On 10/7/2025 Calista Fynaardt had this to say:
I ordered tteokbokki and the pork buns! Best tteokbokki I've ever had, and the buns were on FIRE!!! Absolutely amazing! Definitely will be one of my regular spots to stop for food on my trips to des moines. I did order shrimp in my tteokbokki and it was missed and they corrected it by making me a whole new order. I even told them they didnt have to, and id take just the shrimp, but theh insisted. Couldn't ask for better service over a small miss. Absolutely will be back!❤️❤️❤️❤️
