This is at the Steveston Canada Day! It's the first time I've tasted Japadog but it has been in my to try list. I love the taste. It's freshly cooked. Reasonably priced. Fast order. I think you can add fries n drink for $6.50. I will definitely try out the other flavours! Highly recommended! read more

Japadog - All Beef Terimayo - Hot Dogs Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

yummy hot dog and wonderful service from friendly staff! I had the avocado and hubby had the "love meat"!

Hotdog with a Japanese twist, my sister loves this place so had to try it out. We got #1 Kurobuta Terimayo and #6 Wagyu Beef Terimayo. My husband and I both like #1 better since pork tasted a little more unique. #6 had the typical hot dog taste so nothing too special, although the hot dog itself tasted good. It didn't taste like cheap sausage lol It's more filling than it looks, great mid-day or late night snack though! They only accept card btw. read more

Hotdog with a Japanese twist to it. Customer service was superb here. Came on a rainy day and was able to order from within the car. The guy working the food truck came out in the pouring rain to give us our order so we didn't have to get wet! The hotdogs itself was also yummy. I did enjoy the terimayo more than the okonomi a bit more. I thought the okonomi was a bit on the sweeter side. Would def come back to try their other hotdogs! read more

Japadog - #1 (Kurobuta Termimayo) & #2 (Kurobuta Okonomi) - Hot Dogs Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Very mediocre. Didn't enjoy my hotdogs nor the putin with gravy. Definitely didn't enjoy the man at the register that wasn't pleasant.

Always wanted to try one of these hot dogs and finally noticed the truck parked off No. 3 so gave it a try. We had the Bacon Cheese that came with a wagyu beef dogs, two types of cheese, bacon bits and a slathering of Kewpi Japanese Mayo. The dog had a nice snap to it but was a bit pricey for what you got. I understand it's a gourmet upscale hot dog and sure it was tasty. In the future I'd be willing to try the other varieties that looked good from what I saw others order and would like to give the shaken fries out as well! read more

If you have never had a japadog.....you are missing out. Every time I get a chance in Vancouver or LA, I will absolutely go.

The hot dogs were okay but not worth the hype and expensive if you ask me $8 and $13. read more

Japadog - Dogs were good but expensive and not worth the hype is you ask me. $8 and $13 for the Wagu. Didn't find anything special about them. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Finally, JAPADOG is now in Richmond! Access through Newtype Richmond Mitsubishi, across from Costco, south side of Bridgeport Rd. My faves list : * Terimayo, all beef with teriyaki sauce, Japanese mayo and seaweed -- awesome!! * Oroshi, pork bratwurst with radish (strong radish flavour) -- gooood! * Okonomi, Kurobuta pork dog with bonito flakes, japanese sauce, fried cabbage and mayo -- gooood! * Negi Miso, turkey dog with miso sauce -- gooood! * Love Meat, Arabiki pork sausage with meat sauce and lotsa cheese -- gooood! *Unfortunately, they don't have the Spicy Cheese Terimayo on this location (this is my fav) Just the dogs or going for the combo. Combos include shaked fries & drink. Fear not veggie lovers! They have a veggie dog option just for you! I'm sure it's good, but I can't comment on it because I probably won't be able to sway away from my faves list. read more

Although they're on the pricier side, it's worth checking out once if you're a hot dog lover, especially if you have friends to split one with so that you can try more hot dogs! My friends and I actually just came from dim sum at Kirin Seafood, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to try out JAPADOG since they were visited by famous people such as Anthony Bourdain (we're food nerds so he counts as famous). They were already out of a few types of hot dog around 1pm on a Friday, so we ended up ordering: -Kurobuta Terimayo/Signature Hot Dog w/Kurobuta Sausage (Teriyaki Sauce, Mayo, Seaweed, $6.25, http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=r-cMcW4kVkyK4agf8gycYQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Yum- a must order if you like kurobuta/fatty pork meat. The kurobuta sausage was super juicy and flavorful, and tasted delicious with the toppings. -Okonmi (Kurobuta Sausage Topped w/Bonito Flakes, $5.75, http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=bJ9V9LaCwXra3ZI6F6_P1w&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Although it was the same type of sausage, and that as good, we didn't like the combination of toppings as much as their signature. It was too heavy on the bonito flakes for me and I wouldn't order it again; however, this really did taste a lot like okonomiyaki. It took 5-10 minutes to prepare our hot dogs, so it was pretty quick. However, there wasn't a line at the time, so I'm not sure how much longer it would take if it were busy. Overall, I would definitely come back and try out other hot dogs from here if I saw the cart again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. It didn't seem like there was much parking around this area, so public transportation would be the way to go. read more

Pro: Great customer service, while waiting for my food an old lady came up and asked if she could have a salad at this hotdog stand, if it was me I would have told her to check the back so I can waste her time like she wasted mine. But the cook for the stand just calmly said I'm sorry we do not have those multiple times and proceeded to cook without aggression of this idiotic question Fast, when I ordered it is a one man team and it took him less than 3 minutes to give me 2 hotdogs Tasty, the hotdogs have a beautiful skin that explodes in flavor once bitten and hit just a bite that goes right through; there was a little resistance Con: Outside, no where to sit down and can't find a comfortable spot to relax and eat read more

