About This Spot
Stepping into Escape Ttopokki feels like slipping into a vibrant yet comfortably casual corner of Korean comfort food. The atmosphere hums with quiet energy—inviting and unpretentious—where the joy truly comes from gathering around bowls of simmering ttopokki, crafting your own flavor combinations, and sharing in the simple pleasure of hands-on dining. This isn’t just a place for a meal; it’s a moment of connection, whether you’re dining solo or with friends eager to explore every spice level and ingredient on offer.

I was honestly shocked this place wasn’t super busy when I went in. I’m vegan and can confirm there are tons of vegetarian options, although the only vegan proteins are mushrooms. The waitress helped me with what foods I could have and which to avoid. I came here by myself, but definitely want to come back with a group!! Leaving super full and satisfied. Do not walk, run to this place! :)

There are quite a lot of options for the ayce meal and the staff is very friendly. You can experiment with the sauce mix but there's also a handy guide available if you want to keep it simple

Been wanting to go here since it opened up, ever since my trip to Korea where they have this kind of style of ayce ttopokki. I like the wide selection of rice cakes they have available, especially the sweet potato ones, and the build your own flavor powder was unique. There's a good selection of appetizers to keep you eating and to help cancel out all the carbs you consume from just rice cakes. I went here over the weekend, so it's all day dinner price of $20 per person. I like all the fish balls and fish cakes and really makes a complete meal. Oh yeah, they also have a mini ramen library which comes included so we can enjoy all the shin ramen while we are here. Place is a bit small, but the servers do a good job here. Would like to come back again!

Everything is awesome. So miss Korean Ttopokki and they have authentic one! You can adjust the spicy, put all ingredients you like. Side dishes like kimbok, fried vegetables were good. But Fish cake kind of mushy. $15.99 - Weekday Lunch $19.99 - Weekday Dinner & Weekend

first time going in today and the people running this place really care about their customers. They thoroughly explained how the process works and accommodated us with assistance throughout the process. I love rice cakes and this place had a variety you dont see most places. I think ordering the cheese wouldve made it even better but left full and satisfied with the experience.

I had a great time at this Korean tteokbokki buffet! There were so many sauce options and a wide variety of rice cakes, meats, shrimp, and more. It was both fun and delicious to customize my own bowl. The service was also very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing first time experience and for sure ate my moneys worth!!! The vibe was so nice and our waitress was so sweet. I loved the options of spicy levels for the soup base. The side dishes were my boyfriend’s favorite. I will most definitely be eating there soon again!!!

The 족발 here is absolutely delicious! The portion size is generous, and the flavors are perfectly balanced—tender, savory, and full of rich taste. What makes it even better is the 떡볶이 buffet! It’s such a fun and interactive experience to make your own customized bowl, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal. If you’re looking for great food and a unique dining experience, this place is a must-try!
