    Yuchun is found inside the Hmart food court
    Laura H.

    Solid beef short ribs from Yuchun at the Hmart food court. The flavor reminded me of a more savory version of short ribs ordered at AYCE KBBQs, but it's slightly sweet and almost smoky. These ribs were very meaty, which I appreciated, but the hefty price tag is preventing me from getting them more often. However, it's definitely convenient; I don't have to purchase my own meat, then season and marinate it for a while, and then know how to properly cook it with the right equipment. Props to the cooks and chefs at this Hmart food court. Plenty of seating is available in the middle of the food court. If you have a shopping cart with you, you can park it in the designated area near the bathrooms. The gentleman taking orders at the front was straightforward but was overall helpful.

    I love their mulnaengmyun! It's pricey for what it is, but just take my money. Delicious broth, the spice on top is addictive, and it's always made to order and the perfect temp/chewiness of noodles. Service is pretty fast, friendly, ambience is just the grocery store food court, but the space is clean and spacious. A treat any time, but especially during the summer!

    Mul naengmyeon
    Michel P.

    Naengmyeon is decent. If you're expecting it to be like ktown, it is not the same. Overall felt the broth was muted, not as flavorful. Happy that it was pretty chilled but couldve been slightly colder. Service seemed dismissive. Gentlemen at the counter seemed more interested in ordering his food for protein gains with kitchen staff vs helping me first. Ktown location provides a few banchan while this one does not. Only tried the naengmyeon and im glad I did because the the kalbi price seemed a bit high. Overall, it was fine but I do not see myself returning to this location. Ambiance is a food hall fyi.

    Delicious bulgogi set and hot stone bibimbap with squid

    Their bulgogi set came with my new side dishes to try with rice. The hot stone bibimbap was delicious, too. Service was fast and friendly. I'd like to try their take on Galbitang on the next visit.

    LA Galbi (Beef Short Ribs) & Beef Bibimbap

    First time trying the food court at H-mart! There's several tasty looking options but we decided to give Yuchun a try. The employee was very friendly and offered us a cup of beef broth while we waited for our meals. We tried the short ribs and the beef bibimbap, and we both preferred the short ribs. The bibimbap needed a sauce, it was honestly kind of flavorless and dry. Whenever I've had bibimbap at other places there's a sauce in the rice or mixed into the dish, but this one didn't come with any. Came with a few sides as seen, however we were not a fan of the pho broth at all. I love pho but this one lacked depth and flavor. Presentation of the food was very nice. It definitely looks better than it tastes, but it was decent. However, for the price I wouldn't get it again.

    Seafood pancake
    Emily W.

    Solid cold noodle spot and typical Korean food. It's pricey but the portions are large. Seafood pancake was the thickest I've ever had. It was crisped up with potato? And served like cake slices. Really good though but warning it is a choking hazard with how crispy it is lol. Side dishes were good except the kimchi was so flavorless. My friend said that was unusual so maybe it was an off day. What I love is that they give this carafe of hot broth to sip on. It is so good and comforting. My friend and I did have stomach troubles about 30 mins after. We all had spicy cold noodles and the pancake. I think it may be something with the cold noodle that day? However willing to give it another try as the food is great.

    It's been so hot lately that I've been craving cold dishes like their spicy cold noodles. I came here originally to shop for ingredients at HMart, but then changed my mind and decided to grab some food at the eatery instead. I shared the spicy cold noodle combo, which came with a side of galbi and broth. After ordering, you'll grab a table, and an overall PA system calls out your number when your order is ready. The noodles were super refreshing, and came with cucumbers, meat, eggs, and radish. It wasn't too spicy, and had a vinegary taste to it. The meal was perfect for two people to share. I also liked that they offer to cut up the noodles to make it easier to eat since the noodles are the chewier kind. The dining area is pretty large, so even when it's busy, you'll still likely find a seat.

    Yuchun can be found inside the food court at H Mart Irvine WestPark. There are a good number of Korean food options within the food hall, but we decided on Yuchun and it was the right choice. I went with the Yuchun Signature Set which included a variety of banchan, rice, soup and bulgogi for $25.99. I paid an upcharge to substitute kalbi as my choice of protein and it did not disappoint. Simply order at the kiosk and they'll call your number when your order is ready, but be forewarned that the tray can be on the heavier side when you pickup. The Signature Set is not the most affordable menu option, but it provides a balanced meal of Korean dishes and the portion size is hearty enough for leftovers. I'll def be back!

    Super solid cold noodle spot inside a food court. The bowl was big and really hit the spot. Mul Naengmyeon: Get This was so refreshing and flavorful. Broth was ice cold, the noodles had a nice chew, and the whole thing just felt super satisfying. Great combo of savory and tangy flavors. Perfect on a hot day or if you just want something light but still filling. Nothing fancy here, just good food. It's in a food court so don't expect much on service or atmosphere, but for what it is, it's great. Food: 9/10 Value: 8/10

    Spicy Cold Noodle
    Mint T.

    exceptionally hot day today, was craving some spicy naengmyeon. was so happy to find a spot that had some in the hmart food court. $19 for a fairly large portion, but it was really really good. its a must try, especially in this weather. it comes with a small serving of hot beef soup in those tea cups. pretty interesting way of serving it but the soup was good so it's no issue.

    Vivian L.

    The flavor was so good and the services was amazing considering how busy there were. This place is located inside of the hmart food hall which makes it convenient to grab after grocery shopping

    Omelet Rice
    Glenn M.

    Great little spot inside HMart! I had the Omelet fried rice and it was delicious! The banchan that came with was incredible as well, and they make their own banchan!

