Went to Kong Dog for a snack because we were craving Korean corn dogs. They have a nice 6-pack deal, which is great if you're with friends and want to try a few different flavors. The corn dogs were good and satisfied the craving, but nothing too crazy. I do wish they were a bit crispier on the outside. Also, if you want sugar on top, you have to ask for it since it doesn't come that way automatically. Overall, a solid spot for a quick snack when you're in the mood for Korean corn dogs. read more

Kong Dog - Korean corn dogs - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The joint is stacked with options I did not expect. Churro Korean Dog? Fruity Pebbles covered?! Sweet Chili Doritos Dusted?! It's fun and honestly impressive how many ways you can customize one corn dog. That said, I really appreciated that they also keep some more traditional Korean options on the menu. Not everything needs to be chaotic, and those classic choices hit when you want something savory and filling. Fresh, hot, and made to order, which makes the wait worth it. Great spot in the food court when you're craving something different or just want a snack that feels like an experience. Definitely not boring. read more

Drink review only - I may try their k-dogs eventually but was really looking forward to my strawberry matcha drink and was met with disappointment. Prob will not order again, it was not that nice to look at, overly milky taste with clumps of strawberry throughout and other than being green, it didn't really taste like matcha. It was a miss and I won't order again. Service was super nice though and fast. It's also a small spot in the food court so the ambience is as casual as it gets. read more

Grabbed some K dogs while taking my niece shopping a couple days ago. Ordered a couple different things: Korean bbq wings, hot Cheeto cheese dog and a dorito half beef half cheese dog. We got combos so they came with fries and lemonade. Everything we got was tasty and fresh. We ordered in person although they also have a kiosk. Food came out fast and we found a seat fairly quickly. Definitely would come back again if I were shopping at Pentafom City again. read more

Yes if you like cheese and corndogs this place is it. The food is done to order as you can customize to be half cheese half hotdog. I tried the spaghetti inspired dish and it was delicious. I went for the full hotdog but can see where the half dog half cheese would have a great option too. The service was friendly and quick and it can be shared between two (2). There was no real ambiance as it was in the mall food court. I would try again! read more

Came here on Saturday to get a Korean Dog and I must say I love them so much. The potato dog was a hit I got half cheese and half sausage and it was the best of both worlds. I'm restaurant is located in the food court of pentagon mall. My daughter got the hot Cheetos dog but was unable to taste due to my dislike of mayonnaise. Will come back to try other flavor soon. read more

Best of the best must try so yummy I like the hot Cheeto so good I will be coming back more often

Food: 4/5 The Korean corn dogs here are really fun and tasty. I liked the Hot Cheeto Kong Dog... it's spicy, cheesy, and satisfying. The batter is crispy and the fillings are good, though sometimes I wish there were a few more sauce options. Ambiance: 3/5 It's a small spot in a mall, so don't expect a lot of seating. Clean and bright, but mainly a grab-and-go kind of place. Overall Vibe: 4/5 It's a fun spot to swing by if you're craving something unique. Staff is friendly and quick, and the corn dogs are worth it for a snack. Perfect for a casual treat without any fuss. read more

My kid and her friend wanted to try out Korean corn dogs and this place was all over the internet. My kid got a rainbow corn dog with mozzarella in it and a churro corn dog with mozzarella in it. Her friend got a hot Cheeto corn dog with mozzarella in it and a potato corn dog with mozzarella in it. My kid loved the rainbow corn dog and said she would definitely come back to get it again. The churro corn dog was not her favorite however her friend liked it. Her friend loved the hot Cheeto corn dog and the potato one. The service was excellent and the wait time was short. The look of the place is very pleasant and looks nice. They would both return to this place to try different corn dogs. read more

Visited from out-of-town and was pleasantly surprised to see that this Korean hot dog chain offered sweet potato and chicken sausage! So that's what we ordered--one Sweet Potato Dog with Chicken Sausage and sweet & sour and mustard on the side. It was a HIT with my husband and me; they really loaded the amount of sweet potato all around the dog, and though it was deep-dried, it was not greasy whatsoever. The dough all around the chicken hot dog was pillowy and soft and the sweet potato squares gave it the dog the crunchy texture. My husband and I thought this tasted better than the Korean hot dog chain in our city. read more

