I really enjoyed this place! Reasonably priced, ordering is a breeze thanks to the kiosk, and the Korean corn dogs are fantastic. We weren't reading the menu carefully enough when we ordered, and my husband and I each ordered two Taiyaki, which if we had looked closer, would have been the same price as just ordering five. The cashier caught it and had us pick out an extra one - I really appreciated that attention to detail! read more

First korean corndog in a really long time and this definitely hit the spot. They are huge and can definitely fill you up, could possibly even share. The sweet potato was my personal favorite after trying the og potato as well. I like how they offer complimentary sauces and a wide variety aswell! They come out super hot and fresh which makes the cheese pull extra yummy. A lot of seating right outside the store to sit and enjoy with friends too. Would highly recommend. read more

Myungrang Hot Dog - Berkeley - Korean Near Me - Berkeley, California

Myungrang Hot Dog is good for a late night snack. There is not really anything memorable about this place other than the fact that it is affordable and open later than many of the nearby businesses (11:30pm). The price range for a hotdog is around $5-7 depending on the options you select. I do like that they come with a side of sauce (and they have a ton of options!). I must say though, the cheese and sausages themselves were not particularly flavorful. I feel like the flavors and quality are not as up to par with other similar places. Even late at night, the service was really quick. Myungrang Hot Dog is nestled up in the Durant Food Court. Although there is no seating inside this particular place, there is a ton of seating and community vibes within the food court. This is a good place to curb those late-night cravings! read more

Must be ok with parallel parking unfortunately. Came on a Wednesday night around 9:30pm and parking was tough. Besides parking, This is a great location! It's surrounded by other places and the seating is mostly outside and it's large picnic like benches. So if you hang with friends, it's easy to get other things from other restaurants and still sit together to eat! I love the concept so much. 2 kiosk to order from. Super fast, maybe like 10 min till your order is ready depending on the line queue. I got the Crouton Hotdog ($6.49) and Taiyaki Pastry (2 pieces for $4.99). The price was unbeatable for a nice snacky meal that will still fill you up! Crouton Hotdog: really crunchy! I like this better than the potato. Has some kind of cheese sauce on top. I paired it with cheese mustard to dip and it was really good (its kinda like honey mustard) Taiyaki Pasty: Totally worth it. It comes out so hot and warm. I got Oreo and custard fillings. I really like the oreo one, it was just like chocolate. The custard was also really good but all the filling was on the bottom half :( I dont come to Berkeley often but if I do, I would come to this nook again just because there's many different food places here and hanging with friends who like different things would be perfect here. (Parking not so much tho ew) read more

They're participating in Berkeley Restaurant week right now and have a few different combos/specials running for this event. I got the buy 1 Hotdog + get 1 free Taiyaki special. Hotdog choice: half Mozzarella, half sausage coated in fried/diced potato. Taiyaki filling choice: custard. Normal prices for their Hotdogs run about $5 and up, while you can get 2 pieces of Taiyaki for $5 or 5 pieces for $10. I liked what I ordered. The fried/diced potato encrusted Hotdog was like eating a hotdog on-the-stick with French fries in 1 bite. Mozzarella had a really nice cheese pull. I chose the cheese and sriracha dipping sauces for this. Next time I'd ask them to drizzle it on top so there's less plastic waste with the sauce containers. The Taitaki pastry had a mochi dough/batter and I enjoyed the custard filling. I will try their Nutella and Oreo fillings next time. Located near UC Berkeley in a small enclave courtyard foodcourt on Durant Ave and Telegraph Ave, which has other Asian food and drink venues that are all quick/made to order with a few bench/patio or inside venue seats. Metered street parking outside. read more

