Jjamppong ($16.99). 6/6/2026
Sandra L.

Kyodong Noodles inside this HMART food court is still my go-to when it comes to Jjamppong ($16.99)! Portions are still great and the flavors are on point! This is the best place to come for a no frill big bowl of delicious Jjamppong! It's not Kyodong's fault since it's not managed by them, but the tables here are often very sticky and dirty. They need more staff to come around and clean the tables.

Jjampong and tangsuyuk
Jenmy W.

Very good jjampong, especially for a food court. It's better than the jjajangmyun here IMO. The tangsuyuk is just ok. A little pricey for being in a food court but the price is on par with other takeout places in Irvine I guess. I'll come back if I'm not in the mood to go to garden grove for Korean Chinese food.

Jjajangmyun Combo
Elle K.

Gave this place another shot today. Busy, because Koreans have a soft spot for Korean-Chinese food. This cuisine is about nostalgia. The tangsuyuk did not have enough of its signature sauce. The black noodles were bland. I think it's due to their choice of noodles. The same grumpy and rude staff person is there. However, he's balanced out with a couple of friendlier staff so it's a better experience. He does come up in a lot of these reviews. It would be helpful for the owner to read these...

Went to Kyodong Noodle and ordered the Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) combo and the Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle) combo. Both combos come with Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), which makes it a really satisfying and well-rounded meal. This is always a spot we keep coming back to, especially for their jjamppong, jjajangmyeon, and tangsuyuk. It consistently hits the spot and you pretty much know exactly what you're getting every time, which I really appreciate. The Jjamppong is flavorful with a nice spicy kick and loaded with seafood. The Jjajangmyeon is rich, savory, and super comforting. The Tangsuyuk adds a great crispy texture and sweetness that balances everything out. Food usually comes out pretty quickly, which is great when you're extra hungry. Overall, it's definitely a staple spot in our rotation whenever we're craving Korean-Chinese comfort food.

Probably one of the most popular places in the hmart westpark food court. The portions are huge and shareable, the service is fast, and the food is flavored well. We got the black bean noodle with tangsuyuk combo. The bowl does seem smaller than before, but its okay as in general its still shareable. The noodle soup ones however are huge and does have that seafood fragrance. Black bean noodle- good noodles with nice chew, flavor is good with potatoes onion and pork chopped in nice square flavors. Not too salty or black bean fermented tasting, not too oily, overall well made. Pickles- soo good to go with the noodles. Its saltier than you expect (as the yellow ones from the package are sweet) but the crunch helps break up the chewy mass of the noodles and its good to ask for extra. Tangsuyuk - got the sauce on the side. Suuper thick sauce. Sweet and sour, best if you like orange chicken. The breading is not too oily, airy and with a nice chew crunch (not hard) Overall, I feel like the quality has stayed consistent and the flavor even improved so I'd recommend here if you have this craving. I would love some fresh/pickled veg like pickled onions or cucumber, but i dont think thats authentic lol.

Located in the foodcourt of the hmart- It's just okay. Went on a weekday lunch. Was told that they're getting backed up and it would take 15-20 minutes. That's fine. Ordered a combo of the jajang and the tangsuyuk... It was pretty straightforward. Order, pay, wait for the number to be called and get it. Eat, return the tray. Ambiance wise, it's a food court so quick in and out for this one. The food though was tbh, just okay. I felt that the sauce of the jajangmyeon was a little watered down. It seemed that it lacked that oomph that other places have. Maybe it's because they were overwhelmed with all the orders. It's also a little pricey standalone wise compared to other places. But since I got it as a combo with the tangsuyuk, it wasn't bad. The tangsuyuk was served with the sauce on it. I should have requested to have it on the side. Unfortunately, they dont really offer water here. They can give you a disposable cup and send you to a water fountain. So best to just get a drink / boba from another spot. In anycase, this one is just okay.

