My first time here! I was greeted immediately and sat down. The server was very welcoming and answered all of my questions. I ordered Sam Sun Gan Ja Jang. Loved it! The noodles were perfectly cooked and the pork was tender. The sauce was sweet with vegetables in it. It wasn't spicy, but tasty. The restaurant was very bright and clean! It wasn't busy, but after I arrived more people came in including families. Lot's of Korean dishes to choose from. They offer many appetizers and a great selection of Soju! They offered many varieties of Soju and soda. I chose hot green tea. I liked the way the menu was set up and had pictures of each dish. Everything looked good. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and especially families because you can share, nice portion size. I will be back to try other dishes. Everything is cooked to order, so it comes out piping hot! Looking forward to bringing some friends with me! read more

Yong gung - Sam Sun Gan Ja Jang - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I've been going to this place for Korean/Chinese food since I was a kid! It has always been reliable and I've liked the food. While it isn't the best Korean-Chinese food I've had ever, it's still pretty good. My friends and I enjoyed it and talked about how we would definitely come back. For three people, we got one of the combos and had a few leftovers. Worth the price and the service was nice. I asked for extra sweet and sour sauce on the side to dip our pork in and the lady was super kind and kept checking in on us. There's nothing special about the ambiance about the restaurant. The only downside of this place is how busy the parking lot can get, especially during dinner time. It can be hard to find parking, so just be prepare for that. read more

Looking for a specific restaurant for Jajangmyeon and this place keeps popping up. P&Y Cafe was closing for the day and I needed to make a stop at M-Mart... so Yong Gung it is. The portions are huge, glad we shared a bowl of Ganjajang and medium sized Tang Su Yuk (Sweet & Sour Pork) for the 2 of us. The food was delicious and the portions are huge, I wish the pork was a little bit crispier before sauced but overall the food was yummy, portion size awesome and the service was amazing too. I'll def be back for other dishes to try, sounds like crab rangoon is a must try. read more

Hands down THE place to go for Korean Chinese food. We've tried jajangmeon many other places in town, but this is by far the best. This is also the only place we've found kkan pung shrimp done the right way and MAN, THEY DO IT RIGHT! My four year old asks to drive across town to eat here all the time. We took our Korean family from Cali here for lunch and even they were impressed. They eat in LA's KTown regularly and said the food was really good. Highly recommended. Come here. Get the two dishes mentioned above. You won't be sorry. read more

First of all I have to say I am kicking myself for not trying this place sooner! The food was FANTASTIC. We honestly didn't have a single thing that wasn't tasty and we ordered a lot to try it all out. The pork Katsu was perfectly breaded and crispy and paired beautifully with the cabbage salad that it was served with. We also ordered the Jajangmyeon and I could eat that everyday if I could! It had a thick sauce that coated the noodles in a lusciously rich, porky, black bean goodness I also recommend the Tteok-bokki here. Honestly the best spicy rice cake I have yet to find in Colorado! It was a perfect balance of spicy and sweet while still having a kick unlike most Tteok-bokki found in other restaurants in town. So if you like it spicy and find most people to make it far too sweet I suggest you try it out. And another taste bud show stopper is the Jam Bong Seafood Soup. The flavor profile was complex, full of umami and overall mouthwatering. As for the service our waitress was super speedy and on top of it! Never had to ask for a refill or a straw or anything she was 3 steps ahead of us the entire time. I highly recommend this establishment, the food is phenomenal, the service is speedy and the ambiance is cozy while still being trendy but not overly flashy. 10/10 would recommend read more

Nice little Korean spot! According to my boyfriend, one of their main focuses is the black bean noodles. They do a really great job with them! I really enjoy those noodles. Their service is also quick and the space is very casual. I love coming here when I'm specifically craving those noodles! I tried my boyfriend's jjampong and that was delicious as well! read more

짬뽕 was good...decent flavor. Would have liked to try 간짜장면 but wasn't with anyone to order it. 새우깡 봉 was awesome and the 떡볶이 was alright. Surprised they had zero 반찬 not even 김치. read more

Nothing wrong with this place for their black bean noodles (짜장면), and their spicy seafood noodle (짬뽕) is very tasty. However, their sweet and sour pork (탕수육) is a mess here. Should have taken a picture, but wasn't too impressed with the presentation to even bother. The fruits and veggies that were on top of it seemed a little too old, especially the pineapples as they looked super dried out. We proceeded to eat anyway, and immediately knew the pork wasn't fresh. It was hard and chewy, and def had that old pork taste. My gf was immediately put off by it and didn't eat more of it. I was hungry and their sauce was good, so I ate a little more than she did. Well, we both got sick from it few hours later, me with the worse stomach ache. The two stars is from their main Korean-Chinese noodle dishes as they tasted fine. As for their sweet and sour pork, I'm sure they had an off day but I wouldn't risk getting it again. read more

Tried out Yong Gung as we were craving Korean food. The young man that waited on us was very very sweet and efficient. Food was very good, loved the fried chicken and liked the tteokbokki more than the jajjangmyeon. Will definitely come back to try other dishes as well. read more

So amazing! Try everything! We loved everything we ate and loved eating off each other's plates as well!

