Yong gung

Yong gung is one of my favorite Korean spots in the Aurora/Denver area. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with plenty of space, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. I’ve been here multiple times and the service is always excellent—friendly and attentive. They have a wide selection of dishes, and as you can see from my photos, I’ve tried quite a few and they’ve all been delicious. They also offer alcoholic beverages, which pairs perfectly with the food. Definitely a go-to spot for good Korean in Aurora!

We drove from Fort Collins to Aurora to try this Korean food for my birthday! It was SO GOOD. The service was so friendly, our server was so helpful, and we especially loved the lady (I think maybe the owner?) who came and spoke to us and brought us aprons for our soup, and gave us Kimchi and dessert on the house. She was so sweet we wanted to hug her. (But we didn't) The only Korean food I've had before is BiBimBop and kimchi, so it was wonderful to try jjam bong and ja jang myeon. They were both delicious. And the pork katsu was lovely too! Thank you so much to the staff for such a nice first visit!

I travel quite a bit for work and enjoy trying out jjajangmyeon wherever I stay. I got the jjajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, and some kimchi. All were fantastic! The jjajangmyeon wasn’t overly oily or heavy, and the tangsuyuk had a light fry.

Authentic korean food in this restaurant, the food taste good & yummy, the service of the waitress is nice and helpful. The inside is really nice with big wide screen LCD and full music but still you can talk each other.

My husband and I went here 2 weekends in a row because it’s THAT GOOD!!! We’ve been looking for a good place that served jjam bong since we moved from San Diego and this is it! I only have 2 photos because we immediately dug into our food. Even so, the photos were taken after we had taken several bites. Servers were quick, kind, and attentive. Everything on the menu is a hit. We ordered cream cheese rangoons, cucumber salad, the dynamite soup, kkan pung gi, fried rice, and jjam bong fried rice. My husband loved the radish and onion side dish so much that he asked for extra and our server kindly offered for some to-go as well as some kimchi. We love this place so much and highly recommend!!

I absolutely love the Kanpunggi here! It’s crispy, slightly sweet, and so memorable—it keeps me coming back. The owner is also incredibly kind and welcoming.

The food here is 10 put of 10. It is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is great, but it's really the dishes that make it unforgettable. You must try their black bean noodles, spicy jjamppong, and especially the Yang Jang Pi — it's a standout!

Everything was absolutely wonderful. Service was excellent and everyone was so kind. Food was incredible for the value. Big portions and tastes so good. Will definitely have to go again.

There has been a good influx of Korean restaurants around Denver and a few jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) restaurants. Yong Gung is mainly known for their jjajangmyun and for good reason. The jjajangmyun I ordered is a new menu item that is spicy and contains seafood. It is easily for 2-3 people. I would highly recommend trying it out if you want a little bit of a different twist on jjajangmyun. The tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) was nice and crispy without too much batter. Make sure to ask for the sauce on the side so it doesn't get soggy! The service was great including the owner and waitress. The waitress was very attentive and made sure our waters were always full. The owner came by multiple times to ask if everything is ok and if we need anything else. Thanks! I'll make sure to come by again when I get my craving for jjajangmyun which will probably be soon!

This place was decent. I'm really spoiled when it comes to Korean food because I grew up in an area with 100's of Korean restaurants. But this place was almost as good as stuff in my hometown. We tried jjajjang myun, tangsooyook and ddeokbogi

This place has such good food for a very economical price. Their servings are larger and they don't skimp on the meats/seafood. Service is super friendly and attentive. We went there for Saturday lunch. Nice and clean decor with light music playing so you can have a nice conversation. We ordered the kang pang shrimp, seafood udong, chicken fried rice, beef jap chae. The udon was delicious with big chunks of shrimp. The kang pang shrimp was sooo tasty with just the right amount of sweetness and crispiness. The chicken fried rice came with a side of beans with sauce that I've never tasted before and I've been to many Korean restaurants here and in South Korea itself. It was delicious! My friend thought everything tasted amazing as well!

Spicy seafood noodle soup had great flavor. Portion was enough for two meals since I had a delicious appetizer. Prompt service. Clean, nicely lit, furnished open restaurant. Excellent place to dine and unwind with a drink. Kyle is an excellent do all host, waiter, busboy, chef...owner!

