I rarely write reviews. However, I've waited 2 days to write this review because I did not want to write this emotionally.
I've ordered here twice for my colleagues. The first time, my colleagues enjoyed the food, and the pick-up was ready on time. They had tried other korean-chinese restaurants but preferred how this place prepared their food.
The second time was a completely different experience. I was running errands and on a tight schedule. I placed an order for 5 jjamppongs 45 minutes before. When I arrived, they said they had an order for 3. The gentlemen at the front looked at the receipt and said they only had 3 of the 5 items ready and needed another 10-15 minutes. I said I would finish some other errands and come back in 10-15 minutes. 15 minutes later, the food was still not ready. After talking with the gentleman in front, he said he needed another 10-15 minutes on top of that. He then proceeded to ask if I would like to cancel the order. At this point, I was running late, invested too much of my time, and had no other food for my colleagues.
No apologies were given or shown remorse for the situation. This was probably one of the worst customer experiences I've had in a long time. On top of that, I ordered 5 of the same dishes, and the later 2 tasted vastly different and were thrown out.
If the customer service was a little better, I would've come back, but this was too much and would not have this experience on anyone else.

The tangsuyook jjampong Jjangmyeon combo only available for dine in is a must, would recommend. The amount of food you get for the price is great! Will definitely be coming back with my spouse.
Kid-friendliness: Went to dine in by myself with two kids, they offer high chairs and I recommend the fried rice combo comes with a side of soup similar to egg drop soup.

I usually don't leave reviews, but I think everyone here should know, so I'm leaving a comment.
Yangjing Pig Togo $36 Ingredients: A lot of Mexican peppers. A lot of onions. No mushrooms. Carrots in moderation. Meat?? Something thinner than bean sprout roots. Is it really a lot? Enough to eat while resting. And just a little bit of sheep paste skin... this. Does that make sense? If the price of ingredients goes up, raise the price a little. Do you do it the way you should? This is too much. I'm wasting money and feeling bad... I don't recommend coming here. It's a nightmare.

Upon my family's visit here, we ordered Kanpung shrimp, omurice, and a large order of their signature jajang myun. The shrimp came with a sweet and spicy sauce similar to that you get with tang su yuk (in which I also reccomend as I tried that in another visit here). Can't go wrong with the jahang myun as this dish is their specialty. In the sauce were baby shrimp, oyster, potato, and onion. I would reccomend sharing this with others as the portion is huge. Lastly, the omurice. We packed this dish togo as we could not finish the things we ordered. Later on when I tried it, it was pretty good. Mild flavor, great for those who don't want anything too strong.

Good service, was checked up on a few times by the gentleman who filled our ice waters.

Big windows in the facility, good to let sunlight in. There is a big flatscreen TV playing the olympics!

Came here a little late and the kitchen was about to close. They were super gracious and let us order anyways. The food was AMAZING. The fried pork was crispy and juicy, the seafood was fresh, everything was really tasty and huge portions. It was on par with the Korean Chinese food I've had in Korea. The service was also great. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

I went there for lunch, and it's cheap, comes out quickly, and tastes good, so it's perfect for a quick meal when you're in a hurry.

This is one of our favorite places and we go there at least once a month, and we had no problem on both dine-in & take-out orders…until now. My wife ordered pork tangsooyook but they gave us beef instead. Do we now have to check to make sure that our order is right from now on? We pick up as it is because we trust that the restaurant does it right, but this is simply disappointing. Furthermore, the meat was dry & bit thick, having some difficulty to chew it. I don’t want to give a low rating, but hopefully this is a wake-up call to get things right.

Everytime I'm in the area I go stop by this restaurant to dine. The staff are welcoming.
The food is so yummy and savory. Plenty of seafood options, which are absolutely fresh ! Highly recommended.

It looks like the chef has changed. The taste is not the same as before. The service is always the same, but the taste is not as good as before!!

Food is meh, it is hit or miss, the tang su yuk was good, well fried and crispy but the sauce was too thick. The jjajangmyun lacked flavor and the jjamppong was also underwhelming, was told the oyster jjamppong was good though. Went with a large party and the service was lacking.
