My children, especially my son, LOVES Hot Dog on A Stick! It's their favorite lunch/ snack whenever we come to Pearlridge. My daughter especially loves the lemonade, and trying the different flavors they offer! They love the bench sitting right up front while they wait for their order. Sometimes service can be on the slower side, but its okay. To them, its worth the wait. There are so many colorful signs posted all over the place, showing all the different menu items and lemonade flavors, it can be overwhelming. But over all, its a cool spot. We're definitely going to miss it. We just found out today was their last day open. 5/17/26. read more

The beef hot dogs on a stick with funnel cakes reminded me of the carnival They no longer have the point card that you get rewarded with each purchase If you want sauce for your funnel cakes it's an extra cost. Service is quick- may come off as rude It's in the mall. No area to air unless you go to the food court around the corner. They are located uptown Pearlridge 1st floor in the middle of the mall. Across Ben Bridge and next to cookie corner read more

Hot Dog On A Stick - Zucchini & fish.... Not bad at all - Hot Dogs Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Never been to the pearlridge one before always went to the windward mall one but they are temporary closed and not affiliated with the pearlridge one...I believe this pearlridge one hasn't been here too long. Anyways this is pretty much a small food counter close to cookie corner (not a place to stay and eat) its a grab and go only. I believe it might have been possibly been the owner or maybe just a manager at the counter....he was pleasant and cool and it looks like there was only one other possible young girl worker in the back. The menu seemed the same and they had some new menu items....Of course like every place else the prices has gone up but not that much... I ordered the fish and it looked a bit different than I remember...More batter puffed but still enjoyable..... Alot of different choices in the mall but hot dog on a stick is different and a cool option read more

One of my favorite places to grab lunch from at Pearlridge Center. 1) it tastes good, 2) its affordable and 3) they give a lot. I always get the Zucchini Platter and a large drink (you can get refills for a cheaper price). That is why i go there, and that is why i keep going back. Also the workers are fast and friendly. I don't have to wait long in line and my food comes out fast every single time too. read more

We don't have these close by back home so had to stop and get a cheese stick and a lemonade. Both hit the spot but unfortunately it took a long time to get my order. They have so many other items on the menu compared to home but I didn't try anything else but maybe next time read more

Carnival in your mouth as stated by a fellow yelper is right!!! lack of one star is cause i got charged regular price instead of two items for $8.98 but i wasnt going to argue over a few dollars ...my favorite classic hot dog - and daughter got the cheese one - both ono! read more

I totally love this place. For the longest time they were only at Windward Mall. It's out of the way for me, so I didn't eat at this place often. They finally opened another location at Pearldridge. It's still out of the way, but a little closer. There corn dogs are ok. What I really like is their fried fish platter and frozen cherry limeade. Their fried fish is one of the best. The batter is so crispy and the fish so moist. I dip it in the tartar sauce and it's just so good. I always have to get their frozen cherry limeade when I'm there. It's frozen lemonade with cherry and lime flavoring. You will get charged extra for the two extra syrups. Their customer service is outstanding. I always get the large drink. I noticed that there wasn't any flavored syrup on the bottom half of my frozen lemonade. I took it back and they added more syrup for me, which I appreciated. read more

Service was definitely better. Didn't go back since the last review. -Service (speed, friendliness) 4/5 one point shy because I SWEAR the lady said it was free refills so we went back but got charged again. :\ -The lime-ade was good! 3.5/5 Ordered the combo fish/zucchini -Fish (3pcs) was...missing in one piece lol over battered and super greasy. 1/5 -Fried zucchini (4 pcs) was also over battered and extremely greasy. Ended up dumping it because of the amount of grease. 2/5 portion size saved the score. -Fried oreos (5 pcs) were thick but light and fluffy. You guessed it, also an amount of excessive grease. 3.5/5 $30.49 for an order of oreos, combo plate, drink+refill. SHEESH. read more

On a whim I decided I wanted HDOS lemonade, because it's typically sour and lemony. Which I love. The cashier was friendly, and recommended this special they had with a small drink, fries and a hotdog It had to be the thinnest corn dog I've ever had in my life, fries were nicely seasoned and last but not least. The lemonade, the one thing I wanted.... tasted like lemon water. It was terrible. I attended their first day when they opened, and it's like night and day. Shucks. read more

