Really good Korean kdogs I got the full cheese/potato kdog with hot Cheetos (it is extra). I wish they had more sauces but they have honey mustard, ketchup and sweet chili. Oh and spicy mayo included on your kdog too. We found paid street parking on a Sunday but it said free parking so yay we got lucky. The small parking lot they have in that lil strip mall seemed full and I think you pay to park in there. But definitely a must try for the Korean corn dogs 11/10!

Never disappoints. Best k-dog I've ever had (yes, even in Korea) and the so-tteok so-tteok is exactly the right addition to round it out. Friendship hot dogs forever!

My visit to 88 Hotdog was an unexpectedly delightful culinary adventure, especially for someone with a penchant for creatively crafted fast food. Nestled in a bustling, crowded area where parking can be a bit of a treasure hunt, this gem stands out for its unique offerings and commendable service. Starting with the mozzarella corn dog, it was a standout in both size and flavor, offering great value for its price. The corn dog was perfectly crispy on the outside, with a gooey, stretchy mozzarella center that was both satisfying and indulgent. It’s the kind of treat that brings a smile to your face with each bite, blending the nostalgic essence of a classic corn dog with a cheesy twist that elevates it to a whole new level. The adventure didn't stop there; the yogurt drinks were a revelation in their own right. I indulged in a variety of flavors - peach, mango, blueberry, and pineapple - each one more refreshing and flavorful than the last. These drinks had a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, with the fruit flavors shining through beautifully. They were not just good; they were exceptional, adding a refreshing contrast to the savory richness of the corn dog. The service at 88 Hotdog deserves a special mention. Despite the crowded location, the employee was friendly, efficient, and quick to serve, making the overall experience even more pleasant. It's always a breath of fresh air to encounter service that is both warm and competent, especially in fast-paced environments. While the parking situation and crowded surroundings might deter some, the culinary delights and the cheerful service at 88 Hotdog make it well worth the effort. It's a small price to pay for the joy of biting into a delicious mozzarella corn dog and sipping on exquisitely flavored yogurt drinks. For anyone in the area or those willing to brave the parking challenge, 88 Hotdog is a must-visit spot that promises a satisfying and tasty experience.

The food here is really good. I had never tried Korean hotdogs before and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I ordered a couple different options and the potato half and half was probably my favorite. I also really like the cheese with sugar crust combo. Don’t knock it until you try it!

I found this spot via Google search. The parking is limited. Thank goodness I found a spot. The food plac itself is extremely small. The music was blasting. It was so loud I could barely here the man behind the counter. I had the number 3. It was a cheddar dog. The cheddar cheese sat at the bottom of thr corn dog. When I finally got to the cheese it tasted like kraft singles sandwich cheese. For the drink, I had the orange pineapple juice. That was amazing.

After a small snack at Kyochon just a few yards away came in to check out their Korean style corn dogs. Pleasantly surprised how good they were. The wifey had seen a Mark Weins video eating some of these type of corn dogs and knew of this spot. So we gave it a try. At first the staff asked me if I wanted sugar on it. I was in total disbelief and said "Sugar on the corndog?" Servee replied with have you ever eaten funnel cakes? I said "Yes, but no sugar on my corn dog" Server said "Ok I'll put just a little on the top and you try it and if you want more just let me know" Oh yeah, I asked for a side of sugar and added it to my corndog. They also asked what kind of sauce, ketchup, or mustard, I wanted. I chose the sweet chili, which I won't get next time. It truly does wonders if you just top it with sugar. I love mustard on my corn dogs usually, however wanted to try something different. Sugar it is! My wife got the cheese filled and daughter got the regular with sugar. We loved it and want to come back and try their other corn dogs and then some of their ice creams and or fruit juices/smoothies. Thier service was friendly and extremely helpful with all their suggestions. They get ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for their outstanding service.

So tasty! I'd been wanting to try this place for ages (I often come to this shopping center for other meals). We FINALLY tried it today and we will be back to try various other treats. I had the cheddar cheese hot dog (with some sugar) and my guest had the regular hot dog/corn dog. We split the sausage and rice cake and I enjoyed a Dole Whip Float (just as tasty as Disney's without the line and expenses!) - $20ish total, so not bad. Their menu has a lot of fun drinks and snacks, so we'll return for more soon. We are super full and satisfied! And the staff member who helped us was helpful. Just be warned that the parking lot is usually in valet only mode (but this shop's sign says it offers free parking for take out, so I'll try that next time - today I parked a block away to avoid the parking fee, also to walk off the snack calories lol). ADDED BONUS!: They had a fun k-pop playlist on during our visit.

Very tasty. Nice lil spot. Very lively area for Saturday evening. Paid $4 for valet in the parking lot. The Korean hot dogs are really good. My daughter and I had the beef potato dog and she had a mozzarella dog. She added a sprinkle of sugar on hers. None for me. I liked the potato dog, it was just super crispy for me. Next time I go, I just want it without the potatos. I don't normally add ketchup. I won't next time. I just Iike mustard on mine, the regular mustard. Their mustang is ok. Organic or vegan...overall...pretty tasty and fun being with my daughter..we've been wanting to try these Korean hot dogs forever. I'd say it was worth it.

Cotton candy for desert. I haven't had cotton candy since childhood. This place serves cotton candy of all flavors. However, it is not freshly made, nor is it fluffy like the real cotton candy. It tastes good, like its flavor indicated, but pre-made cotton candy is stuffed in a cup, with some toppings sprinkled with lid. They also have beverages with cotton candy topping, but also, pre-made cotton candy wrapped around the cup. It's good, but I prefer the fluffy cotton candy on a stick.

One of my favorites during my visit to LA! If you like mango, try their mango yogurt drink! It was phenomenal! Not to mention, their cheese hot dogs were so good and made fresh!