Japadog - #1 & #6 - Hot Dogs Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Got the terimayo (#1) for the first time, and it was delicious! I only ate a bit since I have high cholesterol, but it was definitely worth the savory bite. The pork is semi-sliced into small pieces with teriyaki save drizzled, mayo in even thinner drizzles, and covered in seaweed. The pork was so tender and heavenly! The bun was nicely toasted. Pricey, but definitely something you need to try. I have tried the Kobe and turkey dogs at other stands, and they were NOT good. Go with the terimayo 100%. read more

This is not your ordinary everyday hot dog. This is... an advanced hot dog. Something so simple can be so tasty. Very fulfilling amount of food at a good price. You really need to try all the flavors at least once! As the portable stand cannot carry the full selection of ingredients, available varieties are limited and can vary. You need to go to a full fixed restaurant location for the full experience. read more

Hot dogs were fantastic. One of the best hot dogs I ever have eaten. I tried the wagyu beef hot dog and it was really good. The hot dog had a great depth of flavor. Really juicy. Love the mayo sauce. The bread for the hot dog was really good and fresh as well. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Everything we heard it was. Plus the dog has a snap to the casing, which is something most regional dogs ignore.

Japadog has come to Richmond...I hope they stay! All the Japanese hot dogness that you can handle is on our side of the river! I had a great Oroshi (ground radish galore!) and a side of spicy "Shichimi" Shaken Fries...every combo comes with a soda and shaken fries. Not bad. The prices are lower at this location...downtown is quite a bit pricier. It might be a little confusing as to where the food trailer is.....until you are driving right by it on Bridgeport Rd. It is on the Mitsubishi Dealership lot right across from Costco. I have a thing about driving onto a dealership lot....feels like I'm gonna get mobbed by a salesperson or two. It worked out and lunch outside in the sun was delightful. read more

"Love Meat". I'm not the kind of person who gets Meat Lover's pizza, so this hot dog variation is a bit of a misnomer, as in, I wouldn't have ordered it had I seen just the name. The description is full of yumminess, though! First of all, the sausage is Arabiki - the juicy ones I love in Japan. Then, the "Meat" in the name is for meat sauce - Japanese-recipe-Bolognaise. It has lots of finely chopped onions and vegetables besides the ground meat, so it's not too meaty. It was topped off with white and yellow cheese, either broiled or torched (I wasn't looking) to make them melt. Of course, it was good, but the drawback was that the Arabiki didn't stand out as much as it deserves to. I wonder if they do Arabiki without all the toppings? I also got "Shaked Fries" in Shichimi and Garlic. The fries are skinny and crispy. I think I get them more for the nostalgia value (of the flavoured fries at First Kitchen, a chain in Japan), as opposed to its own gourmet value. Japa Dog seems to be renting a lot in front of a house-like building on Bridgeport, but the only way I can see to get there by car is to use the Mitsubishi dealer's driveway. I wonder if they get a cut... They do have three Japa Dog parking spots. There is a small tent with three tables for two. Free green tea refills! read more

Woohoo! Japadog in Richmond! In summer 2011, there was a brief time when the JapaDog was in the Canadian Tire parking lot on No. 3 Road. It was pretty short-lived and I couldn't find it again in Richmond until recently. Based on the reviews, it appears to have relocated late last year. Now it's just across the street from Costco in the Mitsubishi parking lot - I'm surprised they set it up here since I come to Costco a lot and only noticed it a month ago. It's not a pedestrian area, but this concept of stocking up at Costco, then crossing the street to have a JapaDog afterward really resonates with me now that I know it's here! Graet selection and I had my usual terimayo with shaken fries. Mmmm. Totally eating this instead of the $1.50 hot dog special at Costco :) read more

Loveeeeeeeee Japadog! I've had just about everything on the menu. The shaked fries are awesome too. This location is my fave because I spend a lot of time shopping at costco and I can just zip across the street and grab me a yummy dog with seaweed or bonito flakes on top. :D read more

I was in Richmond on business, and hunting for a spot for a quick lunch. The moment I saw this cart on the corner of Westminster and No.3 Road, I knew it was something I needed to try. I remembered seeing this franchise mentioned on a TV show, and the dogs looked fabulous. They offer 8-10 choices, and they all looked good to me, but I went with their signature kurobuta terimayo. It was a pork sausage with teriyaki sauce, Japanese mayo and seaweed. The sausage was scored to get a bit more char on it while it grilled, and keep it from blowing up from all of the fat inside. This was one tasty dog, and the toppings were just what it needed. Too bad I didn't have another opportunity to try the other offerings. If and when I make it back to Vancouver I will seek it out. read more

Interesting. The Japanese mayo was a nice twist on hot dogs. Kids loved it. I'm told later that we should have went to the full store instead of the cart. read more

Japadog - So nice, so amazing hotdogs!!! I ordered spicy cheese turimayo $6.25, so tasty that I finished just on the road lol - Hot Dogs Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

So, I'm pretty much okay with mayo and nori on my dog. My husby haaaates mayo, but took a bite of my dog and did not make a face. He said the dog itself was really good quality and he liked the sweet sauce they put on it. He must have gotten a less mayo-y bite! ;) Glad I tried it, but probably wouldn't try it again. It's a little pricey for a hot dog, but definitely worth trying. Prices shown are for hot dog only - additional cost for drink and chips. read more

I know I have friends who rave about these stands. I'm not sure I'll wait over 15 minutes for a hotdog again... 5 people or before me and just under 20 minutes to put the dog in my hand with seaweed on it after I ordered without. I guess he did take it off for me at least... read more
