YUP DDUK LA

Restaurant Spotlight

YUP DDUK LA is a Korean restaurant specialized in their famed ddeokbokki, Korean rice cakes flavored in a sweet and spicy gochujang sauce. Their dishes are served in gargantuan-sized bowls 🥣, a display that would make any foodie cry with glee 🤤. I went with a classic favorite, the House signature original (mild)  topped with mozzarella cheese. I am used to spice, but even I will say I was taken aback when I tried the mild. The spice definitely packs a punch! I will warn that this may not be the best option for our friends with a delicate palate.

Come hungry! Despite wanting to eat the whole bowl, my sister helped me eat half of it WITH leftovers to spare.
