Hong Kong is known as a city of food, with any cuisine imaginable all housed in one city. However, when it comes to hot dogs, it seems the city is sorely lacking! The name of this place intrigued me. I'm from Toronto, and our longest street is Yonge street - we've also got hot dogs everywhere in the city! So naturally, missing a taste of home, I decided to try it out.Atmosphere (5/5): Very retro American diner style decor, with neon lights out front, a hanging stepladder, and an interesting open
The name of this place intrigued me. I'm from Toronto, and our longest street is Yonge street - we've also got hot dogs everywhere in the city! So naturally, missing a taste of home, I decided to try it out.
Atmosphere (5/5): Very retro American diner style decor, with neon lights out front, a hanging stepladder, and an interesting open-air bar area for eating. The restaurant was very clean, and logically organized given the amount of space. The kitchen is open, so you can see them grill your sausages in front of you.
Service (4/5): Prompt service. The staff was very nice and helpful, and let me taste some of the cheese sauce when I inquired about it! Overall satisfied with the level of service.
Price (3/5): While not expensive, they are certainly overpriced for what they are. At $65 a sausage, they're not cheap for junk food. Tack on a drink and fries, and you're paying $80!
I ordered their Hickory Smoked sausage, with a side of Sweet Potato Fries.
Hickory Smoked Sausage (3/5): This was the star of the show. When you get your sausage, you have you choice of a multitude of toppings, including traditional ones such as relish, bacon bits, peppers, and onions, as well as some less common ones such as tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, olives, and corn. The wide choice of toppings would cater well to a variety of tastes. They are also not skimpy on their toppings, happily adding more if you prefer. The sausage itself was a bit of a letdown. It was juicy, but was not nearly flavourful enough. The casing didn't have the snap of a proper sausage, and the meat seemed a little processed and not "meaty" enough. Definitely could not compare to the sausages back home! That being said, this is still probably one of the better sausages in Hong Kong, and I would come back here if I ever craved a sausage. The bun itself was unspectacular, but not shabby either. Unfortunately, the bun to sausage ratio is skewed toward the bun, overwhelming the sausage and making it a little on the dry side. Make sure to compensate with lots of toppings!
Sweet Potato Fries (4/5): Arguably better than the sausage! The coating was crispy, with fluffy sweet potato on the inside that was just moist enough and not too sweet. They also held up in shape, unlike many places where they come out soggy and limp. Definitely worth trying! The fries looked decent as well.
Overall (4/5): While those of you who have had sausages and hot dogs in North America may be a little let down, this is still one of the better sausages in the city. The sausages are grilled, imparting that flame-kissed flavour, and if you're missing a hearty sausage from home, this might be just the ticket!
