![YUP DDUK and RICE BALL [DIY] and GRILLED PORK BULGOGI](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/37Q62vTV-MBcW6O7Bkg2ug/258s.jpg "YUP DDUK and RICE BALL [DIY] and GRILLED PORK BULGOGI")
Came here with two of my friends and we absolutely devoured the regular yup dduk, which consisted of ramyun noodles, rice cakes, fish cakes, sausages, and topped with green onion and mozzarella. On the side, we also got some fried veggies (onion rings & kabocha & sweet potato), grilled pork bulgogi, and DIY rice balls. We had fun making the rice balls and eating our creations! The fried veggies were definitely my favorite. It's a pretty heavy meal overall so definitely bring your appetite. Service was quick, as it was a fast casual kind of environment.
Service was okay this time, food is good as always. We got the Yup O which we prefer over the original.
Yupdduck is a must try if you enjoy spicy food! It is very popular amongst UCI students as it is near campus. I have tried many of their dishes and I always come back for more! I especially like their extra mild Yup O (more fishcake than rice cake) with chinese noodle and veggie fries! The noodles have a nice bouncy texture and absorbs the sauce well. The veggie fries pair well with the spice and have a nice crunch and fried batter flavor. I also crave the Chicken Stew, but can only eat a little at a time due to how spicy it is... Their lowest spice for this dish is mild, however it is extremely spicy! It comes with a lot of boned-in chicken pieces that are tender and rich in flavor. They also have many options that aid in cutting the spice. My personal go-to is the Tuna Mayo Rice, which comes with radish and seaweed. The combo of the bowl is so good, and it comes in a pretty large portion so it could be a meal within itself. The service at Yupdduck is really good. The servers checked up on my table intermittently for water and radish refills. In the end, they gave out Yakult for a little treat! I highly recommend trying Yupdduck and testing your spice tolerance!!
Located in Albertsons Plaza, near UCI Irvine. Love this place. The thing to know, is this is the spiciest chain for all Tteokbokki places. - Very mild - is like 7/10 spicy, think buldak carbonara - Mild is like 8/10, building to 9 spicy, running nose, almost tears or some may get tears, think buldak black - Original is 10/10 spicy, on fire, ears ringing, tears, head on fire, tongue and throat on fire, like Buldak 2X - Extra Spicy - I can't even imagine, someone take this torture and report back please, because I don't want to go to the hospital or be out of commission for 2 days I got the original Yup Dduk tteokbokki bowl. It is 4 portions, or 4 meals for me. It depends on how much you eat. This comes with mozarella cheese on top, fishcake, 2 sausages and plenty of ricecake and some kimchi. Love love love! They make it super fresh, so don't get this when you're in a rush, it may take 15-20 minutes. A plus they sell soju! See my togo order.
Came here for dinner last week. It's definitely a small restaurant but good food. Great flavor! We ordered the extra mild yup duk and rice balls. You roll the rice balls yourself which was fun. The extra mild yup duk still had a kick. Definitely would not have been able to handle anything spicier but has great flavor. Service was good and I enjoyed the food. Would definitely come back.
One of my fav spots to get tteokbokki. Be careful of the spice levels but if you're willing to endure the heat, you're in a for delicious Korean favorite! Decided to visit after craving something spicy. We ended up ordering a mild yup dduk which is their standard tteokbokki bowl with fish cakes, sausage cabbage, and topped with cheese. We also added some dumplings into the bowl. Warning that mild is SPICY. I'd compare it to the Korean fire buldak noodles so if you can't handle that, start off at extra mild or getting the rosé version. What ever you choose, the sauce is very flavorful with a good sweet and spicy taste! Feel free to add extra toppings for variety! Service was fast and if you need anything you can walk up and ask for them to help you. The shop is small inside but you can dine outside if you want. Great spot for my fav Korean street food!
