Yuk Dae Jang Irvine

Ever had a 3 star Michelin chef that’s a judge on Masterchef Korea cook you dinner? I know you wanna see what Chef Hoon Song served up. His special for the 3 day pop up at Yukdaejang in Irvine included his creative take of Korean Short rib patties, charcoal grilled, sauced up, and served with soybean soup & a ton of his favorite side dishes. 10/10 and it’s the next best thing to a fine dining experience I’ve had. I also tried Yuldaejang’s most popular eats like this savory kimchi and pork steamed mandu. Not to be outdone by their premium bossam in house special soy sauce. So much more flavor than others I’ve had. Finally the creamy brisket sullungtang soup with glass noodles to complete the feast for the night. One of the best solo dining experiences I’ve had

Ordered the beef short rib yuk gae Jang. It was delicious! Beef was super tender and fell off the bone. The only negative is they don't offer a lot of side dishes. Only 3..kimchi, chives and fish cakes. Other than that it was good. I'll be back when I'm on vacation again.

Love this Korean restaurant, everything on the menu is amazingly delicious!!!! You can’t go wrong with whatever you order there. I’ve visited it a couple of times and trying out different dishes. And everything I’ve tried just kept me going back. The Braised Spicy Premium Beef Rib with Flat Glass Noodle is on my top list !!!

It was mine and my husband’s first time trying the food here and let me just say it’s AMAZING!!! We got the army style hot pot and wow I don’t think Iv ever been more impressed! Everyone who worked there was also extremely kind and gave us aprons to cover our shirts with Definitely will be coming here again

Yuk Dae Jang in Irvine is a fantastic spot for Korean food lovers! The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, while the fish cakes were a delightful surprise. They’re not only delicious but also unlimited – we ended up enjoying five plates of them! The portions are generous, and the service is attentive, ensuring a great dining experience. Whether you’re craving hearty soups or tasty side dishes, this place is worth a visit. Highly recommended for a satisfying meal!

Came in for a quick lunch with a friend. Nice servers and quick food delivery made this a nice way to spend my money. Im heavily biased towards all Korean food so id tou want to venture away from the BBQ scene, highly recommend!

First time trying this Korean restaurant. The portions are huge! Loved the grilled beef—it’s a bit sweet and very flavorful. The army stew is super generous, perfect for this season! Great service too. Really good value for money.
