Modern and casual place serving yummy topoki!
We had a craving for Korean food and wanted to try something a bit different from the usual BBQ and noodles. Topoki is a traditional Korean dish of thick rice noodles served in sauce and toppings. We popped in on Sunday morning and ended up being their first customers at noon.
Inside, the restaurant has two floors and it sports a bright and airy feel with modern decor. The servers were very nice and gave us some feedback on the different sauces. We ordered the veggie fritters and the rose sauce - one with seafood and one with bacon.
The food didn't take too long to come out and we were pleasantly surprised by the big bowls of rose sauce with lots of rice noodles swimming in it. My bacon one also had a hotdog on top of it. As I scooped up some noodles, bacon and onions, it tasted great - nice creamy taste combined with a kick of heat at the end. Bacon and onion were nice touches to it. But, I think the winner here is the seafood one - lots of mussels, shrimp and squid! The sauce went quite well with seafood - definitely worth the extra 3 dollars! The only medicore item was the veggie fritters - we we're hoping for more veggie tempura - we got a generous portion but it could have used a bit more salt. I ended up dipping them in to the rose sauce - that kinda tells you how much I liked the sauce. Overall, the topoki was great and we'll be back to try the others!
