What User likes about Japadog (at Santa Monica Pier):
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.

The service was good, but the food was just average. It would improve a lot if they toasted the buns a bit longer.

Great location considering it's right on top of the pier. The hotdogs weren't mind-blowing, but still pretty good.Food: 4/5
