We came here on a Monday night and were surprised that three of the hot dogs were already sold out so if you come here we recommend coming earlier in the day for lunch instead of a dinner. We had ordered number 1, 2, 7 and 12. I highly recommend sharing with a bunch of friends so that you can try the different. We shared four amongst three people and it was surprisingly very filling. We also ordered some takoyaki which was delicious.

Overall a creative concept with a unique twist on your classic hot dog. I wouldn't say it blew my mind, but the nori did pair well with the hotdog in a way my tastebuds hadn't experienced before!! Would I revisit? Eh probably not, but still a solid place to try out!

When I'm on vacation, I don't like to eat at the same place twice. Mainly because I only have a short time there, I want to experience as much as I can. HOWEVER, these dogs are damn good. And in my defense this was a different location from the first one I went to :P Haha. I highly recommend to try the Korobuta Terimayo!!

Lisa D.

Oh my goodness! Who knew such goodness existed! ! ordered: *#12 is the bomb!!!!!!!! i can't describe why it's so good but it is. if i can i would eat this all day. my fiance and i tried it our first day in vancouver and then we had to go back two more times. *simply getting the bratzwurst by itself is pretty darn good too. *DO NOT get the shrimp. its scary with the little shrimps that they put on top and the little eyes staring at you. i took them off and well let's say that flavor wise it's not good. my finace and i took 3 bites altogether and then tossed it. i would highly recommend JAPAdog. i think they are better than other hotdog places i've tried like pinks, doghaus, etc. if you're visiting vancouver and your not trying this out then you're missing out. tips: *no seating area *many locations are a food cart. *Cash only. *Has a lot of other locations. *Nice staff. *Food comes out quick *Lots of celebrities Have tried japadog. *look out for orange umbrellas! *does sell combos. *sell bottled drinks.

I stopped by this food cart because many of my friends recommended for a quick bite. Arriving at the cart I loved the simple menu with 7-8 choices and the pictures of celebrities trying the food. I chose the #1 kurobuta terimayo which is their most popular hot dog. I was impressed with every aspect of the hot dog, the creamy mayo sauce with the onions and seaweed pieces, and the hotdog was crunchy with a soft bun. Would come again.

The Yelp location for this cart was not accurate and luckily we spotted it as we were driving down from Georgia street. I went with the pork hot dog bento box which comes with fried chicken, some type of potato croquette, and 1/3 of two different types of Japadog, plus fries. The two half dogs that you get are the number-one and number-two sellers which are delicious just make sure and add some miso mayonnaise to the top to take it to the next level. On a side note they only accept cash and if you did not have Canadian dollars there is a bank literally 40 feet away from the cart so do yourself a favor and go in there and exchange your u.s. money for Canadian dollars because they will charge you one to one value if you try to give them American money. Definitely a yummy thing to grab if your jonesing for a hot dog and want to see a Japanese Twist on it.

Tried number 1 & 2. Was too dry for me. Make sure to add the sauces they have, whichever you like! Worth the try just to know what the hype is all about. 3.5/5

Japanese twist on the classic hot dog is a must eat. Loved the terimayo. Locals told me avoid all 'Kobe' dogs. But otherwise you can't go wrong. If you like wasabi load up on the wasabi mayo in the condiments section (free!) it's not very spicy. Overall somewhat clean establishment with plenty of seating. Would return for more!

I had to stop by this cart on my short trip to Vancouver. We have a similar Japanese hot dog place in LA (Dogzilla) but I heard this is the OG. I ordered the Kurobuta Terimayo and my boyfriend ordered the Okonomi. Depending on which cart you go to in the city, I believe there are five, their menu differs. I wanted to try the Yakisoba one but this location did not have it. My kurobuta dog was super juicy and full of flavor. The terimayo (teriyaki and mayo) sauce doesn't sound good at first but the combination is great! I love the salty flavor from the seaweed. I tried the okonomi and I thought it was ok. I usually like bonito flakes but just not in a hot dog. I wish we had this cart back here in LA, my mouth is just watering just thinking of it!

