I think since they, much to his dismay, the SF location closed down but they established this new location, much to my delight, in Concord. The first time I came here was for my friend Maria's birthday. She treated the table of 9 for her birthday. We ordered three Kalbijjims with torched cheese and extra egg with varying levels of spice. Additionally we ordered a dolsot bibimbap with fried tofu for my vegetarian bestie, japchae, and countless bottles of flavored and unflavored soju for the table. It was a feast and a magnificent and delicious one at that. Since that dinner, I had been meaning to come back. Within the year, I ended up coming here a total of four times, each time ordering their signature Daeho Kalbijjim. It had continued to hit the spot each time, and the service has been great. This Concord location also does a good job at keeping everything clean and immaculate. Huge kudos.

I've heard of Yi Ji Chang Fen but only tried it today. I've eaten so much dim sum in my lifetime, so my standard for dim sum may be higher. We came around 5PM on a Saturday and there wasn't anyone really there. It could be because dim sum feels more like a morning or lunch thing, or it could just be because we were there for a very early dinner. Between our party, we shared: - Marinated Chicken and Mushroom Rice Roll - Stuffed Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf - Steamed Chicken Feet w/ Black Bean Sauce - Black Gold Egg Custard Buns - Chicken Feet with Herbs - Dry Style Beef Chow Fun And one Honey Lemon Tea for me. The honey lemon tea was a comfort for the cold day. Maybe a bit too much honey, but still good for the throat during the dry season. The chow fun came first and surprisingly it was not bad. There was a bit of 'wok hey' there and it stands out as one of the better dishes we had. As for the rice roll - I wanted to try something less conventional and I've never seen chicken in rice rolls, so I thought it would be interesting to try. It was quite disappointing though. Their rice roll was bigger than normal in width so with rice rolls being a struggle to pick up already, the bigger size made it an even bigger struggle. Everything just slipped out of the rice roll and it wasn't evenly wrapped. There were some bunched up layers on the edges. I think the chicken just didn't pair that well either and it was lacking in ingredients. Maybe the more conventional rice rolls would be better. For the two types of chicken feet, I normally like the one in herbal soup. If made well, the chicken feet has a nice flavor to it. For Yi Fen's herbal chicken feet, their portion was pretty good, but flavor was less prominent. I enjoyed the chicken feet in black bean sauce more because the flavor was better. Lastly, for the stuffed sticky rice and black gold egg custard buns, I suspect that these are not made in-house, but rather store-bought. The sticky rice lacked ingredients and the rice was a little harder than if made fresh. And the perfectly shaped black buns with a golden brush stroke on top (which I've seen all over the internet) seemed too elevated-looking compared to everything else. I'm not the biggest fan of molten lava buns, but they came out nicely. I didn't have any, but the molten lava custard was pretty runny. All in all, an okay experience. Service was a bit lacking. I don't recommend the dim sum dishes, but if I happen to want congee, I may give this place another go. Apart from the dim sum and rice rolls, the noodles I glimpsed from other customers looked not bad. I wonder if other locations are better.

I learned they offer two versions: a "savory dry stir fry" and a "spicy dry stir fry". Both looked fairly spicy, but the staff explained that the savory one is milder and has a slightly sweeter flavor. I decided to go with that. It turned out to be delicious. The sauce was perfectly balanced, savory without being too sweet, with a subtle peanut flavor. It was still spicy in my opinion, especially since there was a noticeable dollop of chili oil on top, but it paired really well with steamed rice and I love spicy food. Unfortunately, the rice itself was not great. The top layer was hard and crunchy, like the overcooked bits you sometimes get at the bottom of a rice cooker. Aside from that, the meal was very satisfying. I also really enjoy their sauce bar, where you can mix your own condiments to complement the dish. Next time, I would definitely like to try the "spicy dry stir fry" version.
