I thought this place was permanently closed for the longest time until I realized it just shared the same space as the soondoobu place "next door." The Tteokbokki tastes pretty good although heavy on the pepper flavor, and the spam mayo bowl is good too (just literally spam, mayo, and seaweed). I like that the tteokbokki here is actually spicy. They need to update the menu posted outside the restaurant because it has old prices. $16 for tteokbokki seems so expensive when considering this is basically no-frills street food. I'd have liked to try some of the fried food on the menu but it's prohibitively expensive. The portion and price point is why I'm docking stars. I give this place a 3.5/5 but rounded up because I want to support these local Korean businesses.

My family came to visit SD so I was going to take them to another restaurant but they were busy, so we came here instead. I've only ever ordered from here through Ubereats so I knew it would be good and probably better since it would be fresh. This spot is a joint restaurant with another restaurant and the plaza gets really packed so good luck with parking if you decide to come here. I always order their Sinjeon Set D which includes their spicy rice cake and choice of spam mayo bowl or tuna mayo bowl. This time I got the medium level spicy rice cake with the spam mayo bowl and soondae. Sinjeon honestly has the best spicy rice cake I've ever tried in SD because they do the spice right. I was a little disappointed with the portion because I remember when I would get it delivered it was a lot more. But still delicious and spicy! I like to get the rice bowl because I think it balances well with the rice cake but just by itself it is really salty. The soondae was your standard taste. My family ordered some other dishes but they said they were just okay.

My favorite place to get tteokbokki! Their spicy level was really spicy but so good. Their friend seaweed roll and dumplings were really good to eat with the sauce. Will def come back again!

Ordered food through Uber Eats. Big mistake. Food never arrived. Looked all over neighborhood and couldn't find food. Now Uber Eats won't give me a refund. I'm out over $100!! Don't order food from here and definitely not through Uber Eats!

Sinjeon sells korean street food such as Topokki (spicy rice cake in red sauce) and fried fish cake.The Topokki has really good texture, sauce is delicious. Add mozzarella cheese as topping for extra texture and flavor.The friend fish cakes and other fried items are tasty too. Nice crisy but thin batter.For now Sinjeon food is collocated inside Convoy Tofu House, so supposedly you can order Tofu stews on the same table as well.

Took almost 1 1/2 hours to get our food and they were literally mocking us. Not sure how much longer they can stay in business with ethics like that.... Such a shame because I once liked this place.

Had a super rough day, was craving cheese & tteokbokki. My wonderful BF surprised me with an order from doordash-- he got me the tteokbokki with creamy sauce, mild, with extra cheese. I have a love/hate relationship with spice, and although the "mild" still caused me to break a sweat, the flavor is sooooo delicious I love it so much. Even after being delivered, the dish was still piping hot! I will be returning for my future cheesy tteokbokki cravings
Was sad to find out they it was closed in the food court for Zion. Found it several weeks later doing a drive by. Came early, waited for them to open for 15 min. Was the first one to order the food and then it took over 25 min to get sundae. People who ordered Korean food got their food before us even though they came in later. It is now going on over 30 min. As much as we like the food? They seriously need to do hi te out how to prioritize cooking food. Felt bad for waitress but really disappointing.

I tried this place when it was at Zion market and fell in love with the spicy and rose rice cakes! The rose rice cakes have a pink colored sauce as they have some sort of cream mixed in. It's either regular cream or coconut cream but it's sooooo good! Glad they have found a new location here next to Seoul Korean Tofu House. Growing up in Korea, ttukboki was my favorite street food! The spicy rice cakes are similar to what you expect for ttukboki but better in my opinion. The sauce is SPICY so beware but I prefer this over too sweet like at other places. I need to try some of the other items but I will keep coming back just for the rice cakes. I'm not sure if they intend to have their own entrance soon but for now you can order from within Seoul Korean Tofu House! I was able to order tofu soup and the rice cakes at the same time and get my Korean food fill! I believe they took over Katztra Sushi that used to be connected to the tofu restaurant. Enjoy!

한국에서 먹던 맛보다 덜 매워서 좋았어요.
