Amazing service love the corn dog I got. Very hip and modern spot love the iPad you order off too

Located in Fairfax HMart with a bunch of other restaurant choices to order from. on the day we went, this and the tofu place seemed to be the most popular. beef brisket ddeokbokki - I love the rice cake they use in here! It's super long, naturally sweet and very very chewy. The sauce is good but maye one level too spicy for me to eat comfortably. If i have a drink i'll be ok lol. The brisket is a little too thin where its more like falling apart but still made it tasty. Its good size to share with 2-3 people. The dumplings were mostly filled with glass noodles and went really well, maintaining its crunch with the sauce. 3.25/5 read more

We ordered the beef brisket rose topokki. Other Yelpers are right, while having the topokki be super long is fun and novel, it's pretty inconvenient to eat. We're not sure if they had plastic knives as we were just given forks, a spoon, and a pair of chopsticks and were too lazy to get up (lol) so we used two forks to cut the topokki into smaller pieces. The egg was cold which was a little off putting, but we appreciated that the dumplings and beef came separately so they wouldn't get soggy. Flavor was great! read more

I've been craving tteokbokki SO badly recently and I was out with some very indecisive friends, so we settled on going to the HMart food court. We got a large dduk mac & cheese toppoki and split it between three people, as well as a popcorn chicken in galbi sauce. The bacon and shrimp were a nice touch, although I wish they had more cabbage! The dish is actually not spicy (contrary to what the order suggests). I wish they didn't put the pot on the metal tray because the food cooled down way faster and the tteokbokki got cold, but it is what it is. Maybe next time we'll just stick it onto the table directly to prevent this issue. Tables can be hard to immediately grab but people move fast so if you wait a little bit eventually a table will clear up. It takes a little time for the food to be ready. read more

Located in the H Mart food court, this is our go-to place for prepared triangle rice. A favorite with my son, I like that this place prepares it fresh instead of having to purchase already made options. Just not knowing how long it's been sitting out. The service was very slow for some reason, so if you are looking for a quick lunch, be prepared to wait. They do have a self-order kiosk option. Plenty of seating in the food court u less it's a busy weekend. Will be back for more. Enjoy! read more

This place is inside HMart. Surprisingly good. I got A2 combo come with ramen, onigiri and a drink. We pick pork belly ramen, bulgogi onigiri and peach drink. The pork belly ramen is really good, the soup base is Smokey, the pork belly tender. Overall it's great. read more

This style of ddukbokki reminds me of a famous Korean chain restaurant. The serving size is easily for 2-3 people. The sauce was a little on the sweeter and spicier side but still very good! Food came out fairly quick also. read more

Got a large Beef Brisket Topokki - perfect for 2 people and it was delicious (& a bit spicy!) we thoroughly enjoyed sharing this large pan of beef, ramen, tteokbokki, shredded scallions, fish cakes, egg & dumplings. The flavor has a nice kick and I definitely needed more water but I wouldn't change the spice level. I also got a Kimchi Triangle rice ball but was too full to eat it! I dream of this now and can't wait to come back to try some of the other flavors. We luckily came on a Saturday around 2pm so it wasn't busy or crowded in the food hall at Hmart so seating was easy to get. We also got a cup of the Mango Ade which was refreshing. They do make your order fresh so we waited maybe 7-10 minutes (which wasn't long, but if you're in a rush and have some frozen Melona popsicles in your shopping cart from Hmart, this may not be the place for you.) read more

Ordered the dduckbokki with bulgogi. Meat was pretty bad. Poor quality and too much fat. Tasted like it was reheated. Service isn't great. Nobody taking orders and all through the kiosk order. Couldn't even tell if anyone was working. Probably won't go back to this place. read more

Came here around 11 on a Sunday with friends. Tried the tonkatsu (pork), ddukbbokki tteokbokki or toppoki, as these people call it, and the mango drink. I loved the sweet mango drink. I also really liked all the food I tried. Super good. Great food court for a quick bite before or after groceries! read more

Found this place in the H-Mart dining area after work. So glad I did! The cheesy tonkatsu is very filling. My only gripes are that the orders take a while, and though it's not the restaurant's fault, the sort of "food court" feel isn't the best ambiance. That being said, I will be coming back as the food itself was very solid! read more

Don't sleep on the H-Mart Food Hall food! We came and got the King Squid Topokki since we were craving it and we were not disappointed. It's enough to serve 2 hungry people so it's worth it. It's filled with plenty of rice cakes, fish cakes, and also squid. I also liked that they added some fried dumplings, ramen, and also an egg. They use the long rice cakes so it was super chewy and I loved how crunchy their squid was. I love spicy food and can tolerate a reasonably high spice level, but I thought it was a bit too spicy for me to comfortably enjoy it. Next time, I'll try asking if they can maybe adjust the spice levels? We also ordered the Mango-ade and it was delicious and refreshing! Would definitely return if we are here again! read more

