    jajangmyeon- post mixing it
    Krystina W.

    Located in the small Korean market--on the left hand side when you walk in--small food court with a few others. Got jajangmyeon. (Black bean noodle)and it was decent. Large portion with tender noodles for a fair price of $8.00. A LOT of sauce if you like your noodles like that. There's other stir fry type noodle options if you're craving a quick easy simple noodle dish. (mostly pork, beef, shrimp ingredients though... ). I would recommend trying it out if you have the noodle munchies. Note: if you eat there, don't forget to give back your tray to the designated location you purchased from. (Yes, I was a bit confused too)

    I love Black bean noodle and sweet pork. I used to visit this location few times and it was not bad. However, I am so disappointed for last visiting. I ordered jajang rice and sweet pork and black bean noodle. It was salty and soggy. Also, portion was really small. I usually get J1 for over 4 stars. However, it's not for this location anymore. I think they operate this business under new management. I recommend you guys look for better black bean noodle places around here because there are so many great options. I will never be back

    noodles j-1 did not disappoint! great food, service, and clean tables within the grocery store. yay!!!

    Located inside AR supermarket

    Great black bean noodles $7.99, it's located inside the AR supermarket! It's Hong Kong style

    Menu as of October 14th, 2018. Place serves very delicious udon noodles.

    (American here) I thought the noodles were amazing! Hearty, perfectly cooked and fresh! Amazing value for the price. The staff was very friendly. The complimentary yellow vegetable was incredibly tasty. I would recommend this place!

    This place is small, unassuming, and exactly what you want when you're craving that soulful…read moreChinese-Korean comfort food that tastes like someone's grandmother is in the kitchen cooking just for you. The vibe is traditional home-cook through and through, warm, clean, and completely free of pretension. You walk in and immediately feel like you've found a secret. Service is flawless. Friendly, kind, attentive without it be overbearing or awkward. Now the food. The stir-fried jajangmyeon is on another level. I've never had anything like it. Thick, glossy, deeply savory sauce clinging to every noodle, with that perfect char and intensity you only get from a proper wok. Regular jajangmyeon is still excellent here, but the stir-fried version just kills it. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite and go "wait... this is different." Their Jjamppong is another knockout. The seafood broth is rich, briny, and full of real depth--none of that watered-down stuff. And the tangsuyuk? Fried to a crispy crunch, and loaded with colorful vegetables in a savory-sweet sauce that marries the two that is so good. Once you've had theirs, you start noticing how many places cut corners. Everything arrives piping hot. No lukewarm plates, no sad cooling-off time. Just honest, delicious, down-to-earth Chinese-Korean cooking done to perfection. This is our spot. You'd be amazed, its not the flashiest, not the biggest, just consistently great food made with care. If you want the real deal and not the fake hype, I'd double down here for sure blindly.

    replying to the owner,…read more 네, 비싸요. 5불도 안 하는 3분 오뚜기 짜장이나 짜파게티보다 맛없는 물짜장면이 15불이면 진짜 비싸죠. 차라리 돈 좀 더 내고 다른 데 가서 먹는 게 사실 더 싼거죠. OC area 에서 먹어본 짜장면중에 제일 맛 없었어요. 분식점들 포함. 심지어 여기보다 더 싼 홍콩반점 보다도 맛이 없어요. 손님들을 위해 제 경험을 공유하는데 어쩌라고 기싸움을 하시는건지? Yes, it's expensive. A watery jajangmyeon that tastes worse than a cheap 3-minute Ottogi jajang or Chapaghetti (which costs less than $5) is definitely overpriced at $15. You'd honestly be better off paying a little more and eating somewhere else. This is honestly the worst Jajangmyeon I've ever had in the OC area, even including k-snack bars. It was worse than even Hong Kong Banjeom, which is cheaper than this place. This review was written to share my experience with other potential customers. /////////////////////////////////////////// 한국 시장스타일 물짜장인데 맛집 간짜장보다 비쌈 심지어 맛도 없음 차라리 로렌하이츠 용문루 가세요 overpriced old mom and pops style jjajang myun. not worth the money. will not come back i'd recommend Yong Moon Lu instead for those of you who care for taste and $ value.

    This place will keep you fed and full for a good price. The chicken dishes here are all pretty…read moregood. The soy chicken is super sweet though, to the point where it tastes like candy, so I would be careful w that one if you dont like sweet things. I was in the mood for shrimp the last time I went so I asked for a shrimp dragon bowl. The lady spoke very fast and in very broken English. I believe she asked what type of shrimp and I asked what type they had and she had me go down to the steam table that had one type of shrimp, so I was like "ok, I guess that's the one then." The portions and the cook and temp on the shrimp was really good. The sauce on them was straight up mayonnaise though. Looking back at their menu online I now know this must be their walnut shrimp. Never saw any walnuts though. All mayo. So the next time I go I will ask if I can get a bowl of maybe some sweet and sour or spicy chili shrimp because the mayo all over the bowl was kinda gross. Their firecracker chicken, orange chicken, kung pow chicken are all good and the egg rolls they give as part of the combos are the highlight of the meal for sure. The past couple of times I have gone they were still stocking the drinks in the ice bin so when they asked me to take a drink as part of the combo each time they had not stocked any of the sugar free sodas. I mentioned to them if they had a diet soda I would take one and they just stonewalled me and didn't reach over to the stack of cases of diet soda along the wall of the restaurant. So yeah, not the most helpful of service sometimes. I think it might be because they are always so busy and they have one speed where you don't stop to smell the roses and make that connection, but at least you can say that they keep the line moving.

    I think this is the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. Got Orange Chicken (no flavor) Fried…read morerice (super dry) noodles (again flavorless) The order was wrong. Ordered a large pork fried rice (got shrimp) Honestly it was bad. Oh the egg roll tasted like dirt. It's a walk up and order establishment so I won't address ambiance. I don't get the hype about this place. I've had better from the Panda chain.