Portion sizes are huge here! The kkan pung shrimp is always a winner but we've actually never ordered anything that wasn't delicious! This is Korean/Chinese and while most of the dishes lean towards the Korean side there is definitely some Chinese flare added in. Service is great, they are always attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean, open space and always have ample seating for any sized group.

This place is so good these days. Seafood jjambong and pork cutlet were the best. It was better than paiksnoodle!

I have ate there twice, once before going to Korea and just today after returning. The tastes of this restaurant is fabulous. Great meals for economical price is right. Dine or take out both have the same great tastes. Service is a added bonus to it's experience. Clean and friendly. Recommend to anyone, give it a try and see what you think. G.B.

Pretty good service and food. Recommend the Jjamppomg fried rice and fried sweet potato jjahjhang. The fried sweet potato can be pretty filling so recommend sharing with someone else. Chill casual atmosphere.

Omg this place has my taste buds for tang soo yuk (sweet and spicy fried pork), spicy seafood soup called jjamppong, and black bean noodles called jjajjamyung. Their fired chicken is honestly soooo good - way better than the other Korean friend chickens places in the area. And soooo cheap for the amount of chicken you get! Highly recommend trying this place out. I think I heard they got new ownership, but still looks the same. Anyways, their noodles are way better than when I previously visited. Service is sooo quick and fast. I cannot recommend this place enough for Korean Chinese cuisine cravings.

Great customer service. Very friendly server. Ordered a jjampong. The soup was yummy and had a thicker textured. Not watery like other places. However, not much seafood ingredients and the shrimp and mussel both had the shell on so it was inconvenient to eat.

I always come here to get food or drinks & they've always been professional & nice people! Love the food! They play kpop as well which is fun. It's always clean inside. The vibes are nice here. I love their food very much.

This is a classic place in Aurora for some Korean-Chinese comfort food. It seemed like the go-to menu on the item was the Donkatsu (Pork and Chicken options). The staff are friendly, there is plenty of seating and parking, and the prices are reasonable. In terms of the taste, I think this place gets a 3/5 but considering how BIG their portions are, they definitely get an additional star. I would say that if you are ambitious, you can even save half of your dish for another meal or be super full for 1 meal. Overall, I would recommend this place for a big group of hungry friends!

They have the best sweet and sour crispy pork in CO. Portions are really generous for all the dishes we got. Service was quick and attentive. We will be back!

Had dinner here yesterday and was not disappointed. The server was friendly, sat us quickly and was extremely attentive. I drink lots of water and I never had to ask for more water. We got combo A that comes with black bean noodles, sweet and sour pork and a stew (that I don't remember the name of) the black bean noodles are my favorite here because they add soo much onion. Also ordered spicy rice cakes as a side/ app. I would say this was on the spicier side for someone who doesn't like spicy - I would not recommend. Almost forgot! They revamped their look and had a large projector with music videos. I enjoyed the vibes too ^_^ 5/5 because it is great value and always tasty. I would say the food here is always consistent.

짬뽕 was good...decent flavor. Would have liked to try 간짜장면 but wasn't with anyone to order it. 새우깡 봉 was awesome and the 떡볶이 was alright. Surprised they had zero 반찬 not even 김치.

This is one of my favorite restaurants here in Aurora. I feel like this restaurant gets better and better. The spicy brisket jjam bong was spicy and so delicious. It was spicy but not that spicy were you can't taste the flavors. Is a most have! If you have been in Korea you know you need to have the Sam Sun Gan Ja jang and the sweet & sour pork is the perfect combination. The service is excellent! The waitress who got us the table was super nice and always with a smile on her face. The ambiance was very chill barely people at the time I went. Honestly if you are around Aurora don't forget to go around this restaurant. You will not regret it. Pure flavors! Amazing service!

Besides P&Y Cafe mentioned last time, Yong Gung on South Havana is another Korean Chinese restaurant that has been in business for a while and also a local favorite. Compared to P&Y Cafe's simplicity, the renovated Yong Gung is roomier and has a warmer and more modern feel. The menu is similar with Ja Jang Myeon (noodles in black bean sauce with pork) , Jjam Bong (spicy soup with seafood and pork）and sweet & sour pork as their most popular items, but the chef here added some twists to quite a few staples. Here are their sweet potato Ja Jang Myeon and sweet & sour pork.

