Jaws Topokki is located in the Haven City Market in West Covina. They are known for the rice cakes but I had a heavy breakfast so I only wanted a small snack. We ordered their Bulgogi Gimbap ($10.49). The food was ready really quickly, but it tasted on the cold side, making me think that it was mass produced in advanced. The cross sections were really organized and they must have a sharp knife cause it was cleanly cut. The taste was pretty good. I would have liked it more with egg. It was a nice balance of sweet, savory, and sour with some pickled vegetables. Nice snack option in the Haven City Market West Covina. I would consider coming back to try the topokki when I have a better appetite. read more

I ordered the Rose Topokki Soup ($15.99). It did not taste like soup. Rather, this dish resembles a Thai curry filled with chewy Tteokbokki/rice cakes. It's an acquired taste. (Important Note: The location only accepts card and contactless payment. No cash.) The Rose Topokki's broth is creamy, starchy, and well-seasoned. Also, the dish is not too spicy; it provides a welcomed kick. However, the dish is comparable to a flavorful large snack instead of a filling meal. There will be a lot of Tteokbokki chewing. I can understand the Rose Topokki's appeal, but this type of snack isn't for me. I arrived on Monday (around 8PM). Thankfully, the parking lot had many open spaces this evening. Jaws Topokki (West Covina) had no wait as its front staff member stood quietly. Staff is welcoming and helpful. After ordering, I was provided an electric pager to signal when my food was ready. My order was completed within eight minutes. Jaws Topokki (West Covina) is located in the Haven City Market. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Both areas are clean. I selected outdoor because the inside felt stuffy. Also, Haven City Market tends to play a lot of American Pop and/or Country Music. Overall, Jaws Topokki (West Covina) is a wonderful choice if you're craving Tteokbokki/rice cakes. This location prepares it well, and it's a flavorful experience. Just be prepared for a lot of chewing if selecting the Rose Topokki Soup. Solid 4.2 out of 5. read more

I feel like Jaws Topokki can easily get overlooked amid all the great options at Haven City West Covina. But DO NOT overlook this spot. They have great casual options. I wouldn't necessarily consider the items on the menu as a "full meal" unless you order from the set menu. I wanted to try a bunch of different things, so I got the "Duo Set" and the Bulgogi Gimbap. I selected the Rose Topokki because it's more mild and it was pretty good! The Deep Fried set that it comes with is fine (nothing too extraordinary). I did really enjoy their gimbap and highly recommend ordering one! Overall, the staff was super nice and patient. Food quality and taste was great. Another great spot at HCWC! read more

I've ordered from Jaws Topokki a bunch of times, mostly for their Rose Topokki - it's creamy, slightly sweet, and so good! The rice cakes have that perfect chewy texture, and it comes with fish cakes, a dumpling, and an egg. I've also had their gimbap, and dipping it in the Rose Topokki sauce just takes it up a notch. The bulgogi rice bowl is tasty too! Service is quick and friendly. Food's always fresh and usually ready in about 15 minutes. read more

Jaws Topokki is located in Haven City Market and offers a solid, if not particularly unique, take on topokki. I ordered the regular mild soup topokki for $13.99, which came in a decent portion size. The dish included half a dumpling (which felt a bit odd), a quail egg, and thin fish cakes. The flavor was good but leaned on the sweeter side and tasted like it had a fair amount of MSG. The rice cakes were longer and thinner than usual, but they had a nice texture. Service was kind but nothing out of the ordinary. They were a bit slow in getting orders out even during non busy times, and after ordering, they provided a buzzer for pickup. There were plenty of tables nearby for seating, making it easy to find a place to sit and eat. Overall, it was a decent experience, but not something I'd go out of my way for. read more

Jaws Topokki offers Korean street food that are easily shareable and doesn't have as long of a wait as other stalls in Haven City Market. We ordered the Duo Set and upgraded to the rose tteokbokki + cheese. Rose Tteokbokki (4/5) - This creamy milder version of tteokbokki was packed with flavor and an assortment of ingredients. I loved the added quail eggs. Fried Set (4/5) - The assortment of fried vegetables and seaweed wrapped noodles were perfect for dipping into the tteokbokki sauce. read more

