Came here for lunch on a weekday. Plenty of tables. Service was quick and very attentive. They offer free hot tea or ice water. I got the Beef tofu soup and it was delicious. I got the very spicy level which wasn't too spicy.Very flavorful and everything comes with the classic banchan. Their salad had a very refreshing sesame sauce on it and they had peppers with anchovies that were delicious. Definitely will come again to try the Bimbimbap and other foods on the menu! read more

Ye Dang Korean Restaurant - Beef Tofu Soup Very Spicy - Korean Near Me - Tustin, California

Bit overpriced, but the service is good. The food tastes good. It's pretty empty the past few times I've been here. It's hard to find and sort of in an awkward plaza. You'd have to go out of your way to come here. There's a small coffee shop next door if you're looking for dessert after read more

Very good Korean restaurant, generous portions for very reasonable prices. We had one of the bossam options (with pork bulgogi). Service was fast and polite. Would come here again when next in the area. read more

They have a wide variety of Korean dishes and we will definitely be back to try more. We got the nakkji bokkeum and added noodles. The flavor was good but I think when we mixed in the noodles with the sauce it cooled off the dish which made it unsatisfying to eat at room temperature. Service is attentive but we came on a slow night so not sure how it is on weekends. Banchan was alright nothing special read more

From the moment I entered, I was warmly greeted by the staff with such kind and timely service. I happened to arrive at an odd hour when the restaurant was quieter, but it was absolutely perfect. I was craving some homemade style Korean food, and this place hit the spot. I agree with those that have already posted that this is a solid alternative to the overcrowded and overpriced places like BCD. The broth and stew here carries such depth of flavor, and the meals are carefully prepared by an experienced chef that knows the fine intricacies of Korean cuisine. It felt like the type of food your Korean grandma would serve you, which made me feel at home. Highly recommend supporting this business! I'll be back :). read more

To start off they are not affiliated with the Yedang Korean Restaurant out in LA Habra. Although their menus look exactly identical the friendly server confirmed that they are not a chain nor are the owners related or own both restaurants. Spacious and have plenty of seats for groups and families. Came on a weekday at 11am and was not busy at all unlike the other Yedang in LA Habra. Ordered three items: 1) spicy braised white cod: had a good balance of sweetness and spiciness, the cod was soft and had no fishy smell, the radish could have been cooked longer; 2) beef soup with short ribs and napa cabbage: the soup broth was flavorful, a good blend of the soybean paste, plenty of napa cabbage and meat; and 3) hot stone pot rice with seasoned thistle: be sure to mix the savory soy sauce into the rice and thistle cuz it brings out the flavor really well. Must leave a portion of the rice to scorch at the bottom of the hot pot too for later! read more

Ye Dang Korean Restaurant - Galbijjim (portion for two) - Korean Near Me - Tustin, California

This place is authentic Korean food with reasonable prices. When we came here, it was relatively busy but they were able to seat us pretty quickly. The waitress was quick to serve and get our orders. Food came out pretty quickly. Bot. naengmyeon (cold noodles) that we ordered was just enough for 2 hungry people with a small side of bossam! read more

I've been here three times now and love that it's more of a mom-and-pop alternative as compared to popular franchises like BCD or Kaju Soft Tofu. Yedang also seems to have a wider variety of food, offering bossam in addition to other soups like chicken ginseng or black goat head soup. (I love the black goat head soup! so flavorful and also feels healthy with the veggies) The workers here have always been so kind to me and service is quick, however it's never been too crowded when I've been there. Their seafood pancake has an interesting array of seafood (crab, mussels/clam, etc) but is chive-heavy so beware if you're not a fan. read more

Ye Dang has plenty of parking out front and lots of seating indoors, so we were able to get a table right away during the dinner rush. Ye Dang is a no-frills, Korean restaurant with minimal decor but free iced barley tea or water. Service was ok since there were only 2 ladies working, but the menu looked great. We narrowed it down to the large Bossam $49.99 (braised pork with napa, green leaf wrap, and soybean paste or kimchi stew), Cold Noodles with Spicy Sauce & Galbi Combo $36.99 (cold buckwheat noodles with spicy sauce and marinated short rib), and the Hot Stone Pot Bibimbap $22.99 (rice topped with minced beef and other seasonal vegetables with egg yolk in hot stone pot). Everything was delicious! Would definitely come by again to try their lunch special pricing. read more

