Clean and dark Asian pub like interior. Good service. I recommend this restaurant for Jjahjhang and Jjamppomg (even has half & half available now) in Denver/Aurora. Strongly recommend the fried sweet potato but may be too much for one person, perfect to split for 2 people.
Lunch with my friend. It's been a while since we were together. The server was sweet and attentive. She doesn't like soup but tried some of the jjam bong. She liked it. It's a nice dish after a cold snowy day. She decided on ra jo gi. That suited her. I'm glad to introduce my friends to local Asian businesses. Clean restaurant and restroom.
We have been coming here for years and I just realized we never left a review :( - better late than never! The food and service are always exceptional. We have tried most things on the menu and never left disappointed. Super friendly waitstaff. Highly recommended!
There has been a good influx of Korean restaurants around Denver and a few jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) restaurants. Yong Gung is mainly known for their jjajangmyun and for good reason. The jjajangmyun I ordered is a new menu item that is spicy and contains seafood. It is easily for 2-3 people. I would highly recommend trying it out if you want a little bit of a different twist on jjajangmyun. The tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) was nice and crispy without too much batter. Make sure to ask for the sauce on the side so it doesn't get soggy! The service was great including the owner and waitress. The waitress was very attentive and made sure our waters were always full. The owner came by multiple times to ask if everything is ok and if we need anything else. Thanks! I'll make sure to come by again when I get my craving for jjajangmyun which will probably be soon!
This place was decent. I'm really spoiled when it comes to Korean food because I grew up in an area with 100's of Korean restaurants. But this place was almost as good as stuff in my hometown. We tried jjajjang myun, tangsooyook and ddeokbogi
This place has such good food for a very economical price. Their servings are larger and they don't skimp on the meats/seafood. Service is super friendly and attentive. We went there for Saturday lunch. Nice and clean decor with light music playing so you can have a nice conversation. We ordered the kang pang shrimp, seafood udong, chicken fried rice, beef jap chae. The udon was delicious with big chunks of shrimp. The kang pang shrimp was sooo tasty with just the right amount of sweetness and crispiness. The chicken fried rice came with a side of beans with sauce that I've never tasted before and I've been to many Korean restaurants here and in South Korea itself. It was delicious! My friend thought everything tasted amazing as well!
Spicy seafood noodle soup had great flavor. Portion was enough for two meals since I had a delicious appetizer. Prompt service. Clean, nicely lit, furnished open restaurant. Excellent place to dine and unwind with a drink. Kyle is an excellent do all host, waiter, busboy, chef...owner!
Portion sizes are huge here! The kkan pung shrimp is always a winner but we've actually never ordered anything that wasn't delicious! This is Korean/Chinese and while most of the dishes lean towards the Korean side there is definitely some Chinese flare added in. Service is great, they are always attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean, open space and always have ample seating for any sized group.
I regret visiting this place after reading the reviews here. The Jajangmyeon was bland, and the sauce had absolutely no flavor--it tasted as if it had been rinsed in water. For the Jjamppong, I ordered the Level 4 spiciness, yet it wasn't even as spicy as instant ramen, and once again, the seasoning was completely flavorless. As for the Tangsuyuk, the batter was so strange that I actually thought I had been served fried calamari. It was an entirely different dish altogether. I am Korean. I suppose I came here with my expectations set far too high. I am truly disappointed.All the ingredients were chopped into tiny pieces. I do not recommend this place.
This is a classic place in Aurora for some Korean-Chinese comfort food. It seemed like the go-to menu on the item was the Donkatsu (Pork and Chicken options). The staff are friendly, there is plenty of seating and parking, and the prices are reasonable. In terms of the taste, I think this place gets a 3/5 but considering how BIG their portions are, they definitely get an additional star. I would say that if you are ambitious, you can even save half of your dish for another meal or be super full for 1 meal. Overall, I would recommend this place for a big group of hungry friends!

Plans with a friend brought me out to this neck of the woods in Aurora, and I suggested we use the opportunity to check out Yong Gung. Denver proper does not offer much in the line of non-bbq style Korean food, and I had been hunting for a place that served jajangmyeon. We ordered two dishes to share. I chose the Ga Ja Jang (drier version of jajangmyeon), and she chose the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken, which came with rice cakes and cabbage slaw/salad. As others have noted, the portions were certainly generous. The fried chicken in particular had massive pieces of chicken, and the slaw/salad was at least a heaping two cups of cabbage. (I did not find the chicken to be spicy at all though, so I took to shaking some gochugaru from a condiment caddy on it.) The Ga Ja Jang was nicely done and flavorful; the springy chewy noodles were the star of the dish, and I think with an extra side of those, you could easily stretch out an additional serving. It did feel like a lot of the Ga Ja Jang was onions, however, rather than zucchini or pork. All of that said, it was definitely an enjoyable and reasonably priced meal. I would love to check out the Jjamppong next time. If I lived closer, I would certainly be stopping by for takeout. read more

Had dinner here yesterday and was not disappointed. The server was friendly, sat us quickly and was extremely attentive. I drink lots of water and I never had to ask for more water. We got combo A that comes with black bean noodles, sweet and sour pork and a stew (that I don't remember the name of) the black bean noodles are my favorite here because they add soo much onion. Also ordered spicy rice cakes as a side/ app. I would say this was on the spicier side for someone who doesn't like spicy - I would not recommend. Almost forgot! They revamped their look and had a large projector with music videos. I enjoyed the vibes too ^_^ 5/5 because it is great value and always tasty. I would say the food here is always consistent. read more

