It is all about that chew ~ this is the best naengmyun for guzzle worthy slush broth. Like no where else in L.A. with their signature nyang nyang nyang noods. Sure the service is a little slow but what is the rush? You came to enjoy so slow down and enjoy the moment. If you come at opening, there is a slight chance their hot broth will not be ready so come just a little after opening kekeke read more

Yuchun - The best ~ Chic Mui Naang Myun. - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Super yummy and no-frills spot for Korean cold noodles. This was one of the places I wanted to try while visiting LA. Parking is a little tight since the lot is small. My partner and I shared the Kalbi and Chic Hwe Naengmyun combo. They also have a self-serve broth station. The kalbi was tender, flavorful, and served hot. The cold noodles were refreshing with a nice spicy kick, and the noodles had the perfect chewy texture. Overall, a simple and satisfying meal. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Yuchun has good days and bad days. Today was a bad day. It's hot out, naengmyeon and Galbi sounds great. We get in line and essentially get skipped so we had to wait even longer, it's fine. We sit down and we ask to order immediately, we order the combo and he says 40minutes for meat. But every table has meat and all the tables seated with us we're able to order it but us So we get naengmyeon and Mandu, Mandu comes out ice cold. That's it, that's all I can say. Your girl is sad. She wants a good meal. read more

Yuchun is one of my friend's favorie spots for naengmyeon (cold noodles), and for a summer night - yes, I'll try it! There is parking in the small lot, though finding parking on the streets isn't too difficult either. Service was fairly quick and efficient - almost too quick, as I needed an extra minute to figure things out. Overall, I ended up trying their Chic Hwe NaengMyeon (Raw Fish Cold Noodles). While waiting for the food, there's a self-service bone broth to enjoy - though piping hot! What surprised me was that the cold noodles came lightly deconstructed - is this the "chic" way? I will admit putting the dish together was quite fun even though it was really just pouring the sweet, sour, spicy broth into already pre-prepared ingredients. The raw fish one in particular was a chore to eat. I'm no stranger to raw fish, but the bones were quite annoying to eat around. I chewed my way through one and tried de-boning the other - not the most convenient bites. Other than that, the noodles were chewy and very tasty. Though the fish itself was a chore to eat, I really enjoyed this "newer" (to me) way to enjoy cold noodles - fully dry before broth immersion. It opened my eyes to enjoying this dish a new way. I'm not sure if I'll be back, but I'd be lying if I said that the noodles themselves had a remarkable texture. read more

The food was so delicious!! It was my first time trying this type of noodles and I definitely would eat them again. They are super chewy (so I am glad the server cut them up a bit), the sauce is really flavorful and I loved the icy broth it comes with. The kimchi mandu are huge and super flavorful. I also loved the self serve broth! The service was good, and we were able to find parking in the lot so that was nice. I will definitely be back read more

Walked in for a late lunch, around 3 pm, and got seated and ordered immediately. My food came out approx 10 min late, I got the combo mul naengmyeon and kalbi. Both were great, until I cut my mouth on a piece of hard plastic that was in the soup. Honestly, mistakes happen and the food is otherwise great. read more

Best cold noodles to eat when you're in Koreatown. Bone broth is delicious and self serve.

One of the most consistent naengmyeon places in K-town. Both the mul or bibim are great. The spice level w/gochukaru and gochujang are perfect for me. Everyone who has been here also enjoys the bone/beef broth that is available for self service. Their combos with kalbi is great too. As you know everything has gone up in price. So don't be alarmed! The service is always good too. It gets very busy at times so come on non peak times. Enjoy! read more

Visited Yuchun in Ktown and had a pretty good meal overall. We ordered two of the combos so we could try both the spicy and non-spicy cold noodles paired with the galbi. Both versions of the noodles were tasty, and the galbi had great flavor. My only real complaint is that the combos didn't come out with the traditional variety of banchan (side dishes) you usually expect when getting Korean food. If you're coming strictly for a solid noodle and meat combo it hits the spot, but just keep the lack of side dishes in mind! Parking also limited read more

When the weather starts getting hot then it's a great time to get Korean cold soba noodles! This place will typically have a line and a wait. I got here in the late afternoon around 2 pm on a Saturday and waited for about 15 mins. I got the Chic Saekimi Naengmyun (#4 on the menu) and a plate of their Kimchi Mandu. The Kimchi Mandu are so huge and filled with lots of kimchi and pork. The Naengmyun was really refreshing and had a good chew. For the uninitiated, it may be a bit much but I really enjoyed the crunch from the veggies and dried beef. Overall, one of the top spots to grab Naengmyun! read more

