Sad flavorless food. Texture less noodles and raw veggies. No umph go somewhere else.

I had the beef and broccoli with rice & Korean spicy fried chicken (Yangnyeom Dak) with slaw. I didn't like how the slaw had thousand island sauce that tasted store bought. The chicken was too sweet (sweeter than the average sweet Korean fried chicken) but I liked the sticky texture of the sauce. I was surprised by how big, clean & spacious the restaurant was. It was empty when I came on a Monday night but it got busy around 7PM. The beef and broccoli dish was slightly bitter due to the charred remains of the wok from perhaps another dish (I'm unsure). The portion size for the chicken was larger than I expected and was fair for the beef and rice dish. Side dishes (banchan-they come free and you can refill them) that came with the chicken included yellow pickled radish (danmuji), spicy pickled cabbage (kim chi) and a salty black bean sauce (chunjang I think). Service was great and fast. My dishes came out faster than I expected. I would definitely like to come back here again and try their noodle dishes and spicy rice cake (Tteokbokki). read more

I usually come here whenever i am craving Korean/Chinese food. As a note: come hungry and come with others. We usually end up sharing a bunch of items and stuff ourselves (since the portions are so big). They have really good options and everything that i have tried has been so good. Here are a few items: -The dongkatsu is HUGE and comes with two sauce options (curry and dongkatsu sauce). - jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) + jjambbong (spicy noodle soup) are on par. I love having these two together to balance out the two dishes. - jjajang ddukbokki (black bean sauce + rice cake dish) - this has a good heat to it and is also very huge. It comes with ramen noodles in the dish as well. Very filling (lots of carbs :D) read more

They have chik naeng myun on the summer menu! Exactly what I wanted for this hot summer day. Chik naeng myun is black arrowroot noodles (thin, chewy) served in an ice cold, savory, vinegary broth, topped with sliced cucumber, pickled daikon, hard boiled egg, some chili paste, and sesame seeds. Usually has cold sliced brisket in it too but this version is chicken. It's a love it or hate it dish because cold noodles are weird and the texture of the noodle is weird for newbies to this dish. But I'm so happy I've found it here! The fried dumplings are also very good. read more

Yong gung - chik naeng myun! ice cold noodle soup - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

New management, new cooks, new recipes, new servers, complete and utter failure. This restaurant was my favorite in Colorado when it came to eating jjajangmyun (black bean noodles), jampong (spicy seafood noodle soup), and tangsooyook (sweet and sour fried beef or pork). The food was delicious, the servers were polite and friendly and they couldn't wait to help you with your next request. Now? The new cooks have no idea what they are doing, the servers disappear after they give you your initial order, and the place has become run down and dirty. Spend your lunch and dinner else where folks. read more

So good!! Food was delicious and affordable ordered about 5 different plates and it was ready in 15 minutes!

Food: I ordered seafood jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup), jjajangmyun (black bean noodles), and spicy Korean friend chicken. Portions were great (more than enough to share). I'm from Atlanta, where there are ALOT of Korean restaurants, and I'd say this place's food is very comparable and delicious. Only choices in Colorado for Korean Chinese food are P&Y cafe and Yong Gung, and I would definitely choose Yong Gung over anywhere else. Very delicious, legit place for jjampong and jjajangmyun. Price isn't too bad honestly. I would go again Service: very friendly, fast, good service Setting: decently quiet and it's very clean in the inside I'd definitely go back there again. read more

The staff here are nice and friendly. A+ Food is served fast and hot. A+ The jajang-meyong is pretty good here. A BUT the Canpungkee is NOT good. Do not order get something else. Its just spicy and does not have good flavor or even texture. Never getting that again. This place gives off a bunsik feel. I would come back and try it again. read more

Probably the only resturant that serves good black bean noodles in the Denver area. The spicy rice cake is flavorful and filling. They load it up with veggies and fish cakes so the portion is big. During the summer they serve korean shaved ice. The resturant is clean and the spacious so you never feel overcrowded. The service is friendly and they give good and honest recommendations according to your preference. read more