Never new was at Pearlridge mall till my wife said they was. I was wanting the fish and zucchini. But I was shocked to see how many different things they have on the menu now! read more

My friend took me here while we were at Pearlridge Mall. She was surprised that I had never tried them before, seeing as they are popular on the mainland. The design and decor remind of the vintage diners or restaurants that you would see on TV. Very bright, and different colors which helps them stand out against other places near them. We got the classic beef corn dogs, which were okay. I liked that the pancake batter wasn't soft or mushy and had a bit of a crisp to the outside. My friend says that I have to try the fried fish and frozen lemonades, so it looks like we will be heading back soon. read more

Hot Dog On A Stick - Hot Dogs Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I've never tried corn dogs and I was so excited to try this! It's literally a hot dog on a stick but I didn't know how it worked?? So I asked the cashier and she explained it to me. I thought the cheese options meant that there were cheese inside the hotdogs but she said no. But she recommended me something off their menu which was a hotdog with cheese. It's called "The Charlie" and it's almost $6 with tax. The cheese was more of a sauce that was spread on the corn part of the corn dogs. It was really good, though. But not worth the price. A little oily, as expected because it's deep fried. I got the beef hotdog with pepper jack cheese. Didn't disappoint. You definitely need something sweet after, though. Just to get rid of that oily feeling in your mouth. Their lemonades look good too. Hopefully I'll get to try next time. read more

Hot Dog on a Stick is like a carnival in your mouth lol. They have turkey, beef, and cheese on a stick, along with funnel cake sticks, French fries, fish, and zucchini! We ordered their secret menu item, the "Charlie", which is cheese on a stick (American or pepper jack) cut in half with a hot dog jammed inside! Yum! I got the beef hot dog, it was definitely on the saltier side but it was good with ketchup. They look small but are very filling, so don't be fooled! It's priced at $4.99. The French fries and funnel cake were super fresh and crispy! Loved it. The lemonade tasted a bit watered down... perhaps because they had a ton of ice in the dispenser. We wanted to try the frozen drink but they ran out and would have been a 25 minute wait. This is definitely indulgent, cheat kinda day, shouldn't really be eating, artery clogging food, but will definitely satisfy your junk cravings! read more

There are not many hot dog on a stick anymore. This place was delicious and took about 5 minutes to get our food. The food was hot and yummy. The shop is inside a mall and it is like the chain restaurant, but they have their own twist on drinks and some food items. Service was amazing and the lady taking our order was super nice and let us know how long the wait was going to be. Was about 5 dollars for a hot dog or cheese stick. read more

This location is consistent with its windward counterpart. We went around 4:00 about a week after opening, and the line was constant but not too crazy. We waited about 10 minutes for our food. I ordered the Charlie after reading a review here on Yelp, and my boyfriend got the hotdog on a stick with fries. I appreciated the cashiers enthusiasm when I ordered this "secret menu item." She was excited for me which fed into making me more excited to try it. The Charlie was good and everything you would expect- a cheesy corn dog. The hot dog and fries were also standard yet good. Fries were crunchy so that's a plus! Some side notes to consider are that The food is oily, so you have been forewarned! Also, I recommend eating everything soon after getting it. On a previous occasion we ate half of the French fries and funnel fries fresh and the other half about an hour after getting it; they were not good after sitting for an hour... Overall, the food here is good when eaten fresh and if you can stomach oily food! read more

hype has died down so now is a good time to go if you wanted to try it, lines arent crazy long. never understood that anyway since we already have one in windward mall, so not like its brand new to hawaii, just brand new to this side of the island i guess. standard corndog, or cheesedog. a couple of options: turkey, beef, 2 cheeses. or you can get the secret menu item "charlie" which is a cheese dog thats sliced open and then a meat dog stuffed inside. made fresh to order, so very crisp. dogs are on the smaller side though. not the jumbo frank type. LOTS of batter. ended up tossing about half of that away. if you eat it as soon as you get it im sure its better. i ate it when i got home, so the cheese wasnt very gooey anymore. corn batter flavor was good though. the cornmeal def comes through, so thats a plus. original lemonade was good too. like that its fresh squeezed. if i go back i'd try the other items, pickles and fish, just to see how it is. overall if you want a dog or cheese on a stick, i'd rather get the korean style ones. more combinations since they're sticked to order. the hot dog on a stick cheese is pre sticked and vacuum sealed in a plastic bag. so im sure the dogs are the same way too. dont get me wrong. theyre good. but theyre not OMG i need another one good. read more

