As a non-vegetarian though, from my small sample size, I was not too eager to want to try more nor come back, although it doesn't taste bad.

I got the spicy pork ramen and it was delicious-the broth is not as rich as other places but that was fine with me, as I wasn't in the mood for super rich broth. I really, really liked the chashu-it was moist, tender, a little fatty, and was well-seasoned. I just wish that the ramen was a little bit spicier. The egg was cooked perfectly soft boiled, and the noodles were thin noodles, which is my favorite kind of ramen noodles. The store was pretty cute and modernly decorated, and the service was friendly, nice, and fast. Would return if I'm ever in the area!

The ramen was rich, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying, with noodles that had just the right texture and a broth that kept me going back for another sip.

They offer AYCE Topokki which is the kind of meal my partner and I decided to go for but they also have AYCE hotpot if you're not a huge fan of Topokki. This place has a bunch of Topokki galore: different flavored rice cakes with different sauces ranging from mild to spicy and even tomato broth flavorings!! We opted for tomato broth with ramen and a wide range of Topokkis...the section I want to flag is the ramen shelf. There's top ramen, Jin ramen, and just cup noodles and varieties of ramen you can put in your broth if you want to know what kind of noodles it's coming from. The service is quick and it's self serve so you get up from your table to pick what you want. There's also a fried food section if you want other types of food to eat. As pictured, there's fries, wings, and fried rice cakes. The ambiance is lively with posters of Korean idols everywhere (I'm a BTS fan, so there's V everywhere, yay :) ) and they have good fruit teas and cocktails. It's a large place with designs of witches everywhere; this WITCH Topokki. it's clever and the food is filling and warm.

Pros: great food and great prices!…read more This is such an adorable cafe with delicious onigiri at a reasonable price! I had their lunch set that came with two onigiris, a small side, and miso soup for roughly 16 dollars. Each onigiri was flavorful with a good ratio of rice and filling. I got the salmon pickled radish onigiri and the mentaiko cheese onigiri. Both were delicious, but my favorite was hands down the mentaiko cheese onigiri! The saltiness of the mentaiko paired with the mildness of the mozzarella cheese was a delicious combination. Service was great and fast! The ambiance was very warm and there was a lot of space. Definitely would come back to try all the options.
