Nice restaurant with friendly staff. This spot is the absolute best tasting Korean Black Bean Noodles in the area! They have a couple of sizes to choose from. Their Korean Sweet and Sour pork is also very delicious! read more

My last review from 2 years ago still stands as is, I'm simply here to check in and report back that, it is in fact still just as good if not better? How better you ask? The salt and pepper squid was DELECTABLE on this visit. The second it enters your mouth, it makes you smile. Our entire party could not stop talking about how buttery, rich, and perfect it was!! Now in full transparency, their fried rice and black bean noodles fell a little short for me this visit. They were still good but you'll find better at other nearby Korean Chinese restaurants in Rowland such a New Garden. Ambiance hasn't changed, it's still busy, lively, loud, with tons of servers zipping to and from every table. Friendly reminder that there is parking behind the restaurant! read more

Saw this place on my searches and have been wanting to try it cuz was looking for a close Chinese Korean restaurant. Came on a sat around noon during peak lunch time. The parking lot is pretty small with spaces behind the building as well. We got lucky cuz got seated right away but people behind us had to wait. We ordered jja jiang myun (black bean noodles), kung pao chicken, and the kang poong shrimp (spicy garlic shrimp?). The shrimp was so crispy and the sauce was so good. It's hard to find a place where this dish is good so I was really happy. The noodles were also really good. Big portion so my bf and I shared. The kung pao chicken was good but it needed more flavor. I like my food with strong bold flavors and this dish lacked that. I would love to come back and try some of the other dishes like the sweet n sour pork. At the end they gave us the sugared sweet potatoes which was a treat. Haven't had that in a long time so brought back childhood memories. read more

Worth every mile of the drive! Yong Moon Lu has officially become our go-to spot for Korean Chinese food. We ordered quite a bit and everything hit -- nothing disappointed. Loved that the sauces for the sweet and sour pork and shrimp came on the side, which is exactly how it should be. The black bean noodles were delicious, just keep in mind the noodles are thicker and chewier than what you might be used to -- personally, we loved the texture. Service was fast and attentive from start to finish. This place absolutely lives up to the hype. Ambiance was great! Must visit! read more

A bit pricier than I anticipated but the food was great and services were good. The sweet and sour pork was EXPENSIVEEEEE but tastes very standard. I do like the noodles they use for the black bean noodles since it's a bit ticker and chewier (kinda like udon!) read more

The food here is delicious! The sweet and sour shrimp had a light fluffy batter with sauce on the side, and the spicy seafood noodle soup had plenty of veggies and seafood. At the end they give you a glazed Korean sweet potato for free which is nice :) there's also plenty of seating inside with some private rooms as well. good news is the food rocks, bad news is the parking doesn't :( I need to come back and try some other items on the menu read more

SO good. Run, don't walk there. And also prepare to wait. We ordered the set menu for 8-10 adults and it was too much food for 8 adults. But it was SO good, and the variety we got to try was delightful. We were in a private room because of how big our party was, and the rest of the restaurant had the chaotic energy of a typical Korean-Chinese restaurant. An absolute delight. So excited to go back and try other items! (And get more of the same) read more

A couple of friends recommended Korean-Chinese food for lunch, and this place was a great choice! We arrived around 12:30 PM on a Wednesday and were able to grab parking spots right in front, though I can imagine parking being difficult during peak lunch or dinner hours. It felt like a cozy, classic restaurant. It was getting busy when we walked in and filled up soon after we were seated. Service was efficient that we were able to order and get our food pretty quickly. They offer weekday lunch specials from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, which was a great deal to let us try everything. We split two combo meals among the group: sweet and sour pork with jajangmyeon, and fried shrimp with jjampong, plus an order of shrimp toast to start. - The shrimp toast reminded me of something you would get at dim sum. It was nicely crispy and dense. I highly recommend dipping it in the mustard to help cut through the oiliness. - Both combo meals were generous and satisfying. The jajangmyeon was one of the best I've had. There was no lingering aftertaste from the sauce, a decent portion size for lunch, and the noodles had the perfect texture without being overly chewy. The sweet and sour pork was thinly sliced with a nice crispy batter. It was slightly dry, but the sweet sauce balanced it out well and added flavor. - The jjampong was loaded with fresh seafood. The broth had a mild flavor base with a pleasant kick of spice that was not too overwhelming. The fried shrimp were jumbo, crispy, and paired perfectly with the tangy sauce. We were so full by the end of our meal, and we had plenty of leftovers. It was a little pricey, but worth it for the quality and portion sizes. Can't wait for my next meal here! read more

