On the afternoon of Saturday, April 4th, I bought a mochi gift set from Siroodang, a rice cake shop in Koreatown Plaza. Since a set of six mochi costs $24, it works out to about $4 each, which is a bit pricey. However, they are filled with peanuts and are absolutely delicious--they're My Mom's & My favorite snack. I heard they used to be $2.50 each, but the price has since gone up to $4. Even so, the staff there is very friendly, and the rice cakes are always so tasty that I find myself buying more whenever we run out. read more

My mom picked up beautiful rice cakes from this gorgeous bakery. She said the staff were so helpful and charming and lovely! (I read the reviews before I sent her.) It seems like a very traditional Korean treat. I acknowledge that it's a little expensive, but it is SO WORTH IT. The treats are both beautiful and delicious. Important Note: These treats MUST be eaten THE SAME DAY AS PURCHASED. We put some in the freezer, and they are still tasty but not as wonderfully soft and delicate and chewy! read more

We wanted to try Siroodang's specialty rice cake. We were taking a chance since we don't have these in the Bay Area. They are individually wrapped with the character that means good fortune or prosperity. We didn't get to taste them till we returned home. They were quite good. Thin rice cake covering red bean paste with walnuts inside. It wasn't too sweet so it's more to our taste. We also bought the mugwort rolls. These are usually bland. You might want to dip it in honey to eat. Good variety to choose from. Will come back next time. read more

This is a tiny little store in Koreatown Plaza with a very simple front window (compared to all the neighboring stores with flashy K-pop merch or promotion signs in the window), but I got really curious and as I got closer, I could tell that something delicious was going on inside. I just wanted a simple treat, so I went with a pink with a white heart rice cake. Then to meet my ccard minimum, I picked up a bag of super light fluffy puffed rice cakes. So glad! I had been trying to find something like these since I had them at an event, but these were much better quality! I wanted to try many other things, but I was limited in the space that I had since that was just the beginning of what was going to be a long busy day. But I will be back for sure! These would be a great gift or a great way to celebrate special occasions! read more

Siroodang consistently has good quality, great taste sweets and desserts that embody the true Korean culture. Their red bean is homemade, and plus they have sesame oil and perilla oil that are hand pressed. Their mochi is a must try and is extremely tasty and chewy. The only downside and the reason why I gave 4 stars is the price--they are quite expensive. Mochi cost $4 each as well and there are no rewards program nor discounts. Otherwise, overall was a great experience read more

Siroodang is my GO-TO spot in Ktown Plaza for rice cakes - the small ones are great sizes to enjoy as a snack. The pumpkin, mugwort, blueberry and strawberry flavored square rice cakes are all so delicious and not too sweet. I love the soft injeolmi one stuffed with red beans and walnuts. *they only accept cash for under $10 read more

Got yakshig ($7.50). It contains, " sweet rice, jujube, chestnut, pine nut, peas." This is sweet, but not extremely so. I liked it, but may sister didn't. Service is good. They sells powders, some for drinking & some for face masks too. read more

The store won't let you touch anything. Somewhat okay considering disease and infection control. Their prices are higher than the normal, but food and snack presentation is much better than most places. Pretty much paying for the cuteness factor. I used this store to place an order for 6 pieces of rice cake box for my mom's funeral service. It came out to about $25 per box. The rice cakes were delicious. The way they packaged everything exceeded my standards. read more

I love this place for Mochi! It's amazing I tried other rice cakes and snacks as well not too sweet! The worker is kind even though we are a big group today:) the shop is pretty small but has many options. I went back after finishing my first Mochi to buy more!!!right away!! read more

The rice cakes are so chewy and tasty. I like that they have individually wrapped dduk so you don't have to buy a whole pack. The square ones with a heart design taste the best. It's a drier texture but the chewiness is very good. It also seems a little healthier without any oiliness. read more

Best rice cakes in Los Angeles. Every time I'm in town, I make a huge pre-order for their dduks or some variation of rice cakes. Everything made fresh and with high quality ingredients. Favorite thing to order is the chocolate dduk. But you'll need to call and pre-order a week in advanced and order 6. My family buys in bulk and freezes them all if we don't finish within a day. And you simply steam them when you're ready. Dropped a star because the young lady in the front of the store isn't so friendly or helpful. She looks like she doesn't want to be there. And very curt. Try to go when the manager is there and they'll sometimes give you some extra goodies read more

I am a huge fan of their rice cakes. I have been buying their rice cakes for many years. Recently, i found that their black sesami injeolmi was not good as before. It tastes like MOLD in it and i opened other pack and it tastes horrible! I am very disappointed since i have been driving 2 hrs to buy their rice cakes. I hope they improve their quality when i go next time. read more