    The food here always slaps (and I come often- take my word for it). The cold broth noodles never disappoints and I could drink their bone broth until I blew up from the saltiness. Located in the food mart side of H-Mart, this place is a gem. It's quick, it's easy, and the service is pleasant. The ambiance can be crazy after church on a Sunday, but it's relatively easy to grab a table and enjoy good food after grocery shopping

It's a QR scan to see the menu and place your order through your phone. The food came out so quick. Less than 2 minutes and everything was in front of me and tasted fresh.

The portion was large and ingredients fresh. I enjoyed the variety and the amount of rice noodle. The broth was salty and refreshing. They have some side sauces to adjust the flavor, but I found myself not needing it. The dish reminded me of a form of hot pot but a soup version. Loved it! I highly recommend and will be returning!

I ordered their most popular dish, the A1 set, but honestly, it didn't really live up to the hype for me. The broth tasted pretty underseasoned overall. From what I understood, you're supposed to mix all the toppings into the soup with the noodles, but even after doing that, I still felt like the flavor was lacking. Yes, they provide seasoning on the side, but personally, I wish the broth already had enough flavor on its own without needing to adjust it myself. Would I come back? Probably not. Nothing really stood out to me enough to return, and it felt more like a one-time experience. Overall, everything was just okay.

    Well, this sucks...and only partially because this place ended up closing just when I finally…read morefinished writing my review. While I never thought Capital Noodle Bar was the best noodle joint that you could find in/around Irvine, this place was always so tasty and convenient! Even though they weren't our favorite place, the times we stopped by Capital Noodle Bar was usually on our way to/from the airport for a quick bite. Not only was the restaurant large (snagging a table was never an issue), but our food (typically) came out relatively quick. In addition, their menu was stocked with so many delicious options. It felt a little more Malaysian than Chinese to me, but, regardless, their collection of appetizers, dim sum items, congee, noodle soups, stir fried noodles, entrees, fried rice, and rice plates was so enticing, we couldn't help but come back to try more and more! -- HOT SAUCE TRAY I know it's kind of weird to mention this, but I love their dish of hot sauces. In particular, their jalapenos and chili oil go well with everything we've had here. -- CRISPY TOFU This may not have looked quite like what I had expected, but this was pretty good! The tofu was pillowy soft and piping hot while the outside of it was surprisingly crispy, given how it's not really battered. -- WONTON NOODLE SOUP - Pork & Shrimp Wonton, Egg Noodles We got this as part of their weekday special ($12 all-day, dine-in only), so I'm not sure if the portion size is any different. Either way, this was great. The wonton skins were a little thin, but each piece was plump and juicy, the noodles had a nice bite, and the broth was solid. -- CHAR KWAY TEOW - Shrimp, Chinese Sausage, Bean Sprouts, Egg, and Large Rice Noodles I've been on a bit of a kick ordering this whenever I see it and this was one of the better ones. The noodles were cooked really well (very bouncy), the dish had a slight kick yet it wasn't overly salty/seasoned, and the dish wasn't overloaded with beansprouts. -- SPICY GARLIC CALAMARI Ehh...this wasn't "bad", but it was definitely underwhelming. Although these were seasoned well and had a nice crispiness, the calamari itself was chewy and reminded me of the generic type you get at most other Chinese restaurants. -- TRIO OF BEEF NOODLE SOUP - Sliced Tenderloin, Beef Ball, Beef Stew (Beef Shank, Tripe, Tendon, Carrot), and Egg Noodles I was super hopeful for this one, but it turned out to be just okay. For me, the ingredients tasted fine, but the portion seemed a little light on the beef shank and the broth needed a bit more body to it (felt a little thin). -- CRISPY HAINAN CHICKEN - Deep Fried Dark Meat, Pickled Vegetables, Ginger Rice, Soy Sauce, Ginger, and Chili Sauce Not very traditional, but no less delicious. Boneless Hainan Chicken is appealing enough, but fried, too? While I wish there had been more of it, each piece was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The ginger rice was quite tasty as well! -- WAGYU BEEF POSTICKERS Pretty standard, though, not necessarily in a bad way. Although there wasn't much of a browned bottom/crust on these, I love how big and plump these were and how the filling had a nice, beefy flavor to it. -- HONG KONG STYLE CHOW FUN WITH CHICKEN, Seasonal Greens, Carrot, Mushroom, Egg, Gravy Sauce, and Large Rice Noodles This was just okay for me. The dish had a good ratio of vegetables and meats to noodles, but the gravy didn't do much for me - there was so much of it, it felt more distracting than additive. -- MANGO GREEN TEA Surprisingly, this wasn't nearly as sweet as I feared it would be. The mango flavor in this wasn't super intense and went well with the green tea. Along with how satisfying most of Capital's dishes have been, the other thing that I liked about this place was the staff. Every time we came here, the workers were always friendly and really attentive, even despite how they usually only had one server working. That being said, it has never been all that busy either, which might help explain why their closure. As genuinely bummed as I am to learn that this place has closed, it should be said that it's not like Capital Noodle Bar is gone forever. If you missed your chance to try them, or just want to eat here again, they have another location in Costa Mesa that's still open and just a short drive away. And, as it turns out, it's even closer to the airport, so our pseudo-ritual of stopping off can continue to live on. Thanks for the memories, Irvine Capital Noodle Bar!

The batter was wonderfully light, and I really enjoyed the distinct peppery punch it had. Overall, everything we tried was hit. It's a solid, clean spot with great execution on classic flavors. I would totally come back here again whenever I'm looking for a quick bite!
