Jongro Rice Hotdog

So delicious! You must order at the kiosks outside, and then walk in the back to pick up your order. Service was fast and you can tell they take care to make sure quality is satisfactory. The space was clean, although there’s no where to sit or stand and eat. So you have to take your food outside and find a spot, which is not always pleasant because 32nd street is very busy. Regardless, the hot dog was so tasty and the portion size was large. I would come back here!

great grab and go type of place. the kiosks to order are outside of the building. they give you the corndog pretty quickly after ordering and you’re free to put on whatever sauces you want. if i remember correctly theres ketchup, honey mustard, cheese sauce, and a “boom boom” spicy sauce. lots of corn dog options too, at a fair price (full menu as of oct 2025 in images). the one i got (basic volcano hotdog) was perfectly crunchy, juicy, and delicious!! keep in mind theres no seating or anything inside. def recommend this place :)

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always great for a quick bite. I also love that you can grab boba or mochi donuts from the vendors right next to them, which makes the stop even better. Just be prepared, it’s usually very crowded and there’s no seating, so it’s more of an in-and-out spot.

Absolutely loved them from the very first bite! It was my first time trying corn hotdogs, and I’ll definitely have them again when I’m in NYC. Honestly, I hadn’t planned on trying them, but the presentation looked so tempting that I couldn’t resist. They turned out to be even more delicious than they looked, exceeding my expectations. A must-try if you’re looking for a unique and flavorful twist on traditional hotdogs!

I was really looking forward to trying these but felt like the flavor fell flat. I would NOT recommend trying these with sugar if you have an American palate and are use to state fair type corn dogs. It threw off the taste too much for us. There is no seating here, so take a right out of the store and at the end of the block there is a park with tables and chairs.

Full street food vibes. The Korean hot dogs were amazing: crispy, cheesy, and totally worth the wait. The setup is simple (order at the kiosk, one person running the show), so expect about 10–15 minutes, but it fits the street vendor feel. No seating inside, and it gets a little hot without AC, but you can grab your food and enjoy it at a nearby park. Authentic, tasty, and a must-try.

You have to order on the kiosk outside and pay by credit card. The space is small and gets crowded inside. The servers work fast but there is only a small counter where you can stand inside to eat, so most people take their food outside. The corn dogs are good and you have a variety of sauces you can put on them. They also have a nice variety of corn dogs to choose from. They taste good and are cooked fresh as you order. The ones with cheese are half cheese in length and the other half is a hotdog. They taste good but if you want more hotdog, order the ones without cheese. Our favorites are the ramen one and my little one likes the flaming hot Cheeto one.

Total perfection! Came out quick, hot, and delicious! I recommend adding some boom boom sauce and honey mustard. Amazing! I got the potato cheese dog and my spouse got the ramen cheese dog. Both were 10/10 and super juicy & cheesy :)

Located in the heart of Korea town and it was a treasure. They have many options of hot dogs and I decided to go for the potato hotdog because of the pieces of potato attach to the hot dog that looked so good! Once I got it, I made sure to put the sauces that Jongro had. They had sriracha mayo, cheddar cheese, honey mustard, and ketchup. The sriracha mayo and cheddar cheese were my favorite and made the dog really delicious! The potato pieces were very crispy and hot! I had to wait a while for the potato pieces to cool down because it burned my tongue! The wait for pickup was kind of long because of the amount of orders that come through. They are very busy! You can order through the kiosk or in person. Sure going to pop in Jongro to try more of their varieties and flavors!

You can't go wrong with the crispy Korean Hot Dog! This place does a great job and I always stop by whenever I am up in NYC. Service is fast and good. The line gets busy at night so try to get it during the day. Make sure to add sugar and ketchup. That's how you eat our hot dog! It's conveniently located in the heart of Korean town on 32nd street.

Their classic hot dog is always super delicious. Even with no added sugar. Service is non existent. Ambiance is crowded. 3 businesses in 1 space. You can imagine how unorganized and crowded this could get. Super pricy but whatever. Just on pure flavor, it's 5 stars. But based on pricing, service, messiness, and wait I can't justify more than 3.

Bummed! It took 25 min even though there was only one small order ahead of us. Ordered a cheese dog and potato tornado. The potato was done in 5 min but we weren't given it until the cheese dog was done which was 20 min later, so it was ice cold. Workers moved like slow motion. I'd say pick another place in Koreatown.

It was alright. It was my first time trying these and got the cheese one and the meat one. Did not particularly enjoy either. My partner had the sweet ones. Nothing there either. Not sure if it's the establishment, but food was not worth 2 for $17-$20. Service was using the machine, and the ambiance is chill, but outdoors seating with only 3 seats inside.

