Never ordering delivery for this place again! Had to wait over an hour for my DoorDash delivery and ordered three cheese dogs and two milkis and only got one of the dogs and one of the milkis. I really needed the full order for tonight and all I could get was a refund from DoorDash only for the missing items. Definitely not worth for me to still be paying $12 for one hot dog and drink in my opinion alongside the fee and taxes... Food is good but very frustrating with the long wait and not even getting everything I needed and I'm still hungry... read more

New go to spot in the Ballston Quarter Market! Spectacular introduction to Korean Street food in Arlington. The staff members are helpful, quick, and efficient. They have specific tables and chairs right near the restaurant, but you can sit anywhere you like in Ballston Quarter Market, inside or outside! I appreciate the great visuals on their menu. This is really helpful when trying to decide what to order! Both K-Dogs and Egg Toast are both amazing. The sugar on the outside of the K-Dogs makes a great contrast to the savory cheese and hot dogs inside. You can mix and match with all hot dog, all cheese, or half and half on the inside. Also you can get small potatoes on the outside for extra crunch and texture! I love it here! So glad this has been added to the variety of restaurants in Ballston. read more

I got a Squid Ink Half & Half - although the shape was cute, the hot dog that poked out of the bottom was very rubbery from being deep fried. The exterior of the corndog was crispy, but the batter was too thick for my preference. There was great cheese pull which was really satisfying. Oh K-Dog had a large range of sauces but no spicy mayo - the sweet chili was a good substitute though. read more

Bottom line: Good spot for your Korean street food fix. Took one star off for slow service and another because I didn't think the tteokbokki was as good as I've had elsewhere. The dogs themselves are five stars. We had three k-dog flavors - rice cake, mozzarella, and regular hot dog. All three were excellent and crispy. The tteobokki was really watery compared to others I've had before. The service was remarkably slow. I'm not sure if they were not staffed well enough or if the team was just not efficient. It wasn't very crowded when we went so that's why it was surprising. Also they have a large TV screen of mainly women eating the k-dogs in a semi-suggestive way, which didn't sit well with me! read more

Came here for the two must-haves: the egg toast sandwich and the Korean corn dog. If it's your first time trying either of these foods, I highly recommend ordering both for the full experience. Both orders have the perfect amount of crunch. The bread of the egg toast sandwich is the softest bread I've ever had!! Fast service too but always made so well!!

If you've never had a Korean Corn Dog, you need to try this out! This spot is always one of my favorites because they have so many sauce and powder options. They're known for their MOZZA DOG. They make for the perfect cheese pulls too! If you're looking for something unique, squid ink is definitely the way to go. If you love crispy and added texture, I highly recommend getting the potato on the outside. My personal favorite is half mozza, half dog with potato on the outside! It's not on the menu, but you can ask for it. Make sure to ask the staff for their favorite sauce combinations, and don't be afraid to combine a bunch of them. The sweet chili was my favorite. Don't forget about their toast too! They're served on a fluffy toast. I recommend upgrading to the garlic bread toast. Bacon and cheese is a classic, but I loved the avocado egg for its creaminess. read more

It's good, it's fun to eat and very good. I wish it was a little cheaper cause not sure if what you're getting is worth the price but the flavor is on point. The hot dog is stringy and satisfying and there is every type of condiment available for you. The egg toast is so light and fluffy, like eating a cloud. Overall would definitely get again, but still cringe a little at the price. read more

I've been to Oh K-Dog in Georgia so I had high hopes for this one! I ordered the half sausage half cheese dog sprinkled with sugar. You can drizzle and sprinkle with any sauce as much as you want. I drizzled with some honey mustard, cheese mustard. and chili sauce and then sprinkled it with onion powder. My go-to order is the potato mozza dog which is always a 10/10 but this half and half was also delightful! This location also has the toasts!

It's fun to eat stringy cheese or processed meat, deep fried and covered in fries. But it's really a novelty for people that haven't had it and want to try it. Having the sauces (which are supplied at the pick-up counter in squeeze bottles) adds to the flavor. There's one person processing orders and making the food once you've entered it in the self-service system, so the food may be delayed if you're looking for faster service. It's mall food style, so there isn't much ambiance apart from watching mukbang videos on their TV eating the very thing you're waiting to have. read more

Solid spot for a bite / snack. I've tried their mozzarella dogs before as a snack (ok, heavier snack) and it was satisfying. This time around I tried their bacon & cheese egg toast as breakfast / brunch and it was actually really good! They do have some sweet flavors in the toast which I just personally don't love but overall it was still very tasty. A lot of eggs and definitely filling enough. I look forward to trying some of their other items! read more

I was psyched to try this place and was incredibly disappointed. The breading is too thick and cardboard-like, the hot dogs are your basic low-tier grocery store dogs. The cheese is fine.

