"Yukgaejang is a spicy, rich Korean soup made with brisket, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and scallions in bone broth, and it’s been perfected at this small, no-frills spot. The menu is limited (printed on a single laminated sheet with pictures), featuring just a few variations of yukgaejang (original, with noodles, or with tofu), as well as handmade steamed pork dumplings, pork belly with a side of kimchi, and cold buckwheat noodle soup.

Yuk Dae Jang Review - San Gabriel - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"There are more than 220 Yuk Dae Jang stores in Korea, with five in Southern California and just one in the SGV. Especially during the pandemic, I feel like I should eat mostly at tiny family-owned or independent shops, but there’s a reliability to this place that makes me happy. That means galbi jjim (beef short ribs), bossam (pork belly), and the namesake of yukgaejang (spicy shredded brisket stew in an ox bone broth) with toothsome ahjumma-made pasta that I can count on. When that ox bone flavor hits you, you realize that this place is all about the juice. With a small outdoor seating tent, this is a reliable spot to gather with your pod - when you’re done, pop over to Bopomofo Cafe for a refreshing boba from YouTube star Phil Wang. photo credit: Andrea D'Agosto" - Dakota Kim

Where to Get the Best Korean Noodles in Los Angeles - Eater LA

"Yukgaejang, or Korean-style spicy beef soup, exists in a gray area of “soups with some noodles” alongside seolleongtang and gukbap where the noodles (usually dangmyeon, or glass noodles) are a relatively minor aspect of the dish. Enter Yuk Dae Jang, which takes one of Korea’s most beloved dishes and adds a healthy helping of wheat flour-based, hand-pulled knife-cut noodles. Traditionalist chefs might be given to pearl-clutching to see Korean royal court food sullied with such nonstandard ingredients as knife-cut noodles in a yukgaejang. With the city’s current obsession with thicker, hand-pulled noodles in noodle soups, however, the reimagining feels timely — and it tastes delicious." - Euno Lee

We’ve been here several times and every visit is just as amazing as the last… The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel like family every time. The food is amazing and always delicious, the pricing is very affordable, and the overall experience keeps us coming. We happily drive 30-40 minutes just to enjoy this hidden gem. Highly recommended.

Absolutely incredible, it's currently ranked number 8 out of 115 restaurants on my list. Perfect Korean comfort food and potentially one of the best in house kimchis I've ever had. I bought a jar of kimchi after the first bite.

Oh man this place is fantastic. Service is great and fast, food is fantastic. Banchan was stellar all around. Kimchi was crunchy and tasty, fish cakes were soft and chewy, pickled veggies were so crunchy and spicy. The Yukgaejung with ramyun was so tasty, with a slight kick, tons of perfectly cooked ramen, tender brisket, and loads of veggies. The flavor was so smooth but bold that coats your mouth. The highlight is the premium bossam in house special soy sauce. The onions soak up all the sauce and become soft and sweet. The pork belly is cut at just the right thickness, not fatty or chewy at all, and the meat is so soft while soaking up all that delicious sauce. I love the accompaniments like the salty squid, garlic, rice, and more. Prices are great for the portion sizes and quality. I will definitely be back

The braised spicy beef rib is my favorite—tender, flavorful, and packed with lots of meat. The dish is loaded with delicious ingredients like potato, rice cakes, and flat glass noodles, making every bite so satisfying. Their soft tofu soup is also a must-try, perfectly seasoned and comforting. Highly recommend this spot for hearty, authentic Korean food!

A Korean restaurant. It’s fine to stop by for lunch, but I wouldn’t go out of my way expecting high-end Korean cuisine. Unfortunately, the vegetarian options are pretty limited. On the plus side — they allow dogs! My pup was happy!

