    First korean corndog in a really long time and this definitely hit the spot. They are huge and can definitely fill you up, could possibly even share. The sweet potato was my personal favorite after trying the og potato as well. I like how they offer complimentary sauces and a wide variety aswell! They come out super hot and fresh which makes the cheese pull extra yummy. A lot of seating right outside the store to sit and enjoy with friends too. Would highly recommend.

    Amazing Korean corn dogs, we have been looking for some good tasting hot Cheeto corn dogs and they hit the spot! Owner/manager was super friendly and helpful! Cute hole in the wall for a quick snack!

    Myungrang Hot Dog is good for a late night snack. There is not really anything memorable about this place other than the fact that it is affordable and open later than many of the nearby businesses (11:30pm). The price range for a hotdog is around $5-7 depending on the options you select. I do like that they come with a side of sauce (and they have a ton of options!). I must say though, the cheese and sausages themselves were not particularly flavorful. I feel like the flavors and quality are not as up to par with other similar places. Even late at night, the service was really quick. Myungrang Hot Dog is nestled up in the Durant Food Court. Although there is no seating inside this particular place, there is a ton of seating and community vibes within the food court. This is a good place to curb those late-night cravings!

    Must be ok with parallel parking unfortunately. Came on a Wednesday night around 9:30pm and parking was tough. Besides parking, This is a great location! It's surrounded by other places and the seating is mostly outside and it's large picnic like benches. So if you hang with friends, it's easy to get other things from other restaurants and still sit together to eat! I love the concept so much. 2 kiosk to order from. Super fast, maybe like 10 min till your order is ready depending on the line queue. I got the Crouton Hotdog ($6.49) and Taiyaki Pastry (2 pieces for $4.99). The price was unbeatable for a nice snacky meal that will still fill you up! Crouton Hotdog: really crunchy! I like this better than the potato. Has some kind of cheese sauce on top. I paired it with cheese mustard to dip and it was really good (its kinda like honey mustard) Taiyaki Pasty: Totally worth it. It comes out so hot and warm. I got Oreo and custard fillings. I really like the oreo one, it was just like chocolate. The custard was also really good but all the filling was on the bottom half :( I dont come to Berkeley often but if I do, I would come to this nook again just because there's many different food places here and hanging with friends who like different things would be perfect here. (Parking not so much tho ew)

    OMG, YUM! I didn't know this place existed. I was just hungry and randomly selected it while walking through the courtyard. I love hot dogs, so the name caught my attention. I quickly learned the name is slightly misleading. It's more like Hot Dog On a Stick. Yes, the one at the mall with the awesome lemonade, that makes you feel for the employees who are forced to wear the horrible uniform, silly hat, and jump up and down to make the batter. This place has batter that results in a super crunchy exterior, with a sprinkle of sugar (I requested light). All toppings you can ask on the hotdog or on the side. I expected on to mean IN the hotdog but it comes over it which made it unexpectedly so much better. Go to this place and experience the greatness. I'd be shocked if you felt differently.

    They're participating in Berkeley Restaurant week right now and have a few different combos/specials running for this event. I got the buy 1 Hotdog + get 1 free Taiyaki special. Hotdog choice: half Mozzarella, half sausage coated in fried/diced potato. Taiyaki filling choice: custard. Normal prices for their Hotdogs run about $5 and up, while you can get 2 pieces of Taiyaki for $5 or 5 pieces for $10. I liked what I ordered. The fried/diced potato encrusted Hotdog was like eating a hotdog on-the-stick with French fries in 1 bite. Mozzarella had a really nice cheese pull. I chose the cheese and sriracha dipping sauces for this. Next time I'd ask them to drizzle it on top so there's less plastic waste with the sauce containers. The Taitaki pastry had a mochi dough/batter and I enjoyed the custard filling. I will try their Nutella and Oreo fillings next time. Located near UC Berkeley in a small enclave courtyard foodcourt on Durant Ave and Telegraph Ave, which has other Asian food and drink venues that are all quick/made to order with a few bench/patio or inside venue seats. Metered street parking outside.

