Kiri Kiri has built a huge following — and for good reason. Known for their crispy, flavor-packed Korean fried chicken (in flavors like Half Soy Garlic, Red Hot, and Sweet & Spicy), it was only a matter of time before they added Korean corn dogs to the menu. And they didn’t miss. These corn dogs are everything you’re craving: crunchy, stretchy, authentic, and totally satisfying — just the way they’re supposed to be.

Tea Garden always delivers when it comes to drinks — from Banana Pudding Matcha to specialty pho and golden egg tarts, it’s a foodie favorite for a reason. Their menu features beloved staples and fun rotating drinks, but what our comment section made loud and clear: their Korean corn dogs are severely underrated. Heads up though — they’re not available every day. Keep an eye on their Instagram for Korean corn dog drops… and act fast, because they do sell out!

It’s no surprise U Like Tea made the list. While they’re best known for their Taiwanese-style drinks and desserts, their Korean corn dogs are an unexpected standout. Crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, these corn dogs go to the next level with sauces like Bang Bang, Sweet & Sour, and their signature Vietnamese Chilies 🌶️ Sauce 🔥. Don’t forget to pair one with a refreshing Dragon Dance or creamy Vietnamese Milk Tea for the ultimate snack combo.