Very good Topokki, satisfying all my cravings. I got the combo set which was enough to feed 2-3 people. Everything was seasoned incredibly well. The Topokki was mild but I still thought it was on the spicy side (I am very bad with spice, a whole bag of Hot Cheetos takes me a while to finish). The deep fried set was super yummy! The texture was crunchy and not oily. The Bareum had a nice crunch and light flavor. Parking varies depending on the day. Weekends tend to be very busy. read more

One of the first things I tried at the Haven City Food Hall. They specialize in Topokki while offering other Korean main stays like gimbap and bulgogi bowls. Like most of the other places, the counter was bright and clean. You order at the counter and they give you a pager for when your food is ready. Handy if you want to do some quick shopping at the attached GW. I ordered their standard Topokki which came out piping hot with everything spicy and cooked through. I can handle spice just fine but I still waited for things to cool down. I've only had Topokki fresh once and the other times out of a frozen bag, but this wasn't bad. They also had a collab deal with the Monday to Sunday Dessert Cafe next door where you could get a drink at a big discount if you had your Jaws receipt. read more

I decided to give JAWS a try, and it turned out to be quite delicious! I ordered the rose tteokbokki, and it had the perfect balance of spice and flavor. I loved how creamy it was, though I do wish the portion was a bit bigger--there was more sauce than rice cakes. The fried set, however, was amazing! Everything was perfectly deep-fried, and dipping it into the rose tteokbokki sauce was chef's kiss. The prices are fairly reasonable, though I think the best value comes from ordering the set menus. The food came out quickly, and the service was great overall. read more

I was excited that one of these open nearby so now I don't have to go to the Buena Park location. I'll be honest it is a BIT pricy, but the portions are large and quite shareable. There are also lots of combos that will allow you to try a bit of everything. Their food is made and fried fresh, so it comes out piping hot once your buzzer calls you over to pick up your meal. We got the: 1) Duo Set: -Says its shareable for 2, but I think it's a much larger portion than that. -Comes with a topokki and fried set. -I paid an extra dollar to upgrade my standard topokki into their creamier, slightly less spicy rose flavor. Very tasty and the topokki actually comes with a good amount of rice cakes, some crunchy bits, kimchi, fishcake, etc. -Fried set includes pumpkin, squid, sweet potato, seaweed roll, and dumpling (if I recall correctly). -The fried stuff came out freshly fried, so it takes some time for it to cool down. Comes with a tiny side of tempura dipping sauce, but honestly, just dipped it into my rose topokki instead for a nice creamy kick. 2) Tuna Gimbap: -Tuna mayo, sesame leaf, and pickled daikon. -Comes with a whopping 10 pieces, with the end pieces being slightly more decorative. -They're not that flavorful on their own, unfortunately, could have used slightly more mayo in the tuna salad and sesame taste, but nothing dipping it in some sauce won't fix. Definitely dip your gimbap into the sauce for the rice cakes, gives it a nice kick of flavor. Even with sharing this with 2 other people I had a lot left over to take home to share with my family as leftovers too. Overall not bad if you're craving Korean snack foods. read more

Jaws Topokki is located at Haven City West Covina. They've got some solid casual Korean dishes. I ordered the Duo Set and added the Bulgogi Gimbap. I went with the Rose Topokki. The have different spice levels you can try. I would recommend mild if you are not a spice person. The gimbap was flavorful and fresh--I'd absolutely recommend. The staff were really kind and patient, and the food quality was great. Everything was made fresh, and I waited around 15 minutes for my order. Parking can be a bit tight when it's busy, but overall, it was a great experience. read more

The food was pretty good and the price was pretty reasonable for the portion that we got I think. Ok price for the portion. Food was good and as expected nothing wrong with it. It did take about 15 minutes to make, and the menu does notify you of that. What I expected from rose tteokbeoki. There were also some chewy strands that I was unfamiliar with, but they tasted chewy and crispy. Make sure you ring the bell if no one is at the cash register. TLDR - just rice cakes, okay as expected, enjoyed the chewy crispy strand read more

