Despite the fact that I've walked past Jongro Rice Hot Dog numerous times, I've never actually had a corn dog from here. Well, after a night of karaoke, it really hit the spot. I had a mozzarella cheese corn dog with sugar and wow, so good. I love that they have so many sauces for toppings, including cheese sauce. I really loved it. You order outside at the two kiosks. The other kiosks inside are for their two other spots - the mochi doughnut and the boba tea. read more

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. read more

Jongro Rice Hot Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Jongro Rice Hot Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Korean style hot dog has been my favorite when I was growing up. I am so glad that I can find it in NY these days. I tried this hot dog in Queens and Manhattan midtown ( this particular location) but I find this location is the best. I just had one hotdog since I ate already but I used to order few and bring it home for later. This place has been very consistent with the quality and it has been my favorite Korean style hot dog spot. It does sound weird to cover it with sugar( one of the option on the kiosk) but try it at least once and you will know the difference. Korean Hotdog read more

Came here yesterday after work for a quick snack. There was a short line at the kiosk outside but a long wait inside the shop. I was waiting patiently even though I was hungry (secretly wishing it would be my turn soon). This is my second time here. All items are freshly made (deep fried) to order. Like they say, good food take time to cook. Even though it was freshly made to order (probably let cool for abit?) Because when I got my order and after drizzling 3 sauces (Boom boom, sriracha mayo and ketchup), I took a bite to realize it wasn't very hot. Tasted like it was there for a while. Not as crisp. The inside is still hot enough for that amazing long cheese pull. Ordered mozzarella potato hotdog. Picture on kiosk show meat inside so I was expecting the mozzarella to be wrap around the meat battered and deep fried. Instead, it is mozzarella, battered with potatoes and deep fried. Still tasted great. Suggestion: they should update the photos and descriptions on the kiosk. read more

Volcano hotdog is a must get! The self order machine was not that clear when it came to ordering the hotdog and clarifying whether there will be only cheese in the potato mozzarella hotdog or both cheese and the hotdog. I wished that one can customize. I would get everything on it and in it as long as it is savory. The added sugar, which was recommended, did make a nice complimentary effect to the batter on the outside, surprisingly. Potato mozzarella hotdog was underwhelming because it didn't have the hotdog in between. I do have to give credit to the stretchy mozzarella cheese though. Seating patio available outside. Condiments were available. Sriracha Mayo for the win. read more

The employees worked fast and the food came out within10 minutes. The kdogs were delicious. I got a half and half potato kdog and a cheddar cheese kdog. Both of these were delicious and fresh. I have to come back here as i miss these types if corndogs. read more

I ordered the traditional Korean hot dog and thought it was ok. Overall, the corn dog was a bit too greasy for my liking. The breading flavor was a bit bland and was quite dense, which made me feel really bloated after. You can order on a kiosk outside then pick up in the store. There are a lot of sauces for you to add, such as ketchup, cheese, spicy mayo, boom boom, etc. read more

Duuuuuuude. This place is always bumpin' for a reason! $6 Korean corn dog and $6 sugar coated fruit- comes out in like 10 minutes even when crazy busy. They have every kind of fun dog possible, and we came back the next day for the ramen coated one. They are all made to order and SO CRUNCHY AND DELICIOUS! ugh I wish I lived here so I could come every week. Truly nothin better when it's 30 degrees outside. And the hang tulu is SO crunchy and it's a great sweet treat follow up to the dog. 10/10 highly recommend. The staff is kind and works so hard. (They also have mochi donuts but I didn't really like them, so I recommend everything else!) read more

Bummed! It took 25 min even though there was only one small order ahead of us. Ordered a cheese dog and potato tornado. The potato was done in 5 min but we weren't given it until the cheese dog was done which was 20 min later, so it was ice cold. Workers moved like slow motion. I'd say pick another place in Koreatown. read more

One of the few foods I crave and it has to be from Jongro. They are consistent. Dogs are made to order, crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. My favorite is the half cheese half dog. It's best to go at an off hour because otherwise you'll easily be waiting 15-20 minutes. It's with the wait though! read more

Add some dressing sauce is a must. I love ketch up and honey mustard. It's a great after meal snack spot. Worth to check it out if you haven't had it before. read more

