Yuk Dae Jang San Gabriel

Smaller restaurant but good attentive staff. Love the Bossam here, very fresh and goes well with all the ban chan. I also recently tried their cold noodles, so refreshing and hit just the right spot during the hot summer months. Plz get here early as parking can be a hassle, not the fault of the resturant tho.

I like the beef noodle soup and cabbage-wrapped pork here. The big jar of kimchi is great. The pickled green plums are really delicious.

Got the yukdaejang with pasta — very delicious, but for what it is I feel like it’s overpriced by $4 or so. The noodles were good but they seemed more like instant noodles than anything homemade. This might just be my ignorance, and me incorrectly expecting them to be more like knife cut or kalguksu style noodles that are much thicker and chewier.

Perhaps this is just the world we live in now, where a bowl of pho, ramen, or other noodle soup is pushing $20 in CA. I would still be interested in returning to try their other dishes!

Very good food! After eating millions of Korean barbecue family decided to try something different and it’s totally worth it. Only complaint is the chopsticks, which is very flat and heavy, makes it very hard to use. And I’ve been using chopsticks since I was born ?

They gave me purple rice that was smelling old and hard without asking me which rice I want. The side dishes were small. The fish cakes banchan was tasting like flour, cheap ingredient. The dish I had was mushroom soup but it was lack of umami. The servers treat you bad if you speak Korean and you are a Korean. I had an impression that they were serving OLD purple rice only to Korean customers while I was there to get rid of the rice. The table behind me was a Korean group also and they all had purple rice. All the other non Korean customers got newer and fresher white rice. And I got charged the additional rice.(and it was another purple rice) Who charges a small bowl of rice? I wanted to say that the rice is too old and why not ask us what we want, but I didn't because I did not ruin the family lunch. Anyways not going back again. When this place was controlled by the owner, it was not like this. The food was fresh and all good quality. I hope it was only on that day when I was there.

Love this place. The broth is always so good. Not as many banchan as other places, but the quality really makes up for the lack of variety. Haven't gotten any of the large format dishes, but it seems like a great place to come with a group.

This is a Korean restaurant, but you have to ask for a bowl of rice as the servers here won't offer it until you ask for it. This was the only Korean restaurant that I've been in Cali that didn't serve your order of soup with rice - I mean the fact that I have to even mention this is an atrocity itself. It's unheard of.

Our parents (Korean) were dumbfounded by this. The 3-stars isn't just for this lack of rice with our orders, but the food itself was very average. Not sure if it was because they were so busy, but all four of us were starving when we sat down so you'd think anything tastes good at this point. We all left wanting something more, something else.

Food - it was bad. Got the premium bossam but it was really rubbery and difficult to chew. It tasted like really cheap meat. And the yuk gae jang tasted like powdered broth. My grandma made yuk gae jang when I was growing up and that wasn’t it. Also they charge .25 per take out box so you know how they’re running this buisness.Service - Completely ignored for whole dinner.
