This seems to be a very authentic Korean bakery. I got a Soybean Rice Cake and a Black Sesame Rice Cake. The soybean flour tastes very good. Both texture is soft and chewy. The portion is small and the price is a bit high. read more

Best rice cakes in Santa Clara. I especially love the sweet squash rice cake, soft and moist. Best to go early before they run out. read more

Situated inside a Korean plaza with Kunjip, Ewha was unfortunate to be affected by its neighbor Indian restaurant that they had to do some construction work. It looks like they've been closed since Jan this year with only the electrical license inspected on the 16th of Jan. So don't waste a trip like I did. read more

We got the Baekil Dduk. It was pretty good. Cant say it was super fresh but it worked. By second day it was pretty hard. Not too sweet though. It was $65 which I thought was pricey for the design they do. Its kind of like a hole in the wall so I figured it wouldn't look amazing but it could be better.I added in my own bow to add some color to it. Owner lady was nice. Wish they had some listed prices in store. But I ordered it several days before and they had it ready read more

My favorite Korean rice cake bakery in the south bay. Great quality and flavor. Their duk gets sold out quickly that I always call in advance to secure one. read more

I came by to try the mochi. I ended up purchasing the peanut version ($10k) - this was great because after we finished the mochi I ended up making some additional mochi at home and rolled it in the leftover peanut crumbs! It's a very small shop with odd hours so I think they might close whenever they sell out. They are cash only as well! read more

These rice cakes are amaazing. My boyfriend works in Santa Clara so during his lunch break one day, he picked up some rice cake from here for us to try. The rice was soft and sticky. It was covered in a sweet red bean sauce. The flavor was perfect. And it was definitely filling. This made for the perfect dessert. We even finished it for breakfast the next day. read more

PREORDER is a must! Otherwise, youll be getting the whatever's leftover from their daily orders and you can't order from the menu on the spot. Love getting the box sets for gifts. A bit pricy but everyone loves it! Owner speaks English! read more

This is the perfect place to go to if you want to gift superb Korean traditional rice cakes. These have been tried and true in my family, and are hands down the best in the Bay Area we've found. They have AMAZING gift box options, and are packaged beautifully and thoughtfully. If you are looking to drop by and pick up some orders on the day of, I'd definitely recommend coming as early as possible, or preordering. This place is well-known and popular items sell out very quickly! The customer service is also incredible, the owner is so experienced and is super cheery. I love any time I get to try more of these authentic delicacies! read more

The good: I was able to try the squash tteok, which was delicious. It was freshly out of the steamer, and even the next day, it still tasted good. I agree with others that the sweetness is subtle, not overpowering. The not-so-good: It's definitely spendy. My smaller-than-typical tray (five pieces) was $9. I'd be OK with this if I knew they were using really great ingredients, but I saw that listed nowhere, and judging by the looks of the place, they were not. Mom 'n' pop stores: I arrived at 8am (the listed opening time) because other reviewers note that they sell out early. They were indeed open, but the owner was clearly flabbergasted that I'd arrive early. "8am is the opening time, but I don't have anything available until 10am." Also, no prices are listed on the menu. If you are not like me, this may not bother you. But if you are like me, I'll not return to this bakery unless I'm in the area and it's 10am. Beware the squidgy hours and squidgy pricing and heed other folks' notes, also. Which may or may not be true for your visit. Because squidgy. And mom 'n' pop. And note that you can use a credit card for $10+ purchases only. read more

Such good Korean rice cakes. High quality, good ingredients. Pricey compared to what you get at the markets, but the quality and taste makes up for it. This is where we go for rice cakes on special occasions and as gifts. read more

I went to EWHA Dang Rice Bakery in the morning and my mother went in the afternoon on the same day. We bought the same rice cake unknowingly. It is delicious. read more

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

Great little shop for some Korean rice treats. The rice cakes are fresh and are not very sweet - some are not sweet at all. The price varies but the average price per box is probably around $9. The availability depends on the day, so don't expect to find the cake you like even if it's on the menu. Sometimes they run out of them as well. So keep that in mind. Finally, make sure to refrigerate the cakes if you don't eat them right away as they turn stale overnight because they don't have preservatives. Overall I liked this place a lot. Would definitely come back! read more

Coming from a Korean person, EWHA is legit. It is the most amazing rice cakes I have ever had in my life. I have even had Korean people try this and claim it is better than places they've tried in Korea. They won't have much selection if you drop by, even as soon as they open. Just call and pre-order and pick up for a later date. It is pricier than the usual rice cake, and if you can't tell a difference between good and bad rice cakes - might not be worth the splurge. But for me, worth every penny. I always find myself asking if it is worth it on the way there, then devouring every piece and reminding myself why it's worth it every time. Some of my favorites - #6, 9, 12. read more

It's good, but too traditional without English menu. I have to ask questions before I buy them. I completely understand it's Korean traditional way. read more

great service and the rice cakes are not overly sweet. just fyi the store phone number does not work!