Jaws Topokki was stop #3 out of 5 on my 3rd visit to Haven City Market in West Covina. I was curious what type of foods they sell. Well, they primarily sell Korean topokki bowls plus gimbap and other misc food items. Restaurant front is bright. Counter space is plenty. I asked the nice lady behind the counter what she would recommend. She was kind to offer her favorites. Rose Topokki Soup and Bareun Gimbap were the items I got. So glad I did! They were both super delicious and yummy. Thank you Miss! Love the rich and smooth plus sweet and savory soup! The topokki (rice cake) was very soft and tender. I couldn't stop eating them. Yum, yum! The pork belly and fish cake were very tasty. The whole bowl was just divine! I would get this bowl every time and I have so far LOL. As for the gimbap, super good! At the time, I didn't know about the potential dipping sauces that would make them even tastier. Now I know after another nice staff lady offered me a couple complimentary sauces... YES, get the spicy mayo, sriracha mayo, and wasabi mayo sauces to compliment the gimbap! Thank you Miss!! I will be getting these sauces in my future purchases for sure. I have been here twice now and both ordering experiences have been fantastic. Keep doing what you're doing Jaws! Thank you for sharing your delicious foods with us. I'll be back for more yummy soups and gimbap! read more

They don't even have a phone available to place orders. When we come in person, we're forced to wait at least 20 minutes because the staff is on break. This is extremely inconvenient and frustrating. On top of that, the prices are higher when ordering online compared to ordering in the store, which makes no sense and feels unfair to customers. read more

The duo set is shareable, and it came with fried stuff such as squid, sweet potato, etc., and I upgraded the topokki with cheese for them. The rice cakes were soft, and they were a bit spicy. The price was not cheap ($24.49+tax=$26.39), but the portions were big.

Jaws Tapokki was delicious! A mix of savory, bit creamy and a little sweet. The rice cake pieces were perfect, chewy but not gummy, you don't need to chew excessively. It took around 45 minutes for one order but I was willing to wait. Definitely a good option for a cold night. It has pieces of fish cake, a quail egg, and a piece of pan fried gyoza. For $13.99, I think it's a great deal. Lots of flavor, huge portion. I do not recommend reheating it. read more

East LA has been blessed yet again with another fire Korean street food spot. Jaws Topokki hails from Orange County and has finally made its way to the newest food hall Haven City in West Covina. I'm telling y'all, this is the place to BE. I love how the portions are a little smaller and priced affordably too so you can order more things to try. Some of my favorites include the deep fried set, and you have to get their gimbap, we got the bulgogi and spam & egg ones. I mean, just the packaging of these aloneee. For the topokki, I recommend the rose one. The sauce on this is like crack, literally SO addicting. Check out Jaws and let me know what you think! Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

Rose Toppoki at JAWS Back at @havencitymarket_wc because my local @jawstopokki in OC hasn't been hitting the mark lately. The new West Covina Jaws Toppoki location, though? Flavors are on point with way more umami. Their topokki is loaded with all my favorite toppings: bacon, cabbage, two kinds of fish cake, a small egg, cheese, and leeks--so good! Surprisingly, their bulgogi bowls are next-level fancy, packed with veggies like Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, broccoli, onions, and bell peppers. And the gimbap? Loaded with classics like Spam & Eggs, Bulgogi, Tuna, Spicy Pork, and more. Yes, Haven City Market has 20+ food stalls but JAWS Topokki should be one of your must visits along with all the other yummy choices.

This location is inside the Haven marketplace. Ordered the fish cake soup and Korean sausage. The girl who helped us was nice and the food came out within 10-15 min (came on a weekday). The fish cake soup had a great flavor and portion was pretty big - only thing is it came out ridiculously hot (almost like it was microwaved forever). The sausage has a nice chewy and bouncy texture. Not a huge fan of their fried tempura stuff (didn't get it this time). Overall, good place to eat Korean street food when you're craving it. read more

This review is for the gimbap only. We had both the bulgogi and the pork cutlet gimbap and unfortunately didn't really feel like it was moist enough. The bulgogi was especially dry without any sauce, while the pork cutlet was a little better with sauce but not by much. We skipped on paying the extra $0.50 for dipping sauces, not realizing how dry these would be without the sauce. I almost wished they just baked the sauce pricing into the gimbap and offered sauce choices for free, but then again, I'm not used to needing extra "sauce" to go with my gimbap. Other places I've been to balance enough oil/moistness in the gimbap so extra sauce isn't necessary. Not impressed enough with this place. read more