Bought a box of the red bean mochi and other rice cake variety to take with me to Paris. The young lady told me how to keep it fresh. Box traveled well to Europe no issue. Mochi was delicious, as always. FYI. They do not take AMEX. read more

So delicious. Received a box and loved them all esp the white mochi one with red bean and walnuts inside. The yak bap aka sweet rice with assorted nuts was delicious too. Great packaging too avd perfect for gifting. read more

Quick summary: Cute little shop offering a wide variety of mochi in different flavors and textures, all at very reasonable prices. I'd come back to try more! - Injeolmi mochi - Super soft! Awesome texture with a good amount of injeolmi powder. The mochi are unsweetened, or barely sweetned, and the injeolmi flavor is pretty subtle on its own. Perhaps that's just the default, but I think I might've preferred the black sesame one more. - Pink mochi square - This was still warm when I bought it! I thought this would be strawberry flavor, but it's not and frankly I don't know what it is. It's good though! Slightly sweet with a few chunks of red something here and there. I thought it would be a firmer, sticky mochi similar to Japanese mochi, but it's actually a cross between a steamed bun texture and Japanese mochi. Really interesting and I enjoyed it a lot! read more

The best Korean rice cake, I especially love the rice cake with red bean and walnut. Everything is freshly made on a daily basis. The rice cakes are individually packed. It is also a great option for a gift (in replace of donuts or pastries). During the holidays, especially Christmas, New Years and Lunar New Year, this place get really busy. They run out pretty quick so pre order is highly recommended. read more

The packaging is elegant and neatly. This makes a great gift. price is a bit higher compared to other rice cake store. but it's delicious.

I'm not incredibly familiar with Korean sweet rice cake snacks. I walk past this shop every time I visit this plaza but have always been a bit too intimidated to stop inside to look around so have mostly window-shopped until this weekend. I picked up the rice cakes with sesame inside, a square pink-colored cake with the heart design in the middle and a brown-colored rice cake with actual grains of rice dotted with toppings like jujubes, pine nuts, peas, etc. Everything was quite delicious, especially the former 2. The cake was raspberry or strawberry flavored. It had a nice, chewy texture. I wish I have gotten the other ones to try, also (cakes in the other colors/flavors). The brownish rice cake made with actual grains of rice with the toppings was good but quite foreign to me. It's sweet, herbaceous and slightly savory all the the same time. These snacks are very filling. I made a meal out of that pink cake with the heart. read more

I went there to get some rice cakes around 20. What she said is so ridiculous. The lady with the eyeglasses told me she could not sell the same kind of rice cake because she needed to leave them for future customers and force me to buy other types of cake. I have never seen any cashier so rude like that: It sounds like she is scolding the customers who go all the way to buy their cakes. I used to go there to get the rice cakes, and I remember the owner being really kind. I feel like they ruin their business because of the customer service. read more

First of all, it just taste great. If u want to knw what is the real korean rice cake, they will show you the real tasty one! I ordered my son's 100days celebration cake at here with baeksulki, and they are make authentic take of it. Ordered around 50 of those couple day before but recommend you to order at least 3days before. They need time to make best ones. Best of best would be a week before (if it is larger scale of order then a month!) I just put little tiny photo on it to share with co-workers. Hope u can get a idea for celebration like this:) Oh forgot the price. It's $3 per each:) read more

This is based on customer service. Their rice cake is top notch always good. 5 stars for their rice cakes But customer isn't there at all. Young Lady with glasses, she never smiled and never care whether I need help or not. She seems careless. I give one star. Maybe she wasn't happy to be there to work. Because of her, I have decided to go there anymore. read more

I'm a fan! I liked the square one (white and pink heart) and small pink and white mochi with red bead filling. We also got other square kind like purple and pink but white one was the best. Also tried the ones with some beans, jujube and stuff but they were just ok. Best to go when they open when they have warm rice cake and eat right away. Fresh one tastes much better. The rice cakes were hard next day.. although you can steam to revive.. read more

The mochi with red bean and walnut filling is delicious. However; my variety box included a yellow square pastry that was dry and had the texture of chalk. I recommend the mochi; I don't recommend the yellow or the pink squares. read more

Had to get ricecakes for a post wedding event and decided to order from this place. The owner was so extremely rude and I was so taken aback at her attitude, especially towards my mom. We had already paid for the ricecakes but we left with a super sour taste in our mouth. read more

