    Cute casual restaurant, order at the front and they bring the food to your table. Me and my bf got the duo combo, it was more than enough for the both of us! I really liked the soup and fish cake skewer it comes with, I thought the broth balanced the flavor of the topokki well. Rice cakes have perfect texture, and the fried sides were so good!

    I love stopping here for rose toppoki when I make the trip to Duluth. The restaurant is casual and very clean. They have many options like kimbap, kimchi fried rice, and more! I have always enjoyed everything I order especially the kimchi fried rice and rose toppoki.

    As good it gets in this town in terms of Topokki. All of their street food items I've tried were good. The lunch box has soondae, tempura, and kimbap alongside the topokki, great deal and you get an assortment of food so your search for different texture never gets old. The topokki ties it all together since you can dip any item in the sauce and it works! Great place to stop by for a quick bite, or take some items to go!

    Great spot if you're craving Korean street food, particularly duk bokki ("topokki"), which is rice cake in a spicy red sauce. I ended up getting a combo set - but after reading the reviews, looks like I should've gotten the "Rose Topokki" - next time for sure! The lady at the front was very nice. ALONE SET - $15.99 Not a fan of the combo name, lol - but fitting since I came by myself. The combo included topokki (dduk and fish cake), skewer of fish cake w/ broth (tasty broth!), 2 fried sweet potato, 2 fried squid, 2 fried seaweed roll w/ japchae filling, and 2 fried mandu w/ japchae filling, The fried foods were very crunchy. If you want to try a little of this & that - this is a good one to get. FYI they're located next to Scissorhands hair salon.

    The rosé topokki... You MUST get the rosé version when you're here. It's seriously sooo good. My friend was eating this like crack. And it goes well as a dipping sauce too! Plus, it's apparently the thing in Korea. The other items we shared were also tasty like the ramen with all its flavors. The kimbap, fish cake skewers, and rice bowl were of typical quality. The basket of fried pieces of squid, seaweed rolls, shrimp, and other things had a good variety to try. Although this place looks casual, they try to make it fancy by bringing the food to you and clearing the tables. Around dinner time, this little spot can get filled. Kukga Topokki is a solid spot for Korean sweet food. And of course a great place for rosé topokki. Korean food to me could be just okay at times. Some restaurants are even undistinguishable from another. Kukga Topokki does it well somehow, perhaps offering the rosé topokki. Seriously, at this point if you're tired of me mentioning it. It being rosé. Get it. It's good.

    Favorite for rose tteokbokki!! So delicious and creamy. I got the set for two people which comes with Kimbap, some tempura, and 2 fish cake soups. A little pricey but it's not bad for everything you get and flavors. Lots of parking space and nice and clean inside. Service was nice and straightforward. They were helpful and brought me my food quickly. I'd come here easily again

    I haven't found a better rosé topokki yet. It's buttery, cheesy, smooth, and creamy. If you dip a homeless man's finger in it, I will still probably lick it off. I've had dreams about that sauce from time to time. The other stuff was decent quality too. I can't remember much of it honestly. The kimbap, fish cake skewers, and rice bowl were good but the topokki kills. I like the casual look of this place too. Would I come here again? Yes, just for that topokki. It's worth the drive.

    I am pleased to write a review for this restaurant. The owner is very kind that makes customers happy before eating. She wanted us to avoid paying the tip. However, you need to get your water, spoon, and chopsticks yourself. Of course, you should also clean up after yourself. All food is served in disposable bowls/dishes. The price was reasonable and tasty. Also, the owner gave us, as the first guest, mixed fries for free. Ramen is like a Budae-jjigae (Korean: 부대찌개; lit. army base stew). If you don't like spam or ham, ask the owner if you don't want them in your Ramen. Fish Cake Skewer soup was delicious. I recommend this restaurant if you're looking for Korean-style street foods in Atlanta.

    Really enjoyed my meal here! The prices are solid and the food is good! I loved the rose tteokbokki from here,the sauce was on the thicker side and mild in spice. The kimbap met my expectations and did not disappoint. I would definitely come back here and recommend to anyone crazing some Korean street food!

    Cute casual spot to grab korean streetfood with friends. We got the you and me combo and could barely finish. Pretty decent and would return

    I order the for 2 meal

    A coworker of mine is who introduce me to this place, I am so glad she did. I order the for 2 meal set. It was more then enough. The meal included a 10 kimbap pieces, Tteokbokki, Assorted fried items, 2 fish cake soup. Tteokbokki was amazing, not to spicy, it was just perfect !!! all the food item complemented each other so well. this is a great place for date night or even a family dinner. service is pretty much self serve. That is the best.

