Yuchun is found inside the Hmart food court
Laura H.

Solid beef short ribs from Yuchun at the Hmart food court. The flavor reminded me of a more savory version of short ribs ordered at AYCE KBBQs, but it's slightly sweet and almost smoky. These ribs were very meaty, which I appreciated, but the hefty price tag is preventing me from getting them more often. However, it's definitely convenient; I don't have to purchase my own meat, then season and marinate it for a while, and then know how to properly cook it with the right equipment. Props to the cooks and chefs at this Hmart food court. Plenty of seating is available in the middle of the food court. If you have a shopping cart with you, you can park it in the designated area near the bathrooms. The gentleman taking orders at the front was straightforward but was overall helpful.

Delicious bulgogi set and hot stone bibimbap with squid
Christine N.

Their bulgogi set came with my new side dishes to try with rice. The hot stone bibimbap was delicious, too. Service was fast and friendly. I'd like to try their take on Galbitang on the next visit.

Seafood pancake

Solid cold noodle spot and typical Korean food. It's pricey but the portions are large. Seafood pancake was the thickest I've ever had. It was crisped up with potato? And served like cake slices. Really good though but warning it is a choking hazard with how crispy it is lol. Side dishes were good except the kimchi was so flavorless. My friend said that was unusual so maybe it was an off day. What I love is that they give this carafe of hot broth to sip on. It is so good and comforting. My friend and I did have stomach troubles about 30 mins after. We all had spicy cold noodles and the pancake. I think it may be something with the cold noodle that day? However willing to give it another try as the food is great.

Yuchun Counter

Yuchun can be found inside the food court at H Mart Irvine WestPark. There are a good number of Korean food options within the food hall, but we decided on Yuchun and it was the right choice. I went with the Yuchun Signature Set which included a variety of banchan, rice, soup and bulgogi for $25.99. I paid an upcharge to substitute kalbi as my choice of protein and it did not disappoint. Simply order at the kiosk and they'll call your number when your order is ready, but be forewarned that the tray can be on the heavier side when you pickup. The Signature Set is not the most affordable menu option, but it provides a balanced meal of Korean dishes and the portion size is hearty enough for leftovers. I'll def be back!

It's been so hot lately that I've been craving cold dishes like their spicy cold noodles. I came here originally to shop for ingredients at HMart, but then changed my mind and decided to grab some food at the eatery instead. I shared the spicy cold noodle combo, which came with a side of galbi and broth. After ordering, you'll grab a table, and an overall PA system calls out your number when your order is ready. The noodles were super refreshing, and came with cucumbers, meat, eggs, and radish. It wasn't too spicy, and had a vinegary taste to it. The meal was perfect for two people to share. I also liked that they offer to cut up the noodles to make it easier to eat since the noodles are the chewier kind. The dining area is pretty large, so even when it's busy, you'll still likely find a seat.

Super solid cold noodle spot inside a food court. The bowl was big and really hit the spot. Mul Naengmyeon: Get This was so refreshing and flavorful. Broth was ice cold, the noodles had a nice chew, and the whole thing just felt super satisfying. Great combo of savory and tangy flavors. Perfect on a hot day or if you just want something light but still filling. Nothing fancy here, just good food. It's in a food court so don't expect much on service or atmosphere, but for what it is, it's great. Food: 9/10 Value: 8/10

Spicy Cold Noodle
Mint T.

exceptionally hot day today, was craving some spicy naengmyeon. was so happy to find a spot that had some in the hmart food court. $19 for a fairly large portion, but it was really really good. its a must try, especially in this weather. it comes with a small serving of hot beef soup in those tea cups. pretty interesting way of serving it but the soup was good so it's no issue.

Vivian L.

The flavor was so good and the services was amazing considering how busy there were. This place is located inside of the hmart food hall which makes it convenient to grab after grocery shopping

Omelet Rice
Glenn M.

Great little spot inside HMart! I had the Omelet fried rice and it was delicious! The banchan that came with was incredible as well, and they make their own banchan!

Menu
Joyce Y.

The food here always slaps (and I come often- take my word for it). The cold broth noodles never disappoints and I could drink their bone broth until I blew up from the saltiness. Located in the food mart side of H-Mart, this place is a gem. It's quick, it's easy, and the service is pleasant. The ambiance can be crazy after church on a Sunday, but it's relatively easy to grab a table and enjoy good food after grocery shopping

Yuchun Lunch Togo Box - Bulgogi, beef radish soup, rice and assorted banchan
Yvonne V.

Great option inside HMart food court in Irvine. Ordered the Yuchun Togo Lunch for $28. Portions were large enough for 2 people. Favorite was the beef radish soup. Service was nice and fairly quick for a busy Sunday. Would like to try their other dishes.

Spicy Cold Noodle /
Fortuna N.

