Yong Gung

I had the beef and broccoli with rice & Korean spicy fried chicken (Yangnyeom Dak) with slaw. I didn’t like how the slaw had thousand island sauce that tasted store bought. The chicken was too sweet (sweeter than the average sweet Korean fried chicken) but I liked the sticky texture of the sauce. I was surprised by how big, clean & spacious the restaurant was. It was empty when I came on a Monday night but it got busy around 7PM. The beef and broccoli dish was slightly bitter due to the charred remains of the wok from perhaps another dish (I’m unsure). The portion size for the chicken was larger than I expected and was fair for the beef and rice dish. Side dishes (banchan-​they come free and you can refill them) that came with the chicken included yellow pickled radish (danmuji), spicy pickled cabbage (kim chi) and a salty black bean sauce (chunjang I think). Service was great and fast. My dishes came out faster than I expected. I would definitely like to come back here again and try their noodle dishes and spicy rice cake (Tteokbokki).

Probably the only resturant that serves good black bean noodles in the Denver area. The spicy rice cake is flavorful and filling. They load it up with veggies and fish cakes so the portion is big. During the summer they serve korean shaved ice.
The resturant is clean and the spacious so you never feel overcrowded. The service is friendly and they give good and honest recommendations according to your preference.

Their combos are a great deal!
Combo A comes with: jjambbong (spicy seafood noodles), jjajang (black bean noodles), and tangsooyook (sweat and sour pork). All for $ 23. The food is definitely enough to feed 3 people.
Combo B is the same noodle dishes + donkatsu instead. Same price. Seems like a pretty good deal.
I like the jjajang at P&Y better, but I think Yong Gung’s tangsooyook is definitely better. just seems more fresh. tangier. and the sauce had better consistency.
Their service is very fast. the waitress paid attention to us well and came to check on us at the right times.
They speak English too hehe. So don’t be scared! Just ask questions if you need to know what something is :)

I thought of trying this place again. Yesterday my family and I went for lunch. It was a good experience. The service was very good. The food I thought came out fast. The place was pretty packed. I saw two people working on the floor but did a good job keeping up. I noticed few changes like the wall. It has pictures of the meal and a number so it is easy to see and order. There were different people working there since last time I visited. Mom wants to go again today for lunch.

I’m Korean. I’m from Korea. The champong here is legit. It’s arguably the best champong I’ve ever had. I also ordered the jjajang-​dobboki which was okay. But champong wise, it was glorious. I’ll have to travel down and try the other items on the menu. Five stars.

Really good food and good service. I really enjoyed the spicy wings a lot and my daughters loved the chicken katsu. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

You know the place has to be authentic when out of 12 tables over the Friday noon hour, only one (mine) was not filled with Korean customers. I saw multiple tables with 3 generations, from grandparents to babies, sitting down to happily enjoy a delicious meal. From the looks of it, the jia jiang myeon (noodles with black bean sauce), don katsu (breaded and fried pork cutlets served with curry sauce), and the spicy seafood noodle soup are their most popular signature dishes. There is even a combination special that you can order with full sized servings of these 3 dishes for $ 23, which is an awesome deal!
I know everyone raves over the black bean noodle dish but for me it wasn’t that special. The noodles do definitely have that nice chewy bite to them, but the black bean sauce with onions over top was a bit bland for my taste. Perhaps if the sauce contained meat and was spicier, like the Chinese version of the same named dish, I would have enjoyed it more. Or maybe I was just expecting the Chinese version; whatever the reason, while it wasn’t bad, I would skip it on future visits. But the don katsu… OMG…it was the best!!! 3 huge pieces came on this gigantic platter, complete with a sweet savory curry sauce, white rice, and salad… SO GOOD! I love that curry sauce and would happily slurp a bowlful of it by itself. Yum! Finally, the seafood noodle dish is also great. A nice assortment of seafood in the bowl, including shrimp, squid, and mussels. I believe there were also some chunks of chicken in there. The broth is nicely spiced without being overly salty.
My family of 5 ordered 5 dishes and the total only came to $ 44 and change, including tax. We could not finish all the food and ended up taking enough leftovers home that will suffice for 3 additional lunch portions. Service was very fast and attentive in the beginning when we arrived at 11:30a because we were the only ones in the restaurant but within half an hour, the place got very busy. Understandably, the waiter was busy attending to other customers and we sat around probably an extra 15 minutes waiting for our check and take out containers, but that was fine since we weren’t in any rush. I saw some people go up to the cash register directly to pay to expedite the process. Despite the wait and simple service, I’ve got to give this place 5 stars based on the food alone. I wish there was a place like this close to where I live!

