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!
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.

Super friendly staff. Was it worth checking out? Sure, to get my curiosity out of the way. Would I go back? Hmm... probably not. Nothing really stood out for me to return. It's a very expensive snack. Here's what I ordered: 3 corn dogs around $16 including tax (I have no problem paying $4 - $5.50 if it's worth the value. However, I don't think this is the case.) -holy cow classic with 1/2 mozzarella and 1/2 cheddar with sugar ($4). While it was crunchy, I thought the mozzarella cheese was too bitter for the last bite. -fried potato with 1/2 mozzarella and 1/2 sausage ($5.50) : my dining mate said the batter was good but the sausage was too salty. And of course... the inside mouth got scratched all over :) -fruity pop with hot dog ($4.50): definitely a kid's favorite. Didn't complain much. Now... it's definitely a snack... I wish there was more cheese filling inside, or prices lower by a $1. I wish you luck, Eggsum! read more
Holy cow -- something the line for this new korean hot dog place made me say as soon as we pulled up to it lol... idk if it was some tiktok or ad that made this place blow up so fast but be prepared for a 1.5 hr wait time from line to hot dog in hand on the weekends We tried a few: - sweet potato w/ half mozzarella half hotdog: comparable to a water bottle in size, pretty filling, and a bit too sweet for my taste. I wish they had the original potato when we got there.. it was sold out by 11am that day. - classic/plain w/ half mozzarella half hotdog: much smaller in size than the potato ones (because there's nothing on it, it's just plain dough). You can probably eat 2 in one sitting to get a meal out of it. Can't go wrong with this one. - spaghetti w/ hotdog: eh, not really any different than the classic with a side of marinara. I could skip, unless you really like marinara I guess. Sauces: - sweet chili: literally just egg roll sauce - ranch - honey mustard I'm genuinely happy that we finally have a Korean hot dog place in suburbs, but is this the best one I've ever tried? No. Is it worth another 1.5 hr wait? No. Is it fair pricing? Not really. They're usually $2.50-$3.50 at other chains. But will I come back? Yeah probably, if the line dies down after some time! :) This location/building itself has been renovated and rebought several times (multiple different cafes). Hopefully Holycow is here to stay -- I also hope other competitors can come to the area so the prices go down hahah. Plenty of seating inside, napkins and utensils are also available if you need them. read more
Finally got to go here after a month! Originally was suppose to go a month ago but I remember the line being around the plaza and was like "NOPE". Luckily, when I got there today, the line wasn't that bad (Sunday 12:30PM). It was until 1pm-ish that a swarm of people came in..... probably circled around the area inside. About the food, I did get 1 flamin hot, 1 original (not pictured), 1 sweet potato (not pictured) and 1 fried potato. All were 1/2 and 1/2 cheese and sausage. When I got my order, it took maybe 10 mins to wait for it. It wasn't piping hot. More lukewarm if any. I ate the fried potato one and it was ok. Nothing spectacular. I love spice so i had to try the flamin hot afterwards. And I gotta tell you that is definitely worth getting! It's not spicy. It's more sweet and tangy if any. Think of Mayo and Sriracha mixed together with flamin hot Cheeto dust on top. Overall, it was def hyped on social media. I would def go again for the flamin hot if it wasn't as busy. Maybe not my go to if there's a line outside or a really long line inside. I love to cook too so I think this is def something you can recreate and probably make an even better corn dog! Check it out though if you've ever around the area. read more
Line pretty much circled the building, but it was expected since it was all over tiktok that this place had just opened. We got the Fruity pop, Flamin Cheetah, Spaghetti Stix, and the Messy Kinako. The fruity pop was as weird as it sounds but not too crazy. You don't really taste the fruity pebbles as much. Everything else was really good. I think my favorite was the kinako because I didn't know what to expect. It was kind of sweet but also savory. We also got the sunrise(?) drink? It was blue and the strawberry ade. Would come again when it gets less busy. read more

Finally! I have been waiting to try out this spot. I love the different options you can choose and the fillings as well. The hot cheetos with half beef and half mozzarella was good but not too much of a kick. It was a little more on the sweet side. The potato one I got with all mozzarella and it was okay. It was kind of heavy when I picked it up. Of course, I had to get the original as well. I'll have to try out the other options when I'm in the area again. read more
My kids loooooooove this place! We went this afternoon, it was very busy We got the classic and the cheetah and some other varieties that all my kids adored! It's such a fun and delicious food. Everything was fresh and hot made to order. Prices are reasonable and the decor is very modern and cool. Fun Korean pop videos playing on the big screen. We will definitely come back! read more