There is no bell at counter so when I needed to ask for a bag for leftover dishes, I had to wait and wait. So I went inside counter and opened their curtain and said "Excise me.. can I get a bag?" The woman said angrily "no enter no enter! Say Excise me first!" I said that but you didn't hear me. You don't have to be this angry and rude to your customer just because they came to ask for a bag. And is this place so secretive that nobody is allowed to see the kitchen, even at entrance? read more

Their signature very long rice cakes "noodles" are unique but very inconvenient since I have to cut them into bite sizes myself haha. I ordered Beef Brisket Topokki. Each topokki dish comes with fried dumplings, fish cakes, cabbage, scallions, ramen noodles, 1/2 boiled egg. Medium serves 1-2 people and large serves 2-3 people. Very spicy but so good. Their (pork cutlets) are very crispy and juicy. Love the sauce that comes with it, but it's also very good with topokki sauce. :) read more

I loveeee korean tteokbokki so I was very excited to try some from Young Dabang. I ordered Beef Brisket Topokki and Classic Jjajang Topokki. They were both amazing. Beef brisket one was sweet and spicy (not super spicy tho) and the brisket had perfect marbling too. Lowkey the sauce tasted a little bit like the buldak sauce but it was good. I was kind of skeptical of Jjajang Topokki but it was really good to my suprise. I liked it because it was a little spicy so it was different from greasy/regular jjajang. The portion is not that big, so I would say order a large for 2 people. It's a little odd that this restaurant is in the food court section of H Mart, but the perk of that is I was able to add in korean hotdogs to my tteokbokki from Gangnam hot dog which is also in the same food court. I would definitely come again for some more tteokbokki~ read more

Whenever I go to Hmart I always go to the food court. Young Dabang is def the first place I go to since I'm obsessed with their King Squid Topokki. The squid is so tender and crispy while the topokki is super long a chewy. This is such a well balanced dish since it brings on the heat, sweetness, and savoriness all at the same time. It says it feeds 1-2 people but it can definitely feed 3! The only thing that I didn't like was how hard the hard boiled egg was but then again I don't really like eggs. Also the guy who operates the front is soooo nice. Every time I go there her brings out the food to my table. It's such a small but really nice gesture and it shows he cares for his customers. read more

It is always upsetting to see that east coast koreatowns do not have a good ddeokbokgi (spicy rice cake) place. Then Young Dabang opened and turned that frown upside down. (It is located in the food court of Hmart, one of the best Hmart food courts I have ever been.) I have never heard of chadol (beef brisket) ddeokbokgi, but it is the best combination (I love my meat). Well, I mean what wouldn't be good dipping in the ddeokbokgi sauce? It is at the right level of spicy (well, at least for me but I also don't do well with spicy food). It has dumplings, half of a boiled egg,, and ramen noodles. It also gives you scallions to eat with the brisket. The best part: long rice cakes. So chewy and delicious! I highly recommend! The only downside I've experienced lately is their to go box has changed from a plastic container to a paper box. Food like ddeokbokgi should not be in a paper box (not only does the box get soggy with the sauce and the heat, but it also does not keep it as warm as the plastic container does. Not sure why they had switched but it was a bad bad choice. read more

came with my few friends to eat at the hmart food court and we have no regrets!! we were to spend a day in DC but decided to eat local first. we ordered the Mala Tteokbokki with suspicions because mala is a very strong sichuan spice flavor. it was ~$22.00 total for the medium size. the mala tteokbokki came with 2 fried noodle dumplings, shredded green onions, grilled brisket, one egg, glass noodles, long rice cakes (that you can cut up with given scissors), fish cake, carrot, onion, and cabbage. this blew our mind since it was really not spicy at all!! there was definitely the infamous mala aftertaste but it made my mouth water for more HAHA. towards the end of the meal, the spice DID build up but not too much. it also depends on your spice tolerance and the three of us eat spicy food well. everything was cooked pretty well but the glass noodles were so-so. i cook these at home too when i'm craving homemade tteokbokki or ramen or home made hot pot, so i make them softer and chewier. the glass noodles were a bit harder to chew, but not too bad!! still very much enjoyed the meal :)) this is definitely my favorite now. i've tried the original, the black bean version, the rose, but mala beats them all. i recommend also ordering a side of fried assortments to dip and enjoy more or order [cheesy korean corn dog right across from this stand :)) service was very helpful and quick. the man that took our order was kind and patient and happens to also help run the korean corn dog spot too ! read more

I'm not a big (toppoki / tteokbokki) person, but whoa this place was so good. They don't cut the rice cake so it's super long and fun to eat. They provide scissors so you can cut them yourself especially if you don't want to splatter red sauce on your clothes. I love that they give you a variety of ingredients - rice cake, fish cake, boiled egg, dumplings, cabbage, beef brisket, etc. We got the platter for 1-2 people and it was the perfect size. My friend taught me to take out the dumplings before eating so it doesn't get soggy in the sauce. I looooove spicy food so the level of spice was perfect for me. The only thing that would make this perfect is to get a whole egg instead of half an egg. And if they have the option to get kimbap and/or soondae in the platter rather than paying separately as a side. read more