Hot days = cold noodles! Super tiny parking lot, get ready to wait! My friend and I came at 1:30pm on a Saturday and there was still a pretty long line. Inside is pretty spacious! We ordered the chic mul naeugmyun and the kimchi wang mandu. Food came out pretty quickly. They even had a self serve bone broth. I found the hone broth to be extremely salty but it might be because the tank was running out. I loved the cold noodles - refreshing and so chewy. I was pretty disappointed with the kimchi mandu. There was so much hype around them but I found them to be pretty underwhelming. It was hard to flag a staff down for our bill and for any requests. Would come back for the cold noodles! read more

This is THE best place for naengmyeon and I crave it every time I'm in Ktown. Horrible parking (I recommend parking in the mall parking structure nearby if you can't find parking and walking over) but worth it. Very spacious inside with friendly service. You can self-serve yourself a free broth which is so yummy and soothing to the soul. The naengmyeon is delicious -- perfect amount of vinegary and coolnes. Can't recommend enough. read more

seems like an authentic Korean restaurant! lots of tables for seating. around 10min wait after putting your name on the paper clipboard outside. they will call your name once the table is ready. got the cold noodle soup and dumpling hot soup. dumplings were huge and had kimchi inside, super delicious. soup could of had more flavor, so I added chili oil and flakes they had at the table. super filling. 1 soup is good for 2-3 people imo. cold soup was refreshing for the hot day!! Unfortunately, they had a limited menu at our visit (out of kalbi and other menu options so resorted to soup :( ) still delicious food and quick service. they were pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon. complimentary sides of kimchi and other goodies, as many other Korean restraints do. would def come back to visit again and hopefully try the rest of their food. read more

My boyfriend and I were craving cold noodles and stopped by here. It wasn't crowded when we came for weekend dinner so we were promptly seated. The spicy cold noodles were quite delicious but not too spicy. I wish the noodles were a bit less chewy or cut more because it felt easy to choke. I really enjoyed the beef tofu soup especially since it was colder outside. All the side dishes were delicious as well. I do wish they had smaller meat dishes to order so we could have some on the side, especially since the cold noodles only came with 2 small slices of meat. The only meat items available were larger portions that we wouldn't be able to finish. read more

When I need refreshing cold noodles, Yuchun is my perfect spot. Their naeng myun has been my favorite in LA so it keeps me coming back. I want to try more of the menu, but how can I not get something I know is THE BEST every time!? Dilemmas of a hungry chick in LA. My friends tell me this shop really gives them Korea vibes, and feels like the laid-back, modest shops there. Along with that, service reminds me of what we had in Chicago Korean restaurants, and I've heard is also the way of Korea...you need to flag people down for service. This is just the way it is, don't be offended - it's the cultural norm for older generations. Their buckwheat noodles are so chewy and amazing. They do chik naengmyeon here so the noodles have arrowhead powder giving them that extra bite. The beef broth is icy cold with tons of ice and such great tangy flavor. The brisket slices, the egg, the sauce ~ all components are always excellent in Yu Chun's soup. The beef broth also has a hot version - self served - that people go wild for. That hot brothhhhhhh, drool! I come here all the time, I'm going to keep coming - especially in the hot summer months for 냉면! read more

Super refreshing naengmyeon! The broth is delicious and the portions are generous. Chewy noodles, nice icy broth, and radish are all you need. Love their self serve broth to balance out the cold noodles. Their kimchi mandus are huge! This was a perfect meal in the afternoon and I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. Parking can be tricky since the lot is small. Service is quick and attentive. It's a perfect spot for wanting a quick and delicious meal! read more

Yuchun - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My family & I visited Yuchun for dinner last Wednesday, which was recommended to me by a colleague for good cold noodles in K-Town. The restaurant's located in a small plaza with a parking lot. When we arrived at around 6:30pm, there were a few open parking spots. There were some parties dining at this time, but it wasn't crowded and we got a table quickly. Only one staff member was running tables; the service felt short, but the food came out pretty fast. The decor and vibe feel warm and homey. It's on the less busy side of K-Town, so I feel like this could be a good place to chill after work. We shared the Chic Mul Naengmyun (cold noodles with beef & veggies) and Bagirak Kalguksu (hot, homemade noodles with clams), which showcased the diversity of their noodle dishes. The cold noodles were my fave out of the two since they were refreshing. However, it seemed like there were more veggies than beef in this dish. For two people, the serving sizes were huge, so we packed leftovers to take home. We weren't allowed to take home the side dishes, which I thought were lacking anyway. I wish I added on the dumplings or one of the meat dishes, but that just means I have to come back soon! read more