T T.

After passing this stand outside the Waterfront station, I knew I had to try it; what on earth is a Japanese hot dog? I tried the beef Terimayo, and I wasn't disappointed. A regular hot dog topped with Japanese accoutrements, like Kewpie, seaweed, and some other mystery ingredients, it was delicious and unique. There is also a local RBC right next to the Waterfront station, which I used to exchange my American dollars for Canadian money to buy this dog!

Lisa M.

I have to disagree with the mediocre reviews for Japadog because holy balls, is that one delicious dog!!! They have their carts with their bright orange umbrellas all over the city, but we came to this one twice on our trip. The guy was always super friendly. I had the regular terimayo dog, which had grilled onions, teriyaki sauce, mayo, and seaweed. Sounds funky, looks weird, but tastes amazingggg. The buns are toasted, the dog is fat, and the sauces all combine together to make a delicious taste. Hubby had one that he didn't like too much the first time (don't remember what it was, but it was pork), but the second time he had the spicy cheese terimayo, and he loved it. Not sure what's up with all the haters, but it's definitely not a typical dog... you gotta be open to trying it!

Amy T.

Came here on my road trip, I have to say it was a pretty nice experience. The japadog was pretty good, especially when I'm not a fan of hot dogs. When my friends were telling me about this place, i was pretty 50/50. Wasn't really sure what to expect from them. I have to say, they change my view of hot dogs forever and whenever I hear the word "JAPADOG!" I'll ask "WHERE!" I love the one I went to was a cart along the side of a street corner. It gave me a pretty nice environment to enjoy my hot Japadog in the cold winter vancouver downtown area. I would definitely recommend this place.

If you want JAPADOG, by all means get a JAPADOG. Don't settle for less, don't settle for imitators... (you know who I am referring to, Dogzilla - I'm sorry but drenching teriyaki sauce and using a King's Hawaiian roll doesn't make your hotdog "Asian"). While we were on vacation, we were able to stop bu this local stand near the waterfront and gastown. Always delicious and filling! I know there's one in New York, but hope we have more open up in Los Angeles (I know Little Tokyo, Los Angeles had a trial run). Keep it up, JAPADOG. read more

I was walking through a street in downtown Vancouver and saw a big sign that said "JAPADOG". I had heard about this place on television but never went out of my way to look for JAPADOG stands in Vancouver. There was no line. Even with the celebrity pictures posted all over the food stand, there wasn't anyone ordering a JAPADOG. That made the wait nice. I ordered the Okonomiyaki Dog and the Kimchi Dog (not sure if those are the exact names, but I think it was the #2 and #5). Both we delicious and full of flavor. The buns were crispy and buttery, which went well with the toppings. Just one JAPADOG can fill you up because of the amount of toppings and the decent sized dog. I wanted to try their other dogs but was way too full to buy another one (they are also pretty pricey at $6-$8 per dog). My mom, who doesn't really like hot dogs, wanted to buy a couple for the plane ride home back to California. Hooray for JAPADOG! You guys must come to California! read more

A few months ago I went to visit Vancouver for the first time. After first checking into our hotel, we decided to go explore shopping areas nearby. About a half mile from our hotel, my friends and I noticed a long line of people near a stand with a red hut. As we got closer, we decided to take a look at the menu (pictures of all 8 of their hot dog varieties) and decided we had to try it. There were 4 of us and we ordered 6 different hot dogs total. All the hot dogs were pretty good, the hotdog with kobe beef was probably my favorite. It was a bit pricey, I believe $6.50 Canadian dollars each, but still worth it. I would go back here again if I visited Vancouver again. read more

