Team Sumo Dog! Love their veggie options. Get any dog with beyond meat to make it vegetarian or vegan friendly (mind the sauces and toppings - most are okay). Sumo Dog serves the OC/Orange County in Anaheim. Napa/Napa Valley, Indian Wells at the Tennis Garden, one in Seattle, Snowmass Village (Colorado) and more to come! This one in Indio aka the Coachella Valley (part of the Greater I.E./Inland Empire) is pretty iconic. You can find this one at The Canopy at Citrus Plaza. My first encounter with Sumo was their L.A. locations in Koreatown and then Santa Monica before branching out to these spots. Would love to see them back here, but I'm in the CV often so worth the trip #StayCation for a great hot dog. It's a cool take on traditional sports watching eats with Japanese flavors. An awesome fusion I recommend. Not a fan of the up charge for beyond meat or the fact that they don't offer a beyond meat burger sub... Obsessed with the Sumo Sushi tots! This is not the North Indio location with a drive thru off Ave 42, which I think is still confusing.... You can enjoy some great beverages, sides and perfect AC here, plus decor and sensational service. Open 7 days a week as early as 11 AM each day, until 8 PM Sunday through Thursday. As well as until 9pm Fridays and Saturdays off Jefferson Street. Sumo Dog - Indio (non drive thru) is ready to serve you.

This place is soo good! I wish we had one locally I would go all the time!! Really great service and prices! Hopefully we can come back soon!

This is a cool spot with some great gluten free options! Which was exciting for my child who has an allergy and feels like they miss out on the "cool" places often. Staff is always incredibly helpful, patient and kind! I'm not huge on hotdogs, personally but there's are pretty good. I've also tried their burger which is a nice Japanese spin on a smash burger. Tater tots are bomb! Ive also tried the rice nuggets and they're great! Different but next time might go back jist for those. Grateful to have fun and yummy, quick options that sre great for kids out here in CV.

Went back for the dogs and they were really good. The daily menu is a fantastic deal. Just a nice clean place for lunch.

YELP SHORT ANSWER: yes... fun. LOCATION: Jammed in Citrus Center - Canopy, which is full of food options. Lots of parking most all times. A good place to visit with covered outdoor space. FACILITY: a bit small inside and ordering can become cramped in hot days but you'll be able to deal with it. MENU: maybe a bit complicated for me but I have figured out what I like, like the frozen beer. FOOD PREP: for what it is, all is fine here. FOOD QUALITY: very good. LIBATIONS: okay if I did not mention, the FROZEN BEER is amazing on a hota$$ day. WAITSTAFF: always doing their best, well above the average FF location. OVERALL VALUE: pretty ok, compared to the outrageously expensive options of neighboring establishments it is a bargain but more expensive than In-N-Out but it has its own vibe. TIP: Try and get there off peak time as when they get busy it can be a long wait.

I'm giving it four stars but I really think a 3.7 is a more accurate evaluation. The quality of the hotdog and taste of the hotdog is really good however I'm not a fan of sweet food as a general rule. I like it more savory Mom and I split the sumo Dog And the chili cheese, dog beef on both. On the sumo Dog I told them to omit the teriyaki sauce, but the relish was way too sweet so it's sort of ruined it for me. And the chili cheese dog was OK but I'm so used to the old-fashioned one that I always get over the years and it takes a while to get used to something new. Overall, it was clean and nice and the lady at the register was helpful. I think it's worth going there and trying it to see if it's for you. I like the concept but I think they need to work on the flavor of the combinations a little more.

Chili Tater Tots, Miso Katsu Dog

I ordered the Katsu dog and also the chili tater tots to share. The Katsu dog is really good has a sweet marinated sauce and the lettuce adds a nice freshness and crunch to it. I would personally pass on the chili cheese tater tots, they taste like they will give you acid reflux, and the taste was not worth the potential acid reflux for me lol.

This place is creative with their food. I would give them another shot. I think their service is a good and the aesthetics remind me of a sushi spot with flare. I would eat here again. I think 1 or 2 dogs max. I think it's filling forsure.

What a great meal. Sumo dog (on the left), New York dog (on the right) and a Kirin Beer.