The food was BOMB! I came in solo and you could tell they're not used to this as I got a blank stare when I asked for a table for 1 lol the older lady lied to me and told me there was no more galbi, that they were sold out (I assume because I was a solo?) idk. The other lady was nice tho :) I'm coming back with a friend so I can try more stuff. My Korean friend said this is as authentic as it gets and it tastes even better than some places in Korea. Come try! read more

Still stand by my opinion that it's the best naengmyeon I've had. Yes the parking is still small, but my main gripe is that the LA galbi + naengmyeon combo I always get is honestly pretty pricey. Otherwise, I love the broth and chew of the noodles. I love the self serve hot broth. Be sure to ask for some hot mustard to mix in! read more

Yuchun - Chic Mui Naang Myun - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is hands down the best cold noodles I've ever had. I came on a Monday afternoon around 1:30pm and found parking really easy in the lot. However, I will say I got lucky and the lot filled up super quick afterward. I met up with a friend here and she had to park on the street, though it was still easy to find parking at that specific time. I'm sure that at night time and weekends, parking would be a complete nightmare. We were seated right away and there were still lots of tables available. The AC here is strong, which was great for the warm day, but definitely makes you question if you'd want to get cold noodles! The cold noodles, like I said were delicious! We got the spicy one. The broth was flavorful and icy. The only complaint is the amount of meat. It comes with 2 very thin slices of beef. I would have gladly paid more for a bit more beef. They also provide warm broth, which was also very flavorful. They don't have a lot of options for banchan as they only provided us spicy radish. But otherwise, food was great! I'll definitely be back! Service was fast too! read more

Food 4/5: food was great, kimchi mandoo was great, fried rice was great, cold noodle was supposedly good, but galbi was way too greasy. Service 1/5: we sat down for about 15 mins and had to call yimo to come over to take our orders. They were throwing the dishes on our table and they were also throwing the check on our table from our elbow angle without telling us, and we had to get water by ourselves because they never checked on us. I don't know? Why do you guys ask for tips if you don't serve??? Ambiance 1/5: dirty, oily, greasy, gross. Never coming back. read more

Best cold noodles I've ever had! Growing up, I was not a fan of them.. mostly because I just preferred a nice hot bowl of noodles or stir fry. Now that I can appreciate the complexity of an amazing bowl of cold noodles, it hits different. Their chilled broth is filled with so many flavors. From a very simple but pungent acidity but not overpowering. Noodles were perfectly cooked and cucumbers were fresh. Pickled daikon that is perfectly made. Just simply amazing! The self serving of hot broth is also amazing! Great palate cleanser and an amazing way to start and finish your meal. read more

Was craving some cold naengmyun noodles over the hot weekend and found Yuchun as a top recommended place by locals. When we arrive, there was a waitlist, but it wasn't too long even on a Saturday lunch hour. Waited around 15 minutes and got seated. Very big seating area. Ordering was pretty simple. They have a very easy menu to read opted for the cold naengmyun noods + kimchi pork dumplings. Wow. I dont usually get naengmyun because i hate the texture of the noodles + the broth taste like hotdog water at other places, but man I was so surprised that the naengmyun at Yuchun was so delicious. Every bite was so tasty and easy to eat. The broth was sooo tasty and perfect for that summer heat. I could eat this every week. The dumplings were quite plump and had a lot of filling in it. I think it was the perfect amount was expecting something smaller but you could eat this as a whole meal. Parking is limited in their lot. Find street parking. read more

Overall: 4.75 stars, great food, especially known for their cold noodles. Service is not the best since it's so busy so it can get difficult to call down a waiter. One of the best things is that they offer the broth to sip on while you wait for your food! The Service: There's always a wait whenever I go so I recommend going when they first open for little to no wait. Service is quick and no frills, there isn't the attentiveness you would expect at other restaurants. However, food comes out quickly. A lot of the items you can grab yourself instead of trying to flag down a waiter. The Food: mul naengmyeon - Korean Cold Noodles are slushy with plenty of ice and very flavorful. I've had some places that does naengmyeon and the broth isn't as good as this place! It's nice and tangy and you can always add more vinegar to it! The noodles are perfectly cooked and nice and chewy. self service broth - this broth is a nice complement to the cold noodles! very peppery which is great. Price: A bowl of naengmyeon is about $18 which is a bit pricey but the amount of food you get is a lot and I'm always full . The Atmosphere: Very busy restaurant which is always full and bustling. It's a casual restaurant so not a place for a fancy date. Very no frills and has seating for different sized groups. Parking: Small lot with very little parking most of the time, the other option is trying to find street parking which can also be difficult because it's in a busy area of Koreatown. read more