I think this is our new favorite place for jjampong in Irvine -- we had previous said it was Paik's Noodles on culver, but I think it's here now. Compared to Paik's, Kyodong's broth has more seafood flavor and is a little less spicy. I think there's less pork as well. Overall, it makes for a milder but more rich and nuanced flavor. As for ingredients, Kyodong gives you more shellfish and less veggies and pork. The bowl at Kyodong is also larger, so there's a nicer presentation (for those who care about presentation at a food court lol). We're definitely coming back.

Korean Chinese spot with solid portions but the flavor didn't fully hit. Jajangmyeon: Maybe? It was fine but felt a little too light. Missing that deep savory punch that makes this dish so satisfying. Sweet and Sour Chicken: Maybe? Also just okay. The coating was crispy but the sauce leaned way too sweet for me. Would've been better with a little more balance. Portions were big though which I appreciated. Good value for how much food you get but not something I'd crave again. Food: 6/10 Value: 7/10

Jjajangmyun Noodles
Levis K.

Tucked away into the hmart food court is where you'll find this spot. I came here on my lunch with a coworker to try out something different than what we'd normally get. He got the jjajang noodles with fried dumplings and I got the pork fried rice with jjajang sauce. His noodles came out very watery... different from any jjajang noodles we have ever gotten anywhere else. By the time he got past the sauce and the top half of the noodles he was faced with a soupy watery bowl. The fried dumpling was good, had a nice crispy outer shell and a soft chewy mix of meat and veggies. Nothing too crazy, nothing too extravagant but it sufficed. The fried rice was mostly good, but I couldn't even finish half. The portion is huge and it's very filling. The pork was a bit dry while the rice tasted drenched in oil and salt. The jjajang sauce was good though to eat together with the rice. The service was great - the worker was very friendly and professional. Since it's inside the hmart food court expect it to be loud - plenty of seating inside though. Overall, I don't know if I'd come back to try it again. The food just did not impress me, unfortunately. The noodles became soup and the rice was super oily. If I come back again I'd have to try something else to see if it's worth it.

Seafood Jajangmyeon Noodles
May W.

Nice option in the H-Mart food court. The jjampong noodles are a large portion and can be shared by two people easily. Maybe I don't like jjampong, but the noodles were very saucy and not that much flavor. Service was fast and nice!

Jjajangmyun Combo Tangsuyuk
Chrissy L.

The Jjajangmyun Combo Tangsusuk came in a very large portion enough to leave you very full. Taste was average. A good option if you want generous portions at a reasonable price.

Jjamppong Noodles
Yena W.

Their jjamppong is so huge, enough for two or one very hungry person, with perfect noodle texture in a gloriously red spicy seafood broth that will leave an orange-red ring around your mouth. The +$20 price for a bowl of noodle soup in a food court might be eyebrow raising but the generous portion and the frozen but still good variety of seafood that flavors the broth so nicely is well worth it.

Pork Fried Rice
Norma M.

We came here to check out the food court inside HMart on Alton Parkway. Lots of good Asian food stalls inside. I ended up ordering Pork Fried Rice at Kyodong. Friendly and fast service despite the long line. I like that there is a monitor in front of each stall displaying your order #, to let you know if your food is ready. There's also someone who announces the order # when ready. My pork fried rice was very tasty and generous portion. I had it for 4 meals I think. The only knock was how the pork was cut (wished it was thinner or maybe small cubes) but taste-wise I truly enjoyed it. I also liked the black bean sauce with onions that it came with.

Feeling like some Korean food, I remembered being curious about this place. We are often in this…read moreplaza because we're always shopping for groceries at the H Mart. We finally gave it a shot today. We ordered the steamed pork belly, cold noodles, and the galbi soup. The food was very good. My mom was quite happy with the cold noodles and my kids consumed every drop of the galbi soup. My dad and I had the steamed pork belly and we agreed that it was pretty good. The part I want to really emphasize was the service. The young man that took care of us was very attentive and most importantly, treated my kids so well. He provided them with all their usual needs like plastic silverware, extra bowls for soup, and even offered extra soup when he saw that they devoured the galbi soup. He went out of his way to give them some BTS Edition Oreos and little bags with stickers in them. I am always very grateful anytime people take care to treat my kids well. I'm glad we decided to give this spot a try.

