The hot dogs are fantastic and the tater tots with chili cheese were awesome. Great service and a nice atmosphere too.

Want to try them out since they're building a new one in North India I would rather eat 711 hotdog than this. It is overpriced for a hotdog that did not seem fresh. It seems like it was pre-cooked. The chili was disgusting and watching people leave that ate there never saw a smile on anybody's face. They will never get my service again. I will go to Wienerschnitzel before I go back there. They can improve by making a nice French roll with a thicker and better hotdog and better toppings overpriced not worth it. read more

I ordered the signature Sumo Dog. It had nori and other Japanese ingredients on it but none of those flavours came through. Just tasted like a hot dog loaded with random condiments. Try the hot dogs at am/pm they're much cheaper although obviously a lot of people like this place. read more

Sumo dog was excellent for what it is. It is hot dogs not prime rib. But great variety and taste was good

Frosty ice cold beer on tap and vegan options make this place a must!! Very nice pregame option before heading to the La Quinta movie theater. read more

Dog was good! I will say, for the price, I was hoping for a bit of a bigger dog and a better bun. If you're a hotdog place specifically, I would like to see more of a gourmet bun. Interested variety of hot dogs and clean. Love the logo. Would wear a hat if they sold them. read more

Love this place! We've been a bunch of times now and never been disappointed. Such a great menu, great decor, clean and friendly staff. I'm a firm fan of this place! Personal favorites include the Bacon Wrapped Bahn Mi, the Sumo Dog and the Godzilla...and the tots are cooked to perfection every time too. They have great deals on weekdays too! Go try it for yourself, you will not be disappointed! read more

Sumo Dog - Godzilla!!!! - Fast Food Near Me - Indio, California

okay, I don't think anyone can be fully prepared for what is inside the walls of SumoDog! I've seen the term "Flavor Fusion" used in other reviews but honestly, it wouldn't do it Justice! it's more like Flavor Heaven! First trip yesterday happened to be the anniversary so the dogs were BOGO $1. Perfect! Sumo Dog to start... delicious... those little pepper looking goodies were packed with a sweet taste, and the beef angus dog was juicy and flavorful! 8/10 While we waited for our order I overheard a gentleman describe an item very colorfully! I thought, if it's that good, I gotta try it! placed a second order for the Corn Dog Sumo Style and Miso Katsu Dog!! Miso Katsu dog was filleted and fried like Ka tsu bbq and has a cole slaw and teriyaki like topping that was unbelievable! 9/10 So here's where I had my taste buds questioning everything they've ever had! It starts by being dipped in Tempura batter, rolled in Panko & deep fried!! make it Sumo style like the first dog with those yummy peppers as well as Spicy Mayo and I think seaweed or green onions, idk... but let me say, there's a scene from ratatouille where Remy is teaching his brother how to taste food, and with each bite a different level of happiness and flavor as he sees stars and enters an almost euphoric state! YEAH..... IT WAS LIKE THAT!!!! I can never and I mean NEVER eat a regular corn dog again! I echo the words I heard to describe it.... UN~F'n~BELIEVABLE!! 15/10 A MUST TRY!!! read more

I paid $28 for 2 hotdogs, one mustard and one barely there chili, 2 tater tots and one can of Diet Coke. Wish I'd have take a picture but o won't go back. Food was okay read more

I had the over the top hot bacon wrapped dog and the iced beer. Seemed very over done. I wished that I had gotten the original dog instead.

Was in the mood for something other than burgers or burritos... I was glad that we decided to try the new "Sumo Dog. Service was great, and the food was excellent. I had the Godzilla, which was delicious, and my friend had the Sumo Chili and Cheese and expressed his satisfaction by inhaling it. Overall was a descent place for a quick lunch. It would be great if they offered other bread types? Maybe a "pretzel" style bun , a "jalapeño", or even a potato bread? Idk... just some thoughts.... Definitely will be back. read more

