I never had such delicate Korean rice cake (Tteok) with balance in sweetness , mung bean and pumpkin. It’s the best rice cake I’ve ever had.

[Based on my experiences in 2018-2020]: I am a part-time dduk (korean rice cake) connoisseur and I have yet to meet a person that loves dduk and knows dduk (on a consumer level) as much as I do. I've tried all the well-known, amazing dduks in the motherland (S. Korea)! The quality (texture, taste) of Ehwa Dang's rice cakes are really really good.. even though they are $$$. I love that their rice cakes are not that sweet which may not be a plus to those who have a sweeter palate. I am so grateful that a place like Ehwa Dang exists in the states! I've tried their ssuk (mugwort) songpyeon, strawberry and pumpkin (kabocha) sulgi's, duteopdduk (a traditional 'royal court' dduk), and others that I have sampled in the store. I was really pleased with the textures of all of them!! NEVER refrigerate dduk. As someone who has stored and eaten dduk regularly for the past many years, this one rule is un-negotiable! It's like saying refrigerate your artisan country bread (a big no-no). Either eat it or freeze it. Dduk-makers would wholeheartedly agree. I usually individual-pack the dduck in saran wrap or ziploc bags and stick them in the freezer the same day that I buy them. If you defrost dduk properly (either by leaving it out at room temp or ever-so-slightly heating it up properly; the defrosting method differs for different types of dduk and how long the dduk has been in the freezer..), it will sometimes tastes better than the day you bought it. If you love korean rice cakes and appreciate the lower sweetness profile - as do older korean folks - you will absolutely love and appreciate Ehwa Dang. And if you've eaten a lot of dduk before, you will know that this place serves very high quality dduk. Ehwa Dang is most certainly the best korean rice cake in the area and one of the best in the West Coast including LA (I've basically tried everything that exists in LA; they have pretty good dduk too!). 많이 안 달고 정말 맛있습니다. 가격은 좀 세지만, 품질이 아주 좋아요. 두텁떡도 팔아요. 한국에 있는 떡 못지않네요. LA에있는 떡집들 보다 더 맛있구요. 아줌아도 친절하고 셈플도 맛 볼 수 있어요. 방문하세요!

Bought a gift box of tteok for my mom's birthday. She seemed really happy with it. I sampled all the different types of tteoks in the gift box as well and enjoyed all of them. Lovely subtle flavor, texture, and chew. The light brown one with the pine nuts and walnuts and the one with the black sesame seeds were my favorite. Those two I thought had a really nice subtle flavor and really pleasing chewiness. I believe one of the types of tteok was pumpkin that had a different type of texture and slightly sweeter, but I really enjoyed that one as well. And there was a tteok filled with sweet red bean paste for something more on the sweet side compared to the other tteoks. Lovely tteok, nice variety, and nice packaging.

Soft and chewy rice cake. It tastes less sweet and better than supermarket ones. But there is no listed price on the box and they are pricey.

The owner is a dishonest person. I cannot speak to the quality of her dduk, and while I would believe others who say it is good, I cannot recommend and will never purchase anything from this store myself. My husband and I visited the store at 10:20 in the morning ordered a gift set in person for my friend to celebrate Lunar New Year. The owner lady told us to come back to pick up at 2pm as the gift set needs to be prepared in advance, and she took down my husband's number on a post it note. When I returned to the store to pick up the gift set, the owner lady told me the pickup time was at 1pm, not 2pm, and she had already sold our gift set to someone else. Both my husband and I remembered clearly that she said 2pm. I believe she herself knew she was lying because as soon as I stepped in and told her that I wanted to pick up my order, without any further elaboration about my order or the phone number attached to the order, she straight up told me the pickup was supposed to be at 1pm. I reminded the agreed upon time was 2pm, at which point she then tried to argue that it was already past 2pm. It wasn't even 2pm at the point because this conversation was at 1:56pm. At this point, she took the post it note she had with my order and ripped it up in front of me and said there was nothing she could do. My guess is she didn't make enough or a person who had relationship with her placed a last minute order so she just sold our gift set to that person. She had our number and could have called us to let us know that she could not sell to us today so we could plan accordingly. Instead, she chose to lie and blame us for her mistake. I cannot support such a dishonest business. I will never buy anything from this store, and cannot in good faith recommend any others to this store either. If you plan to buy a gift set from the store and are not a personal friend of the owner, you should prepare a contingency because your order might not be there when you arrive.

Yum! My go-to place for all authentic traditional Korean rice cakes and treats. All foods are made fresh with real food. It tastes much better than similar foods at Korean supermarkets at a great price.
