    Is this the teokbokki that we have been looking for? Sadly, no... My criteria is quite easy: flavor and texture. Both weren't impressive, and I can probably make from scratch after getting all the ingredients from hmart right there. We went for spicy but it wasn't spicy. Would i come back? Sadly, no. Would I recommend to someone else? Sadly, no.

    Was in the area and decided to check this place out! I saw it on IG but that didn't specify it was in the h mart so I was lowkey a lil confused at first lmao. It is inside the Hmart cafeteria, all the way in the back. Anyways got there around noon on a Saturday. There was 2-3 people in front of me in line. I got the beef brisket rose tteobokki, no cheese, medium spice. It was about $25. It took about 15 min for it to come out. It was a looooot of food, I could only finish a little less than half. The tteobokki was long, chewy and bouncy, fun to eat. There maybe 5-6 pieces of the long tteobokki, just fyi. The ramen was a nice texture contrast and the beef brisket was seasoned well. The egg and mandus was a nice touch in between bites. The sauce was spicy sweet. I asked for to/go container from the cashier. Clean up was simple and I put the trays back to the rack by entrance Pretty good cheat mealllll

    This place is one of many that I would return to. The parking here is not great but you will find a spot since there is a lot of people coming and going. This is a new spot inside H Mart. The staff is friendly and very helpful when trying to decide which dish is a better choice to get. I ordered the tteokbokki with beef. Since I had opt for the less spicy version, I was given the rose. It seems creamier than the original, almost tastes cheesy. The rice cakes came out as these long noodles which I seem to love. Would def come back for this dish. So convenient since it is a market. Van order food and then grab a drink while waiting. Plenty of seating. Self clean up, just need to return your tray and they take care of the rest.

    Located inside Hmart! We came here because we saw the long tteokbokki going viral on tiktok and had to give it a try. We tried the beef brisket rose topokki and the tteokbokki was really soft and chewy. The tteokbokki also absorbed the rose sauce very well which I feel like a lot of tteokbokkis fail to do. I also like how it came with ramen noodles and dumplings! Everything tasted really good together. The flavor of the sauce reminded me of spicy vodka rigatoni. The large portion size was good for 2 people granted we didn't eat breakfast and went on a hike before. We came here on a Wednesday lunch and it wasn't busy at all.

    Dduk is located inside Hmart's mini food court. I had just finished grocery shopping and decided to grab some food togo. I came on a Tuesday around 11:15am and was able to order right away. They gave me a receipt with a number that they would call out when my food was ready. It took about 10 minutes for my food to be ready. They had a condimentant station where you can get sauces togo. There was ketchup, mustard, mayo, sweet chili sauce and even sugar. I ordered.. #12 BEEF BRISKET ROSE TOPOKKI $24 -size medium, less spicy. It came out piping hot. I went to my car and had to try it right away. It came with beef brisket, longggg topokki, ramen, fish cake, 1/2 boiled egg, 2 fried japchae dumplings, cabbage and green onion. The ramen and topikki had a nice chew to them. The brisket was tender but not too much flavor, so I just mixed it into the rose sauce. The rose sauce was creamy and a bit on the sweeter side but I enjoyed it. The cabbage was a bit bitter. 3/5* 1/2 & 1/2 POTATO HOT DOG $11 -the potato hot dog itself was $8, but I got half cheese and half hot dog so it was another $3. I also had it sprinkled with sugar but you can get that togo on the side at their condiment station. The hot dog came out piping hot and super crispy. The crinkle cut fries had a nice crunch to them. The cheese was ooey gooey and the hotdog was tasty. Very hearty. 4/5* The cashier / staff were friendly and informative. I've come back a few times for togo and I'd order the same two items. The potato hot dog was always good but the rose toppoki would be a hit or miss.

    The Beef Brisket Rose Tteokbokki is the move here. Sauce is rich, rice cakes are soft not rubbery, but order at least one level above mild if you want any actual heat. The Potato Half Half Corn Dog is good but the sausage pulls away from the potato breading when you bite into it. I would come get it again if I was grocery shopping at H Mart. The service was nice and quick, got my food under 10 minutes and the ambiance is just a regular food court which is fine!

    First time trying this place - beef brisket topokki
    Khrystel G.