My husband and I plus a couple of friends came here last night to see what this place was all about. It was very hot today and when we entered the restaurant it seemed hot right away. Immediately upon entering you are in front of the menu boards and the registers to place an order. We ordered first and our friends were behind us plus others were arriving and there is very little space to stand. Nice decor and great photos of what the specialty dogs look like. Very few tables were inside - I could say about 6 maybe? Anyway, I ordered a chili dog, The Canopy Dog and a Sumo Chili cheese dog. For drinks I ordered a small can of white wine and a can of IPA beer. I was surprised when the total came up to $58.18 but with lots of people behind me I just let it go. Of course, they turn the screen around if you would like to tip them. Grrrr. I got my wine and beer and proceeded to sit down. When I looked at the receipt I was stunned that the can of wine was $18!! I went up to the counter and questioned why $18 for a small can of wine. She told me because it is 2 glasses of wine at $9.00 each. Holy crap! My friend had also ordered the same thing and we were not happy. They did not have the prices displayed for the wine so it didn't occur to me to ask. Oh well. As for the food, since it is a Fast Food establishment they call your name and you go get your order. The quality of the hot dogs themselves were very good and the toppings were tasty but I am not sure they warrant $10 for a hot dog. I had hoped the buns would have been kind of special but not really. Our friends ordered a New York dog which is their most popular one and I am told it was good. I had heard the tater tots were super great but the ones my friend had did not look or seem very crunchy and were just ok from what I was told. All in all I certainly would not go out of my way to come here but if I was close by I might grab one and a soda for the road. read more

The food quality is poor. Second visit. Not good. First experienced several years ago at Coachella Music Festival and very satisfying. Lately, the experience has been gooey, sweet, syrupy sauces resulting in poor texture and balance. The coleslaw included in the miso choice was ice cold; made no sense to add this to warm food. I'm finished.... read more

I went to Sumo Dog in Indio on October 23, 2023, and the Godzilla hot dog was truly amazing. The combination of the sauces, toppings, and the hotdog itself included with the Godzilla hot dog were all fantastic. There is definitely a chef behind their food offerings. The tater tots were also very good. The restaurant is right near the Empire Polo Grounds, so definitely hit up this place the next time you attend Coachella. read more

Great little place with a new spin on a hot dog and also delicious rice tots. To top it off the kirin beer has a frozen foam top which keeps the beer cold till the last drop. Service was nice too. Staff was respectful and quick with our meals. As for ambiance it was nice and quiet, I think they even have a room in the back for a larger party. read more

A buddy of mine found out about this place and said we needed to check it out. He. Was. Right. Let's start with their menu, which can be found on their website. Simple, clean, and option filled. The majority of the hot dogs are Asian inspired, and do they deliver! I ordered the Miso Katsu dog with the tater tots. The katsu fry on the dog was new and added an extra crunch that accented the snap of the sausage. The slaw was flavourful, and the little acid helped cut through the sweetness of the teriyaki. Delicious! The tots were a tad on the salty side but really crunchy. I couldn't stop eating them. Nicole, the waitress, was super kind, helpful, and absolutely hysterical. Thanks for the recommendation, and I will be trying that Bacon Bahn Mi next time! 5 stars, and I'm excited to see where you guys go from here! A small joint with loads of flavors! read more

Took over 40 minutes to get our food. Very under staffed. Food finally came and was just ok. Chili cheese dog was gross, regular hot dog ok flavor but was barely luke warm. First and last time going there. read more

Look it's just hotdogs with sushi on top of it however they do some really cool things there. I highly suggest you check it out next time I go I'll take some pics and add to this for a little hotdog restaurant with a twist. I was just checking it out me and my wife or foodies, and we found it. It was good. The food was great. read more

This Place Is Super Cool & Unique. The Food Was Great. The Service Was Awesome. The Atmosphere Was Chubi Dubi. Since It Was Our first Time, We Tried About 8 Different Things, Everything Was Amazing. The Only Problem Next Time Is Which Awesome Dog To Choose. Each Dog Has Its Own Personality & Amazing Flavor, As If Someone Carefully Chose Each Ingredient For Each. There Are A Few You Can Ask For "Mexican Style" & Have The Dog Wrapped In Bacon. This is on the secret menu though. I asked the staff, Jessica, and Tony, which ones were their favorite. They gave me great recommendations. And their service was awesome. The icing on the cake, almost literally, was the frozen slushy froth of Kirin Ichiban that goes on top of a glass of beer to keep it cold! read more

Really really a delicious different menu and bright, clean and fun. This is. New treasure at this wonderful new people friendly center.

Best dogs in town. Worth the 40 minute drive. You all need to try this specialty hot dog restaurant.

