I came around lunch time so I understood it will be busy. When I got here, the server said they are closed. I looked at the hours and they don't close for lunch? If they are busy, just say it'll take a little longer for your food. The server simply said they are closed with no explanation and that they said they'll reopen in 5-10 mins so I waited. They started retaking orders 15 mins. I got my food in 35 mins after I ordered. So I essentially waited nearly an hour for my food. Furthermore, fried pork was COLD. Not lukewarm, I'm talking COLD. Also the spicy soup had mussels that never opened which means they were spoiled. Terrible experience.. Would never come back. read more

The H Mart food court has changed significantly during the course of the pandemic. Some vendors are still around, whereas others have changed. There used to be a Korean-style Chinese restaurant where Kyodong is now, so it is quite appropriate that Kyodong is also a Korean-style Chinese restaurant. Kyodong's other chains in Koreatown have Jajangbap, so I was disappointed when this was not on their menu. I instead ordered the jajangmyun and tangsuyuk combo, which is the Korean jajangmyun and a Korean style of sweet and sour pork. There is also a side of pickled radishes. The jajangmyun was solid, sweet as I would expect the Korean version to be. The tangsuyuk was not over breaded, and I could still taste the texture of the pork and the batter was crispy. It's a solid combination overall. Solid Korean vendor in H Mart, with standard fare for a restaurant serving Korean style Chinese food. read more

Kyodong Noodle - Jjajangmyun with Tangsuyuk - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

Went to H-Mart to do some grocery stopping and became a little hungry so we decided to try this place out. Its located inside the H-mart and once you walk in keep left and keep walking. There's multiple little restaurants where you can try different things. We decided to go for the spicy jjajangmyun and tangsuyuk combo. The spicy jjajangmyun had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. The noodles were cooked perfectly and were coated perfectly with the jjajangmyun when mixed. The jjajangmyun had a good amount of pork and vegetables in it as well. I think the star of the show though was the tangsuyuk. The tangsuyuk was so crispy and was perfectly paired with the sweet and sour sauce. Both dishes were large so definitely perfect for sharing! It comes with a little side of radish which we asked for more because it paired well with the jjajangmyun. Overall if your in the area or just finished getting some groceries this place is a great to try. They also have a non spicy version jjajangmyun! read more

So excited we don't have to drive so far!! Hands down one of the best black bean noodles!!! Jamppong is up there too!! They jam pack the jamppong with a lot of seafood and it's a lot!

I frequent H-Mart and always saw their display outside for best jjajangmyun. The restaurant in located INSIDE of H-Matt's food court. So sad I waited so long to finally try their food. Phone in to order so we didn't have to wait there for our food. Absolutely loves everything we ordered. We had their jjangmyun, jjamppong and tangsuyuk. The portions were great for the pricing. Though the pork were a bit on the pricier side but the portion was big. Can't stop thinking of their jjamppong and wished I had some right now. Support small businesses! read more

The food was okay overall. The noodles were chewy, but the soup lacked flavor. I ordered the seafood noodle soup, and while the portion was huge, it didn't really hit the spot. On the bright side, the dumplings were good and full of flavor. read more

This is located inside Hmart. We got the Spicy Jjajangmyeon and the Pork Fried Rice; both were flavorful and big servings, even suitable for two people to share. The pork fried rice oddly contains more chicken than pork. There are plenty of tables and chairs that you can utilize if you are in favor of having the food dine-in. The service was exceptional and fast. read more

As a fellow Korean, jjajangmyun has a special place in my heart and this place sure does deliver! The tangsuyuk could be better, I think sometimes the ratio between the batter and pork gets overpowered by the batter. However, I really like how they provide the tangsuyuk with the sauce on the side! It makes me not soggy on the long run, which saves the crunchy aspect of tangsuyuk. I wish the prices were on the lower end, I do think it is really overpriced for jjajangmyun and tangsuyuk here. The quality and the price does not match well in my opinion. read more

Kyodong Noodle - 3. Jjajangmyun and Tangsuyuk - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