Oh my gosh, I was so excited Korean corn dogs are becoming a thing in Chicago. I had to check this place out even though it's a bit of a drive from the city. First time I came here there was a long line that went out through the door, but I probably waited a max of 30 minutes. It definitely went by fast. When you order you can choose what toppings you want on it (my personal fave is the flaming cheetah) or just have it plain. Then you get to customize what you want inside (full dog, full cheese, 1/2 and 1/2, etc). I think any way you customize your dog you won't be disappointed. The corndog has the perfect amount of crunchiness and batter (not too bready). Service goes by quickly and there is plenty of seats in the dining area. Come here for some great Korean corndogs, you won't regret it! read more

Going out to dinner with another couple, we thought it'd be a fun place to try after reading a review. It was... a bit of a mess. The line was long, they messed up our order, and the food was... just OK. It's an especially poorly run establishment. Overall, the food was an interesting mix of flavors, but we ended up getting flavored mozzarella sticks rather than hot dogs. We'd ordered one of each of the eight varieties, to cut up and share among the four of us. We'd ordered them all to be "sausage-filled" (i.e. hot dogs), but six of them came out filled with moz cheese instead. There might have been a minor language problem? The Flaming Cheetah was the consensus favorite, with sausage filling. It was a unique experience, but we won't be going back. read more
Not bad for a hot dog. Still questioning if it's worth the price tho! Tired the original with cheese and hot dog and the hot Cheetos one. Definitely think the hot Cheetos one has more flavor, could use a little more hot Cheetos! But overall not bad. read more
Overall: It doesn't match the hype it's given. The food looks super delicious but the taste was just decent. It's not worth standing in that long line. Food: I got two potato corn dogs (one with the hotdog and one with just cheese) and two signature flaming cheetahs (one with the hotdog and one with just cheese). The outside shell is crispy and the inside is cooked well. The potato sizes on the corn dogs made it really hard to get everything in one bite. The flaming cheetah wasn't actually spicy. It leans more towards the sweet side. It has spicy Mayo and the flaming hot Cheetos flakes but it didn't have the taste of flaming hot Cheetos. I was kind of disappointed with this one. Ambience: The line was a 1.5 hour wait. They ran out by 6:30pm and they close at 8pm. There are tables to sit and eat but the line starts to come in between the tables. read more
This place is such a trip! And such a fun place to go to with friends. I have gone twice and had such a unique experience each time. Eggsum Holycow is pretty popular from TikTok, so when I first visited in September, we had about a half hour wait. The wait wasn't too bad and they got through the line pretty quickly. Don't let that stop you! The second time I went, it was on a week night in November and not too busy. During my first visit to Eggsum Holycow, I was with three other people, so we divided and conquered the types of corn dogs. We had a mix of flavors, with half-mozzarella and half-sausage vs. all sausage vs. half-cheddar, half-mozzarella. You've got quite a lot of choices going into your order so some research before your visit can be helpful. On my second visit, I stayed true to my favorites - the Flaming Cheetah, made with hot Cheetos and the Fruity Pop, made with Fruity Pebbles. For each corn dog, I got half-mozzarella and half-sausage. I definitely recommend getting sugar sprinkled on top if the cashier asks you, it adds to the flavor! Both corn dogs were incredible! The Flaming Cheetah was spicy and tangy but not overwhelming to the point where I couldn't finished it. To satisfy my sweet tooth, the Fruity Pop was a great choice to complete my visit. The sweetness from the sugar and fruity pebbles, along with the saltiness from the sausage and creaminess of the cheese create an amazing combination! Any of their lemonades are a great option too. If you're in the area or are in the mood for something new, definitely give Eggsum Holycow a try! read more

Ok, I'm in between for this review. The food was great. Tried the fried potato, yam-yam, flaming cheetah, spaghetti stix, and they were all delicious! Customer service was not the best. I called to order before hand because I was in a rush. I thought by doing so I would avoid the long wait. It honestly made no difference (if you called ahead or not). As soon as you arrive you have to get in-line, order your food, pay, and THEN they begin your order. I wish I was told this small detail. It would've saved me the drive and time. read more