Food (4/5): Got the volcano dog with cheddar for $7.49. Overall decent and a unique corn dog. The flavors and crispiness were good. My main issue is that the corn dog was falling apart because the meat was too small relative to the breading Service (4/5): Mostly automated where you order from a tablet. The food took a bit long to come out. There is some outdoor area to eat. Ambiance (4/5): A long hallway with a variety of food stalls including this place. Other nearby places include a mochi and boba spot.

My friend wanted to try a Korean corn dog and we saw this shop and stopped in! We've had them before where it was hot dog, cheese, hot dog, and cheese (in quarters) but this one was the first half cheese and second half hot dog. It was delicious !

This place is a booth in the back of a shop. There's other food places and a boba place inside there too No seating inside and you can't even eat at the counter against the wall. But there is an area to wat outside like a tent area Easy to order and the food comes out fairly quick. Out of the 2 places to get cheese dogs in Korea town, I like this place better. It's not bad, kinda avg and more like bready and sweeter compared to other places For the hot dog which was good and a plain cheese which was good too. I def recommend getting a sauce on top

Order your Korean dog from the Kiosk outside, hopefully the line isn't down the block because this place is pretty popular. I got the Ramen Noodle Mozzarella Hotdog. It was crunchy and cheesy. I didn't know what to expect especially with the added sugar but to my surprise it exceed my expectations. There aren't much seats inside, this is more of a take your hotdog to-go type of place. No boxes, it's served in a hot dog tray. I would definitely revisit when I find myself in Koreatown.

Located in a booth next to mochi donut and bubble tea booths, Jongro Rice Hot Dog has a convenient kiosk ordering system near the entrance. The 3 booths are in a narrow hallway, and there are 3 seats belonging to the bubble tea shop at the entrance. There are around 10 options, and my friends got the Sweet Potato Corn Dog and Sweet Potato Mozzarella Corn Dogs. We came on a Sunday at noon, and it got busier around 1pm. The food was fried on the spot and ready in around 5-10 minutes. There are sauces you can add yourself after, such as Ketchup, Spicy Mayo, and Mustard. Positive: fast and casual for to-go or a quick bite Downside: no seating

First the food: I got a simple, half cheese/half sausage corn dog and enjoyed it. It's a simple meal, so don't expect anything outstanding. It was still genuinely good and satisfying. Second, the ordering process: there are three different stand within the store and they all have separate ordering kiosks (you cannot order with the staff). Just be aware and read the signs because it can be very unclear. With the corn dogs, the ordering kiosk was outside and then you have to go in the store to the respective counter. There is no inside seating, but there is some outside. There are also gloves available in case things get messy (they have a lot of sauce options which is nice). All in all. Food is good. Ordering process could be a little easier.

Wanted to try the Korean Korn dog and see if it was worth the hype I got the sweet potato corn dog with recommended sugar added on and my hubby got the regular corn dog with no sugar I also drizzled the boom boom sauce on both. The Korn dogs are good but I would not go out of my way just to get it. Location is odd since they're sharing the rent with 2 other shops which is understandable since the landlords are asking astronomical amounts for rent space.

A great stop for a Korean corndog! Also close to a mochi donut and bubble tea spot. The corndogs are made Fresh for you and wait time was not too long when we went (maybe 5-10 minutes overall). It was definitely worth it! I appreciated how it was the perfect amount of crunch and that you get to choose your toppings! I ordered the potato hotdog with sugar and ketchup and it was delicious! My friend likes with honey mustard but I heard their boom boom sauce is good too. The place is very small so you can't eat in there, but they do provide tents outside where you can stop and eat and that's what we did! The ordering kiosks are outside as well so I appreciated getting to see pictures of everything. Overall, definitely recommend and would come back!

The cheese dog is sooooo good! I ate half and then I realized should take a picture. That's how good it is. The cheese is super chewy. The bread dough is fried very well. Crispy, hot, chewy. Yummy! Add some dressing sauce is a must. I love ketch up and honey mustard. It's a great after meal snack spot. Worth to check it out if you haven't had it before.

Duuuuuuude. This place is always bumpin' for a reason! $6 Korean corn dog and $6 sugar coated fruit- comes out in like 10 minutes even when crazy busy. They have every kind of fun dog possible, and we came back the next day for the ramen coated one. They are all made to order and SO CRUNCHY AND DELICIOUS! ugh I wish I lived here so I could come every week. Truly nothin better when it's 30 degrees outside. And the hang tulu is SO crunchy and it's a great sweet treat follow up to the dog. 10/10 highly recommend. The staff is kind and works so hard. (They also have mochi donuts but I didn't really like them, so I recommend everything else!)

