Jopok Topokki

This is the latest addition to the Hmart food court. It's a street food chain from Korea, specializing in topokki, fried items, and kimbap.We ordered:- Rose Topokki: The topokki arrived topped with two mandu, fried fish cakes, and half an egg. The sauce was creamy, slightly sweet, and perfectly spicy. The rice cakes were cooked to the perfect texture, just a little chewy.- Homemade Fried Set: We didn't really know what to expect from this, so we were delighted when a massive assortment of fried food arrived for us. The set includes fried seaweed rolls, sweet potatoes, assorted vegetables, dumplings, and imitation crab. I loved dipping the fried items into the topokki sauce! I saw some reviews complaining that it's oily, but it's a basket of fried food, what did you expect?I also ordered kimbap here when they first opened, and it was pretty standard, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're getting it to dip in the topokki sauce.I felt like I was in a Korean street food compilation video on YouTube when I was eating here. I do have to say it is quite a lot of food for 1 or 2 people, so keep that in mind when ordering. I think this would be a great option if you're coming in a large group to Hmart and want an appetizer! I only wish they served soju here too.

Jopok Topokki, located in the Hmart food hall, is a solid spot to try a variety of Korean dishes. We went for the rose topokki with added ramen, spicy ramen, and tuna kimbop, and overall, everything was pretty good. The rose topokki came in a huge portion, definitely enough to share, and the creamy, spicy sauce was rich and flavorful. The ramen added a nice touch, though it did soak up a bit too much of the sauce, making it a bit heavy toward the end. The spicy ramen, on the other hand, was just your typical instant ramen--nothing too special but satisfying if you're in the mood for something quick. The tuna kimbop was surprisingly good, with fresh ingredients and a nice balance of flavors. The kimchi spam fried rice was also pretty good but it could've used a little more kimchi in it.Service was quick, and we appreciated how fast the food came out, but like others have mentioned, the cashier wasn't the friendliest. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it did stand out. Overall, Jopok Topokki is a great option for a quick meal in the food hall with a nice variety of dishes. Would recommend it, especially if you're in the mood for some tasty topokki or kimbop!

Got the Egg Ramen (#20) was fantastic and exactly what I wanted on a cold day. Hit the spot 5/5 however the fried dumplings (C-15) were very bad. Tasted like pure oil and not good at all. With the dipping sauce it got worse 1/5. Skip the app, get the soup!

The portion is bigger than I thought!We got the Rose Topokki and it was also my first time having it. It tasted similar to Buldak Carbonara (creamy, slightly tart), the only difference was it was not spicy. Soft and chewy rice cakes, 2 fried dumplings, sausages, half an egg, and some thinly sliced fried fish cake pieces. It's inside HMart Market Eatery which has their own mini water fountain. I would recommend bringing your own water bottle. Service was straightforward, however wait time was pretty longer compared to other stalls. Not sure what i was expecting, probably a creamier dish, but I don't think I'm a Rose girl. Will come back for other dishes here.

We tried the Rose Topokki for the first time and it was okay. It's creamy and not spicy - reminds me of Buldak carbonara sauce - sweet and slightly tangy. The rice cake is a bit soft to my preference. It has 2 dumpling, half an egg, some fish cake and topped with fried fish cake on top. This place is located inside Hmart Market Eatery.Wait time was a bit long on the night we came and they were not busy at that time. Not sure if it's normally slow or just that day. I'd come back to try their traditional topokki next time.

It was alright. I got the classic topokki. The rice cake was not soft enough. There were barely any toppings. The sauce is decent. The cashier who took my order was not the friendliest either. I go to this food court pretty often, I'm not sure if I'll go back to this place though.

Counter service in HMart, I was looking for something quick and grabbed a couple Kimbaps. I wasn't a fan of the spicy bulgogi kimbap but the kimchi kimbap was good out of the two. Wrapped neatly with little rice which was nice.On the pricier side, the most I've ever spent on kimbap.The customer service was nonexistent.Like they couldn't be bothered.Just a quick transaction.