The owner was very rude and unfriendly. Used spoiled beans and had a full of lice size bug inside of plastic bag. It was a gift to my friend and she freaked out . After I complained to the owner, she said it was not from them even though I text her pictures. Don't go there. Horrible owner and very unreasonable. No apologies from the owner instead she screaming back to the employees over the phone. Wow. Keep telling me bring back the package even though I have to drive 30 miles to get the gift box from my friend. read more

If i could -1 star i would. The attitude and the way the ajumma with glasses talks to customers is beyond rude. She has a lot of ssagaji as Koreans would say. And their dduk is not even that good. read more

I used to frequent this Korean sweet rice cake dessert place until the place closed down-damn what was the name of that place? I was pretty disappointed because that was my favorite Korean rice cake location. Sometimes I go to Howondang but it's not the same, so I was kinda excited when I found this place. Siroodang had its grand opening not too month ago. Located right at the entrance of the new Galleria, this place just caught my eye as I walked in. It took me a while to appreciate Korean rice cake. Korean rice cake has beautiful design and usually colorful, but it is not as sweet as Japanese mochi. Most of the times it's just beautiful and bland. This place is so clean, bright and pretty. There's a very sweet lady who helped me that day. These Korean rice cake is sold pre-wrapped individually for $2-3 each. You can also purchase them already arranged in a box for a gift. They also sell colorful Korean "cookie" that tasted like bland thin wafer. I bought tiny balls of Korean mochi and also some colorful square shaped Korean rice cakes. I was kinda disappointed with my tiny Korean mochi because it's not as good as the ones I bought from the other bakery that closed down. They are filled with beans and covered with I think sweet potato powder. I didn't get the chance to eat the other rice cake because it was hard like a rock when I got it from the fridge the next day. FYI Korean rice cake usually only lasts for 1 day. 3 stars!! Not a fan yet. Siroodang is almost yummylicious!! read more

My mom and I have been going around Ktown to all the different dduk jips to find a decent place to host my ppeh bek (Korean Traditional Wedding). Our original intent was just to stop by the market, but we happen to stumble upon this place as we were leaving. We inquired about their prices and what the packages included. They're a little pricier than some places but they include things that others don't include and didn't charge a delivery fee. (ie: HoWonDang doesn't include the traditional clothing accessories and charges all sorts of fees) We've never heard of this place before, nor tried any of their products so the owner gave us a few freebies to try. Unlike other places, this place doesn't use any refined sugar but rather all natural ingredients and different types of fruit to sweeten their dduk. Hence the not so sweet taste. The different varieties of dduk that she offers is quite impressive. They have the traditional ones, but she also has some modern ones--chocolate, cheese, strawberry, raspberry, persimmon, n etc. Another item that she carries are these wafer cookies made from dduk. We ended up buying a variety pack just to try and will be booking my ppeh bek with her in the days to come. Highly recommend! read more

Really a small store without many offerings. Standard ttuk varieties. I don't know if it's a place where you pre order and just pick up? The storefront was not impressive. Got a shiruttuk from this place and it was pretty good. Not out of this world, was pretty standard. A bit bir boring but nothing wrong with it. Solid. read more

I would have to say that this place probably makes the prettiest rainbow rice cakes you'll find in LA. I came here because they were different and creative. They make rice cakes in different flavors: grape, pumpkin, black sesame, rasberry. Some of the flavors lacked, while others were pretty awesome. Based on looks alone I ordered dduk for my daughter's 1 year birthday party and for less than a 100.00 I got a cute cake made from pink and white dduk as well as the more conventional dduk filled with red bean. I didn't get a chance to taste it because I was too busy, but once again, based on looks, looked great to me. When I was in the store, they also had home made beef jerky that was pretty delicious! I wanted to eat a bunch of it, but it's kind of pricey. Service here is great and the owner is nice. read more

I believe this is the same place that has just moved into the new Galleria on Vermont between 4th and 5th St. It's a pretty shop with items that look too good to eat and in a way.. they are. I agree with Victor K. about the stuff being healthy since it's just rice.. and.. water? CAKE NEEDS FAT! The square-soap looking like cakes were in desperate need of moisture.. oil.. something! The different flavors were subtle and just soo dry. I've never had these rice cakes before so maybe that's how they're suppose to be? I will say that the lady running the store is very welcoming and generous. She gave my friend and I lots of details about the products and offered samples. She even gave us a bonus treat with our little $7 purchase. The sticky rice mini dumplings filled with black sesame were nice but cakes and crackers overall.. bland and dry. It makes me sad to not have a great review available for such a nice lady. read more
