Corn dogs
Angelina G.

Oh man! These were truly the best Korean corn dogs! They had so many fun flavor options. Anytime I'm in New York I consider this a must! Such fast service too! If you're near one give them a try!

Hot Cheetos Volcano Hotdog
Miranda M.

My coworker and I came here for lunch one day and were excited to find there was no line for this food stall. My first Korean hot dog! We placed our orders using the kiosks outside, which were very intuitive and easy to use. We were given numbers on our receipts and waited a few minutes before our items are ready. I expected my hotdog to be much spicier as I tentatively added some spicy sauce on top which was self-serve, on the counter. I'm a little disappointed that the hot dog not only did not feel that hot temperature wise, but was not spicy at all, despite being both coated in flaming hot Cheetos and being their volcano dog. They didn't seem to be much flavor at all in the meat and I think this would've been much better with either cheese inside, or if I had added more sauce. My coworker and I split the potato rings on the skewer, which were quite tasty. She opted for some sugar to be sprinkled on top, but I wasn't a huge fan of that. I do think that the slices of potatoes were great and salty either way. I tried a bite of my coworker's hot dog (mainly the outside) and actually enjoyed the unique texture and chew the potatoes in the coating gave it. If you really like hotdogs, you'll probably like this place. I'm pickier with mine and really need them to have flavor itself to b me worthwhile. A cool idea, easy ordering and they are instagram worthy.

Ate in 2022: This was my second time having Korean corn dogs and comparing it to the first place I had, I would say that Jongro Rice Hot Dog is not up to par. The batter to filling ratio was off and there just wasn't much flavor to the corn dog as a whole.

Contactless ordering with kiosk outside. Wait time it about 10 mins depending how busy it is. There is no seat but they have standing tables by the wall. This is a great place to grab a quick snack to go. I like Korean hotdog and this place does not disappoint. Some of the favorites are potato and ramen hotdog with ketchup and honey mustard. The condiments are self served so you can dress your hotdog to your liking.

Potato dog
Teri K.

Great quick snack... Just wish they had some seats inside. Ordering on the kiosk outside was easy.

The line to order was super long and one of the machines broke, so it became even longer. There was only one guy working though so understandable. The hotdog itself was pretty big and filling and very delicious! We ordered the potato covered one which was pretty solid. Perfect for a pre dinner snack!

Located in the heart of Korea town and it was a treasure. They have many options of hot dogs and I decided to go for the potato hotdog because of the pieces of potato attach to the hot dog that looked so good! Once I got it, I made sure to put the sauces that Jongro had. They had sriracha mayo, cheddar cheese, honey mustard, and ketchup. The sriracha mayo and cheddar cheese were my favorite and made the dog really delicious! The potato pieces were very crispy and hot! I had to wait a while for the potato pieces to cool down because it burned my tongue! The wait for pickup was kind of long because of the amount of orders that come through. They are very busy! You can order through the kiosk or in person. Sure going to pop in Jongro to try more of their varieties and flavors!

You can't go wrong with the crispy Korean Hot Dog! This place does a great job and I always stop by whenever I am up in NYC. Service is fast and good. The line gets busy at night so try to get it during the day. Make sure to add sugar and ketchup. That's how you eat our hot dog! It's conveniently located in the heart of Korean town on 32nd street.

Food (4/5): Got the volcano dog with cheddar for $7.49. Overall decent and a unique corn dog. The flavors and crispiness were good. My main issue is that the corn dog was falling apart because the meat was too small relative to the breading Service (4/5): Mostly automated where you order from a tablet. The food took a bit long to come out. There is some outdoor area to eat. Ambiance (4/5): A long hallway with a variety of food stalls including this place. Other nearby places include a mochi and boba spot.

We were tempted by the viral spiral potato and decided to give this place a try. There are a few kiosks where you can order from and then go to the back to pick up your food. The wait time was a lot, especially since it was a busy evening with a long list of orders ahead of us and only two chefs working in the kitchen. The spiral potatoes were too good. They have a wide array of sauces to put on the potatoes and we tried the boom boom sauce and the honey sauce ( I forgot the actual name). The boom boom sauce tasted out of this world. There is no seating and the ambience is pretty basic.

Sweet Potato Corn Dog, Sweet Potato Mozzarella Corn Dog
Lucy K.

Located in a booth next to mochi donut and bubble tea booths, Jongro Rice Hot Dog has a convenient kiosk ordering system near the entrance. The 3 booths are in a narrow hallway, and there are 3 seats belonging to the bubble tea shop at the entrance. There are around 10 options, and my friends got the Sweet Potato Corn Dog and Sweet Potato Mozzarella Corn Dogs. We came on a Sunday at noon, and it got busier around 1pm. The food was fried on the spot and ready in around 5-10 minutes. There are sauces you can add yourself after, such as Ketchup, Spicy Mayo, and Mustard. Positive: fast and casual for to-go or a quick bite Downside: no seating

Corn Dog (half cheese half sausage)
Mandisa N.

First the food: I got a simple, half cheese/half sausage corn dog and enjoyed it. It's a simple meal, so don't expect anything outstanding. It was still genuinely good and satisfying. Second, the ordering process: there are three different stand within the store and they all have separate ordering kiosks (you cannot order with the staff). Just be aware and read the signs because it can be very unclear. With the corn dogs, the ordering kiosk was outside and then you have to go in the store to the respective counter. There is no inside seating, but there is some outside. There are also gloves available in case things get messy (they have a lot of sauce options which is nice). All in all. Food is good. Ordering process could be a little easier.

Hot dog + cheese with ramen on the outside
Dante M.

