Bibim nengmyun. Enough said. This is the OG restaurant chain from ktown that has the BEST nengmyun period.

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. read more

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. read more

Yuchun - Delicious bulgogi set and hot stone bibimbap with squid - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

Came here because we were craving some cold noodles--it was super hot out, and this place looked promising. The cold noodles were actually pretty good! I do wish the soup had a bit of ice in it to make it extra refreshing, but still hit the spot. We also got the kalbi, which had nice flavor. It was a tiny bit undercooked, but still totally fine to eat and tasty overall. read more

The Kimchi Pork Bibimbap ($21.99) and LA Short Ribs ($31.99) were good! The bibimbap actually comes out on a sizzling hot stone. The short ribs had great flavor. My only gripe is the price. For a food court, I expected the prices to reflect that and not of a standalone restaurant. I haven't tried it, but I saw a lot of people order the cold noodles on the day I went, and it looked pretty good. It is something I plan to try in the future. read more

This just hits the spot especially on a hot summer day! Refreshing, cold. The noodles are perfectly chewy. And by far, the best broth you can find in the area. They also offer combos with kalbi, pork belly, etc. on the side. It is a bit pricey. Expect to spend about $20-35 depending on if you opt for a combo. Located in a food court adjacent to H Mart, it's easy to find! read more

Yuchun - Nengmyun. Perfection - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

I came back late Saturday evening to give this place another chance after waiting over 40 minutes for my cold noodles to come out. Safe to say, I am very glad I did. This time around, I ordered the kimchi bibimguksu and pork belly combo. The pork belly was so crispy and savory on the sizzling stone plate. But the cold noodles were definitely the star of the show. I loved how chewy the noodles were and the broth/sauce had just the right amount of tanginess to it. My friend ordered the bibimbap on a sizzling bowl, but she thought it was a little bland and needed more gochujang. We also appreciated the hot bone broth that the cashier offered to us! read more

Mul Naeng Myun on point as expected. I got the naeng myun + galbi combo to go and it was close to ~$36. It came with only 2 pieces of "LA style Galbj" Not sure if that's the standard or an error but $18 for 2 pieces seems like it should be Wagyu at least. But it wasn't. read more

Yuchun's naenmyun is the perfect dish for the summer heat! The portion is huge, though I manage to eat it all because I have a big appetite. The spicy cold noodles aren't really spicy (and I am a spice wimp). I've ordered both the one with fish and the one with beef and would recommend the beef over the fish, which was kind of boney. Also tried their kimchi dumplings, which are HUGE! You have to be careful eating these - one bite and they kind of fall apart. Yuchun is in the food court at HMart and has become quite popular since opening a few months ago. You may have to wait a bit longer than the other food stalls, but it's worth it! read more

Yuchun is a great Korean cold noodle restaurant that is family owned and operated. They are nestled inside of the Hmart and the polite staff was quick to deliver our food. They have the best cold noodles in town and have generous portion sizes. We got the kimchi spicy cold noodles and pork belly combo which was plenty for two. The noodles were perfectly spiced and bursting with flavor, complemented by the side of pickled radish, adding a wonderful sweetness to the spicy, umami dish. While the pork belly was cooked well and had plenty of garlic, the only downside was there was not that much meat. Each bite had a crispy exterior and melted in your mouth but we found ourselves wanting another order. Yuchun is a top place if you are craving cold noodles. Don't hesitate to check this establishment out! read more

I came back to give this location another try after the manager reached out to me. 10/10 for customer service. LA short rib - came out nice and warm this time.

Wow! I mean wow, if you enjoy cold noodles with a clear but tasty broth this is the place. My husband was raving about it but i had very low expectations because other cold noddles i've had were all okay. I took one sip of this broth and my mouth dropped to the ground. This cold noodle is literally the best thing ever. It's so nutty and tangy and fresh at the same time. The spicy is not spicy at all just tasted like kimchi! It's inside the h-mart at their food court. read more

Came back for the cold spicy noodles after having it 3 days ago, but since it was just me, I didn't get the combo. After opening up the bag at home, I was slightly disappointed that the noodle bowl was 3/4 the size of the combo noodle bowl with only half the "broth", pickled radish, and spicy mustard. Today's noodles came with kimchi radish strips though, which combined with less liquid made the overall dish spicier and even more delicious!! read more
