"Standouts on the extensive menu at Yaedam include marinated LA style beef short ribs. Not only do you receive a generous serving of crispy edged, caramelized, deeply flavored short ribs (no flaccid ribs allowed here) with the lunch combo, you also get your choice of kimchi soup, soft tofu stew, soybean paste stew, or cold noodle as an accompaniment. From the meat section of the menu, try the thinly sliced brisket. Served on a bed of raw onion, the brisket is tender and tasty. Enjoy it unadorned, or dipped into the sesame oil and salt condiment to enhance the flavor. Yaedam receives high marks for its banchan takeout game. The juicier banchan are packed into small containers, nestled next to their less juicy banchan neighbors, so that flavors don’t mingle until you are ready for them to. For those that don’t prefer takeout, Yaedam has an outdoor patio dining area with several tables." - Rebecca Shea