I got their cold spicy noodles (4/5) and it was very flavorful! I do wish they gave more meat vs. the price paid for it ($15.99) and ~ $18 with tax. One thing to note is if you get their cold spicy noodles it comes with less of the cold broth compared to their regular cold noodles. Their buckwheat noodles were springy and flavored so well with sesame oil, tangy vinegar, along with their sweet and spicy sauce. It came with slices of fresh cucumbers and radishes that made the dish refreshing. It had two pieces of sliced beef on top and an egg for protein. The noodles absorb the sauce very fast in the spicy one so you will end of up dry noodles if you have leftovers but still tasty!

Sarah K.

Yuchun in K-town LA is my all-time favorite restaurant, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a location in Irvine. When I arrived, I couldn't spot it right away and realized it was inside HMart. I was initially a bit skeptical since food court options are often hit-or-miss, but I decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, the cold noodles and dumplings were really good and tasted just like the ones from the K-town LA location. However, I did notice some differences in portion sizes, even though the prices were the same (or higher). In K-town, I usually can't finish more than half the noodles because the portions are so generous, but at the Irvine location, I finished the whole bowl without feeling overly full. The dumplings tasted great, but the filling wasn't as packed--there were noticeable gaps, making them feel a bit empty. If this location could improve its portion sizes, it would easily be a 5-star spot. And they really need to offer the free broth, just like the K-town LA Yuchun! Despite my comments on the quantity and broth, I'd still come back here if I couldn't make it to the K-town LA location.

Delicious Chinese food and great for family style! Near full house each time I visit but no worries…read more- got seated quick. Casual restaurant with a selection of cold dishes displayed up front. Lemon water in pitcher is provided once you get seated. Order via QR code. A standout dish was the pork pancake, which was layered almost like a savory crepe. The exterior was crispy and slightly oily. Plenty of flavor packed into each bite mmm I also ordered the spicy sauerkraut lamb hot pot. It comes with flames & reminded me a bit of Boiling Point. Lots of napa cabbage in the broth. The lamb was excellently fatty... tender and soft! I've recently had another hot pot place with lean lamb so this was on point. Portions were generous and the price felt very reasonable. My favorite dish of the meal was the fatty beef with scallions. The beef was indeed fatty and rich flavor, with what I think was a nice subtle Shaoxing wine or cooking wine flavor. The natural sweetness of the onions balanced the savory, salty sauce nicely.

This is located in Irvine in the same plaza as H Mart…read more Plenty of parking spaces and open late. They have a QR Code to order online and they will bring the food at your table. We ordered beef noodle soup, shrimp wonton soup & chicken noodle soup. All soup are different, but flavorful. My favorite is the shrimp noodle soup.

Massive parking lot so that was easy, one friend went ahead and let them know we had 10 incoming. They made room and we sat immediately. One of the spots that you scan a menu at the table and you review, order and pay all in the app. I was really not familiar with the line up and went with the "House Special Beef Pot Roodle" (Roodles are their rice noodles). It was a weekend only item and I tried that. The noodles came separate from the soup. Over all it was very tasty. The meat was a bit fatty and the soup had tendons too. I took that part home and my wife loved it. I tend to avoid the fatty meat and tendons are not good to me. 10 of us so some of the appetizers got passed around. The smashed cucumbers are excellent, and my buddy also got some friend potatoes of sorts, reminded me of a fat French fry. Because my buddy and I sat at the same table we scanned the same menu, he ordered a bunch of stuff and also House Special Beef Pot Roodle. That confused the kitchen and they asked me if I meant to order 2, I said no and didn't realize I cancelled my buddy's order. Part of the confusion of a large party and many scanned menu orders. My buddy was struggling to order and our initial waiter seemed to not understand my friend and that took a little bit to work out, young lady came from the back and was able to quickly resolve some of the confusion and get questions answered as needed. In the end he had lot of food to explore. One thing that caught my eye was several couples there and sharing a large soup item served with a tray of various food items for the soup. Kind of a date night visual and something that looked very interesting. Several couples around us had that same dish and its got me more curious. Might have to come back with my wife and try this one.

I ordered their most popular dish, the A1 set, but honestly, it didn't really live up to the hype for me. The broth tasted pretty underseasoned overall. From what I understood, you're supposed to mix all the toppings into the soup with the noodles, but even after doing that, I still felt like the flavor was lacking. Yes, they provide seasoning on the side, but personally, I wish the broth already had enough flavor on its own without needing to adjust it myself. Would I come back? Probably not. Nothing really stood out to me enough to return, and it felt more like a one-time experience. Overall, everything was just okay.

For the price and reputation, I expected better attention to detail. I'd recommend double-checking your food before eating if you order shrimp here. Hoping they improve their prep standards because this shouldn't happen.

The rice noodles seemed a little overdone, but we enjoyed the pork, broth, and herbs. We were quite full afterwards. The inside of the restaurant was warm and lacked air conditioning, so we sat outside. We grabbed some of the last shaded seats. There was a nice breeze, so it was a pleasant dining experience. Because the drink I originally ordered ran out, the staff person kindly gave me an extra Hokkaido Milk Tea for my mom. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too sweet.

Do not order anything else because everything is terrible. Some of the worst money I've ever spent.