The noodle dish/soup are delectable and worth their price. First, their jjampong is the best in SoCal. For the price, the portion is huge. Kyodong jjampong is currently, $13.99. There are seafood galore, such as a big piece of shrimp, not like many other places using itty bitty, frozen shrimp; they have numerous squid pieces; several clams with actual shells and clam meats; and several mussels with shell as well. The best part is their spicy, rich and broth like soup, which is orange in color like it should be. Other Korean-Chinese joints' soup taste like they use instant noodle flavoring, mixed in with chili pepper flakes that choke and irritate your throat. You clearly see reddish liquid with chili pepper flakes at the bottom of the soup at places that does not know what they are doing. Second, their jjajangmyun, $10.99, is a kid and adult pleaser. This noodle dish is the common Korean-Chinese. Their jjajangmyun actually has bite size meat pieces, I counted over a dozen in my bowl, unlike typical Korean-Chinese establishments in Koreatown or other areas populated by Korean immigrants such as Rowland Heights, Cerritos, Fullerton, Buena Park, etc., where you only find onion pieces in greasy oil rich sauce. I saw others try the jahpchae Bahp, glass noodle with vegetables over rice. Though, that would be a lot of carbohydrates. read more

Kyodong Noodle - Jjampong + tangsuyuk combo - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

I've been wanting to try this place every time I come to HMart and I finally had a chance today. I specifically asked the lady at the register if the Japchae was spicy or not. She shook her head and told me no and kept encouraging me to order it. I wanted to order it to take home for my kids for dinner but wanted to make sure it was not spicy. OMG the japchae here was so spicy!!! In between the noodles, I found chilies and sliced jalapeños. It was numbingly spicy for me when I taste tested so I couldn't give it to my kids to eat. What a waste of $13 that we couldn't eat. It would be helpful for the restaurant to list spicyness levels on their menus. Or at least offer a non-spicy option. Or at least be honest about your food. Unfortunately I will not come back here. read more

I decided to come back for the third time because of great second experience from the owner. Since I only had 30 minutes, I decided to place order first before shopping in hmart. I got the Ulpong combo after checking with the stuff. Staff was very helpful when I asked different meal options. After ordering, I went to shop in Hmart thinking I could just grab the food and go. When I went to pick up food after shopping, the staff first forgot to include the fried pork for my combo. I had to go back and asked for it. Then when I was waiting in the checkout line for grocery, I noticed that they did not include the sauce for tangsuyuk! I had to step out of my line and went back for the sauce. The back and forth was just a waste of time. Honestly I do enjoy the food here but if every time i left with something forgotten then what is the point. Please improve the training for staff. Thank you read more

Delicious, local jajangmyun, comes with a side of pickled radish. This is the closest place to me that makes Korean style jajangmyun. The portion is large and they give lots of bean sauce. The sauce is flavorful but not too salty, and has a good amount of pork pieces in there. The potatoes were my favorite part but there weren't that many. Will definitely come again when I have another craving (which will be soon). read more

I've had some jjajangmyun in my day and I have to say this is the best I've had in a long time since Mandarin House in Ktown closed down (single tear drop rolling down). This beautiful bowl of black bean noodles has chunks of actual meat and veggies, and the noodles are al dente and chewy. It's a freakin' great value for $9.99 for a bowl in these times. I can't wait to try the other noodles on the menu. Definite repeat visits a' comin'! read more

Jajangmyeon noodles is rated A. We weren't able to try other dishes as were in a rush that time but the customers at all ages around us were happily digging into their bowls & plates with variety of food filled with either meat, seafood or vegetables in noodle or rice. Kids openly consumed their share with ease. A sign of true deliciousness! read more

I am craving Jjangmyeon like I ate at The Source OC second floor food court. So, I give this place a try. I ordered the Jjangmyeon, pork fried rice & tangsuyuk. The Jjangmyeon noodle is chewy but I am pretty disappointed with the sauce. Maybe my mind keep having a flash back how delicious the one I ate at the Source OC. Lol I think this place the black bean sauce is lack of pork meat. Feel like just black bean sauce with many slices of onion & cucumber. The pork fried rice was okay. But, the Tangsuyuk was really yummy I will come back for this next time when I go to HMart again. read more