I was looking for a place to warm up from the rain while killing time in Irvine and this was the place. It is a small place that delivers big flavors! There are signs everywhere that foreshadow big spice here and you should believe them. But you can personalize the spice level and there are many things to do to help with the spice. I went for the core set that comes with the Yup Dduk. I was going to order original but the waitress said even that is really spicy so I went with mild. It came with veggie fries (like a slightly more sturdy and seasoned tempura batter) and a bowl of rice to form into rice balls (I that they give you a plastic glove to keep your fingers clean). I love that the veggie fries were served right in the bowl so they got some of the amazing sauce too. The bowl is huge and could serve between 2-4 people since I went with the Yup Dduk (more rice cake than fish cake) option. The flavors were so delicious and the heat was enough to make my nose run and I could feel it lingering on my tongue but not aggressively. Here's what helped cool my tongue: cheese swirled on top, yellow sweet pickled radishes served on the side, rice and seaweed because I ate them separately, banana milk, and the cold water. Next time though I want to try to make rice balls and stick them in the sauce too. I will absolutely be back and want to try other things on the menu - and will bring a friend to help me finish the bowl. But I have loved these left overs and learned to steam while reheating in the microwave so the rice cakes stay soft and chewy (but yeah, nothing beats when they are first served). I was surprised how quickly I got full and the little fizzy yogurt drink that they give you helped create space in my stomach so I just felt full, not stuffed.
Food: Yup Dduk (Extra Mild) Core Set Price: $42 Overall: Came around 3pm and we were able to get seated immediately (restaurant has limited seating). Been here a few times and although I have good spice tolerance, the worker reminded us that extra mild is preferable and mild is pretty spicy. Extra mild was delicious, with minimal spice and it paired well with the DIY rice balls. We shared the meal amongst 4 people and it was perfect!
This was my first time trying rose yuk o and also my first time at the irvine location. Their rice cakes are as good as I remember from korea town location. I like that rose sauce is creamy and very very mild. It is good for those who cannot take spicy food. Both their rose sauce and regular sauces are very good. Yuk Duuk is definitely one of my favorite places for tteokbokki hands down. Their toppings are added bonus. The restaurant itself was pretty small with only 5tables but there are more outdoor community tables. Great for a casual hangout spot. It took about 15-20 mins to get food, so it may be a good idea to order ahead through their app for to go orders.
Loveee Yupdduk. I used to frequent the K-town LA location when I went to school there and loved eating there, so I'm glad that I'm able to drive to Irvine to get my fix. The restaurant is pretty small with 5-6 tables so expect a long wait during peak hours. Service is pretty friendly and the workers check in on you maybe once or twice. If you need to take your food to-go, they'll pack your food for you and bring it back to your table. I usually order the yup dduk with cellophane noodles at the mild spice level, which includes a generous amount of rice cake, fish cake, some sausages, and cabbage, while topped off with a thick swirl of cheese. The rice cakes are cooked to perfection and are nicely soft and chewy. The cellophane noodles have a nice bounce and soak up the sauce, so eating the noodles can get pretty spicy. My spice tolerance is decently high so mild is the perfect spice level for me. Don't get me wrong though--mild still gets my nose runny. The radish on the side does help with reducing the spice. The portion is huge and can serve 2-3 people, but I did notice that the portion size has gone down recently, which is a bummer. I still always leave stuffed nonetheless.
Yupdduk is a SoCal staple for tteokbokki, I love going to this spot to share the large combo sets with a group of friends. It is right by UCI, and has a couple tables inside available for dining in, but most people do takeout. I'd recommend splitting one of the combo sets with a group of 3-4, you get the main tteokbokki and some rice balls and tempura to complement the meal. I'd recommend getting extra mild if you're not a spice person as their mild is decently spicy already. The mozzarella cheese and rice balls do help a lot to offset the spiciness so I highly recommend adding those on. I love how the sauce isn't too sweet like some places and portion sizes were plentiful for my group.
I ordered the extra mild rice cakes and this time it wasn't as spicy as last time. But it didn't have the same kick that it did last time. They only gave us 3 sausages this time which I thought last time they gave us more. The fried veggies and seaweed rolls were good. Still really good, I'd come back read more

