Japadog (at Santa Monica Pier) - Hot dog stand in Santa Monica - 200 Santa Monica Pier, USA

On a beautiful day or night walking down the Santa Monica pier, what more could you ask for than enjoying an equally beautiful and mouth-watering JAPADOG? Unparalleled taste, impeccable service, and wonderful atmosphere! If you’re in the area I would DEFINITELY recommend checking this place out and treat yourself to a special hotdog. I got the #5 Wagyu Beef Terimayo and it was absolutely delicious, 100% recommend.

I was freezing at sunset as I am not from LA but Costa Rica and then I saw this beautiful stand and went for a classic hot dog, owner didn’t seem to realize me but guess conversation with his employee was funnier… dog was good. No cash accepted but of course smile came when asked for tips… but if u there go visit he has pics w all famous including a client of mine jajaj but yes good.

This hot dog was delicious. I got the 1 and my husband got the 4 but with ketchup and mustard. I thought his would come with a strip of bacon but it was like salad bacon. My 1 was good just the beef hot dog alone would have been good. But as always a lot of bread.

Good hot dogs. Yes it is more expensive than elsewhere, but it is what it is, and at least the Japanese fusion brings something more to it.

Service was good, but food was ok. It'd be a bit better if they toasted the buns more.

We saw this little stand on Santa Monica Pier and we love trying small local places (even if that means a hotdog stand). I am pleasantly surprised by not only the service we got, but how tasty the food was! The gentleman (only one working) was taking all orders AND making them. We hardly waited for our food. It was hot, fresh and looked so unique. A different flare to spice up a hotdog! I recommend the #1 and #2. We also tried the plain takoyaki, SO worth getting!

Nice service, and we tried 2 pork hot dogs. Japanese style sauce, and they were yummy 😋. We sat by the open bench and ate the hot dogs and enjoyed the breeze.

Awesome hot dogs. I had the okinomiyaki version as I'd spent some time in Osaka and wanted to see if it reminded me of those Kansai pancakes. It was great! The sauce was particularly tasty. My wife had the Kurabuto Terimayo dig and she really enjoyed it. The location was obviously unique and amazing. Try it, you'll like it!