One of the few foods I crave and it has to be from Jongro. They are consistent. Dogs are made to order, crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. My favorite is the half cheese half dog. It's best to go at an off hour because otherwise you'll easily be waiting 15-20 minutes. It's with the wait though!

Korean style hot dog has been my favorite when I was growing up. I am so glad that I can find it in NY these days. I tried this hot dog in Queens and Manhattan midtown ( this particular location) but I find this location is the best. I just had one hotdog since I ate already but I used to order few and bring it home for later. This place has been very consistent with the quality and it has been my favorite Korean style hot dog spot. It does sound weird to cover it with sugar( one of the option on the kiosk) but try it at least once and you will know the difference. Korean Hotdog

Was my second time there, first time for my friend. She loves hot dogs but dislikes corn dogs...I told her this is nothing like a corn dog and should give it a try. She enjoyed it and admitted I was right LOL. The service is fine - they make them to order, they don't have it premade in advance - so do expect to wait a bit. They are nice and hot when you get them plus there are a bunch of sauces you can add to taste. You have to order on the e-board outside. They don't have inside seating but do have a covered area outside with bench seating.

Definitely one of the more interesting things I've tried recently haha. I got the ramen corn dog with hot dog and mozzarella cheese. And of course, I topped it off with any many toppings as I can. It was really yummy, albeit a bit hard to eat lol. There's no seating inside, but there's an outdoor area to sit and eat. You also have to order at a kiosk outside, which is convenient, and they got my order out fairly quick. All in all, good experience!

Tried the jumbo hot Cheeto dog and the potato cheese dog. These are not like your American corn dogs because there's no corn batter... The batter kind of reminds me of fried mochi instead. Skip the fancy combos and get the classic dog instead.

This place is really nice. It is a take out place as there are no seats inside. I ordered on the machines outside which was easy to do. After ordering i waited inside and waited. The employees worked fast and the food came out within10 minutes. The kdogs were delicious. I got a half and half potato kdog and a cheddar cheese kdog. Both of these were delicious and fresh. I have to come back here as i miss these types if corndogs.

NYC hot dog upgrade! Easy quick bite to grab in the heart of KTown! I came here with my boyfriend to grab a "Korean corn dog" as he'd never tried one before. As always, this place nails it with the textures and flavors. Although some complain that they're hard to eat, it never hurts to grab a fork and some napkins! The actual pick up location is inside the small food hall, however the ordering kiosks are outside on the street. We ordered two half cheese/half hot dogs - one with a ramen coating and the other with potato. Unfortunately, they do not offer vegan options, but they have both pork and non-pork options. Once you pick up your food, they have a few different sauces and seasonings for you to spice up your dog! You're not supposed to eat inside the food hall, but there's an outdoor tent right outside the entrance with some seating. The service isn't much to write home about since the ordering is done electronically, but they seem to have nailed the self-service style well. This place is a staple for a casual (heavier) snack or small dinner and I will be returning again (and again).

A little confusing because you order on a kiosk outside and can't ask the staff any questions. There is not any place to sit inside so we ended up walking in the very cold to eat our corn dogs. I got the half cheese/half hot dog corn dog dusted with sugar. The combination of salty and sweet was amazing! My friend got a spicy corn dog and LOVED it. We will definitely be back!

One of the best corn dogs I've ever had. I loved it so much I went back the next day. I highly recommend!

The line is always long so expect a wait here (largely due to the fact that the dogs are made to order). It's located within a "strip" of other good eats but you choose your dog at the kiosk upfront. Things have really started picking up for them, to a point that they now have a "security guard" letting people know when it's their turn to order since people were blocking the sidewalks waiting in line. I highly recommend trying the Mozzarella and Sausage Corndog since you get a taste of both. The cheese has a nice pull to it and the breading isn't too thick. It is on the pricier side as far as these dogs go but it's not something you get on the daily anyway.

Came here yesterday after work for a quick snack. There was a short line at the kiosk outside but a long wait inside the shop. I was waiting patiently even though I was hungry (secretly wishing it would be my turn soon). This is my second time here. All items are freshly made (deep fried) to order. Like they say, good food take time to cook. Even though it was freshly made to order (probably let cool for abit?) Because when I got my order and after drizzling 3 sauces (Boom boom, sriracha mayo and ketchup), I took a bite to realize it wasn't very hot. Tasted like it was there for a while. Not as crisp. The inside is still hot enough for that amazing long cheese pull. Ordered mozzarella potato hotdog. Picture on kiosk show meat inside so I was expecting the mozzarella to be wrap around the meat battered and deep fried. Instead, it is mozzarella, battered with potatoes and deep fried. Still tasted great. Suggestion: they should update the photos and descriptions on the kiosk.

