A great spot for Korean comfort food in Ktown! Stopped by with a friend after a workout class and the Yukgaejang we got hit the spot! I got the Yukgaejang with handmade ramen (other noodle options include glass noodles, handmade pasta) which was so hearty and flavorful. You can pay a bit extra to make it more spicy too. It comes with shredded beef and scallions. It's quite a large portion size so you'll be quite full or have some leftovers for the next day. It's been a while since I've had their bossam but I also remember it being super good! Service is quick and efficient. Parking is convenient as they have their own shared parking lot in the plaza. read more

I've been here a few times and the food has always been consistent. My favorite dish is the Bossam--tender, flavorful, and perfect with kimchi and garlic. I also really enjoyed the beef intestine soup. The intestines were chewy, fresh, and not oily at all, which is hard to find. Overall, a reliable Korean spot in K-Town that I'd happily come back to. read more

I have come here a few times and tried the original yukgae Jang with is a glass noodle soups with shredded beef. But on this hot day, I wanted something light and quick. We tried the brisket cold soup and it was so refreshing! The broth was so vibrant with radish notes and notes of sweetness. They also give you vinegar and mustard to adjust to your liking. Service is always great and quick. Highly recommend trying out this little restraint, you won't be disappointed! It is like a little hidden haven especially in this heat in LA. read more

Last Friday, I went to Yukdaejang and had some suyuk, bossam, dumplings, and yukgaejang. We also got the seafood hot pot, and honestly, everything was so flavorful and delicious--it totally hit the spot. We ordered some Baekseju too, and it paired so well with the food that it was seriously a match made in heaven. The service, interior, and vibes were just okay, pretty average, and they kept playing K-pop the whole time. On the bright side, I loved that it wasn't valet parking, and the food prices were honestly super reasonable and cheap. read more

The seafood soup and Yuk gae jang are my go to here some of the best in LA. It's always consistent and very filling. The restaurant is very bright and clean with nice decor, staff is very nice and attentive. The soondae is pretty good I've had better but if you're in the mood for soondae this is worth a try, as for the Mandu it was ok imo. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

We've been here a few times -- the flavor isn't really my style, but my kids actually like it even though it's a bit spicy for them. Love that they use black rice, and the little candy they hand out with the bill is such a cute touch. And the broth for the brisket mul-naengmyeon tastes really different from the usual spots! read more

The food was really delicious! I thought the brisket was a unique touch and cold noodles are the perfect dish on a hot summer day. Parking is a small parking lot and very difficult.

Yuk Dae Jang - Brisket Cold Soup Buck Wheat Noodle - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

**October 2025: Sunday Night Visit** My friend and I were looking for an authentic Korean food that was open on Sunday. Yuk Dae Jang popped up on my search and it was within a 10-15 minute drive from the Los Angeles Convention Center. It's located at the edge of k-town and in a gated area. There are 3 or 4 shops in this very small area; however, we were able to find parking easily at 5:30ish We sat at a booth and after pursuing the menu decided on the following entrees. Both were served on a hot pot contraption to ensure the meal is served hot! -Premium Bossam (S) $21.99: The meat was tender and the size small is perfect for 2. -Premium Bulgogi w/ Glass Noodle $33.99: This was fantastic. My friend even commented that this might be the best bulgogi dish that he's ever had. I myself really enjoyed this dish and the oyster mushrooms along with the bulgogi really held their own -Banh Chan assortment (complimentary with meal): The fish cake, and kimchi were all great. No complaints Bathroom here is clean, service is prompt, and I enjoyed eating everything that was put in front of me. Portions were good and my friend and I basically licked all the plates clean. I'll definitely be back! read more

Ordered the medium Premium Bossam Boiled in Various Herbs and the Prime Beef Bulgogi with Glass Noodle and everything was sooo yummy especially when paired with the banchan. A few pieces of the pork were a little on the dry side but the flavor made up for it. Both dishes for lunch were more than enough for four people. Service was really quick and friendly. Got there around noon on a Monday and there were a few other groups but no wait at all. Would def recommend!! read more

This was a small restaurant in a small strip area. The menu is a a bit limited but we ordered a galbi Jim and ramen dish. The short ribs were soft and tender and so we were satisfied. Service was quick. The only bad thing was that my purse got stolen from the parking lot. read more

