Admittedly I'm not the biggest fan of Korean hotdogs- yeah, they're fun flavor combinations but they're too doughy- I want more hotdog!
I've had Two hands exactly one time because the line is ALWAYS out of the door, no matter the hour and it's too hot to stand outside! When I finally craved a fun Korean hotdog, I decided to try Myungrang.
Myungrang is located less than half a mile away from TH, in the AZ Interantional Supermarket plaza, in the corner by Korea Town. There was NO line Saturday afternoon.
They have all the flavors TH has except for the signature (ranch) and spicy dog. The flavor combinations are endless and truly customizable; there is ketchup, cheddar cheese, cheese mustard, sweet chili sauce, and parmesan or sugar to coat your dog in!
I went classic; I ordered a cheddar cheese 1/2 & 1/2 hot dog and potato hot dog for $5.49 each. The hotdogs were ready within ~5 minutes! I asked for cheddar cheese and cheese mustard to dip my dogs in!
Of the two, the cheddar cheese 1/2 & 1/2 hot dog was my favorite! The cheese was truly cheesy and gooey, and the hot dog was fun when I got to it. If you want cheese and hot dog in every bite, order the cheddar cheese hot dog ($4.99) instead!
Similar to TH, and to no offense of their own, I found the potato dog too doughy. Maybe I'm basic but I might just get the jumbo hot dog ($4.49) next time!
The cheddar cheese sauce didn't particularly taste cheesy to me; it was rather mild. The cheese mustard also wasn't particularly strong; guess I am basic!
Myungrang is a worthy competitor of TH, and my preference between the two! Fast, convenient, indoors, and just as tasty- if not better!
