The dish is often enjoyed as a quick meal on the go or as a late-night snack in Korea, frequently found in street food stalls or cozy restaurants. The rich, spicy-sweet sauce and the chewy texture of the rice cakes make tteokbokki an irresistible dish, loved by people of all ages. Its popularity has also spread internationally, with many countries now offering their own renditions of this classic Korean comfort food.