I wasn't to sure about the concept of this place but decided to be adventurous and give it a try. MAN, am I glad I did. This place was really tasty. Quality ingredients with a fresh taste. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other items. I'd say you need run on down and try one... or two :)

Godzilla & chili dog

Came to the La Quinta location and a employee named Daniel greeted us upon entry and had great customer service . He came and made sure we were good the food was great 10/10 recommended .if the boss reads this give the young gentleman a raise

Miso dog with tots
Milena H.

The menu is a cool fusion of American with hints of CaliMex and Japanese influence. I got the vegan Miso Dog and side of plain sushi tots. Delicious and filling! The fried part was light and perfect for me. I asked for a little drizzle of sauce and it was great. This is the perfect to go joint that's filling and clean - highly recommend!

Bacon Banh Mi Burger
Robin W.

This place is an absolute MUST anytime i'm in the desert! Although it's a hot dog place, I come for the burgers especially. My favorite is the bacon banh mi burger. The bun is so soft and the smash patty is cooked to absolute perfection. The toppings pair so well together and create such a delicious texture for the burger. The cashiers are always friendly and the food comes out quick (depending on how busy it is). The decor of the place is nothing fancy but it's perfect for the sumo aesthetic. If you're just passing through or you're there for the music festivals, you gotta try it!

Yummy teas. For the milk teas, they don't have any non-dairy options... I asked and they said they…read moreonly have milk. Sad face. I like their refreshing jasmine green tea 75% sweet. I tried 50% sweet, but this is a full undiluted Jasmine so I need a little extra sweetness to take the bitterness away. Great news that it's not watered down. Hubby and I like the original mochi dog crunchy and chewy with a nice yummy hotdog & half hotdog/half mozzarella inside. Not excited that it's $.75 for a sweet chili sauce... I might bring my own next time...LOL I do like that they now have the instant Ramen option... Haven't used it yet because I can make that at home but it's nice to know I can make it out if needed... When you have a yummy chewy crispy mochinut hotdog, what else do you need?!? They have a great product, but my issues that make it a four star versus a five star are that they are not open on Monday and Tuesday and that's usually when I want to go...boohoo :-( Also, They charge I think $.60 if you use your credit card but they do have options like Cash, Zelle and Venmo that don't charge for paying those ways. All the various little upcharges are slightly bothersome... But the positive side to that is I can choose to not add those things and save some money while still enjoying the basic Mochinut experience... as long as it's not Monday or Tuesday.... I'm assuming that Monday and Tuesday were not busy enough for them and they had to do their best to utilize their staff on the other days and it seems that they chose to be open on the weekends over Monday and Tuesday, which is probably a good business decision... So I'd rather them stick around because they make good decisions for their business, even though they're kinda not available when I want. It's better to have them survive in this hard California business climate. There is nothing like Mochinut, so we can all compromise a bit. So there you go if I didn't have any issues with open days & upcharges, they'd have a five star based on product & service.

Big SHOUT OUT to Manager Carol!! She has the best attitude and so warm and welcoming! I had the two…read morehot dogs combo and it was delicious and value priced. I look forward to returning and trying one of their chili dogs and chili burgers too. Fantastic food and great service lead by Carol-- who reflects greatly on the DW brand. Highly recommend when you are " jonesing" for a frankfurter !!

I spent $35 on hotdogs!!!!! I asked for fries…read more "but only if you guys have time to make them fresh otherwise just leave them off." I'm sick and tired of getting old cold food. They definitely gave me fresh french fries but they are completely salt less and tasteless. I felt like It was a stab at me for asking for fresh, was to give them to me without salt. Next time we're going to Costco for our hotdogs- we will save at least $28 I know Costco doesn't have fries, but apparently neither does Wienerschnitzel as far as I'm concerned because I didn't eat these. All I did was throw my money away. Dear minimum wage cook at weinerschhitzel- you win. I'm out. Having been in the restaurant, business myself, my family owns several restaurants here in the valley, And then reading the other reviews, it seems as if this place is really trying to cut corners and save money. My guess would be lack of customers due to a shitty cook. The girl at the window was great. Get yourself a new cook or just close your doors and go home and forget about it.
