I know that corn dogs are as American as apple pie. But I've never been that into them. Perhaps it's the heaviness of the corn bread, and partially because of the taste? Don't get me wrong though, I've had some tasty corn bread back in the day..RIP Farmerbrown. Flash forward the other year when Korean corn dogs became a thing. I saw the shops popping up in South Bay, but I'm never in the Cupertino or SJ area. When I came across Cherylynn's Stix review, I knew I had to check them out sometime.
I'm frequently in the Sunset area so Stix is somewhat convenient for us. Before the pandemic, they were taking orders by phone, so I placed my pick up order over the phone. I ordered two of their hot dog + cheese combo dog. He wanted his without sugar and I requested light sugar for me. These guys are big (TWSS)!! I loved the crunchy but light batter (well way lighter than American corn dogs), and the sweet, savory salty combo. The mozzarella cheese offers a great cheese pull too.
Post pandemic, they set up an easy online ordering system. My order has always been ready before the quoted time, and the staff is so friendly. To quench my thirst, I've had the mango lemonade which came with chewy boba and it was fantastic, just the right amount of tart. I'm pretty basic and just stick to the combo dog, but if you want more carbs you can try potato studded, or ramen coated dog. One day, when I feel like going meatless I may just try the mozzarella dog. I mean, fried cheese, how can you go wrong? They also have corn dog hour weekdays from 1:30-3:30 for 15% off corn dogs. I wish they were open a little later through like until 7 or 8.
It's the perfect lighter meal or heavier snack. You're the Asian version of Hot Dog On A Stick, and I love you.
