"This is YoYo’s Hot Dogs fourth move (at least) to a brick-and-mortar location around town, and the second off Washington. Here's hoping the king of the griddled and sauced-up Korean dog stays put and doesn’t move again. This glizzy is worth the chase, we just want a reliable address to pull up to late at night." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

If you love hot dogs like I do, this is definitely a place to stop by if you are visiting Houston. Different style of your traditional American hot dog. With a tangy and bold flavors. Only one style to choose from with a large beef sausage. And they offer some French fries with delicious thin slices of Korean BBQ meat as a toppings. But make sure you're not expecting to sit down because it is a take out and go menu.

Wonderful employees, quick service, and amazing tasting food. There isn’t a sit down area but everyone was hanging around their cars enjoying the great food. Personally we sat in the trunk of my SUV enjoying the sunset and dogs. The dog quality is top notch, super filling with one dog but I ate two. Fries were super crunchy. Only ask since I’m Hispanic is a spice add on even if it’s at a surcharge. 10/10 recommend!

Good hot dog joint! Good late night craving food. Hot dog was fantastic 10/10, very flavorful. Fries 8/10, very not very crispy and not seasoned as well as would like. For the standard yo-yo dog and an order of fries I paid around ~12 All in all good, unique hot dog spot. 8.5/10 and would recommend if craving hot dogs in the city.

Let me tell y'all about a late-night craving i had. Let me set the scene: After a long shift at work, I knew exactly what I needed to set my soul right: Yo-Yo's Hot Dogs. I called ahead because I wasn't sure I'd make it before closing. I got Yo-Yo himself on the line (yes, THE man!) lol, and he was super cool. I told him I'd be a couple of minutes late, and he said, "No worries, I'll let them know." Already, I was feeling taken care of. Well... I just missed them. When I got there, I explained the situation, but one of the staff kindly told me Mama Yo-Yo had called it a night and the grill was closed. My heart sank but then something happened that reminded me why places like this are special. They didn't send me away empty handed. Instead, they handed me a courtesy Bulgogi Fries for the road. I was speechless. Who does that these days?! That small gesture made a big impact. They were hot, fresh, and absolutely scrumptious. I devoured them in the car. I came back the next day, as promised. And let me tell you those hot dogs were worth the wait. Perfectly grilled, loaded with flavor, and crafted with love. The ambience was lively, the service was top-tier, and the food? Simply amazing. Yo-Yo's isn't just a food spot, it's an experience. A family vibe, incredible customer service, and unforgettable eats. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, they treat you like one of their own. Thank you, Yo-Yo's, for turning a missed meal into a memorable moment. I'll definitely be back. SIDE NOTE* They have 3 locations... At the POST, 2201 Dallas St

I had the honor of meeting the son of Mr. Yo Yo, and his coworker Jay. They were so welcoming and authentic. I love that there is only one item to order. This was my first time and I am truly blown away. The hotdog was absolutely delicious and I can see why it has made them so famous. They know what they're doing and they're not changing the process. Great company with great food.

Yoyo’s Hot Dogs absolutely delivered! The all-beef hot dogs were top-notch—clean, not greasy, and packed with flavor. The toppings were fresh and generous, adding just the right kick to every bite. No one is leaving this place hungry, that’s for sure. The portion sizes are awesome, and everything tastes homemade in the best way. And do yourself a favor—definitely get the bulgogi fries. They’re next-level good. I’ll be coming back for those alone. Great spot, great food, can’t wait to visit again!

I always come here when I’m in town. I love the simple menu, you just don’t need 100 items on the menu when you do the things you do perfectly every time. Just order one of everything. You won’t regret it.

Good day folks! Little corner shop - open window to the kitchen - no booths - no chairs - that means we are eating outside in the parking lot! Nothing beats food you can eat sitting down on parking lot block or standing eating it off your car hood! We are 956 and street food has been part of us all my life. And hotdogs are a perfect street food and Yoyos makes a dammn good one. First time here so I made sure I ate that dog slowly and enjoyed their creation and new combination of flavors in my mouth. Young man taking our order was all about the Yo-Yo's vibe and made sure we knew we were stepping into a special unique place. Thank you Yoyo's Let Love Lead!

classic, delicious houston hot dog I used to go to YoYos when it was a cart late night in rice village and the brick and mortar is just as good. The hours have been a little strange but they're pretty standard now, evening-late night. Per the menu- " a bun spread with cream cheese, all-beef hotdog, caramelized onions, fried onions, hot sauce, honey, and mayo." It is perfect, it is filling, and it is the same every time. Service at this location is a little slow considering it's a hot dog, but they make the order right in front of you which is nice No tables and chairs, you order, get your food, and leave. Service is friendly and to the point, and there's also a window for late night orders.

