🍲 West Edmonton Mall's New Korean Gem | Dookbaeki Lunch Review

📍 Dookbaeki | Level 2, WEM (next to T&T Supermarket) 🌟 Why It Stands Out Second Location Success: After winning over southside Edmontonians, Dookbaeki brings its homestyle Korean flavors to West Ed’s bustling food scene1. Lunchtime Savior: Perfect for mall employees craving something beyond food court fare. 🍽 Must-Try Dishes 1️⃣ Spicy Chicken & Rice Cake Skillet Fiery-sweet gochujang sauce clings to tender chicken and chewy rice cakes Pro tip: Mix the charred cabbage into rice for extra crunch 2️⃣ Cheese Corn Kid-friendly mozzarella blanket over sweet corn kernels Secret weapon: Ask for extra cheese pull photos! 3️⃣ Japchae Glass noodles with balanced sesame oil shine - great for gluten-free diners ⚠️ What to Know Broths Divide Opinions: Pork soup leans tomato-tangy vs. traditional spice1 Beef bone broth is rich but meat-scarce (better for sipping) Kimchi Bonus: Free refills of their sesame-studded version 💰 Value Breakdown $15-20/person: Add $3 for steamed rice to stretch portions Speed Perk: Orders arrive in <15 mins - ideal for 30-min lunch breaks #WEMFoodFinds #KoreanComfortFood
