Surprisingly good! I haven't had a japadog since being in Vancouver over 10 years ago. Stopped by the well and they were having a $5 special on all dogs. I ordered the vegetarian okonomi dog - pretty good and convincing veggie dog. I had to go back and double check they did not give me the wrong order. read more

The Wellington Market is packed with a bunch of food options that's typically more upscale than your mall food court. Japadog is a great example of that! More well known coming from the west coast, Japadog is, in it's name a place offering japanese style hot dogs. Both with it's hot dog toppings, to the sausage itself and the sides. Ordered their most popular dog, the Wagyu Terimayo (~$13) which was pretty good! A great wagyu beef sausage, nice touch of seaweed and japanese mayo and fried onions. Overall, this was very tasty, but I felt it was quite small and expensive. Definitely more of a snack angle as opposed to a meal for me but at $13 it's a bit steep for what you're getting. read more

Ok, I knew about the mixed reviews about this spot beforehand, but sometimes you just have to try things for yourself. I can't recall if I ever had Japadog when I was on the West Coast, but I decided to give it a go along with the interesting matcha yuzu lemonade, I think it came to about $18. The pictures of all their hot dogs look so great, but when it came out, I kind of felt disappointed. The photos looked way better than reality. I ordered the croquette hotdog. The hot dog literally disappeared into the bun and croquette, it was so small, more like a snack. I thought we were going to get some proper street meat, but I guess not. However, the server did say her favourite is the meat lovers. So perhaps I just ordered the wrong dog. If you want a bit more protein perhaps go with the meat lovers instead. Taste-wise, it was okay, but I just expected a bit more, ya know? The yuzu matcha lemonade was actually pretty good.. intensely tart, so I'd recommend diluting it with water. The nice thing is that it means the drink lasts a while. read more

Missed out on trying this in Vancouver, but was pleasantly surprised when I found them in the Well Market! There were so many options but settled on the Wagyu Terimayo and my friend got the Wagyu Bacon Cheese and Aonori fries. The hotdog was tasty with the additional ingredients but didn't really get the wagyu flavour from it. When you order they give you a ticket number and call you when your order is complete, which is fast and efficient. The whole ambiance of the market is cool and plenty of seats even though it was pretty busy for a sunday evening. The hotdogs range in price from around $8-14. read more

There is a JapaDog in Toronto?! Since when?! Was surprised to see this stall in the food court at the Well. So delighted! Ordered the terimayo which took about 10 min wait. This was a juicy dog.. covered in a nice mayo sauce and seaweed. I love it, even though I am never huge on hot dogs, I will have a JapaDog when I see it. read more

Japadog - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My friend (who lives in Vancouver) told me that I should try a Japadog, as it is a Japanese themed hotdog very unique to Toronto! On a weekend afternoon, my boyfriend and I visited the Well to try the Japadogs. The service was friendly and our orders (Chicken Karaage and Kurobuta Terimayo) came in a few minutes. Once we picked up the order, we were surprised by how small the hot dogs were (we paid around $8 - $12 for each hot dog)- we thought they were someone else's orders. They looked like kids' size orders. I picked Kurobuta Terimayo and it was tasty, the meat (pork) was juicy and the toppings were fresh. However, it was not amazing as I hoped it would be- it tasted like a regular hot dog with different toppings. My boyfriend chose Chicken Karaage and he agreed that the freshness was there. However, he shared that there was not much meat (chicken) in the pieces of the chicken karaage (so he was eating more of the fried batter) and they tasted bland. There was a special sauce in the hot dog, but he added that he was not able to taste it, as there was very little. Overall, we felt that it satisfied our cravings to some degree, but not great. Therefore, we ended up going to another place to get some more food. If you are curious, give this place a try. read more

Tried the wagyu terimayo dog. Tasty seaweed toppings and a delightful teriyaki mayo sauce undone by a small dog and generic bun at a hefty price. Service was friendly and efficient t considering the long lines. read more

It seems that Yelp doesn't want to acknowledge the Wellington Market has opened and there are several restaurants that have opened as well. My Japadog review was posted to the OG Vancouver listing. Located inside the Wellington Market at the Well, this is the first east coast location (that I know of). Originally, japadog started off as a stand but then gained enough popularity to open an actual storefront in Vancouver. It was exciting to see a lot of choices for this established west coast staple. Of course I had to try the OG Teri Mayo. This version was a spicy sausage with cheese. It was delish! The spice had some serious kick! Be warned, this place seems to have a very consistent line due to its popularity. 20 minutes is a good estimate for how long we waited. Being in a food court, you'll find seating somewhere on the premises. Just try to eat your food sooner than later to ensure freshness! read more

