Most people might think of hot and spicy dishes from the name, but personally, it made me think of two things: sweet and flavorful. Honey Spicy is a cozy spot with friendly staff and a menu that makes it really hard to choose.

I went for the Potato Rice Crispy Corn Dog—a beef sausage wrapped in chewy rice batter, rolled in little potato cubes and panko. It’s deep-fried to golden perfection and sprinkled with sugar. The sugar adds a light sweetness that plays well with the savory beef. 

They’ve got a bunch of other versions too, like one with spicy bacon batter and another with oatmeal in the coating that adds a sweet, nutty crunch. Honestly, I could make a whole meal just from trying the different corn dogs because the portions are no joke.

Pro tip: Get your corn dog half sausage, half cheese for just $0.50 more. Also, ask about any special dipping sauces; they might have something extra to pair with your crispy treat!

While Twozone Chicken PNW is known for its tasty fried chicken, its Korean corn dogs are the real showstopper. Their flavors hit all the right spots: the classic original with savory sausage and the gooey cheese corn dog.

My personal favorite is the Half & Half, which gives you both sausage and cheese in one. The combo of sweet, crispy batter and savory filling was so addictive that I honestly couldn’t stop at just one.

Besides their amazing corn dogs, they’ve got a full menu with other crave-worthy items like wings and fries to match it all. I paired mine with a side of tteok-bokki (those spicy Korean rice cakes), and it was the perfect mix of comfort and flavor.

Pro tip: To level up your Korean corn dog experience, ask for a sugar sprinkle. Their Potato Corn Dog comes topped with it, and that sweet crunch really takes it to the next level!

Foodies like us know exactly how precious unique flavors are, and Ko Sisters Soul Food really delivers. I went for the Half Mozzarella Cheese & Half Fish Cake Corn Dog, and let me tell you, eating it felt like a full-on experience I’d love to revisit.

The cheese perfectly complemented the bold, savory flavor of the fish cake. If you’re up for more food adventures, they also have potato-coated and ramen-crusted versions. Just imagine how wild (and surprisingly good) they are! 

The innovations they bring to staple Korean foods are super cool, and I’d totally recommend them to anyone who loves Korean culture.

Now, this spot is all about corn dogs—and I’m not mad about it. 

Two Hands Corn Dogs has a wild lineup of Korean-style corn dogs, like the Injeolmi Dog, dusted with roasted bean powder and drizzled with a sweet lechera-based sauce. Then there’s the signature Two Hands Dog with that OG sweet ranch sauce that is so good. 

To level up the whole corn dog experience, don’t sleep on the kimchi fries. The slightly spicy kick is such a chef’s kiss!

Oh, and they’ve got a ton of slushies to choose from to wash down that flavor-packed munching. I went for the Horchata Slush, and it was the perfect cool-down. Honestly, once you start trying their flavors, it’s hard to stop.