I came to this part of Havana on a Friday for lunch. Not much action was happening around the shopping strip and I was looking for any fried chicken. I found Yong Gong after being familiar with a couple KBBQ restaurant in the same area. The restaurant is clean and inviting. As I was seated the only other table that had patrons paid and left. I was the only one there for the majority of my meal and felt like a VIP. Granted, I went for a late lunch/early dinner so it was most likely past the lunch rush. My meal came exactly how I wanted and the portion was big enough to feed a baby dinosaur! My chicken was spiced perfectly with a hint of sweet and garlic. The chewy noodle bits (forgot what they were called!) were also amazing. The danmuji (Korean yellow pickled daikon radish) and onions were awesome too. Food and service was great and I certainly will keep this place on my radar. Price is a bit higher but the portions make up for it. You could easily split each dish up to at least 2 or possibly 3 meals!

If you're looking for a spicy meal, you may want to try a different restaurant. However, if you enjoy sweet and savory flavors, you'll love the food at Yong Gung. My favorite dish at Yong Gung is the fried chicken. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Overall, Yong Gung is a great place to go for a delicious and affordable meal. The service is attentive, the food is flavorful, and the drinks are cold. I highly recommend checking it out.

The best fried rice I've tried in the Denver area. Drinks are very reasonably priced - and that's before the happy hour special! Service is fast and friendly too. And where else do you see music videos on a giant screen while you're dining?

Large space with plenty of seating. Server was attentive and did her best to accommodate our large group. They even took our request to play a Korean birthday song. Housemade noodles were the cherry on top to the tasty noodle dishes. They really delivered on the heat. The breading on the fried meat dishes was crispy. My only issue was the pork used in the sweet and sour was not the typical cut used but the flavors were still good. A must try for Korean style Chinese food!

This place used to be my go to Korean restaurant but I haven't been here in a while and something has changed about the food. The jjajangmyeon is still good along with the salad and crab wontons. So those are items you should order. However, the spicy fried chicken and the sweet sour pork have changed. The spicy fried chicken wasn't crunchy. It was not like the double fried chicken what KFC are known for. It was soft and there was a dash of sesame seeds on our order. The chicken pieces were a lot bigger too compared to when ordered them last year. The sweet sour pork had more veggies on it than pork. It was just okay. I would only come back for black bean noodles.

Haven't been in a minute so we came to have lunch. He went for his normal of jjangmyeon and I had jjambong. They were nice and took out the squid for me. The decor photos have changed and it makes the place more classy. Servers are nice. We had a nice meal and came away satisfied. Parking right up front and restroom clean.

Had a craving for jjajangmyeon for the longest time, and decided to order it through Uber eats. The prices are a lot steeper on there compared to in store it seems (18.99) but there was a BOGO deal that made it worth it. The sauce was generously portioned and super flavorful. My only wish is that there would've been more side veggies for two portions.

My first time here! I was greeted immediately and sat down. The server was very welcoming and answered all of my questions. I ordered Sam Sun Gan Ja Jang. Loved it! The noodles were perfectly cooked and the pork was tender. The sauce was sweet with vegetables in it. It wasn't spicy, but tasty. The restaurant was very bright and clean! It wasn't busy, but after I arrived more people came in including families. Lot's of Korean dishes to choose from. They offer many appetizers and a great selection of Soju! They offered many varieties of Soju and soda. I chose hot green tea. I liked the way the menu was set up and had pictures of each dish. Everything looked good. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and especially families because you can share, nice portion size. I will be back to try other dishes. Everything is cooked to order, so it comes out piping hot! Looking forward to bringing some friends with me!

I've been to Yong Gung multiple times, and they delivered every time! Yummy food, fair price, generous portion, quick and friendly service. The only thing I'd say is the restaurant is kinda dimly lit, so you got more of a soju/bbq bar vibe instead of a family restaurant. I'd def come back!

100!!!! Definitely recommend. The food the service is amazing! We love the jjambbong and jjajangmyun! Definitely a go-to! Other menu items are also phenomenal!

I've been going to this place for Korean/Chinese food since I was a kid! It has always been reliable and I've liked the food. While it isn't the best Korean-Chinese food I've had ever, it's still pretty good. My friends and I enjoyed it and talked about how we would definitely come back. For three people, we got one of the combos and had a few leftovers. Worth the price and the service was nice. I asked for extra sweet and sour sauce on the side to dip our pork in and the lady was super kind and kept checking in on us. There's nothing special about the ambiance about the restaurant. The only downside of this place is how busy the parking lot can get, especially during dinner time. It can be hard to find parking, so just be prepare for that.