They even make their own kimchi and my husband even said their kimchi is the best he's had in a restaurant. The braised short rib was great and came with tons of toppings like glass noodles and kabocha. Lastly the army stew was the perfect dish to tie everything together. It was rich and just lightly spicy. Definitely need to come with at least 4 people to be able to try everything! We came as a family of 4 and it was the perfect amount of food. There was only one server but he was great and would constantly come and tell us if the stew was ready or to refill banchans.

The food is consistently solid, the banchan is a standout, and the whole experience always feels fun and easy. I tried the raw marinated crab for the first time here, and it was so flavorful and honestly tasted amazing. It is definitely a little messy to eat, but I would absolutely order it again. The short ribs are usually my go-to and were great as usual. I will say BCD Tofu House probably has them beat when it comes to LA galbi specifically, but these still hit the spot. The bulgogi was also a solid addition to the table. One of my favorite parts of coming here is the banchan. The sides always taste super fresh, feel a little more unique than the usual lineup, and seem to change depending on the season or what they are featuring. The mac salad and japchae are always favorites for me, and you really cannot go wrong with the kimchi or cucumber kimchi either. Service is consistently quick, easy, and attentive.

This isn't the place for trendy fusion dishes or flashy presentation; it's all about hearty Korean comfort food that feels especially satisfying on a cold day. My go-to Korean dishes are Yukgaejang and Bossam. The spicy beef soup is usually my benchmark for any Korean restaurant. Tang 190's version delivered everything I look for: a rich, deeply flavored broth with a satisfying level of spice and plenty of tender beef throughout. It's the kind of soup that keeps me coming back. This last visit, I finally got to try their pork and kimchi platter. The pork itself was tender and enjoyable, but I wasn't a fan of the cabbage. Instead of being lightly pickled with salt, it had been fermented to the point where it resembled white kimchi. I've actually never seen it made like this before. I definitely prefer the fresher, crisper flavor profile to pair with the pork and radish, so this preparation didn't quite work. Service was efficient, and the meal arrived quickly. On any other day, it's usually a 5 star visit, but the bossam preparation was a huge miss for me. While prices have crept up over the years, Tang 190 still does what it does best: serving comforting, no-frills Korean food that consistently hits the spot.

After being seated, it took us some time…read moreto organize and place our order because there were many people in our party and we ordered several dishes. I have always really liked this restaurant, which is why today's experience was especially disappointing. Unfortunately, what happened today was truly awful. From the beginning, our server appeared visibly impatient. When we repeated a couple of dish names to make sure the order was correct, she began speaking to us in an unnecessarily loud and irritated tone. Her voice was loud enough that another employee noticed the situation and offered to take over the order. Instead of accepting the help professionally, our server responded that the other employee would not be able to understand what she had written in Korean. When the other employee later asked her to repeat our order, she read it back very loudly and with obvious anger. The entire restaurant could hear her, and the experience made our whole family feel embarrassed and extremely uncomfortable, especially since we had children with us. Later, she seemed to realize that her behavior had affected us. She brought us a noodle dish "on the house" and briefly said sorry. While we appreciated the gesture, it did not undo the way we were treated in front of the entire restaurant. My question is: if you knew your behavior required an apology afterward, why treat customers that way in the first place? Customers should not be made to feel like an inconvenience simply because they are dining with a larger group or placing a larger order. We came to enjoy a family meal, not to be spoken to with hostility and publicly embarrassed. Unfortunately, this experience completely overshadowed the food.