Where to begin. The waiter I had could not answer a very basic set of questions. I asked how big one of their noodle bowls were. Now at most restaurants the waiter or waitress shows you with their hands a rough size of the bowl when you ask this. This guy said "uhhh..." Then pointed to a table where the patrons had small bowls and said "it's that size. So not too big". Keep in mind I'm the only guy eating at my table. The bowl comes out and it's big enough to serve six people maybe seven. Not only did he lie about it being "not too big" but he also couldn't answer a question I brought up about the kind of noodle. I asked "what kind of noodle is used in this?" To which he replied "they all use the same noodle". Young man, I did not ask if they were all the same, I asked WHAT KIND OF NOODLE is in this dish. Additionally I asked if they have beer. They don't serve alcohol but that's a minor disappointment at most. But when I asked for a soda it was brought out not from a fountain served cup, but with a cup and a can. I don't ask for any waiter to be smiley and bubbly although many waiters practice their skill with service to that extent. I get it, you're paid minimum wage, you don't enjoy this. But did I feel welcome in this business? No absolutely not. The female hostess that greeted me was friendly and warm. The kid who served me in his twenties...did not make me feel welcome in the slightest. Aside from being garbage at presenting the menu to me with the questions I asked he didn't smile once, and rolled his eyes when coming to my table as if it were an inconvenience to him. Lastly, this pathetic excuse for a waiter, when I paid with cash had the nerve to ask me if I wanted change. As if implying he deserved a tip. My total was $24.76. A massive charge for what I thought would be a noodle soup for one person but instead could've fed a whole family. As well as some chicken dish that didn't even come with rice. I asked for rice and it came out in a very tiny bowl. After paying with thirty dollars and him assuming he deserved to keep my change he returned with my $5.24. I'm not sure why I left him $1.24. I feel like he didn't deserve the 24 cents either. That wasn't the worst waiter experience I've had but it was down there with the level of outright incompetence. I'm not sure if he tried to scam me with the size of the noodle bowl by telling me it wasn't "too big" or if he was just outright incompetent in the position of the most basic customer service skills. Mind you, I'm the only guy sitting at my table, so one would assume I'm interested in a noodle bowl for myself. I'm 5'8 and weigh 168 pounds. I don't look like an overweight guy, and I clearly don't look like someone who would eat a family size bowl of noodle soup. My advice to this business, fire this guy. Not sure if he's family you're trying to help out or if he was actually someone you believed was qualified to work with customers but it's obvious he is garbage in that role. I've had better service at a McDonald's in the ghetto than I've had with this guy so that's saying something. He may have better fortune working drive-thru there. On a positive note, I did like the atmosphere of the place. Clean, well organized. The menu was colorful and well put together, save for the fact that the summer stuff was still in there. But all around not a bad environment and setting. The food was also quite delicious. The lack of rice coming out to accompany my chicken was strange to me but I did like the food. It was very tasty. Just had trash for a waiter. read more

Really good price!! Awesome food!! Friendly stuff!! Cute interior. I think everyone will enjoy here for a quick visit. It only took 5 minutes to get our 3 dishes after we ordered! Will come back! read more

Food was good before, but now they have been skimping on the portion and fills jjamppong with veggies. Cost to much of subpar food.

My boyfriend has been craving for jajang myan for a long time so we came here. The combo special turned out to be great! There was a lot of noodles. The jajang myoan can be more salty and the spicy seafood noodle soup was pretty spicy but tasty. Very good value for money. And the place is clean and not very noisy which is great read more

Hadn't been here in a while. Used to have pretty good black noodles - Jajang Myon. Terrible. Paid extra for seafood, one order had very little, the take out order had none and they gave us different noodles. Won't be back read more

This restaurant was recommended by a friend with Korean roots. So my wife and I took our 81 year old Korean friend there for dinner. He had the noodles with black bean sauce. He said it was the best version of this dish he's had in the US in 47 years. I had my favorite Korean dish, which is jambong and it was also very good. My wife ordered a vegetable dish with seafood and rice and she was also satisfied. There were two waitresses. The one we had was charismatic, funny, and friendly. We liked her a lot. The other waitress who didn't serve us seemed more serious. The restaurant was clean, as was its bathroom. We had a good experience and will return for sure to try all their dishes. read more

Friendly service and the staff explained things to me when I had questions s about the menu or how I was supposed to eat something. The menu was diverse and had a nice way a separating the various dishes by their classification, also almost every items bar the appetizers had a photo of what it looked like. The portions were generous and affordable, I've been here twice and see no reason to stop visiting. read more