    This is my 4th time coming back. I've been wanting to try the corn dogs and today was finally the day since I'm not too hungry for my usual rose topokki! I recommended my friend to try the rose topokki and they really liked it. As expected the medium was too much for one sitting so they will get to eat the leftovers for dinner! I'm pretty picky on getting drinks and I actually really liked their yogurt drinks but sadly the worker said they don't sell them anymore! Boo! Regardless still a solid place for me. I did thought the hot cheetos corndog would be more flavorful. I'll most likely go back to their topokki next time over the corn dogs.

    Dduk Dabang is located in H Mart's food court area. A good amount of tables & chairs for you to actually sit down and eat your food. Separate multi-user men and women's restrooms. Order via cashier or QR code. We tried a few dishes like the... *Beef Bowl (4/5) - marinated beef & onions over steamed rice. *Half & Half Chicken (yangnyeom & soy garlic) - breaded boneless chicken with the choice of sauces. *Beef Brisket Rose Topokki (4/5) - flavorful filled with noodles, marinated beef, mandarin, etc. *Soft Tofu Ramyun (3/5) *Mango Yogurt drink (3/5) Overall, it was pretty good and everybody seemed to enjoy each dish. We'll be back to try their other dishes.

    They close their kitchen at 8:30pm. The hours on Yelp disappeared but I was there on a Friday evening and they closed exactly at 8:30pm; confirmed with staff. Had the Brisket Rose Topokki and the Half and Half Chicken with Soy Garlic and Sweet Corn. The mild spiced Brisket Rose Topokki was very good. Well balanced sauce, not too sweet, not to creamy, not too fishy. The dish came with perfectly soft chewy extra long rice cakes, ramen noodles, thinly sliced brisket, fish cakes, half a hard boiled egg, and topped with 2 non meat pot stickers. Good portion, enough for two people. Also can be ordered regular spice level. The boneless chicken were on a pricey side but good. The Soy Garlic pairs better with rice; sweet with slight garlic flavor. The Sweet Corn chicken were much crispier, covered with sweet corn powder. It reminds me of buttered corn taste. Both made with dark meat chicken. Also came with 2 pieces of sweet corn sprinkled with the same sweet corn powder as the chicken. I'd definitely go back to try the other dishes.

    Wow!! This place is trendy for a reason, even tho it's inside an H mart do not underestimate how fresh and delicious this place is. Some of the best K Street food I've had, the rice cakes are perfectly soft yet chewy and had the best bite to them. The chicken was moist and delicious and perfect to share. My friend and I split a Korean dog and it wasn't oily at all it was so fresh and crispy and paired so well with the dduk sauce. Definitely the place to go for late night eats or with friends.

    Finally! Hmart has been missing out on foot traffic ever since bazak bazak/myungrang left. And I've been missing out on my cheese dogs! Came on Friday evening shortly after their grand opening and it was busy! About 10+ people in front of me in line. I overheard another group say 40 minute wait for food. There was only about 13 orders ahead of me so I don't think it would actually be 40 minutes. We ordered the T3, fried cheese chicken tteokbokki. Was gonna get the brisket but I can't say no to fried chicken. $28 for the large I think. And one potato cheese dog (minus the dog). Surprised it costs extra $2.50 for only cheese no dog. So $10.50 for that diabolical. I haven't been to Myungrang Cupertino in a long time but DoorDash says it's $7.25 for the potato cheese dog, and that's probably including some sort of DoorDash markup. Then spent 10 minutes grocery shopping, only needed fish balls and udon for home. Then I had to wait. Brought the food home since the seating area was packed we live close enough. It was pretty good. I'd do it again if there was a shorter wait. Order first then shop. It did end up taking about 42 minutes. The cheese dog was cold by the time we ate it but I microwaved it for 15 seconds and it was good. Still, $10. The tteokbokki was good but maybe I shouldn't have gotten large. We were both super full by the end. It has a lot of variety. Long chewy rice cakes, ramyun noodles, mandu, fried chicken, cheese, fish cake, kimchi, shredded green onion, half a boiled egg. I just wish there was a little more sauce.