Finally tried YoYo hot dogs! hot dog and bun itself 10/10 delicious. One of the best hotdogs I've had. Special toppings 4/10. Those carmelized onions are burnt. They are a deep black pile. They disintegrate they are such mush and really don't add any flavor. Did like the crispy onions. The sweet sauce was eh. Loved their mustard The reason I give 3 stars is the value. -1 for the "carmelized onions" and -1 for it being $8 no matter if you get the special toppings or not

Honestly, great service, owner, smoky hot dog with crisp, kick, and caramelized onions, great for any time of the day, and a late-night eatery. A small shop that is packed with many favorite and loyal customers. The only thing that I can't get around is the price, 8 dollars for a hot dog, even if they added a bunch of toppings, is wild and cannot be justified in my opinion. Otherwise, it's a solid place, and I love the family-owned business aspect of it.

Nut allergy friendly: They serve one dish here, and it doesn't have any nuts! Order to Hot Dog: less than 6 minutes It's a 5/5 spot if you've never been, but a 4/5 if you've had the old Yoyo's. Maybe that's just my nostalgia talking, though. Houston natives remember the days when we had to line up in Rice Village for 45+ minutes on a humid summer evening for a hot dog at Yoyo's hot dog stand. How the times have changed! The price is now $8 instead of the old $4-5, but the charm is still there. Yoyo's is the great equalizer, where people of all nationalities and socioeconomic background meet to get an amazing late night bite. The hot dog in general feels smaller than it used to be. I think it's less loaded with caramelized onion than it used to be, and the hot dog itself is smaller. They don't make them like they used to, but it's still a banger of a hot dog. We've traded a 45+ minute wait in line for a smaller and more expensive hot dog. Best enjoyed while intoxicated or after midnight. I'll be back, though I hope they can continue loading the hot dog with the delicious toppings. Edit: I had a problem with billing and called in and the OG Danny himself set me right. He's still got it, 10/5 service.

I have been wanting to try these hot dogs since forever! I pass by and think about it often. I even see the location at The Post. We had just finished watching a movie at IPIC and was bummed they didn't have hot dogs on their menu. I love a good hot dog at the movies or the ballpark. We only ordered drinks and popcorn, so we headed off to find food. Finally had the opportunity while headed to Cava, and I saw YoYo's and convinced my bf for hot dogs instead. I win. Lol. No one was there when we arrived, but after we ordered, a bunch of groups started coming in. It's to-go only, and they sell a few canned drinks, water, and lemonade. The all-beef hot dogs are topped with caramelized onions, fried onion, honey mayo, and cream cheese. Yum. Clogged arteries, here we come! But oh so worth it! I got mine all the way, and my bf asked for no mayo or cream cheese. Por que?! He's more health conscious than me. We both enjoyed our versions. It was so hard to resist not scarfing it down in the car on the way home. I'm glad we tried it, and there wasn't the usual line. We'll be back!

Some dang good Seattle style hot dogs if you're OK with the $8 price point. Seattle style = cream cheese in the hotdog. Don't knock it till you try it!!They churn the food out really quick so it is PIPING hot. No seating, but it's meant to be an in-and-out with your order vibe. We come back every time we're at the bars nearby. Def Woll be back!

This is a really good hotdog. I love onions but I can't taste the onions. Maybe they cooked all the flavor outta them. The meat is flavorful but value is lacking at $8 per hotdog. Still, it's one of the best hotdogs I've ever had.

$8 for a hot dog is CRAAZZYY, you could get a meal at shack shack for around that much. The hot dogs were great at $4, but $8 and no Yoyo in sight just ain't worth it. Somehow the cart felt more official than the brick and mortar.

Man!!! If I knew how to make these at home EXACTLY how they do it here.....I'd make these a couple of days a week! In the meantime, I'll GLADLY pay the $8.00 for them to put these flavors together for me to enjoy. Such a flavorful hotdog. It was hot. It was fresh. I devoured it in the car in front of the spot, lol! The guy who took my order was all smiles and polite. Based on the amount of ppl that were there at the time, I got my hotdog in less than 5 minutes.

Service. Foods great. Driving by saw no line so I decided to stop. Guess they had to go out back and kill a calf. Needs better time management
