Very clean and bright interior. We sat down, ordered, and both of us got our food relatively quickly. The noodles are pretty special. They're soft without being overly mushy, and in the jjampong and jajangmyeon they cling to the sauces and broth very well. read more

MyeongDong Ja Jang - Cold noodle, seafood pancake, fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Pleasanton, California

As a Korean, this place is legitimately great! And I love their weekday special that gives you that classic unami combo of Jjajangmyeon and the fried pork with sweet and sour sauce! I do love my veggies so I get the Gan jajang that has more cabbage, fried egg, and more onions. It's also thicker and less saucier than jjajjangmyeon. read more

I love jjajangmyeon, and I love how MyeongDong Ja Jang had a 1.5 size option! It was perfect to share between two people, it might even be enough for 3 also. The noodles were bouncy and had a perfect chew to them. The black bean sauce was very tasty. We also ordered the pork tangsuyuk. The pork was crispy but light and we enjoyed dunking them into the sweet and sour sauce. So tasty! The waitress and staff here are also very friendly and checked up on us often. read more

First time here, the service was very quick and attentive. Music playlist was a vibe (k-pop). I came with a party of 3, and we decided to order 3 dishes to share. All the food we got was very shareable. My favorite out of the 3 dishes was probably the seafood pancake. The people who were with me found that the jajang noodle to be the best. One did share that they thought the seafood pancake could have been a bit more crispier. overall, the food was good and we would come back again. Bonus points: the bathroom was very clean! and they have their wi-fi password as a QR code on the wall. read more

Enjoyed my 1st time here & customer service is great! The manager/owner? gave me a warm welcome & mentioned that the portion size was something that would satisfy him. In today's economy size & pricing has really hit businesses, but not MyeongDong Ja Jang. The Mon.-Thurs. lunch specials are really worth it, bc my daughter & I were happily satisfied w/1 order of the lunch special that included Jajang Noodles & Mini Sweet & Sour Pork for $20.95. The noodles had the perfect bounce & chewiness that was carefully cooked. While the Mini Sweet & Sour Pork must have been battered w/potato powder to give it that perfect crispy fried texture. Unlike Chinese Sweet & Sour sauce, Korean Sweet & Sour Sauce has a more natural tan color w/chunks of pineapple, black fungus & possibly another vegetable. This sauce really hit the spot for me bc it wasn't too sweet & no red coloring was added. I would definitely be back to support this business. read more

Food: Authentic and delicious noodles with a perfectly cooked, chewy texture. The black bean sauce was flavorful and generously portioned, complemented by chopped onions and a few pieces of pork that added good texture and taste. The pork is mostly fat, I was able to eat one piece. Service: Friendly and polite staff who checked on me several times throughout the meal, making sure everything was satisfactory. Ambience: A casual and lively atmosphere with Korean music videos playing on the TVs while American music played at a moderate volume throughout the restaurant. The mix created a fun and relaxed dining experience. read more

Real jajangmyeon in the Tri-Valley, and it delivers. Myeongdong Ja Jang is a small Korean place in the Stoneridge plaza, and the namesake jajangmyeon is the reason to come. The noodles were house-made, thick, chewy, and springy, coated in a glossy black bean sauce packed with diced pork and onion with 40-60% less gluten. Savory with a little smoke, not too sweet, not gloopy. The cucumber on top keeps it from getting heavy. I mixed everything together and finished the whole bowl. We also ordered the fishcake, which was a solid second plate and a good way to round out a meal for two. read more

Arrived around 12 PM Noon on a Saturday and luckily got the last table! Menus have all the Korean staples: seafood pancake, tteokbokki, KFC, kimchi fried rice, etc. We ordered the rabokki, jjajangmyeon, jjamppong, and tansuyuk. Jjajangmyeon - 5/5, really the star of the show. Chewy bouncy handmade noodles and a sauce that wasn't overpowering Jjamppong - 4.5/5, more on the mild side, same amazing handmade noodles. Lots of seafood inside. Tansuyuk - 4/5, generous portion, enough for 4 people to share, and the bites were crispy, not soggy. Sauce wasn't too sweet either. Rabokki - 3.5/5, decent but nothing special. Ramen was al dente, which I appreciated. Some more odeng would have been nice. Looks like they have happy hour and weekday specials--we'll definitely be back. The alcohol prices were fair, only $6 for a small beer bottle and $10 for a large bottle. read more

Amazing food, great service, and super clean location in the 99 Ranch plaza. Plenty of free parking. For 5 people, we ordered the jajangmyeon noodles (1.5 size), spicy pork, seafood pancake, and garlic fried chicken. All so delicious! If you don't feel like eating and spending a ton at a Korean BBQ AYCE, this is the place to go. Perfect portions at a very reasonable price. read more

After shopping at the Outlet, we decided to try this Korean restaurant just a short drive away. The place is very clean and has parking available in the complex. Service is also excellent and fast. Since it's our first time here, it took us a while to pick and choose the items we want from the menu. We ended up getting the chicken wings, tofu soup, and noodles with soft bread. The wings are crunchy and tender inside. The sauce has a nice flavor and is delicious. The Tofu soup is good and the portion is huge. It's good for a couple of people. We also liked the noodles. For a first timer, all the items we ordered were delicious. Once we come back, we will try other items on their menu. read more

