A Dumpling Find Worth Knowing About…read more The veggie king-sized dumpling was the standout of the meal--fantastically handmade and delicious. The dough-to-filling ratio was spot-on, and the filling had a flavor that immediately reminded me of dumplings I've had in Korea. You can really appreciate the craftsmanship, and I can see why others compliment the chef's 20 years of dumpling-making experience. What an awesome find and worthy of 5 stars! Since dumplings are clearly the specialty, I also ordered the kimchi pork dumplings, but unfortunately they never made it to our table. Our waitress was very nice but seemed extremely flustered, which was surprising given that there were only two other tables occupied on a Friday evening. They kindly removed the dumplings from the bill. We also tried the soft tofu and spicy pork rib combo. We ordered the pork soft tofu, but seafood tofu arrived instead. Rather than make an issue of it, we decided to just eat it. Unfortunately, the soup was watered down and lacked much flavor. The seafood tasted previously frozen and was forgettable, while the shrimp had an older taste that made me avoid it after the first bite. The spicy pork ribs were cooked reasonably well, but the heavy sauce wasn't to my liking and is something I would probably skip next time. Overall, the dumplings are what make this place worth knowing about. I'd definitely come back for a to-go order of the handmade dumplings, but for now, that's probably how I'd enjoy them. With some improvement in the service and consistency of the other dishes, I could see myself dining in again in the far future.

The portions are huge, so it's great for sharing with friends or family. The side dishes were fresh and constantly refilled, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Even when the restaurant is busy, the food comes out pretty quickly. If you're craving Korean comfort food, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.

I haven't been here in so long, I missed it! I had some friends come by so I recommended this as…read morethey give you huge portions to share. We ordered the A set, which is the basic set of just the rice cakes, boiled eggs and veggies. WARNING: When it's time to choose the spice levels, CHOOSE MILD. I nearly forgot how strong their spice levels are, but luckily I remembered in time and we switched to mild. Even at mild, it sent my friend to the bathroom and we didn't see them for 10 minutes. (Last visit we got medium and my other friend had the same incident). I'd also like to point out that I usually have a pretty good spice tolerance, but even I needed a lot of drinks for this. That being said, it's VERY enjoyable. It's not a warning to stay away, just a warning that this place MAY humble you lol. Our server was very nice and helped explain the different things on the menu (Yupdduk vs Yup Oh) since they had the same descriptions. Also helped us with water refills when they realized we were dying. It's also pretty quiet in here so it's a great place to share food and chat with friends. Highly recommend bringing spicy loving friends here or just someone you don't like and would like to humble (Have not done this yet, but maybe once day).

I really liked the food here, but the spice scale seriously threw me off…read more I already knew Yup Dduk had a reputation for being extremely spicy, so I specifically ordered the Rosé Yup Dduk at Extra Mild. I wasn't expecting it to be completely non-spicy. I figured Extra Mild would still have a little kick, just something I could actually handle. It was still REALLY spicy. I'll admit I don't have a high spice tolerance, but my fiancée does. She loves spicy food and is usually the reason I end up trying spicy things in the first place. Even she thought this was way too spicy for something called Extra Mild. We honestly weren't sure we were going to finish it. That's what made this kind of frustrating because the food itself was really good. I loved the flavor and actually wanted to keep eating it, but the heat made it difficult to enjoy as much as I wanted to. Maybe that's just how their scale works and Extra Mild really means "the least spicy version of an extremely spicy dish." If that's the case, I definitely think first-time customers should know that going in. I'd still recommend the food if you have a serious spice tolerance, but if you're ordering Extra Mild because you're expecting something normally considered mild, just be prepared. Even Extra Mild has a lot of heat.

Overall, can't think of anything negative to say aside from the long wait list, and random group of Chinese Mainlanders that decided to cut in front of me after I waited for say 30 minutes whilst putting my name on a wait list. And here's a PSA: "Have some class & culture Mainlander Chinese--- this is America, just 'cause you drive a Mercedes doesn't mean you're entitled to cut people off at free will." Anyways, I've tried queuing several times here and finally got a table this time around. Ordered a Bulgogi Griddle, a marinated dumplings, and a Beef Seafood Tofu Soup. Excellent Ban Chans, 'specially the Kimchi, more on the sweeter side. Tofu Soup on par with Arirang San Gabriel pre-COVID, way better than BCD Rowland Heights, Alot better than 'It's Tofu' on Irvine Blvd Northwood Towne Center. A lot of ingredients packed in the stone pot, not some watered down version. So ya, I can see why everyone lines up here. Again, aside from the long wait, and the awkward tiny corner table I was seated at, this is a perfectly solid Soft Tofu House.