When I was at UCLA, I used to go here a lot when I visited Sawtelle. It's definitely one of my favorites! Here at Berkeley, you can find it in the back of Asian Ghetto in Southside Berkeley. It's not too busy now that it's been a couple of months since it opened up. I got two corndogs: both of them were half sausage/half mozzarella. One of them had the potato on the outside while the other had hot cheetos. You can add sauce and a coating of sugar if you'd like. It's prepared pretty quickly! The Hot Cheeto Corndog will always be my favorite, but the Potato Corndog is always a solid option. I feel that both the sausage and mozzarella are necessary in the corndog, so I always get the half-and-half! There's a few seats inside, but you can find much more seating outside in the shared tables. It's also convenient that this place is on Snackpass, so you can order in advance! Will always be coming back! read more

Not bad but not too impressed. Potato dog hit the mark, but taiyaki was dry and skimped on the fillings. They are generous with the two sauces you get to select, but I prefer a self serve sauce station, like how Seoul Hotdog used to do it. read more

Myungrang Hot Dog - Berkeley - Korean Near Me - Berkeley, California

OMG, YUM! I didn't know this place existed. I was just hungry and randomly selected it while walking through the courtyard. I love hot dogs, so the name caught my attention. I quickly learned the name is slightly misleading. It's more like Hot Dog On a Stick. Yes, the one at the mall with the awesome lemonade, that makes you feel for the employees who are forced to wear the horrible uniform, silly hat, and jump up and down to make the batter. This place has batter that results in a super crunchy exterior, with a sprinkle of sugar (I requested light). All toppings you can ask on the hotdog or on the side. I expected on to mean IN the hotdog but it comes over it which made it unexpectedly so much better. Go to this place and experience the greatness. I'd be shocked if you felt differently. read more

Myungrang Hot Dog - Berkeley - Original Hotdog with ketchup and cheddar cheese - Korean Near Me - Berkeley, California

I've had Korean Hotdogs before and I loved it, so I was excited to try this place. There was no line when I went, so I got my food pretty fast. I ordered the Potato, Mozzarella and Sausage with sugar, a side of cheese mustard and ketchup. It was delicious! I loved the sugar coated fried potatoes around the hotdog. It was super crispy! The cheese was nicely melted to create a cheese pull. The staff were kind and the prices were reasonable! I'd definitely come back for another hotdog and to try the Tteokbokki and Taiyaki! read more

Myungrang Hot Dog - Berkeley - Menu - Korean Near Me - Berkeley, California

Welcome to Berkeley Myungrang Hotdog!!! Located in, what I believe is called, the Durant Food Court, Myungrang brings in another food option for whatever you may be craving that day! They're located towards the end of the outdoor food court. They do not have indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating (if weather permits). To order, they have a kiosk or you can order through a human. Their menu is pretty simple and straightforward. They have 12 hotdog choices, Korean Tteokbokki (2 different spice levels), and Taiyaki (4 different fillings). Yelp Elite Dario O. and I decided to get numbers 1, 3, 8 and 11. Korean Tteokbokki "Rose" aka medium spice and one of each flavor for the Taiyaki. The Hotdogs are exactly what you'd hope and expect-- creamy on the inside, nicely crisp on the outside! They use an all beef sausage, too. They have an option for light, regular or no sugar coating and 6 different sauces. Out of all the sauces, their cheese mustard was my favorite. It paired so well which each hotdog!!! I chose light sugar which was, imo, a great idea because it didn't take away from tasting the batter but also added a nice sweetness. A little sweet and savory for your tastebuds! I'd never had Taiyaki with Cheddar filling which was pretty interesting. Oreo was definitely my most favorite! The Korean Tteokbokki "Rose" for sure had a kick to it! The rice cakes were soft and tender. They even add a few pieces of hotdog! They recommended to dip our Hotdog(s) in the Tteokbokki soup which was delicious! The creaminess and spice from the soup enhanced the texture and flavor of the hotdog! And you kind of don't taste that medium spice anymore lol When we got there, more people started to flood the restaurant with orders but they worked in a timely matter and prepared everyone's order accordingly. Overall, I have no doubt this spot is going to be a popular place in Berkeley! They have a great location with good amount of seating, prices are reasonable and the quality of the food is up there. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't too busy! This spot is tucked in the back of Asian ghetto. There was a bit of a line after I ordered. I could see how there could be a decent wait since there was only one person working at the time but that means all the food is extremely fresh! I ordered with the worker but there is also a kiosk next to the register to self-order. I got the potato mozzarella and sausage. My friends opted for a bunch of the other hotdog combos, taiyaki, and tteokboki. You have the option of adding sugar and sides of sauces. I got a light roll of sugar with ketchup and mustard on the side. It's an open kitchen and I saw the guy make everything fresh. The kitchen was very clean as well. The hot dogs were great. I got quite full at the end, especially with the extra potato crust. The outside batter and potatoes were perfectly crisp. The "slightly wreck the roof of your mouth in a good way" type of crisp. There was some chewiness to the interior of the batter as well. Mozzarella gave a great cheese pull. Hot dog itself had plenty of flavor. The hot dog was proportioned to be half mozzarella and half hot dog. I do wish it alternated a bit more to be quarter divisions for the mix in flavor. My friends enjoyed the taiyaki and tteokboki as well. It did take a bit longer for those last two to come out. Overall quite pleased with the experience! It's fairly priced and filling. I will definitely come back again and try the taiyaki. read more

