Yedang Korean Restaurant

If you’re in La Habra and looking for Korean food, I genuinely believe Yedang Korean Restaurant is the most recommendable spot in the area. This restaurant has been around for a long time, and you can really feel that history in the way they stay true to traditional Korean cooking. The flavors feel authentic and carefully preserved, without being overly modernized. At the same time, the service is warm and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is comfortable and pleasant. Everything I ordered was generous in portion and consistently delicious. Nothing felt rushed or careless. One thing that especially stood out was the complimentary side dishes. Compared to other Korean restaurants, the banchan here were cleaner in taste, more abundant in quantity, and offered in a wider variety—which really elevates the entire meal. If you live in La Habra or nearby and want to experience classic, traditional Korean food done right, this is the place to go. Personally, this is the Korean restaurant I recommend the most.

Yedang Korean Restaurant is such a gem! The food is authentic, flavorful, and tastes just like home-style Korean cooking. Every dish we tried was perfectly seasoned and served hot and fresh. The banchan were generous and delicious, and you can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Whether you’re craving classic Korean dishes or looking to introduce someone to Korean food, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend—will definitely be back! 🇰🇷✨

It’s my first time at this restaurant. They offer truly Authentic Korean food, I can tell, because customers are Korean and average middle age. The portions are so big which I couldn’t imagine. I needed to pack more than half for togo. The dishes are very fresh cooked, clean veggies and also a lots. The staff were very nice and helpful. Clean spacious seating for small and big group.

Ordered the nokdu jun and the galbijjim. I’ve been looking for the authentic taste of the nokdu jun like what my grandma use to make. My grandma used to have a really successful restaurant in Korea back in the 70s and was a great cook. So it’s always been hard finding that taste. This place is exactly like her cooking. I would definitely recommend this place. Looking at the average of of all of the customers (in their 50’s-70’s) attest to the authenticity of the cooking! The galbijjim was excellent too. Not overly salty or sweet. Just right.

YEDANG is a bustling restaurant packed with Koreans (weekends there is usually a wait). It’s a lot of Korean comfort food, but their best dishes are BRAISED. Must-try dishes include EUNDAEGU JORIM, a spicy braised black cod that's rich in flavour. There's also AGU JJIM, featuring monkfish braised with spicy sauce and bean sprouts. The fish is tender, and the sauce adds a delightful kick. These two perfect fish dishes are so good that even our toddler was eating it up. Not a fan of fish? The #2 YEDANG SPECIAL: MUKEUNJI DWAEJI GALBI JJIM is a hearty alternative. The MUKEUNJI, or aged kimchi, delivers a robust sour flavour, enhanced by a hint of chipotle smokiness. It's a delightful twist not often found in Korea. One dish that didn't live up to expectations was the YEDAG BOSSAM, which ended up being underwhelming and dry. However, the overall culinary experience at YEDANG is exceptional while combing traditional Korean flavors with more local ingredients like chipotle.

My favorite place for cold noodles in OC! Their galbi is amazing, and we always order both because their banchan alone is worth the trip. Definitely a local spot.

My friends and I love meeting up here for authentic Korean food. The service is efficient and friendly. The food is delicious. Parking may be a challenge, but we always manage to find parking. Food is reasonably priced. We often come back because the food is delicious!
