The instant tteokbokki here is an absolute game-changer. I went all out and ordered two servings of tteokbokki, with a side of buttery garlic fries to level up my experience. Let’s start with those fries – they were a total surprise, and trust me, you’ve got to get them. They’re loaded with a generous heap of garlic sauce and cheese powder, and that garlic sauce? It’s like an old friend, comforting and delicious. I practically inhaled the fries while my tteokbokki was bubbling away. Now, the tteokbokki itself, it’s got that perfect level of spiciness, enough to satisfy both seasoned spice lovers and rookies alike. This tteokbokki concoction is a fusion of ramen, jjolmyeon, eggs, and yaki-dumplings. Oh, and those sesame leaves on top of the dumplings? They’re a game-changer, elevating the dish with their unique aroma, adding a delightful twist to the spicy-sweet mix.
Here’s the unusual part – they’ve got aprons hanging at the door, so snag one as you come in. Inside, it’s a cozy spot with tables pretty snugly packed. Things start buzzing around 11:30, so if you’re not in the neighborhood, it’s worth coming in a bit earlier. During lunch, the team will give you the lowdown once everyone’s gathered. And here’s the best part, you can choose between fully cooked and half-cooked packages for takeout. When I’m in the mood for some Korean flour-based comfort food in Yeouido, this is the spot that pops into my mind. Those buttery garlic fries, coupled with the instant tteokbokki, make for an epic flavor combo that’ll keep you coming back for more.