This place is amazing. We ordered their signature braised beef ribs -- the meat was so tender it practically fell off the bone. The veggies soaked up all the flavor from the broth -- pumpkin, enoki mushrooms, glass noodles, and rice cakes were all super tasty and full of that rich soup flavor. So comforting! The beef soup itself was really fresh and flavorful, with plenty of ingredients. I also have to give a shoutout to the kimchi -- it's seasoned exactly the way I like it! read more

Rating: (5/5) Visited Yukdaejang K-Town on a Saturday night with 3 friends. We were lucky to walk in and get a table right away. Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Soup) - $47.99 Packed with spam, sausage, tofu, rice cakes, mushrooms, and noodles. Rich, flavorful, and comforting--perfect for a chilly evening. Steamed Bossam (Small) - $21.99 Tender, smoky, and juicy. Paired with lettuce and sauce, it's not greasy and very satisfying. Portions are generous, flavors authentic, and the menu has plenty of other options like braised short ribs, cold noodles, and dumplings. Great spot for Korean comfort food in LA! Tip: It can get busy on weekends, so reservations are recommended. read more

The spicy beef noodle soup (not too spicy) with the fresh pasta is mighty delicious. Their seafood version of the soup is also a favorite of mine. Any savory stews or noodle soup you can't go wrong here. I didn't care for the Bossam, meaning I had better versions before. Yuk Dae Jang is a well-known restaurant brand from Korea, the food here is authentic and so good! Multiple locations come to mind in Southern California: Irvine, San Gabriel, Koreatown, Gardena, and beyond. -Parking on the premises of the mini-mall;although tight. -Payment: Credit and Cash. read more

I tried this spot a couple weeks ago for the first time since my og spot is closed on Wednesdays, but I'm very picky with my Soondubu and this is the second place in k town I love for it! I'm gonna gatekeep the first but I'm sure everyone knows it. This is def is being added to my rotation for the price, portion, quality and taste this SLAPS! Certainly has a slight modern take with the addition of noodles to your soup but it certainly does not compromise on authenticity!!! The side dishes were also very good which is a huge indicator of how good the k food is! It's simple but flavorful and comforting! The service was very nice and quick. The ladies were very helpful with modifications I wanted. The ambiance was very welcoming and clean as well! Usually hole in the walls are a bit dusty but everything seemed very up to par cleanliness! They will be seeing me again very frequently if they stay consistent with quality, flavor and cleanliness read more

Yuk Dae Jang - Yuk Gae Jang Soon Tofu - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've enjoyed eating here in person before, but I'll also hype this place up as one of the best Korean spots to order delivery from in LA. The to-go banchan quality is the only one that's consistently fresh and high quality, whereas most other spots clearly give you the sides that been left out all day. Anyway, Yuk Gae Jang is my favorite Korean soup by far and the one here is legit. So flavorful and they have so many different noodle types, all of which are really delicious. read more

This has been my favorite place to get yukdaejang soup for the last 5 or 6 years ! The take out packaging is immaculate and you get the same great quality you would if you were to dine in. Their dishes are packed with beef and the service is always quick. The employees are great. read more

Oh man this place is fantastic. Service is great and fast, food is fantastic. Banchan was stellar all around. Kimchi was crunchy and tasty, fish cakes were soft and chewy, pickled veggies were so crunchy and spicy. The Yukgaejung with ramyun was so tasty, with a slight kick, tons of perfectly cooked ramen, tender brisket, and loads of veggies. The flavor was so smooth but bold that coats your mouth. The highlight is the premium bossam in house special soy sauce. The onions soak up all the sauce and become soft and sweet. The pork belly is cut at just the right thickness, not fatty or chewy at all, and the meat is so soft while soaking up all that delicious sauce. I love the accompaniments like the salty squid, garlic, rice, and more. Prices are great for the portion sizes and quality. I will definitely be back read more

This place is so bad..... I went to this place because the Rowland Heights location is so fulfilling and satisfying. It was the biggest disappointment EVER. I've been here three times so far hoping I would give them a chance thinking it would get better. Their sundaeguk is awful. Their bossam is awful. Their nengmyun is the WORST ABSOLUTE WORST!!!!!!! It was not even icy and the noodles were swollen and soggy. Service was AWFUL!!! Go to the Rowland Heights location. It is like two different restaurants. Rowland Heights location is extremely kind and the food was actually good!!!!! read more