Went to hot dog on a stick for the first time. Pearlridge downtown location. Wanted to find out what my balance on my gift card. Asked the worker that was there for the balance and he gave me an attitude he was irritated saying that I would have to buy something to find out. I ended up buying a lemonade just to find out what my balance was. And I asked him again what was the balance? He gave me an attitude and said that he didn't know. I asked for the manager and he said he was. I looked at my receipt and the balance was there. If he doesn't know how to do his job why is he the manager? Will never return to that business again ended up throwing away my drink and gift card. read more

It's a guilty pleasure of mine but I love their fried cheese on a stick and the price is great. I get two of them for the great price of $8. Cooked to order and served hot. Highly recommend you eat here read more

One of my favorite malls eateries. I have such good memories of going to these faraway malls (Pearlridge or Windward) and getting a cheese on a stick that was freshly battered and fried to perfection. They still taste just as good! Make sure you sign up for the club/app and you get birthday/anniversary rewards and points! Sometimes they even have coupons in the mall magazine. My favorite is still the pepper jack but I have never had anything bad here. The service is always great and they make it to order so it's nice and hot! I also tried the funnel cake sticks for my birthday for free and they're really good! Kinda like fried mochi sticks! A bit chewy and sweet! read more

I've been to the Windward Mall location of Hotdog On A stick before and enjoyed my meals there so I was anxious to try the new Pearlridge location once the crowd died down. My wife and I went on a Monday at closer to 2:00 and there was just one customer ahead of us. My first impression was "why are they taking so long for just one customer?" It took a long time to get to the front of the line and it left me wondering how this establishment handles the bigger crowds. Anyways, we ordered one turkey and one beef corndog with a regular sized lemonade which came out to more than $13. I ate my turkey corndog and I liked it, but my wife's beef corndog tasted much better. The beef corndog had much more flavor than the turkey one did. The lemonade was much too sweet for me is my wife drank the bulk of it. The corndogs were good but I thought they were a little pricey. If I come back I'll buy a drink from another concession. read more

We spent about $25 for come Charlie's and refreshments but worth it all!!! read more

Other than the location, everything is fantastic! The line wasn't ridiculously long. I also went at about 2pm. Ordering was a breeze. The food came out quickly. The service was excellent.

Consistency is key!! read more

Came here for a quick bite to eat. Was pleasantly surprised to see they offer lite lemonade which is great for those with diet restrictions. The lemonade was good, not super sweet and lower calorie.

I usually go to the windward location but for convenience and against my better judgement I decided to stop at this location. I've heard and read reviews but not until today was I personally dissatisfied. I ordered: a hot dog, cherry lemonade, funnel sticks. The hot dog was super soft like too soft, the cherry flavoring was watery, and they burnt the funnel sticks. And they forgot to ask me to add points. Ugh, do yourself a favor and just keep walking.... It's not worth it. read more

I love me some hot dog on a stick! It surely beats driving to the Windward side to get some. I also love their funnel cake fries! It's so delicious and less of a mess! But on another note I ordered a regular size order of funnel cake fries and I literally can count the amount of fries I had in the bag. I asked the worker if this was the regular size and he said yes. read more

Just got the sampler platter, zucchini platter, two orders of fried oreos, a regular cherry lemonade and a limeade. All of it was horrible. The lemonades were flavorless, hot dogs tasted old, cheese sticks were stale, and our kids hated the oreos (said tasted mushy and like cardboard). A waste of $40+! I do not recommend this place in Pearlridge Mall. read more

I know they just opened recently, but there is no reason to serve burnt food. I have NEVER once had burnt food at the location in Windward Mall. Mistakes happen. Burnt food happens. But to try to get away with serving it to people who walk away with their food only to find out at home or seated somewhere else in the mall that it's burnt is JUST PLAIN WRONG! Terrible service. No real apology. And having to wait another 10 minutes to get food is unacceptable! They need new management already and they just opened! read more
