    Pork Katsu(돈까스)
    Aaron G.

    We have been coming here for years and I just realized we never left a review :( - better late than never! The food and service are always exceptional. We have tried most things on the menu and never left disappointed. Super friendly waitstaff. Highly recommended!

    Delicious food and amazing atmosphere! We also love to see Julie. Would recommend everyone to try out the place.

    Clean and dark Asian pub like interior. Good service. I recommend this restaurant for Jjahjhang and Jjamppomg (even has half & half available now) in Denver/Aurora. Strongly recommend the fried sweet potato but may be too much for one person, perfect to split for 2 people.

    Spicy Korean Fried Chicken(양념치킨) (check out that portion size)

    Plans with a friend brought me out to this neck of the woods in Aurora, and I suggested we use the opportunity to check out Yong Gung. Denver proper does not offer much in the line of non-bbq style Korean food, and I had been hunting for a place that served jajangmyeon. We ordered two dishes to share. I chose the Ga Ja Jang (drier version of jajangmyeon), and she chose the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken, which came with rice cakes and cabbage slaw/salad. As others have noted, the portions were certainly generous. The fried chicken in particular had massive pieces of chicken, and the slaw/salad was at least a heaping two cups of cabbage. (I did not find the chicken to be spicy at all though, so I took to shaking some gochugaru from a condiment caddy on it.) The Ga Ja Jang was nicely done and flavorful; the springy chewy noodles were the star of the dish, and I think with an extra side of those, you could easily stretch out an additional serving. It did feel like a lot of the Ga Ja Jang was onions, however, rather than zucchini or pork. All of that said, it was definitely an enjoyable and reasonably priced meal. I would love to check out the Jjamppong next time. If I lived closer, I would certainly be stopping by for takeout.

    Lunch with my friend. It's been a while since we were together. The server was sweet and attentive. She doesn't like soup but tried some of the jjam bong. She liked it. It's a nice dish after a cold snowy day. She decided on ra jo gi. That suited her. I'm glad to introduce my friends to local Asian businesses. Clean restaurant and restroom.

    There has been a good influx of Korean restaurants around Denver and a few jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) restaurants. Yong Gung is mainly known for their jjajangmyun and for good reason. The jjajangmyun I ordered is a new menu item that is spicy and contains seafood. It is easily for 2-3 people. I would highly recommend trying it out if you want a little bit of a different twist on jjajangmyun. The tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) was nice and crispy without too much batter. Make sure to ask for the sauce on the side so it doesn't get soggy! The service was great including the owner and waitress. The waitress was very attentive and made sure our waters were always full. The owner came by multiple times to ask if everything is ok and if we need anything else. Thanks! I'll make sure to come by again when I get my craving for jjajangmyun which will probably be soon!

    This place was decent. I'm really spoiled when it comes to Korean food because I grew up in an area with 100's of Korean restaurants. But this place was almost as good as stuff in my hometown. We tried jjajjang myun, tangsooyook and ddeokbogi

    Kkan Pung Shrimp
    Ed D.

    This place has such good food for a very economical price. Their servings are larger and they don't skimp on the meats/seafood. Service is super friendly and attentive. We went there for Saturday lunch. Nice and clean decor with light music playing so you can have a nice conversation. We ordered the kang pang shrimp, seafood udong, chicken fried rice, beef jap chae. The udon was delicious with big chunks of shrimp. The kang pang shrimp was sooo tasty with just the right amount of sweetness and crispiness. The chicken fried rice came with a side of beans with sauce that I've never tasted before and I've been to many Korean restaurants here and in South Korea itself. It was delicious! My friend thought everything tasted amazing as well!

    Noodle soup
    James M.

    Spicy seafood noodle soup had great flavor. Portion was enough for two meals since I had a delicious appetizer. Prompt service. Clean, nicely lit, furnished open restaurant. Excellent place to dine and unwind with a drink. Kyle is an excellent do all host, waiter, busboy, chef...owner!

    Corinne H.

    Portion sizes are huge here! The kkan pung shrimp is always a winner but we've actually never ordered anything that wasn't delicious! This is Korean/Chinese and while most of the dishes lean towards the Korean side there is definitely some Chinese flare added in. Service is great, they are always attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean, open space and always have ample seating for any sized group.

    Combo a

    I regret visiting this place after reading the reviews here. The Jajangmyeon was bland, and the sauce had absolutely no flavor--it tasted as if it had been rinsed in water. For the Jjamppong, I ordered the Level 4 spiciness, yet it wasn't even as spicy as instant ramen, and once again, the seasoning was completely flavorless. As for the Tangsuyuk, the batter was so strange that I actually thought I had been served fried calamari. It was an entirely different dish altogether. I am Korean. I suppose I came here with my expectations set far too high. I am truly disappointed.All the ingredients were chopped into tiny pieces. I do not recommend this place.

