    Boys are a big corn dog fan, me, not so much. That is why I opted for the wings and fries, which were good. Boys ordered the ramen dog and potato dog. They said it was good. I would hope so, since they scarfed down 5 of em. $75 later, they are well fed. Teenagers. Services was fast and our order was accurate. The dining area is clean and spacious

    I've driven by this spot so many times and needed something small and quick to eat for lunch. I thought they would just have Korean corn dogs but they offered so much more. The corn dogs come in a variety of flavors and you can even customize the filling. I ended up doing the potato corn dog with half beef and half cheese. It was delicious! I also ended up trying the pork dumplings which they serve on a bed of fries. They included the teriyaki sauce for dipping and it hit the spot! I also tried the ube latte and it was delicious. Overall a great spot that I definitely underestimated and would gladly come back to again.

    We were in and out in about 10 minutes. Always willing to try something once! I got the half mozz/half beef Kong dog and with hot Cheeto as a topping. The cheeeeeeeeseeeee pull surprised me. I would probably go for the full mozz next time. I really liked the crunch of the kong dog and it was very tasty as well.

    I was excited to find a Korean dog spot with ramen and flamin hot Cheeto dust toppings! I tried the sparkling ginger ade with my meal, but it was way too sweet for my preference. My husband had the mango lemonade with sparkling and said it was too sweet. We also ordered a side of wings in garlic sriracha, and it was okay. The French fries are pretty standard, nothing out of the ordinary. The dogs were good though!

    I tried Kong dog for the first time. It was pretty tasty. The waitress was helpful. Seemed like we came during a down time, we were the only ones in the restaurant. The waitress mentioned that the most popular is the potato dog. We didn't get it because it looked heavy. We just wanted to have a snack. We ordered the hot cheetah dog and the original dog. Both were reasonably priced. I liked that you could choose the options of meat or cheese, and they also offer to do half and half which is super cool. I got half and half, the cheese pull was crazy! I wish I had gotten a picture of that. The restaurant had cool decor and seemed very trendy. We ordered at the counter but they also have kiosk for those that know what they want. I would definitely order the hot cheetah, and next time I'll try the potato dog.

    Ok this is surprising to me, but I have to revise my review. We went back when this place first opened and was "Holly Cow" and were less then impressed. Since then, this has changed to "Kong Dog" and it is so so so much better. We came in with our son, (we have a son now lol, so that's saying how long it's been since we last visited) lol!!! There's kiosks to order your food or you can do so at the counter. The restaurant was very clean and updated. Everything was very nice. We ordered a plain corn dog with honey mustard and a hot Cheeto dog. We went with the beef sausage for both. The Cheeto dog was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. It was not super spicy at all. It was very crispy and tasty. The regular corn dog was crispy and savory. The honey mustard added a very nice sweet touch. All our food was piping hot and given to us in a timely manner. All the employees were nice to us and nice to our baby son. They were very friendly. Our son was intrigued by the K pop music videos and vibing with music that was playing. It was a fun ambience. Overall a nice place for families to visit, very kid friendly dining too!

    A place dedicated to hot dogs?! You are speaking my language. Not just hot dogs; their sassy, grungier cousin: the corn dog. You can choose your inside: full dog, half dog/half cheese, chicken sausage, etc. Then comes the outside. I had the chili and potato; both good. They achieve a crispiness on the outside and a batter/dog separation that is unparalleled. Listen, if you like yourself a frankfurter - you just have to try it. If you're not a hot dog type person - maybe it's not for you. But also...who hurt you?

    I wasn't expecting much as I'm not a big fan of corn dogs but I am always up to try a new joint out especially since they market a common street food from South Korea. OMG, Thank goodness I did. The menu is pretty simple...9 types of toppings on the outside of the corndog from hot Cheetos to sweet chili Doritos to potatoes and so on. You then have to choose a filling. The options are either 1) beef dog, 2) all mozzarella 3) half and half, 4) chicken dog, 5) plant based 6) all cheddar 7) half beef dog half cheddar. You take a bite and the first thing you notice is the delightful crunch. Then it's followed by a burst of flavors. I also tried their Kong fries. To die for! A delicious mix of fresh cut fries, spicy honey mustard topped with hot Cheetos and parmesan cheese. Nothing like I've ever tasted but something in definitely going to taste over and over again in the future! So !

    One of my exes told me way back when, "When I go out to eat, I like to order everything and just have a bite here and there". While she did that a lot to me over the years, I kinda like that mentality. While I don't eat everything I order, it's nice to sample up and take home if necessary. So by being selected and checking in, I was able to order 1 Kong Dog and a beverage (lemonade). I didn't do the lemonade and did a bottle of water instead. I ordered up and got 2 more KD's to try. I did the original, the Hot Cheetos and their Potato. All of those had the whole Beef Sausage filling. The winner by far was the Potato one! It's like an all in one meal! I love how everything is made to order as well! I'm not sure what kind of breading was used but it was light and not heavy. I would def come back here to try other variations! One less star since they have their paper baskets, overage of canned beverages, napkins exposed in the back. Having a closet added or adding some shelving would've been a neater look. It's in a strip mall so there is enough parking available.