    Potato and Hot Cheeto Corn Dogs

    When I was at UCLA, I used to go here a lot when I visited Sawtelle. It's definitely one of my favorites! Here at Berkeley, you can find it in the back of Asian Ghetto in Southside Berkeley. It's not too busy now that it's been a couple of months since it opened up. I got two corndogs: both of them were half sausage/half mozzarella. One of them had the potato on the outside while the other had hot cheetos. You can add sauce and a coating of sugar if you'd like. It's prepared pretty quickly! The Hot Cheeto Corndog will always be my favorite, but the Potato Corndog is always a solid option. I feel that both the sausage and mozzarella are necessary in the corndog, so I always get the half-and-half! There's a few seats inside, but you can find much more seating outside in the shared tables. It's also convenient that this place is on Snackpass, so you can order in advance! Will always be coming back!

    Not bad but not too impressed. Potato dog hit the mark, but taiyaki was dry and skimped on the fillings. They are generous with the two sauces you get to select, but I prefer a self serve sauce station, like how Seoul Hotdog used to do it.

    I've had Korean Hotdogs before and I loved it, so I was excited to try this place. There was no line when I went, so I got my food pretty fast. I ordered the Potato, Mozzarella and Sausage with sugar, a side of cheese mustard and ketchup. It was delicious! I loved the sugar coated fried potatoes around the hotdog. It was super crispy! The cheese was nicely melted to create a cheese pull. The staff were kind and the prices were reasonable! I'd definitely come back for another hotdog and to try the Tteokbokki and Taiyaki!

    Welcome to Berkeley Myungrang Hotdog!!! Located in, what I believe is called, the Durant Food Court, Myungrang brings in another food option for whatever you may be craving that day! They're located towards the end of the outdoor food court. They do not have indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating (if weather permits). To order, they have a kiosk or you can order through a human. Their menu is pretty simple and straightforward. They have 12 hotdog choices, Korean Tteokbokki (2 different spice levels), and Taiyaki (4 different fillings). Yelp Elite Dario O. and I decided to get numbers 1, 3, 8 and 11. Korean Tteokbokki "Rose" aka medium spice and one of each flavor for the Taiyaki. The Hotdogs are exactly what you'd hope and expect-- creamy on the inside, nicely crisp on the outside! They use an all beef sausage, too. They have an option for light, regular or no sugar coating and 6 different sauces. Out of all the sauces, their cheese mustard was my favorite. It paired so well which each hotdog!!! I chose light sugar which was, imo, a great idea because it didn't take away from tasting the batter but also added a nice sweetness. A little sweet and savory for your tastebuds! I'd never had Taiyaki with Cheddar filling which was pretty interesting. Oreo was definitely my most favorite! The Korean Tteokbokki "Rose" for sure had a kick to it! The rice cakes were soft and tender. They even add a few pieces of hotdog! They recommended to dip our Hotdog(s) in the Tteokbokki soup which was delicious! The creaminess and spice from the soup enhanced the texture and flavor of the hotdog! And you kind of don't taste that medium spice anymore lol When we got there, more people started to flood the restaurant with orders but they worked in a timely matter and prepared everyone's order accordingly. Overall, I have no doubt this spot is going to be a popular place in Berkeley! They have a great location with good amount of seating, prices are reasonable and the quality of the food is up there.

    2 Piece Taiyaki and Original Hotdog

    Stopped by for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't too busy! This spot is tucked in the back of Asian ghetto. There was a bit of a line after I ordered. I could see how there could be a decent wait since there was only one person working at the time but that means all the food is extremely fresh! I ordered with the worker but there is also a kiosk next to the register to self-order. I got the potato mozzarella and sausage. My friends opted for a bunch of the other hotdog combos, taiyaki, and tteokboki. You have the option of adding sugar and sides of sauces. I got a light roll of sugar with ketchup and mustard on the side. It's an open kitchen and I saw the guy make everything fresh. The kitchen was very clean as well. The hot dogs were great. I got quite full at the end, especially with the extra potato crust. The outside batter and potatoes were perfectly crisp. The "slightly wreck the roof of your mouth in a good way" type of crisp. There was some chewiness to the interior of the batter as well. Mozzarella gave a great cheese pull. Hot dog itself had plenty of flavor. The hot dog was proportioned to be half mozzarella and half hot dog. I do wish it alternated a bit more to be quarter divisions for the mix in flavor. My friends enjoyed the taiyaki and tteokboki as well. It did take a bit longer for those last two to come out. Overall quite pleased with the experience! It's fairly priced and filling. I will definitely come back again and try the taiyaki.

    sauces! you can pick 3 for each dog. I like the cheese mustard the most.

