Dookki

Dookki (두끼, meaning 'two meals' — eat enough for two) is Korea's pioneering all-you-can-eat tteokbokki buffet chain, launched in 2014. With 300+ locations in Korea and 100+ international stores across Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia), Dookki disrupted the tteokbokki market with its unlimited DIY concept. Here's how it works: pay a flat fee (₩9,900-12,900 per person), then choose your own rice cakes, noodles (ramyeon, udon, glass noodles), sauces (mild to extreme spicy, cream, jjajang black bean), and toppings (fish cakes, dumplings, sausages, vegetables, cheese, eggs, seafood) from a buffet bar. Cook everything at your table on a built-in induction cooker in a shared pot. Unlimited refills within 70-90 minutes. The grand finale: staff help you make bokkeumbap (fried rice) with the remaining sauce — don't skip this. At roughly $7-9 USD per person, this is one of Seoul's best value meals. The visual buffet format requires zero Korean — just see and pick. Perfect for groups and families. Visit during weekday lunch for lower prices.
