    Love the Korean hot dog trend. Delicious gourmet corn dogs with delicious flavors. I always pick half cheese and half hot dog with ramen flakes deep fried. Yummy

    Mango Blended Drinks - 16oz
    Ashley B.

    My sister and I decided to try out something new. When walking in we were greeted with a smile and she answered all of our questions. We got the mango blended drink which was amazing along with the flaming hot Cheeto mozzarella which was also good. The place is a little small so I'd recommend taking it to go if you don't live too far. We'll be back to try some other ones!

    Cheese side

    Myungrang is a fun twist on the traditional corn dog. There are several different hot dog and corn dog opptiins. There are even dessert options. Outside breading is crunchy. Inside was a half beef and half cheese dog. Several sauce options. Mango habanero sauce has a kick to it. Food is ready quickly. Eat in or take the food to-go. Inside is sleek, with red, white, and black colors.

    Stopped in to checkout the new Korean dog spot by home. They have plenty of options and sauces available. We went with a potato dog and a half cheese and half dog. We also got a side of the highly recommended garlic Parmesan fries. The place was clean and service was friendly. We tried a bit of each sauces and all of them were really good! The outside of the dogs were crispy as they should be with plenty of flavors. There is plenty of cheese inside for that cheese pull pic as well! ;) Overall, a good spot to cure that crunchy Korean dog craving!!

    3 Dog Combo Set and French Fries

    I've been wanting to try this place for some time now and glad I finally did. The service was good and the place was clean. We shared the 3 dog combo and fries. Each dog had its own unique flavor, my favorite was the mozzarella and the fries were so crispy! I love that they have all the sauces out so you can pick what you want and get as much as you want. My four stars is because it's a little pricey. Almost $40 for the food and my sister got a boba.

    Some corn dogs and popcorn chicken.
    Joyce W.

    "Corn dogs gained popularity as a Korean street food in the 1980s, but the current corn dog trend--which sees more than just hot dogs coated in more than just cornmeal batter--is generally credited to Myungrang Hot Dog, a chain that started in a market near Busan in 2016. In just three years, Myungrang amassed 650 stores in Korea, taking corn dogs from a street-vendor staple to a franchise darling." ― bonappetit.com 1,100th review! Woo! Our crew came here after going to Seltzerland on Saturday, February 26th, and it was nice! It's a nice and spacious place. We got a multitude of items such as the Squid Ink and mozzarella hot dog and some popcorn chicken. I enjoyed every bite. This location is tucked away in a cozy location. It was a little messy inside but it's fine. I also enjoyed that they offer a lot of dipping sauces for whatever you decide to order.

    Original hot dog & potato hot dog
    Rebekah D.

    It was a pretty quiet place. I was glad it was not right in the middle of westgate as I was not feeling like driving through there. Bestie and I went as we are trying to knock out new food places on our list. Drinks: Strawberry blended drink with rainbow jelly -normally I hate strawberry flavored beverages but I thought this one was tasty and the rainbow jelly tasted like really good fruit cocktail Peach Red Bull with lychee jelly Omg yum. Don't let the price of 6.99 +1.00 for jelly scare you off. I had a peach Red Bull at home and it's only half as good as they make it here. Probably the only way it could be better is to add vodka. It's one of my new fave drinks. Hotdogs: They asked if you wanted sugar, and my uneducated self just asked if that's how people normally got it. The cashier said yes. My thoughts? Do it. Yuuummm. It made the crunch on the hotdogs just barely sweet. The squid ink one looks kind of crazy bc the batter is dark but I do like squid ink foods. Don't skip it. The batter is fun, tasty and has a great texture. I like the mozzarella to hotdog change in the middle. So good. My mini had the original and really liked it. She was asking to go back again and loved her strawberry drink. The mozzarella one was like a giant cheese stick on a stick. I'm mildly lactose intolerant and it didn't stop me. Cheese sticks on a stick should be sold everywhere. The cheddar cheese hot dog was super good as well. I almost wished I ate more of this but I only had a bite. The crunch of these hotdogs is just delightful. The potato one was not for me so aside from getting a cute pic of it, the review was that texturally it was confusing but it was good, and he didn't know if he liked the hot dog more or the sauces. This brings me to the sauces. Sweet chili sauce-tasted like your standard but tasty sweet chili sauce. Cheese mustard-unexpected but tangy and bright. It's a great combination with the cheddar cheese hotdog Honey mustard-probably one of my faves with it. Anything deep fried usually tastes pretty good with a honey mustard. It's not overly sweet or mustardy. Yum. Boom Sauce-this was good but it tasted like a spicy Mayo sauce from your local sushi spot. It was not disappointing but familiar. Definitely come try this place and satisfy your cravings for hot crunchy food with awesome sauces.

    Brandi M.

