Why We Recommend It

Hwa Tteok is famous for its Gorgonzola pizza baked directly from the fire pot. The prices are reasonable compared to the deep flavor and taste, and it's a restaurant frequently visited by Koreans.

There is a unique menu called salad pasta. Its taste is sweet and sour due to the salad, so it's not greasy at all.

Tteokbokki is instantly cooked. It includes ramen, cellophane noodles, rice cake, quail egg, fried seaweed roll, and fried dumplings.

Our Visit

If you visit the Hwa Tteok during the peak hour of lunch/dinner time, there is a high possibility that you have to wait in line. If possible, we recommend you visit when it's not the peak hours. This place is so famous that it's always full of people. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to go at a time when it was comparably unbusy, so we got to sit immediately. Signatures of famous celebrities were hung all over the wall so we assumed that it is popular even amongst celebs.

1L Ade (8,000 KRW) is available in many flavors. There is grapefruit, blueberry, grape, and strawberry flavor, so you can choose according to your taste. The quantity is 1L, so it was enough for two people!

Gorgonzola Pizza (16,500 KRW) was freshly baked in the fire pot. As soon as we smelled baked bread and cheese, my saliva was stimulated. The pizza was abundant with cheese but it wasn't at all salty. Dip it in honey and you will taste the flavor of heaven. The combination of nuts, stretched cheese, chewy dough, and sweet honey was absolutely perfect. The stretched cheese was too beautiful that we couldn't resist taking photos!

In the Tteokbokki set, (27,600 KRW) there was plenty of ramen, cellophane noodles, quail egg, fried seaweed roll, fried dumplings, and sesame leaves. We didn't need to order extra menus. Also, you can control the degree of spiciness when you order. We like the texture of ramen noodles before it's completely boiled. So when the ramen was boiled to some extent, we ate ramen along with a fried dumpling that was soaked in the spicy sauce. We could see that Hwa Tteok serves an abundant amount compared to other Tteokbokki restaurants. If you get a little spicy with the tteokbokki, then you should get a bite of gorgonzola pizza. It was the most ideal combination.

Salad Pasta (8,500 KRW) was way better than expected! Croutons and blueberries are scattered on the top, although you can't see it well in the picture below. We mixed the pasta noodles and salad and rolled it onto my fork for my first bite! It was more delicious than we had expected! The crispness of the croutons and juicy blueberries and the freshness of the vegetables were all combined for the best taste. Also, the sweet and sour dressing went well with the pasta. We highly recommend this menu.
