Eating Korean Walnut Pastries at Toronto’s Hodo Kwaja | Eater

"In Toronto, a longtime shop has been specializing in hodu-gwaja (walnut cakes) for over 26 years, offering a nostalgic snack whose caramelized batter and red-bean aroma evokes windy, chilly Korean autumns. The pastries are often handed in white paper bags to keep them warm; the classic red-bean filling remains a favorite, while an equally sweet mashed-potato filling is also available and just as satisfying. Authentic hodu-gwaja is rare in North America, making this spot a cherished find for both visitors longing for those childhood flavors and newcomers." - Eater Video

My goodness, the staff here are SO nice! Always friendly and making sure you’re safe and enjoying your order. And the walnut cakes are delicious. I brought some for my friends and they absolutely loved it. I could eat the for the rest of my life, I swear. Please do yourself a favour and support this business!

Very cute Korean cafe that's been in the neighborhood for 30+ years. They make really hearty sweet snacks such as the walnut cakes, chun byung, and if you are lucky, freshly made pancakes. I grew up eating a lot of pastries with a sweet beans paste filling. Never had I think of using mashed potato as an alternative. It's pretty cool, and I would never guess that it was potato. My favorite was the chun byung. So simple, but with the different flavors, every bite was a lovely surprise. I just wish I had bought more. Interesting that even with the amount of Korean businesses in NYC, I've never seen a shop that's quite like this. If there's anything to complain, I have to say that the oil is becoming a little rancid, and you can really taste it in the pancake when served hot.

On a cold and windy day, the brown sugar Korean pancake was perfect! Made fresh to order ~ I tried a mix of the walnut cakes, and they were all tasty, not too sweet! The waffle cookies half slices of almonds, very crispy. The Madelines were a perfectly fluffy texture. Everything was worth a try! Will definitely be going back 😋

Place just feels so homey, and the family working there is so kind! The walnut cakes are the perfect winter treat, nicely-priced, piping hot, not too sweet, and packed with yummy filling. Just watch out before you eat too many of them, they are addicting!

Hodo Kwaja is such a cozy and welcoming little spot! The shop feels super clean and has a warm, homey vibe that makes you want to stay a while. I tried the red bean sherbet — so refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. I also couldn’t resist the walnut cakes, and wow — they were freshly made, warm, and full of flavor. You can really taste the care they put into their food. A perfect little place for a sweet treat!

Excellent quality across all their products. I’ve been coming here since 2007, and everything I’ve purchased has consistently exceeded expectations. They never disappoint. I highly recommend this place—every item is worth trying
