"Hailing from Seoul, Korea as one of the most popular street food spots, Yup Dduk currently has outposts in both LA’s Koreatown and Irvine. The restaurant is known for its ultra-spicy rice cakes that are made with ttangcho chili peppers sourced from Korea. First-timers should opt for the “extra mild” spice level but don’t shy away from loading up on the toppings and sides. The large bowls are enough to feed up to three and come with an amalgam of rice cakes, fish cakes, sausages, cabbage, and green onion, and are topped with mozzarella for that iconic cheese pull." - Cathy Park

Went to Irvine location since I live in OC. I love Korean food. We ordered Fried Garlic Soy Chicken thigh so flavorful. Also a set of Yup O, it had rice cake, sausages, fish cake, cabbage and cheese. And the set came with seaweed rice and veggies fried tempura. My favorite place to go for this type of Korean food. Staffs were very nice. It’s a hole in the wall restaurant but good food and clean place.

This is hands down my favorite tteokbokki spot—I come here all the time, and it’s always on point! The flavors are incredible. The food is comforting, portions are generous (perfect for sharing!), and it’s super affordable. The staff are always so friendly, which makes the experience even better. Plus, you can get 50% off when you order through their app. Highly recommend this place!

Food is good. Very spicy even at the "mild' level. Indoor seating capacity 24.

I’m 33 weeks pregnant, and I was really craving Yupdduck, which I used to eat in Korea. I ordered it even though it was quite far—about an hour away—but I have no regrets! I truly enjoyed it. Thank you so much!

Super quick service, and the flavor hits home every single time!! Huuuge portion, like you could have 2-3 people share the tteokbokki alone and be super full I think. I’ve always gotten sides with the tteokbokki but have never managed to finish even with a group of 4 to be honest… speaking of, the tuna mayo rice is our favorite! We tried their soondae this time too which was pretty yummy. But honestly, beware.. it might be spicier than you think haha we always get the medium but I would compare it to an almost buldak/fire noodles spicy personally. Also?! We ordered to-go and ate it like an hour and a half later but the food was still hot?! Magic

When they say mild is very spicy... believe them. Everything tasted great! It's very cozy inside, so be prepared to rub elbows with your neighbor. Down to try it again, but a milder version lol

I liked the flavor of their food even though I was wasted by the spiciness but I just the meal should have more ingredients

If you can handle insanely spicy, head sweating, nose running…then you can eat here. I ordered chicken stew mild and it was too spicy to eat. Had to discard more than half of it because of the sheer torture. They should change the “mild” spice description to “extremely spicy”.
