About Kong Dog

Kong Dog is a popular spot for Korean corn dogs, offering a variety of fillings like beef hot dog, chicken sausage, or mozzarella cheese. The menu features both traditional and unique options such as ramen or churro dogs. The dogs are made fresh to order, large, and filling. Customers can sit inside in a cozy space or relax on the front couch. The staff is friendly and sometimes offers complimentary beef dumplings and fries. The traditional beef hotdog is a favorite, with a smoky and salty flavor that pairs well with the sweet batter and sugar topping. The thick batter is tasty and not greasy, despite being deep-fried. Besides corn dogs, the restaurant has a good selection of lemonades, slushies, teas, and chicken wings. The place has a cute aesthetic with a lighted Kong Dog mascot. Many reviews mention the crispy Korean style corn dog and its great pairing with Korean ttokbboki, a chewy rice cake dish with a chill paste. Vegetarian options are available, such as replacing hot dogs with cheese, though the ramen contains meat pieces. The restaurant offers large portions, and parking is plentiful. It’s a kid-friendly environment with menus suitable for children. Overall, Kong Dog is a welcoming place to enjoy Korean corn dogs and tasty treats with friendly staff.
