Yuk Dae Jang Irvine

The fantastic food, the service at YUK DAE JANG is top-notch. The staff members are friendly and eager to ensure that your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional.

Every food is so delicious.

Oh well, food is all about your own preferences. I don’t like sweetness in my food, so a 4-*. You are welcomed to disagree. Having said that Banchan (side dishes) however is the winner. Services are very good, waiters check every table periodically and frequently enough, making sure every needs are taken care of.

Love this Korean noodle chain! Depending on the times you are there, this place (and it's other locations) can get PRETTY PACKED! I had the original yuk gae jang and all noodles generally come with the beef strips and a LOT of onions. Spice levels are tolerable, unless you really can't handle spicy foods. Most noodles come with glass noodles, but I highly recommend the fresh pasta since the noodles are thicker and easier to see. All the noodles are delicious however so I'm always having difficulty picking. Location of this place is near H-Mart, a Korean marketplace, and if this place is too crowded and you're not patient enough to wait, I'd recommend checking out the other food locations nearby! Parking: Lots of available parking spots at the plaza. If you're not familiar with the Irvine area, don't worry about the green colored parking spots, that's normal there. Wheelchair accessibility: Clearly labeled wheelchair accessible parking and easy to get in and out of the plaza.

Wow. This place absolutely touched my heart—my entire being was in tears, moved by the delicious food. 10/10 would recommend. AMAZING.

Love it so much! Noodle(ramyeon?) yukgaejang is the best. Must try :) I prefer this to a fresh noodle. It tastes the same as Yukdaejang in Korea.

Order the dried cod hot pot and the seafood chige hot pot. You can choose between white rice and purple rice. Complimentary Oden, Kimuchi, fresh chives and onions are first placed on the table. The server is very friendly and helpful. The dried cod hot pot has a monotonous and gentle flavor. You may get bored of it in the latter half of the meal. The seafood chige hot pot was spicy and tasty with lots of ingredients such as shrimp, shellfish, and tofu.

Inside the olive garden plaza.

Great cold noodles and Pork Belly. Friendly service and great kimchi. I am always happy to come here. I am also glad they are open where other places are closed. Please try the cold noodles with some vinegar...so amazing.
