Umai Savory Hot Dogs

We came here a few weeks ago and we look forward to coming back once they're open again. Huge shoutout goes to Michael for all of his hard work working the register then jumping on grill, I hope they're able to have more staff soon so it's not all on just one person to do everything. Extensive hot dog menu with other quick bites available. They offer bottled drinks or soft drink machine. Also plenty of parking available in this shopping center next to the nugget market. Thank you Michael for making our first time experience here enjoyable, welcoming, and we appreciate your hospitality, kindness, knowledge, and support.

I love supporting local restaurants in my area. Of course when it comes dinner time, like always I never know where to go grab a bite. Yelp is always so helpful to find good eats. That's exactly what I did. I went on yelp and picked good eats and thats when I stumbled upon Umai Savory Hot Dogs. Upon entering the restaurant I was quite surprised that it wasn't busy at all. It's a pretty cool spot to hang out at. The menu items all looked pretty interesting. I ordered the honolulu bang bang, truffle fries, and baga sliders. I have to say wow these did not disappoint. I love the sliders! The sauce was so delicious. I could not stop eating the truffle fries! So hot and crispy! I love pineapple so the honolulu bang bang was the perfect choice for me. I can't wait to go back and try the wings. I also have to mention about how nice the cashier was. She took the time to explain about some of the menu items. I also see her working very hard and multitasking. I will definitely go back to try more delicious food.

I received $5 off for my Birthday from Umai Savory Hot Dogs, so I decided to finally try it out. Honestly, if it wasn't for the coupon, I would have never gone here haha. I thought this place was just hot dogs trying to be fancy. To my surprise they have so many other options! Hamburgers, chicken, fries, etc. The one item that caught my eye was the Bulgogi Dog. I ordered through Toast Tab because I was in a hurry. It was very easy to order through the app, and it applied by $5 off. I entered, and my order was ready.I got home, and man, it smelled so good. The Korean bulgogi flavor was very good. There was kimchi, but it wasn't too strong, which was perfect for me. The box it came with was very nice and sturdy. So nice I took a picture of it haha. They gave me a 15% off coupon for next time. Because of the tastiness of their Bulgogi Dog and this coupon haha, I will definitely be back again to try their other items.Just be aware it is a tad bit on the pricier side for a hot dog, but it is what it is, and it was very good. There aren't many cheap eats nowadays.

I have been wanting to try Umai for so long! We always passed the location near Arden but it was never a good time to stop by and try them out. FINALLY I was able to commit to lunch here last week with their new EG spot. And oh my goodness, it was overly indulgent where every bite so dang delicious! If you're looking for a cheat day, this is where it's at! There are so many hotdogs to choose from so best believe I will be back here multiple times to try those other ones, lol. I chose the Bacon Cubano with Kimchi Fries. This whole meal had flavors I don't typically eat. The fact that I enjoyed 90% of it proved to me they know what they're doing here! I wasn't a huge fan of the mustard (a tad much for my liking) which would account for the 10%. Layers and layers of bomb flavor and textures. Salty & tangy pickled notes in every bite. Also, I've never tried kimchi before! I loved it on my fries here. I would highly recommend those to anyone, especially those timid to kimchi. The idea of kimchi never seemed interesting or tasty to me, however, I will try it now! My friend got the Bulgogi Hotdog with Umai Fries. A lot of excellent Asian flavors packed on this hotdog. Awesome actual meat with excellent flavor, not some unknown plain thin shreds of beef. Umai fries were a perfect complement to the hotdog, amazing asian flavors all around. 10/10! I'd like to add the hotdog buns they used were probably the most structurally sound pieces of bread I've ever had with this much of toppings stacked on. Not once did it ever get soggy, break in half, or was so soft it got stuck to the roof of my mouth. I need to know where they get these buns for my own parties! Came here during a weekday at 12:30. Not busy, received service very quickly and the employee was helpful in what hotdog I should order. I was between the Bacon Cubano or Nashville Brisket. I will be ordering the Nashville Brisket next time. Restaurant was clean, plenty of open space and seating, along with outdoor seating. There are high chairs available as well. I'll be coming here again very soon and I recommend you do too!

