This restaurant has the best jajangmyun “Black Bean Noodle” in the area. You will not be disappointed if you’re craving for jajangmyun. The foods were very authentic and were absolutely delicious! This is a family-owned by Korean husband and wife which I appreciate for Mom-and-Pop small restaurant. The owners were super nice and provided excellent service there. This place just got remodeled few years ago. It looks bright and clean now. You must try their sweet & sour pork and shrimp!Quick tips: Make sure you get the “Special” Black Bean Noodle for additional cost and thanks me later! It is totally worth the extra. There are many parking spots available as well as under ground parking.

The fried rice was better than the black bean noodles, despite the fact that the black bean noodles are their specialty. The noodles were over cooked.

Place was small but not that busy. Went in for a lunch around noon. Food came relativity quick. Got the black bean noodle combo with sweet and sour pork and it fed two people. Not bad, recommend for others to try.

Everything is fantastic especially the jajangmyung. great noodle texture (bounciness). the only downside is not enough dishes especially for vegan minded diners.

I really appreciate the care the restaurant owner took to prepare our food. His thoughtfulness was reflected in the little details from the way the tangsooyook sauce was garnished with purple cabbage and the little slices of zucchini on top of my noodles. On top of that, the restaurant was super clean. I think my favorite part was how crispy the tangsooyook was. I’m not sure I’ve ever eaten tangsooyook that crispy. The jajangmyun and fried shrimp were equally delicious. Thank you sajangneem for making our meal so delicious!

This restaurant is playing the trick of splitting reviews into two places.We ate at the restaurant, and the noodles were spread out.I asked for a change, and the changed side was overflowing with oil.The feeling of greasiness did not disappear until the next day after the meal, and the owner was not interested in the kitchen.

Excellent quality, price, generous portion, and friendly service. I wish I had discovered this hidden gem in Gardena a long time ago! I will definitely return many times over! The black bean noodles and spicy noodle soup are the two best dishes in town, hands down! During this time of Covid-19 pandemic, it offers delivery service through 4 major meal delivery service companies (if you have extra money to burn). There is ample parking so pickup is not an issue.---------(Update - April 2022) I recently placed a large takeout order and upon pickup, I learned all the prices went up whopping 35% from the last time I visited. Granted the food is still amazing as ever but will think twice about revisiting for a while.

The food is great! Whats really outstanding though is the COVID era packaging. Each item individually boxed, put inside a larger cardboard box, and taped down complete with a friendly sticker and instructions on how to best enjoy your food later. The free soda was wrapped in a napkin then foil so it stays cold and not wet with condensation. Serious amount of care put into making sure your boxes arent tipping over before you get home

Today 2/2/2021 was my first time trying this place. I found them online. I couldnt have been less impressed. The food was over price for the very small portions that we received and lacked flavor. I drowned my shrimps in ponzu sauce in an effort to eat it. I ended up throwing it out in the trash and eating cereal. For $67.13 I was VERY disappointed! My first and last time eating from here. The only good thing I have to say was the packaging was VERY covid friendly.

I love the price, i love the food, i love the service.This place is the best if you need a delicious yet wallet-friendly jjajangmyun.Also, their TangSooYook (sweet and sour deepfried pork) is freakin amazing.

This place is so good and is just as good or better than anything in Los Angeles. I love the jjajang myun here and the fried pork. The whole menu is amazing and the staff couldn’t be friendlier.

It’s really~ It’s really delicious!I liked that there wasnt a single taste of seasoning and the food was clean! The interior was really clean, so I ate it with peace of mind. Both the soybean paste and jjamppong were slightly spicy, so I didnt get tired of them and they were very delicious. The sweet and sour pork was also crispy and really good. Especially if you like jjamppong soup, be sure to come here!May you prosper, boss.

I stopped by for lunch while traveling in Seattle, and the lady who served me was cool and kind. She gave me a lot of food and was friendly, so I felt comfortable eating like I was at a regular restaurant in my hometown in Korea. thank you

When I miss Korean-style Chinese food, this is the place I always go to!This is a place where I am always healed by a bowl of Jjamppong with freshly fried and crispy sweet and sour pork🤭💕 This time, they served fried Jjamppong as a new menu item, and I tried it and fell in love with it because it was so delicious!!!The portions are plentiful, and they dont skimp on the seafood! Its absolutely perfect!!!🤤Its the perfect place to relax with a family meal, a meal with friends, or a meal alone! 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️✨️Recommended!!!

