Came here with my friend for dinner and it definitely hit the spot for what we were craving! We ordered the LuvDduk tteokbokki and bulgogi fries, and both portions were HUGE. For 2 people, we definitely had leftovers, but I think these two dishes would be a good amount to share between 3-4 people. If you're coming with more than 2 people, I'd recommend adding some extra toppings to the tteokbokki so everyone has more to share. The tteokbokki comes with toppings already added, including cheese, sausage, and corndogs. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the cheese on it, but overall everything was good and there was plenty to share. My favorite was definitely the bulgogi fries! I loved dipping the fries into the tteokbokki sauce. Service was pretty standard, but just a heads up that they play the music pretty loud. If you're planning to really catch up and have a conversation with a friend, this might not be the best spot because we were basically yelling to hear each other. Overall, we enjoyed the food and left with leftovers after only ordering two items. Definitely come hungry!
It's a lively place with neon lights. Good for a younger crowd but I did see families with younger kids. The girl had been wanting to try this place. A lot of cheesy items and there are no substitutions. This establishment has a 2 hour time limit. We ordered combo C which states it's GIANT for 49.99. Yrs it was a lot of food especially the chicken katsu. I dislike this dish but I did try it and it was full of flavor and crispy. The girl liked it I will most likely not return but my favorite restaurant is right next door so I will gladly bring the girl back here. If you like cheese, fried foods, and alcohol come here.
Cool spot for korean fried chicken. I can see that this place is lively and funky, but I expected it to be more like a bar with food, then a food spot with drinks, if you know what I mean. The food was good, but I don't think it's something I would necessarily crave often. The chicken was great, perfectly crispy and great seasoning. The combo we got was definitely enough for the both of us. I would've liked more cheese in the noodles dish. I can do without the steamed egg, personally. Service was fine, nothing special. Overall, good but likely will not come back.
Luv Duk is a great spot if you're looking for late-night Korean food with generous portions at reasonable prices. Everything we ordered was flavorful, but my favorites were the giant katsu and the tteokbokki. The portions are huge, making it perfect for sharing with a group. The atmosphere is fun and casual, making it a great place to hang out with friends. They also have an amazing happy hour with BOGO beer and soju during select days and times, which is a great bonus. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu and would recommend it if you're in the Cerritos area!
The portions were good and the food was tasty. I did think it was a little on the pricier side for me. The food took awhile to come out but I didn't mind since we weren't in a rush. Service could have been a little more attentive, though. Both times I visited, I had to get the staff's attention when we needed water or wanted the bill. There also weren't enough utensils/napkins in the holder at the table either times for my party of 4.
When in good company, pochas are the go-to late night food spots. LuvDduk in Cerritos always has me covered with their massive portions featuring all the classic Korean comfort foods and happy hour deals. We always get their tteokbokki which comes in a super-sized bowl, and you can customize toppings and add ramen, sausage, fried seaweed rolls, and so much more. In addition, we tried their garlic chicken wings, bulgogi hot stone, and bulgogi cheese fries. Everything is so affordable considering the portion size, making this perfect for groups + families! Will need to come back next time for more of their combo menus
And we're back! My boyfriend had been craving their Army Stew, so we finally came back to try it. It was packed with flavor and truly felt like a complete meal on its own. The portion size was generous--we even had leftovers to take home. I'd say it's perfect for a group of 3-4 people, especially if you're ordering additional dishes. We also ordered the Garlic Fried Chicken because I had to let him try it, and it did not disappoint. Another satisfying visit, and we'll definitely be back again.
Ordered giant chicken katsu and corn cheese. It was so good. Chicken katsu is crispy on the outside with tender meat inside. Such a comforting spot with generous portions. We got our order pretty quickly. Great place for a group to come and share food.
This is one of my boyfriend's favorite spots. We usually get the bulgogi cheese fries and another dish, today we got the sweet and spicy chicken wings. I would say the service is always consistent. We went on a Sunday around noon and it wasn't packed yet, I know later on it might get busier. Ambiance is always pretty chill in there. Giving 4 stars only because the restroom was a bit unkept and could've used a cleaning.
We are here for this giant katsu!!!! Well yeah... it's bigger than my face and probably double the size of my hand!! Still perfectly crispy on the outside and super juicy inside Also ordered the corn cheese And yup... it was HUGE too! But... more cheese!!! The bulgogi cheese fries though Their food is the ultimate combo to pair with beer We also didn't forget the signature tteokbokki Plus, they have buy 1 get 1 beer or soju during happy hour Ig: socalhkfoodies
This place is as good as I remember it. We got the Combo A with spice level 2, which is halfway between buldak 1 and x2. The portion size is huge, so don't go ordering more food if there are only two of you. The music was blaring and they played my favorite songs, but it was between lunch and dinner so it was unnecessarily loud with just the two of us in the restaurant. Check this place out when you get the chance. I bet it gets really packed at night!
My friend and I came here and ordered the Set #2. The portions were huge, so we ended up having plenty of leftovers, which made it feel like a great value for the price. The spice level was just right--not overwhelming, but still flavorful and satisfying. Everything paired well together, and we really enjoyed the meal. The service was friendly, and our food came out in a timely manner. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would definitely come back the next time I'm craving tteokbokki.
Okay service is great. It's the first time I've been to a restaurant where I don't need to ask for refills of water because the lady kept replacing our carafe! Thank you for that! It "looks like a typical burger joint inside with Booths. There's a side door for to go orders. Food service was quick and the portions are big. For their price, I would hope so. We ordered the following: Bulgolgi Fries Garlic Steak Noodle Egg Cheese corn Ranking in best to so-so, I'd have to say is the steamed egg. Yes, I was surprised too. I thought the Bulgolgi fries would be number one. Sadly it's not. If you mess up steamed egg, ima gonna say no to the rest of your menu. I would order two next time and just stick to that. The cheese corn was okay, but compared to PaDak and other local Korean spot I say skip this. The cheese tasted weird to me and I did t like that it was also a kraft American cheese. As a cheese lover, I only expect that square cheese to be on a burger or cheese melt. The Bulgolgi Fries could serve 3 people. But it was drenched with sauce, and spicy sauce. Not enough Bulgolgi to pay $20. The cut of fries were this nd tasted like sweet potato. It just didn't fit my taste buds. The Garlic noodle okay. That's Al I have to say about that. I'm glad I finally tried this place, but I don't know if I would come back for anything on their menu. I would rather go next door or across the street.
Reviews are largely positive. Diners highlight the crispy fried chicken, generous portions, and lively atmosphere. Service is often described as friendly.