This is my go-to spot every time I'm here! No, literally. I always recognize the sweet employee working there, shoutout to her! Service is always kind! Anyways, their gimbap is to DIE for, the tuna being my fav. The combinations of the veggies with the protein is soooo good and I'm NOT a veggie person, lol! I've also gotten their topokki, and ugh! I'm a person who loves spicy-sweet and chewy foods so this just was amazing! The only downside of this place is it takes a bit of time until you get your order, I'd say about 15+ mins. Not a problem for me as I'm never in a rush but that's something to look out for if you are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

I've now been 4 times -- each time the service is friendly, and while there's a wait, it's true for all the eateries in Haven City and good food is worth the wait. I come for the kimbap for its freshness, like, I dream about it and every time I finish eating it I'm thinking when I can be back next. The topokki is delicious and I've shamefully eaten an entire bowl by myself even though it's probably not meant for one person. Yelpers: before there was Yelp and we had a problem with food quality or something was off with our order, we would go and tell the business so they can do something about it. Now, if they ignore you or are rude about your request or complaint, THEN we might spread the word to avoid the business. But I swear some of you just live to complain - your taste buds aren't that precious. Speak up if you're so unhappy. /end rant Anyway... y'all are great!

We usually get it from the Pasadena location though. - aqua fresca and vitacane juice bars are also very refreshing! - Filipino owned bake shop is also delicious, usually buy to take home as a sweet treat later. - Beignets: cooked hot to order...oh the powdery goodness!! - Georgies Mediterranean: Fastest service as I have never been to a fast Mediterranean spot.

There is even a page that posts about all the closed malls. It's on FB if you want to look for it. It's sad really, if you think about it. Where will you go when there are no more malls to go hang out on a Saturday afternoon? Or when you have teens full of energy that just need a safe and non threatening environment? Where will you go if you just want to get out of the house for a couple hours and maybe get a snack or meet a friend after work ? Bars are not the only places to hang out. Although, those are quietly disappearing too. If you'd like to keep this mall, social space, and have a place to hang out like we did before 2020 told you to stay home and pushed online, ama zon shopping on you. It was planned. Go see how much ama zon is worth now. I digress. The mall is a community center for gathering. Of course there are parks, but what about when it rains or it's too hot outside ? Come on we live in the valley. The summer can be very hot and we need to geo somewhere to cool down. Right ? The mall needs more visitors to stay alive. Stop buying online: Plus, by coming in person you support jobs. Jobs are scarce these days. Very scarce. I know several people looking for jobs. Let's not give them excuses to close down.

Flavor Belly

Im not one to write reviews all too often, but knew I had to write one for Flavor Belly. I wanted…read moresomething comforting, filling, but not too heavy and this was it. For a chicken and rice plate, I really wasn't expecting much, but I was def in for a pleasant surprise. I got the Seattle Style skin-on chicken combo and the crisp made this plate stand out from the rest. The skin was crispy, but not oily, and the meat itself was tender and juicy. You get two sauces with the combo, but the owner was kind enough to give me one of each to try. Habanero sriracha had to be my fave because I always need a lil spice with my food and this sauce had the kick I was looking for. Garlic aioli- classic, can never be beat, it packs a punch without being too overwhelming. Teriyaki- ol' reliable, its bright, refreshing, switches the palette up. Asian chimichurri- must try, def a flavor you won't find anywhere else. I forgot what the light green one was called, but doesn't matter because I remember it was bomb too. As for the sides, I thought the mac salad was made perfectly. Not your broken mush of noodles, but al dente. The salad was the perfect last piece to balance out the whole meal, not to mention the dressing that was also sweet and bright. Last, but not least, portion size was generous for the pricing. Overall, Flavor Belly was memorable for the details they put into reinventing the classic chicken and rice type plate.

THE SAUCES: Every sauce elevated everything to the next level. My personal favorites were the Asian Chimichurri, Garlic Aioli, and Hot Habanero. A huge thank you to Johnny for making my first experience here so memorable! His service was spectacular, and it was very cool getting to talk to him in person after all these years of watching his content. Hope we get a Flavor Belly in the Bay Area someday!

Which is fine if you're looking for ramen, but if you're looking for traditional Taiwanese beef noodle soup, this isn't it. We also got a beef roll -- way too saucy, and the wrap was deep fried so it's much greasier than a typical Taiwanese restaurant. That may be to some people's liking, but not mine. This place isn't exactly close to us. I supposed if you live within 10 minutes, it might be a decent place to go every few months. But definitely not if you're beyond that radius b/c, unless you live north of here, there are likely to be a lot more/better options around you.

