Reviews
i personally had great service, perhaps it's the time i went- around 7 pm. i saw some reviews saying they docked on the rating since the service was really bad. i got the seafood beef tofu and loved it. it came with purple rice and an egg, and the kimchi, bean sprouts, cucumber, and cold veggie soup combo. my friends got the bulgogi (the $27 one) it had so much bulgogi good portions, it's a little on the pricey side, there's nothing less than like $18 but the food is really good i would come here again the vibes is like your standard asian restaurant. typically families coming in or small/medium groups of friends. it's not quiet, people are talking- it's a good time tho
I've been going here for over 12 years and it's simply delicious. Food always hits the spot and is SO craveable. I always get the tofu soup with dumplings--I just love it. The mushroom, seafood...ALL of them are legit. The short ribs are tasty...good marinade. We prefer it over the BBQ beef which is more sweet. The seafood pancake is large and can easy share. The pork cutlet comes out hot, crispy, and super tender. The bibimbap is yummy! The banchan is DELICIOUS. ALL of it...just wish they had the potato ones too. The combos are decent sized and priced well. The service is quick and easy...the ladies are so sweet. The atmosphere is simple...cafeteria like since the tables are all so close to each other. It's a tight squeeze but WORTH IT. Love this place. HIGHLY recommend for good Korean food!
This is absolutely my favorite soondubu spot! Outside of their tofu soup, I've ordered almost everything else on the menu and everything has been a hit as well. Yong Dong is my go to comfort spot. As another plus, I think their kimchi banchan also tastes especially good compared to other restaurants. Other than the tofu soup, I highly recommend the katsu since it's huge and has an excellent crisp. Not as popular, I also love the yellow croaker since it's large and actually still has a lot of the roe inside. It can get pretty busy, especially on weekend evenings. However, the ajummas serving you are always fast; the food comes out quite quickly after you order.
I order take out from this location and loved it! They are generous with their portions and their restaurant is very busy! It carries the aroma of delicious tofu soup and sizzling plates of beef and pork. My family all enjoyed their food. What's unique about this location is that they make a seafood pancake that the diamond bar location doesn't carry. It's crispy and delicious- packed with seafood. I will definitely order from here again next time I'm craving Korean food. Hopefully I can try it in store next time.
My favorite Korean restaurant for tofu soup! Everything on their menu has been great for me. They have good side dishes and food tastes great. The tofu soup comes out boiling hot and comes with an egg you can crack in. Good flavor on the soup. The BBQ ribs is marinated well and stays hot on their hot plate. The pork cutlet is HUGE and fried perfectly with light and airy crisp. The purple rice has a nice scorch on the bottom. Service is great here! Fast and responsive. They have a good amount of seatings inside. Spacious but does get busy especially weekend nights. Waiting list is only on a piece of paper. My go to place for Korean food!
