You absolutely must try their wings! The original spicy and honey garlic flavors are delicious, but the whole chicken flour is weird to me—it’s not good at all. One of the employees here is incredibly friendly and makes me feel like I should tip him every time I order, while the others aren’t as nice.

Ordered to go, but very satisfying. The chicken flavors were great. Personally not a fan of the rice texture in the kimchi fried rice. Definitely try the rosé ddeok-bokki with cheese. Canned sodas available, not a fan.
Located in a small strip mall, so parking isn’t a problem. Across the street from Jack in the Box. Not a lot of tables, not great for big groups.

Very disappointing experience. I called the store immediately after placing my order to let them know I’m allergic to green onions and asked them not to include it. I made about 5-6 phone calls, and they finally picked up after 8-10 minutes. By then, they told me the order was already made and I had to take it as is, despite my allergy. This shows a complete lack of care for customer health and no willingness to offer a solution. I hope the store takes allergies and customer concerns more seriously in the future!

Title: A Stellar Ddeok-bokki Experience That Will Ignite Your Taste Buds!

(5/5 stars)

From the very moment I walked into this unassuming gem of a Korean eatery, I knew I was in for a treat. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The Ddeok-bokki they serve here is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best I have ever tasted in my life!

The moment the dish was placed before me, I was instantly mesmerized by its tantalizing aroma. The fragrance of the gochujang sauce, combined with the subtle hints of garlic and onion, wafted through the air and beckoned me to dive right in. I could hardly wait to experience this symphony of flavors.

As I took my first bite, the succulent rice cakes were the epitome of perfection. Tender and chewy, yet never losing their shape or becoming too soft, they were the ideal vehicle for the mouthwatering sauce. The gochujang sauce itself was a work of art - a perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors that danced on my tongue and left me craving more.

What truly set this Ddeok-bokki apart, however, were the delightful accompaniments. The delicate fish cakes, crisp vegetables, and generous slices of boiled egg all combined to create a harmony of textures and flavors that made each mouthful a brand new experience. I couldn't help but savor each bite, eager to uncover the next layer of deliciousness.

I must also commend the staff for their exceptional service. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring that my Ddeok-bokki experience was nothing short of perfection. Their genuine passion for Korean cuisine shone through, and it was evident that they took great pride in serving the best Ddeok-bokki in town.

If you're searching for an unforgettable Korean culinary experience, look no further. The Ddeok-bokki at this establishment is an absolute must-try. Trust me when I say that your taste buds will thank you

First time trying them, so I got an 8-piece boneless chicken with their Secret Sauce. Each one was big, juicy and tender. The crunch was there but not too hard & crispy, it gave you the chance to enjoy the tenderness of the meat. The sauce was savory too. Sweet on the first bite, a little heat that follows, and by the time I was done with the entire portion there was a lingering Korean BBQ/garlic aftertaste that remained. Plan on being solo for awhile unless you're OK with your surroundings picking up your garlic breath! I'm impressed and will definitely come back to try their other flavors . 100%.

I’ve been meaning to try this place and finally did. I tried their lunch special which is Monday-Friday 11am-3pm. I did order them original since it was my first time here BUT I know I should order them next time honey garlic or Gangnam style. It came with 6 crunchy juicy boneless pieces, French fries and a drink. It was super delicious. Oh, and I tried the pickled radish! It’s a must have. The service here is amazing and I will definitely be back to try more flavors! I was able to try the secret sauce and it was incredibly good…highly recommend

Ordered hot spicy, galbi, soy garlic and golden original. My family loved all of the chickens. The golden orginal (my favorite) was so crisp that I could hear the crunchy sound whenever I took a bite. They gave four free pickles as well!

Worst BBQ fried chicken ever it is beyond oily and filled with fat and cartilage you can't even enjoy it. Whoever thinks this place tastes good has bo taste buds.