Saw an ad for the soft opening of this spot while scrolling on IG and really glad I checked it out! They have 20% off everything until their grand opening on 2/7-2/8. I definitely recommend taking advantage of it while you can because we really enjoyed our food. I got the mozzarella and sausage (3.) and the squid ink and mozzarella (5.). My boyfriend had the hot cheetos (11.) and the sweet potato and mozzarella (9.). We also shared a rose tteokbokki which they cook fresh for you! Everything was so good, I would order all of it again in a heartbeat. The tteokbokki was what surprised me the most though. I knew they had to have good Korean corn dogs if they expect to make it out here but I was blown away by their tteokbokki. The flavor was perfect, it was decently spicy, and the rice cake was nice and soft. The fish cake was delicious in it too, and they were not stingy with it. Don't forget to dip your corn dogs in the leftover rose sauce! For the corn dogs, I love that they have sweet potato options. I want to get that next time I go since I really enjoyed trying the one my boyfriend ordered. I also want to try the cheddar and sausage (4.) here next time as that's a usual favorite of mine at other spots. Will try to be back one more time for the 20% off deal! All in all, a yummy visit and great addition to the berkeley gourmet ghetto. Will be back! read more

rating this place a 2 only because one girl was working it. The corndogs were okay pretty tasty and worth it for the price but the tteokboki was horrible. Disgusting it was super watered down ive never seen it include bacon and sausage before yall deadass be making potions and playing in peoples faces. My boyfriend and friend both felt nauseous after this and my friend ended up going to the hospital because she couldnt bare it. read more

Pretty good! Everything you want in a Korean style corn dog shop :) My boyfriend and I were super exited to see a new KCD spot open on Southside Berkeley. We loved mozzarella dogs and had to try it asap. The menu is versatile and a pleasant surprise was to see they had taiyaki! We ordered two mozzarella dogs, with a potato coating, and a box of 5 teriyaki with Nutella, Oreo, and cheddar cheese in the middle. We took our order on the iPad in store and it took about 20 minutes for the order to be complete. A bit of a wait, which was unexpected since it was not busy on this particular day! The corndogs were really good! I ate min eight mustard and sriracha, a must! The exterior was super crunchy and the batter was wonderfully chewy. the mozzarella was perfectly melted on the inside and nice and salty! Yum! The taiyaki were fun. Definitely not traditional but pretty tasty! My favorite was the Oreo one, because it was crisp and chewy and the Oreo in the middle ended up becoming soft, sooo good! The cheddar one was interesting, probably my second favorite. Nutella was not working for me. Overall, this spot was fun! Totally would come back. read more