First time here because of a recommendation from a friend. Was not disappointed at all. Service was nice and you have an option to sit outside as well. Very rarely do I see any Korean restaurants offer bossam and was very happy that they not only offer it but it was good. I also ordered the Premium Tripe & Brisket soup with their mixed grain rice which was super yummy . A must try for sure. read more

Seriously, stop what you're doing and go eat here. Every single dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. From the mains to the sides, everything was absolutely delicious -- we couldn't stop raving about it. The portions? Huge. You're definitely getting your money's worth. Even the sides were so good, we kept asking for more -- and we're not usually side dish people! On top of the amazing food, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the entire dining experience even better. read more

Yuk Dae Jang - Pork Belly Cabbage - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yuk Dae Jang is a solid spot for consistent and flavorful Korean food, but there are definitely some things to keep in mind before visiting. Let's start with the biggest downside--parking. The plaza is a nightmare with limited spots and a terrible layout. If you don't find a spot, there's street parking and a lot across the street, but it's not the most convenient since you have to walk through an alley and cross the street. Once inside, the restaurant is usually busy and can get crowded, but I've never had to wait too long. The ventilation could be better--it gets a little stuffy, and I always end up smelling like food after. The food here is always good and consistent. My go-to orders: 1. Yukgaejang with fresh in-house ramyun noodles - The spice level is a little light, but the bouncy, nicely cooked noodles soak up the broth really well. It also comes with a good amount of brisket, which is a nice bonus. 2. Bossam - I like that it's served over a burner, which gives it a nice charred taste after cooking for a while. 3. Cold Noodles - One of my favorites here! They have a great ratio of toppings, and the noodles are nicely chewy and silky. One time I ordered a Soondae noodle soup (off-menu item) that was just okay. The soup itself was good, but the soondae wasn't the best. The service is a bit slow--they don't check in often for water refills, banchan refills, or when you're ready for the bill. That said, it always looks like the workers are busy, so it might just be a staffing issue. read more

Yukgaejang had good flavor and was not spicy despite how it looks, which was actually good for me. But there's like nothing in the soup, which was disappointing. Literally only green onions and strands of beef and glass noodles. I'd usually expect some more veggies and egg but nope... doesn't really make it worth the money for me. read more

Yuk Dae Jang is my go-to spot for comforting, flavorful Korean soups and hearty meals in Koreatown! The beef brisket soup is rich, aromatic, and loaded with tender meat, while the kimchi side dishes are fresh and perfectly balanced. Everything tastes homemade and authentic. The portions are generous, and the food always comes out hot and flavorful. On the menu in English , it might say pasta but actually a knife hand cut noodle actually good also. The dumplings were ok Service is friendly and quick, even when the place is busy. The warm, casual vibe makes it perfect for both a solo meal or coming with friends. And you know this place it's good and authentic when most of the guests were Korean. If you're craving authentic Korean comfort food, this place is a must-visit! read more

Visited Yukdaejang K-town I ordered Yukgaejang with Kalguksoo noodle which didn't come with rice, and it was terribly small, just little bit of noodle which I don't understand why they don't come with rice. It has almost same amount of noodle as regular Yukgaejang which comes with glass noodle and rice, but no rice and more expensive than regular Yukgaejang. I think the owner never tried other restaurant never. You should try other Kalguksoo and compare the amount, if it's gonna be a regular meal without rice it should have way more noodle. Salty soup with just little bit of noodle and no rice??? Come on!!! I even asked the server "No rice comes with this order?" and server simply told me "No, it doesn't!" which is totally wrong, server should have asked me if I wanted a rice even they have to charge for that or not. Totally disappointed and not going back. read more

Soooooo good! I've had a lot of different kinds of Korean food but have never tried yukgaejang (spicy beef noodles). This is basically what YDJ specializes in and definitely lives up to its name. Walked in on a pretty cold, windy day so I was already craving some soup. I also ordered the dumplings (which I think was the octopus one). Dumplings were not that amazing and not worth the price in my opinion. However, the yuk gae jang was incredible. I got mine with purple rice and glass noodles which I think matches the soup better. It was very flavourful and I loved the beef in it. This was so good that I ended up ordering DoorDash like two weeks later and the delivery version was great as well. Service is very standard ktown; nothing amazingly great but still attentive. The restaurant was also designed very ktown-esque and made use of its small space. Overall, great spot in ktown! read more
