    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.

    Amazing Korean corn dogs, we have been looking for some good tasting hot Cheeto corn dogs and they hit the spot! Owner/manager was super friendly and helpful! Cute hole in the wall for a quick snack!

    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!

    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)

    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.

    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.

    Potato and Hot Cheeto Corn Dogs

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    2 Piece Taiyaki and Original Hotdog

    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.

    sauces! you can pick 3 for each dog. I like the cheese mustard the most.

    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!

    All I can say is that was one of the best Korean corn dog I've had so far. After being disappointed by mochinut I was still craving a good dog, and this place hit the spot. Crunchy outside, best cheese pull ever on the inside.

    taiyaki, with mozzarella dogs in the back!

Besides hotdogs you can also get 3 types of cheeses, and they even have a veggie option. I love getting the mozzarella or hotdog with the potato crust. It's really filling. For that crust it's good to let the corn dog sit for a few minutes because it can burn the roof of your mouth. The inside is nice with 2 TVs playing Korean pop and other videos but there are only 3 tables. The food court has many large group tables outside. It's worth noting they are closed on Sundays, they also close random times so just check their schedule before venturing out there especially if you are driving far. I believe it's family run, so they take a week or two off during the holidays or for family vacations.

We had seen…read morethe cute little Dojo Dog food truck (well, food trailer) before -- and this time gave it a try. Glad we did! Rebecca was running the truck with her husband, and they were warm, friendly, and hard-working. That same care reflected in the food. Comforting flavors, big portions, and just what we needed. ---- Food ---- The hot dogs here are big, delicious, and fantastic value for the price. Wushu Dog: Loved this one. Inventive and delicious. Great texture, topped with pork sung and crispy cabbage, plus katsu sauce and Japanese mayo. Savory, crunchy, and satisfying. Sumo Dog: Japanese curry beef chili with cheese and fresh scallions. Hearty, comforting, and perfect for that chilly evening. Fried Foods: We didn't try, any but they serve fries and potstickers too. The fries seemed to be a crowd favorite at Great Notion Brewery next door (which is partnered with Dojo Dog). Definitely getting them next time. Rebecca told me she enjoys experimenting with new dishes, and the creativity shows. Looking forward to trying more! ---- Drinks ---- We didn't but drinks as we were enjoying beer at Great Notion, but Dojo Dog also offer drinks like milk tea. ---- Bonus ---- As I mentioned, they partner with Great Notion, one of our FAVORITE bars in the Bay with the best smoothie beers and stouts. You can bring your Dojo Dog inside and pair it with their awesome beers. Inventive hot dogs + beer = awesome evening ---- Vibe ---- Cute little food truck, family-run charm, friendly service, and an endearing hole-in-the-wall feel. The whole setup feels local and community-driven. In fact, it was originally created by Berkeley students. Very cool. ---- Overall ---- Amazing hot dogs, great beer next door, friendly owners, inventive sides, and a fun, low-key vibe. It will hit the spot every time. Can't wait to come back and try more from their menu!

Tallboy's martini menu is well-executed. While I didn't personally try one of the slushies, a friend ordered the espresso martini version and gave it a solid thumbs-up. Unfortunately, the experience falls apart when it comes to food and service. Waiting 30+ minutes for two hot dogs (after paying) is hard to justify. When I checked in with a server, she was curt and dismissive. She was quick to explain there was only one person in the kitchen, with no effort to offer a solution, timeline, or even basic courtesy. I understand staffing issues happen. However, customer service is a close second to concept. How an issue is communicated and addressed is what separates good service from bad. What's more frustrating is that these aren't customer problems to absorb. If the kitchen is understaffed, if tables aren't being cleared in a timely manner at a seat-yourself spot, those are management problems. Guests should not have to choose to leave without the food we paid for. There's a lot of competition out there, and concepts alone aren't enough to bring people back. I genuinely wanted that hot dog. That's probably the most disappointing part of the whole experience. Great drinks, solid ambiance, but the service needs serious attention.
