Soft, chewy rice cakes and warm hodduk trays designed for quick stops in Manhattan.<\/p>\n
NEW YORK, NY \u2014 February 27, 2026 \u2014 CHUNG DDUK has opened its first New York City shop in Manhattan, introducing a grab-and-go format centered on Korean rice cakes designed for fast-paced, on-the-go eating.<\/p>\n
Built around New York City’s daily rhythm, the shop prioritizes portability and speed over a traditional sit-down dessert experience. The compact counter setup, focused menu, and handheld packaging are intended for quick purchases between work, transit, and everyday routines.<\/p>\n
The menu centers on cream rice cakes in flavors including green tea, black sesame, and tiramisu. CHUNG DDUK also offers a ready-to-eat breakfast option, Cream DDUK Overnight Oats, which incorporates rice cake pieces into the format.<\/p>\n
For warm items, the shop serves a hodduk tray featuring hot pancakes alongside Greek yogurt, roasted soybean powder, peanuts, and honey.<\/p>\n
“We’re not trying to create a destination dessert,” said Eilyn, Brand Manager at CHUNG DDUK. “We’re building an everyday snack format that fits naturally into a New York routine.”<\/p>\n
The Manhattan opening marks CHUNG DDUK’s first U.S. shop, bringing a portable Korean snack format to a city shaped by grab-and-go habits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Soft, chewy rice cakes and warm hodduk trays designed for quick stops in Manhattan.