I wonder if its like this even when its busy. Their tofu soup has good flavor and the beef ribs as well. They also actually turn on their ac so it doesn't feel like a sauna in there. Definitely will be back

The standout dish by far was the walnut shrimp. It was honestly the best walnut shrimp I've ever…read morehad. The shrimp were perfectly golden and crispy, and the sauce was light and balanced instead of being overly sweet or heavily coated like you often find at places such as Panda Express. The shrimp stayed crispy, and the flavors were excellent. We also ordered the beef with green onions, which had great flavor and was cooked well. The spicy seafood noodle soup was another solid dish with plenty of seafood and a nice level of spice. The beef fried rice was simple but very flavorful, with egg mixed throughout, making it a great side that could easily be a meal on its own. We also tried the jajangmyeon, and it was really good. The noodles had a great texture, and the rich black bean sauce was a comforting dish Overall, everything we ordered was delicious, but the walnut shrimp completely stole the show. If you're in Rowland Heights looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant, New Garden is definitely worth checking out.

I used to frequent this place for every family celebration, and have remained a loyal customer even…read morethrough several ownership changes. However, we will not be coming here. I'll spend our hard worked money somewhere else. From the moment we walked in, the server gave us unprovoked attitude. My mom kindly asked her for one more kimchee, and this lady stared at her, rolled her eyes, and never came back. She completely ignored us again with another request while having an annoyed look. The whole time we were there, we only requested for two things, and she purposely ignored us both times whilst looking annoyed. There was no language barrier as we speak the same language as her. There was only one other group in that restaurant, so it's not like she was overwhelmed and there were several other servers. At the end, our bill already came with a 20 percent tip included in it. No one came to take our payment, so we went up to the cashier. The cashier told us that our server is the manager. No wonder the service was horrible--she clearly knew that a 20 percent tip was going to be automatically included in the bill. We will no longer be coming here. There's another similar restaurant a block from here that we will now be going to. We only frequented here for nostalgic sake and we wanted to remain loyal customers. We're closing our chapter with this restaurant today.

We were majorly disappointed with the service. The restaurant's posted closing time is 10:00 p.m.,…read moreand my husband and I at approximately 8:30 p.m., which we felt left plenty of time to enjoy our meal. However, around 9:21 p.m., the staff began turning off the lights and shut off the air conditioning while we still had several meats left to cook. We were sweating and uncomfortable, as it was very apparent that everyone wanted to go home. However we felt rushed to finish our meal rather than being able to enjoy the dining experience we paid for. If a restaurant cannot accommodate diners who arrive 90 minutes before closing, it would be more appropriate to adjust the posted hours or communicate a last seating time. We understand staff want to get home at the end of the night, but guests should not feel pressured to leave before the advertised closing time. Food wasn't bad though. We'll see in the morning!

My gf & I ordered the C1(Gangnam Couple) for $69 which I thought was pretty awesome in my head. (HEY, a pre-made combo of their best selection they have to offer, why the fuk not!). Soo starting off with the small sides, some of the side seemed to have spoiled. In photo 3, cucumber/pickled dish, DEFINITELY was not pickled, was more on the sweet/savory side. Bottom left, that one had a pickled taste & some OTHER hidden taste ... decided to bring it up close for a whiff... and yeah, smelled spoiled/old. Last but not least, Egg volcano ! ! (I'm just naming it that way). It was huge, awesome to see such a copious amount of egg but, THAT SHYT was hiding a spoiled mothafuka amount of egg underneath ! ! !.. It was GREY/GREEN, the WHOLE thing underneath, was hidden with a NEWER egg on top ! !... WUT The meats, were koo, quality was a -B, leaving it as that. Oh, service was koo, came on a Wednesday (yesterday). The place was not poppin at the time. It was just my Gf & I and, another lady who was already seated when we walked in. This place has a decent amount of room inside. Uhh, if it improves in its quality & care for the food. I'd return. If not, good luck..

That said I was pleasantly surprised with how balanced the meal was. I ordered three pockets: spicy tuna, grilled pepper salmon, and takowasa (octopus and wasabi). I will say the spicy tuna has got a kick to it! While the yubu is sweet, it's a very nice balance with the flavors from the toppings. Portion sizes are generous too, although there was more rice than toppings. Parking is plenty in this plaza. I came here on a Monday afternoon and there was no wait. My order came out within five minutes. There's a few tables inside to sit and eat as well. Would definitely come back!

There's so many toppings to choose from but I think my top 4 would have to be the fresh salmon, fresh ginger tuna, grilled bulgogi & fluffy egg.
