Good for a quick fix or snack, but not sure if it's worth the price. The korean corn dog comes out fresh and the cheese definitely pulls, but it's not something you'd indulge in often. The place is small but it's usually busy when I've went.
Who doesn't like Korean Corndogs??? These were delicious. They also have fries and drinks on their menu. I ordered a strawberry matcha latte and that was so good. I paid $20 w/tax for my meal and it felt a little steep but remember these are made to order since you choose your filling, too, which is mozzarella, beef, or half & half.
Like most I've seen this place on Tik Tok and knew I had to try it. I am a big fan of Corn Dogs and wanted to see what the hype was about. We went on a Sunday thinking it would be less crowded, but we were wrong. When we arrived, we ordered on the Kiosk. There aren't many tables so when someone finished, we quickly grabbed a table. It didn't take long to get our food. I Tried the Spaghetti Kong Dog with Beef, Original Kong Dog with Mozzarella, Original Kong Dog with Half Mozzarella and Half Beef and lemonade. They all were delicious and unique in their own way, but my favorite was the Spaghetti with the Beef. My Second Favorite was the Half and Half. The batter was sweet which gave it the perfect consistency with the salty cheese and beef. The Lemonade was very delicious it was the perfect blend of sweet and tang. The pricing was good, atmosphere was cool, and I had a great time at Kong Dog
I was driving back from the suburbs today and drove right past Kong Dog and decided to give it a try. I like that there's two kiosks by the window to order and peruse the menu. I ordered the original, half mozz half beef. My order took a little less than 10 minutes. The dog was good, I went in with zero expectations and didn't really know what I was in for. Was there sugar on it?! I think so. Honestly, not bad. There were so many different kinds I could choose from but I wanted to go with the OG first. I contemplated getting boba. But I decided to go to a neighboring spot for that instead. There were quite a few people dining in and a few people taking it to go, like me. The staff seemed nice and speedy.
This was fun snacks My husband decided to stop by here after buying drinks from next door. Service - it was on the slow side however he said, being it's still new, it was OK. It's not like an hour wait for the food so he was kinda ok. Price - I saw the previous review saying it's expensive. If you complaint about the price, I would suggest go to Costco and get a hot dog there. This is not a hot dog eventhough you have the option to put a sausage in it. I would say $6 is a normal price. Everything is pricey these days anyways. Blame it on the pandemic. Taste - I like the original better. My kids seem to like the spaghetti and the potato ones. Although we all agree that we all love it more without the sausage. So in conclusion, we will be back here. Just work on the service more to make it a bit faster
The original and potato were generally flavorless outside of the exceptionally salty taste. Pretty sad looking inside - just a bit sterile. 6 KDogs took what felt like 20 minutes to come out and they weren't even the correct ones despite us being the only people in there. Pretty tough first experience
Finally got to try the tik tok craze, Kong dog! I actually drove by while in the area and cut across traffic to stop by. I was a little disappointed that they allow their patrons to cause so much commotion in their lobby! That alone will make you change your mind about stopping. Aside from that, their store is super cute. There's wall for content seekers. Real animated like you'll see it on the movie Good Burger. Now for the corn dogs....they were good! You have the option of selecting a corn dog with a full hot dog, half hot dog/half cheese or cheese only. I suggest getting the half and half. You enjoy the cheesiness at first but the hot dog is amazing or as my daughter says, Fye! Check them out!!!
Kong Dog is a chain of Korean corndog restaurants, with locations primarily in the Midwest. Like most Korean corndog joints, you choose your flavor, and the filling (meat, meat/cheese, or just cheese). But unlike the places we have in LA, Kong Dog has some truly unhinged flavors like churro and spaghetti. They also offer a good selection of milk teas. I placed an order for delivery to my Chicago hotel, which is where I went wrong. Korean corndogs are one of those foods that need to be eaten within 10 minutes of being made. After that, the cheese solidifies, the oil starts to separate, and the toppings start to disintegrate. I repeat, do not order delivery from here. Regardless of the diminished quality, the dogs were all very good. The Hot Cheetos was decadently savory, the Injeolmi creamy and nutty, and the Rainbow (fruity pebbles) a wonderful sweet/savory combination. The Matcha Milk Tea was watery, but decent in quality at this price point. I will definitely try Kong Dog again properly at some point.
These Korean corn dogs were great. The potato one was very filling, even with the cheese only, and the hot Cheetos dog was great as well. They're usually pretty busy, but that is to be expected. Overall, it's good for just stopping in for something light and different. Definitely will go back.
So happy to see Korean hot dogs becoming more popular in America, because they're absolutely delicious. Kong Dog is a chain with multiple locations in Chicago (not sure where else). They have several different kinds of hot dogs, though I tend to skew towards the sweeter ones. I know sugar or sweetened condensed milk might sound weird on a corn dog, but it's so good. I chose the injeolmi kong dog which has injeolmi powder and sweetened condensed milk and it was amazing. I also got it with half dog, half cheese: the best of both worlds. I wish they had a few more condiments like cheese mustard (I've seen this other places) to add, also wish the condiments didn't cost extra but that's not too big of a deal. Can't wait to come back and try other flavors!
I had never had Korean corn dog's before and this was so good! Definitely so much better than a traditional American corn dog. I had the potato kong dog with half cheese and half sausage. The chunks of potatoes on the outside added a nice texture and crunch! The cheese had the perfect pull and texture. Overall really enjoyed this!
Since attending a Yelp Event involving the Kong Dog (Glenview) location, I have been in search of a location in Chicago. I found that this location in Chinatown and the University Village one was the closest to where I spend my time the most. After leaving my barbershop which sits just short of a mile away, I visited as a follow up to try options I noted after visiting the Glenview location. To make this visit painless, I ordered takeout via Yelp which is very convenient when on the go. I was bummed to find out that this location does not have the whole plant-based sausage filling option as like the Glenview location does. So, I ordered whole mozzarella cheese as my filling with an original kong dog, and a sweet chili doritos kong dog. While eating I had the biggest smirk on my face while trying not to make a mess. With every bite of the sweet chili doritos kong dog, grinded up sweet chili doritos flaked off as its mozzarella cheese filling stretched from the kong dog to my mouth after each bite. The original kong dog was sweet and good, but nowhere near the taste of the sweet chili doritos kong dog. I left the parking lot of this location with the biggest satisfying grin on my face. All in all, I had a pleasant ordering experience with Kong Dog (Chinatown). And as stated in this review, I enjoyed my meal and would surely order from again whenever in the area or at any other Kong Dog location. ~Blessings~ Thomas G
Cute little shop and perfect spot to grab a snack. We ordered their half and half sugar corn dog and it came out quickly. They have plenty of seating at the counter tops are tables. Everyone was also friendly and I loved that they dressed up for Halloween!
Genuinely THE BEST korean dog I have ever tried and I make sure to try whenever I see a restaurant has!!! Perfectly crusted and good quality hot dogs. The workers were nice and very helpful. I loved the inside, gets packed quickly as it is small! Not the greatest matcha ever but it was still tasty!!! read more