As far as jajangmyun (jajiangmyn? ja jiang myun? ja jang myun? jajangmyeon?) or jjamppong goes, you'll be hard pressed to find a better place than this in this state. For those who don't know, jajangmyun is noodles with a salty black bean sauce mixed with little pieces of pork belly, and jjamppong is a spicy noodle soup with seafood. The portions are REALLY big, and even as a self-described FATSO I have a hard time finishing my food! The atmosphere is extremely clean and and welcoming, despite what it might look like from the outside. I also had the tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) dish which was also not too bad. Their spread of side dishes isn't necessarily to die for, but hey, you get side dishes! All in all, the prices are fair, the portions are large, and the setting is clean! It's slim pickings out here for Korean-Chinese food, and this one is the best I've had out here! read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very comfortable and clean. The food was great and filled with flavor & the staff was very attentive and friendly. I Definitely would come back, if ever in the area! read more

Yong gung - Japchae, a sweet and savory dish of stir-fried glass noodles, vegetables, and beef. - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I've discussed this before but I feel like I need to revisit the concept of a Korean-Chinese restaurant because I think it is a unusual concept. You know, really I don't know what a Korean-Chinese restaurant is or why they call it that, I just know that if I have a craving for jajang-meyong or any other popular noodle dish from my heritage, I go to a Korean-Chinese restaurant. I had some jajang-meyong and it was pretty good. Basically some noodles with a black bean sauce, much like a bolognese except a black bean flavor instead of tomato. In addition to jajang-meyong (its a pain typing that word out) they also have chap chae which is a clear vermicelli noodle flavored with sesame oil and soy sauce and with a vegetable medley. So if your in A town in the Korean strip of Havana, give some exotic noodles a try. read more

Probably the worst experience in dining in many years. Never have written a bad review but this one deserves it. Went there to celebrate with my grown kids my wife's birthday. The reviews were positive. So here it goes. 1. Tried to make reservations but they couldn't really understand me too well. Finally they said they would have a table for 10 ready. We arrived to see a long plain table with plastic type school chairs. Ok no big deal. 2. We usually all drink water with lemon. When asked for our drink order we ordered water with lemon. Was told "we don't have lemons". Hmm, well ok...just bring water. 3. Decided to order appetizers first and we did. Later they came for our meal orders. We decided to order several dishes and pass them around to share. 4. They brought out a couple of meals (before ever getting the appetizers which came about mid-way through the meal). I asked if they would bring us some plates to share..they did...dinner roll size plates! Well, ok...I guess. 5. Then I asked if they would mind bringing some forks. They did. They brought a handful and just put them in a pile on the table. Well, I am pretty forgiving but that was totally unprofessional. 6. A couple of the dishes were ok...a couple...yuk. Two of our party were feeling stomach discomfort shortly after the meal. 7. So, after all the poor service, they automatically tacked on a 20% tip. Now, I tip 20% often, but not with horrible service. So, this may be the only bad review....but it completely the truth of our experience. Everyone of our party agreed this was the worst experience in dining they had experienced in a long time. read more

Love this place. We travel to Colorado to skiing every Christmas holiday from New Jersey and make it a point to stop here - the food and staff are that good! I wish I had one back home that was this good! read more

Food is always delicious! My favorites are the chicken Katsu and the fried chicken :)

We had just spent the day in the mountains at Estes Park hiking. You deal with warm, cold, snow, to hot, your body craves something of hot, comfort goodness. Since we were driving through Denver anyways, we decided to look for some spicy noodle soup place that's not pho. This place wasn't too bad. The interior was cold and a bit empty however the service was great and friendly. We ordered a set menu to share and it was more than enough for the two of us. My husband liked the jjambbong more than the jjajjangmyun which is rare. We'd come back. I think this place is great for a group gathering as well. It's large enough. read more

The name literally means "king of the sea palace". The Jam Bong, seafood is some of the best we've had, anywhere. Jajang myeon is extraordinary as is the Tan Su Yuk -beef. The is a gem of a restaraunt. Everything prepared fresh and properly cooked. Perhaps the best Korean Chinese restaurants between the atlantic and pacific. read more

Worst place ever. We went there because we ate too much turkey yesterday and the family wanted to eat chinese food. We used yelp to find this place since it's close in proximity to where we live. I would rate the food a 2 from a scale to 1-10. The service I rate it at 1. It was horrible! They kept opening the front door because they said they wanted to let the bad smell out. Our nephew and daughter we're freezing. They ended up messing up our order too. And we were left with so much leftovers. I had to ask 5 times to give us to-go bags and plastic bags. Worst place I ever been to so far. read more

Go here for a nice korean fix. The prices are okay, for take out. Portions seems a little smaller

All new staff and seems to be under a new management. However, the food is as good as it used to be and the service has imported exponentially. I def recommend you try this place it out. Try out there combo as it's a great value!!! read more

Their jajangmyeon is so delicious beyond words. Other item also not bad at all! Been coming here so many times.

