Its small in size but feels very clean.The servers are also fast and friendly.In particular, the jjamppong is large in size, plentiful, and the ingredients are fresh.If you want to eat Korean-style Chinese food, go there.

If you are looking Chinese Korean restaurant, this is it. Hidden gem. Reasonable price with very good portion. Owner and servers are very kind. My favorite is pork tang sooyook, jengban jjajang and shrimp fried rice. This is good for 3 people but for big eater like us, we almost can finish it )

I dont know why the rating is so low. Every time I go here with my husband, we order 3 dishes. The portion of stir-fried jjajang, fried rice, tangsuyuk is pretty big, but it‘s so delicious that I eat it all every time. The staff is always friendly and there are a lot of people every time we go.

Best Jjamppong in the area. All the seafoods were fresh and delicious and soup was deliciously spicy. JJajangmyun(Black Noodle) was ok but nothing special.

This place has gray black bean noodles aka jjajangmyun. As well as the spicy seafood noodles, The broth was very refreshing and you can definitely taste the seafoodness. The service is great. Food came out fast. The workers are kind. Good food, good service. Cant ask for more.

I ordered some fresh noodles and rice to top up a dish I was preparing at home, the staff is all friendly and it was not busy on a Sunday evening. My food was great, and very eco friendly and sturdy packaging

Stir-fried Jjamppong is tasty. I love the sensation of chewing the noodle and the sprouts together: chewy noodle and crunch sprouts. Its like Pho noodle soup but without soup. But rather spicy and tasty red hot sauce.Oh, its chewy spicy crunch hot flavor was totally a new sensation for me, a noodle lover.This halfway cooked bean-sprout is so good when its chewed with jjamppong noodle that it makes me want more and more.Personally, Id like to add a little more of bean sprouts to increase the crunch tastes to it.Maybe, Ill ask to add a bit more of sprouts on my dish, next time.

Food was great. Small menu, which means they specialize in specific items. Our family enjoyed it. It was a little hot inside, but that was the only thing that was uncomfortable. Everything else was great.

Its OK for a quick bite but no fireworks!!Price is reasonable. Their food had lots of MSG. Tried their Jjajang - since its the name of the restaurant - it was just OK. Food is a bit on the junkie side

We had the TangSuYu, Shrimp GampunGi, jjampong, Mando, jjagangJungMyun. It was really good! Top notch fried disses (TangSuYu and GampunGi)! The seafood noodles (jjampong) were fresh plentiful and rich! The black bean noodles (jjagangJungMyun) were close to the best I ever had! (Only thing missing would be they were not scratch made noodles). Not my favorite atmosphere (but that is preference. Nothing wrong with the place. It fit the cuisine. )

Jajangmyun was soso. The sauce was already made, sitting in a pot just warm. Jampong was not bad. Both had good noodle though. Tansuyuk sauce was lukewarm, already made sitting in a pot just as jajang sauce. It was super pasty.

Great food. Once you visit Korean-Chinese restaurants, have jjajang noodles. Then you will know the rest of the dishes. It was great. So Ill visit again soon for sure. One thing they need to improve on is the restroom. Stinks.

The noodle dishes are good, but beware that it takes them a long time for take out orders. We had to wait over 40 minutes to get our order that was phoned in and were told that the order would be ready in 25mins.

It used to be delicious, but the more I go, the less it tastes. As the store gets busier, the service and taste deteriorate. I went there many times because I remember how delicious it was at first, but now I wont go back. At the end, I was eating noodles, and I left the check on the table. I went because the store was going to be busy, so I felt like it was given to me to eat quickly and leave. Really, really, really, dont go. You will regret it.

I like jjamppong but this orange chicken is very disappointed. This is not a orange chicken. Panda orange chicken is better then here

Finally, I found best Jjambbong. I really recommend this restaurant.

A little pricey but the portions matched the price tag! Each portion was two meals for us.This is a Korean take on Chinese food if youve never had it before... Thats probably why you see orange chicken on the menu.I got the jjampong and shrimp tangsuyuk. The jjampong tastes great, Id say its on the more medium side of the spiciness like a slow burn. The flavor of the soup and texture is great, but as a non-korean, I cant taste the difference between this and those seafood soups in the ceramic pot.The shrimp tangsuyuk is fried well. Reminds me of the Chinese honey walnut and shrimp(just the shrimp). The sauce is like a general tsos sauce, which I dig. Like a lot of fried foods, Id say you have a 20 minute window to eat it for this to go from really freaking good to just ok. Otherwise the fried batter gets cold and a hard, and thats the majority of what you taste.Kind of a niche restaurant, but Id go back!

I think I found my favorite Korean Chinese restaurant in OC! Tried the stir-fried jjajangmyeon ($15.99) and kkanpoong shrimp ($24.99) and both were very good. Portions were generous with quality ingredients. I liked how both of the dishes didn’t taste super sugary or salty like a lot of the other Korean Chinese restaurants.Will definitely come back to try their other dishes.There is a free parking lot in the plaza but it did seem very hectic. There’s also free street parking as well.

Pretty bad service. Spent $100 for dinner including take out items, food didn’t come out together, ate one dish, another dish come out, they still didn’t serve appetizer that we ordered after the last dish. The servers never apologized. There’s some debris found on their napkins and the server blamed napkin company as they only opened the package to give them to customers, another means that that’s not their fault, again she never apologized. Do I call the napkin company then, is it what she meant by it? Nasty staffs. Making excuses for their fault. Ordered black noodles to go, came home n found no sauce, only noodles. Called them, a lady answered. In the middle of my explanation, she cut me off to say Yes in Korean and told me to come back, omg. The way she says Yes in Korean was not even funny. Gave her my name just in case I go back there to eat. She didn’t care about what I brought home to feed my son. Hung up the phone with disappointment.

