    The og korean corn dog place, the first Korean corn dog place I've went and have gone back time and time again

    Corn dog with Boom Boom sauce
    Binoy V.

    This is legit the best corn dog I've ever tasted. Absolutely beautiful golden crunchy batter made with rice for a slightly chewy texture, tender flavorful hot dog hiding inside and topped with your choice of sauces - ketchup, honey mustard, cheddar cheese, Sriracha mayo or my favorite one - BOOM BOOM sauce made with Korean gochujang. One corn dog will fill you up good like a big hearty New York pizza slice. I was impressed that corn dogs can be this great - grab this at your earliest craving!

    Order here.

    It's currently under renovation. Was disappointed that yelp didn't update the operating hours. Video update 7/29/24.

    Let me just start off by saying it's a hole in the wall but totally a gem. It's def worth the hype! Korean hot dog goodness at its best. Went for the mozzarella cheese hot dog & also had the ramen dog. It was also convenient to order it on the kiosk and just wait for your order number to be called! 10/10

    Mozzerlla Dog and Half Mozzarella Half Hot Dog

    Such a hidden gem and not a long line at all. A simple menu of just either sausage, all mozzarella, or a half sausage and half mozzarella. I definitely recommend this place if you don't want to wait on a long line like other spots.

    I'm obsessed and concerned of how obsessed I am with these damn corn dogs. I can have 100 in one sitting I swear. This spot does an exceptionally good job at making these crispy, fluffy and yummy. You'd be surprised at how many people fail at making this simple treat (including me, hence I leave it to the experts). And of course it cannot be compared to the frozen ones sold in hmart next door. Fresh is where it's at. No frills here, it's a delicious treat. Go get some dawgs.

    O.M.G. I didn't think corn dog perfection in the US was possible until I came all the way to Flushing for Chung Chun Rice Dog. A few tips if you're planning to go: 1. Check the menu before you go. Our group got the original, ramen, potato, and sweet potato. You can't go wrong! My personal favorite was the sweet potato. 2. Find the ordering station as soon as you get there. Some people were confused about the line but everyone was just waiting for the food, not to place an order. 3. The inside space is super tiny. Be quick with your sauces (they have a few!) and get out ASAP so you can help move the line along. This place is insanely delicious, affordable, and the wait wasn't too bad when we went on a Sunday afternoon. One thing I regret is not trying one of the cheesy ones. Guess I'll need to come back soon!

    The hot dogs and even the sausage in the volcano are mass produced and there's no snap when biting the protein. The volcano also isn't spicy which is disappointing given the superlative description. The flavor's fine though, obviously. But that's not enough to detract from the main attraction, which is the cheese. I started with the mozzarella and the cheese pull was over 2 feet long. It's like eating a jumbo XXL crispy mozzarella stick with hot dog flavoring. Following that ridiculous and surreal experience with a volcano and cheddar corndog made me feel like I was just eating (delicious) breading and a cheap hot dog. So, next time I'm ordering 2-3 mozzarella instead of a volcano or cheddar. If I were to compare this to other types of food in 2019, I'd say this is good not great (4/5). But this is as good as it gets for corn dogs, I think. Are there even other corn dog vendors in Queens? In 2020, when food is primarily delivered or takeaway, circumventing the need for sanitizer by eating food on a stick is fantastic.

    Mozzarella cheese hotdog & Ramen noodle hot dog

    Was going to Paris to get a cake when we saw a lot of people surrounding this place. We looked at the menu and left as the line was pretty long. After we came out of Paris there were still a lot of people waiting around the place and since we don't really come by here often we decided to give it a try. I like how this place have contactless ordering. There is a kiosk outside where you can place your orders and pay via credit card. Once you pay it dispense a number. You can clearly see the order number from the glass door so you know when your order is ready. People going in only when the order is ready. Everyone else waits outside until their order is ready. I like how this place makes the food as you order so it's fresh and hot when your order is ready. They also have condiments on the side (ketchup, mustard and cheese) so don't forget to dress your hotdog. We ordered the ramen noodle hotdogs and the mozzarella cheese hotdog. The hotdogs were really hot just out of the frier. The outside was crunchy while the cheese inside was melted. You really get the mozzarella cheese pull and it was like never ending sting of cheese. I personally think the mozzarella portion is better than the hotdog. The ramen noodle hotdog was good as well. The hotdogs have really good flavors with a hint of sweetness in the batter. Will definitely come back to try out the other hotdogs they have.

    The corn dogs were delicious! It's perfectly crispy on the outside while not being oily and"fluffy" on the inside. That's the best way I could describe them. Because they are Korean style corn dogs, they're rolled in sugar, so it has that sweet and savory flavor profile. Which is different than your traditional style US corn dog. The place is very small. I love that you can order what you want from the ordering machine out front. Once you place your order, you wait outside until your number is called. When your order is ready, only them do you go into the actual shop. There are a few sauce/condiments options you can put on your corn dog. Like ketchup, mustard, cheese sauce, spicy mayo, etc.

