    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 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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

It was rich and just lightly spicy. Definitely need to come with at least 4 people to be able to try everything! We came as a family of 4 and it was the perfect amount of food. There was only one server but he was great and would constantly come and tell us if the stew was ready or to refill banchans.

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.

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.

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.
