    Muki Dogs has an iconic feel of the food carts you find in NYC! Friendly owner and happy customers waiting for their orders, happy to tell you what their favorites are! Now the menu, super easy and probably the simplest to choose from! There's only 2 items on the list and its: "The Works" - Beyond Sausage, Relish, Sriracha Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard, and Spanish Crumble! But we Opted for the "Miso Kake", - Beyond Sausage, Pickled Scallion, Sriracha Mayo, Miso Paste, and Furikake Crumble. AND we were impressed with the flavors that were partnered with a Beyond Sausage to create a unique blend of delicious flavors that danced in your mouth. For being such meat lovers, we sure enjoyed our Vegan Hot Dog! You simply can't go wrong with a lighter and healthier version of the OG hot dog! Price was reasonable and if ever in the mood for a quick tasty bite we would come back if in the area!

    Good vegan hot dogs in a quaint location. They have two types of hot dogs and will say the miso kake is the more unique/must try one as the works definitely feels more like a traditional dog. You should get both to decide for yourself ;)

    Luckily I looked at other pictures to find where this place is and was able to easily identify it via the cart. Parking was a little challenging it being only street parking. Yes, the vegan dogs take about 10 minutes as they’re made to order and he is the only one. He was grilling a dozen or so at a time. Be patient. I ordered the miso dog which I believe is $8.50 and the event covered a regular dog or the amount of a regular one. I paid the difference which was $1.45ish. I don’t like hotdogs in the first place so was curious to see if this would be different considering I’m pescatarian. Unfortunately, and being truthful, the flavors didn’t appeal to me or my family (I didn’t tell them it was vegan). Perhaps I should’ve stuck to traditional. I see that many people love the dogs so if you are a hotdog lover, this is for you. I’m not a meat eater and maybe this tasted too much like the real deal and the topping selection again, was not to my liking with furikake (although i love furikake on most things). However, Gene is super friendly and wanting to support local, give him a try if you’re looking for a vegan hotdog alternative.

    These dogs are the best. I had no idea Beyond Meat was so good! I live nearby and make a trip to Muki dogs at least twice a week for lunch. Definitely worth a try for anyone wanting a different style of hot dog.

    "Plant-based dogs" how does that sound to you? Interesting, right? You should give it a try. Worth it! They're delicious! 🙌🏼💯🤤

    The most delicious vegan hotdogs you will ever eat! Highly recommended. The owner is very nice, too.

    VEGAN!!! Little hot dog stand that's a perfect place for a quick bite. Two different menu options, very reasonably priced, SUPER friendly, and fast service.

    This guy has some awesome hotdogs! First off, the operation looks like a NY hot dog stand, which is awesome. He flame grills each dog when ordered, the bread is soft, the flavors are awesome, and is always served with a smile and Aloha. As a kicker, the dogs are all animal free! I'm not vegetarian, but I love the flavor of these things. I will continue to eat meat, but I won't avoid this stand... in fact I'll go out of my way to seek it out.

    Delicious vegan hot dogs with a local flare in a small food cart in the side of the road. It's good to see the vegan food scene growing. The only thing that could improve is to grill the buns with some oil (but I'm sure they do upon request). Very friendly and kind hot dogista too!

    Worth the stop. There is only one option so order with the works. Hard to eat just one! Will definitely be back!

    As a chef and meat eater I am in love with this. One of the best “hot dogs” I’ve had and its entirely plant based. Evan is a super cool kind dude. Try this spot highly recommend

    Delicious vegan lunch spot, grabbed our dogs and ate a few blocks away at a park.

    The MukiDogs used to be really good…. Don’t get me wrong, they still are tasty when they aren’t burnt and if one has a microwave available to reheat it… but most people want it fresh and right away…. Not have to hunt for a microwave. There seems to be a new guy manning the cart. Not the owner, and not Mike Woods (he was really customer service oriented, and really good at it, but heard he moved to the mainland). The new guy seems preoccupied and today had lots of pre made, already-grilled MukiDogs sitting in a bin waiting for customers. And, he serves those cold or lukewarm MukiDogs and those are not so tasty. Mike would have a few dogs in the warmer but always saw some cooking on the grill. Always. And he would serve us fresh ones from the grill. Those were delicious! Grilling in advance just doesn’t speak of wanting to provide a great customer experience. Customers like fresh food, not old food sitting around waiting for a customer... Today, I also noticed that the grill was quite “well used” and looked like it needed a good cleaning.. I’m thinking that the burnt stuff that have been on the muki dogs recently may be burnt stuff from the grill sticking to the new muki dog and then gets tossed into the bin. What would make the muki dog great again is for the new guy to try and enjoy the experience of making MukiDogs and interacting with the customer. He hasn’t recognized his regular customers from multiple visits. Aside from being freshly grilled, the aroma of cooking hotdogs would draw people to the cart. This was not the case today as all of the dogs were in the bin. Hoping to see improvements and bring the service and quality back to where it was a few months ago..

    Muki Dogs is the best hot dog I've ever had! Awesome spot 10/10 must hit it up if you're in the area!

  • 5/5 Alex L. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious fusion style vegan hot dogs using beyond sausage brats and various toppings. Two types of menu items as of today. "the works" is the original and is about $6.50 and the special with Furikake and Miso and Sriracha Mayo is around $8. Pretty good and nice owner. Wish it was slightly more affordable though.