I was craving some Korean corn dogs and was excited to see that a Kong Dog had opened up in Chinatown! It was my first time coming to the area in a few months, and this place definitely seemed quite popular as the store was packed once I entered. I ordered the potato and sweet potato corn dogs and waited for around 20-25 minutes before receiving my order. I knew there'd be a bit of wait since there were so many customers, but I hope they're able to improve their wait time the next time I come. I didn't mind the wait too much, but some customers seemed unhappy with the longer than normal wait time and minimal responses/updates from the worker at the counter. The corn dogs were quite crispy (especially the potatoes), and I would recommend ordering the potato corn dog with mozzarella inside (for the cheese pull)! Next time I come, I'll be sure to try the hot cheetos or the injeolmi flavors! read more

This is a cute place to get Korean style corn dogs. You can order at a kiosk or at the counter. I do wish that the condiments were in squeeze bottles instead of sauce packets because that would make application much easier and less messy. read more

I stopped here on a weekday afternoon, so the wait wasn't too bad, although still a little longer than I would have thought. I know their menu says they have plant-based sausage, but the last time I checked, it wasn't available in store. I'm glad I tried the mozzarella option though! The Potato Kong Dog was delicious. The price point isn't too bad, and I will definitely return. read more

I was so excited to have my first Korean dog and I was very disappointed. For 7.99 I really had higher expectations. I think I could do a better job at home making this. I got the cheese filled hot Cheeto dog. Maybe for 3.98 it would have better stars but not for the price. read more

I got the potato Kong dog with half beef and half mozz. It was worth it even though I had to wait a pretty long time (which was to be expected since it was super busy). I wish I only got mozz though because I preferred it to the beef hotdog. The outside of the corndog was crunchy and had sugar on one side. The mozz was chewy yet flowy and had a good cheese pull. read more

What a great concept! Employees were friendly, we ordered 5 different types and my favorite was hot Cheetos for sure!! Cute searing area and close to outside seating. Came in from Atlanta and went straight there! read more
I've never had Korean dogs but they were delish. However, the place was dirty! The bathroom needed the toilet fixed so it didn't spray on the seat, toilet paper and paper towels needed restocked, trash needed taken out. I was desperate, but I wouldn't use it again unless I absolutely needed to. Overall music selection was also questionable and could've used a family friendly filter. read more

I really liked these Korean corn dogs. They were a nice concept and surprisingly flavorful. We tried the hot cheeto kong dog, the sweet potato kong dog, the spaghetti kong dog and the cheese kong dog. I liked all of them. The vibe is fun and free. It seemed everyone that came in while we were there had an upbeat and happy air to them. read more

I pass by Kong Dog every weekend, and I keep telling myself I'll eventually try a Korean style corn dog. Well, today is the day. My partner ordered one for me to go, and this is definitely the kind of meal that you'd want to dine in for especially if cheese is your filling so you can get that cheese pull. I ended up trying their hot cheeto Kong dog with a cheese filling. I was initially skeptical because I've never liked the American corn dogs, and I don't love hot dogs like that. This is definitely game changing and not what I expected in a good way. It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and I love that it's not just hot Cheeto dust, they actually have pieces of Flamin hot Cheetos in it. I love that I was able to pick cheese as the filling instead of beef, or half cheese and beef. The packaging was also really neat, so I didn't make a mess, and if it's so good as a take out. I can only imagine dining in there. They're always busy, they have self check out kiosks as well as a staff member behind the counter. She was really friendly and was able to locate my order right away. I was in and out really quickly. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for Korean style corn dogs, it's definitely worth the hype, and you'll have to come see for yourself. There's a free parking lot but shared with all of the other businesses in this strip, so it's first come first serve and can be a hot mess. That's why I prefer to grab and go. read more
