Something different very delicious food ?
The portions were ridiculously big and the food was fantastic! I highly recommend checking out their chicken skewer — it was amazing and reminded me of korean street food!
Not good for vegetarians. Even asking for no meat on the garlic noodles was denied. Food was ok customer service was horrible but only due to trying to get flexible food options. Will not return or recommend.
I personally LOVE yupdduk...I get it all the time when I go to Korea. I've been to the locations in LA and I tried out this location too. Pretty much the same, great portions, great place to come with friends! Parking is pretty spacious so that shouldn't be a problem! I will say I like the LA locations better in taste, but all still good!
Food is good. Beware of their spice chart. Assume it's +1 your usual choices. Everything is good. hostesses and waitresses are pretty adorable too.
We ordered the least amount of spice, called Honey. my friend pointed to it and said no spice. I think the waitress either misunderstood and put the next option "little spice", or there is no such thing as no spice because my friend and I, (she's chinese, I'm white) were dying. the only one of us who seemed completely fine was our Mexican friend. All the spice stuff aside, it did have decent flavor but everyone at our table agreed we've had better for a better price. The toppings we got were skimpy. it looks like the cheese was a stick of unshredded string cheese that they tossed on top before cooking. There were 4 of us and only 3 sausages (I was the one that went without a sausage so I can't tell you if they were good or not). We ordered garlic chicken wings, the server said they come garlic or fried. they may have well been both due to the extremely crunchy nature of the breading. it was hard, too hot to handle, and when one is to take a bite, you'll get nothing but breading for the majority of the wing. I swear I spent a good 5 minutes or longer on one wing (trying to peel off some of the breading) and the net outcome was less than a full bite of meat. We ordered cheese corn which was a plate with a single layer of corn kernels on it topped with cheese and melted. There was not very much of that, as an appetizer meant to be shared between people we each got maybe two spoonfuls. The best thing on the menu that we tried was the "Jumbo Bulgogi Fried Rice" which was neither jumbo nor fried. It had crispy, salty strips of seaweed that added a good flavour and crisp to the rice and meat. The size of the plate was the same size as the plates they give the free (with meal) pasta salads and radishes. For one person its maybe a regular size, but definitely is not jumbo, and especially when you're sharing with the table. The yupdduk itself, nice chewy texture to the rice cakes and the fish cakes were tender and soft like how they are expected to be. Decent flavour but like I said earlier, "honey" isn't honey-like at all. It was so spicy that I was glad I ordered the chicken wings just so I could have the bucket (meant for bones) to put all of my napkins in. I ordered a drink at the beginning, strawberry sake, and I'm glad I did because it was the really good brand of sake, plus we were constantly running out of water so while my mouth was on fire from the spiciness of the least spicy yupp... Overall it was $72 (paid with cash) and an $8 tip. I paid 20 something because of my drink and my friends all paid around 17 each. I think that adds up right I'm not good at math. There was a bakery/Asian food/boba place around the corner that I'm upset we didnt eat at instead. (my friend that suggested yupdduk had never actually eaten here and we picked on her about it all day)

The place is filled with a lot of people and the service was fast and got our food. But the food we got was a kick of the spiciness even if we said a little spicy it was more the level of spicy. The food was still good but hard to enjoy with the spicing feeling kicking in most of the time. But I found a piece of hair in the food which made me surprise but I left the hair on the napkin for all the employees to see after we are done with the foo. But what I do like is the seaweed rice ball it was the only food not spicy lol and the delaciate of fries, fish cakes and seaweed rolls. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a kick start explosion to their food.
Super huge portions for the yupdduk sets! Eat with at least 4 people haha! Tastes great. The Regular spiciness was actually pretty spicy for me. Great service
Best food, kind staff, constantly good atmosphere. They charge convenient prices and the food quality is good. Keep it up.
