    Kimchi Wang Mandoo
    Shelly H.

    Important note: This is not the Yuchun you may be thinking of from Koreatown LA. Do not expect the same food or service. Yuchun in Buena Park is essentially a Korean food court-style restaurant, the kind you'd typically find inside a Korean plaza. It's not a sit-down restaurant with premium dishes, so it's best to come in with the right expectations. Honestly, if it had a different name, I think it would do much better -- the name sets the bar much higher than what's actually offered here. The setup is standard food court style: order at the counter, take a beeper, wait for it to ring, and return your tray when you're done. So far, we've tried the Chic Bibim Naeng Myun and the Kimchi Wang Mandu. Both were fine -- nothing mind-blowing, but solid for a quick meal. I'd come back if I needed something fast before or after shopping at H Mart. Food comes out quickly, the inside is clean, and there's even a Coway water dispenser with hot and cold water, which is a nice touch. Overall, decent for what it is -- just make sure you know what you're walking into.

    Self serve. Hits the spot -- would recommend their naengmyeon. Very friendly and fast service. Hope they get more business.

    Yukaejang Soup

    This is my favorite Korean hidden gem. Iv been coming here since around 2021 and they never disappoint. The customer service is excellent and if you love spicy food they will make it EXTRA spicy per your request. I only order the Yukgaejang soup because it's my favorite Korean soup and after all these years I never change my order. I appreciate the relaxed atmosphere as well. I was able to enjoy my food peacefully. Definitely try this spot out if you're looking for top quality Korean food.

    Review 27/365 challenge 1st timer here for lunch on a Friday afternoon with my mama friend 3.14.25 She's been here a lot of times and recommended it. Was gonna go to Sup Noodles originally next door. How did i ever miss this restaurant. Come to this plaza often especially to SUP Noodles, Piak Noodles & 85 degrees which is located next to it. What we ordered Dolpan bibimbab $ 19.49 Came in a stone pot, How i like my bibambap served. Full of veggies and beef along with rice. The banchans that is served with was diakon & regular Napa kimchi along w steamed bean sprouts Banchan. Highly recommended. Service was fast and received food in a timely manner. You go and order the food & pay 1st. You're given a buzzer to retrieve your food when it's ready. When you're done w your dishes. You bring back the tray along w the bowls to a stainless steel 3 tier shelves next to the fridge with the can drinks/sodas. It's a standard size restaurant. Not too big with outdoor Patio for dining, Lots of parking available. Same plaza as Hmart supermarket.

    I mean talk about authentic delicious food! I wanted to get everything off the menu! The cold noodles were delicious and tasty! The dumplings were also delicious! The bulgogi was amazing! You order first and are given a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready! They have tables inside to sit at or you can sit in the common outside area. We decided to sit inside! After you are done, you bring your tray and dishes to the designated area. The bathroom was clean! The staff was friendly! I can't wait to come back!

    Galbi Combo with Mul Naengmyeon
    Jasmine L.

    Been wanting to come to Yuchun for a long time and their Naengmyeon lived up to the hype! The broths of both had great flavor and were so icy and refreshing! Each came with lots of veggies which gave great texture to the dishes!

    This place does not compare with LA location. Its very disappointing . No side dishes unless you order something other than cold noodles. No free soup like la location. The noodle was ok. The noodle soup was not good. Lots of msg. Its self serve. Do with what you will with this info. As for me, its a NO. Will not come back

    Great customer service and clean restaurant. Highly recommended. Good location and fast service

    David C.

    As others have said, this location does not compare to the one in K Town. To start, the free broth is served to you with your food and not self serve, which is fine, but it was undrinkable. Tasted like a cheap powdery version with little to no flavor. It was really what I was looking forward to, so terribly disappointed. That said, the other dishes we tried were pretty good. Cold noodles and galbi combo was pretty good. They were out of the tofu soup, so tried the spicy beef soup per the lady's recommendation. Soup was good, but the beef was not the shredded type I am used to. Was in small rectangular pieces and very tough. Service was very friendly, but we were the only ones there on a Monday evening around 6pm. Would I go back? Maybe if in the area, but not worth going out of your way IMO.

    Ask the Community - Yuchun

    Is this the same Yuchun from LA?

    Is it possible to get low salt dishes here? I have high blood pressure and so much of the korean food is delicious but too salty!

    Some of the dishes can be made with less salt and some of them don't have salt. It just depends on which dish you choose.

    Do they have the self service hot broth station?

    Yes

    Is this the same as the Yu Chun in LA?

    Yes

I can see why this is a popular dish especially when it's hot outside! I thought I was going to be tasting something that tasted cold and unfinished but it's extremely delicious. Very refreshing.

I wish we ordered two of these so that I didn't have to share lol. Service was great. Friendly and attentive. Refills happened without asking despite how busy the place was. Ambiance is nice for a family with kids. Parking lot is spacious too. Technically they have two parking lots (one is for the Bank but they have a sign saying we can park on that side).