The fried chicken is so good. Such good prices. It was spicier than I thought but that’s ok. We also ordered the spicy pork which was really good too. They give you side dishes in the beginning for free as well with black bean sauce which is nice to munch on something as you wait. It’s clean and I enjoyed the casual ambiance. I went on a Monday so it wasn’t as busy. The food didn’t take so long to make which was super great. The service was good as well. I always had a water refill and they consistently checked in on us throughout our meal. Overall just wonderful.

Okay, so I am about to start my (once a month) magic event… so had to eat something with noodles and something spicy soupy. I was like, one of those few weeks starved lions just went crazy, finished pretty much everything in few minutes. Great food!!! Service was just normal, stopped by once for water refill. Perhaps that was the reason why, because the food is just awesome. ???
I will return for sure, just hope the taste would not change.

If you haven’t tried this place yet, you should definitely try it! This place is NOT overpriced, great tasting food, not a real big menu, but the choices are goooooood… and so worth every penny!
The popular Seoul BBQ is pretty much next door to this place, but glad we made the choice to come here instead.
Appearance: Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but don’t let that fool you
Staff: Very friendly, attentive, we had some questions and they took the time to explain some of the dishes, didn’t rush us
Atmosphere: Spacious, clean, played some good music (not too loud though), good for large groups or just a quiet dinner with your loved one/​s
Food: Definitely worth the price, HUGE portions, taste & appearance were awesome. Food arrived to our table quick, I don’t even think we waited 15 minutes. These are the items we ordered:
Spicy Korean Fried Chicken-​comes with rice & salad
Jab Che-​comes as is, with beef. no rice or salad… this dish was filled with so many onions and different kinds of vegetables that the rice was not missed LOL
Jab Tang Bap-​this is by far my favorite dish today… it was filled was different kinds of seafood (shrimp, squid, mussels, etc), vegetables, etc… flavor was so good.
This was our first experience so we ordered 3 different dishes not expecting to go home with A LOT of leftovers. Yummmmmmmmy! We will be back to try other dishes they have to offer.

Ah so glad to have found this little spot. Big portions, reasonable prices, and yummy delicious Korean/​Chinese food. Mostly Korean so if you want real Chinese food, not your spot to go.
Came here because I’m a sucker for jjajang meon (black bean noodles). And my husband ddukboki. And I have to say this place does it right.
I recommend getting the jjajang ddukboki. It’s a little different than traditional ddukboki, but it has a fiery kick to it. Plus for $ 10 you get a big plate with two hard boiled eggs, ramen noodles, and rice noodle. Definitely filling as is. Don’t worry it’s not as spicy as I make it sound.
The jjajang meon noodles are on point here. You can tell its home made hand pulled noodles because of the fact you have to use scissors to cut the noodles. Otherwise you’ll just make a huge mess and trust me. Black bean sauce is hard to get out. Perfect texture noodles and with the perfect amount of sauce. Though I wish they would slice a bit more cucumbers into the dish.
Service was nice, friendly and attentive. They did speak a lot of Korean to each other (at least you know you’re getting legit Korean food). But then I came in around 2:30 on a Monday afternoon. We were basically the only ones… But they do have lunch specials that end at 2:30. From what I saw it was reasonable (less than $ 10).