The best spot and closest spot from DC proper to get Korean style hot dog! Believe it or not, our first time trying K-dog was in Columbus Ohio and we were hooked! When this place opened, I was so excited. The hot dogs are all good. The sandwich was good as well. Service can be better. They received so many orders and there were only 2 people working. One of the workers had to focus on receiving orders and prep the food. I noticed the same problem with the establishment in CBUS.

We got the classic k-dog and dressed it up with garlic sauce, honey mustard, and some hot seasoning. The sauces and seasoning options really make it!

One honest note for my fellow purists: the buns are hearty, so if you're a classic bun person like me, the ratio leans a little bread-forward. Personal preference. But here's the tip that makes all the difference: order the half smoke. Bigger, beefier, and it fills that bun the way nature intended. That's the move.

Who was Weenie Beenie and what is it like? We had no idea but we knew they were one of the first,…read moreif not the first, to serve the legendary half-smoke sausages only available in DC. The visit was unique, the story is unique and the food is unique! Let's do this! Established in 1950 or 1954 (reports vary but the sign on the building says 1954), Weenie Beenie was a modest hot dog stand serving hot dogs and beans. It was started by two brothers, Carl and Bill Staton. Bill happened to be an incredible and ultimately famous traveling pool player who went by the name... you guessed it... Weenie Beenie! He won 27k in Arkansas (which is a LOT of money in the 1950's) and used the money to finance the hot dog stand's growth! He appeared on television, played hustlers across the country, and backed other hustlers while living the pool and entrepreneur life. During the 50's, a period of entrenched segregation in Virginia, Weenie Beenie distinguished itself by hiring black employees on the same terms as whites when most white‑owned businesses would not hire blacks at all. This made Weenie Beenie a rare example of early workplace integration in Arlington and a meaningful employer within the historically Black Green Valley community. Its reputation for fairness became a very important part of its legacy, remembered along with the food and its very colorful founder. We popped over and found a 70+ year old walk-up stand with a colorful, diverse and engaging set of customers and friendly service. In faded letters on the front wall to the left are the 10 commandments! No breaking any divine rules at Weenie Beenie's! We all chatted and I learned the one guy comes every day! The old man in the suit was very polite and reserved. The younger Latin and black clientele were fun and engaging and we joked around quite a bit. Another older man was as 38-year veteran of the armed service! Thank you sir! I heard some stories... Of course, we ordered half-smokes! They are well-seasoned half-pork, half beef, smoked sausages that are truly incredible. Weenie Beenie's are unique and delicious! Life is good with a historic, unique, fun and respectful half smoke.

The bun was dry and it fell apart before I was finished. But the "small" fries turned out to be a whole sack of fries. But before you say yay, these fries were oily and limp and I could only eat some of them. It's a build your own burger emporium. The toppings list showed only fried onions and so I asked if they had fresh onion. The cashier didn't know what fresh onion was, but did know what raw onion was. I wanted to try the onion rings, but had the sense to ask if they were beer-battered. When she told me they were, I took a hard pass. No Coke products were available, only Pepsi. That's never a good thing. And why did my receipt show the business name as "Maman Joon"? I wouldn't say the burger was bad, but considering the not great fries with too high prices (including a $2.24 service and packaging fee) and a stark and uninviting ambience, I can't give more than two stars.

The lighting and atmosphere make it perfect for a night out, whether it's a date or dinner with friends. The steak was cooked beautifully -- tender, flavorful, and perfectly seared.

The cocktails were balanced and strong (in a good way), and the wine selection complemented the meal perfectly. Service was attentive without hovering, and the pacing of the meal felt just right. Only reason it's not a full 5 stars? It can get a little loud when it's busy, but honestly, that energy adds to the charm. Overall, Mele Bistro is a spot I'd definitely go back to.

