    Rose Topokki...So rich and creamy!
    Melinda L.

    SHEESH! This place was surprisingly so good! I literally came in here from a long day of shopping and my thing was to just get something to satiate my hunger. After finding Jaws Topokki and its menu, I went ahead and gave it a try. I parked right up front with its somewhat tight parking, though there's a good amount of spaces there. I walked up to the counter, stared at the menu for a minute, and asked about their half-size Topokki. I wasn't sure if I was going to finish a big bowl. The half-size was the perfect size. I got the Rose Topokki and it was truly one of the best soups I've had. It has a tomato bisque kind of texture and flavor, with that creamy richness to it. I was pretty full even before finishing it, but I did it. Haha. They have a large menu of different Topokki, bimbap,, and also a, "make your own" ramen station. I'm not sure if I'd go for that one, but I'd like to come back to try their bimbap. I'm confident it will be also good. Definitely worth visiting!

    One of the best spicy rice cakes I've tasted. I got the mild spice--Original Tteokbokki and it's a little less spicy than hot cheetos! I've tried their newest menu, sotteok sotteok and I loved the small bite sized rice cakes, perfect ratio with the big sausages! Kimbab was so amazing! I got tuna and spicy pork and personally I loved spicy pork! So flavorful and tastes like kbbq ssam! Service was so amazing as well. The employee and the owner were so kind. It's Christian owned so I loved supporting this business. It's also very well decorated, snug, and very clean! Would definitely come back here :)

    We ordered the Jaws Combo, which comes with Jaws Topokki Soup. We upgraded to the Rose Topokki with its spicy, creamy sauce and added ramen for extra noodles! The combo also comes with Jaws Fried Chicken, seaweed rolls, and dumplings, so there's a little bit of everything to try. We also added the Cheese Balls, featuring stretchy, gooey sweet mozzarella. definitely a must for cheese lovers! For gimbap, we tried the Tofu Gimbap, which is a great vegetarian option, and the Bulgogi Gimbap, which was savory and flavorful. For drinks, we got the Jaws Strawberry Slushy and Sikhye Slushy, a refreshing traditional Korean rice beverage. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and everything made for a fun and delicious Korean street food experience. Great variety, tasty food, and something for everyone!

    This was my first time visiting and I enjoyed trying different Korean street food favorites. We ordered the JAWS Combo, which was perfect for sharing and came with tteokbokki (spelled "topokki" on their sign & menu), fried chicken, seaweed rolls, and dumplings. You can choose your spice level and add optional toppings like ramen and cheese for an additional charge. We also tried the sausage and rice cake skewers, spicy pork rice bowl, and beef rib gimbap. There's a nice variety on the menu, especially if you're dining with friends and want to order several things to share. They also have an instant ramen station where you can choose your noodles and make them yourself. Since we added ramen to our rice cakes, we didn't try the ramen station this time. Overall, a great casual spot for Korean street food with plenty of options to choose from. The restaurant was very clean, and the service was great!

    Rose Topokki Soup (로제 떡볶이)
    Hieu H.

    Tried the Rose Tteokbokki Soup at Jaws Topokki in Chino Hills and it definitely hit the spot. The sauce was creamy with just the right amount of spice--not too heavy or overly cheesy. The rice cakes were perfectly chewy, and the soup came loaded with fish cake, ramen, cabbage, sausage, and other toppings, so it was very filling. I also ordered the cheese balls on the side, and they were crispy outside with a warm, gooey center. Portions are generous, so one bowl is enough to share or makes a very satisfying meal. The restaurant was clean, service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. If you're craving Korean comfort food, I'd definitely recommend giving the Rose Tteokbokki a try. I'd order it again.

    The service was super great here. There are not many customers but the workers there are all super friendly and ready to help. The food is pretty good. They have a ramen station and machine that is just like in convenience stores in Asia for those interested in that experience!

    Jaws slushy and sikhye slushy
    Jason S.

    We went for dinner the other night. There is a lot of parking available. The restaurant is small but plenty of seating inside. We started off with a Jaws slushy which was a tasty blend of strawberry and blue raspberry. We also got the sikhye slush. Sikhye is already my favorite but to have it in slush form is so much better. We got a beef rib gimbap. A good size gimbap that was fresh and flavorful. We also got a beef bulgolgi rice bowl. A huge portion of tasty of beef bulgolgi, rice and grilled vegetables. And then we got a Jaws combo with Jajang tipokki soup, fried chicken, seaweed rolls and dumplings. Another huge portion of food. The jajang soup is so tasty and we kept dipping all of the deep fried food into it. The topokki itself was soft and chewy, just perfect. Great service and large portions of food will have you coming back for more.

    Jaws combo
    April L.