Made a visit here during the holidays with my dad and boyfriend. We got the combination option (jjajangmyun, jjambbong, and tonkatsu) and it was perfect. I was impressed by the portion size because it fed the three of us comfortably which is surprising because we all have big appetites. I particularly loved the tonkatsu because of the curry sauce. It’s been a while since eating it this way instead of the usual tonkatsu sauce, and I adored it. Can’t wait to try other items on the menu in the future.

I usually come here whenever i am craving Korean/​Chinese food. As a note: come hungry and come with others. We usually end up sharing a bunch of items and stuff ourselves (since the portions are so big). They have really good options and everything that i have tried has been so good. Here are a few items:
–The dongkatsu is HUGE and comes with two sauce options (curry and dongkatsu sauce).
— jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) + jjambbong (spicy noodle soup) are on par. I love having these two together to balance out the two dishes.
— jjajang ddukbokki (black bean sauce + rice cake dish) — this has a good heat to it and is also very huge. It comes with ramen noodles in the dish as well. Very filling (lots of carbs: D)

Where to begin. The waiter I had could not answer a very basic set of questions. I asked how big one of their noodle bowls were. Now at most restaurants the waiter or waitress shows you with their hands a rough size of the bowl when you ask this. This guy said «uhhh…» Then pointed to a table where the patrons had small bowls and said «it’s that size. So not too big». Keep in mind I’m the only guy eating at my table. The bowl comes out and it’s big enough to serve six people maybe seven. Not only did he lie about it being «not too big» but he also couldn’t answer a question I brought up about the kind of noodle. I asked «what kind of noodle is used in this?» To which he replied «they all use the same noodle». Young man, I did not ask if they were all the same, I asked WHAT KIND OF NOODLE is in this dish.
Additionally I asked if they have beer. They don’t serve alcohol but that’s a minor disappointment at most. But when I asked for a soda it was brought out not from a fountain served cup, but with a cup and a can.
I don’t ask for any waiter to be smiley and bubbly although many waiters practice their skill with service to that extent. I get it, you’re paid minimum wage, you don’t enjoy this. But did I feel welcome in this business? No absolutely not. The female hostess that greeted me was friendly and warm. The kid who served me in his twenties… did not make me feel welcome in the slightest. Aside from being garbage at presenting the menu to me with the questions I asked he didn’t smile once, and rolled his eyes when coming to my table as if it were an inconvenience to him.
Lastly, this pathetic excuse for a waiter, when I paid with cash had the nerve to ask me if I wanted change. As if implying he deserved a tip. My total was $ 24.76. A massive charge for what I thought would be a noodle soup for one person but instead could’ve fed a whole family. As well as some chicken dish that didn’t even come with rice. I asked for rice and it came out in a very tiny bowl. After paying with thirty dollars and him assuming he deserved to keep my change he returned with my $ 5.24. I’m not sure why I left him $ 1.24. I feel like he didn’t deserve the 24 cents either.
That wasn’t the worst waiter experience I’ve had but it was down there with the level of outright incompetence. I’m not sure if he tried to scam me with the size of the noodle bowl by telling me it wasn’t «too big» or if he was just outright incompetent in the position of the most basic customer service skills. Mind you, I’m the only guy sitting at my table, so one would assume I’m interested in a noodle bowl for myself. I’m 5’8 and weigh 168 pounds. I don’t look like an overweight guy, and I clearly don’t look like someone who would eat a family size bowl of noodle soup.
My advice to this business, fire this guy. Not sure if he’s family you’re trying to help out or if he was actually someone you believed was qualified to work with customers but it’s obvious he is garbage in that role. I’ve had better service at a McDonald’s in the ghetto than I’ve had with this guy so that’s saying something. He may have better fortune working drive-​thru there.
On a positive note, I did like the atmosphere of the place. Clean, well organized. The menu was colorful and well put together, save for the fact that the summer stuff was still in there. But all around not a bad environment and setting. The food was also quite delicious. The lack of rice coming out to accompany my chicken was strange to me but I did like the food. It was very tasty. Just had trash for a waiter.

