Dawny ChromaGITSDecember 20, 2012You are always greeted upon entering and leaving. Sometimes they bring your order to your table....the food is great and the atmosphere is relaxed. Always a pleasant time when you visit Japadog.
DHR.comFebruary 9, 2012Starting out as a street stand, this business got bigger because of its quality and delicious hotdogs. The one that you must try is the scrumptious Terimayo, one of the restaurant's bestsellers.
Јс тояяєѕMarch 30, 2013I met them in Burrard St. in Downtown Vancouver and I love it! Now I'm glad for having them here. I wish you the best on your business, never forget where you came from :-)
VernonFebruary 18, 2013In all honesty try the food as is before altering it so you can really get a taste of the blended cultural food. And #6 the Yakisoba Dog
Christina SongJune 11, 2013The first time I came here, I had a croquette, pork hot dog. It was great but I've returned recently and quality has drastically slipped. Hot dogs are now just boiled.
Serious EatsApril 1, 2013Hot dogs with wacky, snack-y Japanese toppings (and many variations on fries to go with 'em).
Real Cheap EatsNovember 5, 2012The Age Ice consists of 3 plump scoops of ice cream in your choice of flavors—vanilla, strawberry, green tea or black sesame—set inside a bun that is lightly deep-fried moments before being served. Read more
Chelsea SoMay 18, 2013I have a massive sweet tooth. Gotta love the fried bun and ice cream dish - Age Ice. Try matcha or kurogoma flavors!
Gloriann ChhouthApril 15, 2013The hot dogs here are good! I don't usually eat hot dogs at all but I decided to give this place a try and I was pleased! A+
Janet YuApril 26, 2012This is the place I really don't mind to have hotdog for dinner once every week. Try the wasabi sauce with french fries . Very delicious:)
- Christopher TaiJanuary 17, 2012This place is amaze. Order any of these hot dogs, but make sure when you order your fries, to get them made with the Shoyu and butter sauce. Amaze balls.
Simon HFebruary 1, 2014Good lord the kurobuta terimayo is good... Please try this. The seaweed on top is the delight of this combo
Jon SteinbackAugust 24, 2012this chart is super helpful for choosing your dog. p.s. they also have a ton of veggie options.
Lim Jun ChengAugust 17, 2013Get the Kurobuta Terimayo!! It has the largest hot dog. Be sure to spam more of the wasabi mayo sauce!
Jeanna LaquindanumFebruary 16, 2013You can now use your card! And it seems as though they've lowered their prices. Get the okonomi if you like okonomiyaki!
Elvis RodricksJanuary 19, 2014Pork dogs were okay. The veggie dog with their spicy sauce hit the spot! Curious about their ice cream dog...
P GMay 12, 2013great experience. the special is awesome and will give you a small taste of what to expect!
Stephanie P.November 1, 2013So the "Gyoza dog" with seaweed instead of lettuce is pretty much the best hot dog on the planet. Fo' serious.
Michelle C.January 23, 2012Down in St. Marks- Try the Terimayo or pork dog buried under a soft pile of okra and butter-and-shoyu-soaked fries
Jonathan RolnickMay 24, 2013Quite a long wait for just a hot dog and fries, but it is a must for frankfurter enthusiasts!
Areum RyuFebruary 6, 2014If you want a wide selection of sausage toppings, japadog has it... Never be disappointed again ;^p
Chris GampatMarch 3, 2012Get the #12 with cheese on it. That was the greatest hot dog I've ever had.
Holy cow spicy beef frank was actually spicy; love it. Service a tad slow still but was worth the wait
Get the oroshi or the love meat and slap some siriacha, wasabi mayo and hot peppers on it.
for veggies: the croquette tofu dog is DA BOMB!! as well as the shichimi & garlic fries<3
Yuna 🇰🇷 ParkNovember 12, 2012Take a chance on the ice cream on deep fried sugar buns. You won't be sorry.

- I use to love this place but they have cheaper out and relaxed there sausages with cheap hotdogs and charge the same price. To shame japadog, to shame.
Ben K.June 1, 2012Tony Bourdain covered this place years ago when it was just a cart in Vancouver. Honestly I'm not a big fan.
Andrew AndrewFebruary 21, 2012We came, we ate, and we did a video review!

"Desserts with an Asian twist, the choices are hard to resist. Go for the tapas option and order 3 or more. The Chocolate Green Tea Lava is one of the best, and the Green Tearamisu is creatively tasty."

"Very tasty ramen! And the buns are great too!! But be ready to wait 1h or more for your table!"