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!). read more

The BEST Traditional Korean rice cake bakery in town! There's several others in town but hands down it can not beat the ingredients or the taste this bakery has to offer! It is a bit pricey but you pay for the quality and not the quantity like you would at other rice cake bakeries. You can absolutely taste the high quality with the rice cakes from here and it is very delicious! Tip: You can individually wrap and freeze leftover and take out to thaw... Once thawed, pop into microwave for about 10 seconds only so it doesn't turn hard (wrapped) and it's good to eat again! I really do not mind spending the money for these rice cakes at all! I highly recommend going early to late morning before they run out of ingredients to make rice cakes for the day :) read more

Love their dduk! All made with organic ingredients without any preservatives. Their sweet squash pan is the best!! Just enough sweetness, tons of that rich flavor from the sweet squash and the right chewy-but-not-so-chewy texture of the rice cake. You have to go early in the morning or else most will be sold out. And, you can't buy more than 4 of the same unless you call and order in advance. Their menu changes every day so look at their menu per day and go on the right day! read more

Went today at 2:40pm CLOSED!!!! If your sign said open until 3:00pm, stay open until 3:00pm. read more

I only visit this place when I need either a 100 day rice cake for my daughters' bark-ils or for first birthdays. Best rice cake in town. I also love the redbean ones. Super delicious without it being too sugary. read more

Best spot in the bay area for Korean rice cakes. (dduk) Yes, it is a bit more expensive here but the quality and taste is so worth it. I recently got back from visiting Korea, so the withdrawals are real. I usually get the injeolmi as that's my fave, as well as my mom's fave. The rainbow colored balls with honey & sesame (kkool dduk) and the red bean filled rice cakes are delicious as well. read more

If you're a glutinous fat ass like me and you like Korean rice cakes, read on. If you're a regular/skinny person and you like Korean rice cakes, read on. If you don't like rice cakes, you're at the wrong page, my fellow Yelper. If I had that fast Asian metabolism, I would eat rice cakes everyday. Sadly I was not built with this, and cannot eat rice cakes on the daily. However, when I do eat rice cakes, I expect nothing but the best. Why? 1. I do not want to consume calories on something not tasty or satisfying 2. Rice cakes are expensive EWHA Dang is my favorite place for rice cakes. But their hours are so limited and it's pretty far for me so I have to settle on mediocre grocery market mass produced rice cakes sometimes. Their rice cakes are the premium of rice cakes in the Bay Area. If you know any that are better, please let me know. But as of now, this is the creme de la creme of rice cakes. The lady was telling me it's chestnut season and she let me try a sample and it was so good. It was filled with different beans, chestnuts, and nuts. She also told me that they sell fast and to call ahead. She can reserve just even 1 rice cake package for you. Anyway, some of the rice cake is a little steep (some cost $12) but these are worth it. BRING CASH. A lot of it if you love gluttonous food. read more

This was an impulsive food shopping, after eating at the neighboring Kunjip restaurant, we wanted to walk around a bit and saw this tiny shop (in the very same plaza) that specialized in sweet Korean rice cake. Since I don't find these kind of places too often, thought it would be exciting to give them a try and so glad I did. Seriously, one of the best, if not THE BEST Korean rice cakes I've had in town. Took home #11 and it was love at first bite: Soft, chewy rice cake and crunchy peanuts, black sesame in between - texture and flavors are so on point! They cost about $7, decently priced imo, and they packed it in blocks and generously given. Overall, sweet, fresh and addicting treats. Recommended. read more

It was 100 days celebration event for my grandson. My daughter spent a couple of hours to make the stencil to put on the rice cake and had ordered rice cakes () with the size of 3"x3"x2". My daughter called them twice to make sure and they said they will call back with the estimate. There was no call back and the rice cakes came out as 2.5"x2.5" which was useless. I have returned it, but never heard any apology from them, instead they claimed that it was mutual misunderstanding. I don't understand which part we had misunderstood. Btw, when my sister-in-law had visited here from Toronto, she had ordered some rice cakes but when she returned back and open the box, she found that some rice cakes from the previous day were mixed. Well, they said they don't do business that way... I loved the rice cakes from Ewhadang but not any more. They have been changed.. :-( read more

