This review is for KOREAN CORNDOGS! They're in the same place and there doesn't seem to be a separate listing for the K88 corndogs. This place is amazing! They don't have as many options as 2hands or other places but they still have an amazing product on their hands. The people here are hard workers and dedicated to their craft. The place sits in a college area so sometimes they're very busy but otherwise it's a chill local spot to eat at with great service and ambiance. My kids love it here and so do I.

Unfriendly staff, portions are extremely small. If u order the salad base, you barely get any salad in your bowl.

Witnessed the owner of this poke spot yell at his employee in front of customers. Multiple customers felt uncomfortable with this and asked him not to raise his voice at his employee. He then began to raise his voice at his own customers stating "she is my employee, I can tell her what to do!" . It was an awkward situation. There is a right place and time to speak to your employee about certain expectations but never okay to yell and humiliate them in front of customers. It was awful to watch and pretty much left everyone in the restaurant with a bad taste in their mouth. Definitely won't go back. Overall, the food wasn't anything special.

Food was good but restaurant decor is poor. Feels like fast food.

Great service, it is a bit of a wait but they are obviously cooked fresh. They are understaffed, so come with patience lol

This place was my first introduction into Korean corn dogs. I had been fiending to try one for so long and found this little place near University Village by University of California Riverside. I was so excited to see that had a place like this that was so affordable compared to so many other places I had viewed online. Another side note is that this restaurant is in a shares building with a Poke Bar which was next door to the 7/11.I have came here on a few separate occasions and tried a full mozzarella corn dog, a normal corn dog, a corn dog wrapped in cheese, and even one with the potatoes layered outside. Everyone was fantastic, outside of the mozzarella dog. By far my favorite was the corn dog with American cheese and potatoes.They have a nice selection of various condiments that you can add at your own digressions. Two me the best two where the cheese sauce and the sweet chili sauce. They where the perfect accent to the already amazing corn dogs.Each time I went it was very quiet and mainly empty. I chose to eat outside and enjoy the sun. Service was also polite and corn dogs came out relatively quickly.I recommend coming by if you have a chance.

I wish I could give it 0 stars, because I basically got 0 service there. They're always finding an excuse to close earlier than 7:30 (not to sound like a Karen, but 7:30 is already a ridiculously early time to close). I walked in at 6:30 PM, thinking, "Oh, great, we made it in time before closing!" before being told that they were closing because they supposedly "ran out of rice". It's a shame that this is the only poke place a walkable distance from UCR.
Great place to get a bite. I personally love number 3 from the Korean dogs menu, coveted with hot Cheeto. That's the half cheese/half dog. Love the cheese dip side, i drench it. Probably not the most healthy but very delightful.

After watching Mukbangs for the third night in a row, my friend and I decided it was finally time to give in and get some Korean corn dogs. After class was over, we made our way to University Village and right into Poke Bar. I opted for the Mozzarella corn dog while my friend got the sausage, and we both paid extra to get potatoes and spicy mayo. This was my first time trying a Korean corn dog so I can't really speak on how it compares to other places out there. However, as a standalone experience, I thought it was really good. The potatoes and spicy mayo really helped to compliment the melted cheese and rice batter. The sausage corn dog was equally good in my eyes, as the potatoes and spicy mayo once again paired exceptionally well with the other ingredients. In terms of the restaurant itself, the overall atmosphere was relatively clean and well-kept. Even though we were the only customers in the store, we still had to wait a good amount of time for our corn dogs, which I assume is only because it takes a while to make them. Overall, I would definitely give the corn dogs here a strong recommendation. If you find yourself ordering one, make sure you get potatoes and spicy mayo too. It costs a little extra, but its definitely worth it!

Food: 3 out of 5I ordered food totaling over $70.Compared to other hotdogs and cheese sticks--the taste was okay. It was much more oily than other cheese sticks I've tried and there was a distasteful after taste and smell. Unsure if it was from the batter, but something didn't taste right with several of the sticks.I also ordered 4 sides of rice only--and it was dry and some pieces crunchy.Service: 3 out of 5I called in my order and upon arrival, only the hotdogs were ready. I called in over 30 mins from my arrival time. Unfortunately, I had to ask for and then wait another 7-10 mins for them to make four bowls of rice. It may have seemed like an off request, but one of the bowls of rice cost as much as the regular hotdog w/no cheese (approx.$3.50 plus tax)Ambiance: 3 of 5There were a lot of folks sitting inside, I assume waiting for their order. This place is inside of and part of a Poke (pronounced pōle (silent "l") kay (say it like "oKAY)) place. Counters were decent but not too much space for comfortable seating.

3 Proteins for a large bowl that after tax cost $20 with no tip added. Not impressed. The bowl was tasty but Extremely Overpriced!! I got a large Poke Bowl who's equal price but 5 proteins with twice the food and twice the size at "Low Key Poke Joint." It was very very good and very much the drive of 15 minutes from the "poke bar on University.