    Came here Monday night to try this place out since it just opened up and heard it was a chain in Korea. FOOD: Original Topokki + boiled egg ($9.99 + $1) - Their topokki is the soupy kind where the sauce is more watery, rather than thick. The taste was flavorful, a little bit sweet with a spicy kick at the end, but felt under seasoned since we ate it with chopsticks. I would suggest eating it with a spoon so you get the rice cake with the sauce. There are 2 flavors, original and spicy. I've been told the original is spicy and the spicy one is VERY spicy. They ask if you want to add a boiled egg to the topokki. We decided to add it but didn't realize it was an extra $1 for each one. Small Mixed fries ($7.99) - It's basically a small sample platter of all the fried foods. It includes 1 fried shrimp, 1 fried sweet potato, 1 fried squid, 1 fried mandu (dumpling), and 1 fried seaweed roll (glass noodles wrapped in seaweed and fried) already cut up. I highly recommend dipping it in the sauce to balance out the oily taste of the fried foods. SERVICE: You order in the front and then find a seat. They serve to your table when the food comes out, but cups, plates, sauces, and napkins are all self-serve. From what we overheard, it seems like they are planning on keeping their limited menu while they get adjusted and will expand it as they get settled in. Overall, I recommend trying it out if you like the soupy kind of topokki or you want spicy topokki.

    Absolutely the best tteoppoki I've ever had in my life! The texture is the perfect amount of chewy and bouncy. The rice cakes hold on to the sauce super well too. I love the rose flavor, it's just the right balance of creamy and spicy, which is great for me since I can't really handle spicy foods. I also like how you can order sets to share with others. I like to add noodles to my tteoppoki and customize the sets with upgrades for different types of kimbap as well. It's a small shop, but I love the homey and cozy atmosphere. The owners are super kind, welcoming, and inviting. Would definitely recommend this to everyone!!!

I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

And wow, from K-Mom's service herself (and I think maybe her husband?) to the food taste AND presentation, this place is now on the repeat visit circuit. First let me rave about the banchan selection - not only is there 10 different banchan, they are quality banchan (see pics) ... my favorites were the anchovies w/ peanuts, spicy raw squid, radish kimchi, and shiitake mushrooms. The menu selection is your usual traditional Korean dishes and the prices may seem high but competitive w/ other Korean restos - and very worth it when you think about all the tasty banchan accompanying your meal. JE YOOK BOKUM - $17.99 Spicy stir-fried pork. Pretty good. Also came w/ a big bowl of seaweed soup (nice surprise and delicious) AND purple rice ... I love purple rice! YOOK GAE JANG - $15.99 My friend said it was very good! I only tasted the soup part and it was good! Overall, highly recommend - their food is a great example of 손맛 (sonmat). I'll be back for sure!

My partner and I came in around roughly 9:50-10pm. When we arrived we're were initially informed that we had to order soon because they were closing in 30 minutes and were understandings of that. Shortly after we were seated, (literally 1-2 minutes) about 3 employees came to our table letting us know we needed to order within the next few minutes. It was like 10:05. I tried asking one of the employee what the meat options were and was just interrupted by him being persistent in us ordering and did not really answer our questions, mainly because I noticed some of the meat options were pork and I do not consume pork for personal reasons. My partner and I felt overwhelmed and just ordered something we thought would not include pork. After submitting our order another employee came by with the check already without us asking insisting for us to pay before our food even came out. Mind you the restaurant closed within 20 minutes at this point. When our food did come out, it did contain PORK!!! We just left shortly afterwards and left the food on the table.

    우리는 배가 터질 듯이 불러올 때까지 여기서 먹었다. 삼겹살 진짜맛있어. 돼지고기 냄새 없어. 10점 만점 10점!!…read more I came here with a group of eight people, and we all ordered the brisket, pork belly, and the large intestine. I was absolutely obsessed with the smell of this restaurant before I even went in! I appreciated them, giving us two grills, and the staff actually cook the meat for you. I wish I was sitting more towards the left grill because whoever cooked the pork belly on that side made sure the flame was hot enough and it cooked the pork thoroughly while also making it crispy on the outside. In front of me, the griller did not make the heat high enough so it took a while for the pork to be fully cooked. She told us it was done and it was still kind of chewy so I kept swapping back-and-forth from the left grill onto this one. That's the only reason why I gave it a four instead of a five out of five was because I did not like the way they cooked part of our pork. It was so chewy the fat was not cooked at all, but it was an easy fix. I just had to cook it longer on the other grill but again we shared two grills between eight people so 1/2 of our group got to eat more than us. I like how the pork doesn't have a really strong, pork smell, and it tasted very good like it was seasoned properly. I absolutely love the kimchi! I love how this restaurant stays open pretty late so we can enjoy eating and drinking. It's such a nice casual place to hang out. For dessert, we had kimchi fried rice haha. It was such a great night!