This place was so worth the hype. I saw them all over Instagram in California and have been waiting for it to finally come close enough to me! I didn't get the sugar added on either one, I loved the savory flavor! I got half and half in both of them and I wish I would have gotten two more. They make them fresh per order so it does take a little while, not too long at all but definitely worth the wait. I will be back! I'm assuming they don't have egg sum sandwiches at this location? That would be a great mesh up! read more

Tried 4 types all with just meat. If you really love corn dogs or mozzarella sticks then you'll love this place. It's a nice twist on both. They have sweet chili sauce along with others for dipping. It was all good but I don't feel the need to return as I'm not a fan of corn dogs or mozzarella sticks. Staff was great and the place was mostly clean. The mango lemonade was also really good. read more

I thought this place will bring my childhood memories back eating corn dogs after school in Korea but kinda disappointed. It was O-K. Also- I don't know when is the best time to eat this?? Heavier than donuts but not enough to fill your hunger.. read more

Very good Korean corn dogs. Nice location with lots of parking near. Wasn't too busy and did not have to wait long for food at all. All of the staff members were very nice. I tried the flamin cheetah and classic. 10/10 recommend. I will be coming back to try more! read more

Loved this place!! It went viral on TikTok and now there are always long lines! It's pretty much that you pick a flavor (fruity, hot cheetos, etc) and then the filling (full corn dog, half corn dog half mozz or full mozz or cheddar cheese) I personally got the hot cheetos one with full mozzarella. That costed about $5.50. It tasted amazing! It was crispy and they put this spicy mayo sauce on it and then sprinkle hot cheetos crumbs on top. The place itself is super instagrammable from the inside. There's also tons of seating inside. Overall, love the spot and would go again. One thing to keep in mind - service is really slow. Since it's a newly opened establishment, i'd give them another chance but I mean waited almost 35-40 mins for one corn dog. I'm sure once it's been running for a couple months, service will a bit faster. read more

We find ourselves craving this all the time! We've moved and it's worth the 45min drive, our go to is the cheetos and sweet potato. You can customize the filling upon ordering. Side sauces are a must! read more

California native coming out to try illinois finest. Today we at kong dogs. Seen this place on youtube so I had to come try it. Try the sweet chili doritos kong dog. Although the corn dog had great crunch it lack with flavor. The doritos left an after taste of doritosin my mouth with little to no flavor on the batter and chicken sausage. Over all 3 out of 5! read more

By far soo good! I love hot Cheetos and the mix with cheese and crunch just makes my mouth water writing this review lol a must try!!!! read more
This spot is all over insta and tiktok! Its so simple, who doesn't like corndogs, and cheese, and flaming hot cheetos? I ofcourse got he flaming hot dog (#7), along with #2 the one with potatoes. Both were pretty good! I will say the half mozzarella half beef is the way to go. You get some of that ooey gooey cheese, and the savoryness of the dog. Skip the chicken! Cool concept would love to see more dessert dogs or more unique toppings. But i can deff see this being served at baseball games or sporting events, its so quick and easy. But not so special to visit if your not in the area. read more

We got to try @kongdogus in glenview!! Omg, my boyfriend got the original all beef dog and I got the original half cheddar half mozzarella. Hands down the best corn dogs we have ever had!!! 10/10. Would recommend read more
Korean Corn Dogs seemed to have randomly gotten really popular in the states this year, and I'm not mad at it. Mozzarella stick meets corn dog meets hot cheeto (?) What could go wrong? Seemingly nothing! A friend and I got the Original, Fried Potato, and Spaghetti Stick to share, all with 1/2 Mozzarella 1/2 Sausage as the base. They were each absolutely scrumptious, but my favorite by far was the Original, especially dipped into their Honey Mustard sauce. My friend thoroughly enjoyed the Fried Potato option, claiming "it's like fries and a corn dog all in one!" The Spaghetti Stick tasted exactly how you think it would, so no disappointment there. I paired my snack with a Mango Lemonade and it truly was the perfect combo. 3 sticks to share between two people was the ideal amount of food for a light lunch. I will definitely be back! read more

Was staying at the hotel behind it and we went three days in a row. We were going to try to go all five days in order to try all the dogs, but it didn't end up happening. I highly recommend the potato dog with half mozzarella half hotdog, and the sweet potato with all mozz. So, so good. The gingerade was not my style but my mom loved the sparkling strawberry lemonade. They also offer several flavors of Milkis! Can't wait to go back next year. read more