Stopped by here on a Sunday evening and it was busy..we had a party of 6 and luckily the wait wasnt too bad. The customer service was great- everyone was really nice and attentive. We ordered a variety of things. The sweet and sour fish was my favorite. It was crispy and the sauce came on the side which kept it from getting soggy. The food was all really good. It is a little pricey but the portion are a good size. read more

I have been here a few times since the holidays looking for dishes with sea cucumber. All dishes come with complimentary hot tea, fresh cut onions w black bean sauce, pickled daikon radish, and if you ask, some very fermented kimchi and a small bowl of rice. - Always pour vinegar over your onions, daikon radish and kimchi - Sounds strange but it works Service is very prompt and they get you everything you need. Seafood combo with huge seafood, and unusually large bamboo slices, a touch of shitake and just a few pieces of sea cucumber. $47. - It is a huge platter, could be shared by 4 people - Seafood such as scallops, shrimp, mussels, cross-hatched squid are all pretty large in size - A touch of bokchoy greens mixed in Then came in for lunch, and had the #4 combo which has pork slices, seafood, sliced sea cucumber (more than the full sized $47 dish). Very tasty. It's like a half portion but very satisfying. $27 - It also comes with a choice of either jiajang myun (black bean noodles) or jjampong (seafood noodles). - I chose seafood with no noodles (they kind of overloaded it with cabbage and a few pcs of seafood but very tasty still) Then a more recent visity, it was MLK day (a holiday) so no lunch specials. I had to order the full size of the #4, as an entree it's #2 under seafood. - Very very good - There was so much left over I took it home and had 2 more meals from it The authenticness of of these dishes is incredible. This place comes the closest to my childhood memories of going out as a family for Korean Chinese. Seriously the chef knows what he is doing! It is quite busy all the time, so try to go in off peak hours. Lunchtime menu is Mon - Fri 11:30am - 2:30pm. Highly recommend! read more

I love this place! Hands down the best Jiangjianmen I've had. It's honestly become my go-to spot whenever I'm craving it. The service is always great and the ambiance is super chill and welcoming. We also got the shrimp toast, and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend adding that to your order! I also tried the sour pork. The flavor was good, but it was a little dry for my preference. Still, everything else was so solid that it didn't take away from the overall experience. I'll definitely be coming back again! read more

This is hands down the best Korean/Chinese food I've eaten. It reminds me of when I was visiting Korea! Their flavors are spot on and portions are perfect sized. Also very fairly priced compared to other restaurants. I entered a flow state when eating this food because it was just that amazing. The staff is pretty nice and serve pretty quickly. The ambiance is pretty nice as well. Gives a nostalgic type of vibe. If you have this spot saved, you should already just come and try it ‍! read more

I have had this spot bookmarked for months but haven't had a chance to try it out until recently! I've definitely been missing out over the years!! My boyfriend and I decided to share: fried shrimp toast, mongolian beef, and jjajangmyeon. We were blown away by how flavorful everything tasted! The star of the show for both of us was definitely the fried shrimp toast.. crunchy, delicious, and paired well with the sauces (sweet and sour+ spicy mustard). We definitely felt like the portions were very generous and were not able to finish it all. Mongolian beef was seasoned well, slightly sweet (to me) which was surprising but in a good way. Bonus points that rice was included with the entree at no additional cost. Jjajangmyeon hit the spot for me.. the noodles were bouncy and the sauce was savory. As a server, I was truly impressed by the service. The smallest details left an impressionable good dining experience as a first time customer. The workers were friendly and maintained their smiles while engaging with everyone. Our server particular knew the appropriate amount to check up, without being bothersome and not once did we have to ask for additional items; multiple servers just knew what we would need and just dropped everything off to us (extra bowls to share, scissors, napkins). What I appreciate the most was after receiving the check and paying, one of the servers helped pack our food for to go.. the smallest gesture was much appreciated. One important note to mention is that there is ample parking located in the back, but despite having a Corolla, parking spaces felt really cramped with a full parking lot. read more

Great place for Korean Chinese food! Got the jjajangmyun and the jjampong and both were delicious and at such great prices! They give a little free appetizer with yello radish, which was nice to have in between bites of the noodles. Service was fast and they also give some caramelized potatoes at the end! read more

Atlanta has the best Chinese-Korean in the world, no contest. But if you live elsewhere in the Korean diaspora or in Korea itself, you might think you have best. In southern California, Yong Moon Lu is the best example of what you can find (or used to) in Atlanta. The hwagyos who run this place still speak Mandarin and Korean. They have all the classics and are confident because they know how good they are. These are timeless Chinese-Korean dishes with no modern twists because they understand that good is good forever. The quality of the fried offerings bring me back to my childhood and the swiftness of the service is something you just can't find nowadays. Seriously, start a timer after you order. This place is packed for a reason. I highly respect places that nail a dish or cuisine and just refuse to change. May Yong Moon Lu be around for 100 years. Frozen in time is the whole point. read more

Their Korean-chinese food is the best in town for sure. This is my goto place for jjajangmyun. One downside is that they are always busy, and one of the servers kept convincing me to order something i dont want.

