Where It All Began
Halgatteok Northridge was created with a simple goal — to bring one of Korea’s most beloved street foods to the heart of California. The restaurant opened at 9020 Reseda Blvd #102, Northridge, CA, and has since become known for staying true to Korean tradition. Each dish reflects authentic preparation methods commonly used in Korean street food shops.
What Makes Tteokbokki Special
Tteokbokki is a popular street food in Korea, known for its bold, spicy flavor and chewy texture. The version served here uses garaetteok made from 100% non-glutinous rice flour — a key difference that sets it apart from many others. The rice cake is jumbo-sized, soft, and cooked in a deep red broth that balances sweet and heat.