The service here was efficient and w e didn't have to wait long for our food. We tried the sweet potato churro dog. It was cool that they had chicken option for the sausage. The sweet potato churro coating was really good. It was soft and flavorful. I don't specially liked that it tasted fresh and was hot, but not greasy. They also had drink options. I didn't get any drinks but my friend got a strawberry machta drink and she said it was really good. She said it was $9 for her drink but would def. get it again: read more

I've had a Korean hot dog before, and it was honestly mediocre. However, I wanted to give it another try, and I'm glad I did. I ordered from Kong Dong since it was close by, and got a half-mozzarella/half-beef dog covered in potatoes, and I also got the spaghetti dog which was fully beef. Both of them were pretty good, and I realized that I prefer the beef dogs over the mozzarella dogs since the mozzarella doesn't have a whole lot of flavor. The spaghetti dog was my favorite, as the batter was nice and chewy (almost like spaghetti) and had a nice tomato sauce. I definitely plan on trying this place again. read more

It was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. I'd have never stopped here on my own so I'm glad my girlfriend wanted to taste something different. I'm officially adding corn dogs to my fast food diet. Some of the more adventurous flavors on the menu will be reserved for others but I'd definitely come back here to try another original dog. I thought the sugar would be overwhelming but it was just fine and not smothered the way the pictures on the menu suggested it would be. It's a little excessive that you don't get at least one dipping sauce free with your dog purchase. I had to pay 55 cents for a honey mustard and also a spicy chile, both of which added unique and tasty enhancement to each bite. One important thing however is to make sure that they pay attention to what you order. We were given a choice of different dog options, beef, pork, chicken, and I'm pretty sure we said either beef or chicken and then when we bit into it, we got pork. Considering that you don't know what's under the bread until you go for it, that could be a pretty huge problem for a lot of people. The people behind the counter seemed pretty apathetic so service is a bit meh, as is kind of expected in a mall. read more

First time trying a Korean corn do. I got the original and the hot Cheetos. I really enjoyed the hot Cheetos with the spicy mayo on top. It has much more flavor than the original. The original I did half cheese and have beef dog and it pair quite well. I added some ketchup it was a bit bland but I would come back. The menu choices are nice. There are about 8 different choices and you can choose the fillings whether you want sausage or cheese or both. They have different sauces to compliment the dog. It was pretty fast only took about 7 minutes even though there was a line. Also got a mango lemonade. It was refreshing. read more

Kong Dog - Half beef half mozz Sweet potato - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Visited here twice in less than 2 weeks. That alone should tell you it's good. This fairly new restaurant in the food court of Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. There are numerous choices of how you can get your corn dog. You can get it with hot Cheetos batter or fruity pebbles batter. So far I have stuck with the original batter. The inside of the corn dog have 4 options- chicken sausage, beef sausage, mozzarella cheese, or half cheese half meat of your choice. The original kong with chicken has me hooked. The chicken tenders with fries are really good too. The spicy mayo sauce is tasty. Definitely recommend try out this new fun version of a corn dog. read more

Kong dog is great! It exactly what you'd expect for a fast food restaurant in a mall food court. This is by no means a Michelin Star experience, but the staff are friendly and the korean corn dogs are delicious. I made a special trip here a few weeks ago when I was craving something different from typical DC fast food (ie. chipotle, &pizza, etc). Kong dog fulfilled my cravings! There are several vegan and vegetarian options on the menu - though the vegan sausage is extra. This is great stop while you're at the mall or even a fun diversion if you're in the area. read more

Came for the soft opening to try what Korean dogs are like. They had 6 choices for free dogs. But full menu was available. Each dog is ~$8. And the boba is ~$7. The dogs were interesting though expect breading. If you like corn dogs, this would be a new fresh take. I'm not a big fan of corn dogs so prob won't want to pay $8 for this. The boba was disappointing though, the bubbles were undercooked (boba lovers know the importance of the Al dente equivalent for tapioca balls) and the strawberry ended up like strawberry jam... no idea what I was expecting as I thought it would've been a more interesting blend. Nonetheless, probably like any other mall food you'd expect. read more

