Ssong's Hotdog - Columbia

Ssong's Hotdogs has become a cult favorite in HoCo. With the rise of Korean favorites trending due to influence such as KPop, Korean style hotdogs have taken the scene. My favorite is the spicy hotdog, but ask any of my friends and they each have their favorite ranging from potato mozzarella to the one with nori. I enjoy getting the sweet chili sauce to dip my hotdog in. I haven't tried many of their drinks yet, but I would like to in the future. I have tried the pink lemonade, and it's pretty good. I don't taste any food coloring and the sweetness is refreshing and not overpowering. Like Auntie Anne's or Cinnabon, it's become a staple for me to pick up a Ssong's hotdog while I'm at the Columbia Mall. The service is always pretty quick and nice, and the prices are very reasonable.

Cheddar Korean Corn Dogs at Ssong Hotdog is phenomenal! Everything we got was delicious but my favorites for sure are the Cheddar Sausage and the classic Potato Mozz Sausage! Be sure to pair the meal with some Pear Juice, I get it everytime it is so refreshing!

This was a super yummy appetizer/snack. They give you about half of a hot dog wrapped in a TON of cheese, and corn dog breading. They also have options to add potatoes on top but I didn't love them, they were a bit dry and made it a little too big to eat. They also rolled mine in sugar which was an AMAZING addition. The reason I did not give 5 stars was because there was hardly any hot dog in it, it was mostly just cheese, good tasting cheese though. If you are a big cheese fan, then you will love this. I also got lemonade which was alright, i think I'll stick with water next time. Another thing I enjoyed was the abundance of sauce choices. Their staff was friendly too. Overall, I would recommend!

Just watched a K-drama last night in which the main characters ordered Korean hotdogs for a snack. I didn't know a Korean hotdog restaurant existed nearby, but THANK goodness there are!! Ordered potato crusted mozzarella & sausage, rice cake & sausage sticks, fish cake stick, and their regular corn dog. All very delicious. A bit pricey though for what they are, but definitely a treat once in awhile for sure.

As of 2022, Ssong's Hotdog is keeping the once-thriving carousel area of Columbia Mall alive. Flanked by an empty ice cream shop and across the now-closed Starbucks, this humble little Korean hotdog stand serves up freshly fried, golden corndogs in all various combination of flavors. This is my second time here. Menu items range from your regular corn dog, to mozzarella and hotdogThey also have several drink options available too. I got the Asian pear, which is still my favorite so far, but I do want to try the other ones.Curious to try the other flavors so I will definitely be back!

I tried out the potato hot dog with a friend. I loved the crunch and cheesiness! The interesting thing was that the interior were mini hot dogs lined up on a stick, not one big hot dog like how we see it in America haha. I got sriracha Mayo on the outside, it wasn't spicy, which is great for everyone! There were 5 different sauce options you can pick from. Overall, the taste was so good! It was so flavorful, fresh, and crunchy. There was a slight wait, but it was so worth it. The staff were friendly and kind. I'll definitely go back and try another item, it was a great experience!

My brothers and I shared the mozzarella stick. We really enjoyed it, it was a lot more than we anticipated and plenty for all 3. It had a lot of cheese, the breading was crunchy and fluffy, not overpowering - which we really loved. We asked for the sriracha Mayo and it paired really nicely. Customer service and price was excellent. The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is because it wasn't cooked all the way and the cheese in the middle was cold.

I'm heart broken. I was extremely shocked to find out they took my favorite item off the menu! No more potato sausage hotdog Josh, please know we are upset about this change. The "new" potato mozz sausage hotdog is a third of a premium hot dog with 2/3 cheese . I'm not happy at all.I brung two friends with me to try Ssongs for their first time and was heart broken. I can't describe exactly how I'm feeling but I know you follow yelpers can understand when you have come to depend on a certain food item and it's a longer available or they change the recipe. It reminds me of what cheesecake factory did to the shrimp scampi. I am really in my feelings. But also disappointed that they took it off the menu. Oh well . . .

Maybe it's my LA level expectations, but I was very disappointed with Ssong's hot dog. I'm a huge fan of Korean style corn dog and I ordered the Mozzarella corn dog and was shocked at the tiny portion & the price tag (~$6). Unfortunately the dough was very mushy and not crispy nor chewy. I decided to opt out for frozen version of Korean style corn dogs from Hmart and air-fry it myself. Sad.. was really looking forward to this spot.

I spoke to the manager about the mozzarella dogs. He was very understanding and provided 3 mozzarella dogs that were excellent. Great customer service and the dogs are very good and appreciate the great customer service. Thank you
