The food has improved since the chef changed. The staff was friendly and overall it was good. However, it was a little hot.

The food came out, but the side dishes were served so late that we had already finished eating. Then I felt an unspoken pressure to leave quickly, and indirectly heard a ridiculous comment about needing to serve other customers. This left me with an unpleasant impression. The broth of the jjamppong was too salty and honestly not as good as the instant jjamppong ramen I cook myself. The other dishes were not particularly delicious either, but they were at least edible.

The jjamppong was so bad. It didn't taste anything. I tried the soup and it felt like it only had cabbage. Even my child said that the jajangmyeon was not good. Most children like jajangmyeon. I regret that I forced myself to eat all the noodles because it was a waste. I don't want to go again.

I was there with my parents today, and a month ago. First time we ordered mongolian been and 8 kinds sea food dish (don't know the name but has abalone, shrimp and other sea food). The weird thing is that food came out 5 min after ordering. The mongolian beef was decent. The other dish was terrible. Today we decided to give this place a second try. The mongolian beef was terrible. Some parts of it were uncooked, which makes no sense given that they use high heat wok. We also ordered a jelly fish dish. It was very substandard and tasted bad. We also ordered Jiajangmyung. The noodle was overcooked and sauce was mediocre. The weirdest thing about this restaurant is that food comes out literally 5-7 after you order. I think what the restaurant operators are doing is that they have food already ready in fridge or freezer, and they throw them in the wok. Now remember I said that we found pieces of uncooked beef in Mongolian beef dish. I think what they did was have the meet thrown into the wok while still frozen and try to stir fry quickly and caused some piece of meat to not cook due to being stuck together in frozen state. I just think this place is cheating somehow. Food is not absolutely terrible but is very mediocre at best. I think they are cutting corners to save time and labor. The taste of the food shows. Our family will never go to this place again. I also notice I feel very gaseous after eating there. Could be a coincidence but given the bad impression they left both times, I don't feel positive about this place at all. Three of us were criticizing the food while eating. I am sure the waitresses heard what we said. It simply makes no sense how they can bring out your dish in 5 min. Don't waste your time going here. You will regret it.

This is my go to Chinese Restaurant or last minute eat out since I moved to OC SoCal. This is not a fancy place to take your date. This is the family restaurant where you can wear shorts and flip-flops. Service was prompt and allowed to change the dish if the chef has not start to prepare. There are many parking spaces.

I have been there on 7/7//24.
Some dishes are far away from typical taste- cold, not enough cooked, and no seasoning.
Noodles taste like spaghetti’s and soup base of Jjampong was so watery. Not recommended any more

They said they were busy and didn't provide proper service. I tipped them 16% including tax, but the woman at the counter complained openly when I told them I didn't give 20%. I will never go again