Myungrang Hot Dog - Berkeley - Korean Near Me - Berkeley, California

If you're craving a korean corndog/hot dog you need to come here. You can order ahead of time via snackpass which I recommend. Parking is definitely a pain in that area so you'll either have to park far away or double park and let someone jump out to grab it. Prices are very reasonable and for the taste. I tried the cheddar hot dog and honestly the cheddar taste wasn't as strong as what I've been used to in the past. Crispy outside and easy to order on snackpass, they ask if you want sugar, and what kind of sauce. Overall great place! read more

Wasn't busy on a Friday evening with only two staff working. The ambience is nice and it surrounding with the neighboring snacks so you can try a snack from one place and hop next store and try something else. The sauces really bought the hot dog to a next level so I would recommend trying the sweet potato and sausage hot dog. read more

went here for a quick dinner consisting of a mozarella sausage corndog & the rose tteokbokki!! when u walk in, its a small shop w counter seating available. theres two ordering tablets, which makes it super convenient and easy to order. the corndog is 5/5 - myungrang is like the og spot for korean corndogs so im happy one opened in berkeley. its half mozz half sausage & i selected a light dusting of sugar w/ sweet chili + ketchup on the side. very crispy and yummy :) the tteokbokki is more 3.5/5. it comes w rice cakes, fish cakes, bacon, & sausages. it has a good flavor, but i wish the sauce was a bit thicker bc it felt like it just slid off the ingredients as i was eating it. it did make for a good dipping sauce for the corn dog though!! overall, solid. would come again~ read more

Myungrang Hot Dog - Berkeley - Korean Near Me - Berkeley, California

We stumbled across this restaurant in a corner of a small outdoor food court with plenty of other restaurants to choose from and turns out it was during their soft opening. Their grand opening is on February 7th-8th for those who find this review. I've only tried cheese hotdogs once before and I wanted to give it another try. For our order, we got the original, the mozzarella and sausage, the potato mozzarella and sausage, and the potato flaming hot Cheetos. We also ordered one of each Taiyaki which is a Japanese street food snack shaped as a fish that usually has a thin batter with sweet ingredients inside. If you haven't tried one of these hotdogs yet, they are absolutely amazing! The outer crust is crunchy and flavorful but once you bite into it, you'll get that soft gooey cheese melt. My personal favorite was the potato flaming hot Cheetos hotdog. It was like eating a hotdog, cheese fries and hot Cheetos all the same time. All the flavors combined tasted amazing! Customer service was great and the staff were all friendly. The restaurant is too small to have any indoor seating but there are long tables and plenty of seats outside. Overall, I definitely recommend you try their hotdogs for a unique fun, yet flavorful experience! read more

Best Myungrang Branch Ever! This location is hands down the best Myungrang branch I've been to! They offer a wider selection than the Cupertino branch--not only serving delicious Korean hotdogs but also tteokbokki and taiyaki in a variety of amazing flavors. The hotdogs were super fresh and tasty, and the rose tteokbokki was loaded with free toppings like bacon, hotdogs, and fishcakes--such a great surprise! The atmosphere is just as great as the food. They have a cute outdoor seating area that's perfect for enjoying a meal with family and friends. On top of that, the staff was incredibly kind, and the owner was super cool and pleasant to chat with. Thanks for a fantastic Saturday lunch! Can't wait to come back. :) read more

If i could give this place a -5 stars I would. I went during their soft opening & their food was mid & their customer service was horrible. 1. The guy on the register didn't look like he was trained. They just threw him on the register. I already knew I wasn't going to come back. 2. The food on the screen didn't come out how they were supposed to. I got the hot cheeto hotdog & the hot cheeto was only a little line at the top when the picture on the screen showed that the hotdog was covered. False advertisement. 3. They had a self serving kios & it took my money but they didn't "receive" my order. Had to ask for my money back. No apologies from them. The least they could have done was just give me my food still. 4. When they ask you what kind of sauce you want they only drizzle you a tiny bit in the hotdog, even though they had a whole container of prepped condiments they didn't offer any. Disappointment. 5. Go to SEOUL HOTDOG instead. That place is 100x better. They have a better drink selection. They have a condiment station. Their hotdogs looks exactly like the picture on the screen. read more
