    It's hard to find parking in the area. The service is fast though. Clean indoor dining area. There's a Coldstone next door and Regal Cinemas is conveniently located right beside this spot as well, so I'd say, optimal location. The food was hit or miss depending on what you order. Both wings was pretty good and crispy. Everything was made to order, so it came out hot, just the way I like it. The #2 Cajun sausage was perfect! The #1 original, was not it. The meat was not good. I couldn't even tell what kind of meat it was due to it's poor quality. The #16 sweet potato mozza's coating was delish, but the mozzarella on the inside was not completely melted. It fell out like a chunk. The only part that was melted was the bottom, but the batter there was soggy. This was our first time here and will most likely be my last. Not worth it.

    Right in the middle of downtown, Oceanside is one of our more unique food establishments in the city. This is my review on Zzang hotdog & chicken. Zzang hotdog & chicken is the Korean hotdog spot that is located in the Regal theater shopping plaza. They offer a variety of corn dogs & fried chicken. They also have a plethora of sodas, drinks & beverages that aren't widely known. A Korean street hotdog is essentially a corndog with glorified toppings & can also be made with a cheese interior. Typically, a hotdog will be placed on a skewer stick & then breaded in various toppings, such as fried potato chunks or rice crispies & then it is fried & drizzled with various sauces. This can also be done with cheeses, such as mozzarella. What you have is a great Korean snack that has aspects of salty, sweet, savory & spicy, all depending on the flavor combinations you chose to build & top it with. Also, on their menu is squid ink & various styles of fried chicken. In my experience, their fried chicken is actually very delicious and very crunchy! What I like the most about their menu is that it's affordable and everything has remained under $6 for the last 4 years. I feel that the only downside to this establishment is that it is a little small inside. But if it ever gets crowded, you can sit outside in the plaza tables that are shaded. ZZhang Hotdog & Chicken is very popular with the younger generation & with the military, and it is probably due to their affordable menu, fast service and definitely their location. I recommend trying here at least once when in the downtown Oceanside area.

    I love Korean fried chicken and if you haven't tried you should. This place does it justice. I got the 6 pcs mild soy garlic chicken. It was so crispy and still moist inside. Glaze on it was just the right amount and not so sweet. Also ordered a cheese sausage dog on the stick that too was delicious. The only downside for me is they don't have pickled radish, kimchi fried rice or even plain rice. They only have fries as side dish option. Place is down the street from the beach. Small little place that u can dine in or take out.

    I crave this place soo often & it hits the spot every time. I've been coming to this location & the location in H Mart for years. Super inexpensive, quick service, the food is just excellent. My favorite is the potato triple, with chef's combo #2. Always with sugar. I eat it there almost every time- it's a messy dish (in the best way). There's tables inside & outside available! But if you wanted to take it to go, the beach is a block away. Don't think about it just tryyy it!!!

    I will always love Zzang as it was my first ever place to try a Korean corn dog! I've tried the location in Clairemont and decided to stop by this place for a small lunch with my best friend. It's located in the Regal Cinema Oceanside plaza, so we decided to stop by before they decide to close down and build over this historic part of Oside. The service was fast and easy, we asked if they do the hot cheeto style dog here and she answered all our questions. We got the Potato triple to share with hot cheeto crumble and cheese drizzle. To me, it's always a 100% flavored Korean corn dog; but is it heavy? Yesss! That's why we shared one. It's fulfilling and full of potato yumminess, but the fried parts of it can get to you and make you feel like it's a little too overwhelming of a corn dog. The ambiance inside is actually pretty spacious and clean, it was a Thursday afternoon so we had the place to ourselves to sit and chat for a bit. Check out this place in Oceanside before they decide to close down/relocate and support the business owners!

    Food (4/5 stars): I had my first Korean Corn Dog at Zzang Hot Dog & Chicken in Oceanside! Their Potato Triple came with sausage, mozzarella, and potato cubes, so it was like eating a corn dog with fries in every bite. I seasoned it with cheddar cheese, spicy sweet chili, and honey garlic. I loved the cheese, potato cubes, and seasonings while the sausage was just okay. It was a satisfying meal, and I'm looking forward to trying their chicken and other corn dogs! Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: reasonable * Wait Time: minimal on a Sunday * Service: good * Parking: street parking in downtown Oceanside can be a little difficult * Ambiance: it's a standard quick service spot

    Mozzarella!!
    Rosanna M.

    Stopped in for a quick bite with my daughter. We tried the just mozzarella and it was so yummy and crunch and cheesy. My daughter just wished there was marinara or pizza sauce to dip. We also had the wings and the crunch and flavor was bomb. Customer service was great.

