Came in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch and the H Mart food court was already pretty packed but the line moved fast. Ordered the soft tofu ramyun and yangnyeom chicken to go, and it was ready in about 10 minutes. Enough time to do a quick walk around the market while I waited, which was a nice little bonus! The soft tofu ramyun was solid. Broth had a kick to it but it was spicy in a good way! Portions were big so I was able to split it with my girlfriend. I was genuinely full after. The yangnyeom chicken was really good! Glaze is sweet, spicy, flavorful and the chicken was still crunchy even with the glaze. Would easily come back just for this (but eyeing the other fried chickens now too haha) Overall I can definitely see why the food court stays packed. Will be back for sure. read more

This place is located inside the H-Mart. The cashier was very nice to us and was patient when we were deciding to order and the wait for the food wasn't too bad either. Other than that, that was it. The service was good but the food was really ehhhh. (Also if you order around 8PM, your order will be put into to-go containers) We ordered 3 things: -Beef Brisket Topokki (3/5): They gave us 2 options for the spice level, less or spicy. We ordered spicy but it only had a hint of spice. The meat was not that soft, kind of gamey and the broth was overly sweet and overpowering the taste of the meat. -Buldak Carbonara Ramyun (1/5): This disappointed me more than getting a low score on a test that I entirely studied for. I was going off the taste of a pack of regular Buldak Carbonara Noodles, creamy and somewhat spicy; it was only one of those. It said 'no spice' but damn it didn't have flavor either; it just tasted of creaminess. The few pieces of fried chicken was this dish's save and grace as it was the only thing that actually had flavor. Would not try this again, you shouldn't either. -Soy Garlic Chicken (4/5): The chicken was tender and juicy. It's was crunchy, and the sauce was perfectly balanced between sweet and savory but it didnt taste garlicky enough for our tastes. read more

Beef brisket rose tteokbokki: 3/5 Noodle rice cake was long and chewy with a great mouthfeel. Unfortunately, the sauce was overly sweet, so if you're looking for something savory, definitely skip this. There's no heat from spice at all, even though I ordered spicy. Decent amount of brisket; dumplings had glass noodles which were pretty much flavorless. Potato corn dog: 4/5 Solid Korean corn dog. Had a condiment station where you could coat in sugar and sauces as you desire. Crispy potato outside and juicy sausage inside. Wish they had premixed sriracha mayo instead of having 2 separate pumps of sriracha and mayo lol Strawberry yakult: 2/5 Almost undrinkably sweet. Just artificial strawberry flavor mixed with extremely sweetened yakult, nothing special. Overall, 3.5/5 Cashier was nice and wait time was average. Would try this place again and order something different. The corn dogs are great if you're craving a classic Korean corn dog. A little pricey but worth the portion size imo read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Had to try their hot Cheeto cheese dog! It was good to try once if you're in the area. Located inside an HMart.

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. read more

They replaced the other Korean Hot Dog place inside HMart but now with other amazing things on their menu! The line was pretty long when we were there and seating area was pretty small in size. The food did come out fresh and I do like the rose ttetboki. The menu has other things that I would love to try! It's great for a quick bite or snack! read more

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! read more

What's better than regular tteokbokki? Extra-long tteokbokki loaded with toppings. All of my close friends sent me the same reels about this food court spot inside SJ H-Mart over the weekend, so I knew I had to check it out. Love the vibrant red and yellow color theme, paired nicely with the cute tiger in their logo. Dduk Dabang definitely makes the H-Mart food court feel more lively. There was a line during my weekday visit, but it moved quickly. The staff was friendly and helpful--they explained the menu and gave recommendations during my first visit. There is a variety of items on their menu, mainly focusing on tteokbokki and Korean street food like ramyun, hot dogs, gimbap, fried chicken, and more. I ordered the T1 Beef Brisket Topokki (less spicy, with added ramen and cheese) and C5 Half & Half Chicken (Sweet Corn & Soy Garlic) to share with my friend. The food took about 30-40 minutes, the fried chicken came out first, and the Topokki followed about 10 minutes later. My favorite was definitely the Topokki. The extra-long rice cakes were soft, chewy, and fresh. It was loaded with beef brisket, two crispy fried mandu, half a boiled egg, fish cake, ramen, and some veggies. The portion was huge, definitely enough to share between 2-3 people. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking, but still very enjoyable. My friend and I finished the whole thing, it was a well-spent $32. The fried chicken was good, the batter was crispy and flaky, and the seasoning was on point. But $29 for 8 pieces is too expensive imo. I also don't really understand the extra charge for different flavors. The Sweet Corn chicken (medium) is $19 and Soy Garlic (medium) is $21, but if you get half-and-half, Soy Garlic is +$2 and Sweet Corn is +$3... the math is not mathing for me lol. But I still had a great first visit at Dduk Dabang, would definitely come back for more tteokbokki and to try other items, but I'd skip the fried chicken next time. read more