Had dinner with our Korean neighbors this weekend -- they own a bakery and brought us to one of their favorite Korean spots for group meals, a traditional hot pot restaurant they've been going to for years. It's only about 13 minutes away, yet after living in the area for so long I had no idea this place even existed. We walked in and it was packed wall-to-wall with Korean locals -- always a good sign Napa Wrap with Braised Pork A must-try! Thick slices of braised pork belly, super tender, clean flavor, and no porky smell at all. You wrap it with napa cabbage or lettuce along with radish pickle, shrimp paste, and bean paste. One bite and I was sold -- perfect balance of fatty, salty, refreshing, and crunchy. BBQ Beef Short Ribs (Galbi) So tender and thick, cooked perfectly without charring the outside. Love that they don't burn the meat just for appearance -- cleaner, healthier, and super flavorful. Galbi Tang (Beef Short Rib Soup) My husband's go-to dish anywhere we go, and this version did not disappoint. They also have a limited upgraded version that includes brisket and brisket point -- rich, comforting, and deeply savory. Fish Roe Stew I didn't know they served this dish until now! I can't handle too much spice, so we didn't order their signature spicy hot pot this time. This stew had a mild kick but was totally manageable -- definitely coming back to try the famous spicy version. According to our neighbors, their most popular item is the Octopus & Monkfish Hot Pot, which they usually order. They skipped it this time just in case it was too spicy for me... so I guess that means we have to come back Such a hidden gem -- authentic Korean flavors, huge portions, and the kind of place where Korean locals eat regularly. Already planning our next visit! read more

Good food, nice service, quiet place. Had a good lunch. First time with reasonable price. Caffe in Coffee next door also help after lunch

It was dinner time when I needed to charge my car at one of the cheaper charging stations in Tustin. It was kind of in the middle of a quiet office area. We looked around the area and found this restaurant. The food was good, and even tho they seemed short of staff, they gave star service. The menu was extensive and offered authentic Korean food. I'm glad with the choice we made to eat there. read more

I was driving in Walnut Ave and inexplicably saw this restaurant among office buildings and sprawling warehouses...there is another restaurants but the entire building feels out of place. That said, there's plenty of parking and my hunger literally guided me to the front door. The restaurant itself is spacious and can accommodate a large group. I was there during the tail end of lunch and missed the "lunch special " by a few mins. They serve traditional (very good) Korean food! There is nothing not of Korean cuisine on the menu. I say this because a random person walked in wanting "pot stickers", LOl! Of course left in a huff! lol! I ordered the " So Bulgogi Dolsot Bibbab". It was sizzling hot when it got to my table. So hot was the bowl that some of my rice got a little crunchy which I love. The bowl overall was delicious, exactly what I wanted/expected and served with a generous selection of banchan (from the non-spicy broccoli to spicy kimchi) The service was a little slow but friendly and genial. Overall, I enjoyed my very late lunch and wouldn't hesitate to come back when I'm in the area. read more

Great Korean taste in Tustin. Food was great. Perfect for anyone! The tofu soup was very nice. Fish was yummy. The ribs are super good. The servers were speaking great English. I didn't expect it from a place with such good Korean food. It was great overall. The aircon restaurant was a bit old or not sure why it's super hot despite having it turned on. I sweated through the meal. Otherwise, everything else was amazing! read more

Not the best Korean food I've had but dishes were solid and nothing was bad. We came here on a weekend lunch, place had a decent amount of people when we came. This is located in the same plaza as Cafe en Coffee and India Gate, which are both very solid restaurants. For food we go the Mul-naengmyeon and Kalbi Combo ($30) and Bossam (S-$28) with Tofu soup, we also got soju ($9.99). Service was a bit slow and took a while for the servers to get the menu to us. Soju was easy to drink and went well with the tasty korean food. Mul-naengmyeon-not the best i've had a little too acidic for me but noodle texture was good and portion was huge. Kalbi-tender, also not the best i've had but it came on a sizzling plate with onions Tofu soup-a little bland and too acidic Bossam-tender and came with a generous portion, not overly salty the best dish we got Each table gets 6 banchans, also nothing special but all were solid. Overall food came pretty quickly and all the dishes were filling. Would love to try the bibimbap my next visit. read more

Traditional Korean Food served with the biggest smiles. Our go to dishes are: Galbi Tang Seafood Pancake Soon Tofu they are hearty and filling. The seafood pancake stands out because it is heavy on green onions. After a meal from Ye Dang, we're always feeling full to the brim of our souls. read more

Ye Dang Korean Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Tustin, California

I've been coming to Ye Dang for years and in my opinion, the dining experience is becoming more and more disappointing. At one point years and years ago, they actually offered complimentary soft service ice cream and coffee as options to close out your meal. You'll find the servers are Korean as well as a good number of the patrons. Seating is indoors only and there is usually ample parking available in the center's parking lot. Service is consistently subpar. The restaurant's menu is comprehensive serving up appetizers, bbq meat, grilled fish, stews & soups, bibimbap, soon tofu, noodle dishes, casseroles, etc. Inflation has affected us all, but you will notice that here as reflected in their menu item prices. We've tried many different dishes over the years and they've been for the most part solid. We decided to be adventurous one evening and try a casserole which we've seen many groups of Korean customers order in the past. Ye Dang offers 7 different variations, but we elected to try the Beoseot Jeongol which is described on the menu as "A spicy soup assorted mushroom and tofu vegetables in a hot pot...Option: with beef, without beef". The server never offered us a meat option and said it wasn't available when we asked. She was also far from attentive during our entire dining experience. $45.99 + tax + tip is a lot to pay for a big bowl of mushroom, tofu and vegetable soup! After this most recent experience, I'm going to think twice about coming back. read more