They have the best Korean spicy beef ramen! Pork belly is so good too. We always order these three items when we visit Yukdaejang. The staff are good too. Not a big place.but clean and nice. Recommended ❤️

I went for dinner last Friday and had a wonderful experience. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it! What we ordered✨ Premium Tripe & Brisket Hot Pot - Hot pot comes in generous portions with assorted mushrooms, glass noddles, tofu and fresh tripe and brisket. You could pick one that fits your liking! Premium Bossam in House Special Soy Sauce - Very impressed with its flavor! The meat is lightly seasoned and has a subtle and clean saltness and sweetness. This dish is very appetizing, and I would definitely come back for this! Other recommendations: - Premium Beef Rib with Flat Glass Noodle - Premium Bossam - Original YukDaeJang with Fresh Pasta/Ramen (a lot of ppl come for their signature noodles!) Free parking in the plaza.

My first time trying yukgaejang. I got the original with glass noodles. The soup was flavorful, warm, and huge! The banchan was also fresh and tasty. The restaurant was not too busy in the afternoon so I had the restaurant to myself to eat peacefully. Would come back again!

The spicy beef noodle soup (not too spicy) with the fresh pasta is mighty delicious. Their seafood version of the soup is also a favorite of mine. Any savory stews or noodle soup you can't go wrong here. I didn't care for the Bossam, meaning I had better versions before. Yuk Dae Jang is a well-known restaurant brand from Korea, the food here is authentic and so good! Multiple locations come to mind in Southern California: Irvine, San Gabriel, Koreatown, Gardena, and beyond. -Parking on the premises of the mini-mall;although tight. -Payment: Credit and Cash.

One of my favorite korean restaurants in LA. They have the best Bossam, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and I love their army style soup -- it's a burst of flavors! Their white and regular kimchi are so good, I end up always ordering a jar of it to take home. Highly recommended! The place is small so male sure you bring a bit of patience with you, but I promise the wait is worth it.

Prompt and friendly service, even better soup!! We felt a little chilly after walking in Santa Monica in the evening so we were craving some spicy soup. I ordered the original yuk gae jang with soft tofu which came with rice. My partner ordered the original yuk gae jang with ramyun. Both were delicious and sitting in a rich, spicy broth. The ramyun soaked up the broth so well so I would highly recommend that if you like noodles in your soup. It's a small restaurant with limited seating but we came around 8pm on a weekday and didn't have any trouble getting a table.

Most delicious comfort food in ktown, and with the best braised beef. Their spicy pasta is incredibly tasty and must order for the spicy lovers and the comfort Korean food with clean taste soup and dumplings. The parking is free with plenty of space. Their service is great and quick!

A simple menu that is done right. I recently visited Yuk Dae Jang for the first time, and it is nothing like anywhere else i've been! Definitely amazing presentation of the pork belly, which paired perfectly the crunchy cabbage and sides. Every bite is customizable!

I had an incredible experience here. The food was absolutely amazing--each dish was bursting with flavor and clearly crafted with care. From the side dishes to soup. The ambiance of the place was equally impressive; the vibe was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for both delicious food and a great atmosphere!

First time here because of a recommendation from a friend. Was not disappointed at all. Service was nice and you have an option to sit outside as well. Very rarely do I see any Korean restaurants offer bossam and was very happy that they not only offer it but it was good. I also ordered the Premium Tripe & Brisket soup with their mixed grain rice which was super yummy . A must try for sure.

The braised short ribs at Yuk Dae Jang are incredibly tender, and the meat is packed with flavor. The overall taste is slightly sweet, and the small side dishes provided in the restaurant balance the richness, making the meal not greasy at all. Every winter, I love coming here with my friends. Their portions are large and very affordable. Besides the short ribs, the pot is filled with a variety of ingredients such as flat glass noodles, shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, potatoes, pumpkin, and more. If you take your time eating, the potatoes and pumpkin soak up all the flavors and are absolutely delicious. Their steamed dumplings with spicy octopus filling and pork filling are both excellent. I highly recommend their steamed pork belly pot. The pork belly is lightly smoked, giving it a rich, aromatic flavor. There's no overwhelming seasoning--just a perfect balance of napa cabbage, garlic slices, and chili peppers, making every bite a delightful experience.

