Pop it (Closed)

Came here for lunch one day with boyfriend as we were walking in the Tai Hang area and saw this was new. Hotdogs seemed like a good idea and in we went.Layout looked like a hip pub like eatery. There was a cool chalk drawing on the wall. Tables and high chairs and a bar area for eating. You order and pay at the cashier and they bring the food to you when ready. There is 10% service charge.Noted cute retro like mustard and ketchup bottles on the tables.The menu had a variety of hot dog types, lobster roll and dessert which is basically bread pudding. All hot dogs come with French fries with an option to upgrade truffle fries for $10 more.They have a variety of soft drinks, wine and craft beer.Pizza Dog ($76). I ordered this. First, I'd like to say ... the hot dog is small. Seriously ... SMALL. It was topped with marinara sauce, parmesan and mozarella and panko bread crumbs. I don't know if it was due to the sauce or what but it made for one soggy bun. The marinara sauce was also unseasoned. The frankfurter itself was not grilled properly. It was soggy and it felt like it was boiled in water and not grilled later to ensure crispiness. The fries were disgustingly oily. It was so oily, I couldn't finish them.Chili Cheese Dog ($76). Boyfriend added $10 to upgrade to the truffle fries. Um...don't waste your money. It's the same super oily fries but now drowned in truffle oil so the whole thing smelled horribly overpowering. The size of the hotdog was also quite small. The chili was all things fail. It was just unseasoned bland minced beef thrown on top. Is it that hard in Hong Kong to find a good chili cheese dog? I guess so.Service was fine and fairly attentative. It's just that the hot dog was over priced and below mediocre. I won't return.…Read More

之前喺IG見到有D明星推介左一間大坑新食店，相片非常吸引，於是就決定去試一試...當日由銅鑼灣(維園附近)行過去，大約15-20分鐘左右就到達, 其實位置都相當容易搵到，因為就喺炳記茶檔對面(大坑地標之一)  鋪面面積不大，不過半開放式設計，空間感不錯，感覺仲幾relax TIM~~~ Menu 主打當然係熱狗啦，有11款…睇住Menu入面嘅”介紹”其實有d難揀haha…我地分別order左 Chili Cheese 同埋 Cheesy Dog :  Chili Cheese ($76) , 辣肉醬好香口，辣味岩岩好 Cheesy Dog ($66), 厚厚嘅一層芝士…岩哂愛”芝味”嘅我!!!不得不提，佢地個薯條，用新鮮薯條制作，香口得黎都唔會太油膩，我好鍾意!!! 呢一餐”新嘗試”其實都幾滿意，食物有質素，環境 座位都好舒服…唯一美中不中，以呢個價格…我覺得個包可以大份番少少…唔知係我地2個大食定太肚餓…一人一個包+薯條後…居然仲有少少肚餓! 不過POP IT! 都值得再encore! 希望到時可以改進一下份量同埋有更多熱狗的款式!:)…Read More

New Hot dog joint in Tai Hang. The restaurant specialises in hot dogs done in a unique style. The frankfurter itself was decent quality, and you have the option of choosing from a variety of toppings and pairings of ingredients. Aside from the "American Classic" there are more unusual flavours like "Goo Lo" (sweet and sour!) or "Texas dog" (pulled pork). These were both tasty and fulfillin. The best was most certainly the Lobster roll, which had juicy succulent lobster pieces with a nice balanced Mayo sauce. The bun was good quality, fluffy bread, and didn't leak. Paired with the yummy truffle fries, which were freshly fried and done to a crispy but potatoey texture, this was a win win combo! Definitely highly recommended.…Read More

New place in Taihang. Stopped by last week to check out the menu and got a dirty look when I didn't order. Stopped in again today for a snack. Nice hipster interior w/ some craft brews, tank top, tatooed gweilo staff to make you feel cool. Ordered an American classic dog w/ fries for $56. They charged 10% service charge even though it's not mentioned on the mentioned. I asked about it - they said it's standard in HK. Hot dog was tiny, fries very oily. Nothing special about the flavour. Being an entrepreneur myself (and also hoping for a new food option in my hood) I decided to give my feedback to the guy acting as the owner/manager. His response - "you're the first person to complain". Not how you deal with valuable customer feedback as a new biz. Granted, he did offer to refund my cash.…Read More