My friend wanted to try a Korean corn dog and we saw this shop and stopped in! We've had them before where it was hot dog, cheese, hot dog, and cheese (in quarters) but this one was the first half cheese and second half hot dog. It was delicious !

Are the hotdogs beef or pork?

Hi Patricia! They are made with beef. But our "Volcano" hotdog is made with pork and chicken and… 

What vegetarian/vegan options do you have? Also is it fried in separate oil?

all options are either a hotdog, a mozzarella stick, or half of each, so nothing vegan. it's a very small kitchen so i doubt they fry in separate oil but not sure.

What are the operation hours?

daily 11am-10pm. for delivery, they're open on ubereats11:30am to 8pm and on chowbus they open at 12:30pm.

We decided that smaller is better, and we wanted the best food possible, and after reading hundreds of reviews, we decided on Her Name is Hun. We had a few dietary restrictions in our group, such as no red meat, and the menu had enough options that we did not feel limited. Others in our group got the tofu bibimbap and the gochujang chicken. Even though everyone ordered their own entree, we shared all entrees and appetizers. It was impressive that every single thing we had on that table was delicious. The experience overall was excellent. We called a month in advance to make a reservation. When we arrived, we were greeted, we informed the host that we were here for our reservation, and we taken to our table. The place was quite small and narrow, yet it did not feel clustered. We lost track of how many staff members there were, and our water bottles on the table were refilled throughout the night. The mixed cocktails were delicious and the few beers they had on tap were excellent choices. Overall, I don't think it can get any better than this restaurant already is, and we saved it for our future trips to the city.

It's a little more upscale than your…read moretypical Korean BBQ spot, but still has a relaxed atmosphere and doesn't feel overly fancy or strict. The view from the third floor is also a nice bonus! One thing I really appreciated was how good their ventilation system is. Unlike most Korean BBQ restaurants, you don't leave smelling like grilled meat, which is a huge plus! The best part? They cook the meat for you! Our server was amazing and made the entire experience feel so effortless. We could just sit back, relax, and enjoy our meal without worrying about cooking anything ourselves. A few things worth mentioning: The restaurant is on the third floor of the 315 office building, which was a little tricky to find at first. The elevator is also extremely cramped. It might fit a wheelchair, but I honestly wouldn't count on it without checking first. On the bright side, we had no issues walking in without a reservation! Overall, such a great experience! Great service, nice atmosphere, and no smelling like BBQ afterward. Would absolutely recommend and visit again!

This place just doesn't hold a candle compared to Howoo (or even Cote) in terms of "upscale kbbq"…read more Service was reallyyyy lacking- felt rushed, and at times even rude. Meat quality was good for the beef, but fair to bad for the pork (particularly belly was tough). I think it could be a decent place to get a casual meal with friends, but the prices are ridiculous for the quality and experience. One of my favorite things here was the marinated onions so that should tell you something about the meat. You'll leave smelling like smoke too which is always a letdown...

Sat at a high top by the bar and had a fairly light dinner. The Beef Tartare comes out with a cracked quail egg for you to pour into the meat yourself and the beef sat on top of sone sliced pear. It's a small appetizer but it tasted fresh and clean, the crispness of the pear matches well with the heaviness of the beef. The cured shrimp was delicious, I'm sad there was only 3 because I wanted 5 servings of it. The uni, roe, and soy shrimp practically melted in your mouth. The Uni Bimbimbap has rave reviews and I can see why. It was filling without being overly heavy and each bite had uni in it after mixing it up. If you're unsure about uni, this is definitely a great way to introduce yourself to it's flavor palette.

The tables were on the smaller side, so things felt a bit cramped, especially when our entrées arrived before we were even halfway through our appetizers. I really dislike when that happens. It makes the meal feel rushed, and there simply wasn't enough room on the table for everything. We started with the beef tartare, which unfortunately was a disappointment. It was rather bland and lacked that richness and depth of flavor I was hoping for. Yes, there was a sauce underneath, but there wasn't nearly enough to make a difference. What it really needed was a beautiful raw egg yolk to bring everything together. That would have taken it to another level. I will say, though, that the crispy taro chips were very well executed, and that's coming from someone who isn't particularly fond of taro. Interestingly, the photo on their website showed lotus root chips instead. The perilla oil noodles were another letdown. They were beautifully prepared and cooked perfectly al dente, but once again, the flavor just wasn't there. Technically well executed, but not particularly exciting to eat. Now, on to the good stuff! The Truffle Potato Pancake was absolutely dee-licious! It far exceeded my expectations, and funny enough, it's something I never would have ordered myself. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The Hojok Galbi was also excellent, beautifully flavored and really enjoyable. My only gripe was the portion size, which was considerably smaller than what was pictured, especially since half the plate was taken up by salad. And don't get me wrong, I love me a good salad, but the dressing could definitely use some work. We finished with the frozen Makgeolli, which was such an interesting and delicious way to end the meal. That first bite had a pretty strong alcohol taste, but by the second and third bites, the flavors really came together, and it became absolutely delicious. A great refreshing finish. As for the service, our server had actually been very attentive throughout the entire meal, which made what happened at the end even more disappointing. Without asking whether we wanted anything else, she simply handed us the check. I understand the restaurant had gotten busy and they probably needed to turn the table, but how about a simple, "Can I get you anything else?" before presenting the bill? Anything would have been better than making us feel like it was time to leave. Overall, there were definitely some standout dishes, particularly the Truffle Potato Pancake and Hojok Galbi, but there were also some misses. Between the underwhelming flavors of certain dishes, the cramped table, the rushed pacing, and the abrupt ending to an otherwise attentive service experience, the evening felt a little uneven. There's some really good cooking happening here, but a few adjustments would have made the experience so much better.