Young Dabang Ratings: 4.1/5 Food: 4.25/5 - My go-to place when I'm craving for some Korean food that's quick and casual. My boyfriend and I stayed at a hotel nearby, so we decided to stop by for lunch with him. We walked out satisfied and full. - Beef Brisket Topokki [GET]: Topokki dish got lots of good stuff, and it comes with long chewy rice cakes, tender beef brisket, fried dumplings, ramen noodles, veggies, and a half boil egg. I love the toppoki, they were soft and chewy, but was just a bit too hard for me to chew. They were super long, so you would have to use the scissors to cut them, and I thought it was fun. The brisket was fatty and juicy, very well-cooked. The ramen noodles got a good texture and was delicious, because it was soaked in their toppoki sauce. We choose mild spicy, and it was still a little bit spicy for us, so watch out if you are not good with spicy food. Ambiance: 4/5 - Located in the food court of HMART with many food options. There's plenty of tables and chairs to you to dine-in and lots of parking outside too. The food court is clean, brightly-lit, and spotless. It wasn't that busy during lunch time, so it's a perfect spot to grab a quick lunch if you are running some errands at HMART. Love this place. Price: 4.25/5 - I got a medium size toppoki for the two of us to share, because it says it can serve around 1-2 people for $16.50. The portion size was generous and definitely enough for the two of us to share and order something else on the side. Service: 4/5 - Customer service was fast, efficient, and seamless. We told the cashier the number of the dish we want, and after 10-15 minutes, the PA system will announced the order number once it's ready. After the meal, you can just return the tray back to them and they will take care of it. BLUF: Yummy and solid toppoki and know for their long chewy rice cakes. Go visit Young Dabang in HMART. read more

I tried Young Dabang back in February and split one of the topokki dishes with one of my friends. The prices are pretty reasonable for the size of these dishes. The small ($10.50-11.50) is easily enough for two people or just one very hungry person with all the toppoki, noodles, dumplings, egg, and main topping. Beef Brisket Toppoki - Lots of good stuff in the large dish and a good amount of beef brisket. The sauce was pretty spicy for myself and there were lots of toppoki inside. I personally am not a huge fan of toppoki in general, but they were soft and chewy which is kind of fun. I liked the dumplings and noodles inside more so than the toppoki. Pretty solid place for toppoki with ample portions and reasonable prices. Good for splitting especially if you get a set. read more

I got the Beef Brisket Topokki Combo Set. It was about $35 and came with a side of fries, cheese sauce and 2 -ades. The topokki was delicious, and satisfied my craving. I love the long rice cakes, it's just more fun to eat and they give you scissors to cut into smaller pieces. It also comes with 3 fried dumplings. I've never had dumplings that only was stuffed with glass noodles, but I loved it. Make sure to eat them early or take them out so they don't get too soggy. My friend and I got the mango and peach-ade. We thought the mango one tasted better. The cheese sauce was good, but was a very thick sauce so didn't stick too well to the fries when you dip it. Overall, would come here again when I'm in the area! read more

If you've seen the movie "Elf," do you remember the scene when Buddy the Elf is eating with his family and puts maple syrup on his spaghetti? That was the same feeling I had when trying out my beef brisket tteokbokki. Although the soup looked spicy, it was actually sweet... and I can honestly say that I finally understand why sweets are typically left for the end of the meal for dessert. The portions were shareable for 2 people, and the combination comes with drinks (Milkis or bottled water) and fries. The fries were soggy, and even the cheese had sugar mixed with it! A plus is that the meat quality was good. My husband and I were unable to finish our bowls and felt guilty returning our tray with so much food leftover... but the sweetness was just too overpowering. We'll opt to try another place in the food court during our next visit. read more

FAIRFAX, VA 10/31/19 DINNER +This Korean snack bar vendor is located within the Hmart grocery store. +They offer various Korean snack street foods type dishes; i.e., spicy rice cakes and fish cake soup. +The spicy rice cake ("ttukbokki") had some nice heat to it. -No loyalty rewards program. -The French Fries suck. They weren't crisp at all and they were cold. -We wanted the fish roe pan fried rice but they ran out of rice. -The kitchen looked like a hot mess and a bit dirty for my liking.

Girlfriend kept raving about how her friends were raving about this new joint that opened up alongside H Mart's grand opening. The food court has a lot of diverse options to offer, and I gotta say, this was pretty damn good. Some of the best Tteokbokki I've had in the states, and there's a couple of cool options to choose from. We just got the entree with the omelette option, and it wasn't too spicy, and it was just the right amount of sweetness. Portion is adequate, good enough for 2 people to share with something else on the side, and for $10, no doubt this is a good value. Will return to try some different options and sides. Strong 4/5 on the first visit. read more
