Does anyone know if Hana carries Korean rice cakes (tteokbokki)? Know anywhere else in the city I could find them? I’d rather not drive out to the burbs if I can help it.

I haven’t seen them there but I know that the streets market at 13th and Massachusetts Ave NW has them!

Definitely Streets as others have mentioned. Rice Market on 14th may also have them.

Haven't been to Hana since much earlier this year, but they didn't have them then.

Seconding all the comments about Streets, but I’m pretty sure H Mart is available on Instacart if you’re looking to get more than just tteokbokki!

This would be ideal. Thanks!

Fwiw Hana does have them, though the other suggestions of Streets are good too. Bestworld in Mt Pleasant also sometimes has them

Do they have them in stock often? I've looked through the freezer section every time I'm there and I've never noticed them

No way, really?!

Rice market on 14th has some in the downstairs space

I haven’t bought any there in awhile so maybe they stopped stocking them, but I can for sure co-sign the others saying Streets so might be safer to go there if that’s all you’re looking for

Are you looking for tteokbokki or tteok (the plain rice cakes that are used to make tteokbokki)?
GenericReditAccount OP t1_j1od1bk wrote
Oh, good call. I tried using the correct term, and apparently messed up. I’m looking for the plain rice cakes to use in recipes. Thanks for the correction.

Can confirm! Saw them at the U street location yesterday. Both the linked kind with spicy sauce and plain sliced/ coin kind.

Best world in mount pleasant. Has a lot of Asian groceries including Korean ramen.

No worries, just wanted to make sure I’m giving correct recommendations. I was at Trader Joe’s this week and they had frozen tteok, but the sliced type that’s used in tteokguk (rice cake soup). Perfect for the new year! They also have frozen tteokbokki, which was surprisingly good. The packaging for both say “product of Republic of Korea.”
GenericReditAccount OP t1_j1zocmg wrote
Just went and got both sliced and unsliced from the freezer section. Perfect for what I plan to cook tonight.
Thanks for the recs.
rosyrosierosy t1_j1zp55h wrote
They had plain unsliced ones too? Wow, Trader Joe’s is killing it with all the new Korean products they’ve released lately!
GenericReditAccount OP t1_j1zqk4v wrote
The unsliced ones come in a bag with sauce separate. I plan to just trash the sauce and use the cakes!
rosyrosierosy t1_j1zsa31 wrote
Omg no, the sauce is good though, if you like tteokbokki. You can also keep it and use it with noodles.

Great idea!
