    Jjajangmyun Combo Tangsuyuk
    Chrissy L.

    The Jjajangmyun Combo Tangsusuk came in a very large portion enough to leave you very full. Taste was average. A good option if you want generous portions at a reasonable price.

    Probably one of the most popular places in the hmart westpark food court. The portions are huge and shareable, the service is fast, and the food is flavored well. We got the black bean noodle with tangsuyuk combo. The bowl does seem smaller than before, but its okay as in general its still shareable. The noodle soup ones however are huge and does have that seafood fragrance. Black bean noodle- good noodles with nice chew, flavor is good with potatoes onion and pork chopped in nice square flavors. Not too salty or black bean fermented tasting, not too oily, overall well made. Pickles- soo good to go with the noodles. Its saltier than you expect (as the yellow ones from the package are sweet) but the crunch helps break up the chewy mass of the noodles and its good to ask for extra. Tangsuyuk - got the sauce on the side. Suuper thick sauce. Sweet and sour, best if you like orange chicken. The breading is not too oily, airy and with a nice chew crunch (not hard) Overall, I feel like the quality has stayed consistent and the flavor even improved so I'd recommend here if you have this craving. I would love some fresh/pickled veg like pickled onions or cucumber, but i dont think thats authentic lol.

    Located in the foodcourt of the hmart- It's just okay. Went on a weekday lunch. Was told that they're getting backed up and it would take 15-20 minutes. That's fine. Ordered a combo of the jajang and the tangsuyuk... It was pretty straightforward. Order, pay, wait for the number to be called and get it. Eat, return the tray. Ambiance wise, it's a food court so quick in and out for this one. The food though was tbh, just okay. I felt that the sauce of the jajangmyeon was a little watered down. It seemed that it lacked that oomph that other places have. Maybe it's because they were overwhelmed with all the orders. It's also a little pricey standalone wise compared to other places. But since I got it as a combo with the tangsuyuk, it wasn't bad. The tangsuyuk was served with the sauce on it. I should have requested to have it on the side. Unfortunately, they dont really offer water here. They can give you a disposable cup and send you to a water fountain. So best to just get a drink / boba from another spot. In anycase, this one is just okay.

    I think this is our new favorite place for jjampong in Irvine -- we had previous said it was Paik's Noodles on culver, but I think it's here now. Compared to Paik's, Kyodong's broth has more seafood flavor and is a little less spicy. I think there's less pork as well. Overall, it makes for a milder but more rich and nuanced flavor. As for ingredients, Kyodong gives you more shellfish and less veggies and pork. The bowl at Kyodong is also larger, so there's a nicer presentation (for those who care about presentation at a food court lol). We're definitely coming back.

    Korean Chinese spot with solid portions but the flavor didn't fully hit. Jajangmyeon: Maybe? It was fine but felt a little too light. Missing that deep savory punch that makes this dish so satisfying. Sweet and Sour Chicken: Maybe? Also just okay. The coating was crispy but the sauce leaned way too sweet for me. Would've been better with a little more balance. Portions were big though which I appreciated. Good value for how much food you get but not something I'd crave again. Food: 6/10 Value: 7/10

    Jjajangmyun Noodles

    Tucked away into the hmart food court is where you'll find this spot. I came here on my lunch with a coworker to try out something different than what we'd normally get. He got the jjajang noodles with fried dumplings and I got the pork fried rice with jjajang sauce. His noodles came out very watery... different from any jjajang noodles we have ever gotten anywhere else. By the time he got past the sauce and the top half of the noodles he was faced with a soupy watery bowl. The fried dumpling was good, had a nice crispy outer shell and a soft chewy mix of meat and veggies. Nothing too crazy, nothing too extravagant but it sufficed. The fried rice was mostly good, but I couldn't even finish half. The portion is huge and it's very filling. The pork was a bit dry while the rice tasted drenched in oil and salt. The jjajang sauce was good though to eat together with the rice. The service was great - the worker was very friendly and professional. Since it's inside the hmart food court expect it to be loud - plenty of seating inside though. Overall, I don't know if I'd come back to try it again. The food just did not impress me, unfortunately. The noodles became soup and the rice was super oily. If I come back again I'd have to try something else to see if it's worth it.

    Seafood Jajangmyeon Noodles
    May W.

    Nice option in the H-Mart food court. The jjampong noodles are a large portion and can be shared by two people easily. Maybe I don't like jjampong, but the noodles were very saucy and not that much flavor. Service was fast and nice!

    Jjamppong Noodles
    Yena W.

    Their jjamppong is so huge, enough for two or one very hungry person, with perfect noodle texture in a gloriously red spicy seafood broth that will leave an orange-red ring around your mouth. The +$20 price for a bowl of noodle soup in a food court might be eyebrow raising but the generous portion and the frozen but still good variety of seafood that flavors the broth so nicely is well worth it.

    Pork Fried Rice
    Norma M.

