    Located in the food court section of the Richmond Outlet. The place can get really busy and wait times can go longer. The hotdogs were good. They've added some items on the menu that I didn't see from the last time I was here. They have vegan options as well. They just need a dedicated staff for table cleaning as most of the tables when we went were dirty.

    I like the food at this place. It's at the food row of the Designer Outlet Mall. It's hard to miss. There's enough table inside. Clean. Fast service! There's plenty of options on the menu with pictures. I ordered the tonkatsu dog with Japanese Misu sauce and Japanese Mayo. Flavourful! Im going to try everything one by one. They all look good. Ill have to try the side orders as well! Recommended!

    We hadn't plan to have Japadog but then saw the outlet mall we strolled through had one and well you just can't pass it up for many good reasons! First off the each hot dog is a must have and this time we got the basic kurobuta terimayo version. This hot dog is a snappy kurobuta pork sausage filled with fried onions, teriyaki sauce, Japanese kewpie mayo and seaweed flakes. I prefer to opt for the combo which came with shaked fries with black pepper and aonori (seaweed and salt) plus a drink. We paid a bit extra to try their yuzu Japanade lemonade which was very good and refreshing on a hot day. The service is no frills go to the counter and order and pick up when your number is called. I liked the ambiance of this location with lots of inside seating and an outdoor area with more tables and seating.

    Great spot to grab a bite to eat while you're shopping at the outlets. We've been hitting up the outlets a lot lately and ate here twice in a month. The first time was on a weekday afternoon, when there was barely a line at Japadog. The second time was Saturday afternoon, and we had to wait a lot longer first to order and also for the food. Most of the menu consists of various combinations of hot dogs (including some veggie options!) and toppings, but they also offer yakisoba, karaage, and takoyaki as well as a variety of ice cream and parfaits. There's seating indoors as well as 2-3 tables outdoors. On our first visit, I got the #14 avocado dog ($7.99) and my friend got the #6 yakisoba with a veggie dog. Both were good. I've never thought about putting avocado on a hot dog before, but avocado makes everything taste better! The second time, the cashier accidentally charged me $229 instead of $22. I noticed the charge on my bank account a couple days later and called the store. I spoke with the manager and she was extremely apologetic and immediately refunded the full amount back to me. I was very impressed with how quickly she got back to me and was able to complete the refund.

    Pros: - A lot of different and unique options. Cons: - Overpriced for what it is. - A bit salty. - Small portions.

    The Japadog location at the outlets near the airport. Has a few tables inside and a few outside the door. Not taking cash currently due to covid. Menu consists of their variety of hot dogs, so other items like yakisoba and sausage plates, and milkshakes. Two of us got the signature terimayo dog, a cheese bacon dog (limited time item), a small sausage plate, a mango milkshake and a black seasame milkshake. Total was around $40, so a little more expensive than say a McDonalds but not by much. Took 5-10 minutes for the order to be ready. This was the first time I had Japadog, and the signature terimayo was pretty good. Slightly sweet mayo with the juicy sausage was tasty. Better than most hot dogs I've had. The sausages, along with those on the platter, were closer to a German sausage than a regular hotdog. The bacon cheese dog was decent, although the dog was on the saltier side. The milkshakes were light, as they are not super creamy and the flavors weren't strong. Overall I liked the food, can see why Japadog is well liked in the area.

    The hot dogs here were good. It was a nice and quick place to get a bite to eat while we were shopping at the outlets. We got a side order of fries and two hot dogs. It wasn't the best, but it was good because I wanted a snack.

    Overrated and overpriced hot dog. Its nothing different from a regular hot dog you can get anywhere else. The only difference is that it's "wagyu" meat and that it has lots of other toppings on it. However $12 for a hotdog with jsut cheese and bacon on it IS NOT WORTH IT. I've always wanted to try this. But it's just a ONE time only visit for me.

Pepper fries always . Waiting for my picture to added to the wall of fame ( still )

    Yakasoba japa dog

    Was out at YVR outlet getting some shopping done for Christmas and started to get hungry but didn't want a full meal. Saw Japa dog and decided to get one as it has been years since I last had one. I recall that the dogs taste better at the food stall on the street vs at their Robson Street restaurant but thought would give the YVR outlet location a try. Decided on the yakiudon japa dog without the ginger (yuck!). The bread was much like a regular hot dog buns, which was kind of disappointing. The pork sausage was nicely seasoned and the yakiudon was more like a yakisoba of thin noodles that was slightly too oily. It was a tasty dog but nothing really special that couldn't be created at home. For $5.75 it was a snack and not a meal. Very average dog so there must have been a reason why I haven't been back in years.

