Yupdduk

I love it here. I’ve been eating at this place for almost a year and a half. The tteokbokki is really good - it’s probably the best rice cakes I’ve had anywhere

떡볶이도 맛있고 주먹밥도 맛있음 다 맛있음!

맛은 있는데 전엔 안그랬는데 점점 물이 너무많아지고 싱거워졌어요.

The food is so delicious. If there is one problem, it is really hard to order by phone. Even if I call during the opening hours of the store, I can't get through to the phone

I grew up in Korea and Yupdduk is my favorite ttoppoki franchise. I've tried 신전, 죠스, 조폭, 미미, etc and I always crave Yupdduk the most. I am grateful for this location but this location has definitely made its modifications. Pros: - I liked that the mild is actually mild. It's not non-spicy as this franchise is known for super spicy food but the mild from Korea is still unbearably spicy even though I am a spicy food enthusiast. So the spicy level is spicy but still manageable. - I like that they have smaller portions as the original franchise only offers huge portions. - The rice cakes are actually good texture. - Food so far I've tried has been a positive experience but nothing crazy mindblowing. The flavors are not as good as the original ones. - Service was good. The server was very polite. Cons: - It's not cheap. - We ordered the Spam Mayo Rice and I'd like to suggest a few things. There is too much mayo. It covers the entire top and it just overpowers everything. I think adding some sliced scrambled eggs and going halfway with mayo will make this dish worth to order each time. Has good potential. - I wish the ttoppoki flavors were more closer to the original for us paying such high price with expectations of the original franchise experience. Overall, I will be coming back when I crave ttoppoki and would like to try other things as well.

Like extra spicy ~