4 STARS for their jambong (spicy seafood noodle soup) alone. It's the only thing I"ve had here and I just can't tear myself away from it to try anything else. It's hearty, flavorful, and huge. Great bang for your buck. Packs serious spicyness (the kind where if you inhale wrong, your eyes water and your chest feels like it's on fire), but also amazing flavor at the same time. Noodles are nice and chewy (and soften up a little as they sit in the soup). Contains shrimp, mussels, squid, pork. I never finish the soup in noodle soup dishes when I eat out, but this one - THIS ONE - I will. In fact, I always pack it up to take home and finish. SO GOOD. read more

There are limited places you can get Korean Chinese food in Colorado but out of the few, I think this place is the best. My favorites are the jjajangmyun and jjambong. Whenever I'm craving noodles, I head straight here. Their combos are good too. They have different options but my go to is the jjajjangmyun, jjambong, and tansuyuk option. read more

Lost in the (jiajiang) sauce!!! Walked in to celebrate my 18th looking for authentic noodles and immediately knew this place poppin when I saw all the eastern homies eatin good. Our slurps will not be contained .The dishes are great and very affordable for the portions. I mean 2 people can cash out on 3 dishes for $25 and leave with a full stomach and their bank account intact. What's more impressive is the great condition of the tables. They not just aesthetically pleasing, but provide plenty of room for numerous bowls. This is vital since I know we all ate somewhere before and struggle to keep the plates on the table or eat comfortably, especially us lefties. Just to prove the authenticity of the food, they even gots the soft, small grained rice. That good ish and none of that fake takeout stuck in your teeth/gums rice. read more

You know the place has to be authentic when out of 12 tables over the Friday noon hour, only one (mine) was not filled with Korean customers. I saw multiple tables with 3 generations, from grandparents to babies, sitting down to happily enjoy a delicious meal. From the looks of it, the jia jiang myeon (noodles with black bean sauce), don katsu (breaded and fried pork cutlets served with curry sauce), and the spicy seafood noodle soup are their most popular signature dishes. There is even a combination special that you can order with full sized servings of these 3 dishes for $23, which is an awesome deal! I know everyone raves over the black bean noodle dish but for me it wasn't that special. The noodles do definitely have that nice chewy bite to them, but the black bean sauce with onions over top was a bit bland for my taste. Perhaps if the sauce contained meat and was spicier, like the Chinese version of the same named dish, I would have enjoyed it more. Or maybe I was just expecting the Chinese version; whatever the reason, while it wasn't bad, I would skip it on future visits. But the don katsu...OMG...it was the best!!! 3 huge pieces came on this gigantic platter, complete with a sweet savory curry sauce, white rice, and salad...SO GOOD! I love that curry sauce and would happily slurp a bowlful of it by itself. Yum! Finally, the seafood noodle dish is also great. A nice assortment of seafood in the bowl, including shrimp, squid, and mussels. I believe there were also some chunks of chicken in there. The broth is nicely spiced without being overly salty. My family of 5 ordered 5 dishes and the total only came to $44 and change, including tax. We could not finish all the food and ended up taking enough leftovers home that will suffice for 3 additional lunch portions. Service was very fast and attentive in the beginning when we arrived at 11:30a because we were the only ones in the restaurant but within half an hour, the place got very busy. Understandably, the waiter was busy attending to other customers and we sat around probably an extra 15 minutes waiting for our check and take out containers, but that was fine since we weren't in any rush. I saw some people go up to the cash register directly to pay to expedite the process. Despite the wait and simple service, I've got to give this place 5 stars based on the food alone. I wish there was a place like this close to where I live! read more

This place is the Bomb! I had one of the best orange chicken dishes here. Food is terrific and so is the service. Great I will be back.