Delicious !! I had saved this spot for a while after seeing it open, and finally got the chance to try it on a Friday night. There were a good amount of people inside but we were still able to get seated right away, and food came out quickly too! We got the garlic fried chicken, sweet and sour pork, jajangmyeon, and seafood jjampong to share amongst the 4 of us. This was the perfect amount of food, and everything was so yummy! We all loved the chicken wings as they were coated in a really savory sauce while somehow still remaining crispy. The seafood jjampong was also super flavorful and pretty spicy for mild level. Service was also really friendly and attentive. I also loved their danmuji! read more

Food: Never thought we'd be able to find such authentic Korean food here! Everything we ordered is good and definitely well seasoned as it should be like in Korea. We're a bit confused when we're ordering the spicy pork. They have 2 options on the menu, one with rice and one without. There wasn't further confirmation so we ended up getting one with rice but still works for us. Service: they are so warm and welcoming! Ambiance: it's a small restaurant but very clean and nice. read more

5 stars for the garlic fried chicken wings! -1 star because the fish cake soup had jalapeños last night .. why is it spicy?! Specifically ordered this for my toddler and she couldn't have any. Also .. it didn't come with any rice. I guess it's not technically an entree? But our wings were an "entree" and we didn't get rice either way so .. -1 another star because had we had no utensils in our to-go order .. hard to enjoy the delicious jjajjangmyun without chopsticks :( good thing the noodles are delicious - we'll definitely be back for those & the wings! Parking wasn't too bad considering how busy the plaza is & cashier was friendly but maybe too busy? She was fine taking our order but like I said, didn't include any utensils. read more

I've been really craving korean chinese food and this happened to be the closest one to us. We went on a Saturday night around 6pm. The restaurant was not too crowded so we were able to get a table. The restaurant itself was very clean and the workers were very nice and helpful. For two people we ordered the sweet and sour pork, Seafood jampong and jajang noodles (1.5 size). All the dishes were so good. I loved the texture on the noodles. They were very bouncy and had a nice chew. The sauce for the jajang was spot on. The sweet and sour pork was also very good. The pork stayed crispy and had lots of meat. The sauce was the perfect blend between sweet and sour. The raw onions also gave an extra touch. The jampong was not too spicy and had a great seafood flavor. All the seafood was cooked perfectly. I would definitely come back! :) read more

Huge portion (get the 1.5x jjajang) and perfect noodle! We also ordered tangsuyuk & jjangpong and total only cost ~$60 for 4 people with plenty of leftover, which is pretty rare these days (our bill averages ~$100 usually). They also do kimbap every Tuesday but we didn't get to try it. Will definitely be back again if I'm in the area. read more

Around the area of Livermore outlets, tucked in a small plaza, you can find this hidden gem. Driving around we wanted to eat food but nothing caught our eye since majority of the restaurants were only serving dim sum. We decided randomly to go to the only spot that didn't serve dim sum and OMG WHAT A TREAT! The food was absolutely amazing, from the depth of flavor in the soup, the heartiness of the fried rice, do the tender crunch of the fried pork. Everything paired in harmony and my love and I were so moved by all of the dishes. read more

We had the black bean noodles and the garlic fried chicken wings. It was super delicious and the portions were generous. The wings were piping hot and garlicky with a small kick to it. The noodles were nicely chewy and the sauce was savory and umami. Service was also wonderful. The nice lady checked on us often. We were seated within a few minutes and we had our baby in a stroller and there was enough space. I would come back. read more

The noodles are absolutely amazing! Great food and I can tell it was made with love. The noodles have a chewy texture that goes perfect with the jajang sauce when you order the kan jajang. The tangsooyook has a lot of meat to it, and it's not breaded heavily, and the sweet and sour sauce is great. The owner greeted us and made sure everything was good along our meal. Very attentive. This place is homey, not too loud, and you feel like you're at your dining table at home. read more

Noodles are crafted through a meticulous 48-hour aging process, resulting in a distinctly superior, pleasantly chewy texture. The jjajangmyeon and jjampong combo was outstanding, with each dish delivering layers of deep, well-developed flavor. The jjampong featured a generous assortment of freshly cooked seafood, including squid, mussels, shrimp, and octopus. The jjajangmyeon tasted authentic and leaned slightly sweet--likely from an abundance of slow-cooked onions--which I personally appreciated. Service was warm, friendly, and prompt, giving the place a sincere, mom-and-pop charm. read more

I had to try this Korean Restaurant along Pleasanton, when I saw the word Ja Jang it was already tempting. I only ordered two dishes which was their famous Ja Jang noodles and of course since I'm having Ja Jang I have to pair it with Sweet N Sour Pork, the way Korean eat the Ja Jang. Honestly I was impressed, Korean Sweet & Sour Pork are not similar to Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork, I love how crunchy and and the sauce are tangy with a hint of sweetness and the best part is the thickness of the sauce, it stay consistent it doesn't turn water like when the sauce is no longer hot which was amazing I took it home and still thick. Price is a little bit expensive but I think it's worth trying, Thumbs Up for this Korean Spot read more

"My wife and I arrived shortly before noon on 7/4/2026. We waited at the front counter for 30 seconds while the stone-faced owner ignored us. When we said it was a party of two, he reluctantly pointed us to a small table near the door. After we sat down, his unwelcoming attitude continued, so we immediately stood up and left. I don't know why he treats customers this way. Maybe business is too good and he just doesn't care anymore." read more