    Mozzarella dog with flaming hot cheetos. There are about 7 different sauces. I tried sweet chili, mayo and the most popular boom sauce. Crunchy!! Not doughy at all. They staff and maybe the owner I spoke with is so welcoming and nice. The name Myungrang is the original name of the korean hot dog. This business maintains cleanliness and they also have boba different flavors and, what I will be coming back for is the funnel fries! Sounds and looks so good. Party or enjoying alone this is a good hold you over flavorful snack. Enjoy! Come get your fix. Oh ya, make sure you get the boom sauce

    Trio- Potato & Mozzarella Flaming Hot Cheetos Hot Dog The Original
    Troy A.

    I've definitely been wanting to try these. So happy I did. Multiple options sonic your a little shy at first you can go the original route. I love the crunchy ness of the breading. We bought the trio package which comes with original, potato and hot Cheetos. All can be made either half mozzarella half dog or full either way. We went the half route. I used the Boom sauce which was a sriracha Mayo imo definitely good on the potato dog. Make this a go to! I highly recommend and will definitely be back

    Squid ink
    Chad P.

    I am a fan! I read about this place and had to try it out. It's a chain from South Korea specializing in their own way of changing up corn dogs that has branched into the Phoenix area and their location here near Westgate in Glendale. It's located in a nondescript strip mall area that is pretty new and very inviting. As you walk in, it's a bit small in there but room for a few tables. The employees were very friendly as they helped me figure out what I wanted. I tried the squid ink dog which is basically a corn dog with a black batter and it was covered in sugar. I would say it was pretty good. Very different but pretty good and flavorful. The other one I got was mostly just mozzarella cheese covered in potatoes and then covered in cheese and jalapenos. That one was delicious! Jalapenos were spicy and potatoes were just a cool way to cover up a corn dog. This was definitely a lot of food for just me for lunch. Probably would share with someone next time I go. But definitely a win! I would definitely go back and try more of the flavors. They had all sorts of creative things lined up. Thanks!

    What I paid for, and didn't get....
    JD O.

    This place was so over hyped only to get a cheese filled (corn dog) with no dog in it! Food has absolutely no flavor and it's so frustrating to even try and eat it. I won't come here anymore. Paper thin napkins don't help at all....Horrible waste of $40.....

    Linda W.

    Well after reading about and seeing the pictures of this NEW hot dog place, I could not wait to try it out. What a disappointment! When I entered, no customers at all, was not greeted by staff or ask if they could help. Not having been here before I had questions. They were answered very curtly giving me the impression that the server thought I was stupid. I wanted a dog with meat, which several menu items had no meat. I decided on half and half meat and cheese with potato. WELL the pictures tell the story. 2 1/2 inch of hot dog meat size of my finger, three inches of cheese wrapped in heavy bread, dipped in potatoes and fried. Not good at all. The dipping sauces that I tried were all good. $20.00 for two dogs and one French fry. No I will not be going back. When wanting a good hot dog will go to Costco, now they make a yummy dog.

    Stopped by here for some lunch to go. Ordered a couple different ones because I couldn't decide on just one. They were very good, freshly made and I was Happy with the choices I tried.

All the meats were so fresh! We like the beef brisket, the Bullgogi, and the spicy pork belly! So good that we did. Two rounds. For appetizers, we tried the tofu soup, and the spicy Ramen both are must have if you can handle the spice We also had chicken wings, Korean fried chicken, vegetable tempura, fried rice, glass noodles and gyoza.

I waited for about an hour for my table, got to the table and it was clean and the server was cool. We ordered our food and it wasn't like a tradition Korean BBQ where you get unlimited sides we got 2 and some white rice. They also gave us soy sauce and salt, no joke, that's it. I'm used to BBQ places where you get kimchi, green onions, fish cakes, maybe some bean sprouts with one other dishes. It was just missing a ton of sides. On top all that there is no sauce bar. Typically Korea BBQ has a huge selection of sauces you can make or they give you 3 or so to try since the meat might come unseasoned and semi frozen. This place thought, mhmmmm, fuck it, give them soy sauce, that'll do the trick. I was kinda bummed, I saw the reviews on Google and thought it might be worth a try. It wasn't and was just okay, the price was not okay. I paid 80 American dollars for a subpar meal.

I've gotten their beef teriyaki bento box and it came with rice, salad, 2 piece California rolls, and 2 pc fried gyozas. Pricing is $13-20 The beef teriyaki is pretty tender, flavorful, and not too salty. The salad is underwhelming and didn't have fresh greens. The fried gyozas were decent, nothing special. The California rolls were ok, not bad. I would say it's 7/10. The bibimbap was very fresh and delicious but a little pricey ($18.95). The bulgogi was marinated very well and rice was super crispy inside the hot stone bowl. Seafood tofu soup was pretty good and not too overly salty. It was very flavorful and the tofu was very soft.