The only thing I look forward to when summer comes, is getting a solid bowl of naengmyeon, and I'm so glad I finally got to try Yuchun in K-Town. This spot really delivered. We came for Saturday lunch, there was plenty of seating and service was incredibly fast. Our food was served in about 15 minutes. Here's what we ordered: * Chic Bibim Naengmyeon: This was the star of the meal for me. The noodles came in a slushy iced broth, which I absolutely love - I usually ask for extra ice if it's not cold enough, but this came perfectly chilled. Scissors provided at the table to make the thin, long, chewy noodles easier to eat. It was also topped with sliced beef, thin sliced cucumbers, 1/2 boiled egg & a spicy sauce that added a good kick. It was a heavenly summer treat; refreshing, spicy, and totally hit the spot. * Kimchi Wang Mandu: Each dumpling was huge and stuffed generously with flavorful kimchi filling. The skin was soft, not too thick, and perfectly steamed. Definitely worth adding for a side dish. * Beef Soontofu: Can't go wrong with tofu soup. The broth was flavorful with a nice level of spice. Whether you're craving a refreshing bowl of naengmyeon or something heartier, this place serves variety of staple korean food. Will be my go to spot for naengmyeon, especially when the heat's unbearable & I need a proper chill fix. read more

Honestly me and my boyfriend loved this place the first time we've tried it, so we decided why not go now since the last time was good, but we just left the place very disappointed. We ordered the same exact thing like the first time, #2 Chic Bibim Naengmyun and #7 Kalbi + Chic Naengmyun, thinking that the quality and the taste of the food would be the same like last time but to be honest we both felt like they changed the recipe or the quality went down. I usually could finish the meal but honestly it was very disappointing. The service was honestly so rude especially to people who aren't Korean, we felt like we were being treated like we weren't paying the food we got and basically begging them for it. Just slamming down the food even when I said thank you she just left and said nothing. When we paid, the server basically chased us down to leave a tip when they didn't check on us, they didn't care if we liked the food or not, I don't understand why the server was basically FORCING us to leave a tip. Again, this is very disappointing. I genuinely feel robbed as if i was held up by the server for a tip, she chases us down and kept us as if we didn't pay the bill at all, not saying a word just simply pointing her pen and smacking the receipt at the 15% tip like we owe it to her. This is a very entitled restaurant so wouldn't recommend coming here unless you want to experience what it's like to be robbed by 'pen'point. read more

Yuchun in Koreatown is one of my favorite places, and it never disappoints. The cold noodles are always on point--refreshing, flavorful, and consistently delicious every time I visit. The galbi is also excellent. The meat is tender, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. It pairs wonderfully with the cold noodles and makes for a satisfying meal. The gentleman who works there is always friendly, attentive, and provides great service. He helps create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back. One thing I really appreciate is that they give you complimentary broth to drink. It's such a simple touch, but it's warm, comforting and adds to the overall experience. Between the consistently great food, excellent service, and thoughtful extras like the free broth, Yuchun is a must-visit in Koreatown. I highly recommend it and will definitely continue coming back. read more

I was in the mood for tofu soup and this place came up on Google maps. I looked it up on Yelp and it was highly rated so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived, there was no one there except one person so we were skeptical, but I immediately recognized it as a local mom and pop shop on tiktok/reels, known for their cold noodles and hot broth station- so I was looking forward to eating here even more! We ordered the galbi and cold noodles combo, as well as the tofu soup I was craving. I've never had Korean cold noodles before so I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The noodles were thin and super chewy. The broth was refreshing and has a nice tang to it. The hot broth was really good and complemented our dishes well. The setting was a very traditional, older restaurant feel with good comfort food. The service was average and prompt. I am looking forward to coming back for the cold noodles during warmer months! read more

Yuchun - Galbi and cold noodle combo + seafood tofu soup - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here for lunch and it was so good! It's located in a plaza in ktown and valet is available. It wasn't busy when we arrived but halfway through the meal, the restaurant got super busy, so it definitely seemed like a popular spot to go to. We were served banchan upon ordering, and there's a self-serve station to get their broth soup. That soup was so good and flavorful (also complimentary). It was probably one of the highlights of this restaurant. We ordered the chic bibim naang myun (5/5) and the dolpan mushroom and bulgogi (4/5). The chic bibim naang myun was amazing. It was light, flavorful and the noodles were tasty. It was a little bit spicy but it complemented the dish really well. I'd definitely recommend getting this dish. The dolphan mushroom and bulgogi was also good, but if this is your first time, I highly recommend getting the chic bibim naang myun. The portion of the dolpan was big, so I couldn't finish it all, but I felt like it was rather a simple dish (the only cool part was the stone plate). Maybe if it had more veggie variety or some sort of sauce, it would've elevated the taste more. Overall, still not bad. read more