I came to Kong Dog in the Pentagon City Mall food court during their soft opening yesterday. Everyone was very nice and friendly, however, there were some delays with the orders, but I'm sure they will work out the service flow. I ordered the potato dog and the original dog, half cheese, half hotdog for both. They were crispy and had a good flavor. If you require condiments, make sure that you ask for them as they are not readily available on the counter. There is plenty of seating in the mall food court area, if you would like to eat there while they are still hot. read more

Truly a gem inside pentagon city mall!! Everything I ordered was delicious. The popcorn chicken with sweet and spicy sauce was my absolute favorite. The tteokboki rice cakes were also amazing. I would recommend the hot Cheeto kongdog and they also have bubble tea! Even though it's inside a mall, the workers were so sweet and the service made it even better:) read more

have not been here yet but I went to one in New York if coming here was a job I would always come the food looks good and taste good I'm gonna ask my grandma if she can take me back read more

Im gonna start with all the good that I have to say about Kong Dog. I fell in love with this chain when they previously had a location near my home in Maryland. That location was since rebranded but I was pleasantly surprised to discover a mall I frequent for work had opened one soon after. I make a point to visit almost everytime I work at this mall. Food always hot and made to order, service isn't the best I've had but honestly not horrible. Ambiance is a little wonky as it's in the corner of the food court. But over all I really like the Kong Dogs, Krazy Fries, and different beverages they offer but I don't foresee me continuing to be a frequent Kong Dog flyer. The prices have increased astronomically over the time I've been visiting. There is no reason a Korn Dog and Fries is $18 with no drink. They upcharge for all cheese and everything else. It's outrageous, I'm so sad that this is potentially the end of a era for me. I get inflation but this is out of pocket read more

What a treat - I used to have to drive to another city or suburb to get my korean corn dog fix, happy the food court at Fashion Centre - Pentagon City has added this vendor. Customizable corn dogs with many batters, toppings and sauces. For my first visit, I got the original #1 with half beef sausage and half mozzarella - ideal if you want a stretchy cheese selfie or video like what was playing nonstop on the storefront video display. Employee was efficient with the building line of customers and didn't direct anyone to the digital kiosk on the counter. The counter was clean with organized sections and verbal number call-outs for easy order pickup and example box of different kongdogs for customers to see up close. Get a bubble tea or my favorite, yogo jelly added to mango passionfruit lemonade. read more

I think they're good and it's definitely a novelty item. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't as exciting as I wanted it to be for $10. But I only tried the original sweet kong dog with half mozz/sausage. I'd eat it again but I wouldn't go out of my way. It was like -- tried it. read more

Found this place after coming across a TikTok video that they've recently opened. I went on a Saturday afternoon and got 2 corn dogs: potato and hot Cheetos corn dog. The wait wasn't too long (about 6-8min) but keep in mind that it's because they start cooking once they receive the order to keep the food fresh. Wow I took the first bite and was very happy with the taste. It's crunchy, sweet and savory all at once. Never had this type of corn dogs before and I was very pleased :) I will definitely be back. Thanks for the good customer service! read more

Kong Dog! Wow, extremely disappointed in the customer service! Traveled from DC to try their corn dogs and when I went to pay with their Kiosk it took $15.00 of my $16.21 order. When I tried to pay the remaining $1.21 the machine glitched out and tried to charge me the full amount. When I showed the employees, MANAGER INCLUDED, they tried to make me pay the full amount again because a receipt did not print, but I showed them multiple times that it did indeed go through. They saw the money went through, but still proceeded to blame me for using the kiosk rather than the manned register and even suggested I come back if a refund went through. After going back and forth for several minutes, over $1.21 at that, they finally agreed to give me my order and even suggested I come back tomorrow to pay. Food was decent attitude NASTY! read more

The food is okay but the customer service is inadequate I tried to order food and show them I posted a video for the free corndog and they added stipulations that werent included like the day of opening.

More expensive and less corn dogs with sauce 55 cents when at ballston give you more portion and sauce free.

Hot dog was delicious but the fried potato outside had NO seasoning, not even salt, so it was very bland. I'd be willing to dry again with a different shell though. read more