    Chicken Katsu
    Liz C.

    This is a classic place in Aurora for some Korean-Chinese comfort food. It seemed like the go-to menu on the item was the Donkatsu (Pork and Chicken options). The staff are friendly, there is plenty of seating and parking, and the prices are reasonable. In terms of the taste, I think this place gets a 3/5 but considering how BIG their portions are, they definitely get an additional star. I would say that if you are ambitious, you can even save half of your dish for another meal or be super full for 1 meal. Overall, I would recommend this place for a big group of hungry friends!

    Jjam Bong Soup - I believe. . .
    Paola U.

    Had dinner here yesterday and was not disappointed. The server was friendly, sat us quickly and was extremely attentive. I drink lots of water and I never had to ask for more water. We got combo A that comes with black bean noodles, sweet and sour pork and a stew (that I don't remember the name of) the black bean noodles are my favorite here because they add soo much onion. Also ordered spicy rice cakes as a side/ app. I would say this was on the spicier side for someone who doesn't like spicy - I would not recommend. Almost forgot! They revamped their look and had a large projector with music videos. I enjoyed the vibes too ^_^ 5/5 because it is great value and always tasty. I would say the food here is always consistent.

From the second I walked in, service was impeccable, welcoming, and helpful. Staff went above and beyond to walk me to the restroom (as it was my first time dining here), out to my patio table, and quickly brought water. Everyone was dressed up for the occasion, chandeliers were lining the interior with a gorgeous and sophisticated look, and the music was a fun K-Pop/dance vibe. Our table of three started with the Buddha Button (essentially a lemon drop martini with Deep Eddy's and a special flower that invigorates your taste buds to create a literal "party in your mouth"). Anything cold adds to the buzzing, vibrating energy; pair the flower with a cold cocktail and it's a phenomenal experience! We also had a bottle of white wine - it was to be expected: tasty. We tried the crab rangoons and thought they were a fun snack, although $21 for four rangoons was tough. I could've gone to Panda Express and gotten four for $3.99 and called it a day. Christine and I both had the Miso Sea Bass - easily the crowd favorite. Even though it was light, it was very flavorful with the sauce, mushrooms, and rice included in the meal. It was mostly filling, though charging $64 for that as the main entree is quite a big stretch. The crowd winner was our server, Maddie. She had amazing recommendations, a full understanding of the menu, and was very attentive and personable. Overall, fun experience! The price for the quantity of food makes it a dubious chance of returning, but A+ for the staff!

I came with a few friends and it was a fun experience to try. You start off by ordering with the waitress and then the subsequent rounds, you order off the QR code that's at the table. The restaurant was pretty busy so we had to wait longer than we wanted to place an order. As far as the food, it felt more like baos and dumplings, not so much the classic dim sum styled foods. Another con was that the menu had so many non available items-items that would have completed the dim sum experience a little better. If you want actual dim sum, go somewhere else. It was fun for the experience and value, so I was glad we came once.

I wanted something super quick and yet something of quality (as I was headed my way to my side hustle later in the afternoon.) Asuka Ramen and Poke, all of a sudden, hit me with a thought, "It's been a while since I last used them for a good poke bowl." In a way, it was an opportunity for me to appreciate it for the first time in a while so I did just that. They use a deep (large) bowl for the Build Your Own poke bowl (this is the only size) for to-go. When I asked for "half and half" for the base (white rice and greens), the young man behind the ordering counter generously pressed the white sushi rice into it. He then placed some green leaves on one side of it. "Looking good" I thought. For the protein, I chose salmon, tuna and yellowtail. For the rest (such as sauce etc.) I don't quite remember what I got me and yet, this young man sure wasn't anything close to "stingy" (lol)! As to show his appreciation for my business, he built my bowl with precision and generosity. I like the fact that they have one size for to-go poke bowl (this simplifies the process on their end and our end.) At the flat rate of $16 (unless you get additional protein which is $3) is also reasonable for the size. I got the impression that this is a business that they simply don't operate for profit; they operate for the social responsibility's sake. And of course, this above-and-beyond young man didn't fail to forget to ask me if I would need utensils or drink. He gave me everything I would need. Once I got to my job site, I parked my car in the parking lot and started devouring my beautifully tailored (to my preferences) bowl. The fresh ingredients, the way it was built, and the overall volume of it, it was impossible for me to find a single reason why this was one of the best poke bowls I've had in the recent few months. That was when I came to appreciate how lucky I am to live just up the street from this tiny and yet mighty poke place. I need to visit this place more going forward.
