A restaurant serving hot dogs with an Asian twist just recently opened up their first Toronto location, and now they’re quickly opening their second.
Japadog makes hot dogs with toppings like seaweed, avocado and Japanese mayo, as well as creations with no dogs at all, stuffing buns with chicken karaage or rice and shrimp tempura.
They also serve fried chicken and sides that include takoyaki, fries and poutine. The brand has multiple locations in British Columbia.

Japadog has been in business for 20 years, and opened their first restaurant in the United States in 2011. They’ve won awards and have gotten visits from celebrities and well-known athletes.
They opened their first Toronto restaurant at The Well, but now they’re bringing their Japanese-inspired hot dog creations to a new area of the city. The new restaurant will be located at 509 Yonge St.

“After leaving everything behind in Japan, we started our new journey of hot dog business, and have met thousands of great people and partners along the way,” says Japadog owner and president Noriki Tamura on their official website.
“With much support and grateful opportunities, our stores have slowly grown.”
Japadog’s second Toronto restaurant should be opening at the end of February.
