Reviews
Haven't been here in a few years! So excited to be back! Parking: Free parking lot. There's a very small plaza, so finding a spot can be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They still have a small indoor space with a good amount of indoor seating and no outdoor seating. All booths accommodate large groups. Always loved the vibe here. We visited right before their dinner rush at 18:30-19:00. Service: Shout out to Yoon and all the other servers for being attentive, quick, & efficient! If there's a wait, join the waitlist via the tablet outside. There was no wait when we visited, so a worker seated us immediately. Foods & drinks: 1) Large Katsu Chicken, Curry, & Rice + Tteokbokki - This was part of one of their combos. Their large Katsu chicken blew up on socials, so of course I had to try it. This was definitely large and extra crissspppyyy. The curry paired well with the Katsu. The Tteokbokki is as I remembered! It was spicy and fulfilling. LOTS of rice cakes, fish cakes, sausages, corn dogs, & cabbages. 2) Bulgogi Garlic Fries - Exactly what it sounds like. Bulgogi and garlic fries. This was huge! There was a generous amount of bulgogi and cheese. The fries were cooked well. Though the garlic taste was overpowered by cheese and bulgogi. 3) Yogurt Soju - Happy hour BOGO free any soju or beer! Perfect drink to go along with these comfort foods! 4) Limade and Pineapple Juice - These were refreshing and citrusy! Pricing: EVERYTHING is shareable at least between 2-4 people! Definitely worth its price!
Luv Dduk is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving spicy rice cakes! I come here all the time, and it never disappoints. The mild spice level is perfect--still has a good kick without being overwhelming. Portions are generous, and I typically share one order between 3-4 people, which makes it a great spot for a casual meal with friends. If you're a tteokbokki fan, this place is a must-visit!
Came with a group of 6 from meetup. We decided to order family style and share the dishes. Fried chicken, Korean barbecued beef and garlic bulgogi beef with noodles. Sides of fried seaweed and cheese corn. Everything was cooked fresh and came out hot. Service was friendly and efficient. From seating us to taking our order, delivering the food, and collecting the check. For the 6 of us the total came out to $130, including tax and tip. So $22 per person. I'd return, next time I'd like to try the garlic wings.
A little pricey but great Korean food in the area. Luv Dduk specializes in simple Korean foods such as fried chicken, katsu and fried rice. I came over the weekend for lunch with one other person. There wasn't a wait during lunch time but it was busy. We only shared the army stew ($30) which was a large hot pot that we didn't finish with some left overs. The stew was super flavorful and I liked that it had plenty of meats (sausages, spam, sausages). It was pretty good and worth the price. The inside of this place is very casual. It's great for small or larger groups. It can get pretty busy during dinner on the weekends. Since it's small there may be a wait. The staff was very nice and the food came out fairly quickly. Bowls and plates are all disposable. I liked that waters and everything you need is brought out so you don't really need to flag them for anything. I would come back and I want to try the bogolgi fries.
absolutely worth the wait!!! we got the corn cheese(7/10), bulgolgi cheese fries (10/10), and spicy chicken (10/10). it can be a little confusing for your first time so let me help you out. your first going to join the waitlist once your name comes up on the waitlist, then they're going to call you to order. You must know what you want to order when they call your name. Once you place your order you will still wait outside. Once the table becomes available, then they will take you inside and bring your food to you. Overall amazing food and will definitely be back!