You have to eat the food freshly hot at the restaurant. I've gotten takeout from here multiple times, which was good but eating it at the restaurant is next level! Every time I come here, I am reminded and impressed with how good the food is. Make sure to come with a big party because then you can try multiple different dishes! On our most recent visit, my husband ordered orange chicken and I have to admit I was judging him for this choice. Boy was I wrong because this was one of the best orange chicken dishes I've ever had. It came out piping hot and the way it was glazed/crisped up reminded me of General Tso's chicken with an orange chicken flavor. Our whole party thoroughly and unexpectedly liked this dish. 5/5 We had two other fried dishes and both were freaking good. They definitely have the balance of breading to meat portions down. The tangsuyook and the kkanpung shrimp did not disappoint. Both 5/5 We of course ordered jjajangmyeon and jjamppong since we can't go to a Korean Chinese place without ordering these staple dishes. Both were delicious. The jjamppong had the perfect amount of noodles, vegetables, and seafood! Another favorite dish here is yangjangpi. This has a nice light freshness compared to the other dishes we normally get that are on the heavier end. The portions are huge and the quality of the ingredients are great. We had a much more expensive dinner the night prior at an Izakaya for a birthday celebration and the group agreed that this meal the very next day was way better for less than half the price! Service here is strong. They serve you quickly and check in often. The ambiance is also super family friendly with tables that spin so you can share all the dishes family style. Highly recommend! read more

My favorite Chinese Korean restaurant!!! This place is definitely family owned and you can feel how family oriented this is! The servers are super friendly and they speak both mandarin and Korean! Their dishes are all such good portions that you always leave with extras to go home with. We got so much food to take home because of the serving sizes which was nice. We got the gal jajangmyeon, jjampong, tangsuyuk, fried shrimp, and sizzling rice soup. Everything was seasoned perfectly and not overly salty. It felt like no MSG was added which is important for me when it comes to go Asian food. read more

I was visiting my parents and my dad has been here before and said it was really good, so we decided to come here for dinner. Got seated around 7pm on a Wednesday and there were maybe about 4 other tables, but by the time we were finished, the place was pretty much packed. It's good to see this place is doing well, I remember when it was a Shakey's pizza and then they went through a bunch of different Asian restaurants which all couldn't make it. Anyway, we got one jjajangmyeon, one combination chow mein, one pork fried rice, and one spicy garlic eggplant. My parents are pretty particular about good Chinese food, and they liked the food a lot. Food was really flavorful and you can tell they cooked it in a really hot wok or pan to really get that nice, deep flavor. Total was around $90 including tip, so it's not cheap. However, portion sizes are decent. Staff seems to be a mix of Koreans and Chinese and they were all friendly. They also give you some yellow radish and onion side dish and a sweet potato type dessert. A lot of tables were ordering some kind of fried dish, I think it was the sweet and sour pork. Think we will try that next time we come here. read more

Service is always great. Greeted at the door, seated right away, order taken within minutes. Food comes out very quickly and is so delicious. I had never tried jjajangmyeon before but once I did i was hooked. The flavor and noodles are great. Combine that with the sweet and sour pork: fire! Portions are generous. They also serve side of pickled radish and onions, and hot tea. At the end of the meal you get candied sweet potato. I'll be coming back again :). read more

This is one of my sister's favorite restaurant. Figured I must try it at least once to see why. Came here on a Friday night and it was kinda busy. We ordered Sweet and sour pork & black bean noodle.