Counter service inside Hmart. Loud environment because of the the people inside- but on to the food--spicy chewy noodle- lot of veggies type but the noodle were like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack. The sauce was so strong- I literally took a few bites and dispose of it.Kimbab - could use more flavor but if you are looking for well wrapped pieces without a lot of rice, this is your place. Id tried the rice cakes before and those are pretty good.

Part Two of my H-Mart weekend journey...My partner and I also ordered from this eatery when here as well.I love some good street food! Tteokbokki is probably the most well-known Korean street snack in Korea. You can see mini vans or carts that sell it on the street. Tteok-bokki or stir-fried rice cakes is a popular Korean food made from small-sized garae-tteok (long, white, cylinder-shaped rice cakes) called tteokmyeon. The classic preparation of tteokbokki is to boil the cylindrically shaped cakes and eat them coated in a red sauce of chile paste, fermented bean paste, soy sauce, and sugar, topped liberally with sesame seeds. Fish cakes, boiled eggs, and scallions are some of the most commonly added ingredients. It can be seasoned with either spicy gochujang (chili paste) or non-spicy ganjang (soy sauce)-based sauce; the former being the most typical form, while the latter is less common and sometimes called gungjung-tteok-bokki (royal court tteok-bokki). The tteokbokki sauce is what gives this dish taste. The texture of this dish was on point and quite chewy and soft. The sauce for this dish had a kick and notes of hot pepper flakes and paste. The portion size here was generous and more than what would be offered up at a street cart. Shrimp KimbapKimbap is made with cooked rice and ingredients such as meat and vegetables rolled in seaweed. This Korean dish brings together shrimp, fresh vegetables, and seasoned rice, all expertly rolled into a bite-sized treat. For those who are curious, kimbap and sushi look alike, but they are indeed different. Kimbap, a Korean dish, uses sesame oil and sometimes sugar to season its rice, and the fillings are usually cooked or pickled. Sushi, a Japanese dish, uses vinegar-seasoned rice and often features raw fish. These Kimbap were on the drier side. In general, shrimp kimbap can taste dry if it doesn't have enough sauce, which was the case here.

We knew about this place by accident through Uber. Last month while we were waiting for our dog at the emergency room (close to the restaurant radius), we found them on Uber so decided to check out their food and they didn't disappoint! They have the best tteokbokki in town (not sweet like other places I've tried). FOOD: Since then we have stopped by a couple times now. Everything was so delicious! So far, we have had their:1. Cheese Topokki - delicious, their rice cakes had the perfect chew, and the sauce was not sweet like most places. 2. Rose Topokki - I recommend get their rose Topokki (YOU NEED IT!!!!) which is my favorite as it was so creamy, delicious, and with a bit of a kick!3. Kimbap (bulgogi) - it's so delicious with so many textures & flavors, but be warned they fall apart easily. 4. Homemade fried set (L) - loved it! There were so many pieces of squid & I loved the sweet potato & Kimari (fried seaweed rolls)! 5. Triangle kimbap (bulgogi & kimchi) - they were really good (paired well with Jjampong from Narrow street 512 next door)! 6. Soondae (Korean sausage with intestines & Korean sausage only) - their Korean sausage was seasoned nicely and the casing was soft (easy to eat). I normally got Soondae from other Korean bbq place but they no longer sell it and their casing was difficult to chew anyway. This place's casing is a lot better & softer). I also liked the intestines minus livers as they were overcooked.This restaurant is located in the H Mart food court. There are plenty of seating inside the food court. The staff (or the owner I'm not sure as she's always there when we come) was friendly and completed our orders promptly. Unfortunately, their prices are pretty high for just snacks full of carbs (with barely any protein there) in my opinion. Overall, you can count on them when you crave some Korean street food! We will be coming back or stopping by to check out other items on their menu!