While running errands at the nearby Nugget Supermarket and Rite Aid, I observed a new business called Umai Savory Dogs. Initially, my first thought was: "how much better can their hot dogs be versus something that you can create at home?" Weeks later, my question would be answered. Bored with our usual go-to cheat meals, I did an "around me" restaurant search on the Yelp app and Umai was at the top of my search. Impressed by the photos and reviews, we decided to place an order via DoorDash.My wife ordered the Kyoto Fire with a side of the Umai House Fries, while I ordered the Nashville Brisket with a side of the Garlic fries. For the first time in a long time, I was highly anticipating the arrival of our meals. The anticipation was definitely worth it, I confirmed that we made the right choice after taking the first bite into my Nashville Brisket dog. The combination of pepper jack cheese and pork brisket perfectly complimented one another. Also, the large order of fries was indeed plentiful (they do not skimp you) and delicious. My wife was equally impressed by her order, so impressed that she was hesitant to allow me to have a small bite (I eventually snuck a little bite and came to the conclusion that I will be ordering the same thing next time).I highly recommend Umai Savory Dogs...we will be back soon!

Only hot dog place in Elk Grove to my knowledge. They put almost too many toppings on the dogs that make it very difficult to eat. The bulgogi dog toppings were great but the dog didn't match the flavor profile of the toppings. The Kyoto fire dog toppings were wonderful but the dog was massively overcooked & chewy.Ambiance: 5/5Modern inside that was clean. Hoping they get more busy later in the day!Food: 3/5Bulgogi dog: 3/5Dog 3/5 toppings 5/5Was heavily sweet but good idea.Kyoto fire dog 3/5Dog 1/5, toppings 5/5Just wished the dog matched the toppings in quality. Toppings were crunchy, spicy & creamy. Overcooked dog.Service: 5/5Recommended the two dogs which were not bad.Will be back to get through more of the massive menu. If there were other hot dog options like the Davis Hot Dogger I doubt I would be back.

Found Umai Savory Hot Dogs while walking to the supermarket. I'm not a huge fan of Hot Dogs but my family is so I decided to take them to Umai. We had a mix of their menu including Tokyo Signature, Bulgogi Dog, Umai Truffle Baga, Kyoto Fire Dog, and Funnel Cake Fries.The restaurant was clean and had lots of parking nearby. The cashier was friendly and they were playing current pop music.The food arrived 5-10 minutes after we ordered. All the food was fresh and brought a new taste to the old Hot Dog and Burger. The mix of ingredients worked for all the different specialties. Prices seemed in line with other places. Most of the meat is 100% Angus Beef and the bun was a thicker and more fulfilling than other normal hot dog buns.

This was my first time at this location - the restaurant was very open & clean, the staff was nice & our food came out quickly. After eating multiple times at the other location in San Jose, I think I prefer that one over here. The Nashville brisket dog was good - a little greasy, but good overall, the truffle fries were awesome, but the Texas Roundhouse dog was underwhelming. They literally smothered the dog with the fried onions & chips and then lightly drizzled the two sauces on top of it. I had to dump about half the toppings & in doing so, I didn't get any of the sauces on the actual hot dog so it became a little underwhelming. I didn't want to be rude & ask the chef for more sauce, but the hot dog/bun was still delicious. We'll be back again if we're in the area!

Who doesn't like Hot Dogs? No one! Unfortunately Umai= U my was not Oh my for me as I read the solid reviews and savored over the good looking pics of their offerings We tried 1. Bulgogi Dog= Too sweet & lack the bulgogi korean flavor 2. Chicago chopper = dog was decent but bun was soggy3. Chili cheese fries= goodMy overall impression was maybe if I dined in instead of getting it Togo, perhaps the bun wouldn't be soggy? Nevertheless the flavor of the dogs wouldn't change!I will give it another try in the future & update my review Look at the pics, looked very promising huh?

Maybe 2.7 Overall:I think Umai has potential, but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to visit for the food.Food: On this occasion I got the Tokyo Signature bc I was craving Japadog from Vancouver. The TS at Umai comes w/ an angus beef hotdog, caramelized onions, roasted seaweed, terimayo, teriyaki sauce, and sesame seeds on a toasted bun. In terms of the taste, I was definitely pretty disappointed. The caramelized onions were thick cut, lukewarm, and minimally caramelized. The roasted seaweed felt sprinkled as an afterthought. The sauces were present but unremarkable (missed opportunity for Japanese mayo). The hotdog itself has good flavor but would've benefited from some char on the outside. I did appreciate the fluffiness of the bun, though the composition didn't really live up to the name of "Signature" at all. I've also tried the Houston Honcho before on a prior visit, and I think that wasn't bad but not very memorable. Service: The employee working was kind albeit being pretty busy with orders. Ambiance: Not much to say in this regard, but the restaurant was a bit too warm for comfort.
