My favorite place for jajangmyeon! Don’t miss the tangsuyuk and jjamppong. Stir-fried jajangmyeon is great for larger groups due to its portion size.

The line gets long during lunch and dinner, so arrive early. The parking lot is small, but there's usually street parking nearby.

Service is quick and efficient, and they’ll box up any leftovers for you.

The portions are smaller now. Fortunately, the taste remain the same

The food and service were both amazing! I used to go to SF 홍콩반점. But the food is way more delicious and fresh and the service is very fast! I went alone with my two kids, and the staff were so kind — they even kept an eye on my kids while I went to the restroom and let them use the bathroom before the restaurant opened. Dining out with kids can be stressful, but they were so thoughtful and attentive to every little detail. I was truly touched — this is the first time I’ve received this kind of care since coming to the U.S.! The food and service were both top-notch. And one of the staff members was not only very handsome but also incredibly professional — double the impression! 💕

Soup is not warm, not recommended

Good jajangmyeon & jjamppong, can't find better tasting of these dishes in any of the etc Korean restaurants in the Bay Area, would have to visit LA for that.

This is a decent restaurant that meets expectations. Jajangmyun was a little too sweet and they most likely used machines to make their noodles (as opposed to making their own).

However, this isn’t a place where you dine to get the best Korean Chinese dishes. Their prices are highly competitive and you get exactly that. Fast service, adequate quality food and smaller portions. It’s an attractive place to dine for a value play.

Honestly we dropped right in, got a table, were served and on our merry way with our bellies full. One entree is more than enough for two! Definitely will be back to try out more dishes, but a great affordable lunch to split!

Great spot for some Korean-Chinese food. Their jajangmyeon is hands down my favourite dish there. The noodles had a really nice texture that had just the right level of chewiness, and the black bean sauce was delicious. The restaurant was insanely packed when I went there and was quite lively, but despite that the service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back to try their other dishes!

Recommended dishes: Fried Pork Dumplings, Noodles

This is one of my favorite spots for Korean noodles. The menu is simple and clear, so it’s easy to decide what to order without overthinking. The noodles are always on point, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive.
The only downside is the parking situation. Half of the parking lot is shared with the laundry next door, which can make finding a spot tricky, especially during busy hours. It's a minor inconvenience, but it can be a bit annoying.
Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone craving Korean noodles.

Really enjoyed the jajangmyeon here! Probably the best jajangmyeon I’ve tried in the States!

The portion size is generous for the price, and the flavors are spot on. The black bean sauce is lighter than the traditional version, which I actually prefer—it feels less heavy but still very flavorful. The noodles have a great chewy texture, just the way they should be. Meat is tender and flavourful as well!

The sweet and sour pork was crispy and served in a very generous portion.

The jjamppong and Gunmandu (deep fried pork dumplings) were a hit and miss.
