Will be rude to customers if you buy less than $10 worth of rice cakes :-)

I didn't even know I liked rice cakes until I had the ones at Arirang. Rice cakes are typically dense, chewy blocks that, to me, never seemed worth the blood sugar spike. But my mom and sister have been raving about the rice cakes here for the longest time, and I finally managed to give them a try recently.
In short, they're incredible. I guess that's to be expected from a store that specializes in just one thing, but I immediately noticed a stark difference between these and the ones they sell at Asian supermarkets. Rice cakes (especially ones that have been on the shelves for some time) can be hard and tough, at worst erring toward the experience of chewing gum. Arirang's rice cakes are incredibly soft, both to the touch and in the mouth. Imagine the softest mochi-like texture giving way to a cloud of sweetness (the level of which depends on which kind of rice cake you get).
I'm a new fan of the fruit rice cakes, the likes of which I haven't seen in any other shop. The outside is powdery and tender, with a sweet, fruit filling that I found extremely moreish. My mom ordered a variety pack of red-bean filled rice cakes, which were also excellent.
The variety of rice cakes in this shop are a little overwhelming, but they're reasonably priced (especially for a specialty shop), so if you're fiending for some rice cakes - or are interested in trying them for the first time - I would absolutely recommend stopping by Arirang.
I love this cute shop and their tasty nutritious rice cakes. Store owners are so kind and friendly as well. Their rice cakes are well made and often sold out at the Korean supermarkets. So glad we found this original shop!

Authentic Korean rice cake place to pick up some snack, order for special occasions, make sure to give your details for your order, old school but they are truly Korean!! Give them a try.
Rude employees. Overheard gossiping harshly about previous customers. Average rice cakes

The Arirang walnut snacks purchased from the Hannam chain do not have walnuts in each of the 7 grains.Since there is no carp in bungeoppang, I wonder if walnuts are not added to walnut snacks either.
Makes an excellent rice cakes
