I have never had Topoki before, but Go Topoki has me keen for more!
My girlfriend and I came here on a whim since the bakery we had originally planned to visit was closed.
The two floor restaurant has a clean and modern decor. Their white and yellow theme is cute!
Since we've never had Topoki before, we asked the server what the portion sizes were like. He said that Topoki dishes were for one person, but we shared one dish because we already had something to eat. I think that their Topoki is a good size for one person if you're running on empty.
Their lunch special was $10 with an included drink. We ordered their bacon and sausage Topoki with the rosé sauce base and a hot apple cidar. The sauce was slightly spicy, which made the flavour profile much more interesting. Topoki is similar to Shanghai style Nian Gao--since I've never had it before, I cannot comment on its authenticity. I will say that the sauce was creamy and not overly oily. That being said, it was absolutely delicious!
The food came quickly and the server was delightful. We paid at the front when we were ready and were never pressured to leave.
Go Topoki has a café-like ambiance with serious kitchen chops--don't miss it if you're in the area!
I can't wait to return and try their regular spicy gojuchang sauce base Topoki!
