    First time trying this shot, I was interested in comparing it to Myeongdong jiajiangmyeon in the pacific pearl plaza. Ordered a sweet and sour pork, jiajiangmyeon, and spicy noodle soup (can't remember the name). The sweet and sour pork was just alright, nothing too special and a good amount of batter compared to pork inside. Jiajiangmyeon was great, noodles were al dente and sauce paired perfectly. My only gripe is that the sweet and sour pork is a bit pricey for what it was

    Jjampong with noodles

    I've been coming here for a while now and it's always been spot on. I only get the regular jjampong. I have tried the chili one and the meat one but I think the regular seafood one is the best. They are very generous with the seafood and it could be spicier (for me everything can be spicier) but it is fairly spicy and the broth is very rich. I always come for lunch usually by myself during a weekday and it is never crowded and the service is excellent. There is only one lady there who is always there during weekday lunches and she will check on how I'm doing about twice during the meal, which is the Goldilocks amount of how much I want to be checked in on. My daughter loves the jjajangmyeon here. I'm not a huge fan of jjajangmyeon but I have tried the spicy seafood mixed one and it is delicious. We have also tried some other dishes and honestly, you can't miss with whatever you order here. So flavorful and textures are perfect and they are generous with their portions. I did read another reviewer mention that the portion size did become smaller with the new ownership and I also noticed that. However the portion size now is still way more than you should eat in one sitting (though I still do and regret it every time). Highly recommend this place.

    What an amazing place for noodle soup! If you like tasty noodle soup that's full of goodness, I think you should check this out. We came here on a cold night and the food certainly hit the spot! Husband ordered a beef jjampong while I had the regular seafood jjampong. Both were excellent, full of flavor and filled with lots of soft veggies and seafood/beef, thus not very carby, just the way we like it. It was a feast for the senses and the stomach! I think this is the best Korean food I've ever tasted. And the women who work there are so kind and gentle, I love them!!

    We came to try the place after watching culinary class wars and it was good. Super fast service and tasty stuff.

    I haven't been back in awhile. I noticed the menu has changed to the double sided menu instead of the thick book of menu. We tried the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings( we asked less spicy and they were able to do it) , meat jajangmyeon and beef jjamppong. The chicken wing was so so. A bit too much sauce for me. And I felt the meat that went with jajangmyeon was a bit dry. I would probably get the regular jajangmyeon next time without the meat like we used to. The beef jjamppong wa prob the best of all we tried this time. Service, not much. We didn't get water refill until we asked. Inside area was clean. Plenty of parking.

    Came here with some friends and shared a few dishes: jajangmyeon, fried dumplings, and kkanpunggi. Overall, everything was decent, but the kkanpunggi definitely stood out as the highlight. I'd absolutely order that again! Prices are reasonable and I'm glad we got to try a variety of dishes!

    The food was so good, I've been thinking about getting the stir fried jajangmyeon ever since having it here. Tastes so much better than the regular in my opinion. The cream shrimp was very good too, reminiscent of honey walnut prawns especially with the cream sauce. The shrimp were pretty big too. The service was excellent and my gf and I had a great meal here. Definitely coming back

    I'd been to the one in Santa Clara when it first opened about decade ago and wasn't terribly impressed. After watching Culinary Class Wars, my husband wanted to try it so we decided to give the new location closer to us a chance. Rating Breakdown: 1.5/2 Stars for Taste -- Our favorite dish was the fried pork (tangsuyuk). The breading was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, almost tasted more like a guobaorou. The dipping sauce has just the right amount of tang and I appreciate that it's served on the side. The jajangmyeon is solid, it comes with a good amount of meat (and peas, I could hear my sister complaining in my head). Not the best I've had but not the worst either. The jjampong came with a generous serving of seafood but lacked the classic wok hei flavor. I would skip this next time. 1/1 Stars for Value -- $11 for a giant bowl of jajangmyeon is a pretty great deal. They give you so much sauce you could easily pay a few dollars for extra noodles and make this a double portion. If you get a noodle dish and an entree to share, you'll probably spend about $20-25 per person. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- We came with our twin stroller and the server was kind enough to find us a table with ample room to accommodate it. Our food came out quick and I appreciate that they give you scissors and extra bowls for the noodles without asking. We beat the rush and there was a small line when we finished. The servers were efficient but never made us feel rushed. Bonus star because if I'd come back to the the stir fried jajang and jajang rice next time!

    I used to go the one next door Young Dong but this one has different menu even though both are Korean food. I like their stir fried Jajangmyeon, spicy but good. The noodle was chewy and portion was huge enough for two.

    Jajangmyeon
    Jonny T.