One of the few places you can get Jjajangmyeong which is a Chinese inspired Korean noodle dish. If you watch K-dramas you'll notice characters are always eating jjajangmyeong, no matter what show you watch!! That's because it's a pure working class food item. Cheap, tasty, filling and you get a lot. It's a thick chewy noodle, with a black bean sauce that has onions, pork and potato. You mix it up and it turns into a black pasta dish. The favor profile is mild, it looks like it would have a strong taste due to its intense color, but the black bean sauce isn't overpowering at all. You get a pretty large bowl for $10. The missus and I split a bowl and get another dish like their Mandu (6 large deep fried gyoza-like dumplings but about 5x larger than a standard gyoza). Their tansuyuk fried pork is also really good, and again you get a LOT so it's recommended to share. Located inside H Mart so it's convenient and they keep long hours as a result. Def a must go for authentic Korean comfort food. read more

Awesome place for tangsuyuk and jjajangmyun! Not the absolute best, but really really good. They have a combo where you can get both as a set for like 18.50$ after tax. Protip: tell them you want the jjajangmyun spicy, and tell them you want the sweet tangsuyuk sauce on the side. read more

5th time here now and some thoughts: They're way in the back of H-Mart (so don't leave the grocery thinking you've gotten the wrong address). I give it 3 stars because it's SUPER oily. I usually get the Jjajang-myun to eat at home (a few minutes away). By the time I get home, the oil has separated from the sauce and you can see how much is in there, and it's quite a bit. Tasty enough, but the excessive oil makes this an if-nowhere-else-is-available choice, I'm afraid. read more

I was craving some jjajangmyeon on a cold rainy day and this place was perfect! The jjajangmyeon was decent quality especially in a food court and service was very quick.

Kyodong Noodle - 3. Jjajangmyun - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

I do appreciate that their packaging included separation of the noodles from the sauce. But there were way too much sauce and not enough noodles. Portions were a bit small compared to my go to place for korean jjajiangmyun in ktown. The sauce and noodles were fine. Satisfying enough if you crave it and happen to be in the area. read more

Setting: This restaurant is in the food court of the Arcadia H-Mart. My husband and I love coming here because we can order from multiple restaurants and share. Food: We have come here multiple times and basically get a variation either Jajangmyun, spicy Jajangmyun and/or Kkhanpoong chicken. There aren't too many places in this area with good jajangmyun so anytime we have a craving for it, we end up coming here. The jajangmyun is actually really good but the spicy jajangmyun is our favorite. But watch out, it is pretty spicy. You get a few radish on the side but you can actually ask for kimchi too. Value: The portions are pretty sizeable and the prices are pretty fair. Sometimes, when my husband and I aren't that hungry, we will just share one jajangmyun and be satisfied. Service: The food typically comes out pretty quickly, never had an issue with an order. Other: We like comboing this with Kazu Mori, the katsu restaurant in the same food court! read more

I first saw this place while waiting for my order at Kazu Mori. The Jjamppong looked amazing, so I decided to give it a try one day. Finally tried the jjamppong last weekend. It took me about 25 minutes to get home (had to stop to get boba!), but to my surprise, the noodle was still al dente and not soggy at all, even after I microwave-d it. The broth was light and delicious. I ordered mild for spicy level and found it to be just the right amount of kick. Seafood was very fresh as well. Overall, it was a very satisfying and delicious meal. The portion is pretty big for me, but might not be enough for two meals, but I can probably split it in two meals with some home cooked vegetables or something on the side. Note: I placed my pick-up order through Yelp (fulfilled by Grubhub). While I waited (I got there too early), I saw that the price is $11.99 on the display, but I paid $15.99 through Yelp/Grubhub. My own fault, I should have checked the prices. So don't make the same mistake as me, just call the restaurant. read more

Kyodong Noodle - Ulppong Tangsuyuk Combo - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

