A restaurant specializing in tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes). Located a 15-minute walk from Yangwon Station Exit 2. Golgoru Three is 6,000 won. Dumplings + dumplings + dumplings~ This place is a must-try for dumpling lovers! They offer a variety of dishes, including fried dumplings, yaki dumplings, and even flat dumplings. My favorite is the yaki dumplings, but surprisingly, the teppanyaki-style dumplings are also good. However, the flat dumplings might be a bit of a mixed bag. The tteokbokki was made with wheat flour, which gave it a nice texture. The tteokbokki sauce is unique, with a strong pepper flavor! I personally liked it because it was easy to resist and had a unique flavor. If you're tired of the same old tteokbokki, give it a try! The portions are perfect for a quick meal on your own. The pickled radish is self-serve and complements the tteokbokki perfectly. Store & Tips & Overall Review The store isn't small, with two floors, one on the first floor and one on the second floor! There are plenty of tables, making it a great place to dine alone. Order at your table and pay at the counter when you leave. Payment is convenient, as they accept credit cards. I visited at 4:30 PM on a Sunday, and it was relatively quiet. Surprisingly, there are plenty of staff, and perhaps because of this, the food comes out quickly after ordering. I expect the turnover to be decent, even with a lot of customers. They also offer set menus, making it a great place for solo diners.
The pepper-flavored broth tteokbokki is unique. The yakimandu and iron plate dumplings are good.