The name literally means «king of the sea palace». The Jam Bong, seafood is some of the best we’ve had, anywhere. Jajang myeon is extraordinary as is the Tan Su Yuk –beef. The is a gem of a restaraunt. Everything prepared fresh and properly cooked.
Perhaps the best Korean Chinese restaurants between the atlantic and pacific.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend with Korean roots. So my wife and I took our 81 year old Korean friend there for dinner. He had the noodles with black bean sauce. He said it was the best version of this dish he’s had in the US in 47 years. I had my favorite Korean dish, which is jambong and it was also very good. My wife ordered a vegetable dish with seafood and rice and she was also satisfied.
There were two waitresses. The one we had was charismatic, funny, and friendly. We liked her a lot. The other waitress who didn’t serve us seemed more serious.
The restaurant was clean, as was its bathroom. We had a good experience and will return for sure to try all their dishes.

I love my mom’s home cooking, but this is the place she likes to come when she’s feeling lazy.
The service has improved immensely, and the food is almost always on par. The food usually comes out pretty quickly, too!
Most of the noodle dishes here are good because they pull the noodles in house, so they’re going to be a lot more fresh than other places.
If you’re new to Korean/​Chinese cuisine and you are a Vegetarian, you can opt to get the Gan Jja Jang with no meat. Most of the other noodles dishes are prepared with beef/​chicken broth.
I usually get the Vegetable Gan Jja Jang or Vegetable Fried Rice. The fried rice is on the oily side (and sometimes salty side), but it really depends on the day… If you’re going to get fried rice, I would highly suggest asking for Jja Jang (black bean) sauce on the side and eating it together! Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Update: they recently added a Jja Jang Ddukbokki and it is amazinggg. It’s the spicy rice cake dish with the black bean sauce with ramen noodles too! It’s incredibly spicy, but I prefer it (x100) over the regular spicy rice cake. Yummmm.

i been here for a while
And i came back here this Sat and food here was amazing
Also Love there portion it always HUGE
I usually get don katsu but, this time i ask server to recommend me something and she told me to try a spicy seafood soup and it was little spicy but tastes of food was AMAZING!
Service here alway friendly and smiling all the time
Defiantly wanna go back again

We ordered pahl-​bo-​chae and kung pao shrimp for take out, totaling over $ 40. First, with the pahl be chae, there was hardly any seafood, the mussels were tiny cheap ones, but although with cheap ingredients like veggies and squid, i will give them the fact that portion size was good. m as for the kung pao shrimp, wow, portion was smaaaaaalll! Especially for the price.
Additionly… They did not even give us any rice! We called to let them know that we did not get any rice… Theyre response was «we do not serve rice with main dishes» WHAAAAAAT!!! Then she continues to say, «but if you asked we wouldve gave you some». Again… WHAAAAAAAT!!! I do not know of any chinese or even asian restaurants that do not give rice with every meal.
I will give them 2stars because taste-​wise, their food was good.
So remember… If you order main dishes, no rice, or bring your own rice!

If you are non-​korean, here are few tips on how to deal with Korean restaurants or Korean/​Chinese restaurant as this case
1: dont feel left out. You are welcomed as much as any other paying customers. They might prefer you since you wouldn’t be so demanding. Haha. jk
2: if they dont see you after few minutes of standing arpund, flag them down. You don’t need special words.
3: if you are not sure, ask the sever. Treat it kinda like phở restaurants. Most phở restaurants will never bring you the bill unless you ask for it. All else fails, walk up to the cashier.
4. These types of restaurants (noodle house catering to Koreans) usually serves condiments consisting of kimchee, pickled yellow diakon, sliced onions and jajang sauce base. If you want to look like local, put some vinegar all over the diakon and onions. If you need more, just ask. Flag them down!
* lastly, dont be shy and ask. I did!
P. s. on my recent visit, asked for beef ttangsooyuk (sweet and sour beef?) at $ 4 up charge. Wow.