I don't think you could go to Vancouver with the knowledge of food shows and not want to find a Japadog food cart. They have several locations scattered around the city and each has their own little specials. We stopped by the one on Cordova and Granville in downtown so one of my friends could sate his curiosity. I was tempted to get one myself too but the nearly empty wallet in my pocket told me no. After all, we had been eating the entire trip so I was feeling a little scanty in CAD. He opted for the Okonomi (Kurobuta pork, cabbage, bonito flakes, Japanese mayo, and special sauce) and so kindly let me try some after my hesitation to purchase any one. It was juicy and quite flavorful. The sausage made a difference from this seemingly simple item; after all, it looks like a hot dog. The correction is, however, that it is a fancy hot dog and that's what matters. Ingredients, ingredients, ingredients. What a tasty sausage. read more

Because it was dubbed as the most popular item on the menu, I had to try the Korobuta Terimayo. This unusual combo of spicy mayo and savory seaweed on top of a pork hot dog in a fluffy, pillow-like bun actually worked. It really is an exotic version that I actually like a lot more than the American trademark dish. I just wished I didn't have to wait so long for it. I realize it was the busy lunch hour, but it definitely took much longer than I expected for a hot dog. I guess that's the price you pay for quality! read more

Veggie dog option for me, and I went with there Teriyaki Mayo kind. It was interesting, and tasty, (and expensive). Good, and glad to experience it since it's got such a cult following. But it didn't blow me away... possibly because tofu dogs require a special kind of attention that the terimayo just didn't do. read more

Wow, why didn't anyone think of this before Japadog came along? I had 3 of these things for brunch, which didn't break the bank at $20. I didn't feel sick after, which is always a good sign. I'm not Kobayashi, you see. Avoided the line since I showed at exactly 11am when it opened.

The Japa Dog, actually tastes good! Since their inception in 2005, I have never tried a Japadog. I always thought, it's just a hotdog. How good can it be? I can make my own for less than a $1. Wow!! Yummmy! $6.25 and finally tried the #1, TeryiMayo Kurobuta dog with Seaweed! Ordered it at the Salmonberry Festival at Dunbar Community Centre. What I loved about this dog was that it was NOT salty! The bun was toasted and generous amounts of Nori. I didn't even feel thirsty after eating it. Service: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Quality: 5/5 Score: 4/5 Would order again, if shared, to save a few coins and to avail my pocket book to eat more. read more

I love Japadog! Japadog is always delicious and comforting. It's like a wonderfully weird hot dog hug that warms my belly and perks up my day. I find Japadog just makes me deliriously cheerful. Like somehow, eating a veggie Oroshi in the pouring, dreary Vancouver rain can make me find the charm in the scraggly dude that stalks people around Waterfront Station begging for money for a hot dog, saying he hasn't had anything to eat all day, although I just saw him power-wolf two Japadogs in a row (true freakin' story!) Oh, that sly hustler. Or the super friendly service I receive there all of the time that makes me dream of going to Japan one day and eating hotdogs and drinking some Pocari Sweat under pulsating neon lights. Dude, I'm already there. Or the weird urge I feel afterwards to start my own kitsch hot dog stand. Indian food inspired hot dogs? Nah, some guy is already doing that downtown. Chinese-style hot dogs? Southern, deep-fried hot dogs? Sparse, Nordic inspired hot dogs with trendy toppings and unpronounceable names? Hmm... I'm not sure anyone wants to eat a ekologiskafrigåendefiskromkorvmedlingonketchup except for me. But I digress, Japadog is wonderful. I'd take an oroshi, terimayo, negimayo or okonomi over any other type of hot dog anyday! Even if it was an ekologiskafrigåendefiskrom...... read more

Richmond Night Market

There is an admission fee for adults at $7 per person. Children under 7 and seniors older than 65…read moredo not have to pay the admissions fee. Parking is complimentary. We arrived slightly before 7 pm and the parking lot had plenty of spots. However, there was a line to enter. We were in line for approximately 20 minutes. A lot of the vendors only accept cash. We are from Chicago so we tried to pay with credit card and were mostly successful. We tried several items such as popcorn chicken, fried mushrooms, Taiwanese garlic sausage, eggplant bao, lamb bao, beef skewers, lamb skewers, grilled oysters, and takoyaki. There is an approximate 5-10 minute wait for each stand to prepare the food. So I would say one should expect to spend at least 1.5 hours to seek out the food, order, and eat. There are plenty of benches with seating, public bathrooms, and ATM.

