Kong Dog was delicious! It was the perfect pitstop for a quick snack in such a good location. I loved how the corn dog gave you the option for the inside to be 1/2 cheese and 1/2 beef hot dog so you can get the best of both worlds. The oat milk matcha latte was really good as well, and you can customize the sweetness level. My only complaint was the menu on the kiosk was slightly confusing because sometimes it showed a pic of an iced drink but the item was actually hot, so read the menu carefully. Service was fine but didn't really interact much with the employees since you order at the self-serve kiosk. read more

Love the design of Ambiance with the infinity lights and colors! Service was speeding but it was before lunch time! The food on the menu was familiar and I had to go with the sweet potato But mine is definitely burnt, I think she left it into long... :/ read more

...and then there was the chicken sandwich... but before that, let me tell you about the corn dogs. These things are as good as they could be. As far as I understand it, they take the hot dog and/or the cheese stick, and they roll it in the raw corn dough several times to get the appropriate coating, then fry it fresh. No pre-frozen, pre-made stuff here! I always opt for the combo of half hot dog, half cheese stick, and they are consistently hot, fresh, and delicious. I also really appreciate the variety, whereas they have, with everything from your classic to Hot Cheeto, ramen, and even Sweet Chili Doritos. The speciality ones may have sauce, too As for the sandwich: I absolutely want to give them points here because this thing was massive! The chicken was hot, fresh, tender, and well seasoned. The bread was also high quality and lightly toasted. Points also given for the veggies! However, this sandwich does suffer from a couple things: First, it needed a decent beating with a tenderizer! The thickness was wildly inconsistent. In some areas of the sandwich, I can't unhinge my jaw that wide, and in others, no chicken was to be seen. Secondly, while I do appreciate that the dough was crisp, it was overly thick. As a result, especially when it comes to giving the sandwich a squeeze or if you end up making it into a fork and knife affair, the breading just sloughs off. With all this said, Kong Dog makes excellent corn dogs, and makes for a great occasional treat. However, I think their chicken sandwich is not something I'd order again, not because it was so horrible-terrible, but because there are better chicken sandwiches within a five-minute walk. read more

We visited Kong Dog after grabbing coffee drinks at Cotti Coffee on our initial visit while we were walking along Michigan Ave, it was a few blocks from our hotel. The 1st time we stopped was to try the coffee-and we saw the menu for Kong Dog-so we knew we were going to go back to try. You can order on the App or at the kiosk inside. While the wait for food/drinks did take sometime, the food tasted fresh and was hot. I ordered the ramen and add a boiled egg and dumplings. My sister and her friend tried the Korean Corn dogs. They said their food was good and my ramen was good as well. read more

TERRIBLE experience. I've never come across such rude workers. Their attitude was unprofessional, and they made me feel unwelcome. Customer service needs serious improvement. I won't be returning. read more

This was a really fun Korean corndog place. We do not have Korean corn dogs in the city that I live, so I was excited to try them. There were lots of different options, and ordering was very easy through their kiosk. The food was delicious and arrived quickly, and we love the different options for customization, we would definitely come back. read more

I needed something affordable and hand held to eat while walking around Chicago, so I passed by Kong Dog and had to try it! They were quick with service and making sure the Korean-style corn dog was made fresh. I chose to get the original Kong Dog as it was my first time trying it and I wanted a baseline to review it. The establishment itself isn't exciting outside or indside. However, what drew me in was a 10% discount for anyone holding a college ID (yes I still have mine surprisingly). It came out hot and it was kind of what I expected. Nothing outstanding, but not plain and boring. I like the sweet and savory of the corn dog, combined with a dusting of sugar. It was a bit too much of the breading around the corn dog, but otherwise it sufficed for a quick bite! Overall, if this was the closest and fastest option for a quick bite, I wouldn't mind coming here again. In Chicago, there are so many places to try. read more

Food was hot, delicious and really good. I was so impressed by the corn dog! I got the sweet potato corn dog and we also got the dorito corn dog. Both of us got ours 1/2 cheese, 1/2 meat. Omg. The cheese... so good. Also got the Teppoki. Was not impressed at all by the sauce. It tasted like tomato soup with some hot sauce in it. The dish cakes and rice cakes were good in it. Also split the beef pot stickers. They come out all dressed I. The most amazing sauce with French fries as well too! Such a delicious treat. Workers were friendly and quick with our order. read more

