It was my first time visiting this location, and I tried the Cheddar Cheese Dog and the Chun Chun Dog; both were super tasty and really filling. My sister and I ended up getting two each, and the wait time was only about 7 minutes, which felt pretty quick. The rice coating had a nice crispy crunch. I wouldn't have these all the time, but it's definitely a fun treat for when you're in the mood for something different!

Really delicious. There's a $25 sampler of their 4 most popular selections. Really tasty batter. They were ready in just a few minutes. Lots of sauces and various toppings to choose from. There are a few displays with recommended combinations for each of the menu items. It was a delicious lunch and worth the price/good value.

I and my mom actually came across this place randomly as we went to get boba next door. One of the best on-the-spot decisions in a while!!

So, it was around afternoon, nice day out and all. Ordered our drinks while in the car. We had a bit of time left and noticed Chungchun beside where we were going to pick up. I had seen korean hot dogs before, and had tried frozen ones, but always wanted to try the fresh ones, so we went in to take a look. There was only two other people in the store who had already gotten their food.

There were so many different options and DIY combos you could try - the menus were on about every wall the store had. The staff recommendations are what really got me interested in trying! Once we decided to try out the place, we awkwardly shuffled in the quiet shop (the other two had left at this point) and looked at the menu by the cashier while deciding what we wanted. The lone employee was very patient and kind when taking our orders! We both got half cheese half beef hot dog, plain (no batter topping).

It only took a few minutes to make as I went next door to pick up our drinks. Once the hot dogs were ready, we had some fun choosing what kind of powders and sauces to put on the hot dogs. There was about a dozen sauces (I think like 4 of them were variations of mayo lol) and like 5 powder toppings? We had some trouble choosing which sauces we should try, but we ended up with sugar + cinammon sugar, then putting spicy mayo, sweet mayo, and ketchup in the container as dipping sauce instead.

(PS. Theres only about 2 seats, and the condiments station table, so I would recommend eating in your car for comfort ?)

Tldr; the hot dogs were hella good, and so were the cheese pulls. Paired with our drinks, it was a meal for kings. ☺️ 10/10 would try again. My only regret is not taking any pics, everything was that good.

Interior was small and clean; clearly meant to be a takeout service with only a couple seats for waiting and no tables. Had the half mozzarella dog with potato topping. Very tasty if a bit greasy, which you have to expect with a corn dog. It was much bigger than expected, but not big enough to justify the price. Love the ability to add any sauce and powdered topping you want to customize your experience.
Overall, you’ve gotta try these once for the novelty. If you love them, maybe the price will make sense but not for me.

Small location with no seating. The service was fast and friendly. The rice dogs are bigger than your average hot dog. The Volcano was very tasty. I would definitely get it again.

The food here is absolutely amazing. Our favourite is the whole mozzarella with the sweet potatoe topping and the chocolate one topped with the flakes. The employees are so cheerful and helpful. I will also mention they are so honest as I left my wallet there by a mistake. They kept it safe for me until I could make arrangements to get it picked up as I don’t live in Winnipeg. I highly recommend. 10 ⭐️ ‘s.
