The visual was seriously mouthwatering, ㄷㄷ ![Fritters displayed at the snack restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-03-1rj9r-900.webp) Bubu Duri's tteokbokki is great, but the fritters are honestly the real star, especially the gochu (chili pepper) fritters and vegetable fritters!!!! I was planning to take some gochu fritters home that day but they were sold out... I was so bummed ㅠㅠ ![Spacious, clean interior of Bubu Duri Tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-04-pq3u8-900.webp) ![Seating area with tables inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-05-dz83u-900.webp) ## Weekend 4pm atmosphere and the self-serve bar The interior at Bubu Duri Tteokbokki Cheongju Geumcheon Branch is spacious and clean, perfect for eating in. I visited at 4pm on a weekend and there were quite a few customers having drinks with their snacks - haha. Delivery orders were also coming in constantly, a real proof it's a legit favorite! ![Self-serve bar area at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-06-ah88b-900.webp) ![Hot odeng broth at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-07-1evkc-900.webp) The hot odeng (fish cake) broth at the self-serve bar is amazing. I'm a broth fiend so I went back for seconds and thirds without any shame haha ![Bubu Duri Tteokbokki menu board and prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-08-9dj7s-900.webp) ## What I ordered and the prices - Duri Tteokbokki ₩6,000 - Chapsundae ₩6,000 - Vegetable fritters ₩4,000 - Squid fritters ₩4,000 - Drink ₩2,000 ![Sign for the free yogurt piggy bank event](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-09-10ie1-900.webp) If you order over ₩20,000 including the yogurt sherbet, they give you an adorable yogurt piggy bank...! It was a summer event so I'm not sure if it's still running, but haha ![Sign for the no-lose lucky draw event](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-10-14vxa-900.webp) They're also running a no-lose lucky draw event, and first prize is the Bubu Sanmaek Set? On the day I visited... someone actually won first prize ㄷㄷ 🥇 So jealous... imagine getting to eat this deliciousness all over again!!!!!!! ## Wheat tteokbokki, the real taste test Freshly made tteokbokki, fritters, and sundae — that's the full snack-food visual right there 🥹🤎 And it's not just about looks, the taste holds up too, seriously. ![Table set with tteokbokki, fritters, and sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-11-dzmks-1200.webp) ![Bowl of hot odeng broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-12-qs8ac-900.webp) They warm you up with hot odeng broth first ~ ![Sweet and spicy sauced wheat duri tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-13-1laxy-900.webp) ![Picking up a piece of wheat tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-14-1hy1w-900.webp) Straight into the tteokbokki — I'm team wheat tteok (rice cake) over rice tteok, and it was so chewy and good. The sweet and spicy sauce soaked right into the rice cakes... incredible ✨ Writing this now is making me crave it again ㅠ ![Odeng mixed into the tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-15-18e5y-900.webp) The odeng was also crazy good .. 🤎 ## Chapsundae: better dipped in tteokbokki sauce than salt Eating tteokbokki without sundae just feels wrong. The owner was generous, so the chapsundae portion was really hefty too. ![A generous plate of chapsundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-16-1u5o5-900.webp) ![Chapsundae served with salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-17-omiop-900.webp) Mild flavor... great dipped in salt ![A piece of chapsundae dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-18-1umr6-900.webp) Chapsundae is good dipped in salt like this, but personally I like it even more thrown right into the tteokbokki and scooped up with the sauce with a spoon! ## Gochu fritters sold out, but free fritters instead I love drowning tteokbokki in fritters, so I ordered squid fritters and vegetable fritters. When I got sad that the gochu (chili pepper) fritters were sold out, the owner gave me free sweet potato, kim-mari (fried seaweed rice rolls), and mandu fritters... 💛 So thankful. I love you. Ahh! ![Plate of squid fritters, vegetable fritters, and free fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-19-sz7ue-900.webp) ![Vegetable fritters dipped in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks-20-114ne-900.webp) The vegetable fritters are just as amazing as the gochu ones — these are better with a light dip in soy sauce rather than tteokbokki sauce. The fritter portions were so huge I took the leftovers home. Gonna reheat them in the air fryer and eat them again :) haha 🍀 ## Where it is - Bubu Duri Tteokbokki Cheongju Geumcheon Branch (부부두리떡볶이 청주금천점) - 32 Sanseong-ro 98beon-gil, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea (105, 106 ho) - 충청북도 청주시 상당구 산성로98번길 32 105, 106호 - 36.63094, 127.5050512 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EB%B6%80%EB%91%90%EB%A6%AC%EB%96%A1%EB%B3%B6%EC%9D%B4%20%EC%B2%AD%EC%A3%BC%EA%B8%88%EC%B2%9C%EC%A0%90/@36.63094,127.5050512,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-lunch-bell/buburi-tteokbokki-cheongju-geumcheon-fried-snacks/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