Hands down, the best jjamppong in OC. For a little bit of a premium ($16 as of 2022), you get premium ingredients (crab included!!!) and big portions

Ok food. Price seems a little high compared to other Korean-Chinese food. Not sure Id ever order here again.Response to reply: I disagree on the mention that it has bigger portion. Also, jjajang sauce seems to be premade. I am not saying the food is bad, its ok, just considering the price, quality can be better.

For lunch, I have decided to stop her with my mom before going grocery shopping. My mother had Jja Jang Myun (black bean noodles). I had their Jjam Pong (Mildly Spicy Seafood Noodles). Plus, we ordered a side of fried dumplings. I was very surprised to taste the freshness and just the right about of spice for my dish. Waiter was very polite. I am sure my mother will bring my dad here next. I shall return too.

There are not many seats and tables here. However, I come often because the food here is well worth the wait. The servers working here are also friendly.

First time visit. Their Jaengban Jjajang does not taste like Jjajang. Not recommend. Jjamgbbong was good. Service was great.

2022-02-12 12:43:46

Dishes reak of bleach. Not well rinsed. Their name is “Jajang” but their jajang is just “okay”. Other dishes tasted better tho. But I went for jajang, and their name seems to be misleading..

On the phone, they said it would take 15-20 minutes to pick up a menu item, and ended up taking 50 minutes. Be ready to waste your time waiting.

The weather was chilly and I was craving soup, so I stopped by. Its by far the best Jjamppong Ive ever had.The people who work individually are friendly and the amount of money is enormous. You seem to be kind-hearted too. Highly recommended!!

The Jjajang Jjamppong was really delicious.It was nice that the serving lady took care of everything we needed without stopping for a moment.If I lived nearby, I would probably come here every day for a while. its a shame. There is a restaurant like this in my neighborhood...ㅠㅠ

Review №57

2022-04-29 23:09:36

Well, when it first opened, I came here three times and didnt come back because the taste wasnt very tasty, but when I came back in the last few months, I enjoyed the Jjajangmyeon, fried Jjamppong, shrimp fried rice, and pork kimchi all without fail. The basic Jjamppong soup wasnt my type. Pass^^ I think it would be better if it was more spicy. The person serving the hall has changed to a man, and he seems to be very proactive and clean. It tastes even better when you come and eat after just serving.

Review №58

2023-04-02 04:53:08

When I eat jjamppong, I always think, “It tastes spicy yet clean.” As you eat it, you can feel the true taste of the chewy noodles and the savory taste of fresh seafood.It tastes good, so I recommend trying it next time!

Review №59

2023-04-21 19:31:21

The Jjambbong was okay, but I wouldnt recommend the Jjajangmyeon. The sweet and sour pork was expensive compared to the quantity, and the Kung Pao chicken was the worst in terms of price and taste. I think it would be good for the stores image to remove this from the menu. Service was okay.

Review №61

2022-07-07 20:44:32

The seasoning of the Jjambbong is so bad that it tastes like water and the noodles smell like flour... The sweet and sour pork is fried like fried squid and it all sticks together and comes out in clumps... Hahaha this is my first time leaving Jjambbong...

Review №62

2022-05-17 15:02:27

I went to Jjinjjajang after being introduced to it by an acquaintance. The Jjajangmyeon tastes savory and sesame powdered! Perfect match with fried dumplings!^^Personally, I like the sweet and sour pork to be chewy, so I only gave it 4 stars. I enjoyed it.

Review №63

2022-01-29 04:56:46

I took out Jjajangmyeon, but the noodles were cold. The sauce and the rest made me feel like I was eating something that someone ordered and didnt bring. I tried a few chopsticks and then threw them away. I called and asked and they said thats how it was.When I went in person and ordered various things, the owner treated me kindly, but perhaps because I only ordered one thing, Jjajangmyeon, the owner was unfriendly.You just threw it away without telling me to take it.

Im salty. I like jjambbong a little too muchIn LA, I categorically say this place is the most delicious.I came from a little far away (Diamond Bar), but I think I will come often... The owner of a famous restaurant in San Bernardino recommends that you come and try it once.

Very clean! 👍🏻🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 starsI tried it 3 times after opening and Im posting a review.Its so close to home, so its so so so good.Its a 3-minute drive from my house, so I love it.Taste😻Price😺Cleanliness😺 Submission time is usually 10-15 minutes.Food should be eaten while its warm, its delicious.In particular, the spots are thin, so you have to eat them quickly.Jjamppong is also spicy and has a lot of volume.Also, this place serves rice as a one-pot service.Hahahaha Its really good.Some people say its not clean...Its really clean and tidy here.!!! The store has just opened, so everything is new and the staff are friendly.And I recommend the sweet and sour pork here 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Its chewy. The tempura is really delicious.I insist. If you use oil, it doesnt taste that good.It tasted like sweet and sour pork.Personally, this is the first delicious restaurant in OC.This is the most delicious restaurant in OC.👍🏻It is very clean and you can receive warm food quickly. 😋The price is normal.togo 10 minutes....

OMG! Nobody wearing masks including kitchen staff. It was unpleasant because it wasnt clean. The people working in the kitchen were not wearing masks, and the same was true for those working in the kitchen. After protesting a few times, I finally started wearing a mask.
