My family cane to LA & my son has been dying to try a Taki Korean dog. We finally found them at this amazing spot! We got to watch them being made & our server was very friendly. We tried a variety of dogs & we loved them all! This spot is a must try!

My sister and I stopped by for a quick bite to eat so we decided to stop by Smile Hot Dog. And let me tell you, it was a good choice! The service was great! Pancho offers great customer service as well as being a chill guy to get along with. Our service was quick despite it being a bit busy after our order. My sister ordered the original smile dog (#1), myself ordering the Cheeto smile dog (#7) in addition to a Tteobokki for us to share. The tteobokki was nice and chewy which was really good. My hot dog wasn’t overly spicy but enough to enjoy the taste of the hotdog as well, and as for my sisters she enjoyed hers just as much as I did. Will be back soon! Thanks again Pancho for the amazing service! :)
Pancho Was an Amazing Host To this New Experience For me and My Family . 10/10 I highly

My friend and I walked in, and immediately we were greeted with a calming and tranquil environment. We weren’t too sure what to get, as it was our first time, but immediately we were greeted by one of the most engaging managers, Poncho, who recommended a corn dog that he had originally made, the Taki corn dog. I write this review as I’m eating the corn dog, and I can confidently say it is one of the best delicacies I’ve ever tried. I 100 percent recommend this spot to anyone who passes by, 10/10

Pancho was the best chef and employee in the building during my experience here In Little Tokyo, for my first time in California, he really made this trip so memorable and I wouldn’t have chose going anywhere else for a Korean corndog !!!! It was an honor to meet the friendly staff and THE BEST TAKI CHEESIEST CORN DOG EVERRRRR (invented by PANCHO HIMSELF) !!!!!

A must stop if you’re visiting LA! Very friendly and excellent food.
Found a hair in my "corndog". Service wasn't the best as well. The food place is called "Smile Hotdog", but do not sell actual hotdogs. Will not be coming back.

Has great Korean food. Absolutely was shocked by their “poutine” as it was sweet but still delicious. Their mozzarella dog is so jam packed with cheese!

Amazing food and fantastic service. Pancho, the manager was super friendly and helpful as soon as we stepped in the door. The restaurant was very clean and spacious. I ordered the SmileJumbo and the poutine and I have to agree with everyone else, this place beats Two Hands every day. The corn dog was juicy, crunchy and full of flavor. The poutine was a big portion with delicious sauce and seasoning. Next time I'm in this mall, I'll definitely be eating here.