Been looking for a place that sells legit jjajangmyun, after having a bad takeout experience from another place. Found newly opened Kyodong Noodle at H-Mart Arcadia and tried out their jjajangmyun and jjamppong. Their takeout containers separates the sauce from the noodles, which means no soggy noodles! This alone shows you the care they put in their food. The jjajangmyun was delicious! Long and chewy noodles bathed in that very tasty black sauce. The jjampong was equally tasty with the right amount of spice and saltiness. To level up the jjajangmyun take a few tablespoons of the jjamppong broth and mix it in.... my mouth is watering just thinking about it! This will be my weekly treat every time I shop at H-Mart Arcadia. Highly recommended! read more

I cannot eat spicy food but the #2 seafood noodle soup Ulppong was delicious! I placed my order and it was ready in about 10 minutes. I even grab a few items at H-mart while waiting. The noodle portion was very generous and I had enough leftovers (noodles only) for another meal. When I got home, I got a bit sidetrack and did not eat my Ulppong til later. To my surprise, the broth was still hot and glad the noodles were packed separately. I wish there was more seafood and the octopus were a bit chewy. However the broth was very flavorful and noodles were really good. Great meal when you feel like something broth-y! It even came with small side of yellow radish, yummy! Looking forward to visit again to try the chap chae and the jjajjangmyeon black bean noodles soon. read more

I am giving a honest, unbiased review and tried to give this place a try based on all the good feedback I've read. I ordered ja jang Myun as I love the dish and have tried it at many places. They did separate the noodles from the sauce which was great, but they gave pickled radish and no Kim chee as I'm used to having. My biggest complaint is that the sauce is too sweet. After a couple of bites I felt that I was biting into sugar. I added salt on my own but it wasn't enough and I just ended up making myself finish it. I felt that maybe some of the sweet sour pork sauce was accidentally mixed into mine. I am being fair as I say that I didn't care for it at all and this ranked in the bottom of all the ja jang myun I have tried. The service was excellent though and the presentation of the dish had effort. I would not return. read more

Kyodong Noodle - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

I really recommend this place if you're craving noodles and you're in the area! For starters, I've gotten takeout here several times in August alone. My usual is the jjajangmyun! The regular serving is big and honestly I think you can split it with a friend or maybe save half for your next meal. I've also tried the jjamppong and their tangsuyuk which are both tasty too! (I also believe there's an option to order spicy for the noodles.) I order through Yelp and the food is always ready on time + neatly packaged. I like how they separate the noodles and sauce/soup when you get to-go. They also give you pickled radish on the side! Also also: this restaurant is located within the HMart food court. There are tables available for dine-in. read more

Kyodong Noodle - Jjajangmyun Combo (smaller portion Jjajangmyun + half order Tangsuyuk). The amber colored bowl is the sauce for the tangsuyuk :] - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

Yo. For a food court restaurant, their jjamppong and jjajjangmyun was bussin. (That's really good) Their jjajjangmyun is really good! They don't really put in all the seafood that's traditionally in there (Like, I doubt they put sea cucumber) but they replace it with big juicy pieces of meat in the sauce. I'm a fan. I also like their housemade noodles. Perfect cut, perfect cook- nice and chewy. If you don't know, jjajjangmyun is a noodle dish where the sauce is made of fermented black bean paste that has been mixed and sauteed with meat, typically random seafood, onions and squash and other veggies. jjamppong is one of my favorite dishes. They did a good job here. The broth is really, really, good. I wish it was spicier. I think they do put a good amount of MSG in the broth because it's really, really good. It also made me super thirsty but my swelling the next day wasn't so bad so they may not have put as much MSG as I thought they did. Same noodles as the jjamppong, with the same texture despite being in soup. Portion sizes are large! I got a a combo which comes with less noodles. I've been here twice, and if you get the bowl of noodles not in the combo, the portion is HUGE! I've gotten their ttansuyuk which is like a version of sweet and sour pork and it's really delicious. When I got it to go the sauce was separate which I like because you can dip it in the sauce instead to ensure each bite is crispy! Overall, this place is really good. They have good to-go packaging to make sure your meal doesnt get soggy. Everyone keeps comparing it to their old jjajjang places that are hardcore established restaurants but you can't compare that to a food court restaurant. That's like comparing benihana to great khan's mongolian bbq. Honestly, I'd prefer this jjajjangmyun and my other place's jjamppong but only by a small margin namely because I like mine spicier. read more