Luv Dduk is celebrating their 10-year anniversary, and it's easy to see why they've been a local favorite for so long! This spot serves up the ultimate Korean comfort food -- everything from cheesy bulgogi fries and crispy fried chicken to their signature ddukbokki that's perfectly spicy, chewy, and flavorful The kimchi fried rice was the perfect finish -- packed with flavor and that satisfying wok-fried taste. They also have soju, beer, and happy hour specials, which make it such a fun spot to chill with friends or family. The staff is super friendly, the food comes out hot and fresh, and every bite just hits the spot. read more

We were sat immediately and the servers were very attentive. The food was fantastic. We got the shrimp fried rice and the bulgogi noodles and also cheese corn. The rice and noodle dishes were very fresh and flavorful. The corn cheese was good but the slice of American cheese in the middle was a little odd. We for sure will go back read more

Finally tried this place out because we kept seeing it on social media. We got there 30 minutes early and there were already people waiting with us. Service was great, we got seated right away and the food comes out pretty fast! The food was super yummy! I really liked the garlic bulgogi noodles and chicken katsu! Their portions are great for a big party, very shareable, just try to go early because I can tell it could get pretty busy! read more

Hi Avita, thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the food,…
When there's a restaurant that you drive by all the time and have always wanted to try it but never do, until the time you finally get to and that's when you realize, you've been missing out. Luv Dduk has been here for quite some time and just recently got to try their food. My son who's been here before was my dinner companion and we decided to go with the combo tteokbokki and Chicken Cutlet and added the two beef ribs. What a lot of food. The teokbokki was cooked perfectly. The beef ribs were super tender and the gigantic chicken cutlet. Everything was perfectly cooked. read more

I loved almost everything we ordered! The fries were surprisingly crispy and crunchy even after over an hour! Usually fries get soggy and gross, but these were great! Crunchy fried chicken skin was so good, and I love that they have the sauce on the side. The tteokbokki was yummy! I do wish there were more corn dogs. Good, spicy flavor throughout! The corn cheese was good, but there was a curry flavor I wasn't used to. It was sort of odd but still yummy to me! Space is clean and lively and the service was quick! Everyone was friendly. I'll be back! read more

