Customer Reviews

"I have ate Korean dishes all over the world. SouthKorea, Guam and many hole in the wall places in the States, Yong's holds up with some of the best for flavor and service. We have been eating here for years for the take-out. Recently we sat down and that's when the full effect happened. Full portions of Banchan and multiple dishes served. The food comes out hot and fresh with full flavor. The service is the best in the area. This is our go to spot for Korean cuisine."

"I can't recommend this restaurant enough! As someone who grew up with a Korean grandmother cooking me traditional dishes, stepping into this place immediately felt like home. The atmosphere is warm and inviting: dim lighting, beautiful artwork on the walls, and light K-pop playing softly in the background all made it feel like a little escape. The food was absolutely delicious and tasted just as authentic as the meals I grew up with. The quality is outstanding, and the service was just as impressive. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive, and we had a very short wait time. It's clear how much care and love this family-owned restaurant puts into everything. If you're looking for authentic Korean food paired with a cozy, welcoming vibe, or a quick to go snack from their market, this is definitely the spot for you."

"Was recommended this restaurant by Hotel staff. First time eating here, although this storefront has been numerous restaurants throughout the decades. The young lady was extremely friendly and the restaurant doesn't have the oder that O'mas has. Ordered food to go and it's definitely cooked to order. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that good in my opinion. Kinda bland would describe the experience. I would recommend the Asian store before the restaurant.. Plotted. Scouts Out."

"Ordered dinner bulgogi and yook gae jang through app. This was probably my fifth delivery... all of them with 3 and below rating personally. Not sure if it was different chef from all other great reviews here but my experiences weren't good at all. I am Korean, so I know how korean food tastes even with different styles of recipes around Korea this was a bit disappointing. Dinner beef bulgogi portion was very small and lacked flavors (picture for comparison). Yook gae jang soup lacked flavors as well, which I had to add more ingredients. Kimchi was okay, it was more like pork bosam kimchi. Not sure if the food flavor quality/quantity changes depending on the chef of the day. All in all, as a Korean myself and to give my honest review, experiences with the food here was a bit disappointing."
