Update- quality went wayyyyy down in one year. All the koreans around my table complained eating including ours. 1. Soup too salty 2. Running by part-timers who dont know what korean food is. 3. Worst side dishes. 4. I am a 국밥 lover but even i could not finish half of the bowl. Service is decent but the food is terriblex3

Staff were very welcoming with us and checked in frequently to make sure we had water and banchan. We got the pork and chives mandu and the original Yuk Gae Jang with glass noodle / ramyeon. Would happily come back to this restaurant chain and location next time we visit

Yukdaejang Angus Brisket Cold Buckwheat Noodles (Yangji Mulnaengmyeon) are made with buckwheat noodles, giving them a chewy texture and a bowl full of refreshing and savory ice broth. So you can eat them cool down to the last bite. Recommended for those who want to feel cool from head to toe!

Food- OK Service- This part throws me off. Young gentleman was very nice. The older guy told us to leave right when we finished, saying there is a waiting list. We weren't even there more than 45 minutes. If we sat there hour and a half, two, I understand. But You should not be forced out after little more than 30 minutes. We did not want to make a scene so we left, but never returning.

The first thing I want to say is the service here is SO GOOD. I would day it’s rare to find a place with good quality food AND amazing service like this. The people are all so friendly and attentive - it was nice to be able to eat good food and also be surrounded by good vibes. We got the yukgaejang ramen and yukgaejang soondubu. Both were flavored very well and we’d order them again. The kimchi mandu was not for me and I probably wouldn’t order them again but the side dishes made up for it!! The kimchi is perfect for pairing with soup. It was perfectly ripe for me and I usually don’t like fish cake as a side dish but I couldn’t stop eating this one here! Overall, we will be back for the soup!

Amazing ? ?We went on a rainy day, and I craved heartwarming food. The service here was supper friendly. We were standing outside, trying to figure out what they sold. The guy came out with the menu. He also helped us order. We have the pork belly and beef noodles. Both were very tasty and not dealy spicy. Kimchi is 10 out of 10 ? The restaurant is full of Kpop atmosphere. They really fulfill my craving after watching k drama.
The fantastic food, the service at YUK DAE JANG is top-notch. The staff members are friendly and eager to ensure that your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional.

Oh well, food is all about your own preferences. I don’t like sweetness in my food, so a 4-*. You are welcomed to disagree.Having said that Banchan (side dishes) however is the winner.Services are very good, waiters check every table periodically and frequently enough, making sure every needs are taken care of.

Love this Korean noodle chain! Depending on the times you are there, this place (and it's other locations) can get PRETTY PACKED! I had the original yuk gae jang and all noodles generally come with the beef strips and a LOT of onions.Spice levels are tolerable, unless you really can't handle spicy foods. Most noodles come with glass noodles, but I highly recommend the fresh pasta since the noodles are thicker and easier to see. All the noodles are delicious however so I'm always having difficulty picking. ?Location of this place is near H-Mart, a Korean marketplace, and if this place is too crowded and you're not patient enough to wait, I'd recommend checking out the other food locations nearby!
Parking: Lots of available parking spots at the plaza. If you're not familiar with the Irvine area, don't worry about the green colored parking spots, that's normal there.
Wheelchair accessibility: Clearly labeled wheelchair accessible parking and easy to get in and out of the plaza.

Order the dried cod hot pot and the seafood chige hot pot. You can choose between white rice and purple rice. Complimentary Oden, Kimuchi, fresh chives and onions are first placed on the table. The server is very friendly and helpful. The dried cod hot pot has a monotonous and gentle flavor. You may get bored of it in the latter half of the meal. The seafood chige hot pot was spicy and tasty with lots of ingredients such as shrimp, shellfish, and tofu.

Love it so much! Noodle(ramyeon?) yukgaejang is the best. Must try :) I prefer this to a fresh noodle. It tastes the same as Yukdaejang in Korea.
