"Houston’s location of Dookki, the first in the U.S., is pretty significant. Part of a larger Korean chain that has more than 350 locations around the world, mostly in Southeast Asia, the all-you-can-eat restaurant offers a more modern spin on tteokbokki, a traditional meal of chewy rice or wheat cakes that are simmered in a broth mixed with spicy and sweet sauces, vegetables, and other ingredients. Inspired by how a younger generation of diners likes to eat, Dookki’s 90-minute all-you-can-eat experience also offers a buffet of fried foods for dunking, like fried chicken and sweet potato cakes, plus the option to offer a cheese dipping sauce for extra creaminess." - Brittany Britto Garley
