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.

grew up with jjajang noodle so I know how exactly the taste is supposed to be. But this one... the cook must put salt instead of sugar in the sauce. All the food was way too salty to eat. so I had to let the waiter know that it was too salty to eat. But all he said was "sorry" and not willing to cook again and still charged $65+ for the food. We will never go back.

I've walked past this place countless times, and finally I stopped in yesterday for lunch with a friend. What a find! The food is simply incredible, and the portions are huge. I would recommend coming to eat with a group in order to enjoy this place family style. There was so much I wanted to try but, alas, only so much I could comfortably eat. For my fellow vegetarians: The japchae plate with a side of soup is to die for, and don't pass up the hot braised soft tofu (the pickled vegetables on the side really elevate the experience, too).
I had soy sauce and sweet and sour pork, and overall it was good. The price is reasonable and I recommend it.

Clientele was all Korean during my late Sunday lunch here; always a good sign.Yuyu is not a “Chinese” restaurant in the American sense but is a “Korean-Chinese” joint. This style of food was developed by Chinese immigrants from Shandong to Korea and is highly popular in Korean communities across the world.There aren’t many Korean-Chinese places in the bay that are good but this is one of them. Both the classics ganjjajang and tang su yuk were excellent. The meat in the ganjjajang was SO tender and the tank su yuk was fried perfectly.
