I walked into the H Mart food court and decided to get try this spot. Their food options looked good so I decided I would try their bulgolgi gimbap and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be returning to try a few other options. There was ample space in the dining area and plenty of parking at this location. read more

Jaws Topokki is that spot when you're craving Korean comfort food done right. Ordered takeout and everything was amazing. I ordered the Tofu Gimbap, Fried shrimp Gimbap, and a Half Size Topokki (perfect if you want variety without overdoing it). The gimbap was fresh, flavorful, and neatly rolled, and the Topokki hit all the right spicy-savory notes. Bonus points for the excellent packaging -- everything was secure, clean, and traveled perfectly for takeout. You can tell they care about quality from prep to pickup. Definitely a repeat order for me. read more

Surprised at the amount of food and quality! The tteokbokki was soft yet still chewy but not hard and we asked for mild. The mild is good enough for average spice takers. There's kimbap had such a great portion of veggies compared to rice. All this was super filling. Even the half order of the tteokbokki was plenty! Lots of chairs and tables to sit at. Saw a lot of families eating nearby. Really great place to stop for some comfort food at a great quality and decent price. read more

Went with co-workers for lunch and they recommended this place. Great menu items but I was told the way to go was their k-box. I got the pork cutlet gimbap and chose to go with bulgogi as my add-on. Comes with a free bottle of water, which was nice. Only complaint was that I felt the bulgogi was a little dry. Other that it was great. Will definitely be coming back to try other things. read more

A DELICIOUS FIRST DIVE INTO TOPOKKI! This was my first time trying topokki, and I'm happy to report that it was FANTASTIC. The broth hits a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and the rice cakes were chewy and soaked through with flavor in every bite. I also appreciated the added fish cakes and the surprise quail egg, which rounded out the dish nicely. As someone who is new to topokki, I do wish the menu offered a brief description of the ingredients. It would be especially helpful for first-timers who aren't familiar with what typically comes in the dish. One small note: whether dining in or taking out, everything is served in a large plastic bowl. Mine got very hot while I was eating at the food-court tables, so I found myself wishing they offered separate dine-in dishware for a more comfortable experience. Overall, though, the flavors absolutely delivered. If you've been curious about topokki, this is a great place to start! I will definitely come back and try some other dishes they offer such as the Korean Sausage and their assortment of Gimbap's! read more

Jaws Topokki - Cheese Tteokbokki Soup - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

JAWS TOPOKKI has quickly become my favorite Korean spot. You might be surprised how many food court restaurants are actually better than regular sit-down places, and this one is a great example. For those who haven't tried it, topokki is a classic Korean street food made with chewy rice cakes in a sweet and spicy sauce, usually served with green onions, fish cake, and a boiled egg. JAWS TOPOKKI makes it taste authentic, and the addition of a quail egg is a nice extra. Just a heads up, I ordered the mild, and it was still pretty spicy. They do have other sauce options if you prefer less heat. Their staff was friendly and helpful when I customized my meal. I just wish they would improve their presentation, as the food was served in a giant plastic container. Not only is that bad for both health and the environment, but based on the menu photo, I expected it to come in a nice skillet. Especially considering that all the other restaurants in the food court serve their dishes in authentic Korean serving ware. read more

Always happy to see something new in the HMart food court! I ordered the tuna gimbap ($9.49) and assorted fish cake soup ($9.49). The freshly made gimbap was good and filling. The fish cake soup was filled with fish cakes (some of which I could pass on), though the soup was decent. Even if you eat there, it comes in a plastic takeout container, which makes it a little less pleasant. If it was served in better bowl, it probably would have made a better impression on me. After I ordered, I saw they had a bento box, which would have been perfect. Next time! read more

