| - Takeout orders aren't usually worth mentioning, but I picked up a takeout order from Go Topoki last week and was pleasantly surprised to find a tiny plastic serrated utensil that came in the bag to pierce and cut open the TV-dinner style sealed plastic packaging. Even the spoons and forks came nearly folded and tucked into each napkin. Such minor details, but it makes me feel like they put care and attention into their their products.
While I enjoyed the Red Regular Topoki with cheese, which came with fish cakes and a hard-boiled egg in the thick, mild gochujang sauce, the Brown Bulgogi Topoki topped with glass noodles was ultimately the winner of our night. The sauce is on the sweeter side, but mixed together with the glass noodles, it somehow just felt more satisfying.
I liked the ginmari / deep fried seaweed spring roll and my partner polished off an entire order of soondae blood sausage, which came accompanied by a side of salt, sesame seeds, and chilli powder. While the popcorn chicken gives you a really fair portion at $6, they weren't very crispy and were a bit bland in comparison to the rest of the dishes we had ordered.