Japadog - 2 spicy cheese terimayo dogs. Actually, they were sausages. - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This hotdog chain from Vancouver has the most unusual Japanese themed hotdogs ever & for not much more than the usual street meat (though they're also smaller than the usual). They get 3.5 stars. Got a love meat hotdog (pork sausage, beef sauce & torched cheese), aonori (seaweed) shaked fries & matcha age ice (bread, sugar & ice cream) The hotdog was decent, though the cheese didn't melt. It was like a pork coney dog with cheese. The fries were fresh enough but not well shaken so the flavour was uneven. It was good though, with nice umami. Age ice had decent ice cream & the bread was warm & crispy. Despite being deep fried it wasn't oily. read more

Pricey hot dog but it's worth a try. I tried the Terimayo wagyu dog and it was tasty! Bear in mind this is an occasional treat, because how does one justify a 15 bucks hot dog. Service was quick as being on a weekday there wasn't too much of a wait. This is located in The Well food court so there were plenty of seats around. read more

While visiting the market at the Well, out of their large variety of food options, I decided to try Japadog for a quick, easy and handy lunch. The staff recommended the Kurobuta Terimayo dog. It was a very delicious hotdog and definitely enough for me as a quick lunch on the go. They also have wagyu japadog that is a more premium option that I'd like to try next time. On top of the dogs, they also have karaage and takoyaki. Their desserts also look very attractive. read more

This is my first time trying Japadog after hearing great things about their Vancouver location. It's also in The Well - so amazing location! When deciding what to order, every option looked amazing and a bit overwhelming since they had a lot on their menu. I ended up ordering the Wagyu Terimayo and a side of butter shoyu fries. The hotdog itself was smaller than I expected, given that it was around 15 bucks. I get that I paid premium for the wagyu, but it tasted like any regular hotdog. I liked the toppings (what makes it a Japadog), but it was a bit heavy on the mayo where the whole hotdog was soggy. The fries were a big disappointment! I saw them shake the fries with seasoning, but the fries had absolutely no flavor to it. It was only the bottom few that had a hint of butter, but no shoyu at all. It was just like eating regular fries. Overall, I was disappointed with my meal, but I'm not sure if the other flavors are better than the one I got. read more

I had my first Japadog eons ago off their original cart in the streets of Vancouver. Ever since then I've dreamt of the day they'd arrive in Toronto. Nearly 20 years later it's finally happened. The dogs may be smaller than I remembered, and definitely inflation from that time has made this much more than when I used to drop off several twonies for it. But it scratched my nostalgic itch. Welcome to the 6. read more

I loved Japadog in Vancouver but this one in Toronto is just not as good as the ones in Vancouver for some reason. I wish it was better. I really want it to be here in Toronto read more

The food is good and the service is quite fast. It was my first time in the well and I was thinking i could never go wromg with this. It was okay. I realized im not a fan of hot dogs but this is not boring. read more

i got their kurobuta terimayo and it was good, but not sure if it's worth the price. its nicely seasoned with the sauce and flakes, but I feel like there's better options out there for what I paid. this location is located in the well, so it's pretty lively and busy. service was decently quick though, and had a chance to get a spot nearby, even though it was busy read more

Japadog is originally a Vancouver establishment and is now available at Wellington Market at The Well. Overall, the hot dog is good, and there are a variety of flavors. The hot dog itself is pricey, however; expect to spend $8-$12 on a single hot dog. I tried the fries as well, and they are good (probably better than the hot dog). Service is pretty slow, considering this is a hot dog place. read more

We were excited to come check out 'The Well' with all these eateries available and one of those to try was Japadog. We got # 13-Wagyu Japamiso BLT-$12.50 Its a bit pricey, but I guess because there is some wagyu mixed in. We weren't crazy about this one because of the aftertaste effect... Hard to explain but I can put it its like eating goat where its more gamey and you may not enjoy that part. Maybe we'll try other stuff besides the wagyu next time. read more

Finally made time to visit The Well food market. Love the concept and architecture of the whole structure. Lots of different eats in the market section. Plenty of seating. Prices in general were in line with what you would pay in a mall like Yorkdale, Eaton Centre, etc. I opted to try the Japadog. I chose the wagyu terimayo dog. Was considering adding a small side of karaage but didn't know how big the dog would be. Anyways it's a standard beef red hot with various toppings. Dog was cooked well and the casing had a nice snap. I should have gone more extreme on the toppings but this was my first time and didn't know what to expect. Overall it was a tasty combination. I recommend getting a small side to go with it if you have a deep hunger or just order two dogs. read more

Super expensive for a hotdog but I had to try. It was super salty for my taste, wasn't that big of a fan. The service was really friendly and my friends and I actually found a spot to sit in the food court. Pet dogs were in the food court as well which was a little odd. read more

Not usually a fan of hotdogs but this place piqued my curiosity, they have a very deaccent selection of menu items and toppings. I had the yakisoba-dog with a side of butter & shoyu fries and the yuzu matcha lemonade. All of them where quite delicious, service was very fast and staff friendly. As for atmosphere its a modern food court vibe with lots of other food options near by for desert or an additional snack. read more
