We also tried the octopus and pork with rice, which was super satisfying and packed with flavor. Honestly, everything we ordered worked really well together, but the sujebi and bossam completely stole the show. I would come back just for that sujebi, no hesitation. Good service, had both hot tea and cold water for the table when we sat down.

Service was good, they were fast and nice The vibe was casual and a great place to come eat late night meals with friends since they open til 3am! I did think the music was a bit too loud for people to have conversations with people but i think that's the vibe of a pocha. The food was okay , not amazing & some of the dishes were pretty pricy for the quality. For example, the beef tartare was mostly pickled veggies, and was not spicy or sweet as the name suggests and had very little beef for the price and the seafood pancake was also mostly veggies but it was nice and crunchy! We were also given a plate of complimentary teokkbukki which was a nice touch!

Yuupduk is my go to place to get tteokbokki (rice cakes in spicy sauce). I believe they are a chain…read morefrom S. Korea, and they are known for their very spicy tteokbokki. The texture of the rice cakes are nice and chewy - more so than other restaurants. I used to get their namesake tteokbokki which can be made to be extra spicy. And when I say spicy, I mean really, really spicy. These days, I've been getting the rosé tteokbokki, which is much less spicy because of the addition of the cream. Unfortunately, they can't seem to make it very spicy (which was the original reason why I craved tteokbokki from here specifically), but the rosé tteokbokki is addictive in its own way. I always add an extra order of the sausage; they have a good snap and the flavor complements the tteokbokki very well. I've had the other dishes here before - the udon, mini kimbap, tuna rice balls, tempura, donkatsu, etc. Everything is pretty well done. The only dish that I do not like from here is the soondae, which is unfortunate because tteokbokki and soondae is such a classic Korean bunsik combo. But alas, I would not recommend getting that dish here. The flavor and the texture of the dish is not up to par with their other menu items.

I love Yupdduk's tteokbokki so I came again to introduce my friend to their food (I come to Yupdduk…read moreoften whenever I'm having a craving for tteokbokki haha). Please refer to my previous review for more thoughts. We came right at opening at 11:30 am on a Saturday and shared a large rose tteokbokki that was delicious as always. The rice cakes are tender and chewy & the sauce is as addictive as usual with its balance of savory umami, sweetness, and spice. I haven't had the large size tteokbokki in awhile as I usually come alone & get the small size but the large size is a great option for when you eat with someone else. My friend really liked the tteokbokki as well, I'm glad to convert another person to be a Yupdduk fan ;) We also ordered the kimari/gimmari/deep fried seaweed rolls filled with glass noodles. It's my first time having this dish and this was also very tasty. The glass noodles inside are well seasoned and savory & the deep fried seaweed is nice and crispy. It's a great appetizer to pair with tteokbokki! The music they play is always nice and chill & usually the restaurant isn't very crowded. There's wifi as well! It's a very casual place and great place to grab food with friends. I once again, highly recommend Yupdduk!

Cuisine: 8 Service: 9…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 10 Overall: 9 This review is probably 20 years too late because I've been coming here ever since they opened in 2002. My Korean friends took me here and said that it was the only pork BBQ specialist in all of Flushing at the time. When I walked in, I realized exactly what they meant because they had no menu and only pork belly as your choice of meat. The other noticeable difference was their large dome shaped cast iron griddle on the middle of each table, which is more common today, but was the first place I had ever seen one. I knew immediately that I was in for a brand new experience and I was excited. Over the years, I have continued to come here for my porky cravings, and introduced this place to many family and friends. The restaurant has experimented with many more items and now has a menu full of other meats for the grill, but honestly, stick to the pork items is still your best bet. Btw, prices are still lower than their competitors like always. Yesterday, we went for Father's Day and the family couldn't have asked for a better experience. The service is as good as ever from start to finish, like always. Attentive without being intrusive. Our waitress made sure to always keep our grill stocked with kimchi, garlic, and bean sprouts, which catches the drippings from all the porky goodness in the center part of the inverted circular griddle. I can't express enough how wonderful the service has always been at this establishment. For this day, we had the black pork belly and shoulder, as well as premium pork neck and skin. Maybe the texture of pork skin is not for everyone, but you really can't go wrong with the other three. My favorite today was the belly, but other people preferred the shoulder and neck. Golden brown and crispy outside, juicy and tender on the inside. Dip the meats in one of the three sauces. Then eat it with a lettuce wrap, adding whatever veggies combination you see on the grill and table. One important note, do not leave here without having the Fried Rice at the end of your meal. They take whatever is left on the griddle, add more if necessary, cut it up to smaller pieces, then toss in marinated rice with lettuce and seaweed, based on how many portions you request. You can also add items like egg and Spam if so desired. Btw, each portion is about a small bowl meant for one person. At this point of the meal, you likely won't need that much, so I advise one bowl per two people. Then again, you can ask for more and take home what you don't finish. Just remember to allow the Fried Rice to cook long enough on the griddle that the bottom forms a crispy and crunchy crust. Anyway, if you like pork and looking for a uniquely wonderful experience, then make sure you find this hidden gem that has been making their customers happy for over 20 years now.

Loved it! The pork…read morerib belly and pork neck were delicious. It was a lot of meat and very filling. They grill for you, and it's perfectly tender and juicy. They also add kimchi and bean sprouts on the grill, and you can add fried rice for $6 near the end of the meal. They fry whatever you haven't finished into a fried rice, and it's the highlight of the meal! It's simple and casual inside and not too crowded. The staff are friendly.

I was told that the noodles are homemade, and the texture was chewy but not overly soft. If you get the order to-go, you best eat it ASAP because they do not separate the noodles from the broth. The bowl was filled with a bunch of clams, mussels, one shrimp, zucchini and carrot slices, and potatoes. The clams were flavorless and a little sandy, but the mussels were good. The broth was clear and flavorful, but not overly salty. The seafood pancake was good. Portion size is big, batter very crispy, it's oily but it doesn't feel that way when you eat it. Only con is I wish there was a little more seafood. You are given banchan of freshly fermented kimchi and radish kimchi. I prefer fermented pungent kimchi because I enjoy the sour taste, and though the radish kimchi was really chunky it was on the sweet side, so I wasn't a fan. The staff speaks Korean and Chinese.

I was under the wrong impression that they, along with many other late night spots, had either shortened their hours or simply closed during the pandemic. Being wrong has never felt so great. This place is one of those IYKYK (#1) establishments in that there is no proper storefront, but is located inside of the Hangyang Supermarket (#2) along Northern Blvd. The in-store entrance has the words "HY Food court Snack Corner" which is confusing for first timers but adds a well deserved hidden gem status that it's proud to flaunt. The interior looks somewhat updated, with less dingy tables to group seating and more decor on top of it. The kitchen is constantly active, with dishes constantly being churned out and what I imagine is an endless list of delivery order requests. There is nothing that stands out about food for me, but it's good enough in a pinch. Their kimchi steamed mandoo dumpling was very excent while the other regular panfried mandoo was a tinge mediocre. Their soondubu, japchae, kimbap, and tteokbokki were very mild and average in comparison to what's out there. This is also the location for 92 Chicken, a KFC joint that prepares the food in the very same kitchen. Service isn't the warmest, but they do speak Korean and Mandarin with a limited amount of English. Parking is in a dedicated lot and there is a 3% fee for all credit card purchases.