The front reception area was chaos with large parties waiting to be seated and scattered smaller groups of 3 or 4. I bypassed all that to get to the front and instead of a person is a tablet. All the human workers were scrambling around which told me they were "behind". I asked a worker about my phone order and she told me five minutes and took my payment. 35 minutes later I'm still waiting among the crowd who are also waiting to be seated. Workers are scrambling around like they just got trained that day. Confused looks and panic ruled the evening. Workers continued to jog past me to handing out drinks and trays of items and never checking back in with the small crowd. Confusion over clarity remained the theme as large parties asked why they haven't been seated yet. Small parties asked when they would be seated and I waited for (1) roll. A purely bad experience from start to finish from a place I've enjoyed in the past. The moral of the story is to expect the unexpected. Even though I've had pleasant experiences in the past here, I have to report the details of this visit based on its own merits and not prior visits. I ended up with my roll and it seemed like it was sitting back there somewhere ignored, like the groups waiting to be seated. It seemed not so fresh and like it was made 25 minutes earlier.

The Wagyu Sunshine was a nice contrast because the mango salsa added a refreshing citrusy brightness that helped balance the richness. We also ordered the Ginza sushi platter, which was beautifully presented with each nigiri coming on its own plate. The fish tasted fresh and buttery and made for a fun presentation. The chicken katsu was another solid dish -- crispy on the outside while still juicy inside.

I got the Braised Beef Noodle Soup with Wide Flat Noodle and in Medium Spicy. Everything was exactly to my tastes. Fantastic hand pulled noodles with great texture, delicious soup and their chili is actually spicy, numbing and very flavorful. They are heavy handed with the spice, I'd say their medium is a typical extra spicy. I typically order extra spicy elsewhere but was trying to cut down on the oil a bit so got medium here and was pleasantly surprised that the level of spice was just right for me.

What I liked, soup base clear, had hints of Sand Ginger, Umami Bone Broth, hints of cinnamon, heavy parsley/ cilantro, fennel, star anise, black cardamom, white peppercorns, mmmm, I can taste the broth even now, 2 days after that meal, very distinct, and when paired with their in-house chilli oil, not the one on the table, the actual spicy one they exclusively keep inside the kitchen, you can taste the additional layers to the chilli oil and it just brings the entire LanZhou Noodles to a whole another level. The lamb Rou Jia Mou was really filling. I liked the quantity, not overtly big, not too greasy, and had just the right amount of protein to keep the dish an appetizer, as you await the main course. Pickedled Sweet Kimchi Cabbage was also very enjoyable, although I prefer the in house ones made at Yumi Time in City of Industry better crispiness to the bite in their version and more balanced taste. A solid four, because I'm biased. Having worked with two extremely talented masters in Phoenix Arizona, I've tasted what could be the best LanZhou Noodles and Best Xiao Long Bao any seasoned restaurant staff could ask for. My former colleague Hand Pulled Noodle Master chef Shuai used to head the reknown LanZhou Noodles place in Gaithersburg Maryland serving up all those Ambassadors, Lobbyists, DC Politicians, and when we were in Phoenix Arizona, along with Pastry / Flour Dim Sum Master Chef Sister Ying, we concocted probably the best Xiao Long Bao / Rou Jia Mou and LanZhou Hand Pulled Noodles to ever grace the lands of Arizona and in my opinion, was far superior than any other place in Los Angeles. But again that's just me. I'm biased and I've been blessed to sit down, and have worked with some of the best small kitchen crews and experience great staff meals. And this leads to me to my conclusion: Yes, I'm putting this restaurant officially on my #2 for Chinese Noodle Soups in LA. This place will from now on be in my casual rotation. A no frills, real, down to Earth Noodle Shop. Why I like it? Just the overall setting doesn't try too much. On the surface it looks really plain, boring, not much to expect. But once you try it, it just suddenly makes sense, this can be your go-to Pho shop but for LanZhou Noodles and certain types of Cumin Lamb Chow Mein. #1 Corner Beef Noodle House in El Monte #2 Lan Noodle in West Covina
