Description
Run by a couple who relocated the business from Flushing, this neighborhood spot is known for its personal hospitality. A signature draw is the handmade stir-fried tteokbokki, which is rolled skinnier and smaller than typical frozen versions for a notably chewy, non-spicy bite. The ramen portions are generous, featuring rich, creamy broths that the kitchen can customize with an unlisted spicy add-on if you ask. Fresh sushi and reasonable prices round out the experience.