Palette 22

Palette 22 had been on our list for the longest time, and now we're just upset we didn't try it…read moresooner! We went on a Saturday night and made a reservation, which I'd definitely recommend. The space is so unique and artsy. The walls are covered with beautiful artwork (some of which you can actually purchase), and even the menus are works of art. It made the whole experience feel fun and creative. The staff was wonderful, especially our server Noah, who was incredibly attentive and made the experience even better. We did the bottomless dinner, and the value is honestly unbeatable. We tried the grilled gem lettuce, marinated cucumbers, street corn, hoisin-glazed pork belly bao buns, P22 cheeseburger sliders, spicy shrimp & pancetta pizza, funghi pizza, dan dan noodles, rigatoni norcina, and the sesame steak skewers. Everything was delicious, but the standouts were the dan dan noodles (rich, savory, and packed with flavor), the funghi pizza (crispy with earthy mushrooms and perfectly melted cheese), and the sesame steak skewers (tender, juicy, and coated in a flavorful sesame glaze). The hoisin-glazed pork belly bao buns were soft, fluffy, and packed with melt-in-your-mouth pork, while the rigatoni norcina was creamy, comforting, and perfectly cooked. The grilled gem lettuce was also a fresh, flavorful way to start the meal. For drinks, the white sangria and pomegranate ginger mocktail were both refreshing and delicious. Dessert didn't disappoint either, the flourless chocolate cake (with candied pecans instead of hazelnuts) was rich without feeling too heavy, and the churros were light, crispy, and perfect with the caramel and chocolate dipping sauces. We finished with cappuccinos, which were the perfect ending to the meal. 10/10 experience, we'll definitely be back!

This was probably my fourth visit to Palette 22. The first time I came, I really enjoyed it, but on…read moresubsequent visits I felt the quality had declined, which is why I stayed away for a while. I decided to give it another shot after they brought back their bottomless dinner and introduced a few new menu items. We opted for the bottomless option and ended up trying almost everything on the menu. Unfortunately, nothing really stood out enough for me to order a second time. The biggest surprise was the butter chicken, which had corn mixed into it for some reason. The street corn was also disappointing, lacking the flavor I was expecting. The lumpia and shrimp tacos were decent but fairly forgettable. The dishes I enjoyed the most were the Cubano sliders and the steak skewers, but my favorite plate of the night was actually the chilled udon noodles. They were refreshing, well-balanced, and one of the few dishes I'd happily order again. One thing Palette 22 continues to do well is the atmosphere. The restaurant has a fun, artsy vibe with colorful murals, paintings, and graffiti covering the walls, making it an enjoyable place to spend an evening. The service was also efficient. We were allowed to order two small plates per person at a time, and each round arrived quickly, so there was very little waiting between orders. Overall, I think Palette 22 is worth trying at least once, especially if you go for the bottomless dinner/brunch. The value is much better than ordering the same dishes à la carte. That said, because the menu doesn't change very often, repeat visits can start to feel repetitive. Unless they significantly refresh the menu, I probably won't be returning again anytime soon.

You truly can't go wrong with either one. They have a robust drink menu. They are lacking a cider on tap but it is what it is.

I was in the patio with friends, in the corner, not bothering anyone -- not fighting, not yelling, not approaching strangers. Security walked up, said there was "a complaint," refused to say who it was from, refused to say what it was about, refused to let me talk to the manager, and refused to even let me back inside to grab my own card. My friends asked him to stop. He ignored them. This is the second time their security has unfairly targeted me. The first time I had just stepped outside to take a phone call. The same guard ran after me and started accusing me of stealing -- but couldn't say what was supposedly stolen or who had complained, because nobody actually had. I told him my laptop and jacket were inside at the bar and that all the bartenders know me. He eventually apologized once it became obvious he had nothing. Same guy, same pattern, different night. Also worth knowing: my friend and I had just ordered around $100 in food and drinks at the end. Nothing finished. No refund offered, no apology, no manager. If management thinks letting one guard humiliate paying customers in front of their friends is good for business, here's your feedback.

Oh K Dog is a trendy Korean-style hot dog stand located in the Ballston Quarter food court. The ambiance is welcoming, with mukbang eating shows playing on the TV screens. Service is quick, with hot dogs served in under 5 minutes. They offer a variety of sauce options for customization. However, the hot dog itself was mediocre. The batter was crunchy but separated from the hot dog and cheese. There wasn't enough cheese inside, and the hot dog felt low quality. The staff was friendly, but I wouldn't go back with high expectations. Worth trying once, but don't expect too much. read more
