Clients reviews about Yupdduk Buena Park

I was beyond excited to hear that Yupdduck finally arrived in the Buena Park & Fullerton area! While many places serve Korean tteokbokki, nothing comes close to the bold and addictive flavors of Yupdduck, to be honest. it’s a legendary brand straight from Korea, and their signature sauce is simply irresistible. Their main specialty is tteokbokki, but what makes it even better is the variety. 4 different flavors, customizable spice levels, and endless topping options to create your perfect dish. Plus, they offer a great selection of Korean side dishes and even special menu items like port cutlet, chicken stew, kimbap etc, def making it a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Korean flavors. I already can't wait to go back and try more dishes. If you love Korean food, this is the spot you don’t want to miss. ~ Ryeong J

I’ve been hearing about this place and their spice levels so had to try out and yup, I went mild and loved it. Enough heat to make it interesting but not too much to overwhelm. Their yup dduk ranges from super mild, mild, original and challenge. Lemme warn you now don’t let the name mild deceive you. It was not mild. 🤣 We also had a side of fried foods, seaweed balls (so fun to get your hands in there and make) and spam mayo rice. Everything was delicious and so fun to eat! The service was attentive and nice even with the shift change. The restaurant itself is small and well kept. I love the minimalist look. All in all I’ll be back to try their other flavors like rose and mala! ~ Kristine

I had an amazing experience at Yupddduk Buena Park! The food was absolutely delicious, with bold and authentic flavors that exceeded my expectations. The portions were generous, and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and attentive, making sure our dining experience was smooth from start to finish. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving high-quality Korean food—I’ll definitely be coming back! ~ Nathan C

Erin was friendly to greet us when coming in and checking in what we need while dining in. The food, teokbokki, was the best I ever tasted. Considering the price, the portion is very generous. I like their tablet system too. Although I needed something, I saw that the server was on the phone. After putting the request in the tablet, another server came right out with what I need. Plenty of parking and everything was perfect! ~ Ryan J

I ordered the Mala Tteokbokki, and it was amazing. However, when I placed my order over the phone and went to pick it up, they made me wait 20 minutes longer than they originally told me. I was pretty upset with their unprofessional handling of the order. But once I got home and tasted it, the great flavor made me overlook all the other issues that had initially dampened the experience. ~ Sungmin K

The food at this place is truly delicious. The clean and tidy atmosphere stands out, and even though they just opened today and seemed quite busy, the staff went above and beyond to serve with care and dedication. The quality of the food and service was excellent, and their effort to prioritize customers was greatly appreciated. This is definitely a place I’d love to visit again! ~ Hansung J

This is one of my favorite places to get spicy Korean rice cakes. They always do such a great job in balancing both flavors of sweet, spicy and savory. I love the generous portions and different selections in flavors. The restaurant is very clean as well as modern. The staff is also very friendly. :) ~ tina t

맛있어요!! 오랜만에 먹는건지는 모르겠는데 맛있어요. 근데 착한맛이 착한맛이 아니에요... 한국의 그 착한맛 느낌은 아니에요 좀 더 매운 느낌 참고 하세요! ~ 김아진

Yupdduk in Buena Park just opened and I was happy to finally visit since I live super close to the new location. We got the original yupdduk Set A and soondae. Everything was delicious and flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. Service was wonderful, our waiter tended to all of our needs promptly. Will be back again soon! ~ Hansol K

Yupdduk is one of my fav tteokbokki places EVER! I've been to the one in LA as well and think the flavor is pretty much the same. The service is also really good and they're very attentive. In general, I get their B set and serves 3-4. It's super good, but I do recommend extra cheese if you like it! Def recommend and rate a 10/10. 😁 ~ Madelynn

The Yupduk is very good! Today, we choose to do the challenge spice level for fun as a group of friends. It was not as spicy as we thought, but the food was still good. Maybe our expectations were too high. Overall, it was good food and the customer service was great as well. The workers were friendly and had a chill vibe. ~ Wilson G

I stopped by the new Yupdduk location in Buena Park today and got the Yup dduk and seaweed rice ball to-go. The spice level was just right—not too spicy—and the portions were generous, leaving me full with leftovers. They even included complimentary dumplings and yogurt drinks, which was a nice bonus. Can’t wait to visit again! Highly recommend! 👍 ~ 로코쀼

Food and service is so good. I had a Yupdduck spice level original but if you are not good with spice I will go extra mild or mild. I highly highly recommend this place. This place is very clean and good service. I would come to this place again for a spicy rice cake. ~ Irene P

We had an amazing first experience thanks to Erin! She was so patient and helpful. She walked us through the menu and answered all of our questions. Thank you Erin, you’re the sweetest! We loved the food and had a great first visit. We will be coming back again to see her soon! <3 ~ Linda G

The perfect blend of spicy sauce and chewy rice cakes! You can customize the spice level to your taste, and the variety of toppings and add-ons make it even more enjoyable. Generous portions and reliable delivery service. The ultimate choice for spicy tteokbokki lovers! ~ Yunho C

이걸 먹고 저희 집 강아지가 맛있다네요 주문도 옆에서 도와주고 키크고 잘생긴 아디다스 수퍼스타 신은 알바생 넘 친절하네요 😃 ~ 강준우

떡볶이 너무 그리웠는데, 오랜만에 먹어보네용!! 미국에서 엽떡이라니..! 좋은 음식과 서비스를 주셔서 감사합니다! ~ Mm M

Sunna & Claire were amazing servers. I came here with my friend and we felt extremely welcomed right when we entered the restaurant. The food was amazing and enjoyable. Would come here again and recommend this place 100%. ~ ethan l

my group got the challenge yupdduk and it was surprisingly not as spicy as we expected. food is still phenomenal and very fairly priced for the portions. (1 bowl with 5 add-ins got the four of us happy and well fed) ~ Patrick S

This place is very welcoming and friendly. Since it was my first time visiting this restaurant I had no idea what to order but the server helped me a lot. As a person who loves spicy food I enjoyed the food as well. Overall 10/10 ~ 이호창

첫날이라 정신이 없으셨나봐요, 메뉴가 잘못 포장 됐네요. 그래도 맛있게 잘먹었습니다. ~ Jam R

The food was delicious and spicy! We got set A for 4 people, and it was pretty decent for us. The shore was big enough with good amount of tables. The server was very sweet too :) ~ Chungs C

Amazing Korean spot. Loved the Tteok-bokki and rice balls. Being from NY bar is high and was definitely exceeded! Will come back again when in LA. Must try! ~ Purvin P
