I wouldn't recommend this place if you have rowdy toddlers or babies crying. It's relatively small! Ordered their Guilang Hot & Sour Beef soup which had the perfect amount of acidity and chew on the noodles. We also got the Tomato Beef but it felt like it was missing something. The chicken wontons were decent, came in a seafood soup base. The last dish was the dry shaved noodles with beef rib which was delicious! However, as it got cold, it felt boring. Portions are big so I suggest sharing with someone and ordering an appetitizer like their beef roll.

Feeling like some Korean food, I remembered being curious about this place. We are often in this…read moreplaza because we're always shopping for groceries at the H Mart. We finally gave it a shot today. We ordered the steamed pork belly, cold noodles, and the galbi soup. The food was very good. My mom was quite happy with the cold noodles and my kids consumed every drop of the galbi soup. My dad and I had the steamed pork belly and we agreed that it was pretty good. The part I want to really emphasize was the service. The young man that took care of us was very attentive and most importantly, treated my kids so well. He provided them with all their usual needs like plastic silverware, extra bowls for soup, and even offered extra soup when he saw that they devoured the galbi soup. He went out of his way to give them some BTS Edition Oreos and little bags with stickers in them. I am always very grateful anytime people take care to treat my kids well. I'm glad we decided to give this spot a try.

Yuk Dae Jang is a solid spot when you just want a heavy, comforting Korean lunch. We rolled in for…read morea work lunch and even though there was a good crowd inside, we got seated right away with zero wait, which is always a win when you're on a lunch break. If you're going with a few people, the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Ribs with the flat glass noodles is definitely the move. The portion easily feeds two to three. The meat is super tender and just falls off the bone, covered in a rich, spicy sauce that has a nice kick to it. The flat glass noodles soak up all that sauce, and the chunks of kabocha squash add a slight sweetness that balances out the spicy, heavy beef. Service is super fast. You get your banchan pretty much the second you sit down, and the food comes out steaming hot without a long delay. If you're looking for a quick group lunch spot where you can split something huge and spicy, it's definitely worth coming here.

Juicy Pork Dumplings soft, juicy, and bursting with flavor, these soup dumplings were delicious without being too doughy. it's served with 8 pieces which is plenty to share ! Chicken Wontons in Spicy Sauce also served with 8 pieces, each spicy wonton is pretty sizable, juicy, and has a generous portion of meat. i enjoyed the addition of the crunchy peanuts and scallions on top that gave a fun texture balance and flavor break from the sour spicy sauce. Scallion Pancake these were one of the best scallion pancakes i've tried. they were crispy and flaky while still being thin and chewy inside. they weren't so doughy nor burnt and the flavor with some chili oil was so delicious without being too oily. i did try these at another northern cafe location and they weren't quite as good. i just wished it had come with more ! Lamb Skewers (10 pc) & Charcoal Grilled Chicken Hearts (2 pc) we were in need of some protein and these skewers hit the spot. the 2 chicken heart skewers are at the right hand side of the tray and all of the skewers are pretty small, but they were pretty lean and meaty. the meat was very tender and easy to eat and the dry rub spices gave excellent flavor. they matched and perfectly balanced out our other dishes that were a bit more carby.

Tang 190 has been an Irvine staple for years, and after a few visits, I can see why so many locals…read morekeep coming back. This isn't the place for trendy fusion dishes or flashy presentation; it's all about hearty Korean comfort food that feels especially satisfying on a cold day. My go-to Korean dishes are Yukgaejang and Bossam. The spicy beef soup is usually my benchmark for any Korean restaurant. Tang 190's version delivered everything I look for: a rich, deeply flavored broth with a satisfying level of spice and plenty of tender beef throughout. It's the kind of soup that keeps me coming back. This last visit, I finally got to try their pork and kimchi platter. The pork itself was tender and enjoyable, but I wasn't a fan of the cabbage. Instead of being lightly pickled with salt, it had been fermented to the point where it resembled white kimchi. I've actually never seen it made like this before. I definitely prefer the fresher, crisper flavor profile to pair with the pork and radish, so this preparation didn't quite work. Service was efficient, and the meal arrived quickly. On any other day, it's usually a 5 star visit, but the bossam preparation was a huge miss for me. While prices have crept up over the years, Tang 190 still does what it does best: serving comforting, no-frills Korean food that consistently hits the spot.

We came here today with a large group, including children. After being seated, it took us some time…read moreto organize and place our order because there were many people in our party and we ordered several dishes. I have always really liked this restaurant, which is why today's experience was especially disappointing. Unfortunately, what happened today was truly awful. From the beginning, our server appeared visibly impatient. When we repeated a couple of dish names to make sure the order was correct, she began speaking to us in an unnecessarily loud and irritated tone. Her voice was loud enough that another employee noticed the situation and offered to take over the order. Instead of accepting the help professionally, our server responded that the other employee would not be able to understand what she had written in Korean. When the other employee later asked her to repeat our order, she read it back very loudly and with obvious anger. The entire restaurant could hear her, and the experience made our whole family feel embarrassed and extremely uncomfortable, especially since we had children with us. Later, she seemed to realize that her behavior had affected us. She brought us a noodle dish "on the house" and briefly said sorry. While we appreciated the gesture, it did not undo the way we were treated in front of the entire restaurant. My question is: if you knew your behavior required an apology afterward, why treat customers that way in the first place? Customers should not be made to feel like an inconvenience simply because they are dining with a larger group or placing a larger order. We came to enjoy a family meal, not to be spoken to with hostility and publicly embarrassed. Unfortunately, this experience completely overshadowed the food.
