While the hotdog in most settings can be a routine affair — a little mustard, some ketchup and a dab of relish — what sets Arirang apart is how the eatery kicks it up a few notches.
While the basic coating is typically corndog, the dressings and fillings include various types of cheeses, poutine, beef, sausage, Oreo cookie, Cheetos and chicken nuggets. Plus, there is a variety of sauces to choose from.
“Crispy, yet chewy. Both sweet and salty. a very unique taste, nothing quite like it,” said one reviewer. “You can even mix them all together. It’s very customizable.”
As well, the croquettes can be customized and come with fillings such as chicken, curry and red bean.
Prices range from $4 to $7 for most items.