Hate to admit it but TikTok was right. This viral place did not disappoint. Luv Dduk is one of the most popular Korean pub restaurants that will always have a crowd of people waiting outside the door. Pro tip: Come between 4-6PM and you can usually get seated right away! We got the combo set B which comes with a ginormous serve of army ramen soup that has sausage, rice cakes, ramen, even cheese, and will feed 3-4 people easy, and rice balls. And what's Korean pub food without kimchi fried rice and stretchy cheesy goodness like jiggly steamed egg topped with cheese? The sweet & spicy chicken wings were definitely the star of the show though, we could not stop talking about how this was our new favorite Korean fried chicken. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

Went to Luv Dduk and ordered the Luv Dduk tteokbokki and the Fried Boneless Chicken with sweet & spicy sauce. The tteokbokki was okay, but a bit disappointing for the price of $27. It was mostly rice cakes and cabbage, and I was expecting more of the other toppings to make it a more substantial dish. The 2 mini corn dogs just tasted like a microwave corn dog, it would've been nicer if it was air fried or baked to be crispy. Also, the cheese was just sitting in a single lump in the bowl, rather than drizzled over the tteokbokki like in their menu photos. The flavor was decent, but the lack of variety made it feel a little one-note and it got tiring to eat after the first few bites. The fried boneless chicken was good, and the sweet and spicy sauce was a nice break from the flavor of the tteokbokki. However, the chicken itself was more of a fried chicken cutlet shape than the tenders or nuggets shown on the menu, which was a little misleading. It was tasty, but nothing that really stood out from other Korean fried chicken spots. I'm not sure if the value is quite there for the price. Our total came out to be $57 before tax and tip. We definitely had more than enough food, with leftovers to take home, but most of it was rice cakes. I also feel like you have to order multiple dishes besides the tteokbokki because eating it on its own gets tiring quickly. If you're in the area late and craving tteokbokki, it's worth a try but I prefer Yup Dduk in Ktown. read more

Vivian, thank you for sharing such a detailed review. We’re glad you…
Luv duk People say this place has the best viral Korean pub food. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their corn cheese, boneless cheesling chicken, bulgolgi garlic noodles, and katsu to try. The corn cheese was on the sweeter end, super gooey and cheesy with pops of juicy corn. It was a bit mayoy tho. The boneless cheesling chicken pieces were pretty big, juicy, really crunchy, and was coated in a slightly sweet seasoning that kinda reminded me of the ones you can get on your fries at the mall ya know? The bulgolgi noodles came with some broccoli and onions, and plenty of sweet, tender meat that was perfectly balanced by savory, garlicy, springy noodles. Pure deliciousity. The katsu came with TWO MASSIVE pieces that were legit bigger than my head and were amazingly crispity crunchy, surprisingly juicy, and paired well with the curries that it came with. The yellower one tasted more like your savory classic curry while the brown one tasted kinda like a mix of curry and ketchup? People are nice, Portions are massive, everything is super crispity crunchy. Overall This place is pretty good. Corn cheese $15.99 Cheesling boneless chicken $21.99 Garlic bulgolgi noodles $19.99 Katsu $25.99 read more

It was super busy--there was even a line to get in! I totally understand why though. The portions are huge, the prices are affordable, and everything is delicious. The Spicy Chicken with Cheese and the Love Dduk Tteokbokki were both cheesy and so addictive. They're pretty similar, so I'd say ordering either one is a must. The fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Since it's fried to order, it comes out fresh and hot. This is the perfect spot for a party or a fun meal with friends! read more

Came on a Sunday evening. Encountered limited parking near the building but found some off the side. We were seated right when we arrived with no wait time. There was plenty of seating inside (booth style seats). Not really stroller friendly but luckily ours folded away. We ordered the bulgogi cheese fries and the luv dduk with extra mozzarella and ramen noodles. We received our order within 10-15 mins and enjoyed both dishes. The bulgogi fries had a great ratio of cheese, I wish there was more bulgogi but overall, good. The luv dduk was delicious. I will say, if you don't do well with spicy food, the level one will still be too spicy for you. Great service from the staff also, very helpful and friendly. read more

My friend and I were looking for a place close to the Cerritos Center for a quick dinner. We found this place and went on over. We ordered the orange dumplings and the bulgogi garlic noodles. The dumplings were just OK. I probably wouldn't order them again (they lacked any real flavor). But the bulgogi garlic noodles were SO GOOD that we ordered one more plate of it. The meat was so so tender and delicious. The noodles were perfect and the garlic was just the right amount, not overpowering. The service was quick and good. They also had some loudish music playing that actually wasn't too bad...it gave the place a kind of "cool vibe". We look forward to coming back and trying more dishes. read more