You can never go wrong with traditional Korean soybean paste stew! With a hint of sweetness, it's perfect for winter!

There is a free parking lot but it's not super big so the parking spaces can be a bit tight. I went with two other people and between the three of us, we all got the original yukgaejang but all with different noodles (glass noodles, fresh pasta, and ramyun). I got the glass noodles and really liked the way it complimented the broth. The broth was very flavorful and hearty, perfect for a chilly day. I paid $1 extra to get my broth extra spicy. It was a nice level of spice, not burning but flavorful. The $1 extra also included a bowl of white rice. I also tried my friends' noodles and I think I would get the fresh pasta next time. It's chewy and thicker than the glass noodles, which I prefer. The ramyun was also good but didn't stand out to me. The meal also comes with 3 banchans: kimchi, fish tofu, and pickled carrots and onions. Our favorite was the fish tofu, which we ended up asking for 3 refills of. The ambiance was very cozy. They play korean music at a reasonable volume, with a large tv in the corner of the restaurant playing the accompanying music video. It wasn't too crowded when we went around 5:30pm but there was a regular flow of people coming in/getting take-out. The restaurant isn't super big but if you had a bigger group, they do have a table for 6 or could possibly combine tables of 4 to accommodate (but I'm not 100% sure). The service was good (pleasant but nothing stood out) and our food came out very quickly. Things to note: - to-go containers are $0.25 each - parties of 5+ will have a service charge of 18% Overall, all three of we enjoyed our experience here! The portion was big enough that we all had leftovers to take home.

On a chilly, cloudy day, I stopped by for some warm soup. The service was quick, and the soup hit the spot, though it had a bit too many scallions for my taste. It definitely satisfied my cravings for something comforting. One suggestion: it would be helpful if the waitstaff took a moment to ask if customers had any questions about the menu. If my coworker hadn't been with me, I would have been left wondering about the different types of soup or what the staff might recommend.

This place is solid for their yukgaejang, their specialty on the menu. I think it's a bit on the oily side but the taste hits the spot regardless (especially if you grew up eating it). I got their kimchi+pork mandu and the octopus mandu as well. Their mandus are average. The women who work there are nice. Free parking in the lot.

Soooooo good! I've had a lot of different kinds of Korean food but have never tried yukgaejang (spicy beef noodles). This is basically what YDJ specializes in and definitely lives up to its name. Walked in on a pretty cold, windy day so I was already craving some soup. I also ordered the dumplings (which I think was the octopus one). Dumplings were not that amazing and not worth the price in my opinion. However, the yuk gae jang was incredible. I got mine with purple rice and glass noodles which I think matches the soup better. It was very flavourful and I loved the beef in it. This was so good that I ended up ordering DoorDash like two weeks later and the delivery version was great as well. Service is very standard ktown; nothing amazingly great but still attentive. The restaurant was also designed very ktown-esque and made use of its small space. Overall, great spot in ktown!

Soooo good, comparable to hangari kalguksu in my opinion! The handcrafted mandu & rice cake in ox bone broth was addictive and the bossam was good too (although I do prefer hangari's bossam). Attentive workers and I always feel taken care of when I eat here. Small parking lot in front.

Got the original yukgaejang with glass noodles. Tasted excellent especially during the cold windy season. Soup came with purple rice, fish cake, and kimchi. Fish cake had a strong fish taste compared to other places I tried but that's just personal taste. I'd come here again for the yukgaejang!!

5 stars for the service, but obviously the food was delicious and filling. The woman that helped us out was super sweet and attentive.

