Corn dog was pretty good. I've had my fair share of Korean Corndogs and it definitely wasn't at the bottom of that list. The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich was decent at best. The actual chicken itself was cooked well and had a juicy inside but lacked some flavor. I got it in the bomber flavor, which had two of the five 's. I would recommend that if you can handle spice decently, get the one that's a little hotter than bomber which is nuclear, as it lacked a bit of flavor. The bun would have been fine, if not for the burnt edges. The fries were actually really good. They were cooked to crispy perfection. The seasoning was on point. I honestly would come back just for the fries. Overall my experience wasn't too bad. The food was good/ok and the service wasn't bad at all. The cashier was super friendly and made me feel welcome. The food was made to order which was definitely appreciated. I remember going there a few months ago and the interior being nicer, but it almost feels like they haven't been maintaining it. The tables had crumbs everywhere and there was paint chipping in a lot of places. Keep in mind that this establishment started just in the past year. Overall not a bad experience and if you wanna try a korean corndog in West Lafayette this is the place to go. read more

So happy there is a Korean corn dog location near campus! This totally exceeded my expectations. I got the Potato with half mozzarella and half beef sausage. The corn dog was crispy and fresh, and the mozzarella was perfect. The sausage was juicy and tasted really good. My friend got the fries that had hot cheeto dust on it which was also so good. I also want to come back to try the drinks they offer. So happy with my experience here and will definitely come back! read more

I went here for lunch and ordered a chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles and I ordered without pickles and got the mild heat, the sandwich was basically two chicken tenders which appeared to be all white meat possibly breast meat, well proportioned but I thought the price was a little to much, over 10 dollars for a chicken tender sandwich was a to much for me and although there seemed to be a lot of chicken the sandwich as a whole was not very tasty at least for me, I won't go there again for chicken sandwiches but I will probably try the corn dogs at some point, bottom line the chicken sandwich was to expensive and not that great, I will pass but that's not to say someone else might think its a great sandwich for a great deal, to each their own... read more

It's so nice to have a unique restaurant around here. It's a bit small so don't plan on dining in if they're busy. They are an Asian style fast food restaurant so don't expect much interaction from the employees. There are a few tables and chairs outside. You order at a kiosk which was super easy to navigate. The service was fairly quick. We waited for maybe 10 minutes tops. There are multiple options for the inside of your "corn dog" you really could just have a giant mozzarella stick if you want! We did carry out so my picture isn't exactly pretty. I tried the potato with half mozz half beef, and hot buffalo ranch half mozz half beef. These things are HUGE. I can't believe I had two of these AND kuma fries. These were very delicious. I especially loved the kuma fries. It was some kind of sauce like spicy mayo and hot Cheeto dust on top. So good. I was full and couldn't stop eating them. Highly recommend read more

A must try in West Lafayette! The food was very fresh and all the items we tried were very flavorful. We definitely hope to come back to try more flavors. read more

I've tried a few corn dogs (flaming hot cheeto with polish sausage, original with reg sausage and a potato with reg sausage) and also the tater tots. The flavors are very good. The frying always leaves the outside *really* crispy, which is great. But the breading absorbs so much oil it's really hard to eat much here. I also tried the Nashville hot chicken tenders which were good. The food tastes great, but it is difficult to eat because of how much oil is in it. Definitely a snack bar, not a restaurant. No real vegetables, just potato varieties. Prices are very low, possibly too low. The mustard packets are dangerous - looked like brown paste. read more

Such a fun new addition to WL! Not somewhere I would go for a meal, but it's a fun stop to go with friends for a snack. My friends and I all opted for the mozzarella filling, and two of us got the potato and one got the churro. The potato/cheese combination was delicious, and I had a taste of the churro which was sweet potato with cinnamon sugar. Portion sizes are very large! Service was good, but my friend said one of her questions wasn't answered when she ordered. She was also charged for her dipping sauce, and I was not. The shop has a fun atmosphere with plenty of seating and K-pop music and videos playing. Definitely will come back! read more