It took me a while to find my favorite jjajangmyeon spot but I'm glad it did! Portions are big and packed with flavor. The sauce has a good mix of onions, black beans and pork. I've been ordering take out since COVID19 happened and they never disappoint. I also enjoy their sweet and sour pork as it was the first fish I have ordered from them. I like how they separate the sauce from the deep fried pork because it prevents the pork from getting soft and soggy and you get a good crispy bite; I wish more places did this with take out! I highly recommend if you're in the area and craving some good jjajangmyeon. read more

// Summary A solid Korean restaurant that seems to serve a solid jajangmyeon, jampong, and tangsuyuk amongst other things - a rare find in the area! // Meal Experience I came here and ordered the jajangmyeon because I'm on a mission to find the best non-KBBQ food for whenever I have my various Korean food cravings. Yong Gung might have won the battle. Sure, it's maybe not the same quality that you may find in LA or the Bay Area, but sometimes beggars can't be choosers, and Yong Gung's jajangmyeon is more than sufficient to fill my needs. I need to try the tangsuyuk - so I'll be back for sure. // Service Service was pretty good overall. Order was taken and food brought out in a timely manner. // Ambiance It's a pretty large restaurant with plenty of indoor seating, no outdoor seating. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the interior that detracts or enhances your experience. // Convenience It's in a plaza with a parking lot, but that lot seems to fill up a bit as there's a bunch of other establishments there. You should be able to find a spot. read more

We came in on a random Tuesday night and had the best experience! Our server was super sweet and accommodating, and the vibes were great even for an empty restaurant. And the food! Wow. We ordered the combo B thinking we would easily split everything and we were laughably correct. The katsu platter was MASSIVE (and so tasty -- I was skeptical getting katsu here but would totally get again. The salad was even delicious), as were the jjambong and jjajangmyun. We ate (and drank soju) until we literally thought we'd explode -- and there are still plenty of leftovers in the fridge! I'd say we found one of our staples in Aurora. read more

Love their black bean noodles here, every time I go here that is what I order! You guys have to try it!

Glad we found this place. Ja-jang-myun and fried chicken tasted awesome ! Good background music. Clean and bright. Will be back for sure read more

The service here was fast and very personable, I was really pleased with how fast, but courteous the entire crew was. With so many options it was hard to pick what dish I wanted to try, so I went with my tried and true: combination fried rice. I always go with something simple to start out with, but this fried rice was the best I ever had, and it's going to be really hard not ordering it again when I come in again. Thank you Yong Gung for being my go-to spot for my Korean-Chinese food cravings! read more

This place was a gem! Went here to get some Jambong and Jajangmyeon due to craving it. This place did not disappoint and everything was so delicious and the portion was generous! The price was also reasonable! We ended up getting a combination deal where it came with the two dishes alongside Sweet and Sour Pork! Not to say, there were also two side dishes that came along with the meals. The portion was big enough to share among three people and the price was about $30! Definitely will come back here when I'm back in Colorado! read more

Excellent lo main. Service is very friendly and only locals go there. Their side dishes are good. Great ambience, super clean. Definitely better than the restaurant next door ( pho 75). Highly recommended. read more

1.5 gen. Korean review - Haven't been to Yong Gung for about a year and tried it again today. I can only speak to the Jjambong. Spicy seafood soup. Which is my favorite and try as I might I can't seem to order anything else. It was very very good. A rich fiery red broth, slightly smoky, and piping hot. Exactly as it should be. They have alcohol now... Hallelujah!! Soji, Korean beer and domestic beer. New owner is very nice and quite young. As is the Korean music and updated decor. Menu is exactly the same and the prices seem to have dropped a couple bucks on a few items. Maybe not can't remember exactly. I love it and will be coming back. read more

This place is delicious. They food has a great taste without being too over bearing or high in MSG. Every dish I've tried so far has been spot on. Will be visiting here regularly. read more

I go there every time I have a jjajjangmyun craving. Huge portions, even for their lunch special. The noodles are cooked perfectly, slightly chewy, and their sauce is great. The quality of pork is hit or miss; sometimes solid meat chunks and sometimes just chunks of fat. Kimchi is meh; I prefer the onions and radish instead when having Chinese/korean food anyway. Clean. Fast, friendly service. Note: closed on Wednesdays!! read more

If you are non-korean, here are few tips on how to deal with Korean restaurants or Korean/Chinese restaurant as this case 1: dont feel left out. You are welcomed as much as any other paying customers. They might prefer you since you wouldn't be so demanding. Haha. jk 2: if they dont see you after few minutes of standing arpund, flag them down. You don't need special words. 3: if you are not sure, ask the sever. Treat it kinda like pho restaurants. Most pho restaurants will never bring you the bill unless you ask for it. All else fails, walk up to the cashier. 4. These types of restaurants (noodle house catering to Koreans) usually serves condiments consisting of kimchee, pickled yellow diakon, sliced onions and jajang sauce base. If you want to look like local, put some vinegar all over the diakon and onions. If you need more, just ask. Flag them down! * lastly, dont be shy and ask. I did! P.s. on my recent visit, asked for beef ttangsooyuk (sweet and sour beef?) at $4 up charge. Wow. read more

