Yuk Dae Jang Irvine — Restaurant in Westpark

We ordered a kid’s SulLungTang, a (S) premium bossam, beef bulgogi with glass noodles, and the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Rib with Flat Glass Noodle. Everything was delicious! I wish we were told that the Small bossam would be “appetizer style” because we found out after that the medium and large come on the skillet with the tofu. But it was delicious! All the accompaniments were so good, everything paired so well together. Would absolutely eat this again. The bulgogi glass noodles was good but a smidge too sweet. I didn’t understand why this came on a burner because every was cooked and the heat just made it more soggy. The server said to turn off the fire once it boils but it was all cooked already so I didn’t get it. The spicy braised beef ribs was soooooo good. Definitely spicy even when we got the “less spicy” level. The chewy rice cakes and noodles cooked on the burner and it just made everything combine so well and tasty! Love the squash and veggies in it and the flat glass noodles were great. Chewy and delicious. Oh! And they have purple rice!!!

Service - fantastic! Every single person/server was so extremely helpful and nice from being greeted at the door to our dining experience up to leaving. Explained everything very well. It was our first time here. Made our dining very enjoyable.

Parking - strip mall area, free parking lot! It’s a small restaurant so it can get busy. Plus it a near an HMart. So I can see parking can...

Love this Korean noodle chain! Depending on the times you are there, this place (and it's other locations) can get PRETTY PACKED! I had the original yuk gae jang and all noodles generally come with the beef strips and a LOT of onions. Spice levels are tolerable, unless you really can't handle spicy foods. Most noodles come with glass noodles, but I highly recommend the fresh pasta since the noodles are thicker and easier to see. All the noodles are delicious however so I'm always having difficulty picking. 🤣 Location of this place is near H-Mart, a Korean marketplace, and if this place is too crowded and you're not patient enough to wait, I'd recommend checking out the other food...

The first thing I want to say is the service here is SO GOOD. I would day it’s rare to find a place with good quality food AND amazing service like this. The people are all so friendly and attentive - it was nice to be able to eat good food and also be surrounded by good vibes. We got the yukgaejang ramen and yukgaejang soondubu. Both were flavored very well and we’d order them again. The kimchi mandu was not for me and I probably wouldn’t order them again but the side dishes made up for it!! The kimchi is perfect for pairing with soup. It was perfectly ripe for me and I usually don’t like fish cake as a side dish but I couldn’t stop eating this one here! Overall, we will be back...
