Japa, what?

Japadogs. What is this you might ask? Well.. it’s hot dogs, Japanese-style. What started off as a small kiosk on the corner of a busy intersection in downtown, Vancouver, has become quite a phenomenon. Although they’re running street stands at the moment, they will be opening their first official store soon! Food lovers, this is a stop you’ll just have to make. It has become one of my favorite street foods over the years, and those who have tried it will definitely understand why.

The queue might be long at times, but hey.. good food is always worth the wait, right? After all.. who could resist the tender, juicy Kurobuta pork sausage loaded with fried onions, Japanese mayo, and nori shreds? Oh, and not forgetting the teriyaki sauce.

If Steven Seagal and Rapper Icecube has made Japadogs their choice of lunch when they’re in town, I think that says quite a lot. Not forgetting the staff of these Japadog stands. Honestly, they’re some of the friendliest and down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. So what are you waiting for? If you’re ever in Vancouver, make sure to check this food joint out, for it will definitely not disappoint!