This was my second visit to this location, and I enjoyed it every bit as much as my first visit. Went here for a late lunch and there was no wait to be seated. I've had their original Yuk Gae Jang with Handmade Pasta, and it's the perfect warm soup to cure a stuffy nose and bring you comfort. This time I opted for the Spicy Bibim Noodle. They gave a generous portion of meat with the noodles and the seasoning was delicious. What I liked: - Just yummy good quality Korean noodles - Fast service - Side dishes were tasty. My Korean friend wanted to make sure I mentioned that their kimchi is good. - Covered outdoor seating available - Generous portions They share a parking lot with other small businesses like Yeems coffee.

We've come here on multiple occasions and we love this place. It is a good go to Korean spot for some therapeutic spicy Korean food, both for cold and hot days. We like getting both their yukgaejang and a bimbimnengmyun (spicy cold noodle) to warm and cool us up. It's such a good experience!!! You can never go wrong here! Servers are nice and friendly and the place might be a bit small but not too tight either, we usually just really enjoy their food here and get a little too carried away! Great for all casual occasions, but maybe not big parties! Parking is available at the front but can be very tight and uncomfortable! We will always come here!

Went to a location in San Diego and vowed I would return to an LA location! Came here on a Thursday around 7 pm. There was plenty of parking in the small lot that served multiple businesses. The inside wasn't busy at all. The employees were all Korean and very attentive and friendly. Just an fyi if you plan to take things home and dine in, there is a 25 cent charge for a to/go container so maybe bring your own container (saves money and is planet friendly!). Last time I came I had the original yuk gae jang with custom made ramyum and it was so delicious! This time we ordered the handcrafted Mandu & rice cake in ox bone broth, the premium tripe and brisket yuk gae jang, and the medium premium bossam boiled in various herbs all for 3 people. The bossam came out first served with an amazing variety of banchan. With the bossam on a hot plate, we received purple rice, white rice, kimchi, white kimchi, fish cake, chives, spicy pickled veggies, lettuce, garlic, jalapeños, soy bean paste, and shrimp sauce. They went so well with the bossam! We replenished some of the banchan a few times and it was heaven in my mouth. So happy to have tried this and would definitely get again! I enjoyed the yukgaejang, the broth was delicious but I wasn't a fan of the texture of the tripe as much. I prefer the original yuk gae jang that just comes with the meat. The mandus were very yummy and the broth was so flavorful as well! I even mixed this broth with the spicy broth together. The rice cakes were okay, not permeated with much flavor so I ate it with some of the bossam fixings. Still delicious and comforting food with fast and friendly service! Definitely will be back.

This place was so good I think they have the best mul naengmyeon I've tried. Sometimes I have an issue with these cold buckwheat noodles because the beef is too dry but this place it was amazing and juicy and flavorful. Their banchan was also delicious and their service is amazing they were constantly refilling the banchan. It's a cute little spot with a parking lot in the front. Would definitely recommend

This was one of the best meals of my life. The bossam was bussin, cooked to perfection. We ordered the medium size for 3 people. The I love that it comes with a bunch of delicious banchan! The pork with a bit of kimchi, a bit of pickledgreen onion, and garlic wrapped with lettuce was the perfect bite. mmmm The ox bone broth with mandu was so warm and comforting, I would definitely recommend. Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!

Some of the best Korean pork belly I've had. Meat was fatty and tasted great with the salty fermented shrimp sauce and the spicy sauce they provide. With the purple rice, it tasted perfect and complemented the side dishes (banchan) they provided perfectly. The portion sizes could have been bigger, but finishing the banchan filled us up nicely. Service was relatively quick and our banchan was refilled promptly. Servers were nice. There's outdoor seating which made for a relaxed atmosphere! Be sure to stop for bingsoo for dessert afterwards.

I got the original YukDaeJang with custom made ramyun and loved it! It was very filling and I actually got to take half of it home! That's how big it was! The beef was super tender and juicy, it all blends well together with the veggies that come with it. It's such a great meal after a night out so I definitely recommend this place. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy either. It's definitely a place to eat with a couple friends or a date! It might be harder to sit a bigger group as the space is smaller in size.