If you like spicy, then you'll like this place! The menu gives you lots of warnings about how spicy the food is and they're serious. I've tried the two lower levels and find both of them delicious. If you want mild though, go for the lowest level of spiciness possible. There's an option to get more fish cake instead of rice cake that I prefer and I also like adding on the veggie fries, which are actually vegetable tempura. Only downside here is that the service is spotty. I've sat outside twice at the table right next to the entrance and one person there was happy to do table service and the next time, they said it'll be considered takeout. Not a big deal though. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE YUPDDUK! My favorite Korean ddukbokki place in OC and the Irvine location didn't disappoint. It was my first time at the Irvine location and I noticed the inside didn't have a lot of seating but there is outside seating to make it better. The service is super fast and friendly, and they blast kpop music and videos to keep you entertained. My boyfriend and I got the combo set C (our usual) and we got extra mild because he doesn't do spice well, but he still really enjoyed it without destroying his stomach. Portions are so large that we couldn't finish it and took it to-go for a midnight snack. Come here if you're craving good Korean ddukbokki! read more

The heat is DELICIOUS. Their spice is no joke - MILD IS ACTUALLY SPICY. Mild is fun and tolerable; you can still enjoy the tasty flavors beyond the sting! Yup dduk includes rice cakes, fish cakes, sausages, and mozzarella cheese in a fiery red sauce. Portions are large. Flavors and textures are on point. I highly recommend adding cellophane noodles! They're clear, wide noodles that have a nice chewiness. Also, I like to pair the yup dduk with an order of tuna mayo rice for a nice balance between hot and cold! The tuna mayo rice absolutely relieves my mouth from the fire and tastes delightful. I've had the Jjajang (black bean sauce) version here before, and it was also yummy. However, the original yup dduk sauce is superior! The painful wait time is worth the painful bliss! Every time I visit, the restaurant is always packed with a 30+ minute wait time. Food also takes a long while to prepare. Sometimes, workers will even take our order before we're seated. Thus, I recommend figuring out what you want to order before you even get there. The restaurant is situated in a large plaza near UCI with lots of parking available. The store itself is small with indoor and outdoor seating. Yup Dduk has a casual ambiance, kind workers, good service, slow food preparation, but, most importantly, yummy memories! read more

I'm not sure what I was doing here lol! This place has been bookmarked for a while, so I wanted to check it out. Once I sat down, I was scared after looking at the menu. All the warnings about the spice level had me ready to run out the door (I always ask for non spicy for everything!). I really wanted to try something new, so we decided on getting the extra mild Yup O (had more fish cakes than rice cake) plus the fish cake soup. The reviews on Yelp warned me that extra mild was spicy so I knew what to expect. They don't make anything less than extra mild (I did ask). The dish was quite large, perfect for sharing. I enjoyed the cheese on top, and the rice cakes and fish cakes were tasty. As expected, it was too spicy lol even for my boyfriend, who can tolerate spice pretty well. I was still able to eat a few pieces of the rice cake/fish cakes and 1 small sausage. The fish cake soup was mostly soup and didn't have a lot of fish cake, but it was tasty because it was not spicy. After eating all the fish cake and vegetables in the soup, we dipped the rice cake/fish cake from the Yup O in the soup to make it less spicy. We ended up taking most of the Yup O home (hopefully it will taste even better once diluted and with rice!). Overall, it was a unique experience and pretty tasty. We are just wimps when it comes to spicy food! read more

Yo definitely a place to share your food with friends!!! Food was tasty and yummy just beware even mild hot is still spicy and I'm a brown girl telling u this The space inside is small and you'd think for food that's meant to be shared it'd be a bigger space??? Idk that part was annoying Other than that service and food are worth it! You gotta try the famous yyupduk bowl!!! read more

Yupdduk Irvine now has mala yupdduk! It does have the strong mala taste which is just perfect for me.

All the side menu were tasty as well - I highly recommend the fried seaweed because it goes along so well. read more

10/10 - b set yupp-o Yup dduk is a classic comfort food spot for when you need something spicy! Definitely beware that the spice levels here do not play (as someone who can usually handle spice, anything above mild here is pushing it). Also note that one portion is probably good for about 3-4 people, so bring your friends! Definitely prefer going to the one in Irvine over the one in Koreatown since there is usually less of a wait and service is much quicker. Very casual and chill place to hangout with your friends for a spicy bite! read more

I've wanted to try this place for so long and it was so good! It's super spicy though - we got mild and it was still pretty spicy for us. We ordered the B set that came with spicy rice cakes, fish cakes, and fried veggies. The rice cakes were so perfectly chewy and the cheese complimented the spiciness so perfectly. It also has a few mini sausages which were so delicious! My favorite of the set was the rice balls with seaweed that you make on the side. Dipping it in the sauce was so good! I just went but I'm already craving this place again! read more

One of my favorite comfort Korean foods! Service was excellent, they refilled my water and pickled radish when asked and the place was clean. We got the yuppduk in extra mild. Their spice levels are VERY spicy so be mindful when you order. Extra mild was still a great spiciness level to it, but I can never see myself going higher than that. We also got Rice balls (DIY), you get a glove and mix in the seasoning to form a ball, very fun activity and delicious to eat! We come here whenever we're looking for great comfort food or a quick bite. One bowl can feed about 3-4 people. Definitely part of my restaurant rotations. read more

Very flavorful, it's been years since I've been here. Got the extra mild and honestly, I was expecting a little bit of spice since I was told that it was going to still have a kick. If you're looking for a little kick, go with mild. The tuna mayo ball is amazing good bang for your buck. read more