The hot dog was good, but did not look like the advertised photo where it looks piled high with stuff. The service was extremely fast but the gal at the front was looking down at her phone for awhile. The place is a little small but it's really clean. Overall, it was very overpriced for the hot dog. read more

Came into the quaint restaurant and was greeted by the friendly cashier. Ordered the Miso Katsu. Wow. What a difference take on a hot dog. Coming from having been born in LA I've had quite a few different styles of the Dog. This has to be in my top 3 right behind Carney's. Fantastic. And the beer, nice and cold! read more

FIVE FREAKING STARS!! I took my kids there for Father's Day (where dads ate free that day). 1. I ordered the Godzilla Dog, and it was a flavor explosion....best hot dog I've ever had. 2. Best coleslaw ever....I've had slaw at various diners and BBQ joints, and this is the best I have ever tasted. 3. My daughter ordered a plain dog with ketchup and she said it was the best plain dog she's ever had. 4. My son had a cheeseburger and said the beef had great flavor that went well with his fries. 5. The Kirin beer with frozen foam really hits the spot on a 100 degree day. 6. Some of the friendliest staff in the desert...the crew there was extremely nice and courteous. Definitely an amazing experience that made fans out of my kids and I. read more

This place rocks! Such a nice change from the usual fast food. You can taste the quality and freshness in the food. I had the Canopy dog with a side of crispy tots. Definitely satisfying. Can wait to back. I didn't try the frozen beer but had it before. So refreshing in a hot day. read more

This is a new spot in the La Quinta/Indio area. New shopping center being added in the Ralph's Parking lot. Right next to a new sushi restaurant so the Japanese theme seems to be strong right here. But this is more of a niche place than a sit down restaurant. Gourmet Hot Dogs, a different few beers and even a Kirin frozen beer as an option that looked like a slushy but apparently is just ice ice cold beer. Great dogs were great and overall atmosphere fit the place well. It's an off the cuff cool spot to go when you're tired of the same old same old. read more

Love this creative concept with Hot Dogs & Fries! I was craving In-N Out burger, but decided to treat myself to something different this 110* HOT afternoon...My 1st time popping my cherry 2 weeks ago, I tried their Signature Sumo Dog & plain Fries (Unique & Different! No Complaints) This was my 2nd Time stopping in, & I decided to try the "Canopy Dog" with Chili-Cheese Fries (Really?! just a $1.50 extra to add Chili-Cheese!) & of course the Kirin Beer with frozen Foam on-top that adds a refreshing kick AKA cherry on top to the meal! read more

We thought this would be fast food, but it took 30 min. My bahn mi dog was missing the bacon, probably 30% of the price. Fries were limp. The kids got a burger which was clearly an adult size burger cut into thirds with a hot dog bun smashed down on top. A kids burger was that 1/3 of burger. read more

I'm from the Midwest and have been craving a Chicago dog for...years! I tried a Chicago dog and tater tots to go for my lunch break and they were fantastic! The beef dog is extremely tasty and flavorful. The toppings were really fresh, which is a big plus because I looove juicy tomatoes. I would still prefer a hotdog from Chicago, BUT I am super pleased with how satisfying this one was. The tots were pretty basic but they were crispy on the outside and soft inside (even taking it to go) so that's all you can really hope for with tater tots! I will definitely be back to branch out and try their more creative dogs. The space is nice and clean and the counter service was very friendly! read more

Sumo Dog - Chicago hot dog and tater tots (total $13.05) - Fast Food Near Me - Indio, California

I tried them out for lunch one day and they were ok. I was tired today after work and decided to phone in an order to avoid cooking dinner for the family. I ordered three Godzilla dogs with NO nori. (No one here likes it and one person is allergic.) Picked up my order (had to juggle the order to the car because they dont have bags large enough for the footlongs) and made the 45 minute drive home only to find all three hot dogs had nori. $40 for 3 hot dogs that ended up in the trash...and I still had to cook dinner. read more

I wanted to like this place I was looking forward to it too. I'm afraid to leave anything negative, as I see the snarky retorts from the owners. It's better to be humble and try to change your negative reviews then to clap back at your customers that want to like you. I had a sumo dog and it was not good. As others mentioned, it was overcooked and really probably one of the lesser good hotdogs I've had in my life. The toppings just covered it up but it still wasn't a good hotdog. I'm not sure what the problem was if it was old but as others mentioned, it was leathery. The tater tots were good but the portion size was a little large and it would be nice if they had a smaller version of it, such as a half order. I ordered the iced tea and it would've been nice if they had sweetener, but when I asked if they had any sweetener they said no. The restaurant next-door was setting up their tables (a new restaurant just opening soon) and making a ton of noise so that made it hard to really relax and enjoy the view. The concept of this place seems really good, I just didn't feel like it fulfilled the expectation. Too bad. read more

Being from Texas and travelled around the world. I can say this place has the most delicious hotdogs , fantastic hamburgers and amazing beer. I can say the best we have had in years !
