We love this place because the service is always fast and efficient, and the food is consistently good. You can have a drink or two if you'd like, but since we were driving, we decided to skip the drinks this time. After they sat us, we ordered our food immediately on the kiosk that was on the table. It really made it super easy. We ordered the steak, which is always super tender and flavorful. The beef tofu soup and of course my Coke! One order is honestly more than enough for the two of us, especially because we definitely eat differently now than we did when we were younger. Lol We shared our meal, and it was the perfect amount for both of us. Sometimes you just want a place that's easy, delicious, and gets the job done without any fuss and this place definitely does that for us! We love dinning here especially during the summer as the ac is always on blast! We'll definitely be back soon!

I have been wanting to try this place but I was really disappointed with the quality and flavor…read more The flavor was definitely lacking. I did, however, enjoy the complimentary side dishes - in particular the fish cake. That was yummy! Tell me why I wanted/ ordered soup when it was literally nearly triple digits. We also got an order of the Galbi, which also lacked flavor. Service was fine. They close from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m., which we did not know but that was our fault. We went back at 4, and it wasn't busy. Nice size parking lot but it is on a busy street. Finding parking is not difficult though.

We asked more than once. Each time we were passed over while other things took priority. We eventually left without eating. Even tho the food looked great. I'm not writing this because the wait was long. A wait is fine. Being told "it'll be about 20 minutes" is fine. What wasn't fine was being treated as though we weren't there at all, repeatedly, by the owner. It's a small thing to make eye contact and say "we'll be with you shortly," and it's the difference between a customer who waits patiently and one who walks out feeling disrespected. I can't speak to the food, we never got to try it. I can only speak to how we were treated, and it was disappointing enough that we won't be returning. 어느 정도 붐비는 저녁 시간에 아내와 함께 방문해 자리를 안내해 달라고 요청했습니다. 그런데 아무런 응대도 받지 못했습니다. 인사도, 대기 시간 안내도 없었고, 저희가 서 있다는 사실 자체를 인지하고 있다는 어떤 표시도 없었습니다. 한 번이 아니라 여러 번 요청했지만 그때마다 그냥 지나쳐졌습니다. 결국 식사를 하지 못하고 나왔습니다. 기다리는 시간이 길어서 이 글을 쓰는 것이 아닙니다. 기다리는 것은 괜찮습니다. "20분 정도 걸립니다"라는 안내 한마디만 있었어도 괜찮았을 겁니다. 문제는 사장님으로부터 저희가 그 자리에 아예 없는 사람처럼 반복해서 대우받았다는 점입니다. 눈을 마주치고 "곧 안내해 드리겠습니다"라고 말하는 것은 아주 사소한 일이지만, 손님이 편안히 기다리느냐 무시당했다고 느끼며 나가느냐를 가르는 차이입니다. 음식에 대해서는 평가할 수 없습니다. 맛볼 기회조차 없었으니까요. 저희가 받은 응대에 대해서만 말씀드릴 수 있고, 그 응대는 다시 방문하지 않을 만큼 실망스러웠습니다.

We were seated immediately which was super nice and able to order fairly quickly. The restaurant is decently sized and run by the nicest people ever. They were very patient and courteous our whole dining experience in the restaurant. The menu is extensive but with the humid weather my friend and I were very excited for a bowl of cold noodles. The cold noodles were perfect, and the portions were huge for the price you pay! Everything was delicious, and the banchan was probably some of the best I've ever had at any Korean restaurant in the US. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area!

Went on a Friday around 11:30 so we could beat the lunch rush. We did beat the lunch rush (when we…read moreleft, the parking lot was full!), but it was still pretty full with a lot of older Korean folks in there, so you know this place is good! We ordered the bibim naengmyeon & bulgogi ssam. The wait to get the food and banchan was a bit on the longer side because there only seemed to be 3 ladies running around serving anyone, but totally worth the wait. They gave us a complimentary small portion of the mul naengmyeon which was so chewy and delicious and refreshing. But my favorite definitely was the bibim naengmyeon- it was beautifully presented with half a hard-boiled egg, a few slices of brisket, shredded cucumbers, a slice of Asian pear, and a stack of thinly sliced pickled radishes on top. I think it could have used a little bit more heat, but the flavor was delicious! The bulgogi ssam was good-- less beef than I was hoping for, but well cooked and nicely flavored. The veggies they gave us were very impressive- very clean and fresh! And the sauce was so good. The banchan were all so good-- my favorites were the spinach banchan and fish cake banchan! This place has now officially taken over on my list as my favorite Korean restaurant in the South Bay!