    One of the better jaws topokki imo. We got the jaws combo. I thought it was a great deal for the price. It comes with fried dumplings, fried seaweed thing, fried chicken and topokki ( we upgraded ours to rose topokki). The flavors of the food was decent. Not bad. I honestly thought the fried things could be crispier. Also i thought it'd be nice if the combo came with a choice of dipping sauce. Lastly, getting a table right away might be difficult sometimes. The tables are very limited. Overall, not bad. Come and try them.

    Rose tteokbokki + spicy pork kimbap + fried shrimp kimbap (SOLID - would recommend all of them)
    Lina T.

    I'm gonna start off by saying the fried shrimp is an absolute must! The crunch, the flavor, the proportion, everything was just great. The bulgogi was nicely seasoned, not too sweet and well-balanced. The spicy pork had a slight kick but nothing too crazy. Good flavors! The beef rib is actually one I didn't like. I thought it was a bit bland and really needed some kind of sauce to go with it. I would suggest the wasabi one. Even then, not a favorite. The rose tteokbokki was nice! Normally it's pretty heavy at places I've had it. This one the cream is lighter and personally I love that more. Although, it doesn't stick on the rice cake as much as thicker sauces, I do prefer it more. They give bacon slices and even a quail egg in there. I love that they have a half portion size (normally a full is way too much for me), so I appreciate it. The service was also very nice! All of the workers were very kind and it was such a homey setting. I would highly recommend you come support this small business. They also have a catering party tray, which I, of course, ordered after doing a trial run of their food. Can't wait to get my kimbap fix from here in the future!

    Fried Chicken
    Elihu P.

    TLDR - Food is okay, service is okay, vibes are homey. Get the chicken! I would start off by saying that the interior is really clean and it's a good place for you to sit down and have a meal with friends or family. But in terms of service, when you enter, you're met with a kiosk so there isn't really any human interaction - just you and a screen. For some people that might be a plus, for me it was a minus. The important stuff - the food. TBH the food is pretty average in terms of korean food. HOWEVER, their chicken is arguably some of the best tenders I've had lol. It's just seasoned so well and has a good kick to it. I'd recommend the chicken. The TPK is standard and okay but by no means is it bad. I would say it's better than it is bad. The kimbap is average- nothing crazy, and I'd say the same for the soondae. Overall, I'd say that across the board, I had a good experience but mainly because the experience wasn't bad LOL

    I recently visited Jaws Topokki and it honestly felt like I was back in Korea. This place has some of the best Korean street food I've had in the U.S. The Tokbokki was perfectly chewy with a rich, flavorful sauce, and everything tasted so authentic. I also tried the kimbap, dumplings, and fried seaweed rolls (kim-mari), and they were all delicious Especially when dipped in the Tokbokki sauce, just like how it's done in Korea! The variety of classic street food really gave me that nostalgic, "walking through a Korean street market" vibe. :) On top of that, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you're craving real Korean street food, this spot is definitely worth visiting!

    We needed something different other than our regular rice and protein meals.. so we decided to come to Jaws. To be honest it was the name that lured me in, but I am definitely glad I came and tried this place. I mean who doesn't love topokki, right? Coming in, we saw that they have a similar sign to the nostalgic JAWS movie which was interesting. How it relates to the food, not too sure. But it was just cool I guess to see something relatable. The interior is nice, spacious and clean. Not so big though that you can bring a large party. You can choose from the menu, or they have a make your own ramen station like in Japan (how cool!). The person helping us at the counter was very nice. Very patient and kind helping us choose what to get for our first time and what all the different options were. We opted for the Duo Set Mala Rose Toppoki. It came with the deep fried set (seaweed roll, shrimp, sweet potato, squid and dumpling). The sauce of the soup was creamy, rich and cheesy. Good first choice in my opinion. The topokki was delicious mixed in the sauce, but I personally would've maybe liked to have it without sauce just to snack on too. Then dip in the sauce so it still has the crunchy texture. Next time I'll ask for it on the side. If you're looking to try something new or you love topokki as much as I do, then this place should definitely be on your list! Can't wait to try a different flavor next time I stop by.

And another bad experience that hinged on the trauma from the first time where after 5 minutes of sitting there with the receipt, I called over one of the workers to make sure I paid like I didn't just watch him slide my card into the kiosk and print out a receipt.

I asked about the policy on the tablet that indicated you get charged $5 for leftover meat. I mistakenly thought we could take it home because of that and asked the employee about it, citing the tablet. He ignored my question and just said sorry, we couldn't take the leftovers. All he had to say was that the tablet policy indicates you pay for it, but can't take it home. Blatantly ignoring me and turning to my aunt to finish closing out the check and just saying "sorry" didn't answer my question! Ambiance: Furniture is nice and modern, but the AC wasn't working (or no AC at all in general, just fans?) in triple degree heat on 8/23/26 at 4:15pm. Add that on top of cooking meat on grills directly in front of you, and it's practically a sauna. If you have a restaurant like this in Southern California you should prioritize AC!