I was very thankful that the owner invited me back to try the restaurant again. I ordered a few different items on the list and I was surprised that the meat was not as dry as before! Are you doing the weekdays? It does pick up during lunch, which is a good sign. I definitely recommend the dumpling rice cake soup on a cold LA day. Parking is also pretty packed, but I was lucky enough to find a spot. There are also a few takeout orders that I've noticed since I was eating here.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Very good food! Me and my friend came here for sunday lunch. We ordered galbi-jjim. It was so delicious! Price is a little bit pricy but it was worth it Yukgaejang hotpot especially when the foods are totally heated in the soup including the beef rib, pumpkin, potatoes, noodles. This was my favorite. They have a free parking lot. Sunday afternoon was not too busy at this place. Server were super nice

This is my favorite Ramen I've ever had! It's slightly creamy, the beef is A1- delicious and tender, the noodles have a great texture and proportion. The restaurant is fairly small and doesn't have much seating, but the environment is pretty cool. The service has always been good, helpful and quick. My favorite Ramen spot hands down!

On a Wednesday evening, our group of 4 stopped by for dinner. We were seated immediately and there were only a few other parties. We ordered pork belly to share, and I got cold noodles. The food was really good but on the expensive side. My only complaint was that the pork belly was meant for 3-4 people and they gave us like 3 pieces or lettuce collectively??? So we had to ask for more multiple times, knowing it's a dish you wrap in lettuce and dip..... Service could improve a lot, as we had to flag down the staff for water and ask for bonchon refills, as they never stopped by the table to check in.

I haven't heard of this spot before or had yukgaejang, so I was excited when my friend introduced it to me. We came during the evening of a weekday, so it wasn't too crowded and we were seated immediately. I ordered the original yukgaejang with glass noodles and was pleasantly surprised with what comes with it. On top of the yukgaejang, they also give you a bowl of rice and a few sides. I thought the portion size was pretty decent, so I knew I wasn't going to finish my bowl of rice. But this might be my new favorite noodle soup because of how flavorful it is. The shredded beef was also super tender and really elevated it. I liked how there was a slight spicy kick to the broth. It was a very comforting dish and it would be a great meal for a rainy or cold day. I was really satisfied with this meal and I definitely plan to go back soon! There's a parking lot available with plenty of parking. The staff is super friendly and offered coffee candy after our meal. It's a decent size store and I can imagine it getting busy on the weekend. If you haven't tried this place before, I highly recommend it.

The centerpiece of Yuk Dae Jang is undoubtedly their Yukgaejang/육개장. It is a masterful rendition of the classic Korean spicy beef soup. The broth was a rich tapestry of flavors; simmering beneath its surface were tender strands of beef, their fibers imbued with the soup's piquant spices. The verdant scallions and bracken ferns were not only a visual contrast but also a textural complexity, their crispness playing off the softness of the meat. A solid recommendation for homemade-style Yukgaejang/육개장. 4/5. The banchan, an ensemble of side dishes, were a kaleidoscope of colors and flavors. Each small plate was a fair testament to the diversity of Korean cuisine. That being said, portions were relatively small and on the bitter end. 3.5/5. While the food was a reliable collection of tastes and textures, the service, though efficient, lacked the subtle notes of warmth that elevate a meal from nourishing to nurturing. The efficiency was appreciated, but a more personal engagement would have transformed the service from perfunctory to memorable. 3.5/5. The restaurant's decor is a harmonious balance between modernity and tradition. The interior was suffused with a warm glow, casting a comforting light over the neatly set tables. 5/5. While the service could use a touch more warmth, the excellence of the food, particularly the Yukgaejang, makes it a noteworthy destination for both enthusiasts of Korean cuisine and newcomers alike.

