This is my go-to place once the weather hits 95°. During the weekdays, this place is not crowded…read more The busiest times to go are Sunday afternoons! I always order the Cold Arrowroot Noodles. The taste of the vinegar and mustard always leave me salivating. The mustard helps to clear your nose, so be careful not too put too much at once! The noodles are uber chewy, so make sure to take up their offer of cutting the noodles before you eat. The kimchi here is so good they actually sell the kimchi to take home and enjoy. Despite giving both red and white kimchi while dining in person, the white kimchi will always be my favorite. The white kimchi is not spicy, but still has the hallmark vinegar taste with the crunch I've come to expect. This place is very generous with the kimchi- don't be afraid to ask for another small plate of kimchi! This place has a modern vibe, with the beige and white tones. The tables themselves are equipped with a pull-out drawer than includes spoons, chopsticks, and napkins. This allows for quick efficiency when getting seated! Definitely a go-to in sunny Southern California!

First time trying Korean cold noodles at MDK Noodles…read more We tried the Cold Kimchi Green Chlorella Noodle Soup, Cold Spicy Kimchi Noodle Soup, and Cold Arrowroot Noodle Soup. I got the green chlorella noodles, which was definitely something different for me. The noodles were really tender and good, and I liked all the toppings that came with them. Everything tasted fresh and the banchan was good too. I think I realized that cold noodles just aren't necessarily my go-to. That's more of a personal preference though, because the food itself was good. If you already like Korean cold noodles, I think you'd really enjoy this place. Glad I tried something new. 7/10

Food: We ordered the Galbi-Tang and Sul-Long-Tang, and our food came out pretty quickly. Both soups were really flavorful and comforting, and the broth was definitely the most memorable part of the meal. The banchan on the side was a little weaker compared to some other Korean spots I've been to, but the soups more than made up for it. Parking: They have their own parking lot, which made parking easy when we visited. I really enjoyed the food here and would definitely come back, especially when I'm craving a comforting bowl of soup.

Han Yang is good. It's also wonderfully old school. Nothing about the place feels particularly…read moreinterested in being redesigned for Instagram, which I appreciate. You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I'd start. The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything. That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you're hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you're convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter. The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want. Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That's preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down. The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing. The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job. Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you're seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef's table at the restroom, but here we are. Somehow I don't particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn't polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines. Absolutely coming back. And next time, I'm getting that bibimbap again.

Always have to visit Mr BBQ in Fullerton when I visit SoCal…read more Amazing service, the waiter was quick to bring our food and refilled our waters and banchan seamlessly. The lunch price is hard to beat, what a value for $30 per person. The quality of the meat is top notch for the price. That's why they emphasize its Premium AYCE. Kimchi stew was nice and spicy, and steamed egg was perfectly cooked. There were a lot of banchan dishes and there were free refills. Salad is on the side to balance out the meat. A lot of people celebrate their birthdays at the restaurant, they put a candle on then complimentary ice cream everyone gets and you can choose a song to play as they bring out the dessert. Very fun vibe. During lunch when it's not that busy, you don't feel pressured to finish eating in 90 min. But wait times can get over 3 hours for dinner time if you arrive later.

Japchae was kinda dry. No wait around 6PM on a Thursday and quick service, with a convenient self ordering kiosk at every table. Ample parking in lot.

The stir-fried squid with noodles was delicious and came in a generous portion. The LA Galbi also tasted good, but the portion was disappointing. It looked like we got mostly small leftover pieces with very little meat compared to other Korean restaurants, especially for $33.99. The stir-fried kimchi with tofu was another letdown--the amount of tofu was very small for $36.99. The food overall was tasty, but the service was one of the strangest experiences I've had. Our banchan (side dishes) didn't come until after the appetizer, and only because we asked. We also had to ask for water. Our appetizer arrived without any sauce, and later they brought soy sauce with wasabi, which wasn't even for our seafood pancake or fried dumplings. After all of our food was served, no one came back to check on us--not even once. I'm honestly not exaggerating. The staff kept disappearing, and at one point we saw them all eating lunch together in the dining area, which made us uncomfortable interrupting them. When we were ready to leave, we needed to-go boxes and the check, but no one was around. We finally had to ask a lady who had just clocked in. Our bill was over $300, and honestly, we didn't feel the service deserved a tip. This place is a hit or miss. The food is good, and that's the only reason I'd consider coming back. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience for our entire group. As much as we enjoyed the food, we wouldn't recommend this place based on the service alone.