Volcano hotdog is a must get! The self order machine was not that clear when it came to ordering the hotdog and clarifying whether there will be only cheese in the potato mozzarella hotdog or both cheese and the hotdog. I wished that one can customize. I would get everything on it and in it as long as it is savory. The added sugar, which was recommended, did make a nice complimentary effect to the batter on the outside, surprisingly. Potato mozzarella hotdog was underwhelming because it didn't have the hotdog in between. I do have to give credit to the stretchy mozzarella cheese though. Seating patio available outside. Condiments were available. Sriracha Mayo for the win.

No interaction needed to order! You use a machine to choose what you want and will get a text when your order is ready. I got the potato, mozzarella, and beef hot dog sprinkled with sugar on the outside. I added some of the self-serving sauces to really give the hot dog a kick of flavor. They had an assortment of sauces outside of the standard ketchup and mustard: siracha mayo, hot sauce, and bbq. 100% tastier than your average hot dog from the street cart. The only downside is that there aren't any seating indoors, and the outdoor seating (which is a spacious area with benches right outside of the store) is very dirty, like I've seen a rat roamed through on the floor and people laying on the benches as if it's their bed. NOTE: this is outdoors and no waiters to maintain that space, as this is mostly a self-serving type of food. The INTERIOR is clean and fine. Recommend this as a nice snack to eat!

Get the cheese dog with sugar... Trust me the potato is good but not as. And the potato with mozzarella is half a hotdog

I ordered the traditional Korean hot dog and thought it was ok. Overall, the corn dog was a bit too greasy for my liking. The breading flavor was a bit bland and was quite dense, which made me feel really bloated after. You can order on a kiosk outside then pick up in the store. There are a lot of sauces for you to add, such as ketchup, cheese, spicy mayo, boom boom, etc.

Not my favorite Korean hotdog. It was soooooo much breading. And was a little over done so hard to bite into.

First time having a Korean hot dog! Yes for Koreans making something unhealthy even unhealthier and delicious. I've had more Korean hot dogs since then but I still remember these as my favorite. They have good variety in breading options and it's also cooked well so that the breading isn't soggy against the hot dog like some others I've had. Takes awhile to come out and is kindof expensive for a hotdog, but it's good once in awhile.

I had to get a Korean corn dog before leaving NYC. They had kiosk ordering outside and inside the building that's connected to two other food stalls. I ordered the mozzarella and hotdog corn dog top with sugar. Item was made to order and had to wait a little bit for th dog to be made. Once you make your kiosk order you head in and wait for them to call your order number. Dog was made hot and fresh I added ketchup in mine. Great cheese pull on the first bite. Satisfied my Korean corn dog craving. There is no standing eating inside the store, but there are benches outside. It gets pretty pack to find seating so I suggest just squeeze into a spot. Peope will move over!

About a 10 min wait. Very good Hot dog, however the cheese part of the dog was actually better than the meat. So i'd recommend just getting the potato dog with cheese only. The sauce on top is like a spicy yum yum sauce- very tasty!

Right next to one of our many fav boba places so might as well try it. Got the half hotdog half mozzarella cheese dog. We ordered via the Chowbus app to get $7 off. Sprinkle some ketchup, honey mustard & sriracha on top & its good to go. It was piping hot & chewy on the outside, the inner mozzarella cheese was...cheesy, the hotdog inside was....a plain hotdog, twas somewhat of a letdown as I was expecting something more exotic.

Very fast, lots of sauce options. Various options of hot dogs, it's definitely a place to try, but not a place to revisit over and over again.

Crispy, fried to perfection, the cheese-pull of your dreams! These Korean hot dogs are drool-worthy! Don't miss out on the sauces, which can be mixed and matched to achieve limitless permutations. Ordering takes place at a kiosk outside before you pick up and accessorize your food at the inside counter. There are limited seating options but luckily, this is the perfect on-to-go meal!

The first time it was bangin but this time it didn't move me like how it tasted the first time!!!

Came to Jongro on a Friday afternoon around 5:00pm and was super excited to try my first Korean hot dog. If you don't know the process, you'll likely find a line outside that leads to 2 kiosks where you place your order. Make sure you don't block the sidewalk was you're waiting. There was an attendant there helping out when we were there. The menu is relatively simple so it doesn't take long to place your order and pay at the kiosk and then you head inside. The wait was pretty reasonable. Once your order is ready you can add additional sauces as you like. I had the mozzarella and sausage (hot dog) one. The outside was perfectly crisp. The melted cheese interior was gooey and the hot dog tasted great. I topped mine with honey mustard, boom boom sauce, and sriracha mayo. The sriracha mayo had a great kick to it. I love a sauce and all of them tasted really good. It felt like it was 60% cheese and 40% hot dog and I wish that ratio had been reversed. Nonetheless, I'd definitely go back for more!