    So my beautiful wife and I wanted to try this spot, ever since we heard about it on social media. Let's say we were not disappointed! The fast paced restaurant, offers a variety of wonderful dishes, to eat on your own, or share with your table. We ordered 2 bowls of the Jajangmyeon, vegetable fried rice and an order of their sweet and sour pork. I will say the Jajangmyeon was delicious and it really hit the spot! The sweet and sour pork, offered a crunchy but subtle texture when I took my first bite. Definitely tasted better than your typical run of the mill, Chinese counter part. The vegetable fried rice at first I thought was too bland, and needed more flavor, but in the end it was delicious and really surprised me. There are two locations in the Bay Area, Santa Clara and Dublin. I can't wait to visit the South Bay location, to see if it's equally good. Service: 10/10 Food: :10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 (typical Asian restaurant noise) Overall: 20/10

    Stirfried jjajang, Tansuyuk, Jjamppong noodles
    Kara M.

    The review is based off of takeout. Although I did takeout, the server was so sweet and offered us waters and chair to sit outside as we waited. The ambience was calm and casual eating. We loved all of the korean chinese food we ordered: Stirfried jjajangmeyon (5/5)-got it less spicy and it was perfect! Jjampong (5/5)-perfect flavoring def my fave Deep fried pork, or tangsuyuk (4/5)-the flavor was amazing, they do have an interesting breading ratio to meat but when you first get it omg the portion size and the crunchy texture is to die for. Would highly recommend!

    Really great place to come for black bean noodles! I came here for a group of 4 and we definitely over ordered. Their portions are super huge. We got a spicy stir fried jajang (typically for 1-2 people), chow mein, jam pong, and sweet sour fried pork. My favorite which I was really surprised by was the sweet and spicy pork! I like that the sauce came on the side so the pork stayed crispy and the pork was so juicy inside: My group has different favorites for the noodles so I'd say to go with what you're feeling. Stir fried spicy black bean noodles have heavier flavors and pack a punch! Some people say that it's a bit much after while but I personally really enjoyed it. Spicy seafood soup noodles were another favorite, the soup was spicy and hot and there was lots of seafood in it. Chowmein was a more mild garlicky flavor with lots of vegetables. This was my least favorite but good as something with simpler flavors.

    Tucked away from driver's view is a nice restaurant that is hiding in a corner building at San Ramon valley blvd in West Dublin. I'm so glad a friend of mine told me about this place. We used to drive all the way to Santa Clara just to get our jajangmyeon craving fixed. Little did we know, we have one similar to it right in our own neighborhood. I was quite surprised when I tasted their dishes that it resemble our favorite restaurant. It is a must try place to have lunch in the trivalley area.

Consider this place to almost be a "make your own ramen" type of thing, in that you're given a platter of toppings to add to your bowl of steaming hot broth, mix it and let it sit, then voila! It's ready to eat. For a rainy winter evening, it was perfect to have some tasty noodle soup!

The service was really good, they are super on top of cleaning and serving so my food came out in about 15-20 minutes. I got the combo with an appetizer, drink, and noodle soup. The portions were pretty generous. -grapefruit tea: thought it was pretty yummy! I also tried out the super fruit tea and i really liked it but personally found it to be a little too sweet. Not too much to displease though! I mixed some water and it was perfect for me. -tomato beef brisket noodle soup: i was surprised by how tender the meat was and how much they actually give you. If you love tomato soups as much as i do then it's definitely a great option! -takoyaki & lamb skewers: my sister had one dish from her combo order and i has my own but was able to try both! The lamb skewers were a bit smaller than expected but were flavorful with a fragrant aroma. The takoyaki came in about 5 balls and while they didn't include all typical takoyaki toppings it was still pretty good considering it came as a combo! Overall, i really loved coming by this place, my main concern is that it's actually in a pretty busy plaza so parking can be a little difficult during peak business hours. Otherwise it's located in a really great area relatively close to some shopping areas such as the Livermore outlets or even other smaller shopping plazas. Give this place a try if you're in the area and looking for a good eat without breaking the wallet!

When I brought it up and even pointed out the worker, the staff claimed they had no idea what I was talking about. At that point, I just let it go but honestly, it didn't get any better from there. Every dish we ordered was bland, lacked flavor, and wasn't consistent at all. To make matters worse, I noticed something concerning near the cashier. They were refilling the water jug using what looked like a used plastic container that didn't appear clean or sanitary, which was really off-putting. Overall, this experience was disappointing from start to finish, both in terms of service and food quality.

We ordered the egg tofu with veggies, beef brisket, ham and egg fried rice, and the chicken with Chinese sausage clay pot. The beef brisket was the clear winner -- tender, flavorful, and they give you a generous portion. No tiny rationed pieces hiding in sauce. The overall flavor profile was balanced and comforting without feeling overloaded with MSG. The egg tofu was light and nicely seasoned, and the fried rice delivered that classic Hong Kong café vibe. The clay pot had great flavor too, though I personally prefer larger pieces of chicken with less bone. Just a texture preference -- seasoning was on point. Prices are reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. You leave full without feeling like you overpaid. Ambiance is casual and simple. One drawback during the summer: there were quite a few flies while we were dining. The doors were closed, so it was a bit puzzling and definitely distracting. Overall, good flavors, good portions, good prices. I'd come back -- especially for that brisket -- just hoping the fly situation improves during warmer months.
