Apparently this little truck is famous for their dukbokki. The story goes that a couple of Korean gangsters washed their hands of their gangsterhood and opened up this place. The dukbokki is good and they use real rice cake.
How can I tell? Well, I saw the bag and when you eat it, it’s got a chewer texture than other dukbokki places. It is on the south side of Hongdae near caffe Ti-amo and up from Sangsu station. The guy running the truck looks scary but his food is damn good.

i always go there if i’m around that area! he’s a bit scary looking but who cares?
i once saw this guy take the dukbokki plate to eat elsewhere and the guy started chasing him and yelling at him – gangster style. hahaha, what a sight. :]
Ive had dukbokki several times. Isnt it all made from rice cake? Why would you not use rice cake? is there a cheaper alternative to rice cake?
of course. They’ll put flour in it. Sometimes it’s all flour or it’s a mix. You can tell when you chew
Hmmmm ddukboki is one of my favorite, I prefer flour one though.
I know it’s cheaper and less chewy, still I like it.
Maybe because of old memories of childhood?
Flour ddukboki was common when I was a little girl.