Fun and quick way to get a Korean hot dog in Korea town. You order from the touch screens and your order number will be called when ready. Hot dogs and boba tea only. There is a covered area with benches to sit and eat your hot dog.

This stall is one of a couple of businesses inside. You order at a kiosk outside, which reduces the crowd of people inside. Then you wait in front of the counter for your order. There is no seating inside, but there are benches under a tent right outside to sit and eat. It took about 5-10 minutes for my order of 1 to come out, and you get to witness them deep fry it in front of you. You get to top hot dog with your choice of sauces. You can expect for there to be pretty impressive cheese pulls with this. The taste was as expected.

Jongro Rice Hot Dogs were delicious! They have a variety of different hot dogs to choose from and always a great quick snack to try. This place can be confusing to order from. The kiosks to order from are outside the bubble tea and mochi donut shop called Machi Machi. They have separate kiosks for the hot dogs on the outside of the store, while the inside has kiosks to order drinks/donuts. Then you get a receipt with your order number and have to wait about 10-15 mins for your hot dog order. It is always packed with people and can be hard to walk in and out depending on the time. I got the Potato Hot Dog where this was filled with half cheese and half hot dog. All deliciously coated with potatoes and deep fried. You have the choice of topping off your hot dog with ketchup and spicy mayo. This is presented to you in a mini box that holds the stick part of the hot dog and portable to walk the streets with. I personally wished my hotdog was just a little more crispy. It's supposed to be deep fried after all, so why not make it crispier. Overall, still yummy to eat and I would come back again for another one! There is no indoor seating. They have an outdoor bench that is mostly covered with tarp. It's usually packed with people sitting on the bench so it's your luck on finding a seat.

Order at the outside kiosk and wait for your # to be called inside. We ordered the Volcano and really liked the breading of the corn dog! It was a great snack for two of us to share. The outer breading is crispy. There were 4 sauces that you could drizzle on top. We chose the siracha mayo and house sauce. Would dine here again.

I wished I ordered more... it was soooo good! I ordered the sweet potato hot dog (deep fried) with sugar! Then I also added the cheese and ketchup sauce drizzle on top! It was delish and crispy! I would def come back again and get more next time!! Price: $7.50-$8? I don't remember but it was a bit pricy for what it is... a corn dog lol

Used the machine to look at the menu and order. It included tax and tip in the checkout. The hot dog was crunchy and tasty. The ones with cheese inside were the best. It was prepared fast. When our number is called, we can freely add sauces from the counter. Can eat on-the-go.

During our food crawl in Manhattan, we decided to drop by this place for a quick bite. I got the half hot dog, half mozzarella corn dog. I added ketchup and honey mustard on top of it. It was very crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. There was a lot of cheese which was good. Definitely recommend it! Tip: If you use the Chowbus app, you will get $7 off your first order!

I see what the hype is all about now. The Korean corn dogs here were so delicious; I'm craving another one as I write this. The kiosk/waiting situation was a little annoying, but was easy nonetheless. I got the potato, mozzarella, and sausage corndog with sugar, and I have to say, it was so damn good. Perfectly crunchy and flavorful. You get to put your own choice of sauce on top -- I put some ketchup and sriracha mayo which were great toppings. My one issue is that the security guard didn't let people eat or drink inside the store while waiting on line? I'm not sure why that is, but I think that's a little stupid. Anyways, food was delish so come here when you get the chance!

good corn dogs! definitely get them with sugar. I personally always get the corn dog with cheddar cheese inside. make sure you use the sauces too.

You can't go to Koreatown without getting a Korean corn dog! Even though my friends and I were full from eating prior, we forced our stomachs to make room for a delicious corn dog. We shared two corn dogs - one covered with ramen, the other covered with sweet potato pieces. I LOVED how the ramen and sweet potato provided the perfect crunch to the corn dog bite. They were generous with the toppings, as there wasn't a bare spot on the corndog. The hot dog inside was seasoned and cooked very well too! Price wise, they came out to be around $6 each, which is the average price I've seen at other places as well. Just note, because there were a lot of people in front of us, we had to wait 10-15 minutes for our food. Overall, a very solid Korean corn dog place, and I'd definitely recommend!
