I revisited this place after a long time. They serve Korean-style Jjamppong in a huge bowl. Since it's inside HanNam Chain Market, there's not much atmosphere to mention, but the food quality is just as good as other places, and the prices are about $5-6 cheaper. The other Korean-style Chinese dishes are also delicious. It's a perfect spot to grab a bite after shopping at the market when you're feeling a bit hungry. read more

Lee Mangu Noodles - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

This spot is located inside the grocery store and it's pretty famous for its jjamppong (spicy seafood noodles). It is located inside of the food court and you order at the counter and they give you a buzzer when your food is ready. It's fairly quick for your food to come out and perfect to stop by after you go grocery shopping or even going just to enjoy a relaxed meal. Their tangsooyook (fried pork) is extremely crispy and probably one of the best in town. read more

Super kind, top-notch service. Delicious black bean noodles! 10/10 On the two occasions I visited this restaurant, I experienced stellar customer service. The food is amazing as other reviewers have mentioned, but what has truly won me over as a patron are the people behind the counter. I had read some reviews mentioning poor service, but the servers were consistently friendly and helpful each time. One time, I mistakenly ordered one order instead of two. I made the second order and prepared to wait the same amount of time, but they made sure it came out to me right away. They didn't have to, but they did it anyway. It really made me feel valued. I will definitely be back to support them and try more dishes! read more

Came in at 730 pm and tried to order but was told they close at 730 and didn't take my order. Please update your hours if you close earlier than the posted hours on yelp read more

Don't order takeout here. The portion size is very different from the dine-in menu. If you eat here, it's satisfying, but takeout portions are much smaller. read more

WHEN: 11/19/21 @ 1pm on Saturday This small restaurant is located inside the Hannam Korean grocery store. It's located inside the food court which has a few other shops as well as a large shared eating area. When we arrived the market and food court was filled with Koreans eating and shopping. Everyone from grandpas to employees were eating together! I also noticed that most people were eating either the Jjamppong or the black bean noodle from this noodle store. I got the Jjamppong ($11) for two people and the portion is huge! It's served in a huge bowl FILLED with so much seafood. The noodles were amazing... chewy, flavorful, and dense! The flavor of the soup is everything you can ask for in a spicy seafood noodle. I'm so glad I came here because I just found my new favorite Korean noodle spot. I'll definitely be back to try the black bean noodle! read more

Been coming here for years and years. Used to be able to share on jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk set but now the portion is tiny. Ill still come back but ill ask for gobbaeki next time (extra portions) read more

So my friend who highly recommended this place is on our black list now. Probably should have trusted my gut feeling upon arriving... long story short, we decided to stop after 3 or 4 regretful bites and went to another restaurant. Definitely not on par with what was advertised as we've immediately made up our mind to boycott any/all place(s) that "particular" friend recommends. read more

I love their jjambbong (spicy seafood noodle) and their black bean noodle. The thing with their tangsooyook (sweet and sour pork) is that it doesnt stay crispy long when you get it togo. BUT its perfect when you heat it up on a pan! So pls do that. The hot and sour shrimp (ggamboong saewoo) has thicker batter than most other places. Its a little different than most Ive had but its just as enjoyable. One day I might try something different than these 4 dishes here. But until then, these are the staple. Inside the food court of hannam chain market. read more

Walking through Hannam Chain Super 1 Mart, meandering through the market aisles packed with Korean food, products and countless goodies, you will come to the back where the food court stands tucked away, but the smell of real good food of the motherland emanates from the many small restaurant kitchens. One such restaurant stands out more among the others and that is Lee Mangu Noodles. I had the pleasure of enjoying the Jjamppong (Spicy Korean-Chinese Seafood Noodle Soup) and I couldn't have enough. Perfect choice for a cold wintry SoCal day. This hefty bowl of soup beautifully and satisfyingly mixes shrimp, clams, mussels, squid, an array of vegetables and fresh noodles all bathing in a delicious, spicy and rich broth. After all the messy slurping, with soup drippings left on your chin to your clothes to the table, you are left feeling full, but not heavy. You feel warm and comfy inside. There are plenty more dishes on my list for the next time I am here. I really recommend this hidden Korean delight. read more

This restaurant is inside the food court of the Korean super market. Came during lunch and the wait wasn't bad at all, minus the fact that the parking lot was lit! Ordered the combo of jajangmyun and tangsooyook. It came out in about ten minutes. Overall I really liked the taste and flavor, it wasn't bland and had good flavor. I wouldn't say it's the best jajangmyun I've had but it was good enough. read more

Lee Mangu Noodles - The jajangmyun and tangsooyook combo - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