This is my first time trying Korean rice cake and I don't know what to choose. The owner is very polite, welcoming and looks professional. He tried to explain to me what they are made of and I had tasted the pumpkin rice cake before buying. I thought it would be very sweet but to my surprise it isn't, which is very nice! I go for a box of combination as I want to taste more kinds of different rice cakes. Good for breakfast and snacks. read more

This place is open for custom orders on Sundays as well! I picked up my baby's 100th day celebration cake made of baekseolgi on Sunday and it was still warm when I got home! I loved the cake and it tasted exactly like what I expected. I liked the simple but elegant design as well :) The only tip for Koreans who are considering this baekseolgi cake is that non-Koreans do not necessarily like baekseolgi lol. All of my friends who I invited were not Koreans and they were like "what is this..." hahaha. read more

Just the best rice bakery in United States never ever! So delicious and there are many desirable quality ingredients in!!

I can't believe I've never been here! The owner is super nice and speaks English. I called in to see if she was open during Covid and they are! I asked what time she closes and she said 3 but they usually run out around 12. So I just stopped by around 11:00. She also said they're closed Sunday and Monday. Door is open so there's fewer touch points for safety. The rice cake is dense and chewy, not too sweet and very flavorful! I got the strawberry and one of the traditional Korean ones. I'll be back to try the other flavors! read more

Here is so much terrible! I made a reservation 3days ago But they did not prepare appointment time and over 1 hour They just care big event . Owner is very rude read more

Best rice cakes (dduk) in the Bay Area hands down. Sucks that they aren't open on Sundays and Mondays (I think) but other than that, no complaints. I think I've tried every single type they have there and they're all great. My fav is the one with crushed black sesame seed on the outside and the injulmee. read more

Since the meal over at Kunjip wasn't completely filling we walked into this bakery for dessert. Had a pretty good black sesame rice cake for the ride back to the office. The one lady there was very friendly and she offered samples for everything they had. I guess the large Korean community nearby keeps a place like this in business because it seems very specific for what they make. But then so is Kunjip two doors down I guess. read more

Love the selection here. I picked up a few varieties and the rice cake was good. The prices are slightly higher but the quality is good so I think the prices are reasonable. If you are a fan of Korean rice cakes, I would recommend checking this place out. read more

I like their dduk, but they're SO expensive for the amount that you buy. The dduk is definitely fresh, because I think they make it when you pre-order and then some for walk-ins. I remember that they only had 2-3 kinds when I went there to purchase one afternoon. My husband and I loved every morsel, but we only had few pieces. I would recommend getting dduk at supermarkets (Hangook, Super Kyopo, Galleria) if you want dduk at good value. I really want to give this place more stars, but they're just SO expensive compared to the supermarkets that have dduk also locally made (Seoul Bakery down the street). read more

Oh my god I'm crying! Love the quality and taste. Definitely visit again for other rice cakes XD read more

You can get real traditional rice cake here. Same flavor as in Korea. Hope they can open a little bit late.

This is the best place for korean rice cakes in the South Bay. They are fresh, fluffy and just sweet enough! They run out of some things by noon, so go early! owner lady is so nice too! Will be back soon, for more dduk! read more

Maybe I got the wrong idea from other Yelp reviews. I love rice cakes and the pictures on Yelp were looking so good, I was determined to visit the store. It was surprisingly small and set up in a way that doesn't look like a bakery. I was there around 2-3pm, there were only a few items left on a tiny counter, and very pricey. After spending $15 on two small boxes of rice cakes, I was expecting something really good. Noop, one mochi like cake wasn't soft, wasn't chewy, it tasted weird. After a day, it was hard and I didn't know what to do with it. The other box was a bit better, taste like rice cake but nothing special. The owner doesn't speak English at all, I think bone Korean folks like me should stay away from the store :) read more

After my horrific experience at Seoul Rice Cake Bakery, I needed to find another bakery for my daughter's 100th day rice cake. Enter EWHA Dang Rice Bakery. Service was excellent, and the rice cake was moist and delicious! The cake was smaller than the one from Seoul Rice Cake Bakery, but also cheaper. I will definitely be back to order her 1st birthday rice cake. read more