Looking for a specific restaurant for Jajangmyeon and this place keeps popping up. P&Y Cafe was closing for the day and I needed to make a stop at M-Mart... so Yong Gung it is. The portions are huge, glad we shared a bowl of Ganjajang and medium sized Tang Su Yuk (Sweet & Sour Pork) for the 2 of us. The food was delicious and the portions are huge, I wish the pork was a little bit crispier before sauced but overall the food was yummy, portion size awesome and the service was amazing too. I'll def be back for other dishes to try, sounds like crab rangoon is a must try.

Hands down THE place to go for Korean Chinese food. We've tried jajangmeon many other places in town, but this is by far the best. This is also the only place we've found kkan pung shrimp done the right way and MAN, THEY DO IT RIGHT! My four year old asks to drive across town to eat here all the time. We took our Korean family from Cali here for lunch and even they were impressed. They eat in LA's KTown regularly and said the food was really good. Highly recommended. Come here. Get the two dishes mentioned above. You won't be sorry.

First of all I have to say I am kicking myself for not trying this place sooner! The food was FANTASTIC. We honestly didn't have a single thing that wasn't tasty and we ordered a lot to try it all out. The pork Katsu was perfectly breaded and crispy and paired beautifully with the cabbage salad that it was served with. We also ordered the Jajangmyeon and I could eat that everyday if I could! It had a thick sauce that coated the noodles in a lusciously rich, porky, black bean goodness I also recommend the Tteok-bokki here. Honestly the best spicy rice cake I have yet to find in Colorado! It was a perfect balance of spicy and sweet while still having a kick unlike most Tteok-bokki found in other restaurants in town. So if you like it spicy and find most people to make it far too sweet I suggest you try it out. And another taste bud show stopper is the Jam Bong Seafood Soup. The flavor profile was complex, full of umami and overall mouthwatering. As for the service our waitress was super speedy and on top of it! Never had to ask for a refill or a straw or anything she was 3 steps ahead of us the entire time. I highly recommend this establishment, the food is phenomenal, the service is speedy and the ambiance is cozy while still being trendy but not overly flashy. 10/10 would recommend

Nice little Korean spot! According to my boyfriend, one of their main focuses is the black bean noodles. They do a really great job with them! I really enjoy those noodles. Their service is also quick and the space is very casual. I love coming here when I'm specifically craving those noodles! I tried my boyfriend's jjampong and that was delicious as well!

Delicious ! Came here during a snowy day and got the JJAM Bong. Great portion size with just the right amount of spice. Definitely coming back

If you're in Aurora, this is a MUST! The atmosphere, the service, THE FOOD is amazing!! I always recommend this place to any friends and family in town. Def a hidden gem!

I have been wanting to try Ja Jang Myeon forever. This is the first restaurant I knew that serve this noodles. The Ja Jang Myeon is good. The best was the Kkan Pung Shrimp. It was crunchy and just perfect. The fried rice is ok. I will definitely come back to eat the Ja Jang Myeon and Shrimp dish again.

Nothing wrong with this place for their black bean noodles (짜장면), and their spicy seafood noodle (짬뽕) is very tasty. However, their sweet and sour pork (탕수육) is a mess here. Should have taken a picture, but wasn't too impressed with the presentation to even bother. The fruits and veggies that were on top of it seemed a little too old, especially the pineapples as they looked super dried out. We proceeded to eat anyway, and immediately knew the pork wasn't fresh. It was hard and chewy, and def had that old pork taste. My gf was immediately put off by it and didn't eat more of it. I was hungry and their sauce was good, so I ate a little more than she did. Well, we both got sick from it few hours later, me with the worse stomach ache. The two stars is from their main Korean-Chinese noodle dishes as they tasted fine. As for their sweet and sour pork, I'm sure they had an off day but I wouldn't risk getting it again.

Tried out Yong Gung as we were craving Korean food. The young man that waited on us was very very sweet and efficient. Food was very good, loved the fried chicken and liked the tteokbokki more than the jajjangmyeon. Will definitely come back to try other dishes as well.