Great customer service. Very friendly server. Ordered a jjampong. The soup was yummy and had a thicker textured. Not watery like other places. However, not much seafood ingredients and the shrimp and mussel both had the shell on so it was inconvenient to eat. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants here in Aurora. I feel like this restaurant gets better and better. The spicy brisket jjam bong was spicy and so delicious. It was spicy but not that spicy were you can't taste the flavors. Is a most have! If you have been in Korea you know you need to have the Sam Sun Gan Ja jang and the sweet & sour pork is the perfect combination. The service is excellent! The waitress who got us the table was super nice and always with a smile on her face. The ambiance was very chill barely people at the time I went. Honestly if you are around Aurora don't forget to go around this restaurant. You will not regret it. Pure flavors! Amazing service! read more

I came to this part of Havana on a Friday for lunch. Not much action was happening around the shopping strip and I was looking for any fried chicken. I found Yong Gong after being familiar with a couple KBBQ restaurant in the same area. The restaurant is clean and inviting. As I was seated the only other table that had patrons paid and left. I was the only one there for the majority of my meal and felt like a VIP. Granted, I went for a late lunch/early dinner so it was most likely past the lunch rush. My meal came exactly how I wanted and the portion was big enough to feed a baby dinosaur! My chicken was spiced perfectly with a hint of sweet and garlic. The chewy noodle bits (forgot what they were called!) were also amazing. The danmuji (Korean yellow pickled daikon radish) and onions were awesome too. Food and service was great and I certainly will keep this place on my radar. Price is a bit higher but the portions make up for it. You could easily split each dish up to at least 2 or possibly 3 meals! read more

Besides P&Y Cafe mentioned last time, Yong Gung on South Havana is another Korean Chinese restaurant that has been in business for a while and also a local favorite. Compared to P&Y Cafe's simplicity, the renovated Yong Gung is roomier and has a warmer and more modern feel. The menu is similar with Ja Jang Myeon (noodles in black bean sauce with pork) , Jjam Bong (spicy soup with seafood and pork）and sweet & sour pork as their most popular items, but the chef here added some twists to quite a few staples. Here are their sweet potato Ja Jang Myeon and sweet & sour pork. read more

This place used to be my go to Korean restaurant but I haven't been here in a while and something has changed about the food. The jjajangmyeon is still good along with the salad and crab wontons. So those are items you should order. However, the spicy fried chicken and the sweet sour pork have changed. The spicy fried chicken wasn't crunchy. It was not like the double fried chicken what KFC are known for. It was soft and there was a dash of sesame seeds on our order. The chicken pieces were a lot bigger too compared to when ordered them last year. The sweet sour pork had more veggies on it than pork. It was just okay. I would only come back for black bean noodles. read more
The best fried rice I've tried in the Denver area. Drinks are very reasonably priced - and that's before the happy hour special! Service is fast and friendly too. And where else do you see music videos on a giant screen while you're dining? read more

Large space with plenty of seating. Server was attentive and did her best to accommodate our large group. They even took our request to play a Korean birthday song. Housemade noodles were the cherry on top to the tasty noodle dishes. They really delivered on the heat. The breading on the fried meat dishes was crispy. My only issue was the pork used in the sweet and sour was not the typical cut used but the flavors were still good. A must try for Korean style Chinese food! read more

Had a craving for jjajangmyeon for the longest time, and decided to order it through Uber eats. The prices are a lot steeper on there compared to in store it seems (18.99) but there was a BOGO deal that made it worth it. The sauce was generously portioned and super flavorful. My only wish is that there would've been more side veggies for two portions. read more
Omg this place has my taste buds for tang soo yuk (sweet and spicy fried pork), spicy seafood soup called jjamppong, and black bean noodles called jjajjamyung. Their fired chicken is honestly soooo good - way better than the other Korean friend chickens places in the area. And soooo cheap for the amount of chicken you get! Highly recommend trying this place out. I think I heard they got new ownership, but still looks the same. Anyways, their noodles are way better than when I previously visited. Service is sooo quick and fast. I cannot recommend this place enough for Korean Chinese cuisine cravings. read more

I've been to Yong Gung multiple times, and they delivered every time! Yummy food, fair price, generous portion, quick and friendly service. The only thing I'd say is the restaurant is kinda dimly lit, so you got more of a soju/bbq bar vibe instead of a family restaurant. I'd def come back! read more

My first time here! I was greeted immediately and sat down. The server was very welcoming and answered all of my questions. I ordered Sam Sun Gan Ja Jang. Loved it! The noodles were perfectly cooked and the pork was tender. The sauce was sweet with vegetables in it. It wasn't spicy, but tasty. The restaurant was very bright and clean! It wasn't busy, but after I arrived more people came in including families. Lot's of Korean dishes to choose from. They offer many appetizers and a great selection of Soju! They offered many varieties of Soju and soda. I chose hot green tea. I liked the way the menu was set up and had pictures of each dish. Everything looked good. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and especially families because you can share, nice portion size. I will be back to try other dishes. Everything is cooked to order, so it comes out piping hot! Looking forward to bringing some friends with me! read more