Order your Korean dog from the Kiosk outside, hopefully the line isn't down the block because this place is pretty popular. I got the Ramen Noodle Mozzarella Hotdog. It was crunchy and cheesy. I didn't know what to expect especially with the added sugar but to my surprise it exceed my expectations. There aren't much seats inside, this is more of a take your hotdog to-go type of place. No boxes, it's served in a hot dog tray. I would definitely revisit when I find myself in Koreatown. read more

I had to get a Korean corn dog before leaving NYC. They had kiosk ordering outside and inside the building that's connected to two other food stalls. I ordered the mozzarella and hotdog corn dog top with sugar. Item was made to order and had to wait a little bit for th dog to be made. Once you make your kiosk order you head in and wait for them to call your order number. Dog was made hot and fresh I added ketchup in mine. Great cheese pull on the first bite. Satisfied my Korean corn dog craving. There is no standing eating inside the store, but there are benches outside. It gets pretty pack to find seating so I suggest just squeeze into a spot. Peope will move over! read more

Right next to one of our many fav boba places so might as well try it. Got the half hotdog half mozzarella cheese dog. We ordered via the Chowbus app to get $7 off. Sprinkle some ketchup, honey mustard & sriracha on top & its good to go. It was piping hot & chewy on the outside, the inner mozzarella cheese was...cheesy, the hotdog inside was....a plain hotdog, twas somewhat of a letdown as I was expecting something more exotic. read more

It was alright. It was my first time trying these and got the cheese one and the meat one. Did not particularly enjoy either. My partner had the sweet ones. Nothing there either. Not sure if it's the establishment, but food was not worth 2 for $17-$20. Service was using the machine, and the ambiance is chill, but outdoors seating with only 3 seats inside. read more

But there is an area to wat outside like a tent area Easy to order and the food comes out fairly quick. Out of the 2 places to get cheese dogs in Korea town, I like this place better. It's not bad, kinda avg and more like bready and sweeter compared to other places For the hot dog which was good and a plain cheese which was good too. I def recommend getting a sauce on top read more

This stall is one of a couple of businesses inside. You order at a kiosk outside, which reduces the crowd of people inside. Then you wait in front of the counter for your order. There is no seating inside, but there are benches under a tent right outside to sit and eat. It took about 5-10 minutes for my order of 1 to come out, and you get to witness them deep fry it in front of you. You get to top hot dog with your choice of sauces. You can expect for there to be pretty impressive cheese pulls with this. The taste was as expected. read more

Came to Jongro on a Friday afternoon around 5:00pm and was super excited to try my first Korean hot dog. If you don't know the process, you'll likely find a line outside that leads to 2 kiosks where you place your order. Make sure you don't block the sidewalk was you're waiting. There was an attendant there helping out when we were there. The menu is relatively simple so it doesn't take long to place your order and pay at the kiosk and then you head inside. The wait was pretty reasonable. Once your order is ready you can add additional sauces as you like. I had the mozzarella and sausage (hot dog) one. The outside was perfectly crisp. The melted cheese interior was gooey and the hot dog tasted great. I topped mine with honey mustard, boom boom sauce, and sriracha mayo. The sriracha mayo had a great kick to it. I love a sauce and all of them tasted really good. It felt like it was 60% cheese and 40% hot dog and I wish that ratio had been reversed. Nonetheless, I'd definitely go back for more! read more

After trying Korean Hotdogs last time I was in NYC at a different spot, I was in love. So when a friend recommended this spot to me, we had to stop on our most recent trip. You order outside and then go inside and wait for your number to be called to pick up your order. There is no indoor seating, but they have outdoor seating. You can also get mochi donuts and bubble tea from the other vendors at the same place which is awesome. We got the Ramyon Noodle Chips Hotdog. I loved the crunch of the ramen on this one. It was just as amazing as our first one. I'd definitely recommend a stop at this spot! read more

Korean corn dogs have become popular, and there have been a lot more places making them in New York. After dinner, my brothers and I were still craving something a little more and decided to get some to fill our stomachs. You order at the kiosk, get a receipt with your number, and go inside (go past the long line for machi machi) to pick up your corn dogs. These were more affordable than other Korean hot dogs I had, but I think the price reflected their value. I wasn't the biggest fan of them as the flavors did not seem to come together well as one corn dog. The cheese felt separate from the sausage, which felt separate from the outer batter. They have a variety of condiments you can put once you get your corn dogs, but there is no seating inside here so you would have to carefully take it outside where there is seating for customers from here, machi machi, etc. These were okay, but I don't think it would be my top choice for Korean corn dogs. read more

