Came here on a cold rainy Thursday for lunch. Looks like a mom and pop restaurant that seats a total of 13 comfortably. We ordered the Combo Ramen and the Yoodon Kimbap. The Combo Ramen (medium spicy) wasn’t that spicy, but good enough for me. It definitely hit the spot on this rainy day. The Yoodon Kimbap is a kimbap that is wrapped in a thin sliced pork cutlet topped with a sauce that they made. This combination worked really well and the soup that it came with paired perfectly with it. I hope to visit again and try their other dishes.

Their bulgogi kimbap can be a bit pricey compared to other kimbap spots nearby on Northern but I think it's definitely worth the few extra bucks. Great portions and extra meat served on the side with soup. Great all-in-one lunch option.

The location was a little out there along a quiet boulevard, but the warmth of the comforting mom and pop vibes remain. The food came speedy quick! The Spicy Shrimp Tempura Kimbap ($12.95) is a unique offering, with a taste unlike any kimbap I've had. This one was saucier, more fusion, with spicy mayo drizzled generously over it. Pricey, but this was my favorite of our dishes.They had 2 types of cutlet bowls, salad or no salad. We got the one with salad, and I don't recommend it. It tasted very obviously unfresh and refrigerated. The Pork Cutlet ($14.95) was't anything special, quite thin, although it was very crispy. I wouldn't get this dish again.On a cold day, the Shrimp Tempura Udon ($14.95) or any of their udons simply just call to you. Their broth was full of savory goodness, bound to warm you up. Their udon falls short though, tasting very frozen food stored brought.The lady let us stay for a while, which I appreciate. Yoodon is far for similar food you can find closer to the central area, albeit a great quick eats option for people living in the neighborhood.

Small mom and pop Korean restaurant in Bayside. Food was decent and very fairly priced. The house kimbap had a nice warm inside and crispy outside texture. The pork katsu was very good, as expected. The combination ramen was very spicy and sufficient. However the chopped pieces of beef mixed together with shrimp and tiny chicken breast didn't match too well IMO. My family still likes it here and we will be back again.
First time having proper Korean food and it’s AMAZING.I tried the Bulgogi Kimbap and the stir fry udon with chicken. Both have so much flavor. The prices are great too. You HAVE to try this place!!!

I got 2 burgers for my kids on my way home. The burger patty was uncooked inside. It was bloody red. I called the owner about it but she asked me if I want to go back there to return. It was too late and too far to go there. If she was being reasonably nice and cared about my concern, I would try again. The food and the service both don't feel right so I'm not going back there any more.

OMG! On a rainy night in Bayview, I found this treasure of a place. I was welcomed in, dripping wet and served with kindness and patience. I ordered the combination ramen (extra spicy!) and boy was I not disappointed.

Along Northern Blvd there is no lack of Korean comfort food spots, but despite the multitudes Yoodon is a standout with their delicious food, large portions and friendly mom & pop vibe. Their neatly organized and straight forward menu lays out the options - sandwiches, kimbap, ramen, stir-fry, cutlet and of course their homonym namesake udon. The sandwiches are served on a large slab of round wood with a massive mound of fries and salad. The buns are fluffy brioche ones and whatever option you choose you will be happy with and walk out feeling full.You may find slightly less expensive kimbap options around the area, but none come close to the size and deliciousness of what they are packing here. The rolls are huge and filling - some even have extra topping on the side that you can add to your bites.The udon is probably what I get most often with shrimp tempura being a fav - I love dipping the large crunchy shrimp in their delicious broth. I enjoy their aesthetic and presentation of dishes. It all really hits the spot. The friendly service is a bonus as well. I'm a Yoodon fan!
