Yedang

I’m not sure why this place got few 1 star reviews?! Their rice cake is so delicious. Yes, they are priced higher than ones you find in Korean grocery stores for sure. But it has so much more flavor and texture. They offer various small sized ($1.75-$1.99) individually wrapped for great snacks. I usually get 5 different kinds. They also offer Korean dessert drinks!

I have been a patron of Ridgefield Yedang for many years (15+). Their dduk quality has become inconsistent and customer service has severely deteriorated as well. My last couple of notable experiences prompted this review. Once I bought "honey-filled" song-pyun dduk, but when we tasted them at home, there was no honey inside. Yedang refused to believe me, accept responsibility, or apologize for their mistake. This weekend, we bought another kind of dduk with sweet beans filling inside, but the fillings had already gone bad. Again, Yedang denied the possibility of their fillings going bad, did not apologize, and refused to offer exchange or refund. The woman (regularly at the register) offered a terrible condescending attitude instead. (Seems like many are complaining about the same rude woman!) They lost a long-time customer as I will not go back!!

After having YeDang, I have hardly had any 떡 (rice cakes) from anywhere else. The rainbow rice cakes, the green sookduk, and the baramduk are my personal favorites. It’s located in the HMart strip mall in Ridgefield so there are plenty of parking spots. The ladies are generally very nice but seems to be mainly Korean speaking. It is by far the most tasty and I would recommend you eat it relatively quickly as it will melt in your mouth. The few dollars more you spend is worth it.The parking is easy. This place is the best rice cakes in the New York City area in my humble opinion. I would recommend you try it with a small purchase to believe.
