Staff looks intimidating because they're face looks so serious but when I approach them they were very easy to talk to and straight to business which I like. The food was really yummy. I ate the B1 Large serving. It was superb especially since it was served hot. Highly recommended. Worth it for my taste buds.

Due to a cancelled flight, we had received a few meal vouchers and decided to spend it here. The staff was extremely patient and kind with us to help us maximize the value use of our vouchers, while being efficient to sort out our order (as there was a line beginning to form behind us). Despite our large order, we got our food very quickly and everything was delicious (especially given airport food standards). A huge thank you to the staff for being kind to folks stuck in a bit of a bad situation.

These are great dogs with great toppings. Well worth stopping here on your way out of the airport. Great and friendly service. Credit and debit cards only. Had the Kurobuta Terimayo and Okonomi. Both were excellent. Dogs can be ordered as vegetarian also, non meat eaters don’t need to stay away from this place.

My go-to for quick bites! I usually get their Wagyu Terimayo or Kurobuto Terimayo. They're quite stuffed so I get full easily - partnered with their fries that is. Their Takoyaki is decent as well! The staff are efficient in handling the orders given that there's always a line of customers.

As a tourist from Toronto, This is quite unique! Got Wagyu Teri-mayo Hotdogs with a Curry Poutine and a Yuzu Lemonade To drink. The ordered items tastes Great, would definitely give this local chain a try!

Our time in Vancouver was limited and we didn’t have time for my spouse to try the japadog in the city, so I was glad to see Japadog at the airport! He tried the spicy terimayo and I ordered the seaweed fries. It was tasty just like I remembered from my last visit in the province. Staff were friendly and great. Service was fast. Japadog is highly recommended when in Vancouver.

Always love getting a japadog here when I have a flight. Their shake fries are pretty good too! I like the okonomiyaki dog.
