I tried the original yukgaejang with pasta (similar to the noodles in kalguksu) and thought it was pretty good. Savory, hearty, comforting , and beefy. The portion was big enough that I had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. Next time, I would increase the spice level for a little extra cost, but if you're not that good with spice, even the default might be a bit spicy for you (it was for my husband). It's not cheap at $20 for a bowl, but it's comparable to the cost of a ramen bowl these days and it's much harder to come across yukgaejang, so I'm glad I decided to try this place out.I liked the banchan they gave out, too, even though there was limited variety. Service is friendly and the restaurant is clean and roomy. The rest of the menu looks promising, too. I will be back.

We came across this place as we were looking for Korean food. We arrived on weekday afternoon and got seated right away. The place is really cute. Cozy but still have a modern vibe. If you want Korean comfort food then you have to try this place. The food came out fairly quickly and they are good portion to share as a group. I wouldn't suggested ordering it as an individually unless you want to take it to-go for later or the next day (not a bad idea). Everything was delicious. The banchan were limited but they provided refills. The service was good and the girls were friendly. By the time, we left, the place was packed and I can see. The place is in an area with plenty of parking places. There may be a wait if you come after six.Will definitely come back with company.

Came here after Comic-con on Friday and there was no wait for 4 around 4:30pm. This place has cozy Korean food and decor is very aesthetic with a modern cultural vibe. We ordered bossam, two types of mandu, & the yukgaejang with Ramyeon. Everything was soo good especially after walking around comic con. I love the gold plates & utensils we got to use. The yukgaejang was my fave bc the broth is soo addicting! The bossam is high quality and all the sides are soo good. Everything we ordered was enough for all of us. Service is here very friendly and sometimes you'll see the owner working the front and serving. She's super nice! Coming back for the beef stew!

Super fast service. Ordered three dishes for three people and were in an out a little less than 1 hr. Crazy. I do wish they had a bit more banchan instead of just three. Dishes were flavorful, filling, and staff was super kind. Good place to try authentic Korean dishes that aren't always easy to find.

Came across Yuk Dae Jang while looking for Korean tofu soup. Wait was about half an hour around 6pm on a Friday. Service was very efficient. The hostess took our orders when our table was almost ready and our food was ready shortly after we were seated. I shared the Original Yuk Gaejang with Fresh Pasta and the Bossam. The menu and banchan was more limited and focused on quality. The yuk gaejang was creamy and with a good spice. The fresh pasta had a nice chew to it. All the sides that came with the bossam nicely complimented the pork. I appreciated the way the bossam was kept warm with the steaming tray.

Had lunch here today....food was really good! Had some ramen and the noodles were delicious!" Also ordered the kimchi dumplings and they were so good. Service was great and the restaurant was comfortable. Parking lot is large but it's Clairemont so everything is packed...parking spaces are tiny! I like that all the plates, bowls and cups are stainless steel....gives it a clean feel. I'll definitely be back!

How good could a bowl of meat and ramyun be? Turns out VERY. It smells delicious the minute you walk through the door. I got the original Yuk with "customade ramyun". I heard the fresh pasta gets overcooked quickly which was true for my friend's bowl. The soup was so beefy and tasted almost buttery, it was so rich and comforting. The beef was ultra tender and the aldente noodles went down nicely. Although the banchan was small (only 3), the unlimited kimchi and fish cakes were tasty. Beautiful spacious space inside with friendly staff and a big parking lot, a rare find in Convoy. Will definitely be back to try other things but the original already deserves a revisit.

location: same plaza as pt eatery and lolita's parking: free, big lot (the spots are a little tight) wait: we waited about 15 mins for a table on a Friday night what I ordered:- yuk dae jang with homemade ramen ($24.50): glad I went with the ramen. I asked for more spice, but if you're a mild-medium spice girlie like me, it may be too much spice. I ended up needing some tissues and watermain takeaway: solid spot if you're craving korean food or noodle soup

This meal simultaneously revived me and put me into a food coma. Came here as a party of 3 on a Friday night around 6:30 PM and waited around an hour to be seated. Unfortunately, there's no Yelp waitlist, so you have to manually put your name down. Though the restaurant feels spacious and homey, there's relatively limited seating. We ordered their original Yukgaejang with fresh pasta ($20) and braised premium ribs with glass noodles ($77). The food came out relatively fast with three of their refillable specialty banchan: kimchi, spicy fish cakes, and fresh green onion marinated in sesame oil. The Yukgaejang had a healthy serving of beef brisket, and the fresh "pasta" was cooked to a perfectly chewy texture. But the true star of the night was their braised premium short ribs, which they say serves 2-3 people. The short ribs were fall off the bone and paired so well with the refreshing green onion banchan. The sauce was a little too sweet for our liking but is balanced out by the spice of the dish and the acid from the banchan. Served with an assortment of vegetables, squash, rice cakes, and your choice of white/purple rice, this massive undertaking is what nourishes you and then puts you to sleep. Well worth the wait!

I ordered takeout for dinner with my friends recently - we got the yukdaejang with fresh pasta, sulantang, cold noodles, and pork bossam. Unfortunately, I didn't check the food before I left and by the time we all got together to eat, we realized the bossam was missing. I was able to speak to the manager and she was very prompt and professional in resolving the situation.We all enjoyed the food. The yukdaejang was flavorful with generous toppings. The pasta was packaged separately and maintained good texture even an hour later. I tried my friend's cold noodles and liked that as well. Will have to come back sometime to try the bossam lol