Yong gung is my favorite jajangmyeon spot in all of the denver area! They provide a generous amount of the black bean sauce with noodles. This dish pairs perfectly with tangsuyuk. Excited to come back and try the jjamppong next time!

Great food, I love the glass noodles The service was good The ambience was cozy and nice

Service is great. Food comes out fast. But the food is mediocre at best. Noodles overcooked Regular jjajjang was not flavorful Jjambong was not good Used to be decent. But cooks/recipes changed or something

The portion was HUGE! And the prices were cheap. Very friendly service and quick. We were craving for korean chinese good while we were traveling in Denver. This place totally hit the spot. We had the jjajjangmyun (black bean sauce with noddle) and tang suyuk beef and the jjambomg (spicy seafood noddle soup) and it was so good. The jjajjangmyun was especially delicious. The noodles were cooked just right with some chewiness. It was even better than some of the ones I've had in NYC and NJ. And did I mention how big the portions were? We couldn't finish what we ordered. And for vegetarians, you can get the black bean sauce without meat! The only thing that wasn't so good was the tangsuyuk beef. It was over fried and hard. Overall it was a great yummy place for very cheap price. Definitely recommended

It took me a while to find my favorite jjajangmyeon spot but I'm glad it did! Portions are big and packed with flavor. The sauce has a good mix of onions, black beans and pork. I've been ordering take out since COVID19 happened and they never disappoint. I also enjoy their sweet and sour pork as it was the first fish I have ordered from them. I like how they separate the sauce from the deep fried pork because it prevents the pork from getting soft and soggy and you get a good crispy bite; I wish more places did this with take out! I highly recommend if you're in the area and craving some good jjajangmyeon.

We came in on a random Tuesday night and had the best experience! Our server was super sweet and accommodating, and the vibes were great even for an empty restaurant. And the food! Wow. We ordered the combo B thinking we would easily split everything and we were laughably correct. The katsu platter was MASSIVE (and so tasty -- I was skeptical getting katsu here but would totally get again. The salad was even delicious), as were the jjambong and jjajangmyun. We ate (and drank soju) until we literally thought we'd explode -- and there are still plenty of leftovers in the fridge! I'd say we found one of our staples in Aurora.

Love their black bean noodles here, every time I go here that is what I order! You guys have to try it!

Glad we found this place. Ja-jang-myun and fried chicken tasted awesome ! Good background music. Clean and bright. Will be back for sure

The service here was fast and very personable, I was really pleased with how fast, but courteous the entire crew was. With so many options it was hard to pick what dish I wanted to try, so I went with my tried and true: combination fried rice. I always go with something simple to start out with, but this fried rice was the best I ever had, and it's going to be really hard not ordering it again when I come in again. Thank you Yong Gung for being my go-to spot for my Korean-Chinese food cravings!

// Summary A solid Korean restaurant that seems to serve a solid jajangmyeon, jampong, and tangsuyuk amongst other things - a rare find in the area! // Meal Experience I came here and ordered the jajangmyeon because I'm on a mission to find the best non-KBBQ food for whenever I have my various Korean food cravings. Yong Gung might have won the battle. Sure, it's maybe not the same quality that you may find in LA or the Bay Area, but sometimes beggars can't be choosers, and Yong Gung's jajangmyeon is more than sufficient to fill my needs. I need to try the tangsuyuk - so I'll be back for sure. // Service Service was pretty good overall. Order was taken and food brought out in a timely manner. // Ambiance It's a pretty large restaurant with plenty of indoor seating, no outdoor seating. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the interior that detracts or enhances your experience. // Convenience It's in a plaza with a parking lot, but that lot seems to fill up a bit as there's a bunch of other establishments there. You should be able to find a spot.

Service is great. Our server was attentive. Food comes with good portion and taste. It was quiet when we arrived.

1.5 gen. Korean review - Haven't been to Yong Gung for about a year and tried it again today. I can only speak to the Jjambong. Spicy seafood soup. Which is my favorite and try as I might I can't seem to order anything else. It was very very good. A rich fiery red broth, slightly smoky, and piping hot. Exactly as it should be. They have alcohol now... Hallelujah!! Soji, Korean beer and domestic beer. New owner is very nice and quite young. As is the Korean music and updated decor. Menu is exactly the same and the prices seem to have dropped a couple bucks on a few items. Maybe not can't remember exactly. I love it and will be coming back.