    Spectacular!! This place is must try for everyone. I loved their variety of Kong Dogs they had. I am a person who loves Spicy food so i ordered Hot Cheeto Kong Dog and also Injeolmi Kong Dog along with Kong Dog Fries. And in drinks i ordered Mango Lemonade. Both the Kong Dogs had a sweet tinge to it. Wish there were more spicer options. Staff was very very helpful and nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend this place to everyone. My Favorite was Hot Cheetos Kong Dog.

    So I went today and tried a hot Cheetos with half veinna beef and mozzarella. The second corn dog was supposed to be potato with chicken sausage . They doubled on Cheeto dog instead so comped extra Cheeto dog. I had mango drink with tip it was twent four dollars . The Cheeto dog is great recommend half beef and half cheese. The potato dog was good in the outside. The chicken sausage consistency was like a mealy hotdog . Potato perfect underneath was a layer of corn dog which was soggy . Didn't care for sausage. Third working out kinks with the order but overall they tried to make it right and comped one dog.

    A great place for a snack! My favorite I usually tend to get is the hot cheeto all mozzarella dog as it packs the most flavor with the sauce and hot cheeto dust. My next recommendations would have to be the potato or sweet potato dog for the texture and definitely standout in comparison to the originally. Overall, I love how savory these are and the cheese pull is always really nice. Everything is made to order and the price is worthwhile to try. Definitely an upgrade and prefer these to normal mozzarella sticks. For some it may actually be filling enough to be a meal!

    Filling options. My fave was #3.

    Kong dog is a fun place for a quick snack. My favorite is the hot Cheeto, 1/2 mozzarella and 1/2 beef. They recently added wings, fries, and other food and drink options. It takes about 10 min or so to get your food, but it's a trendy environment to hang out in. A popular spot for high schoolers.

The other struggle will be with parking as this place is generally very packed during dinner hours. After several visits here, I've decided that the best way to order is to get large dishes to share with others. While, individual size servings are great -- there is a ton of spots nearby great for 1-2 people, but this spot does offer some nicely presented large dishes like bossam which are great for serving. I also find the seafood pancake to be a generous size with plenty of seafood and a nice crisp edge. These are definitely prepared with minimal seasoning, relying instead on an assortment of sauces to infuse the food with flavor. The bulgogi similarly, is tender and presented with lots of cabbage, more of a cold day comfort food instead of a seared version with thick sauce as you may find in other nearby locations. Definitely aim for some spicy dishes like the spicy pork bbq with mozzarella cheese if you're coming here, as the spicy options are on a different level of flavor and depth (similar to most Asian food you'll find in the area). Again, the meat is prepared very tender with an explosion of flavor. Overall, excellent food with excellent presentation and surprisingly affordable pricing. Probably one of the best values you'll find from a Yelp Top 100 US restaurant.

The redecorating and ambience was modern and sleek, with fully operational and clean water features. Grills were gas-operated, one grills there own meat items here. I really liked the natural-stone mini-subway style tiles on the walls. Like a lot of Korean places I have seen, the seats had minimal padding. I think this would be a great place for a date if you're in the area, a prize in an unassuming strip mall anchored by an auto parts store. Food was great, they happily and generously provided more banchan and also gave us complimentary bowls of soy paste soup that was practically jumping out of the bowl. As civilised as I tried to be, using my chopsticks and the cooking tongs correctly, I still felt like I completely stuffed my face like at a trough '^_^ it was all so good. Maybe to accommodate the neighborhood, the banchan was not nearly as spicy as we expected, so that might be great for someone trying Korean for the first time.

However, the price was a bit much for this I'd say. Beef tartar: 3 of 5 As there was nothing to special to it. Wouldn't get it a second time. I'd say the trip was disappointing for our party of 5 and what we got didn't match the quality of other gopchang restaurants in LA. For me who did not eat intestines I'd say it's a 3 of 5 place, but I'd say the value for the intestines based on what my party ate was more of a 2 of 5 as it was mostly grease that overwhelmed everything with no meaningful way to reduce it. Service was a good 4 of 5, but not as attentive at times.

For the 5 of us, we ordered the double portion of large intestines, beef tartar, and the bulgogi hotpot. The presentation of food initially was great. I've been to gopchang restaurants in Koreatown in Los Angeles and in Korea. I have not been to one that cooks gopchang in a grill with no outlet for oil drainage. For something greatly oily, it felt uncomfortable seeing it cook in an abundance of its own oil. The restaurant's lackluster solution to all of this oil was to dunk in large pieces of bread to soak it up. This not only looked very unappetizing but was not a successful solution. Additionally, letting the gopchang cook in its own oil, left the gopchang to be "fried" crisp and hard. The bulgogi hotpot had a good amount of meat and vegetables, but was way too sweet. They gave a small bowl of chive salad to a group of 5 of us to share, which we were each able to get very small portions of. They charge extra if you want more chive salad. Overall, a very disappointing experience, could not recommend.