Dduk Dabang is now open in San Jose! They're located inside the Eatery Food Hall inside HMart. They serve Korean street food and their most popular item is the topokki with extra long tteokbokki (Korean rice cakes). The portions are big and so many options available! I got the signature beef brisket one that comes with mandu, fishcake, ramen and egg. I went with less spicy so the sauce was more sweet. They also have ramen, rice bowls, fried chicken, and hot dogs on the menu! The fried chicken is nicely fried and tasty. read more

came here around 7:15 pm on a saturday with my girlfriend, since this is in a grocery store it was pretty packed but good amount of tables and seating areas to eat. h mart's parking lot is huge so there shouldn't be a problem finding parking, this place is located to the left when you enter h mart and it has its on designated food court area as well. there are condiments and everything as well. for drinks: peach & mango yogurt drink - couldn't really tell the difference at times but honestly if you like yakult this would be such a good refreshing drink. sweet potato & hot cheeto korean corn dog (both half & half) - the sweet potatoes were cooked to perfection and the cheese pull was insane. plentiful amount to feed 2 people. the hot cheetos was also very good and the batter is nice, i would say these are super filling but that's a good thing. beef brisket topokki - the sauce was so good and rich. the rice cake was so long and also thick, the noodles were al dente, and the beef brisket tasted super good as well. half & half korean fried chicken (soy garlic & yangnyeom) - the shape of these chickens were like tenders and i thought that was perfect, the flavors were on point. i highly recommend if you are done with shopping and want some korean street food!!!! read more

Stopped in on a Wednesday evening after work with a friend of mine for dinner. I've been to H Mart for the Korean corn dogs but it's been some time since I've come in and they have lots of other things on the menu now. We came in to try the beef brisket toppoki. We both got a mild spice and the medium size bowl which is huge and can be a little on the pricy side as it's $25 for a medium bowl. However I don't mind the price when the item can become two meals for the portion size. I loved the rice cake soft and chewy and the dumplings and beef were a good add to the meal. We ordered and received our food rather quickly despite the line growing as we ordered. The food corner was very busy and can get a bit crowded depending on when you go and we came at a peak time too. read more

Dduk Dabang - Beef brisket toppoki - Korean Near Me - San Jose, California

Dduk Dabang is located inside the H Mart food court, and there is a good amount of seating available if you want to dine in and enjoy your food there. My friend and I ended up ordering to go, but the space itself looked comfortable and convenient. Since it was our first time, we had a few questions, and the staff were very kind and patient while helping us decide. The menu has a lot of options, including tteokbokki, fried chicken, and corn dogs, so there is something for everyone. I ordered the beef tteokbokki, and it was surprisingly still really good even after taking it to go. The flavors held up well, and it definitely satisfied my craving. I can only imagine it tastes even better fresh in store, so I am looking forward to trying that next time. Overall, a great first experience, and I would definitely come back to try more from the menu. read more

I was really craving spicy rice cake and found this place just opened in HMart! I came here 4 mins passed closing but they were super nice to make the order! Literally will come back! read more

Drove down from Sacramento after seeing an ig reel about this place. Hands down the best tteobokki I've ever had. Perfect amount of spicy and sweet. The noodles are perfect texture. I got a medium and it was soooo much food. I think I'll ask for extra cheese next time though. The dumplings were stuffed with glass noodles and were a bit tasteless. Overall I am definitely driving down again soon!! read more

the fried chicken is so good here; crispy & the chicken is tender/juicy. the soy garlic is a classic and the sweet corn flavor is unique since you can't really get this flavor anywhere. i loved both and also their cheese chicken topokki is just as good, sweet & spicy. 11/10!! read more