My fave tteokbokki spot ever. This place makes it spicy and savory. I like the Yup O since I love fishcakes. They offer 4 different levels of spice. Even their mild is pretty spicy for most. The portions are huge so you can definitely share a bowl. Each starting bowl is $25 and you can add additional toppings. Be sure to add ramen to your bowl. The noodles soak up the sauce really well. Rice balls are also a must here. I love dipping them into the sauce. The restaurant itself is really small with only 4 tables inside. But you can order to go and eat on the tables outside. read more

Been going to Yup Dduk in LA, the one in Cerritos until they changed it, as well as the one in Irvine. Ddukbokki, basically Yup Dduk, has always been my soul food. I remember they were notorious for the huge portions that were shareable between large parties - but the portions are just getting pettier and pettier. It used to fill all the way up to the top but now for the to go orders and as well as for the dine in, the portions are not living up to it anymore. Don't get me wrong, the portion is not tremendously small, but when two people can clean up the bowl when it used to feed four people or there were leftovers to take home - you know there definitely has been a change in the portion. Yes we blame it on the inflation, yes the COVID happened, and so yes there will be butt hurt customers. But with the portions decreasing with reduced quality and service while the price is still $25+ for a bowl is insane. read more

I got to start off with a WARNING: DO NOT GET MILD. I had once visited this place before with friends, but did not remember what we got besides a friend ordering the Challenge level spice...With this in mind, we ordered: Yup Dduk ($24): We ordered mild spice thinking it wouldn't be that bad, but it was BAD. It was so spicy, we had to ask if there was anything the employees could do to help us make it less spicy. They refilled our water, gave us extra cheese, a bowl of hot water, and some stomach protection smoothies to help with the spice after they practically saw me crying... We added deep fried spam ($5), ramen noodles ($3), and chinese flat noodle($4). I was a fan of all these add ons besides the chinese flat noodle, as they were stuck together and a bit hard to eat. I'd have to thank the servers for helping me out and providing all the help they did to help reduce the spice. I definitely will take their advice of ordering extra mild next time. They were overly generous to even provide us the extra cheese and smoothies free of charge. I will definitely be returning, because even though it was so spicy it hurt, the flavor was something I would be back for. Everything was so great, I convinced a few friends to try it out the next day, and they also loved it. Thank you and see you soon, Yup Dduk! read more

Yup Dduk hits the soul with their perfectly spiced tteokbokki! I like to refer to myself as a spice lover and mild was quite spicy for me. I'd compare it to the Sam Yang fire noodles since the sauce targets your tastebuds right away; simply delicious on a cold day. The service is quick and fast despite how small the restaurant is. I love that the cashiers warn customers about how spicy it is, which truly shows that they care that the food is at least enjoyable for everyone. It's quite a cozy spot located in the corner of Campus Plaza- sometimes I even walk there with my friends after class! DIY Rice Ball: 5/5 -Simple yet helpful for when the spice attacks! my friends and I take turns making little rice balls for each other with the provided gloves! Nothing is more comforting than a steamy bowl of rice too. Set B: Yupp O w/fried goods: 5/5 -My group and I typically enjoy fish cakes more than rice cakes so this was perfect! Even with less rice cake to fish cake ratio, the bowl was filled. Portions were worth the price as we tend to get left over for days. read more

The restaurant is located in the same plaza as Albertson's by UCI. Parking spaces are ample even though this location shares the parking lot with other businesses. I ordered take out, but I want to dine in the next time I visit Yup Dduk. Yup O [4/5]: Yup O has more fish cake than rice cake. It also comes with mini sausages, cabbage, and mozzarella cheese. I also added an order of the ramen noodles on the side. I highly recommend adding the ramen noodles because it goes so well with the sauce. For the spice level, I got extra mild and it was spicy enough for me. I would definitely come back again if I'm craving tteokbokki or something spicy! read more

I no longer have to drive to Cerritos to satisfy my spicy dukboki cravings! Yup Dduk recently opened up in Irvine in the past year and I finally found time to try this location out. I arrived at around 3PM on a Friday and the restaurant was completely full. Granted there are only about 3-4 tables. Luckily, there is ample outdoor seating! I ordered a Yup O, veggie fries and cellophane noodles(think jap chae noods). This meal was about $30. I opted for the original spicy and oh man, it is actually very spicy. Not going to lie, my eyes were twitching for a bit after my meal. It was very satisfying though! The veggie fries are a bit different from the Cerritos location. They serve regular onion rings vs. the potato ring I love from that location but overall, I prefer this location due to the customer service and accessibility! read more

