Myungrang Hot Dog - Berkeley

I've had Korean Hotdogs before and I loved it, so I was excited to try this place. There was no line when I went, so I got my food pretty fast. I ordered the Potato, Mozzarella and Sausage with sugar, a side of cheese mustard and ketchup. It was delicious! I loved the sugar coated fried potatoes around the hotdog. It was super crispy! The cheese was nicely melted to create a cheese pull. The staff were kind and the prices were reasonable! I'd definitely come back for another hotdog and to try the Tteokbokki and Taiyaki!

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't too busy! This spot is tucked in the back of Asian ghetto. There was a bit of a line after I ordered. I could see how there could be a decent wait since there was only one person working at the time but that means all the food is extremely fresh! I ordered with the worker but there is also a kiosk next to the register to self-order. I got the potato mozzarella and sausage. My friends opted for a bunch of the other hotdog combos, taiyaki, and tteokboki. You have the option of adding sugar and sides of sauces. I got a light roll of sugar with ketchup and mustard on the side. It's an open kitchen and I saw the guy make everything fresh. The kitchen was very clean as well. The hot dogs were great. I got quite full at the end, especially with the extra potato crust. The outside batter and potatoes were perfectly crisp. The "slightly wreck the roof of your mouth in a good way" type of crisp. There was some chewiness to the interior of the batter as well. Mozzarella gave a great cheese pull. Hot dog itself had plenty of flavor. The hot dog was proportioned to be half mozzarella and half hot dog. I do wish it alternated a bit more to be quarter divisions for the mix in flavor. My friends enjoyed the taiyaki and tteokboki as well. It did take a bit longer for those last two to come out. Overall quite pleased with the experience! It's fairly priced and filling. I will definitely come back again and try the taiyaki.

If i could give this place a -5 stars I would.I went during their soft opening & their food was mid & their customer service was horrible.1. The guy on the register didn't look like he was trained. They just threw him on the register. I already knew I wasn't going to come back.2. The food on the screen didn't come out how they were supposed to. I got the hot cheeto hotdog & the hot cheeto was only a little line at the top when the picture on the screen showed that the hotdog was covered. False advertisement.3. They had a self serving kios & it took my money but they didn't "receive" my order. Had to ask for my money back. No apologies from them. The least they could have done was just give me my food still.4. When they ask you what kind of sauce you want they only drizzle you a tiny bit in the hotdog, even though they had a whole container of prepped condiments they didn't offer any. Disappointment.5. Go to SEOUL HOTDOG instead. That place is 100x better. They have a better drink selection. They have a condiment station. Their hotdogs looks exactly like the picture on the screen.

We stumbled across this restaurant in a corner of a small outdoor food court with plenty of other restaurants to choose from and turns out it was during their soft opening. Their grand opening is on February 7th-8th for those who find this review. I've only tried cheese hotdogs once before and I wanted to give it another try. For our order, we got the original, the mozzarella and sausage, the potato mozzarella and sausage, and the potato flaming hot Cheetos. We also ordered one of each Taiyaki which is a Japanese street food snack shaped as a fish that usually has a thin batter with sweet ingredients inside.If you haven't tried one of these hotdogs yet, they are absolutely amazing! The outer crust is crunchy and flavorful but once you bite into it, you'll get that soft gooey cheese melt. My personal favorite was the potato flaming hot Cheetos hotdog. It was like eating a hotdog, cheese fries and hot Cheetos all the same time. All the flavors combined tasted amazing! Customer service was great and the staff were all friendly. The restaurant is too small to have any indoor seating but there are long tables and plenty of seats outside. Overall, I definitely recommend you try their hotdogs for a unique fun, yet flavorful experience!

Welcome to Berkeley Myungrang Hotdog!!!Located in, what I believe is called, the Durant Food Court, Myungrang brings in another food option for whatever you may be craving that day! They're located towards the end of the outdoor food court. They do not have indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating (if weather permits).To order, they have a kiosk or you can order through a human. Their menu is pretty simple and straightforward. They have 12 hotdog choices, Korean Tteokbokki (2 different spice levels), and Taiyaki (4 different fillings).Yelp Elite Dario O. and I decided to get numbers 1, 3, 8 and 11. Korean Tteokbokki "Rose" aka medium spice and one of each flavor for the Taiyaki.The Hotdogs are exactly what you'd hope and expect-- creamy on the inside, nicely crisp on the outside! They use an all beef sausage, too. They have an option for light, regular or no sugar coating and 6 different sauces. Out of all the sauces, their cheese mustard was my favorite. It paired so well which each hotdog!!! I chose light sugar which was, imo, a great idea because it didn't take away from tasting the batter but also added a nice sweetness. A little sweet and savory for your tastebuds! I'd never had Taiyaki with Cheddar filling which was pretty interesting. Oreo was definitely my most favorite!The Korean Tteokbokki "Rose" for sure had a kick to it! The rice cakes were soft and tender. They even add a few pieces of hotdog! They recommended to dip our Hotdog(s) in the Tteokbokki soup which was delicious! The creaminess and spice from the soup enhanced the texture and flavor of the hotdog! And you kind of don't taste that medium spice anymore lol When we got there, more people started to flood the restaurant with orders but they worked in a timely matter and prepared everyone's order accordingly.Overall, I have no doubt this spot is going to be a popular place in Berkeley! They have a great location with good amount of seating, prices are reasonable and the quality of the food is up there.

Saw an ad for the soft opening of this spot while scrolling on IG and really glad I checked it out! They have 20% off everything until their grand opening on 2/7-2/8. I definitely recommend taking advantage of it while you can because we really enjoyed our food. I got the mozzarella and sausage (3.) and the squid ink and mozzarella (5.). My boyfriend had the hot cheetos (11.) and the sweet potato and mozzarella (9.). We also shared a rose tteokbokki which they cook fresh for you! Everything was so good, I would order all of it again in a heartbeat. The tteokbokki was what surprised me the most though. I knew they had to have good Korean corn dogs if they expect to make it out here but I was blown away by their tteokbokki. The flavor was perfect, it was decently spicy, and the rice cake was nice and soft. The fish cake was delicious in it too, and they were not stingy with it. Don't forget to dip your corn dogs in the leftover rose sauce!For the corn dogs, I love that they have sweet potato options. I want to get that next time I go since I really enjoyed trying the one my boyfriend ordered. I also want to try the cheddar and sausage (4.) here next time as that's a usual favorite of mine at other spots. Will try to be back one more time for the 20% off deal! All in all, a yummy visit and great addition to the berkeley gourmet ghetto. Will be back!

Best Myungrang Branch Ever!This location is hands down the best Myungrang branch I've been to! They offer a wider selection than the Cupertino branch--not only serving delicious Korean hotdogs but also tteokbokki and taiyaki in a variety of amazing flavors. The hotdogs were super fresh and tasty, and the rose tteokbokki was loaded with free toppings like bacon, hotdogs, and fishcakes--such a great surprise!The atmosphere is just as great as the food. They have a cute outdoor seating area that's perfect for enjoying a meal with family and friends. On top of that, the staff was incredibly kind, and the owner was super cool and pleasant to chat with.Thanks for a fantastic Saturday lunch! Can't wait to come back. :)

Amazing service--owners are so delightfully generous. Favorite is the potato mozzarella dog! Definitely recommend :)