Flaming Kuma - Hot Dogs Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Random thoughts: These are not corn dogs, nor are they marketed as such. They are hot dogs on a stick that are battered and deep fried, but the batter is not sweet and corn bready like traditional corn dogs. Someone better than me can come up with clever marketing for Korean Style Hot Dogs on a Stick. While you can choose your dog (see pic), for the most part, the batter is the same. They flavor it up with sauces and sprinkles. I tried a plain dog and an upgraded "jumbo hot polish." I fully recommend paying the extra dollar for the Polish dog. It was very good. As a matter fact, it didn't need any of the sauces or sprinkled toppings. It had enough flavor on its own. I personally think this is a novelty restaurant. Not some place I'd go regularly, but def where I'd take out-of-towners for a new experience. Sorry to report that I didn't try the drinks because I couldn't stomach paying $7 for a fun size bubble tea. Four stars because it's expensive for what you get and the dogs were quite greasy. read more

So excited to have Korean corn dogs in town, and Kuma didn't let us down. I chose the sweet potato half cheese half beef dog. It was quite large, with a generous amount of sweet potato, and cooked perfectly. Don't be afraid to have them top it with sugar. Each corn dog is made fresh, so they are perfectly crispy. Service was helpful and friendly. I look forward to coming back and trying their hot chicken. read more

The Nashville hot with mozzarella ranch for dipping was a 5 out of 5, the original full mozzarella was a 5 out of 5, the spicy sweet chili with beef dog was 4 out of 5, the polish with potatoes was a 5 out of 5, the full mozzarella with potatoes was a 5 out of 5 I recommend getting ranch for the dip it made it 1000 times better and the kiwi lemonade was the best lemonade I ever had it was different in the best way possible totally a 10 out of 5. The strawberry slushy was really good too. The service was great the staff is very friendly and Accommodating. I think it's safe to say I'll be back and not just to try the Nashville hot chicken read more

I got the sweet potato mozzarell dog and it was so good. If you've had a mozeralla dog before it's equally as good or even better than your favorite place. Usually when I get these the bread is too oily but this was perfect and had a generous amount of sweet potatoes on it too. Also ordered the strawberry slushie which was pretty good and came in the cutest bottle. Overall seating area is really nice and the workers here are so sweet!! Definitely a place to checkout read more

Good junk food. Fruit drinks are tasty. The music videos are not a big hit, however if all they want to do is cater to kids I guess it's ok then. read more

Best chicken sandwich I ever ate! Fresh juicy and the perfect spice. The exotic corn dogs are new wave! Highly recommend

Flaming Kuma: Customizable bowls & crispy Korean hot dogs. Fresh ingredients, flavorful sauces, and a fun, satisfying crunch!

Absolutely enjoyed the variety of options at Flaming Kuma! Mouth watering taste and fresh food! Highly recommend!

I've loved this place since it opened. I've tried many different corn dogs (original, hot Cheeto, potato, Nashville hot, cheesling.) I've also tried all the chicken sandwiches. They are super juicy, tender, and crispy! By far the best I've ever had, however they are a bit oily. The fries are amazing because they have a thick batter and get extra crispy. You order at a kiosk or at the counter. Service is quick and nice. Prices are great and not expensive. read more

Yum!!! I got the sweet potato mozzarella dog. It was delish! Very filling. More of a snack or small lunch meal. Definitely not for dinner. We had to wait a bit but the food made up for it. The store is pretty small so keep that in mind if you are bringing a group. read more

Food was great. The computers were down but Jay was super helpful and gave us the meal for free after waiting for a little bit. Will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

Very nice food, the sauces are great especially the kuma and sweet chili. Cant go wrong with potato dog

OMG! The best chicken sandwich I've ever ever had! It was moist and spicy, and I wish that they were closer to me. I would be there at least once a week. it was also the first time that I had a bubble drink which was very interesting and I really enjoyed it! The workers were kept busy, it being a college campus, but it didn't stop the workers from being courteous, friendly and helpful. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. What little service I got, was absolutely rude. Will not be coming back.

Honestly disgusting had to choke it down. The potatoes on the #3 were dry and it completely lacked any flavor. The taro tea was nasty, only tasted like milk and the lemonade was offensively sweet. The tables were also all gross and the facilities didnt seam clean at all. The bathroom reeks of dirty water. Theres splatters if nasty spilled stuff on the walls and the register. Nasty all around. read more

The Service was great. The blueberry lemonade is awesome. The place was clean and nice looking.

Really fun restaurant! Staff was very nice! Got the chicken sausage sweet potato dog with sweet chili sauce and a black sesame bubble tea. Would 100% go back and order both again! read more