We ordered the extra mild Yup O with extra mozzarella cheese and deep fried spam with a side of the tuna mayo rice. Extra mild was great for someone like me who likes spice but doesn't have the best spice tolerance (though you'll need some tolerance to eat at Yup Dduk)! Yup O had more fish cakes than rice cakes, which was the perfect balance for my preferences. It was also my first time here, and the spice level was the right amount of spice, as expected. Service was not bad. The restaurant space is on the smaller side. We got to the restaurant right before another party, and the wait for them would've been another 20-30 minutes, but they ended up doing take out. Ambiance was super casual - the front was playing korean songs and the back was playing spanish songs. Love both types of music but this is definitely a more casual spot. read more

The food here is amazing! Large portions, larger than mine and my boyfriend's heads. The flavors are great, super spicy although we got extra-mild (thank you to the server who recommended it to us), and there was a great amount of toppings. The pork bulgogi was good as well, sweet, salty, and spicy. Then we got the mayo-spam (OMG? So good?!) which was also pretty large! On top of all this, the server was so sweet and attentive and never left us hanging. The inside is a nice interior, small, and cozy. Be careful when you go at night around this time, it's freezing and other guests tend to leave the door wide open. read more

Hello Jani,…
We got the Yup Dduk signature very spicy rice cake with ramen noodles. We got EXTRA MILD SPICE, which was the least spicy option on their menu, and thought it was just right. BEWARE that anything higher is probably really spicy... We added ramen noodles as a topping and it was really good, would definitely recommend adding more toppings as only the rice cakes is a bit plain. The mini sausages that come with the dish are really good, however I wish they gave you more than 3 :( I thought I wouldn't like the mozzarella cheese on top but it was good. It's also funny because when my friend and I arrived we were going to order one dish each but after we finished ordering 1, the waiter started to leave. Seeing our confused faces, she told us that this dish is for 2-3 people, so MAKE SURE TO KEEP THIS IN MIND. There is A LOT of rice cakes in there. As for service, it was quite a long wait: we only got our dish after around 30 minutes. It is a very small restaurant so there were only like two workers. Will definitely be back though! read more

I've been to all the Yupdduk locations - LA, Diamond Bar, and Cerritos (before it changed its name) so of course I had to try the new location in Irvine. We ordered the Yupdduk Set C in original and switched out the dangmyun for the Chinese dangmyun, which is wider and flatter than the regular ones. We also ordered the spam fries because we were curious and one Yocool to share because it can be very spicy. The original is actually really spicy but I love it, even when it is painful and I'm sweating and crying. I love the Yupdduk franchise because it's always been consistent no matter what location I go to. Plus the portions are so huge so you can take it togo and reheat it (WITH MORE CHEESE) for another meal. This location is small, but they have ample outdoor seating (both from the store and the seating in the plaza) so you'll always find a place to eat. Servers are super polite and friendly and were always willing to refill the pickled yellow radish and water for us. read more

Ask the Community - Yupdduk
I see the menu says that the main menu items are prepared with meat-based ingredients. I eat meat but I don't eat pork so I was wondering if the sauce contains pork? Is it possible to have an order that doesn't contain pork? Thanks!
The sauce contains beef seasoning and can't be removed. It doesn't have pork, but our sausages do, so you'll have to request to take those out if you want a pork-free order. Thank you
Are there any tree nuts or peanuts used in the yupdduk?
No we do not! (We have sesame oil and seeds in the kitchen)
Is the tteokbokki gluten free? Can it be made gluten free?
Sorry, it is not gluten free. The rice cakes are wheat flour based.
What comes in the rawmen?
Hi. Ramen is just a topping for our main dish. So it would be justnthe noofle itself.
Is it possible to ask for the Yup Dduk to be made vegetarian with no fish cake and mini sausages? Or does the sauce also contain fish in it?
Hello, the yupdduk sauce is not fully vegetarian. So even if we take proteins out, it wont be completely vegetarian. 🥲
Do they offer vegetarian options?
Hello Wu! Yupdduk Irvine has few vegetarian options and they are mostly side items such as Veggie & Egg Porridge or basic rice balls. Most of the specialty menu items contain meats. Hope this helps!
Does the yup dduk contain any sesame (seeds/oil/paste) in the dish/sauce?
Hi Yupdduk alone does not. But a lot of our other side dishes and main menus have sesame seeds and oil on them!
How much is the meal kit of yup O?
Can you make a reservation to eat there?
Yupdduk Irvine on-site dining experience is only offered in first come first served basis. Rotation is usually fairly quick, and you can always place a togo order ahead and enjoy at many free public picnic tables up front (pro-tip).
Do you use 100% white rice for your rice cakes or are they made with wheat flour?
It is wheat flour based.
Can any item be made with no meat and less sugar?