    Saw their sign a couple weeks ago when I was grabbing snacks for work and decided to try it this week. It's in a supermarket, so it was a little loud but can still have a conversation. They're located in the back corner where the Korean hotdog place used to be. Workers were nice! I ordered the beef brisket topokki to-go. The flavor was a 3.5. It was typical topokki flavor, but I got hot and the guy at the cashier was like yeah it's definitely hot-- it was mild. What made it a 4 is the LARGE rice cakes (different vibe from the cut up small pieces) and the portion size. I mean for $23 worth of food that shouldn't be expensive when purchasing in bulk, I would hope it would come with a lot. Satisfied my craving. I will be back to try the hotdogs!

    Came by during their grand opening phase but overall still a solid experience. They were running a promo for a free small drink, but unfortunately they were already out for the day. There are so many options on the menu, which I loved. I ended up getting the medium beef brisket tteokbokki about $25, and the portion is honestly good for two. It gets really filling once you start digging in. The long rice cakes were interesting, and I ended up cutting them up to make them easier to eat. They tasted house-made -- super bouncy and chewy, which I really enjoyed! The mandu has a japchae filling which is probably one of my favorites. The beef was a good amount and on the fattier side. The sauce was definitely on the sweeter side for my preference but that's probably because I'm a savory girl. Food did take a while- about 25-30 minutes. but I'm hoping that improves as they settle in since they're still pretty new. Location-wise, they're inside the HMart food court, tucked near the restrooms in the corner. The space is very casual and chill, with plenty of tables and even some bar-style seating. Pro tip: do your grocery shopping while you wait. It makes the time go by much faster!

You can pick different combinations from the menu, but some choices are considered premium and come with an additional fee. We went with the spicy chicken and beef tofu soup. It came with a bowl of rice, and the portion was enough for two people. The chicken was a little on the dry side and the tofu soup was missing some depth of flavor, but for the price it was good enough!

The beef soup came boiling, and there was a generous amount of beef, mushrooms, and tofu. The only complaint I have is the soup ratio was less than what I'm used to so about halfway through the pot there wasn't much soup left to pour onto the rice the way I normally do. But that's not a bad thing, means you're getting more protein! Service was great, but it's a bit expensive from what I'm used to so I docked a star. I'll check out other places and see if this is just the normal pricing for the area.

I was sweating, but it was very flavorful and I kept eating as the sweat dripped down my head. My friend ordered the chicken bibimbap, which SJ Omogari calls, "Chicken Ricebowl." That stone bowl was SUPER HOT! It was sizzling when served, and we could still see steam as she packed up her leftovers! My friend loved the crispy rice on the bottom.

    Traditional Korean food place, good portions. Flavored…read moreapproved from coworker from Korea. Got soft beef tofu and beef stir fry Comes with side dishes you can share. Service was quick, come in sit down look at menu wait and order. Ambiance was seat down tables, with various Korean art pieces on the wall. Kpop playing in the background music, I like kpop so it was good for me

    I would have given 5 stars but knocking off two stars due to poor service with one of the servers…read more I've been coming to this restaurant for many years, dating back to the previous owners, who were always warm and welcoming. I have many fond memories of dining here. The food is still excellent. We ordered the tofu and chicken bubbling soup along with the bibimbap, and everything was delicious. The quality of the food is definitely a reason I would return. Unfortunately, the service was very inconsistent. There were two servers during our visit. One was incredibly kind, professional, attentive, and welcoming. She checked on us, offered more side dishes, and was very sweet with my six-year-old son. I even thanked her personally at the end of the meal because her hospitality stood out. The other server, however, made the experience uncomfortable. From the moment we arrived, there was no warm greeting -- we were simply asked how many were in our party. We were seated at a very small table, and when I politely asked if we could move to a larger one since we were ordering multiple dishes with sides and I had my young son with me, she looked visibly annoyed. Throughout the meal, she kept making faces when I asked normal questions about the menu or requested an extra to-go box. These were simple customer requests, and her reactions felt rude and unnecessary. I also noticed that several other reviews mention a woman making faces during service, and based on my experience, I believe this may be the same server. That kind of behavior really affects the dining experience and should be addressed by management. Hospitality matters, especially in a restaurant setting. Good food is important, but customers should also feel welcome and respected. Overall, I would come back because the food was delicious, and the other server was genuinely lovely. However, I hope the owner takes the service concerns seriously. If I return, I would likely ask to be seated with the kind server who made us feel welcome.