This meal was a satisfying all-you-can-eat feast that balances quality meats, traditional Korean side dishes, and crowd-pleasing appetizers, topped by superior service from Jimmy. From the moment the food arrived, the presentation set the tone. The table was quickly filled with colorful banchan (Korean side dishes), including kimchi, cucumber salad, bean sprouts, pickled radish, fish cake, and potato salad. While these sides may seem simple, they play an important role in Korean BBQ, providing contrast to the rich grilled meats. The kimchi was fresh and vibrant, with a bright red color with plenty of spice and fermentation. The appetizers looked like a strong start to the meal. The japchae (glass noodles) were well-seasoned, offering a slightly sweet and savory flavor profile. The gyoza had a crisp golden exterior, suggesting a satisfying crunch before giving way to a savory filling. One standout appetizer was the corn cheese--a bubbling skillet of sweet corn and melted cheese that looked indulgent, comforting, and impossible to resist. The fried chicken also deserves mention; the crispy coating was perfectly golden and paired with a vibrant dipping sauce that added a sweet-spicy kick. The real star, however, was the barbecue itself. The platters of raw meat has excellent variety, with beautifully marbled cuts that promised flavor before they even hit the grill. Steak, in particular, was thick-cut and rich, tender and well-marbled. Once grilled, the meat developed an appealing caramelized exterior with just the right amount of char. There is something uniquely enjoyable about cooking your own food, sharing dishes, and pacing the meal at your own speed. The tabletop grill becomes the center of the dining experience, encouraging conversation and making the meal feel more like an event than simply dinner. The restaurant's atmosphere appears casual, clean, and focused on the food. The grill setup was well-integrated into the tables, and the overall dining area looked comfortable without unnecessary distractions. The emphasis remained where it should be: on the endless flow of food. For the price point shown on the menu, the value appears excellent. The combination of unlimited appetizers, numerous beef and pork options, seafood selections, and traditional Korean side dishes offers plenty of variety. Diners can sample multiple proteins and flavors without feeling restricted to a single entrée. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned Korean BBQ enthusiast, this is a meal worth gathering friends and family around the grill for.

    TL;DR The variety of food and some excellent service are…read morewhat brings us back. Notable lesson: Ask your server to let you know when the last order will be taken. Ambiance: Large dining area with ample seating. I'm partial to booths and this establishment has plenty. They also have tables in case you're not up for the AYCE. This is a place to enjoy food with others, especially with a grill in between. Not a fan of the smoke off the grill? There are no drop down exhaust fans that block conversations, but they're built into the table. Is it smokeless in the dining area? All I can say is if I can describe what people are having four tables away from me, I think it's alright. Food: Variety and choice meats are important, and they are both above sufficient for the two hours you get to dine AYCE. Whether you're an adventurous eater or not, there is something for everyone. I do stress it is a grilled food restaurant, so try not to expect much of some items like their bibimbap. Also, AYCE does not include drinks unless it's water. Service: We enjoyed every server we've had, but three stood out. Let's begin with the two who were especially unforgettable for good reasons. Emilee and Kelvin, thank you for your excellent service. Emilee's smile and manner made us feel welcomed and comfortable. As many tables as we saw her cater to, she never let us feel ignored. Kelvin is also a great team player. Just as knowledgeable of the menu as Emilee, he also jumped in to help so that none of the tables were left waiting. Both served us very well, and left us supremely impressed. When there is a time limit, this is absolutely important. No customer wants to feel like they paid too much to receive so little and wait for so long, regardless if it's AYCE. Which brings us to Sue. My husband remembers Sue as the server who refused to take our order after an hour, but most of her service time spent changing the grill (which is bizarre considering she didn't take many orders from us; more on that later). We sat at one of her eight booths at 11:34 am, and she abandoned us after taking two orders and changing our grill multiple times. Maybe Sue expected us to order all the items we wanted, stack all those orders on top of each other for the first hour, then the second hour we should just eat and not bother her anymore. I understand she didn't have a helpful team member, making service slow. I'm sure she knew her limits and so was quick to serve fillers like corn cheese and gyeran jjim. Another notable fact is our receipt showed we ordered multiples of items, but we NEVER recieved as many plates as she entered (because she didn't come to our table that many times to allow us to order). I am sorely disappointed she literally abandoned us for 30 minutes when we wanted to make our last order. When she finally came back to us at 1 pm, about 1.5 hours after being seated, she told us we've been seated longer than two hours and she can't serve us anymore. How did we pass the two hour limit when the restaurant opens at 11:30 am and she stopped serving us at 12:40 pm. If she had not abandoned our table and took our last order at 12:40 pm, we would have finished and left before the two hour time limit. Overall: 3.5 stars but rounding up because of other well-mannered representatives like Emilee's sister. 5 stars for all the times we visited and were not served by Sue. 2.5 star experience being served by Sue. Please don't enter orders that were not delivered; that seems fraudulent. Please be transparent with your customers when it comes to AYCE rules and your capability.