    This place doesn't have a sign but you'll find it by looking for a white kiosk and a lot of people gathering around it. You need a credit card to order from it as cash isn't accepted. Once you order a white receipt with a number comes out. You need to wait until your number is called. We waited as my friend wanted to get it as she saw it on tiktok so has been wanting to try it out. It was good and I recommend getting the hotdog one and not the sweet potato corn dog. It gets a bit messy as you can't eat inside and have to eat it outdoors while standing. If you're into trying a korean hotdog I suggest it.

    This place is literally a tiny hole in the wall

    Hits the spot! Was waiting for a K-corn dog place to open in NYC area! It was all the rage when places like this opened up in LA a few years back. This place is in between the Dakgalbi restaurant and Paris Baguette in the Hmart plaza. There is a sign over the door but not over the building, so look closely. There will be a small crowd of people waiting for their orders in front of the restaurant. Walk to the front to the electronic kiosk, stand in line, and order electronically. There is no worker helping take orders- it's just the machine. Your order can be taken in both English and Korean. CARD only!! Then wait. I was #25 and the number displayed as being ready for pick up was #16. It took approx 25 mins for our order to be ready. Walk into the restaurant when you see your number, and pick up your corn dogs. They will already have sugar sprinkled on them (in the traditional K-dog way). There are squirt bottles of ketchup, honey mustard, and cheese sauce you can drizzle all over the food before you walk out. We ate our corn dogs in the car. There was an amazing cheese pull and it was crunchy. Probably better not to wait too long before eating these. I liked the original cheese and the original hot dog the best, but my husband loved his ramen and potato dogs a lot.

    I thought it weird at first-not your usual hot dog on a bun. But my wife wanted to try it out. So I went along. We ordered on a screen outside and waited for our number to pop up. I ordered a cheddar cheese filled; she ordered one covered with fries/potato. And they both worked surprisingly well. Mine was super crunchy on the outside, with a gooey layer of cheese between the shell and the actual dog. Very good. And her dog with the French Fries on the outside also worked really well. Hot dogs and French fries, together. Hot dogs and cheese, together. They work. Glad I tried it.

Plus, they also have paper menu versions so customers can now take a copy to look at what options are being offered at home. They accept both cash and card. Located inside New World Mall Food Court on the second floor. Very close to the 7 train. Cute ambiance of the lanterns. This booth particularly is towards the back of the food hall. I usually get the Japanese-Styled Chicken Ramen because it's the most affordable for its price value ($12.50). No tax has been added to the total. Love how it also has the most pieces of meat compared to other ramen bowls on the menu. I think the number of meat pieces has been increased for the better this time. Would say there're about 15-20 pieces in total compared to the 8-9 pieces two years ago. Got there at 8:40pm and the food hall is about to close in 20 mins. Quickly ordered, paid, waited 10 mins max in the seating area, and then received my food shortly afterwards. Staff is polite + patient + generous. Chowed everything down in 15 minutes or so. Noodles: Savory + Flavorful Bamboo Shoots: Crunchy + Fresh Half Soft Boiled Egg: Soft + Golden Chicken: Tender + Well Seasoned Seaweed: Melts on my tongue Sweet Corn: Lightly sweetened on its own. Ramen Soup/Broth: Savory without being salty. Would always go back to this particular booth for other scrumptious udon and noodle dishes along with the appetizers.

Here's the quirky bit: in addition to the price of the ramen, you will be temporarily charged an extra $5 as a deposit for the bowl. I'm a fan of this because it ensures there's no plastic waste from each serving. (Mother Earth approves this message.) Other stores around the food court should totally adopt this technique. It's just more sustainable, and who doesn't want to save the planet while slurping noodles? Now, onto the ramen itself: it was decently good and satisfying. Honestly, I'm not sure how authentic this ramen would be considered, but it sure did taste pretty good. (Did it teleport me to Japan? Not really since I've never been in Japan. Did it make my taste buds do a happy dance? Absolutely.) I didn't think it was bad at all, but then again, my ramen expertise is about as deep as a kiddie pool. Here Dawan Ramen, take my 4 stars.

We sat at the counter seating which is where most of the seating for dine in seemed to be. The shoyu dipping broth had a very clean flavor and it also came with boiled charsiu pieces. I got the miso version which came with minced pork. The flavor of this one was richer and sweeter because of the addition of miso. The noodles started to stick a bit as they cooled down so I added some of the dipping broth to the bowl to keep them from sticking together.

Midway through, the kitchen guy gives me a can of Kungfu Tea green tea and said it's complimentary. The tea really helped with the saltiness. Overall, it's a good bowl of food court ramen but nothing spectacular. I saw another customer get a special combo meal, which has the ramen, fried chicken from the vendor next to this and a drink from Kungfu Tea also next to this place.

I believe that if you choose one of their standard menu sushi or sashimi orders and pay with cash, the a la carte price per piece of sushi / sashimi is only $1.35 / piece! Well we were famished and in addition to the sushi & sashimi plate we ordered two rounds of sushi & sashimi a la carte. Their salmon and yellow tail was so fresh and so scrumptious as was the sweet shrimp. The tuna was also very yummy and did not disappoint! When all was said and done we were quite happy with our experience with Yoi Sushi Japanese. I highly recommend Yoi if you're anywhere near Tangram Mall or Asian Jewel and have a hankering for yummy sushi. They also offer cooked food as well as ramen bowls.