I know there are so many korean style jajangmyun places around here. It's my second visit experience at Mangu boodles. Noodles was not bad. I ordered black bean noodle and spicy noodle. It was just soso. However, korean pork was truly bad. It was the worst one ever in my life. It was dry and cold... You could visit paik noodle for black bean noodle and fried pork. Tangsuyuk I will never be back read more

Lee Mangu Noodles - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

Love their jjajang and Jjamppong. It's our go to place. It's not your typical restaurant vibe but the food is on point!!!

the portion sizes are ginormous and the jambong has a mountain of seafood in a ginormous bowl. food taste and quantity- cant beat it- its gotta be a solid 5 stars, minimum four stars. the tangsoo yook is made with rice flour batter, so its crispy and chewy- sooo good! so why the one star? the one star is for the food and the price. im not sure if its the employee or the owner there- but she left a terrible taste in my mouth. she has lighter brown dyed long hair-just fyi- if you order from her make sure you have her confirm your order. we got there early, since it wasnt open yet we decided to wait. after waiting 15 minutes for the store to open, we ordered the combo- jambong and tangsooyook. food came out and she had given us the wrong order- slightly annoying but no big deal. but this lady- her attitude shocked me. when i told her the order was incorrect, i had assumed she would maybe apologize and say something to the effect of im sorry, let me get you the correct order- apologies for the wait. pretty simple, no hard feelings- done. right? instead when i told her the order was incorrect, she looked at me and said, YOU told ME you wanted JAMBONG? no, you said jjajangmyun. i was a bit taken back because her tone went up two octaves, and her volume increased by a few notches, and if i wasnt dumbfounded i could have sworn they be fighting words. its a simple mistake, it happens, but i dont take well to a worked up emotional tone infused in the incorrectly placed blaming for the mistake- that being her almost getting worked up to the point of yelling. i told her no, i never eat jajangmyun- that ive never ordered it in my life, and that i had unmistakenly ordered the jambong. i would never make the mistake of ordering jajamgmyun. i can go on about this, because at this point after i had told her this, the cycle continued with her voice consistently rising a few notches everytime she accused me of ordering it incorrectly. i got annoyed by this time and i began getting frustrated at this point of telling her over five times i didnt order incorrectly. she finally put the order in after a five minute back and forth, and when i went back to get my food, she told me i had to pay more. typically i wouldnt mind, but at this point it was basically icing on the frustration cake. so i sat w my food, took two bites and threw everything away because the food just wouldnt go down after that spiel. what a f-inf waste of time and money not to mention leaving there in a freaking foul mood. if that lady wasnt there id give five, maybe four and a half stars for the jambong and tangsooyuk. since shes there they get a whopping one. thats being nice. if youre there, shouldnt be a problem so long as you make sure that lady with the light brown long hair repeats and confirms your order so she doesnt get it wrong and decide to tear you a new one saying you messed up the order. terrible terrible service from that lady. extremely unprofessional for someone working in a service industry. hope that helps read more

Disappointed with Jja Jang Myun for its taste and portion size. Tang su yuk was ok too but also didn't have much portion. I suddenly realized that this place is just another place that gives small portion for matching cheaper price and poor quality. I'm gonna give another shot with ordering jjambong next time. This place is supposed to be better at jjambong, and the portion looked better when I saw others ordering em. Definitely nono on jjajangmyun, esp super no on combo. read more

Lee Mangu Noodles - Menu 5/15/22 - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

I've tried a lot of jjajangmyun places and think this place was one of the best I've had!! I had my doubts going in but honestly the noodles are cooked to perfection, not soggy. The black bean sauce flavor is not too bold or bland, just perfect! Their jjampong's flavor is also very deep and not watered down. They include a very generous portion of seafood and the bowl is literally SOOO huge- can definitely share this amongst two people. The pork was delicious as well - not tough or hard! read more

Lee Mangu Noodles - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

Their phone number is +1 (714) 228-0300. The one listed here (on yelp) goes to the market! We got food to go, and their noodles were cooked perfectly! We got a jjajjangmyun and jjampong. Both were good! Their black bean sauce is pretty delicious! Personally, I think their jjampong is better than paik's noodles. But each to their own. :) They answered the phone quickly and kindly and the food was ready to go in 5 minutes. read more

I ordered jjajang and tang soo yuk combo. An owner/cashier said, "that menu is only for here and we currently serve only for to go due to covids". What a lame excuse? All you have to do is pack in a container. I will not patronize such arrogant business!i read more

My toddler was hangry after I picked her up from daycare. We were originally going to pick up some onigiri at handmade rice ball and bowl, but they were closed for construction so we decided to get the next best thing, jjajangmyun! I ordered yetnal jjajang togo for my daughter and she loved it. She couldn't finish the whole thing so my husband had her leftovers and said it was really good! Will be coming back soon to try their other dishes as well. It's inside the food court inside hannam chain. I'm not a fan of eating there (it's cold and dingy) so this is more of a take out place for me. read more