Oh man oh man oh man! What amazing food. I've tried the Irvine location, which was very good, and this location is just amazing as well. Food: everything was cooked to perfection. The beef is literally so tender and juicy. The amount of beef makes the price worth it - probably a bit more than what you'd get at Sun Nong Dan for a similar price. The flavor is aromatic and layered. The veggies are great matches for the meat, and the side dishes are only 3, but all very solid. Service: server was super sweet. He cut all the meat up into perfect bite-sized chunks. He also packed up our leftovers. I didn't know kimchi was dine in only so I asked to get some kimchi to go. He was super nice and still gave me a little box. Other: came in around 5pm on a Saturday to avoid the crowd, and it worked pretty well. We sat down, ordered right away, and waited for about 20 mins for the foood to come out. Parking was easy, and ambiance was great.

Was in Korea town for a concert at The Wiltern and wanted to eat some yummy food before the show. This spot was conveniently located on our way and had high reviews, so of course we stopped in! The place was packed on a Thursday evening with only one table available. We quickly snagged it and were immediately tended to. We both opted for the original ramen and it was amazing. Our food came out quick and tasted so good. The ramen had the perfect amount of spice and paired well with a Cass beer. It comes with brisket, which also tasted super yummy. I wish we lived closer to this spot to visit more often!

So sorry about the confusion with location. I will definitely will try your Irvine location as well . Still so sad to loose Buena Park location.

First time coming here and this place did not disappoint. There wasn't too many people when we got there (around 2pm Sunday) so finding parking was relatively easy. The food came extremely fast; we ordered Premium Bossam Boiled in Various Herbs (S), Original YukGaeJang with Glass Noodle, and Brisket Cold Soup Buckwheat Noodle. The Bossam had a slight sweet taste to it which made the dish so much more flavorful! I instantly fell in love with the YukGaeJang broth. It had a slight coconut cream taste to it, combined with the spiciness, it was the perfect dish. Although the taste wasn't as strong, the side dishes helped pair nicely. The Cold Noodle wasn't the best but upon adding vinegar and mustard to taste, the flavor was enunciated! Overall amazing food, 10/10 would come here again!!!

Went to Korea Town, LA, to indulge in some Korean soup. I ordered the Seafood Premium YukGaeJang Soon Tofu with rice $17.99. It was tasty, spicy and lots of tofu. My guest ordered the Seafood Premium YukGaeJang with Ramen Noodles $19.99. Both were served with side dishes of kimchi, green beans and one other item that I don't know what it was called. I also had a Korean beer called Terra $9.99. Free parking in a semi crowded lot. Service was typical of a Korean restaurant. I'd go here again next time I'm in LA.

The parking area is pretty small. The restaurant itself is also a small place so it got full pretty quickly when we were there, but service is pretty fast! The food was delicious! We ordered a small platter of the premium bossam, as well as pork/chive mandu and original yukgaejang with custommade ramyun which isn't pictured. Everything came out pretty fast and tasted amazing. My personal favorite is the bossam! The mandu had a nice, chewy skin and was full of juicy filling. The ramyun was well made and the broth was flavorful with a nice kick of spice. Will definitely be coming back here!

The braised spicy beef ribs was the highlight! It had a good amount of meet that was super soft and melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Yuk Dae Jang is a spin on the name, Yuk Gae Jang, a traditional Korean beef soup with brisket meat, green onions, bean sprouts, and noodles. This place takes Korean comfort food to a whole new level! How did I not know about this place sooner? I actually passed by this place a few times and didn't realize what a hidden gem this is! There are many and various noodle options for beef soup, including glass noodles, custom-made ramyun, and handmade noodles! I decided to go for the Original Yuk Gae Jang with fresh pasta, which was delicious! I was so full! It's definitely the right portion with some tasty side dishes as well! They're known for their Yuk Gae Jang, but they also have the pork dish bossam, hot pot, and mandu dumplings. A simple menu, but quite effective. Overall, I would definitely recommend it if you're in Ktown and there's parking and patio seating!