Richmond Night Market has been around for 26 years now. It is a good concept to bring the night…read moremarket atmosphere commonly found in Asia to Vancouver. It is more than just food stalls and vendors selling jewelry, stickers, socks, cell phone accessories etc. There are bouncy castle, inflatable balls to run around in, zip line, fair games like the PNE etc. What I find ridiculous but common here in North America is having to pay an admission fee just so you can go spend more money on food and shopping. In other parts of the world where night market or Christmas market is a common thing, you just go stroll through the streets where vendors and shops are for free. Buy food and things when they catch your eye. So it's $7 general admission now, $5 after 10 pm for late night. Seniors (60+) and children (under 7) are free. There are some stalls offering happy hours items for the entire night ($10 under food and $7 under drinks). Otherwise food is around $15 on average. The food stalls are still mostly Asian fare. Many bbq skewers and I saw many getting the squids. I tried a frozen banana dessert which was cut up frozen banana dipped in chocolate and drizzled with pistachio sauce and that's the Dubai inspired dessert. Not that great. The cheese coin was decent with plenty of cheese. The inari bomb was pretty tasty. Many stalls are cash only. So bring cash, lots of cash. There is a 3% charge for admission ticket if paying by card. I'll say budget for minimum $100 each if you want to fully enjoy the experience of buying food from a few stalls, play a couple of games and buy things. Parking is free and well organized. There is also a lot of soccer related theme this year because of the World Cup where a few games will be held in Vancouver. I can see this place being popular for young kids, teenagers and young adults as something to do with friends. As I still travel to Asia at least once a year, I can totally skip this. If you're expecting it to be like the night markets like in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia etc, this is not it.

I was hungry enough for a snack so I ordered a Kobe terimayo hot dog ($9.45) and upgraded the hot dog to a meal ($2.83). Japadog brings back memories of my university days when I was first introduced to the gourmet hot dog. This hot dog did not disappoint! All the Asian flavours on a tasty beef sausage. The price is a bit expensive for a hot dog. However, once in awhile is okay. This stall does not take cash so make sure you have a credit or debit card to pay.

One winter, my parents needed to shop at the Korean grocery store in Coquitlam, and there happened to be a boong-uh-bbang (taiyaki) cart outside. Unfortunately I didn't appreciate red bean at that time, and I knew that pretty much all boong-uh-bbang were filled with red bean paste only. To my delight, I discovered that this cart sold vegetable filled boong-uh-bbang! I prompted scarfed down at least three, and loved every bite of it. For years, I remembered this little cart as a childhood memory. But now that I live here, I can get vegetable-filled boong-uh-bbang more often! The lady who runs the cart is always so nice, and I always wish I could buy more than I do. So make sure to drop by whenever you're in the area and get your veggies!

Just pop over to any of the other businesses next door while you wait. Service is super duper friendly and prices are very fair for the quality. This was another big family meal so I got to try lots! Really everything was excellent- the ling cod fish and chips (flaky fish and very nicely seasoned fries), Mega Mushroom Swiss Burger (great house sauce and tender patty), Grilled Cheese (so, so much butter), Root Beer Float (big portion), Strawberry Milkshake and Mozzarella sticks. But my absolute favourite was the PBJ and Bacon burger. The juicy patty topped with the combination of peanut butter, bacon and red pepper jelly is out of this world. As someone who is huge on sweet and savoury, this is very much my kind of burger. An absolute must try on the Sunshine Coast!!