Surprisingly delicious!!! Wow, could this be my new favorite Korean spot? The food here was sooo good! I ended up trying a few things: spicy pork gimbap, bulgogi gimbap, pork cutlet gimbap, and Jajang Topokki. All the food was insanely delicious and fresh! Firstly, the gimbap was so aesthetically pleasing. You can tell it was made with care. Also the packaging was great! Loved the box it came in. The roll itself was filled meticulously and all the ingredients seemed fresh. Yummy! Also loved the sauces that came on the side, especially the green one. Truly great gimbap. The Jajang Topokki was sooo good! The spice level was perfect. I pride myself in my spice tolerance and I found this level to be perfectly enjoyable and not too spicy for me. Loved the chewy rice cakes and fish cakes and the crispy things on top -- great texture! Also really enjoyed the addition of a crispy dumpling/mandu, green onions, and a quail egg! And I liked that the sauce wasn't too sweet. Absolutely addicting! I will for sure be coming back and next time I'd love to try the Rose Topokki Soup!! Great job Jaws Topokki! read more

A 5 star in the H-Mart food court. We had been interested in checking out Jaws a couple weeks ago, but when we went, there was no seating. The food court has several restaurants. We were there at what most consider lunch time. A couple weeks later, we went at 3:30PM and had our choice of tables. We ordered their bulgogi gimbap for me, and the gimbap lunchbox for us to share. What I'm saying might be controversial, but I prefer Jaws Topokki's gimbap to others because they don't make it with the traditional yellow radish. The bulgogi tastes freshly made and hits the sweet spot, literally, just right. The lunchbox was a good choice for sharing. They also give a free bottled water with purchase of the lunchbox. I was able to trade some of my bulgogi gimbap for the pork cutlet gimbap and liked that, too. I am interested in going again, whether we take it for here or to go. They are now hiring as of 9/21/24. read more

I've been here twice now and I've been impressed both times! First off, it's easy to find and parking is convenient as it is located inside the HMart food court. There are plenty of tables and also high chairs for people with young children like myself. I was really interested in their rice cakes or topokki; however, I do not eat pork or beef. So I asked them if their rose topokki soup contained meat. The chef came out himself and told me that he will be happy to remove the pork belly and give me extra fishcakes instead. Super super nice! I couldn't refuse. 10 minutes later my order was ready for pick up as they called out my number and displayed my number on their TV screen. Flavors were on point! A mixture of rich, creamy, and a little bit of a kick from the spiciness. And as promised, he gave me lots of fish cake. I'm definitely a happy customer and will be returning shortly. read more

Ordered the Deep Fried Set (Medium), Topokki Soup, and Sikhye Slushie. The Topokki soup was delicious and the rice cakes were full of flavor from soaking in the broth. The noodle crispies added a nice crunch texture to the chewy rice cakes while the soup had a nice spicy kick. I would order and eat this again. The deep fried set had fried sweet potato, shrimp, squid, seaweed roll, dumpling. It was just okay because the batter was thick so all I really tasted was the fried batter and lack of spice. One of the fried pieces was just a ring of fried batter, which was perplexing because I expected something more. The Sikhye Slushie was sweet and delicious. However, they only filled the slushie barely to the lip of the cup - thus leaving a lot of space in the dome lid. It was disappointing because the picture on the menu shows a fully filled cup all the way to the top of the dome lid. read more

OVERALL : I've had Jaws in Buena Park and LA, so I was really happy to hear that they are now in Irvine! They're perfect for when I'm craving just a simple, delicious meal that is consistent each time. Their menu has all the well-known Korean staples -- kimbap, tteokbokki, fish cake soup, and fried seaweed rolls / veggies. I also like their slushie! Would def come here for a snack / meal whenever I am shopping in the hmart. Service was friendly and patient when we were deciding what to get. PARKING : - They are inside the Hmart food court, so parking is at the grocery store's lot and not too difficult FOOD/DRINKS : - Gimbap Lunchbox - what a good deal for $14.99! The box comes with your choice of Kimbap, choice of meat (bulgogi, spicy pork, or pork cutlet), kimchi, fish cake, side salad, fried seaweed roll, fried potato tempura + a water bottle. Very filling meal for a low price -- I shared this box and was still satisfied. Love the variety and cute presentation. The shrimp tempura kimbap was great with spicy mayo (sauce sold separately). - Slush - they had a BOGO deal for this slush! It was a blue razz and strawberry flavor. Fun and refreshing on a hot day read more