Great service! Pretty high prices but honestly every plate is good for at least 3 ppl! Every dish is huge portions so you'll have leftovers. The chicken katsu is perfectly crispy & juicy chicken. The garlic noodles are delish!! Hubby doesn't even like noodles but he loves the bulgogi garlic noodles. The seafood noodles are my fav! Just enough shrimp, musles and noodles. Do know that the shrimps aren't peeled. The luv dukk is so huge!!! We got with short ribs and it was all delish. The sweet and spicy wings are boneless. Very sticky sauce which is awesome. Do note this as a lil too sweet for my taste but perfect spicy flavor. Note that u must put your name on the yelp waitlist in order to be seated. Overall great food, service!!! Will return! read more

The best spot for late night grubs!! Insane portions & affordable prices perfect for large groups and big back activities! ORDERED: - Katsu & Tteokbokki Combo - HUGE katsu that pairs well with the curry and sauces on the side, tteokbokki was perfectly soft & chewy - Garlic Fried Chicken - the best fried chicken i've ever had!! texture and taste are chef kiss - Cajun Shrimp Garlic Noodles - a group favorite & so addicting - Corn Cheese - not your average cheese + corn combo! sweet & savory Their food is packed and flavorful so you really can't go wrong with any item on their menu. Major food coma but 100% worth it and would do it again in a heartbeat! read more

Thanks for the incredible breakdown, Viv! We're all about big flavors…
After seeing this place on my IG feed many times, I've decided to finally give this place a try plus I was in the area. My bf and I got the Giant Katsu and Tteokbokki Combo because the combo seem more worth than ordering separately. The portion of sizes are very generous, enough to share 2-3 people. The Katsu was really crispy and it was huge. The tteokbokki was my favorite, it was chewy and soft. The regular spice was a little spicy for me but I was able to enjoyed the food. We had leftovers at the end and were really full. read more

was craving korean food and Luv-Dduk delivered with really tasty, lightly breaded, crispy Korean chicken wings! they were served very hot and fresh. the garlic sauce is delicious. these wings were perfectly crunchy and not too heavily braised. also served with a side of ranch. tried the spicy chicken dish as well, considering its popularity! it is served with tteokbokki and veggies on a skillet. also served extremely hot and fresh. both dishes were enough for the two of us to leave super stuffed and satisfied. service was very friendly and attentive. this spot is open late and features happy hour specials. the music on a tuesday evening ranged from house to techno, but there's definitely an EDM vibe here. read more

I was excited to try Luv Dduk because I always pass by it and saw it going viral on TikTok. The service was good and the restaurant was clean with plenty of places to sit. I thought the tteokbokki was okay but not amazing. It felt kind of dry because there wasn't a lot of sauce. It just felt kind of underwhelming because there wasn't much to it. My expectations were high because of what I've seen online, but it kind of fell short for me. read more

5 out of 5. Food was plentiful and tasty. Super HOT when served so be cautious with kids. The services was fast and top notch. Store was clean all around. Bathroom was also fresh smelling and clean. You want take out? There is a walk up window to the side of the building. It was a neat idea. Lastly, I almost forgot the disco rave music! That's right, there was rave music playing in the background the whole time. And while that may seem odd it kind of sold the whole experience, and my kids loved it! read more

Luv Dduk is a go-to spot for bold, comforting Korean street food especially if you love tteokbokki. We came on a Wednesday and they were bumping EDM music! Their rice cakes are perfectly chewy, and the sauce strikes a great balance between spicy, sweet, and savory. Portions are generous and meant for sharing, making it a fun place to eat with friends. The menu offers nice variety, from classic tteokbokki to add-ons like fish cakes, ramen, and cheese that elevate the experience. The vibe is casual and cozy, service is quick, and prices feel fair for the quality. If you're craving authentic, satisfying Korean comfort food, Luv Dduk definitely hits the spot. read more

Food was so good, and for the price it was even more delicious. The chicken katsu order is huge, I just wish it came with more rice and curry sauce. Everything else like the Korean friend chicken, corn cheese, loaded fries, and beef Brocolli noodles were good as well, but the katsu was the star of the show. Service was quick and staff was attractive. The restaurant is very lively and packed at night. read more

