“slow service, but good food. the main item was pretty interesting and you can feed a couple people from it. beware that it is spicy. I wanted to try some of their add on bowls but wouldn't have had enough space to finish it. they also have beverages for a very good price!”
— Kunal Singhal“It was our first time there. We asked about recommendations and let me tell you everything was wonderful. The service and attentiveness we received was everything. It's little things like that besides the delicious food that will always make you want to go back. Everything is shareable by the way and that's awesome!”
— Berenice H. Sanchez“Delicious food and great service!! We ate the Rose yup duk and it was DELICIOUS!! Parking has a person valeting the very small lot, for $3, it was worth it.”
— Celia T“I’ve always wanted to try the kind of tteokbokki you see in Korea, and this was the perfect place for it! It was just as spicy as they said, but still really flavorful and satisfying. The fish cakes were delicious, the portions is huge so it’s definitely a challenge to finish, but you can take the rest to go, which is great. The staff were super friendly as well. Overall I had a really great dinner.”
— MlisseEven the 'extra mild' has significant heat - most customers recommend starting with 'super mild' if you're sensitive to spice.
Most main dishes easily serve 2-3 people and many customers take leftovers home.
They offer valet parking for $3 which customers say is worth it given the small strip mall lot.
It's mainly walk-in service, but takeout orders help avoid waiting given the limited seating.
The classic tteokbokki and Rose tteokbokki are customer favorites, with the 'best set' combo being great for first-timers.
