Taro milk tea
Tippy P.

We went to check out a new Korean corndog place that recently opened near my cousin's house. We ordered the original and the hot cheeto corn dog. They also have bubble tea. It took about 10 minutes to get our food, looks like there was 1 person working in the kitchen and 1 person in the front making the drinks. There's a cool sign with the logo for pictures, but nobody wanted to take pictures. Otherwise the restaurant is cute, I can see the young ones hanging out here.

The location

This is a wonderful spot for an out of the box meal! The customer service is phenomenal every single time. The food is fresh made to order and the flavors complement each other in such an unexpected delightful way. This is a very interactive experience in a very unique whimsical environment. This place is always white glove clean. These are hardworking professionals here! The girl working the counter remembered me from last week. I very much enjoyed the small talk with her and I felt special being remembered like that. It's a little touches like that that mean a lot to me personally can't say enough good things about this place.

After seeing the line down the street for their booth at CelebrAsian, I finally visited the store in Ankeny and WOW! Now I know what the fuss was all about at Asian Fest. Amazing Korean hot dogs. This was my first visit, so the owner gave me some great recommendations. I had the half mozzarella, half cheddar filling with Hot Cheetos dip and Sriracha mayo dipping sauce. Phenomenal! So delicious! I can't wait to go back to try one of the hot dog versions. They have a great selection of drinks, too. Try this place ... you won't be disappointed!

Ube Cheese, Potato Fries, Flaming Hot Cheetos

Super excited that a Korean corn dog place opened up! First the corn dogs itself: they are perfectly fried and generous with the cheese, you will 100% get that photo worthy stretchy cheese bite. I have gone here twice and have gotten to try all but the sweet potato one. I loved the Ube one with a bit sugar on it. It is sweet and savory and the color is a nice purple inside. The potato one has some nice crispy potatoes on the outside, for these I recommend doing half cheese half sausage. It might not seem like a lot but just one can be quite filling. The Flaming hot Cheetos is another delicious choice but don't recommend putting sugar on it unless your into that. Condiments are an extra cost by the way. The drinks: I've gotten three different drinks here and if I'm being honest the bubble tea is quite frankly average, they aren't particularly amazing or bad. Any topping including tapioca pearls will be extra, same with ice levels. Their fruit flavored options will pretty much be a slushy and not a tea. Inside: The decor is cute inside but very limited space which means only a tiny bit of seating. The times I've gone because it had just opened theres been a huge and very confusing line. The wait currently for food is long, as their kitchen looks to be manned by only one or two people at a time, so please be patient as they are a small business. I promise the corn dogs are worth the wait. Overall George says he enjoyed it! Chomp chomp!

So so glad this is here! I've always wanted to try K-Dogs, and I never thought I'd be able to in IA. I'm unsure when this place opened, but they're great! The food is spectacular, and the vibes are cute inside. Thank you!

From front to back; classic, ube, hot Cheetos

Service was good. It wasn't very busy when we went in. And they had a sign on the door that they weren't making boba teas that day (bummer!) my husband got the hot cheeto dog, I got the classic, and we got an ube to share! All three were awesome! The only thing I will say is that the tv was sooo loud. We couldn't hear each other over it. We will be back to hopefully try the boba teas!

Cheese filled corn dog with potato outside and Spicy Mayo
Shelby B.

AMAZING!! So glad we finally got a bubble tea place in Ankeny! Ordered online and picked up in store, very fast and efficient! The food was so good! Very large, I couldn't finish it! I also got their Thai tea with honey boba and almond milk and chefs kiss so good! Will definitely be going back! The store is also so cute and cozy definitely a good vibe. Would definitely be a good study spot for the college students!

Potato fries corn dog with ketchup and sugar and a hot Cheetos corn dog

The Korean corn dogs were SO good. They were crunchy and delicious. The service was great, very nice people. I ordered a strawberry cheese cream drink with strawberry popping boba and it was very good. I definitely plan on visiting again.

a plastic cup with a drink in it

I feel like this place was unfortunately over-hyped. ): we got a large brown sugar jasmine tea with boba pearls & a small peach slushy with boba pearls for the drinks. we also got a hot cheeto half&half corndog & a potato half&half corndog. our total was $30 with a tip. ** pictures for size reference ** the jasmine tea was something new for me & it was odd at first but grew on me. the boba is pretty small for being an add on & i have preferred another place that has larger pearls. the peach slushy lacked peach flavor but it was okay. the corndogs were pretty good, the hot cheeto being our preferred over the potato which didn't taste like much. maybe we needed sauce? but we did not want to pay additional for sauce. i feel like the prices are a little on the higher side - i enjoy another location whose drinks are a tad smaller but their boba pearls are larger for around the same price if not a little bit less. $30 seemed to be a lot for what we got, but, the corndogs filled us up. the service was good, nice staff. i don't think i would come again though based on the boba size & the price. i wasn't wowed unfortunately):

I knew we were in the right place when we walked I. And half of the restaurant were Vietnamese peeps. Was a warming experiencing hearing patrons throw a few traditional Lunar New Year greetings at each other and the owners. It's a small mom and pop shop, so much so, pop was the sole soldier working the entire front of the house. As such, don't expect super fast service, but good service nonetheless. We started with the fresh spring rolls, which were good, and their fried egg rolls, which I probably won't order again. The egg rolls were pretty much veggies, loosely filled, and served with a sweet and sour type dipping sauce. It was more of an Americanized Chinese style egg roll, not a Vietnamese cha gio with nouc cham. I ordered the pho dac biet and it was VERY good. The large is HUGE. Most places back home have suffered from shrink-flation and large bowls are tiny now. Not this place, I struggled to finish the bowl. My friends got the seafood pho, and another got the pho ga (chicken). I of course did not slide my chopsticks in theirs and swipe a bite, but they said they enjoyed theirs. I would definitely come back here again and maybe try some of their other dishes.

I love the entire concept of what is happening with this food court with some better small family-owned businesses having restaurants there. this eclectic mix has been good there's some good independent barbecue independent Vietnamese independent Mediterranean independent Italian and really the only chain is a Maid Right. You have really accessible parking right next to Kohl's and if you take a little later lunch you'll have no problem parking going in and either sitting in a safe distance at your own table or getting something to go. My friends and I usually go to lunch after 1:00 and each sit at their own table and wear masks and go for a little walk when we're done eating. The ceilings are very high on the air circulation is good so there is risk but it seems to be minimized. The staff and all the restaurants wear masks gloves in the mall has people sanitizing the tables in between each use and putting a table poster indicating that the table has been sanitized. The lady, who runs the place is very polite and accommodating and goes out of her way to make sure everything is clean, fresh, and flavorful. I had the Pork and Shrimp Noodle Soup (hu tieu), and it was outstanding it was a clear flavorful broth that just was so good. The noodles were not overdone and a medium was more than enough for me for lunch. They have some Sriracha there if you want to spice it up a little. it's a well-kept secret and a nice gem in Des Moines to get some multiple to-go orders from different businesses and satisfy everybody's taste cravings or to sit with social distance and have choices.

We got the pho, which needs to be correct according to Vietnamese standards. The broth was not made with long-simmered bones. Store-bought broth was used, at least to a greater degree. Fried onions should not be added to the broth. The basil should not be added ahead of serving, but at the table by the customer. All-in-all a disappointing stop, one that we had looked forward to on our trip from Texas.
