I ordered jeangban jjajang and chili shrimp. Each dish was about $18. They taste good.. chili shrimp was sweet and had a tangy kick, kind of reminds me of korean spicy fried chicken and panda express orange chicken. The texture was sticky and moist, which i loved. Don't expect it to be crispy just because it's fried. Sticky texture is as good as crispy one! The good size of shrimp gave nice tenderly chewy texture too. Jaengban jjajang was good too. Had good amount of seafood, and the sauce was just right. I didn't feel like that was enough food for what i paid tho. But i guess that's the market.

I'm so glad I found this little shop near me. This place has the taste of ktown tangsuyuk w/o driving to ktown at all. Also, food delivery apps charge you a higher premium compared to if you phone order and pick it up yourself, go figures. I enjoyed everything they have on the menu here and highly recommend anyone shopping to come here.

Very dissatisfied and disappointed came in on June 30 with my baby and family and the store was closed they were cleaning up so I asked if they were closed since I didn't see the sign and the lady dishwasher cook or whoever she was was incredibly rude and started aggressively saying yes don't you see the sign we're closed with a really nasty attitude!!! You need to fire this woman she's racist against Asians and is rude to all your customers I will tell all my friends to avoid this place

The best gochu jjamppong EVER. (Extra spicy noodles) Noodles are handmade and the flavors of the sauce is sooo deep. Jja jjang myun (black bean noodles) are delish as well. We can't find any other jjamppong place with soup with flavors this deep. This is our go to place. Very reasonably priced as well.

Taste wise, it's just OK. But I'm giving this place 1 star because I ended up in emergency surgery because of this place. Ordered jjambong here and as I was slurping up noodles I felt something hard going down. It was a broken piece of a mussel shell hiding in the noodles. Apparently, eating a broken piece of mussel shell can result in internal bleeding because a shard of mussel shell is very sharp. I tried to force myself to get the piece back up but no luck. I then starting sifting through the soup and found tons of mussel shell pieces all hiding away in the dark soup. I googled what happens if you eat a mussel shell and ended up going to the hospital hoping an X-ray would show that the piece was small enough not to be cause for concern. No such luck. The piece managed to get down my esophagus and the doctor said I needed to have it removed asap before it got into the intestines. A multi-thousand dollar bill later, I can safely say I'll never order the jjambong here ever again. I will note, I've had jjambong many, many times before. I've ordered it from many different places and nothing like this ever happened.

Horrible experience. We were responsible for bringing 2 jaengban jajangs to a potluck to celebrate Mother's Day. I called in my order at 4:34 and was told that it will take 10 to 15 min. However, when I got there, I was told there was no record of my order. This has literally never happened to me before and we order take out all the time. Sure, orders can run late, but to have no record of it?!? Up until this point, I was slightly annoyed, but understanding. Things happen. But what really frustrated me was when I was trying to correct the situation. When I tried to place another order, the girl at the counter pointed to big orders they were working on and basically said we will not be getting our order anytime soon. No apology for their error... No attempt to make the situation right. In fact, she was extremely condescending as if I would forget (or lie about) placing a phone order. I'll never order from here again. Not because of the error, but because of the attitude of the girl that works at the counter. When mistakes happen, please own up to it and make it right. Oh and I'm like 99% sure she's the one who took my phone order, making this situation even more frustrating. Below is the picture from my phone log showing when I called to place my order. Please ignore the cancelled call (I am apparently incapable of hitting the upside down exclamation mark).

Extremely slow. They said just wait for 15 minutes, but we wait for around 45 minutes. The staff can't arrange it well. Never back again

Excellent stir fried noodles and jajiangmein. So Judy quantity. I mix in additional noodles with their soap e and still tastes so good.

Ordered togo and was a bit on the spicier side. The portion was huge and could be split with another person. The noodles were also a bit over cooked but overall pretty decent.
They don't deserve even one star. I have been there twice. Each time the cashier was very rude. They always said the food will be ready in 20 minutes but be prepared to wait at least 40 minutes. So so food and pricey, Never again

Ordered at 12:33 and picked up at 1:30 got just 2 spicy seafood noodle soup, ridiculous man.. they kept saying 10 more minutes to give you a false hope so you can get more frustrated. I literally finished my shopping at Zion came back and see my number wasn't ready so I went to put grocery in my car and get milk tea, and guess what? The number didn't even move when I came back!!! And they kept taking phone orders!! When a bunch people waiting for the food you better focus on delivering them!! The chef looks like he just woke up from the nap tho.. Albert HATES it

Take out night with jjajangmyun, garlic chicken, and jellyfish platter. Best tasting Korean/Chinese food I've had since Korea.... Highly recommend.

Love the location in ktown so I was suprised when I saw one down here in OC. Got this doordashed last weekend. We ordered the jjajangmyun, jjampong, and tangsuyuk. When it arrived, it was still nice and warm and the tangsuyuk was still crispy and not soggy. The jjajangmyun was not the best I've had, but maybe its because it took a while to get to us. Feel like the sauce lacked some flavors. The jampong was fairly good and had plenty of mussels and squid legs in it, which was great added value. The soup was nice and spicy and flavorful. Overall, I would order again, since there's not many places in OC that offer these foods and taste decent, but definitely not as good as the ktown location.

Very disappointing to say the least. The cashier charged me twice so I had to wait for 10 min while he called the manager who was off site to correct the situation. When my jajangmyun and fried dumplings came out, I decided to dine in. I asked for napkins and he said they were all out. The worst part was I started eating and there was no flavor. The noodle texture wasn't chewy at all, just broke apart. Instant jajangmyung taste better than what I had. Not coming back