I feel so so about Luv Dduk after today. The servers were AMAZING and checked on us every so often. I think that improved. The food was okay. I've been here around COVID when the tents were outside and food slapped so good then. The service was so so then. So, I feel like it flipped. I noticed there were less food items and no lunch items. I kinda miss having that option if you didn't want to commit to eating so much. read more

Hello Betsabe, Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts.…
Saw this place on Insta so I had to try it while in the area. It's a bit of a hidden gem. Parking is difficult to find. I had to park beside the Filipino restaurant. The sign at the door said to wait outside to be seated. Strange. I went in at least to make sure they know I'm here. There were plenty of open tables so we were seated right away. It took awhile for the waitress to get our order. She was very nice though. Once she took our order, she checked on us often. She offered to cut our giant chichen katsu too! Their prices were high but now I know why. Their portions are giant. It's big enough to eat 4 people. I brought my 14 year old son who eats for 2 people and we still had left overs! First, I got the sausage and rice cakes. It wasn't anything special. I would skip that one next time. The steam egg was runny. I didn't care for the small slice of Kraft cheese on top but the cheese inside the egg was good. Finally, we got the giant katsu chicken. I'm glad I got this. The chicken was well breaded. The crispy was perfection. I liked the side curry and katsu sauce. I wished they had more of the curry though. It wasn't enough for the giant chicken. I would definitely get this again! read more

Haven't been here in a few years! So excited to be back! Parking: Free parking lot. There's a very small plaza, so finding a spot can be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They still have a small indoor space with a good amount of indoor seating and no outdoor seating. All booths accommodate large groups. Always loved the vibe here. We visited right before their dinner rush at 18:30-19:00. Service: Shout out to Yoon and all the other servers for being attentive, quick, & efficient! If there's a wait, join the waitlist via the tablet outside. There was no wait when we visited, so a worker seated us immediately. Foods & drinks: 1) Large Katsu Chicken, Curry, & Rice + Tteokbokki - This was part of one of their combos. Their large Katsu chicken blew up on socials, so of course I had to try it. This was definitely large and extra crissspppyyy. The curry paired well with the Katsu. The Tteokbokki is as I remembered! It was spicy and fulfilling. LOTS of rice cakes, fish cakes, sausages, corn dogs, & cabbages. 2) Bulgogi Garlic Fries - Exactly what it sounds like. Bulgogi and garlic fries. This was huge! There was a generous amount of bulgogi and cheese. The fries were cooked well. Though the garlic taste was overpowered by cheese and bulgogi. 3) Yogurt Soju - Happy hour BOGO free any soju or beer! Perfect drink to go along with these comfort foods! 4) Limade and Pineapple Juice - These were refreshing and citrusy! Pricing: EVERYTHING is shareable at least between 2-4 people! Definitely worth its price! read more

Hello Millena, Thank you for your detailed review! We're so glad to…
Be careful, this place is addicting! I am a big advocate for cooking rice cakes at home, but something about the ones here are truly addicting and unable to be recreated at home. These rice cakes are sweet, spicy, bouncy, chewy, and so good. I got the new beef rib combo that came with the cutest little corn dogs. I also got a side of corn cheese, which was very creamy and sweet. I got the Level 2 spicy, which they describe to be on a similar level to the Samyang spicy Buldak ramen. I think this is an accurate comparison, and it is deliciously hot. I didn't get it on this visit, but I highly recommend getting some of their rice balls to both reduce the spice and soak up all of the extra sauce. Parking in this plaza is plentiful, especially if you come by for your late night fix of Korean food. read more

A little pricey but great Korean food in the area. Luv Dduk specializes in simple Korean foods such as fried chicken, katsu and fried rice. I came over the weekend for lunch with one other person. There wasn't a wait during lunch time but it was busy. We only shared the army stew ($30) which was a large hot pot that we didn't finish with some left overs. The stew was super flavorful and I liked that it had plenty of meats (sausages, spam, sausages). It was pretty good and worth the price. The inside of this place is very casual. It's great for small or larger groups. It can get pretty busy during dinner on the weekends. Since it's small there may be a wait. The staff was very nice and the food came out fairly quickly. Bowls and plates are all disposable. I liked that waters and everything you need is brought out so you don't really need to flag them for anything. I would come back and I want to try the bogolgi fries. read more

came on a saturday night around 8pm, i'd definitely recommend joining the yelp waitlist if it's still open so you don't have to wait as long. they also take your order before seating you so your food comes out quicker which i thought was convenient! spacious booths, music was a bit loud but not bad. luvdduk combo with corn cheese (4/5) - very good portions for everything, corn cheese was unique and the rice cakes were good, definitely add the ramen. my group didn't really care for the ribs it came with so we'd probably pass next time. giant chicken katsu (4/5) - sooo big omg, also very fatty so beware if you're not into that. overall good food, quick service, and open late read more