Yummy! The first time I ever tasted a Korean corn dog was in Hawaii a few years ago. Since then I've been determined to get my hands on one again because it was so good. While researching places in NYC to eat, jongro popped up and I couldn't have been happier. I'd get to finally be reunited with delicious snack. We made our way to the restaurant and placed our order on the kiosk. Proceed inside the mochi mochi place to wait for your order. I stuck with the half mozzarella/half hot dog because that's what I'm familiar with. I ordered two and I had them coated in sugar. They were actually pretty good. Perfect crispy outside and gooey cheese/juicy dog on the inside. My fiancé, who's a picky eater, also really enjoyed them. I think I'll try a different kind the next time I visit. Perhaps with ramen or with potato as those looked pretty appealing. read more

NYC hot dog upgrade! Easy quick bite to grab in the heart of KTown! I came here with my boyfriend to grab a "Korean corn dog" as he'd never tried one before. As always, this place nails it with the textures and flavors. Although some complain that they're hard to eat, it never hurts to grab a fork and some napkins! The actual pick up location is inside the small food hall, however the ordering kiosks are outside on the street. We ordered two half cheese/half hot dogs - one with a ramen coating and the other with potato. Unfortunately, they do not offer vegan options, but they have both pork and non-pork options. Once you pick up your food, they have a few different sauces and seasonings for you to spice up your dog! You're not supposed to eat inside the food hall, but there's an outdoor tent right outside the entrance with some seating. The service isn't much to write home about since the ordering is done electronically, but they seem to have nailed the self-service style well. This place is a staple for a casual (heavier) snack or small dinner and I will be returning again (and again). read more

By now, almost everyone has heard of korean rice hot dogs. These are probably the best I've had so far... much better (and cheaper) than the Oh! K-Dog stand at Smorgasburg. It's worth the wait on line, which goes faster than you think. You order at a kiosk outside and then go inside to wait for your order. The space is shared with Machi Machi, so don't be confused. My friends and I tried the ramyun hot dog and the triple cheese dog (no meat). The hot dogs were all made fresh to order and were perfectly fried with a super crunchy exterior and savory filling. There are several condiments you can drizzle on top, which is DIY. The hot dogs are moderately priced, generally ranging between $4-$6. They're quite filling and serve as a perfect snack in between meals. Definitely worth a visit if you're curious about the hype! read more

Jongro Rice Hot Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - New York, New York

Very cool new takeout spot for Korean corndogs (although I believe the ones here use rice instead for the batter?). You order and pay outside at the kiosk and wait for your order outside. Oddly enough there's no buzzer to let you know when your order is ready, so you need to check in after a bit to see if your number is ready. The corndogs are pretty big for the price ($3-5 each) and one is enough for a light lunch. A lot of different flavors that include both sausage and/or cheese filling. I really like the one where the hotdog is covered in sweet potato. A good mix of sweet and savory! My only major complaint is that their takeout packaging isn't that great. If you order multiple corndogs it comes in this flimsy pizza box that doesn't seal properly so you will need to be careful with carrying it home if you do not plan to eat it right away. read more

This spot usually has a pretty long line. The person manning the line only appeared when we had been on the line for 10+ min and very rudely told us that the line was in the wrong location?? LOL I was standing behind someone else in line.. Clearly I have no control/ voice over where the line has formed but ok.. These corn dogs are much larger than I imagined, especially the potato one. The potato corn dog had chunks of potatoes, which basically tasted like chopped up fries stuck around the corn dog. The crunchy combination of carbs and the saltier hot dog inside was perfect. The cheese corn dog is half a mozzarella stick along with half a hot dog, so it is only at one point (the middle) where you are eating both at once. I wish there were a mozzarella + potato corn dog as the combination is amazing. For now, will settle for ordering both and alternating bites LOL read more

A super fun little spot in Koreatown. They have a kiosk outside the store for easy ordering. I will warn you they took it inside about 10 minutes before they actually closed so don't wait until the last minute to go put your order in. Between the four of us we try to variety and favorites were definitely the traditional and the cheese corndog with no hotdog inside. Definitely do the dusting of sugar. Enjoy the different sauces to squeeze on top. Only one other thing that prevented a five star review was that one of the employees was not wearing a mask the whole time and he was eating while preparing orders. I understand the need to take a lunch break but please don't do it while you're preparing my food. read more