Stir-fried Jjamppong is really the best! There are a lot of shrimp and squid and the quantity is too much... . Definitely try tryThe sweet and sour pork is crispy yet soft.

Review №54

2023-10-27 20:01:30

Jjajangmyeon is so delicious, mapo tofu, and real fried rice. The sweet and sour pork (there is a lot of it), the non-spicy jjonbbong, and even the ag roll are really delicious. Also, the service was so friendly that I would like to go again.

Review №55

2019-11-10 06:42:12

Food that has a light taste without using any seasoning is good.The sauce is important in Jjajangmyeon, but if it is made well, you can enjoy it with the noodles.Ganjjajang is not bad. It has a little too much onion, but it is good because you can taste the unique taste of soybean paste.You can enjoy it even more deliciously by adding a little vinegar to it with an appropriate size of meat and mixing it well.I eat sweet and sour pork with dip~It has a nice crunchy texture.The dumplings were also fried well and crispy.This is a Chinese restaurant with good overall taste.Although there are only a few tables in the restaurant, there is a lot of demand for delivery.Friendly service is even better because it brings joy to customers.We are also holding a free soda event.I think you can refer to the events in the restaurant.Parking is free.Ill have to go again to try some cool Jjambbong.

I came because I was craving Jajangmyeon so much.The spicy tray Jajangmyeon is truly delicious.I was surprised that the food came out so quickly even after ordering, and the owner served it himself and was very kind.

This stir-fried jjamppong restaurant is delicious. The sweet and sour pork is also delicious. I highly recommend it!

Ive been here a few times when I used to run a business somewhere else, and the jjambbong they put in was reused from someone who had already eaten it (even the dried beef that had been eaten in their mouths). It was so outrageous and I was so shocked that he made such a fuss, so I didnt say anything and left the store and never went back, but as expected, it went bankrupt not long after. But I guess theyll move to a new location and start over. My mindset won’t be any different from then, so I think it will happen again soon. Its really a bad idea.

I searched for a nearby area on Google and went there, and it turned out that it had been newly taken over a month ago. They say they only prepare and sell the ingredients that day, and close when they run out of ingredients. I was lucky enough to arrive before the ingredients ran out!! Just taste the pork in sweet and sour pork and black bean noodles!! Let me find out. Absolutely fresh meat ♡ No odor at all. Especially Jjajangmyeon noodles... this is no joke. what? what? I was admiring the springy noodles, and when I asked about it, I found out that they pulled the noodles themselves. The machine costs $6,000. I dont know if theres a good side to it if it costs $6,000. I really cant forget the thickness and chewiness of these noodles. Not only was it delicious, but the owner had over 12 years of experience as a waitress. He read customers minds carefully and provided service that exceeded expectations. I became a regular right away.It was a short conversation during the meal, but I was enriched by meeting the owner who treated me with his heart and mind♡See you next time^^

The Jjajangmyeon is the best in America. The peeled shrimp is also excellent. The new Sacheontangmyeon has an amazing broth and is great with drinks.

Review №61

2021-12-03 08:23:37

The owners mindset is to care about TOGO food more than the people waiting for food inside....The most delicious Jjamppong in the world, the Jjajangmyeon that is not seasoned well... and the expensive food prices...Its a Chinese restaurant with 3 beats just right...wow...

Review №62

2017-11-26 19:54:15

The place has changed owners and is a mess.The price is rising and the taste is not good.The owner is far from friendly and I wonder if it is his wife.Customers who didnt tip are being scolded and this place is truly unlucky...

Review №63

2019-06-30 08:05:47

The Jjajangmyeon noodles are spread too thin and have no taste. The sweet and sour pork sauce is thick and not fresh because they give it prepared sauce. The udon noodles are cut so thinly that they cut the squid too thin to save on ingredients, so you cant taste the seafood.

Review №64

2018-08-03 13:44:50

The food tastes different every time. They have no basic manners. I told the owner that the jjamppong soup was not seasoned, and he responded as if it was obvious that the kid who works in the kitchen does that sometimes. As expected, he doesnt know whats wrong...

Review №65

2022-12-03 18:47:44

Even if you order black bean noodles in the store, the noodles come out burnt, which is the worst.
