world famous? its just a hot dog stand.. 9 times out of 10 i'd prefer a normal hotdog

How exactly is it a knock-off?

Have you tried it?

what the hell is a japanese hot-dog anyways???

Japadog is world famous. They've been featured by media from all over the globe and loved by many famous artist and entertainers.

Whatever is popular always get copied, so no big deal.

I tried it once at the Night market last year.

went there near closing time, got one at discount price of $2. Its alright.

sounds like a sex position.

like a Portuguese Breakfast. (From Deuce bigalow)

The name of the their products are the same as the one downtown (terimayo etc)....if i remember correct, that tall skinny nerdy dude even boasted how his tasted better than japadog......i tried it, and for 4~5 dollars....i even laughed at myself for being so dumb as to think it may come close in taste.

hahaha i love this quote on their site!! " Our English is very poor. The followings may make mistakes. We are sorry."

the guy at japadog makes a killing. 5 dollars a hotdog with redicilious lineups. I bet he makes 3-4 grand a day.

which reminds me, during the olympics im opening up a souvlaki stand.

Same, my cousin and i are planning to setup a vietnamese sandwich stand which sells healthy cold cuts and bbq duck sandwiches....;)

i'll trade you some banh mi yit dac biet, for some lamb souvlaki....

its not considered a knock-off

replica then i suppose?....or how bout plagrism?

discount?

plagrism is if they called it japadog as well
it would be more like a replica, which means its similar, but not the same as the original

Well, they do call theirs Terrimayo (vs. Terimayo) and Oroshi (same name).

Would be the same issue if I started a burger joint and sold burgers with two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun and called it Big Mac.

Not sure if technically whether its a "knockoff" or plagarism or replica, but it certainly isn't the most legit of business practices.

I called it knockoff coz it sounds the most absurd for food, and most fitting for the Night Market.

if it was a problem i don't think that the city of richmond would give them a business license to operate

I could sure go for a Japadog right now.

i guess if you consider local newspapers and on a travel show about vancouver 'world famous', then sure.

it's short and small, just like their dicks

that's why there's always 4 or 5 of them to 1 girl in the AV movies

the japadog guy came to ubc month ago and the line up went from the SUB entrance to near the aquatic center entrance

Terimayo and oroshi are both just names like ketchup and mustard. It's just like how every izakaya calls deep fried shrimp with mayo based sauce ebimayo. Not really a big deal.

Now if the name of the booth was Japandog or something like that, then that's pretty bad lol.

Why the hell does this place sell both japanese hot dogs and greek souvlaki? That's just random shit together right there.
