Jaws Topokki

chicken is good for less than $5. asked for a side of chicken. Basically the cheapest chicken here. It was seasoned and deep fried though so if that’s not your thing I understand. But this was good for not having ate yet today.

The bulgogi rice bowl at $12 tastes good and looks appetizing. The rice in the bowl was also very good. It’s a better deal in this food court.

This is my first time eating this type of Korean food. We tried the friend set 1. The tteokbokki I really liked. It was flavorful and the noodles were soft. It came in a big bowl so you might be able to share it with 3 people. It came with fried tempura and noodle type dumpling. That was ok, not much taste on it. The Korean sausage was a little bland for me. They package it very nicely and service was quick. So for me, I would would come back for the tteokbokki but not the other two. Next time I will try the sushi they have.

The food over here was pretty good, but there were limited selections, and the rose topokki I ordered was a little too hot. (but I loved the taste). The kimbap was also good too and I love how the food court has a lot of tables!

I don't typically care enough to leave negative reviews on restaurants, but this one was rough. The whole staff seems to be undertrained. Long story short, I ordered just a chicken teriyaki rice bowl. 40 minutes later, I finally received a soggy little handful of chicken pellets and watered down rice.

Tteokbbokki is the best. San Diego doesn't have a specialist spot (good enough) to outduel this international juggernaut. The pricing is reasonable and the older folks say it invokes flavors of their childhood... Hard to argue with. Only gripe is that sometimes they don't quite execute the side dishes like the gimbap or bloodsausage as consistent as they could. Despite that, it's still our go-to, any day!

Bulgogi Gimbap is my favorite. Good quality ingredients!

Enjoyed a wonderful meal at JAWS!! The topokki was deliciously spicy and had a great mix of flavors. The atmosphere was casual and inviting, and the staff was very attentive. A great spot for a satisfying topokki experience!