    Saw an ad for the soft opening of this spot while scrolling on IG and really glad I checked it out! They have 20% off everything until their grand opening on 2/7-2/8. I definitely recommend taking advantage of it while you can because we really enjoyed our food. I got the mozzarella and sausage (3.) and the squid ink and mozzarella (5.). My boyfriend had the hot cheetos (11.) and the sweet potato and mozzarella (9.). We also shared a rose tteokbokki which they cook fresh for you! Everything was so good, I would order all of it again in a heartbeat. The tteokbokki was what surprised me the most though. I knew they had to have good Korean corn dogs if they expect to make it out here but I was blown away by their tteokbokki. The flavor was perfect, it was decently spicy, and the rice cake was nice and soft. The fish cake was delicious in it too, and they were not stingy with it. Don't forget to dip your corn dogs in the leftover rose sauce! For the corn dogs, I love that they have sweet potato options. I want to get that next time I go since I really enjoyed trying the one my boyfriend ordered. I also want to try the cheddar and sausage (4.) here next time as that's a usual favorite of mine at other spots. Will try to be back one more time for the 20% off deal! All in all, a yummy visit and great addition to the berkeley gourmet ghetto. Will be back!

    All I can say is that was one of the best Korean corn dog I've had so far. After being disappointed by mochinut I was still craving a good dog, and this place hit the spot. Crunchy outside, best cheese pull ever on the inside.

    taiyaki, with mozzarella dogs in the back!

As a group of 2, we decided to share the kimchi pancake appetizer that came with kimchi and various banchan. The pancake was delicious, savory, cheesy and a great addition with the dipping sauce. I also appreciated the kimchi that paired nicely together with the pancake. For the main, I ordered the spicy chicken bibimbap. Here, you can adjust your spice tolerance to preference - my tolerance is high but I decided to go for the medium level. The bibimbap came out in a hot and sizzling dish so just be careful if you're sensitive to hot foods! After waiting for it to cool down a bit, I mixed the layers around and was happy to get the crunchy rice at the bottom of the dish. The chicken was a good balance of spicy but not too overpowering. Depending on the preparation, you might be used to having bibimbap with sauce that you mix in, but this variation already has everything combined within the pot. It also comes with a small side of tofu soup, which was piping hot but so worth it as it was spicy and comforting. I really enjoyed all of the bold flavors with each dish and I'm excited to come back again to try something new!

    *This review is for Chimmelier and Oh G Burger…read more We were the only ones in the restaurant on a Sunday evening around 6pm; when we approached the register, we were able to order on the kiosk (to the right of the register) or through the cashier. It was an ideal place to take a group because 1) it was fast casual 2) everyone can put in their individual orders without the awk who's-going-to-put-their-card-in issue 3) there were 2 restaurants (Chimmelier + Oh G Burger) in 1 so more options! What I got: 8 pc sweet gochujang wings (sauce was called YANG'YUM') and a side of tots with a cup for water **the wings were from Chimmelier and the tots were from Oh G Burger We were able to combine two tables together to fit our group of 5 and the cashier brought our food over in quick succession. The tots were my fav even tho the wings were supposed to be the star of the show. I liked how they gave me PLENTY of disposable gloves because the sauce is v sticky. Gochujang is a savory, sweet Korean chili paste, but I would say it was more sweet than spicy. I enjoyed my meal but maybe would wanna try a dry rub because putting on gloves every time can be a chore. I went for a yelp elite perk once and grabbed their chicken sando which was tasty.

We ended up having to pay the higher price because they said the menu just wasn't reflecting the latest prices. Fine, whatever. We both ordered chicken sandwiches and they were tasty.

However, on our second trip back - we once again ordered chicken sandwiches and also shrimp toast as an appetizer. One bite into the shrimp toast and the piece was very COLD...It wasn't fully cooked so we flagged it to them. They were very apologetic and happy to take it back to warm it up. But damn! PSA to diners here to check your food to make sure it's properly cooked here. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...well, I'm not sure I'll come back.