Lully's Mobile Kitchens

Best Dogs in Abbotsford!…read more Located in the Canadian tire parking lot is Lully's. There are a few different options to choose from, I went with The Dirty Dog and my daughter had a traditional. The Dirty Dog had smoked meat piled on along with cheese. I added banana peppers for a little extra kick. My daughter had mustard and loaded her dog with pickles. Lully definitely appreciates his customers, he had a soft spot for organ donars and kids as long as you don't put ketchup on your dog. The hours can be random so check the lullys facebook or call ahead. Theres "indoor" and outdoor seating. Lully has music playing which drowns out the car noise from the lot and road. We'll definitely be back as my daughter has higher standards for hot dogs the ones I grill won't live up to lullys

Nemesis Coffee

There was only one family ahead of me when I entered, who was asking questions about bean recommendations. The person at the order counter was really helpful providing them with good information. When it was my turn to order, it was quick since I had already selected beans that I wanted to purchase, and my oat latte. Option was asked if I wanted to dine in or takeout, and I went with the latter. After I got my drink, I took a seat on one of the benches they have outside the store. There's also a decent amount of indoor seating and an outdoor patio section in front of the store. Not my first time trying Nemesis since I've been to Vancouver before, but definitely a reminder of why they are listed as one of the World's 100 Best Coffee Shops. If I wasn't so full from brunch, I would have also gotten one of their pastries. Seeing them all was very tempting.

Not a place to sit a work for hours. Ok for just 30-45 minutes. Be ready to pay $$$. Music on louder side. The food at first glance looks and sounds like every other upscale coffee place with expensive croissants and loafs, BUT, when you order off their menu you get a very nice palatable surprise!!! The chef has designed really gourmet modern twists using familiar ingredients like Asian style pork belly eggs Benedict or asparagus danish with yummy mozzarella cheese grated on top. Very unexpected and very tasty in a premium experience way. Like Michelin star level. The reason I have four instead of five stars was because of my ordering experience. I had stood at the counter waiting to order. Awkwardly waiting for the staff to finish chit chatting. And then giving me a little look like I'm interrupting their conversation. The person who ended up serving me was pleasant but my first impression was made. The architecture was very aesthetically unique compared to anything else that I have experienced. I thought it looked and felt like I was inside an apple. Not sure what it was though!! It's quite over the top for a coffee spot or restaurant, but considering it's right next to Emily Carr University, it makes more sense that the building is art too. Would come back again.

Service was terrific and we enjoyed our experience immensely. We enjoyed wine for me, bourbon for him, shared the fantastic foccacia to start (note it's large enough for at least 4 people, we took some back to the hotel). I had the smaller portion of spaghetti with clams he had the 100 layer lasagna. (that takes them 3 days to make) The spaghetti was clearly handmade, and it was way richer than I expected it to be, so I was glad I got the smaller portion. Very delicious! I got a small bite of the lasagna and thought it was very meaty and tasty. He polished it off, but did say that the charred topping took over tastewise a bit too much. Despite being stuffed, we found ourselves wanting to linger, so we ordered the caramel pot de creme, and Irish Whiskey for him, and a dessert tea drink for me with blueberry & breakfast tea, amaretto, grand marnier and cinnamon. All super delicious and again very rich! To top off our fine experience at this awesome restaurant, because it was Mother's Day and I'm a Mom, they gave me a wrapped box to take with us. Turned out to be a very pretty bluebell large mug. Super nice, thank you Nightingale!

Today I ordered the Blackstone Benny, which comes with a runny egg, honey-glazed bacon, roasted tomatoes, and an English muffin. With every bite, you'll taste two distinct sweetnesses: the smoky, honeyed sweetness of the bacon and the refreshing sweet-and-sour flavor of the roasted tomatoes. The rich, creamy texture of the runny egg yolk perfectly blends these two flavors, finishing with the slightly salty, toasty aroma of the muffin. Jam Cafe has lots of delicious dishes, like the Charlie Bowl and the Fried Chicken Waffle, but Eggs Benedict is the only one I can eat from start to finish without getting tired of it--and just a few hours after finishing, I start missing it again.