Very disppointed with Bossam small size. They charge $29 for a small Bossam - and this is what I get. This is NOT $29 worth of food. If you are making this for 1 person, it should be way cheaper, like maybe $17. This place used to be good, not anymore and not ordering from here ever again. What a joke. read more

This Korean restaurant is pretty average. The bibimbap was ok but was a little light on the vegetables and the meat. The banchan was as expected and the kimchi was good. The restaurant is close to a huge bank of Tesla chargers nearby so it's a good place to eat if you want to change your car. That is why we ended up there. The service was prompt although we were there when it was not busy. read more

On a chilly, rainy day, I like to order soup. Hubby read a listing for this place on a neighborhood site that he follows. He likes Bibimbap, and there were 8 choices listed on the menu. He picked the Nakji Dolsot Bibimbap (octopus in stone pot) and enjoyed it. I ordered my typical Galbi Tang. The broth was very flavorful. I liked how the beef ribs were cut into 5 pieces for easier eating. There must be a fine line between falling-off-the-bone tender and cooked to tastelessness. I thought the meat needed more flavor. I requested no green onions. There was a boiled egg and glass noodles. I would rate this dish a 3. There are a good selection of stews and soups. Soon Tofu (seafood and beef) would have been my alternate choice. read more

The wait was long, at least the food was hot. Definitely on the pricier side of things. The banchan (4 side dishes) was rather limited for the price of the food. We came in at 12:30 on a Sunday, it wasn't very crowded with only another table of 6 people. By the time we were done and leaving, the place was a little over 25% full with 4 other tables of people? The place looked relatively clean. Would I be opposed to coming again? I wouldn't be opposed, I probably wouldn't suggest it first though. read more

Disappointing. I used to frequent this place prior to covid ALL the time. I was definitely a frequent flyer. Post covid, the quality of food at this establishment has really gone down hill. The side dishes are clearly not fresh, old, and bland. The meat isn't of the same quality. The food just doesn't taste as well. This place was always a jack of all trades type of korean restaurant and a master of none. However, all their food was respectably good and above par. Now I feel that the majority of their dishes are below par and struggle to maintain taste and consistency. I would no long recommend. There's much more Korean restaurant competition now locally that this falls from my go to list. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for authentic BoSsam (Porkbelly Cabbage Wraps) and hot pot stew cooked on your tabletop on a portable gas burner for freshly boiling stew Korean style. For the past ten years I've been impressed by the consistency and authenticity with excellent service. Now the service is still good but the side dishes are below average and food quality had suffered some set back. It's not too hard to boil the thick pork belly and serve on steamed cabbage but the amount of fat on the pork belly showed poor quality of meat. The waitress wanted to charge more for few more cabbage leaves. The rice was too dry and the seafood soft tofu was reasonably good. Overall for two dishes I paid $85 including the tip. Their prices are little more than what is worth. The place was not crowded during the lunch hour. read more

This review is specifically for their Galbi Jjim. Was looking for some good galbi jjim in the area and this place satisfied our cravings! Not every place does galbi jjim right. Ye Dang definitely did it right. It was very delicious. The sauce was so flavorful and the dish had the perfect balance of meats, potatoes, carrots, melons, and rice cakes. Their side dishes (banchan) were surprisingly very good as well. Service was great, and they were very attentive with refilling the side dishes. read more

Weather has been so hot, feeling cold Noodle. We decided to try here, the restaurant seems to have many Korean people dining in so it must be authentic. The menu seems to be very pricey, cold Noodle + galbi is $30, a bulgogi bibimbap is $27. I only like the kimchi, the rest of Banchan tastes just flavorless. The kimchi cold Noodle is flavorful but without any meat. The side of galbi was small but tasty! However, the bulgogi bibimbap has very minimum flavor as well ..... Overall, not sure why these are so pricey. Probably won't be back again. read more

I honestly used to like it here before COVID. The banchan was so tasty and plentiful. Their seafood pancake was amazing as well as their huge kimchi with pork that came out on a cast iron plate. However, most recently, my experiences here have not been that great. The service is subpar. They don't greet you, they don't check to see if your water or side dishes need to be refilled, they don't seem to care about your dining experience at all, and the prices have gone even higher (which is fine if the food and service improved, but no). They didn't give us that many side dishes. We had to ask them to refill our side dishes. We didn't have to ask for the check; that actually came early. I ordered the kalguksoo, and I regretted it. It tasted like too much msg was in it. I won't be coming back for a long time. Food - 7/10 Ambiance - 7/10 Service - 5/10 read more