I was in the mood for a hot dog in the area, and this has them despite their website only listing corndogs. Maybe hot dogs are location specific? So don't fear you can get both dog styles here. When I went, neither of the order machines were working, so the one employee had to take orders and make them, which seems like a bad management choice. I got the New Chicago Dog - a hot dog with the unusual topics lettuce, tomato, onions, condiments. Basically a burger in hot dog form. It was more toppings than hot dogs, but it was an interesting try. Bathroom available for customers (code on the receipt) and they had a free water self-serve machine which was nice. Maybe a corn dog would have been better. It was okay for a quick bite. read more

We stopped by this place to have a snack one recent afternoon. One of us was a bit hungry and ordered a Cheezy Super Dog, and the others just ordered regular corn dogs (one Potato and one Ramen). They all tasted pretty good and tided us over until dinner time. read more

I was so excited to finally try a Korean hot dog! I got the fried ramen cheese hot dog and my husband got the hot cheetos hot dog. We got the sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping. You have the option to add to your dog or have it on the side; regardless, definitely recommend getting some sort of sauce because it will be too dry without. Overall, it was as cheesy as expected and I am going to make it my mission to try everything on the menu. read more

I'm not a huge fan of corn dogs so I wasn't expecting much, but I went with my daughter because she's a huge fan. This is a chain and this location has been open for a few months and seems popular. They have a lot of options and extras and easy ordering, either by kiosk or at the register. I chose the standard one with a hot dog that's all beef. The breading was crisp and a bit thick for my liking. My daughter loves the one with the potato coating. I tasted it and it was good. I was surprised that they don't have a cheese dog. You can get one that's filled with all cheese or 1/2 cheese, 1/2 hot dog so I may try that next time. Students get a 10% discount. They have boba drinks and a lot of options to choose from so even if you're it a big fan, you're sure to find something you'll like. read more

Love Kong Dog and was glad that a location on Michigan Ave opened up! So convenient, and easy to grab a tasty treat close to all the attractions on the Loop. The food here is the same as the other Kong Dog locations (korean corn dogs, tasty sides & drinks), and the interior has a lot of seating as well if you don't want to take your food to-go. Highly recommend grabbing a korean corn dog if you haven't tried one yet! read more

It's a fast food type restaurant with Chicago style hot dogs.

I was skeptical that a Hong Kong hot dog shop could deliver, but my dog was really good. Much bigger than I expected. It's a small clean shop with a window counter and a couple tables.

So bummed! I'm a big corn dog fan so was excited to come across this spot but it was kind of a let down. Went with the ramen dog (beef) for my first try and while they nailed the outside with crispy bits of ramen, the breading itself was most of it, it was super doughy and slightly still raw and distracted from the whole experience. I think if they offered more complimentary sauces, it would be a good addition to the corn dogs themselves. May be back to try others since they were obviously made to order but the execution was a little rough. read more

The original and potato were generally flavorless outside of the exceptionally salty taste.

This past Saturday 10/5/2024, I just ordered the strawberry matcha boba tea. I made sure I asked for tapioca pearls. I received the drink and it tasted really good but there was no boba. I walked back inside and told the worker that they forgot it and she gave me a container of just boba pearls and ask me to put it in the drink myself. I asked her to remake it and then she remade it nasty with no sugar and milk. I called up there and asked to speak to the manager and it was the manager who made my drink. She took down my number for a free Kong dong coupon that was to be sent to me via text and it's now Monday and I never received anything. read more

Kong Dogs are a viral craze that is sweeping the nation. Sadly, this is the only thing this establishment sweeps. The floors were filthy, dirty, disgusting, and covered in food. My shoes were sticky and slippery from the greasy food left all over the floors. While my love for Kong Dogs remain, I'll never be seen at this establishment EVER again. read more

Just a corn dog with a sweet breading. Very average not worth the price. We had Kong dog with beef and fries.