    Beef hotdog (Wagyu Terimayo)

    The service and the food is always sooo good! It's a nice place to drop by and grab a bite when you are starving! Always satisfies my hunger!!! We would always get the beef hotdog, but it seems to be new. The Wagyu Terimayo is the winner for us!! We'd drop by the outlet or even order and pick up from the Lansdowne location! Both places are always so friendly and service is quick!

    People have been telling me that this is a must try place when visiting Vancouver..so try I did! This particular Japadog is located not too far from the airport - in a little outlet mall type of centre. Who would have thought a hot dog would cause such a stir? But as soon as we got our rental car, this is the first place we stopped at leaving the airport..lol So, firstly, I don't eat pork. Sadly, the menu here is mostly pork based (I noticed on their website, the menu features more non-pork hotdogs than this location had) Here, there are 2-3 options for non-porkies like me...so I chose the shrimp tempura dog (Ebi Tempura). I must say...it was probably one of the better shrimp tempuras I've had. Not oily at all, nice and crispy, not too much batter and of course it's Vancouver..the shrimp tasted fresh. The tempura fish is on top of rice and seaweed. At first I was like no way will this taste good...and surprise! It tasted good! The crunch, the saltiness of the seaweed, the rice...man../i wish I was having one right now! This location is not a cart, it's an actual restaurant. Free parking in the lot.

    When I visit Vancouver, I got to have at least one Japadog. Now my new love is their ice cream dog. What a genius idea!

    There is an admission fee for adults at $7 per person. Children under 7 and seniors older than 65…read moredo not have to pay the admissions fee. Parking is complimentary. We arrived slightly before 7 pm and the parking lot had plenty of spots. However, there was a line to enter. We were in line for approximately 20 minutes. A lot of the vendors only accept cash. We are from Chicago so we tried to pay with credit card and were mostly successful. We tried several items such as popcorn chicken, fried mushrooms, Taiwanese garlic sausage, eggplant bao, lamb bao, beef skewers, lamb skewers, grilled oysters, and takoyaki. There is an approximate 5-10 minute wait for each stand to prepare the food. So I would say one should expect to spend at least 1.5 hours to seek out the food, order, and eat. There are plenty of benches with seating, public bathrooms, and ATM.

    Richmond Night Market has been around for 26 years now. It is a good concept to bring the night…read moremarket atmosphere commonly found in Asia to Vancouver. It is more than just food stalls and vendors selling jewelry, stickers, socks, cell phone accessories etc. There are bouncy castle, inflatable balls to run around in, zip line, fair games like the PNE etc. What I find ridiculous but common here in North America is having to pay an admission fee just so you can go spend more money on food and shopping. In other parts of the world where night market or Christmas market is a common thing, you just go stroll through the streets where vendors and shops are for free. Buy food and things when they catch your eye. So it's $7 general admission now, $5 after 10 pm for late night. Seniors (60+) and children (under 7) are free. There are some stalls offering happy hours items for the entire night ($10 under food and $7 under drinks). Otherwise food is around $15 on average. The food stalls are still mostly Asian fare. Many bbq skewers and I saw many getting the squids. I tried a frozen banana dessert which was cut up frozen banana dipped in chocolate and drizzled with pistachio sauce and that's the Dubai inspired dessert. Not that great. The cheese coin was decent with plenty of cheese. The inari bomb was pretty tasty. Many stalls are cash only. So bring cash, lots of cash. There is a 3% charge for admission ticket if paying by card. I'll say budget for minimum $100 each if you want to fully enjoy the experience of buying food from a few stalls, play a couple of games and buy things. Parking is free and well organized. There is also a lot of soccer related theme this year because of the World Cup where a few games will be held in Vancouver. I can see this place being popular for young kids, teenagers and young adults as something to do with friends. As I still travel to Asia at least once a year, I can totally skip this. If you're expecting it to be like the night markets like in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia etc, this is not it.