After running some errands in this part of Town, in which like 2 other establishment was CLOSED on Sunday, I decide to bring Hubs here for Dinner. The parking outside can be a little of a nightmare, especially when a few doors down... this establishment shared to that FAMOUS Korean BBQ. This recent visit was on SUNDAY May 19th 2013. Time was about 18:40hrs ish. Well, thankfully when we arrived at this establishment, we were seated promptly. I knew by instant, that it was like that OLD Korean restaurant which I have reviewed many moons ago, and it which that "KFC" aka "SPICY" Korean Fried Chicken ran away with it... This establishment is owned by a Korean but they also offer Korean and Chinese Dishes... From the Server recommendations, he said, this establishment is known for their Black Bean and Spicy Soup and also the Fried Rice. Well in general a lot of Koreans who go to this establishment would order those items... From the simple menu that they offer, here were the items we ordered that evening : * Vegetable Egg Roll *A1 ($6.95) * Fried Rice With Crab Meat - Arros Frit-Crab *R1 ($8.95) * Deep Fried Chicken In Hot Pepper Sauce - Canpungkee-Pollo *P4 ($14.95) - Hubs Order Hubs opt for Coke Cola ($1.50) for his beverages while I just opt for water. While we were waiting for our order to be ready, our server provide us several Banchan something like Raw White Onions, Kimchi, Black Sauce and Pickled Radish. When our order arrived at our table, all came out piping HOT, meaning out from the Fryer, I like. The service was friendly, efficient and fast. When my order of Fried Rice came, it smelled good, but where is the CRAB?? I asked in my heart. But with the smell of HOT Fried Rice, smell slightly "CRABY" aka "Fishy" in slightly a good way, I guess. My Fried Rice comes with the Black Soybean Sauce and the Spicy Soup. I like the Spicy Soup that comes with the Fried Rice. With that Spicy Soup alone, I am NOW Intrigued by that Spicy Soup... coz our server recommends it. I am so awed when Hubs rate this establishment as 4 stars at best, and one of the Best Egg Roll he ever had. To me it was just FRIED SPRING ROLL filled with Julienned Carrots and Cabbage, if I could recall correctly. Hubs also like his order of Deep Fried Chicken in Hot Pepper Sauce, though he wish the dish could MORE SPICY. Our server offer us several spicy sauce from the Kitchen, but still it wasn't spicy enough for our taste bud. Well all in all, I rate this establishment 3.5 stars and definitely want to return when needed. The cost of our Dinner was $34.97 with tax. Left the establishment at 19:35hrs.

The portion was HUGE! And the prices were cheap. Very friendly service and quick. We were craving for korean chinese good while we were traveling in Denver. This place totally hit the spot. We had the jjajjangmyun (black bean sauce with noddle) and tang suyuk beef and the jjambomg (spicy seafood noddle soup) and it was so good. The jjajjangmyun was especially delicious. The noodles were cooked just right with some chewiness. It was even better than some of the ones I've had in NYC and NJ. And did I mention how big the portions were? We couldn't finish what we ordered. And for vegetarians, you can get the black bean sauce without meat! The only thing that wasn't so good was the tangsuyuk beef. It was over fried and hard. Overall it was a great yummy place for very cheap price. Definitely recommended read more

Yong gung - Seafood noodles and kfc - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

If you are craving for an authentic Korean-Chinese food, this is one of the places that i go to with my friends. Either i go with my Koreans friends or Chinese friends, almost all of my friends are satisfied with their food. If you don't have a Korean friend to go with you and give you recommendations on what would be good for you, don't hesitate to ask their staffs. Their staffs are very professional and kind. You might have to choose between two options: Jjajangmyun(black bean sauced noodle) or Jjambbong(spicy seafood mixed stew). I always go for their Jjajangmyun and Tangsooyuk(fried pork/beef with sweet sauce). If you are craving for something else, i also recommend their Don-Katsu(Pork katsu) and Yangnyum Chicken(deepfried Korean style chicken w/ sweet&chili sauce). Thesedays i usually to-go their food or get my food delivered through DoorDash. DoorDash also has a very good review of this restaurant so you might want to check them out for delivery too...! One star short because the last time i ordered for a delivery, rice was missing and Port Katsu was a bit too deep-fried. Other than that, i definitely recommend you to try them. read more

OMG, Spicy Korean Fried Chicken, come to my belly!!! I wish they would have (pickled radish as a side item for this chicken though. That would be 100%. But without it, I would still give about 95% yumminess. Loved gan jjajangmyun as well. Everything else was pretty good too. Items I've tried so far, Gan jjajangmyun, ggan poong saewoo, ggan poong chicken, tonkatsu and abovementioned items. The lady who answers the phone to take order's really nice and attentive. She doesn't talk much but she's friendly and everything you order ready within 10 minutes and fresh. read more