Hello Ellen, Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled…
What I Ordered: Buldak Chicken Tteokbokki ($29.99) Ramen Noodle Topping ($4.99) Fried Dumpling Topping ($6.99) Mozzarella Cheese ($4.99) Fried Chicken ($29.99) Bulgogi Cheese Fries ($21.99) Food: Every item I ordered were absolutely delicious! The Buldak Chicken Tteokbokki or Spicy Rice Cake comes with rice cake, fish cake, sausages, and cabbage all mixed in a spicy tteokbokki sauce. I chose spice level 1 since I am not that good with spice and it was perfect for me! It's only $3 more than the regular tteokbokki, but it comes with a good amount of chicken so I thought it was very worth it! Tteokbokki or Spicy Rice cake is a very popular street food dish in Korea, and I was very excited to find a restaurant that serves this dish in a delicious and authentic way. The Fried Chicken is served as a Korean Fried Chicken with a garlic soy sauce and spicy sweet sauce served on the side. The garlic soy sauce has a VERY STRONG garlic flavor, and this is coming from a Korean person (we put garlic with everything). The spicy sweet sauce was great and tasted like the typical sauce that is served in many Korean Fried Chicken restaurants. The factor that really sets this spot apart was how crunchy it was! I don't know if they double batter or do something to the chicken, but it is one of the crunchiest chickens I've had, which I absolutely loved. The Bulgogi Fries dish was the perfect Korean American fusion dish with a plentiful amount of bulgogi or marinated beef on top of a bed of fries with a mountain of cheese. I don't mean a neighborhood hill but a Mt. Everest amount of cheese! They are definitely using different blends of cheese with a variety of sauces, and I was absolutely in love. Staff: Every staff member I encountered was friendly! They also walked around the restaurant quite a lot of times to make sure everyone was taken care of. Ambiance: Comfortable seats all around with plenty of seats! They do have a lot of people usually, so there's probably going to be a wait! Plenty of parking in the plaza. read more

David, thank you for giving us a try and sharing your feedback. We’re…
We were looking for somewhere that was open late after our road trip to SoCal and this popped up! It's a cute small neon bar vibe with fried chicken, Korean army stew and more! We settled on their bugolgi garlic noodles and the garlic noodles themselves were delicious! The bugolgi was on the saltier side though..! The garlic chicken wings as well were a bit disappointing, the seasoning sauce was delicious but the crust to chicken ratio was about 85-15% :/ definitely wished the wings were a bit more meaty or there was less crust..! Seasoning again was delicious though! The service was great and quick, they have a yelp waitlist but also take your order while you wait so your food comes out super quickly once you're seated. read more

Would someone with a severe seafood and shellfish allergy be able to eat here safely (can't be cooked in the same oil as fish, not shared equipment, NO fish sauce or oyster sauce)?
I highly recommend that you cook your food for safety.
Are all your food are spicy?
All foods will have a spicy level option from mild to hot! Thankfully, mild isn't too bad but you can still request for no spicy!
Is outdoor dining available and what is the maximum capacity?
I saw a patio on the side when I went last month, fairly small, maybe 8 people max
Are the rice cakes here made from rice or wheat flour? I know that sounds strange, but a lot of Dduk is made from wheat flour not rice flour, and yet Dduk is often still just translated as "Rice cake."
It is made with wheat flour. The word dduk as rice cake is a rough translation. There are different types of dduk made with different types of ingredients, not just rice. So dduk is translated to rice cake but it does not mean that dduk has to be…
Hello i have question, how much to order your Fresh large Intestine?

Hiya! So I am not a spicy type ramen person do they have a mild spice? Or a light spice that is not over powering? Also what is in the ramen? I am not big on fish cakes but I do like rice cakes too! And veggies!!
Yes, my mom and I ordered the mild level and it's just perfect for us who don't eat too spicy
What's the difference between the yup dduk and yup oh?
Yup Dduk has more rice cake and Yup Oh has more fish cake!