Why drive to koreatown in LA when you got perfect korean food here in the 626? Yong Moon Lu was bustling when my friend and I arrived for dinner. If there's anything you have to try here, it's the fried pork for me. I have bad experience with fried pork and the sweet and sour sauce from different locations, but this spot hits diffferent. I also tried the white jjamppong and it was quite tasty. Noodles were bouncy and you can actually taste the seafood. Parking was a little compact. but they have more in the back side lot. read more

Was in the area and wanted some jjajangmyeon and jjampong. Their parking can be a challenge with tight parking spaces. We came around 5:30pm so there was no wait but there were already several tables occupied. Staff was friendly and quick with providing menus, tea, and taking our orders. The jjampong ($15) and jjajangmyeon ($13) were such big bowls that the three of us struggled to finish. - jjampong was really spicy for us so be careful there. There were pieces of squid and shrimp. Broth was mostly just the taste of spice so wouldn't recommend. (3/5) - jjajangmyeon was really good and tasted authentic, chewy noodles and the sauce has onions and zucchini. (5/5) read more

Korean-Chinese food. I wasn't even aware this was a category, but it makes total sense since the two countries share a border. I go here with coworkers for lunch and have been pleasantly surprised each visit. The service is efficient and the food is very good. I love that they sauce the sweet & sour pork on the side, so the juicy pieces of pork are always crispy. Black bean noodles are done Korean style very well, and there's plenty of sauce left to season your white rice. Rice noodle stir fry is solid. Vegetables cooked well. This is a great option if you're interested in something little different. Parking lot can get tight. read more

Tried this place for the first time this past weekend and was very impressed by their Jjamppong! The spicy broth had a strong seafood flavor, and the bowl itself came with a LOT of noodles, vegetables, and seafood (squid, octopus, shrimp). I ordered a small size ($12), and I thought it was very filling and worth the price! You get complimentary onions, radish, and fresh tea as well. The Jjajangmyeon was also pretty good! It was a little bit on the saltier side for me though. I also tried the Fried Dumpling, but I would say that item is skippable. Nothing special and I wish it came with a thick dipping sauce of some sort. The staff are extremely kind and food comes out very quick (around 5-7 minutes). I was seated right away upon entering, and it's very spacious inside. Parking is convenient since they have a large lot. Would definitely come back to try their other items! read more

Amazing customer service and delicious food to back it up. The parking lot is pretty quaint and the interior is very warm and vibrant. Went here for Sunday lunch and the place wasn't entirely packed. We got the fried pork, fried shrimp, Mongolian beef, and the jjajangmyeon. Everything was delicious but the fried pork and fried shrimp stole the show for sure. A lot of people recommended the fried pork because of how crispy it is. They purposely put the sauce on the side so you can enjoy the crispiness of the pork and the sweet/tangy sauce. The weekday lunch menu looks amazing and I can't wait to take advantage of that! read more

Was in the mood for noodles and decided to try (again) Yong Moon Lu as the last time I was here was under old management. To my surprise, they were packed for lunch on a Thursday which is a good sign. I wanted to try the Korean sweet & sour pork and if you come for lunch, they have lunch specials so you can get the sweet & sour pork with your choice of noodles. We ordered lunch special #2 with the sweet & sour pork + ja-jiang mien (smaller bowl than the regular size) and a standard sized bowl of the Jjampong (seafood spicy noodles). These are probably the top three dishes based on what everyone else was ordering at lunch. The sweet & sour pork didn't taste how I thought it would from the pics but it was good. You definitely need to eat it with the sauce though. The ja-jiang mien sauce was good and like most Korean style ja-jiang mien (compared to a more Chinese version) it has little to no meat in it so be warned if you were expecting more protein. Check out my pics. read more

Yong Moon Liu hits all the right notes when it comes to Korean-Chinese cuisine. They delivered all the classic dishes with high quality. The 자장면 (Jajangmyeon) was spot on--thick, chewy (쫄깃쫄깃 ) noodles coated in that rich, savory black bean sauce. 짬뽕 (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup) got depth, heat, and a generous mix of seafood. The 탕수육 (Sweet and Sour Pork) was crispy with just enough chew. I know some like to pour the sauce over but I actually like getting a bowl for the sauce and dip the pork in the sauce instead. 깐풍새우 (Spicy Garlic Fried Shrimp) was a crowd favorite... at least it was my favorite. I could just eat it without sauce. 마파두부 (Mapo Tofu) was great with rice too. Just a note, If you were expecting traditional Chinese version with the numbing spiciness or the Japanese style that's sweeter, then you may not find this version to stand out. But I think this version is good in its own way. Everything came out hot and well-seasoned. There's a lot of private room so I think it's a great restaurant to have large parties. I wouldn't be surprised if people celebrate the first birthday (돌) party here. Service was efficient and low-key. Most importantly, all the portions were generous. We've been back twice and can't wait to return again when I'm craving that comforting, familiar Korean-Chinese flavor. read more

We didn't even make a dent and we were able to split the rest to take home. They have a nice selection of items, from noodles and rice to meat and seafood.
