CrunCheese Korean Hot Dog — Restaurant in Spring Valley

Everytime I'm in the Shanghai Plaza area (where CrunCheese is located in), my family and I have just finished eating dinner to which we're not in the mood to eat anything other than dessert. However, on 4 Jun 2025, there was a shift in paradigm...we found ourselves in Shanghai Plaza during the day (around lunchtime), so this was our golden opportunity to finally try this place out after passing by it all this time.

When we walked in, I was glad to see that the wait time wasn't long at all - I've seen how busy this place gets in the evening hours. The menu wasn't too difficult to figure out, but it did take me a while to decide because there were a few items I wanted to try and unlike my normal binging self at new restaurants, I contained myself to only selecting one item. The service was great; the female employee working (that day) at the cash register and adding the toppings/condiments, was very friendly and helpful. The business was kept clean to include the countertops surrounding the interior of the restaurant, which was great because we utilized it to eat at.

We ordered the Mozzarella and Hot Dog with Potatoes, Original Hot Dog with Sweet Potatoes, and the Mozzarella/Cheddar Hot Dog with Potatoes (this item was the special menu item). Everything tasted surprisingly remarkable considering I'm not normally into food that has so much going on with respect to condiments and such. I am not a tremendous cheese lover either, but mozzarella happens to be one of my favorite cheeses, if I had to pick one (easily in the top 3 category). The cheese pull on the mozzarella was incredible and seemed to last several seconds and a few feet.

Overall, this place is definitely worth trying - the prices are very reasonable and the food quality is great. If you're visiting and staying either on the Las Vegas Strip or downtown area, take a Ride Share or taxi to come visit this business - you'll leave happy, especially after the interaction with the employees. The wait time varies depending on the time of day; it seems that the longer wait times are in the evening hours, as I mentioned earlier...I guess everyone likes to stop here for a quick snack. I can't validate the exact wait times during the hours of darkness; however, in the middle of the day, you're waiting ~10 minutes after you place your order. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Thanks, CrunCheese for making me stay at the gym even longer that evening...but it was...

Review: Cruncheese Korean Hot Dog – Spring Mountain Rd, Las Vegas

If you're looking for the perfect balance of crispy, gooey, and savory indulgence, Cruncheese Korean Hot Dog on Spring Mountain Rd is a must-visit. This spot elevates the classic corn dog into something extraordinary, with a golden, crunchy exterior and a variety of fillings that take every bite to the next level.

I tried two different options: the Regular Corndog and the Cheese-Dog-Cheese-Dog Corndog—both of which were absolutely delicious in their own right.

Regular Corndog: A Classic Done to Perfection

The regular corndog might seem like a simple choice, but Cruncheese makes it anything but ordinary. The batter is light yet incredibly crisp, with a satisfying crunch that gives way to a perfectly cooked, juicy sausage inside. The contrast between the crunchy coating and the soft, fluffy interior makes every bite an experience. And with a light dusting of sugar on the outside (optional, but highly recommended), it adds just the right hint of sweetness to complement the savory flavors.

Cheese-Dog-Cheese-Dog Corndog: The Ultimate Indulgence

This one is a true showstopper. Imagine layers of melty cheese alternating with juicy sausage, all wrapped in Cruncheese’s signature crispy batter. The result? A bite that starts with a satisfying crunch, leads into the stretchy, gooey goodness of cheese, then finishes with the meaty bite of a well-seasoned sausage. The combination of textures and flavors is next-level, making it one of the best variations on a corndog I’ve ever had.

Overall Experience

Cruncheese doesn’t just serve corndogs—they serve an experience. The hot dogs are made fresh to order, ensuring you get that piping-hot, crispy perfection every time. Plus, they offer a variety of dipping sauces that allow you to customize each bite to your liking. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is lively, and the food is worth every penny.

Whether you're a corndog purist or someone who loves creative twists on classic comfort food, Cruncheese delivers on every level. If you’re in Las Vegas and craving something uniquely satisfying, this spot...

So, no pictures today... but a huge secret-- read on, and don't tell!

Located in a crowded strip mall full of Asian-food goodness... towards the left-most end of the parking lot, you'll find CrunCheese...

I always begin with "original"s because I want to taste the original concept... but listen... YOU don't have to.. because I'm here to tell you what's what...

Get the cheese... get the oozy cheese and try to catch it as it oozes out the more you bite along.

Get the cheese with a hot dog/ sausage... but for heaven's sake, get the cheese.

My husband got both mozzarella and cheddar, he says mozzarella took the cake. I was happy with cheddar, but definitely want some mozzarella next time.

Sauce #2 is the bomb... it's ALL about the chili sauce (don't worry, it's sweet, not spicy) mixed in with all the other condiments. Go whole hog, get #2...

And be forewarned, right now, probably due to Covid rules, you can't eat on the premises.. so... psssst... here's the Golden Secret--

There's benches/ tables upstairs. Technically, they belong to a dessert place... but TECHNICALLY, it was 11:30AM and the dessert place wasn't open... (and they SHOULD be, I'd have happily purchased a dessert hot dog chaser!) so... sit at their tables and enjoy the distant view of Resorts World, the Stratosphere, and a nearby mostly-industrial zone.

You'll enjoy the experience, and the...
