Good size serving. I like the idea of giving you a plastic glove to help minimize the mess. Food is very good. Serving time is very slow for a hot dog

Liked the concept and flavors of Wagamama - the combination of curry & nori with mayo cabbage (offsets the strong flavors), on top of the juicy hotdog was perfect!

I had high expectations for this place. We got the Wagamama hotdog sandwich which had Asian coleslaw but didn't taste like Japanese mayo or wasabe mayo like it said in the menu. It was pretty tasteless. We also got the nachos which had standard nacho cheese, jalapeños and ground beef. Overall disappointed.

A quick weeknight dinner of hotdog sandwiches at Podium. We got their best sellers, Coney Island Chili Dog for dad and Wagamama for me. Mom had the Julius.Dad must have been hungry as he wiped out the sandwich right away. The huge hotdog sandwiches were pretty messy to eat. The fork, knife and gloves were a huge help. My Wagamama had the option for Japanese Mayo or Wasabi Mayo. They forgot to ask me which one I preferred. Good thing I was able to let them know before it was served. The bread was big and soft. The hotdog was tasty. The toppings and dressing though didn't taste like Japanese Mayo. Ordinary Mayo was more prominent.The sweetness and the blend of their 1 Liter iced tea was just right. I had a couple of sips from dad's drink.The table and benches though are pretty small. I didn't feel comfortable sharing a bench with my dad. I was seated in an awkward position.The hotdog was pretty decent but I would probably enjoy the Julius more since it had bacon.

We're having hotdogs for lunch. The Coney island Chili Hotdog is well-toasted and heavy on the belly, while the aglio olio (pasta of the day) came out just fine. The food is expensive, if only because of the large hotdogs and toppings. Dine here when you want a hotdog sandwich with a bunch of extras.

Schmidt’s is one of the well-known hotdog brands in Manila. It serves various well-garnished hotdog sandwiches at relatively steep price but are worth every penny. It has been years since I last had a bite of Schmidt’s hotdogs and when I spotted it last weekend, I made sure that I do not miss my chance sinking my teeth into some juicy meaty treat. Hello, Schmidt’s! The place is pretty small and seemed to be designed to look like a kiosk with a few tables and benches for dining. Since Podium is hardly packed even during holidays, we easily got a table. My mom and sister were still stuffed from lunch so we decided to just go with one sandwich—The Julius (PHP190). I also added PHP60 to get one liter of Iced Tea which is normally priced at PHP90.

I have tried their gourmet hotdog in maginhawa StrEat food park. Hotdog sandwich comes with nachos on the side, one of the best ever tasted.

Amazing Hotdogs! Nice flavor selections. Unparalleled buns. My wife and I both ordered the Coney Island, and we shared a Wagamama, not because we were hungry, but because of the unique flavor. Both dogs were perfect.  Is it the best hotdog in the world? No, but it might be the 2nd best. The Vienna Beef hotdogs in Chicago are slightly better by the slightest margin.  I would have liked to have some fresh French fries on the side, but they are not on the menu.  All in all it was a great experience for my family and I. My wife and kids boldly exclaimed Schmidts hotdogs were the best they'd ever tasted. I can't prove otherwise until I get them to Chicago.

While ordering, it is really hard to decide which hotdog flavor you would order. For me, it is the best hotdog I ever tasted. My favorite is the Wagamama flavor since it has a taste of japan. The price may be a bit pricy, but it is really worth it. Nachoes were okay, a bit too overpriced though.Problem is when ordering, there should be at least a small taste test before ordering to avoid ordering a flavor that doesn't fit your taste. But mostly all the flavors fits my taste.

I asked the lady at the counter what's their best-selling kind. Their Coney Island one was recommended so I ordered one. It came out within 5 minutes or so as I'm the only customer that time. The buns are really soft a day they soaked up the chili con carne and other moisture so easily. I was expecting the chewy, crusty kind of bread but it was the opposite. It was airy, light and pillowy-soft. It contradicts the sausage that's probably 1/2 pound or more. The exterior of the hotdog is amazingly toasted (the way I want my hotdogs to be) and it is complemented by the onions, sour cream and cheese sauce. You'll need to take a good big bite for it to come off clean. Heck, they even provide you with a glove! I am definitely going to eat more, especially when I'm not on a budget. Haha