Taste: 10/10 Service: order by the food court Environment: ~hmart food court nothing special We ordered beef brisket less spicy rosé topokki and the classic kimbap bulgogi. We recommend ordering regular spicy for the rosé topokki since it already is less spicy compared to the others. One of the best topokki I had. The kimbap was also tasty. We were here a few days after grand opening. The portion size of both item are very generous, and the wait wasn't too long despite a big line of people during a weekday lunch hour. read more

Went here Friday night around 8pm, located inside HMart in the food court area. Super busy and most tables were taken up in the foot court. Line was very long to order. We ordered 2 dishes and ended up waiting an insanely long time. We ordered around 8:35 and got our food at 9:25. Almost an hour wait which was unbelievable! Not sure if they had issues with our order but all other orders got served ahead of us yet ours was the very last one. Due to this wait time, the business decided to give us condolences for waiting for long with coupons for next time we come. If you eat here just be aware of the wait times during peak dinner hours! When we received the food we rate the Soy Garlic Wings a 9/10, flavorful & crunchy with no bones. The Beef Topokki was disappointing in our opinion rating a 4/10. The rice cakes had good consistency but the whole dish was rather flavorless and bland. Would not order the topokki again. Other than that, nice seating area & sauce area with a warm atmosphere. read more

Great first time would recommend to anyone looking for a quick delicious and filling bite. The staff was super friendly and assisted in any questions I had about flavor or texture.

Other than that I love this place will come again. read more

Food came out at a decent time but the egg & corn were so cold, almost frozen. Threw off both of the dishes we got. I got the supposed spiciest buldak & it was so extremely sweet. It grossed me out but I made the effort to eat a little more since I was hungry & excited to try this place but it made me so nauseous & sick. I was sick for the rest of the night & the following morning. Very bloated & nauseous. It literally tasted like they poured sugar over it. The chicken was also disgustingly sweet. Sweeter than orange chicken or anything I've ever had. The price was also way too high for what it is. $50 tab (including tip when they don't even really serve you, you have to go get your order from the counter which is fine but in that case, the suggested tip minimum shouldn't be 18%). I would never try again & would never recommend. read more

service: 5/5 cashier was very friendly ambiance: 4/5 typical food hall food: 3/5 we ordered the beef rose, the broth was very oily and needs to be more thick and creamy. also, the broth wasnt flavorful and we ordered the spicy version, not enough heat. the korean corndogs were very good, freshly made and huge. read more

It is inside a Hmart. Which is a grocery store btw. Not bad just saying in case you're expecting a restaurant. Service was amazing the guy at register was super kind. But $23 for one pack of ramen noodles, with 4 long rice cakes, beef was that MOSTLY FAT, and half an egg was quite disappointing. And the flavor was okay, nothing special tasted like the frozen/ instant packs you can buy at the store. Korean corn dog was nothing special either, not bad tho. And tables to sit at were incredibly STICKY. My bf tried wiping it down with napkins and water and it was still really sticky. Which made eating uncomfortable because every time you put your arms on the table it would stick. read more

Unashamed to say that I visited Dduk Dabang 2 days in a row (and I think they literally just opened haha). As a ddukbokki fanatic, I think their ddukbokki is one of the best I've had in the Bay Area. Obsessed with the mango yogurt drink and soy garlic Korean fried chicken too. Good amount of seating and plenty of parking. I haven't tried their beef bomb rice bowl yet but that's next on my list Super recommend! read more

Here at opening night and packed to the brim! For being in the food court of H-mart, it's definitely dominated the majority of people in the store. The food comes out crisp, hot and they dont skip out the sauce. We'll see how well the cheese settles in my stomach, but it'll be worth it! read more

I was looking forward for DDuk Dabang to open. The service is good, we had a to go for sweet potato half half, original half half, seafood ramyun and beef bomb rice. All i can say is for them to improve their food since they newly opened.. The beef is not that tender and the seafood ramyun is like you just opened a packed seafood noodles then the squid is chewy and not tender. the hotdog is good thou. Just a friendly review to improve the food and tenderness of the meat for you to keep the hype of your newly opened restaurant. read more
