But let’s face it, typing “tteokbokki” can be a challenge, especially if you’re not familiar with Korean language conventions. As a result, people searching for this delicious dish online often end up using misspelled variations.
Let’s dive into some common misspellings of tteokbokki, why they happen, and how to find this dish no matter how it’s spelled.
Common Misspellings of Tteokbokki
Tokbokki: A simplified version that drops the "tte" at the beginning.
Topokki: A phonetic attempt that aligns with how some might hear it spoken.

Ddeokbokki: Adding a "d" at the beginning, reflecting another Romanization system.