    Wow. We ordered the Shrimp stick (gotta try if you like shrimp) which tasted great plain or dipped in to a spicy ish dipping sauce that came with it. We also ordered the potato triple, and popcorn chicken. The prices were reasonable. The service was pleasant and accommodating and the inside had plenty of spaces to eat with a chill vibe. It is right next to the regal movie theater and a 5 minute walk to the beach. So you could buy the food to go and enjoy it on the beach. So it is a great location. We chose Parmesan, honey butter, and cheddar cheese as flavor toppings for the potato triple and it all tasted great. But the honey butter was fantastically amazing or what I call "famazing" the popcorn chicken was good as were the mild and spicy dipping sauces, though not quite as great as the other two.

    13. Squid Ink
    Tania T.

    We are surprised to see Zzang hot dog and chicken in Oceanside, 0.5 miles away from the pier! We ordered Popcorn Chicken, Rice Cake, and Squid Ink Corn Dogs. Some items are definitely overpriced, but all the food we had was delicious. The Popcorn Chicken was crispy and juicy on the inside. The price and portion were also reasonable. The Squid Ink is a specialty Korean Corndogs with half mozzarella and half sausage. You can choose the dip for your Corn Dogs. Price and portion are also worth it. The tteokbokki is considered overpriced if you ask me. It comes with rice cake and a generous amount of fish cake. It doesn't come with eggs. Nothing fancy, just a spicy rice cake with fish cake and green onions on top. Portion was on the smaller side, not for sharing, lol. The service was okay. The cashier knew the menu, but if you decide to sit outside, they will box everything. So make sure to check your order and ask for utensils, dips, etc. It will not come with your order unless you ask for it. There are plenty of tables to sit inside but no restrooms. This place is located right next to Coldstone, the same area where the theater is.

    I saw this on Instagram. My husband loves mochinuts potato corn dog on a stick. We thought we would give this place a try. It is located by Coldstones and Regal theater. They didn't seem to busy on a Saturday around 11:30pm but after we ordered 3 more people came by. Service was courteous. They cook your food after you order so it was a bit of a wait. We ordered 3 items. Their prices were very reasonable. It makes for a quick snack or if you order 3 things like we did, it makes for a meal. We got the potato triple. It was good! They let you pick any sauce and any topping on top of it. We picked the cheddar cheese honey butter, parmesan cheese, yum! The potato was crunchy, the cheese just melted. I ate mostly the cheese and my husband ate the rest with the hot dog in it. 9/10. The popcorn chicken was very hot and crispy. It was just Ok nothing special. 8/10. The shrimp stick was breaded differently. It had a great crunch. I like their spicy dipping sauce. 8/10.

    1. Original Sausage Hot Dog

    Lady that took our order minutes before closing was so kind and helpful. I hate to be that guy but it was a last minute decision, being it was open still. I got the original corndog with cheese mustard and Hot Cheetos ,It was so good and crispy. It had a good heat on it with temperature and spice. Quick, ordered and had the dog within minutes. Nice outdoor seating looking directly at the downtown streets.

    So glad there is a korean corn dog place in Oceanside. Even better it is right outside the front gate of Camp Pendleton. The place was decent sized. Clean and quiet. Be mindful for parking. I parked across the street by Dorothys and walked. It is located right next to Cold Stone. And of course Regal. Coming here before or even after a movie is another plus. They have a variety of corndogs. I am going to try the sweet potato and squidink next. They even sell BTS cups and tumblers and various Korean drinks.

    It's very credible Korean Fried Chicken. With the closure of the other Korean restaurant in downtown Oceanside, I wasn't expecting much from this little shop near the Regal theaters. But I got fresh, hot, and properly cooked chicken wings. The soy garlic flavor was on point. The only thing they are missing is the pickled radish cubes.

    If they use rice flour, are the corndogs gluten free?

    Just asked, everything has gluten. No gluten free foods.

    Late-Night Wings Hit Perfectly After the Kanye Concert…read more Buffalo Wild Wings after a 2-hour drive back from the Kanye concert was exactly what I needed at midnight. I didn't even realize they stayed open until 2am -- huge plus! I skipped the usual In-N-Out run and went for wings instead, and they were spot on. Ordered the Habanero Mango wings and they delivered real heat -- spicy enough to actually wake you up, not that fake "epic" spice some places try. The flavor was on point too. Service was surprisingly great for that late at night, and the place wasn't packed at all, which made it even better. Parking is easy since it's in a shopping plaza. Definitely satisfied my late-night craving. Will keep this spot in mind for post-concert munchies!

    My first time ever going to a Buffalo Wild Wings and it was a horrible experience. I went on Sunday…read more7/19 and granted it was the finals for World Cup so the place was busy but it took an hour to get my food. This is technically a sports bar so they should have been prepared that it would be busy so there's no excuse for the horrible wait time for the food. To top it all off, when the food did arrive it took another 15 min for the server to give it to me. I was sitting at the bar and I was literally staring at my food just sitting there as the server kept ignoring it. Needless to say I will not go back. There are other places I could've gone but I chose to give Buffalo Wild Wings a shot and you know what they say about first impressions. Severely disappointed!