My parents claim that this is the BEST place for JjaJangMyun!! They are discriminatory eaters who had been taking me to K-Town for the BEST JjaJangMyun since the 70s!!! Initially, my dad bought one bowl and after one bite, my mom said, "Go buy another bowl!!". LOL!! I had to check it out...especially after watching the K-Drama "Wok of Love" and salivating every time someone slurped up some JjaJangMyun noodles!!! The verdict?? It's pretty good...better than anything in the OC or K-Town proper! I ordered the regular JjaJangMyun, but my dad insisted that I needed to get the featured "Mangu" JjaJangMyun and immediately went back to the cashier to change the order. I loved that all of the ingredients were diced finely...which means that there is a lot of attention to detail. There also wasn't any fatty useless chunks of pork, which is sometimes an unwelcome bonus when digging into a bowl of JjaJangMyun. The sauce was really good too...but for me, it could have used a pinch more of salt. My daughters loved it. One devoured the entire bowl before we were halfway done. She's a picky eater and it was a "thumbs up" for her!!! We also got the TangSuYuk. It was ok. They made it fresh and served the sauce separately so that we could either dip each piece or pour it all over the crispy pork pieces at our discretion. We poured it all over the top, of course! At most Korean-Chinese restaurants, they have soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper flakes on every table. I wish that I could have had access to those ingredients so that I could make my customary dipping sauce for the TangSuYuk, Mandoo, and anything else fried. It's awesome and I missed it. Why only 4 stars? It was really good, but it didn't blow my mind. I think that the flavor of the JjaJangMyun from my past has seared such an impression on my mind that nothing can live up to it. Nostalgia can be a really high and unattainable standard sometimes. Also, this place is located in the food court at the Super 1 Mart Hannam Chain market in Buena Park. Seating is REALLY hard during the lunch hour. There are several rows of long tables put together and you have to fight for table space. Since you're elbow to elbow with the person next to you, it's a little uncomfortable and warm. The A/C is also very weak in the food court. In short, this is where I would come if I had a craving for JjaJangMyun. The quest for the best JjaJangMyun is over. This is as good as it gets. It's not in K-Town at the previously popular Korean-Chinese restaurants in years past and it's definitely not in Garden Grove. The area has already been scoured and has unfortunately come up short. Bon appetit!! read more

The jjahm-bbong is the best here. The soup is very flavorful and spicy with just enough heat. I haven't eaten anything else here and only eat the spicy seafood noodle soup. The noodles are the perfect amount of chewy, there's plenty of seafood in the soup as well. I enjoy my experience every time. I'm curious about the 1-star reviews. It is funny how these yelp reviews work sometimes. People will give poor reviews because they weren't given enough napkins or they had to wait too long for their order. Obviously, they are people who have never worked in the food industry. Because if you have, you'd know that s*it happens all the time and people get super petty about the stupidest things. read more

Small fast food style setup. You may eat at outside patio. Food was ok and had many choice.

Good Jjampong and Jjajangmyun and decent dishes. Their prices are excellent. I sometimes ask not to cook noodles and boil at home so it doesn't get mushy. read more

Very good price and jjampong is the best in the orange county. The cashier lady is very nice.

Probably the best jjajang in town. They are just too slow. I waited 30 mins for my jjajang. Which Chinese restaurant in the history of the world, takes 30 mins for the food to come out?!?!? read more

i ordered jambbom because my child doesn't eat jja jang myn. so i ordered jjam bbom. i never ordered jja jang myun. but it was my mistake i didnt check my recipe.. so i told cashier i ordered jjam bbong. she said no you are ordered jja jang myun. she never said sorry to me she keep saying u ordered jja jang myun. so my daughter doesn't want to jja jang myun we have to order one more jjam bbong. they keep saying your mistake.. they dont asking me change it.. the food was at counter when i ask change it. i didn't touch yet. but they keep saying your mistake and doesn't change it. so i have to re order it . read more

Sorely disappointed in this place my family would eat from here often. Recently placed a to-go order and went to go pick it up by the time I got there my sweet and sour pork was already cold and dried out didn't realize it until after I got home and opened it up and also the sauce wasn't what it was taste wise. The only good thing is the noodles order them uncooked and cook them at home it definitely makes them perfect and fresh to eat right from the start and you don't have to worry about them sticking together or getting cold by the time you're home. read more

After restaurant increase menu price by $1 everything, it feels like I probably not want a eat out anymore. It's getting so pricey. Hurting consumers a lot and time to save monies for eat at home like easy shin ramyun. read more

This is a hidden gem inside the Hannam Korean market food court. They are famous for their black bean noodles and jjambong. I've visited on February 14 and the black bean noodles Jja Jang myun was excellent. Normally the noodles are very starchy and stick together but today they were washed properly and was delicious read more
