Gosh, the women running this truck were so industrious that I was rooting for their food to be great. On our way to Berkeley Aquatic Park, Jamie W. and I were strolling on Fourth Street and couldn't help but notice the bright blue food truck between Lululemon and the long-shuttered Spenger's. Now the concept of Asian-influenced hot dogs was not new to us.We had tried Japadog up in Vancouver a while ago, and there's the odd Seoul Hotdog coincidentally in Berkeley. Dojo Dog apparently changes their menu daily and have included non-dog options like fish n' chips, judo ramen, and hot wasabi pastrami. However, we were focused on the expansive hot dog selection and settled on the kinda pricey $9 Sumo Dog (photo: bit.ly/3zQ0hgu).It was what looked to be a foot-long frankfurter ladled with their special Japanese curry beef chili and grilled cabbage and topped with chopped scallions. It was quite a mouthful and a bit of a mess dealing with the spillage but not quite the culinary sensation we were hoping it would be. Oh well, the hot wasabi pastrami sounded like a tasty reason to look for their truck.FOOD - 4 stars...a chili dog with a Tokyo twistAMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...it's a truck in front of a few outdoor benches and open tablesSERVICE - 4 stars...hard-working in that tiny truckTOTAL - 4 stars...sometimes you just need a weenieRELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

The ingredients are careful and and excellent, the people are charming, and the whole situation is fun. I wear their t-shirt, I wax delightedly about them to pals; Literally the only thing I don't love is that I can't go there every day.

Picked up Fish n chips with green tea/juice. Great customer service and food was delicious! My daughter and I enjoyed it. Price is average to what you would pay in the area. There are 2 people working the truck so be patient. They do a good job trying to be as fast as possible. I can't wait to return and try the hot dogs! You can usually find them on Saturdays at 4th street parked doorsteps to Lululemon store.

Was she trying to give me high blood pressure?! I come here a few times basic frozen fries nothing to do cartwheels for. Good enough once in a while. But today!!! I was told ten minutes that turned into almost 25. I questioned it because my time was limited. So I got the world saltiest fries with one napkin. Anyone could see this was way too much salt. Instead of being honest and making me a new batch or giving my money back she just wraps it up and give it to me. Nope. No more for me.
