Fans of hot dogs, Canadians and Japanese food will want to head down to St. Mark's Place pronto: Japadog has landed. The hyped Vancouver transplant opened its doors last night to hungry folks looking to indulge in the kind of hot dogs you just won't get at Gray's Papaya. Like the Terimayo, a hot dog topped with teriyaki sauce, mayo and seaweed.
You don't have to add toppings like miso sauce, fried cabbage, or okra to your vertically sliced beef, pork, turkey, veggie dogs or fries, but it doesn't hurt. And if you still have room left over after well, never fear. In a genius move the joint also sells an "Ice Age" option in which you get a deep-fried bun filled with three scoops of either vanilla, mango, strawberry, black sesame or maccha flavored ice cream.
As for the space? It is about what you'd expect of a fancy imported hot dog place on St. Mark's. There is a some exposed brick, some wood paneling, and some tables and chairs and stools and counters to enjoy the food at. Which, when there are hot pepper and roasted garlic fries to eat is about all you need.
30 St. Mark's Place
Oh, and for good measure, here is Anthony Bourdain singing the praises of Vancouver's Japadog on No Reservations:
