Small, cozy restaurant serving a tasty fusion of Chinese and Korean food. If you’re nearby, please do stop by and support this business! The poached dumplings were delicious!

The service was pretty standard. I wasn't really expecting this style of jajang mian maybe because this one is more Korean and not as Chinese like I'm used to, or this is the more traditional kind? The noodles were pretty chewy which was fun but the sauce was too much and I'm not sure what the flavor was but it was maybe too overwhelming with not enough substance or toppings in it.

Jajang and Jjamppong are delicious, but the food here is even better!!! It's been a while since I visited Yu Yu, and this place is always a constant, my OG restaurant in my heart. It's not the cleanest, and the service isn't the friendliest, but it's always a place where I can enjoy great food!

Literally the best place to get Korean style Black bean noodles (aka. Jjajangmyun) and Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup (aka. Jjampong) in Oakland!

This Korean-style Chinese restaurant located in Oakland, California, offers a variety of delightful dishes such as Tangsu-yuk (sweet and sour pork), fried dumplings, Jjajang-myon (black bean paste noodles), and Jjampong (spicy seafood noodles). The fried dumplings were exceptional, boasting a crispy exterior and a succulent, well-seasoned filling of pork and vegetables. The sweet and sour pork was equally impressive, with a delightful blend of sweetness in the sauce complementing the perfectly fried pork strips. While the noodle dishes were enjoyable, the texture of the noodles did not quite meet expectations, lacking the desired hand-stretched quality. The green chili sweet potato noodles provided a tasty kick with hot chili. The service was excellent, though there is room for improvement in the restaurant's overall ambiance to elevate the dining experience.
Took a native Korean here. Jajangmyeon was very disappointing. Lacked flavor and ingredients. Kul Jjampong and Tangsuyuk are decent, satisfies the cravings but not impressive.

Still our favorite for this kind of food. There are more choices these days closer to us but when we have time we come here from across the bay.

Unimpressive, non friendly service (felt like a bother) noodles lacked flavor. I can make better jajang myself. Won’t be back.
No nonsense joint with super tasty noodles
All good 👍