So this is my honest experience of this restaurant from my visit today at dinner time…read more It's not good. It about 60% full. Our food was mediocre at best. We ordered the galbi combo with spicy tofu. Soup was under seasoned and inedible. The galbi was the cheapest flaken cut you can buy at the Korean market. Its was fatty and full of gristle and was not cooked and was raw in the middle. The staff in Korean were bad mouthing and so sour working there it was sad. If you under staffed and unhappy then go to the back and scream and cuss but Why are you so sour and make sure the customers can hear you while passing by with the food and complain it's too busy ? There was one elderly lady maybe in her 80s with possibly her two daughters. They were sitting there for at least 45 minutes when the waitress came up and said I just want to double check your order that's when they realized that the waitress didn't even put their order in they were saying in Korean that please don't leave. Granny is here and we will get the food out as soon as possible and yet as they were leaving the table, you can see them with a smirk on their face. It was disgusting. The worst part is isn't actually even over there must've been a table of 20 across from us celebrating a birthday and they were there before we were and they must have been served at least an hour after us and the waitresses were so rude to them. I felt so bad for that party, but they looked so laid-back. I don't know if they really even noticed or cared. We ended up trying to pay for 10 minutes to get out of there and finally just got our own containers from the weight station a plastic bag and as they saw that we were leaving they finally took our payment Maybe this was an off night maybe there was a different cook in the back maybe they were so busy that they just couldn't pay attention to flavor any of their food or cook it thoroughly. Maybe they were short and someone called in for staffing. All I know is everyone with the prior reviews seem to have great service and food, but this is definitely not what we experienced and definitely not what the table behind us or the table in front of experienced This was by far hands-down, the worst experience. Hopefully this never happens to you cause we'll never come back.

The worker was very friendly and service was quick. We asked for his recommendation and he suggested we try any of the yukgaejang. He brought out two sets of banchan - fish cakes which were firmer and more seasoned with sesame oil than some other place which was pleasant, a nice sweet fresh kimchi, and some chive kimchi, as well as the condiments for our dishes. To split, we got the small bossam, the rice cake and dumpling soup, the mul naengmyeon, and the yukgaejang with fresh pasta. Everything was super flavorful, large enough to split between the 5 of us, and delicious. The standouts are definitely the yukgaejang - the fresh pasta may sound weird but is a nice chewy thick noodle and the broth is rich and flavorful with just a bit of spice - and the bossam - at a lot of places the small bossam is still huge, and this was a good size so that we still had room for other dishes, and the meat itself was more flavorful, tender and nice and warm on the steamer that it came out on! The rice cake and dumpling soup and the mul naengmyeon were also solid. I'll definitely be back at Yuk Dae Jang for a warm comforting bowl of yukgaejang and bossam with friends :) Bonus, you don't have to go to ktown!

I had one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had at this restaurant. I came in…read moreintending to order food, but before I could even sit down, I politely asked if I could sit inside for a moment because of the extreme heat while I requested an Uber home. Instead of showing any understanding or hospitality, the owner told me to leave the restaurant and wait in the coffee shop next door. I was shocked because I had every intention of purchasing food. I wasn't causing a disturbance or asking for anything unreasonable. The way I was spoken to and treated made me feel embarrassed, unwelcome, and honestly as though I was being judged before I was even given a chance to order. I left feeling humiliated. Customer service is about treating people with basic kindness and respect, and unfortunately, that was completely missing during my visit. I won't be returning, and I hope the owner learns that a little compassion can make a huge difference in how customers are treated.

Both soups were so watered down that the signature richness was completely gone. It tasted nothing like the hearty broth I used to love here. I understand business might be slow on hot days, but watering down the soup is not the answer. This place used to serve some of the richest, most flavorful broths, but not today. We let the server know the soup was very bland after paying, hoping it was just an off day. I was even planning to take out the same soup, but ended up going to Wooga Sulung Tang in Gardena instead to grab the same soup for my boyfriend -- and it was much better. If this is a change from new management, it's a big mistake. Please don't serve watered‑down soup to customers. Very disappointing.

Her banchan are known for being: Never excessive Focused on the natural flavor of each ingredient Clean, balanced, and beautifully composed Served with a banchan cover that keeps everything protected and perfectly neat. Each dish feels like a quiet supporter that enhances the meat without ever overpowering it. Chadolbagi : The richness is unbeatable -- pure, clean beefy flavor. Samgyeopsal : A perfect match with aged kimchi. Truly a dream pairing. Nakji-bokkeum : Sweet, salty, and spicy all at once -- the kind of flavor that makes you reach for a spoonful of rice immediately. Cheese Pancake : Crispy outside, soft inside, with melted cheese wrapping around the green onions. Great texture between bites of meat. Kimchi Stew : The depth of aged kimchi comes through clearly -- not harsh, just clean and comforting. Steamed Egg : Soft, fluffy, and cloud‑like. Simple but perfect.
