Kaohsiung Insider

These reviews are terribly outdates. I tried this place today and the food is /horrible/. The only decent food were the waffle fries and the hotdog bun. The lasagna is plain inedible. The hotdog is hard and chewy, the cheese is orange, the chili is bland. They do not offer different meat types.

The pizza I tried was called "Italian" and it had a pepperoni like substance. I would also wager it had onions and peppers by taste; however, the visual clues weren't there. It also had some black substance, which I'm totally not sure what it was.

I will never go to this place again.

What can you say? A Taiwanese take on the great American Hot dog! The Chicago dog is NOT a Chicago dog...but still reminds me of one. I don't think Taiwanese would like the original...so their version is fine. (My wife likes the original though) The owners and staff have been friendly to me. So I'd recommend a sitdown there....if you don't mind the young'ins sitting around staring at you.

mmmm...Chilli dog...

Less than a block West of the Kaohsiung city train station, offers quik and tasty Hot Dog meal combos, pasta, lasagna, and pizzas. Go for the wieners and stick with it, they're not bad, and come in a variety of fixings (each style of hot dog named after a major US city). The Chicago is a tasty one topped with jalapenos, onions, tomatoes and other fixings including relish, mustard and ketchup. The dogs come in a variety of meats including beef, the buns are pretty good and even better toasted, the chunky fries are crispy enough, and free refills on the fountain drinks. This is a somewhat funky little place with a Harley (almost never driven) parked at its entrance, a couple of large flatscreen televisions, an outgoing and ever present Taiwanese owner, and chock-a-block young locals clad in the latest hip-hop gear abound here.