Incredible value for lunch in this inflationary economy. $14.99 plus tax for the Bento Box, which has alllll this yummy food. Spicy Pork was delicious - flavorful, moist, nice kick, tender. The kimbap with shrimp had a nice crunch and balance of different flavors. Does need sauce - which costs extra - but enjoyed it. There's other items in there too, filled me up nice Service was quick, easy, and convenient. read more

I love the keto kimbap here. I'm on a strict low-carb diet. I can't have anything w/ bread crumbs or anything deep fried. I was very happy when they substituted the deep fried shrimp w/ the spicy pork inside of the keto kimbap. The food was always consistent, and the service was always friendly. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who's on a low carb or keto diet. read more

This place is located in Hmart, lots of parking! We ordered: - Tuna Gimbap ($9.49) this was surprisingly filling. It came with 10 pieces. I believe it includes carrots, cucumber, sesame seeds, rice seasoned with sesame oil, sesame leaf, and pickled radish. Each bite was flavorful and very proportional. - Sikhye Slushie ($3.75) this slushie sounded very unique so we got it! We don't regret it at all as it was very refreshing! The workers told us that it is a sweet Korean rice beverage, definitely a good try! I would come here again if I'm craving gimbap!!! read more

Overall, Jaws offers yummy tteokbokki that is quick and affordable! Food: - Rose tteokbokki: The sauce was creamy while the rice cake was soft and chewy. There were lots of fishcake, bacon, and cabbage as well, which felt balanced. However, the base of the rose sauce did not have a deep flavor. There was also enough kick to the sauce, but wasn't too spicy at the same time. - Soondae (blood sausage): It was soft and decently flavorful, but not the best I've had. I was a bit disappointed that the 'only blood sausage' option gave the same amount of blood sausage (minus the pork intestine and stomach) at only 50 cents less than the original price. - Pork cutlet gimbap: It was unexpectedly very cold and sweet. The pork was delightfully crunchy, but the sweetness kind of overwhelmed everything. Ambiance: There were lots of seating in the food court, and it was clean there too! Service: Food came out fast, and they kindly gave us bowls to share when we asked. read more

The workers are friendly and the service was about 5 minutes for a large bowl of topokki and 2x gimbap and it was quicker than I expected. The tables were clean and it was slightly crowded. The food was really good. Food I tried: Jaws Toppoki Soup - 8/10 - It had alot of fish cakes. The mochis weren't too chewy. But the broth was delicious but a bit too sweet for me. They had bit of cabbage so it was healthy at some point. Low carb gimbap - 10/10 - It uses chopped fried eggs instead of rice. It has fresh vegetables and fried shrimp in it and used some sesame oil in it. They are really good if you dip in the topokki soup. read more

Absolute class act from the owner Richard - you've got a customer for life. Ordered through Doordash and the dasher didn't pick up all of our order. We ordered the Duo Set and 2 gimbap. We were missing our gimbap. When I called the store, I explained how we were feeling sick and wouldn't be able to pick up the order. The owner of Jaws, Richard, LITERALLY personally delivered the missing part of the order himself. He even gave us some Korean beverages on the house to help feel better. Unbelievably kind and generous. The food is phenomenal. Spicy and sweet where you want it all of the right places. The seasoning of the fried food dips perfectly in the tteokbokki. the gimbap is the ultimate comfort gimbap. Everything you could ever want from comfort food. This is the kind of small business we want to be supporting. This is my forever go to spot for tteokbokki. THANK YOU RICHARD!!! read more

I visited this Hmart (westpark) after work on a weekday and I was happy to see a Jaws at the food court. The food was great!

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the overall experience even better. Ample amount of parking, great location, and I know will be going back!