    We came here to check out the food court inside HMart on Alton Parkway. Lots of good Asian food stalls inside. I ended up ordering Pork Fried Rice at Kyodong. Friendly and fast service despite the long line. I like that there is a monitor in front of each stall displaying your order #, to let you know if your food is ready. There's also someone who announces the order # when ready. My pork fried rice was very tasty and generous portion. I had it for 4 meals I think. The only knock was how the pork was cut (wished it was thinner or maybe small cubes) but taste-wise I truly enjoyed it. I also liked the black bean sauce with onions that it came with.

    Good Jjajangmyeon is hard to find. Sure a lot of Korean spots serve it, but is it good? Located in the food court of the H-Mart, this place can get busy. First few times I came in, this was the only spot that had a line forming during lunch hour rush. I used Grubhub/Yelp a few times to order ahead so it was ready to eat when I arrived. This however means you're eating out of a plastic bowl instead a real one. It's nice that the noodles/sauce are separated for to-go orders. You'll be waiting quite a bit if you order directly (though it seems they do prioritize these orders) Noodles nice and bouncy, sauce full of flavor. Can't go wrong with "Korean Black Bean Spaghetti!" pickled radish is a good compliment. It's not the best Jjajangmyeon I've ever head, but its priced on par with today's world, and satisfies a craving. Don't get the spicy...literally $1 for just some Gochugaru powder sprinkled on top.

    The black bean noodles, seafood noodles and fried pork here always hit a craving. I might be wrong but I believe they used to have another location close in the vicinity but I think they closed down to move inside the food court? It's a shame they don't have the restaurant style seating anymore. Regardless, I'll always come here if I'm craving black bean/or seafood noodles. Even for takeout it's still good :)

    Kan Poong Shrimp
    Heidi C.

    I used to love this place back when the owner was in Barranca -- the food was delicious, portions were generous, and the service was always warm and friendly. Since moving into the food court, it seems like the business is still doing well without much advertising. However, the atmosphere has changed. There are usually just young staff at the front, and unfortunately, friendly service no longer seems to be a priority. It feels like the owner is no longer involved or paying attention. The Jajangmyeon and Jjamppong haven't tasted the same for a while now -- they've definitely lost the old flavor. Most recently, I ordered the Kkanpung Shrimp, and all the batter was clumped together in one big piece. That was really disappointing.

The scallion pancakes were very layered, probably one of the best looking ones we've ordered. The beef rolls were also one of the nicest presentations I've seen. They were perfectly wrapped and not a single green onions or cilantro fell off. Service was excellent. Granted there was only one wait staff but he was very attentive and observant. I saw a black dot on my plate, he immediately went to get a new plate for me without me asking. He constantly came to check on us and add more water. Overall, it was OK. It does have a huge variety of selection. Next time I would like to try more dishes and maybe skewers too.

Massive parking lot so that was easy, one friend went ahead and let them know we had 10 incoming. They made room and we sat immediately. One of the spots that you scan a menu at the table and you review, order and pay all in the app. I was really not familiar with the line up and went with the "House Special Beef Pot Roodle" (Roodles are their rice noodles). It was a weekend only item and I tried that. The noodles came separate from the soup. Over all it was very tasty. The meat was a bit fatty and the soup had tendons too. I took that part home and my wife loved it. I tend to avoid the fatty meat and tendons are not good to me. 10 of us so some of the appetizers got passed around. The smashed cucumbers are excellent, and my buddy also got some friend potatoes of sorts, reminded me of a fat French fry. Because my buddy and I sat at the same table we scanned the same menu, he ordered a bunch of stuff and also House Special Beef Pot Roodle. That confused the kitchen and they asked me if I meant to order 2, I said no and didn't realize I cancelled my buddy's order. Part of the confusion of a large party and many scanned menu orders. My buddy was struggling to order and our initial waiter seemed to not understand my friend and that took a little bit to work out, young lady came from the back and was able to quickly resolve some of the confusion and get questions answered as needed. In the end he had lot of food to explore. One thing that caught my eye was several couples there and sharing a large soup item served with a tray of various food items for the soup. Kind of a date night visual and something that looked very interesting. Several couples around us had that same dish and its got me more curious. Might have to come back with my wife and try this one.

Polite, quick, and doing their best in a situation that could only be described as "culinary confusion." The food? I'm still trying to figure out what happened. The broth tasted like it was made by someone who's heard of seasoning but refuses to believe in it. The meat portion? I've seen more protein in a microwavable noodle cup. And then there's the very bold "better than pho" claim. Better than pho?? My brother in broth, that is delusion with confidence. And the price--$19! For that much, you can get a glorious XL bowl of pho elsewhere stacked with meat, loaded with herbs, and seasoned by someone who actually cares. Meanwhile, I took two bites here, sat in silence, reflected on my life choices, and walked out. The bowl stayed behind, untouched and unbothered. To make things even more tragic, I only ended up here because Whealthy Pasta next door opens late on weekends. Honestly, the biggest plot twist of my day. Great service, terrible food. Funny experience, but not funny enough to ever try again. This place disappoints!
