Ye Dang Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in Tustin

Overall rating is 3 & 1/2. Taste : Good. Cleanness : Excellent. Service : Improvable.

Relatively new one. I only visited once without any companion. So consider my opinion can be biased.

I picked up a specific one that I liked most among many Korean signature dishes. That was 'Kongbiji,' or tofu residue hot soup. The main dish was so so. Actually it was a bit disappointing. However, the rest side dishes were great. There were more than 6-7 dishes including Kimchi, Soy sauced tofu, Sprout bean salad, and so like. All were very delicious. I think they use quite a high quality rice. The cooked rice was splendid. That was one of the best rice I ever tasted in Korean restaurants in Southern California.

One thing about service. They failed to hand me some napkins before I started my meal and didn't notice at the end of my eating. That was I think quite a huge mistake because there were more than 4-5 servers and they didn't seem to be busy. Moreover, I was sitting just in front of their desk.

I think I should try one or more main dishes here again because my friend who recommended this place said ALL (Da) the food here are delicious, but I only tried one kind of the main dishes...

The waitress was incredibly rude I don’t know how they’re still in business. I had to grab my own menu since it was a table for myself. They were slow and inattentive and when I asked for the bill and a box, the waitress told me that I couldn’t pack my half eaten (ban chan) kimchi to go.

I asked her why since I already ate from it they’ll probably just throw it away? And then she said that the kimchi is only for here. Then she said fine just pack it. Like, I already paid for it, I really didn’t understand the fuss. No tip cuz tip is something earned. I literally didn’t even pack the kimchi or any of the ban Chan but was just saving the galbi bones for my dog. But what type of...

Food is decent. Rarely see this place busy. I definitely don’t know how some Korean restaurants survive with the amount of food they bring you and relative cost. That being said I did notice a few minor things. The place is basic so don’t expect fancy. Maybe not the place to go on a date unless you’re into low key places. I was charged $2 more than what the menu showed. I checked on my way out. Initially when I walked in I didn’t like the seat that was assigned to me. On an empty restaurant. (I didn’t sit there). I see myself coming here as it’s close to my workplace but other than that prob not. Hospitable staff, quick serving and reasonable price. That is a solid Tuesday...