Ordered the jjajangmyeon and it was absolutely delicious. The noodles were thick and the black bean sauce really stuck to the noodles. They serve you a good amount. I also tried the dumplings, which were large and crunchy. There is limited sit down seats available for dining in. My partner had the chicken, which was reminiscent of orange chicken. That dish was okay. Overall would come back, especially to try the jjamppong! read more

Kyodong Noodle - 3. Jjajangmyun - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

The jjajangmyeon was good, I give it a 4.5/5. The tangsuyuk was good, I give it a 4/5. The jjamppong was huge, almost twice the size of the jjajangmyeon, but it was a little disappointing. It had a decent amount of seafood in it but for me, there was not much flavor in the broth. I give it a 2.5/5. Overall I would recommend this place if you are in the area or shopping at H-mart. read more

Best black bean noodles !! So good .. Closest spot from Pasadena to Monterey Park.. Also open until 07:00Pm Thank Youu!

I find there seafood jjajangmyeon to be too salty, I've had it for a second time and it's as salty as I remember it unfortunately :/

Decided to try out this place after shopping in hmart since we were craving Jajangmyeon. For $11.99, I would say the portion is pretty worth it! The flavor of the black bean sauce is definitely on the mild side, more savory than sweet which I didn't mind. My favorite part were the noodles, they were perfectly cooked, bouncy, and chewy. I'm assuming they made the noodles in house since they were all slightly different sizes. Given it's one of the only restaurants that serves the dish in this area, I could see myself stopping by again on my next hmart run! read more

how relieeeeved was I to find that Kyodong Noodle existed near me! Whew, can pause on needing to venture all the way to ktown for just a homey jjajjangmyun (black bean noodle) and jjamppong (seafood..spicy..noodle??) meal. First off, the packaging is AMAZING! They are committed to making soggy-less food especially for to-go orders which we all really appreciated! And the portions were big-- worth the pricing. We ordered: -jjajjangmyun (black bean noodle): delicious! The items (like the other things in the black bean paste) were really yummy and well cooked. I also like eating the extra paste with rice on the side so that was yummy! -jjamppong: they did NOT skimp out on the seafood or the veggies and the soup portion was also a lot! Was very delicious and VERY hot (which was a point of recognition as my partner loves being able to just bring home the food and immediately eat versus having to reheat the soups). -tangsuyuk (the pork with the sauce): their sauce for this was very good! It wasn't just the typical sweet delicious goo with veggies, but they added a little something something to it so it was particularly tasteful. (I wish I could describe it better, maybe I'll do that on an update later) and the pork pieces were crispy and not overcooked or dry. **we tend to dip our meat so that it stays crunchy -chicken version ^: also delicious, and the sauce of this was more just on the sweeter side, you can liken it to a type of orange chicken esque sauce but less tangier. Still very good! We ordered 3 jjajjang, 3 jjamppong, 1 tangsuyuk and 1 chicken version for 7 of us and we had some leftover (though we had our own dumplings on the side). Overall, it was very tasty with great portions and nailed it for our family style food meal + the packaing-- I can't stress how much it was so well done and sturdy! GREAT for to-go meals and.. not going to lie ... i'll be reusing some of the tupperware myself :D read more

One of our fave local spots to grab Jjangmyun & Tangsuyuk without having to drive to k-town. To start off the noodles were thick & chewy and the sauce was loaded with potatoes, onion, pork & zucchini ! Of course, you can't have Jjangmyun without Tangsuyuk, their Tangsuyuk here was fried nicely and had a nice crunch. We ordered the Tangsuyuk with sauce on the side so it stayed crispy! The portions here are HUGE and can be shared between 2 people. Love how they offer a Jjangmyun & Tangsuyuk combo for about $15. The perfect spot to satisfy your jjangmyun cravings without having to drive far! Check out @bunbaosibs for more food reviews! read more
