Yuk Dae Jang San Diego / 육대장 샌디에고

Phuong Dang a week ago

Yuk Dae Jang is famous for their warm stews, but don't sleep on their cold dishes! Their Brisket Spicy Cold Bibim Noodle is the perfect cold spicy noodles for hot weather. The buckwheat noodles have a great chew, the brisket is delicious, and the spicy sauce hits the spot without being overpowering. The service was fast and friendly, and they have a great parking lot which is rare for the area. Perfect summer comfort food!

While the family trip in San Diego, my son was looking for some Korean food. We couldn’t find a good Korean restaurant, but this place caught our eyes. My son tried the yuk gae jang. He told it’s a little spicy but it’s good to have, not super spicy. I ordered non-spicy one just in case it’s too spicy, but it’s not. Also we ordered dumplings. I could have only one because my 9 year old son had all except 2 left for me and wife. We really enjoyed the food. We plan to visit here again before we back home.

Wonderful restaurant! The manager, middle aged woman is so sweet. She took my order while I was waiting outside, as soon as I sat down, food was brought out. The soup had the perfect balance of heat and flavor. Definitely hit the spot. 5/5

Exceptional quality in every way, a luxury hidden gem! Stopped in for lunch and ordered Yukgaejang with soft tofu and purple rice(!), the broth was exceptionally flavorful with slow cooked brisket and egg and paired wonderfully with the rice, I couldn’t put it down! Matching gold chopsticks spoons and bowls was a nice touch. Probably the best Korean soup spot in town. Prompt service and very friendly. All under $25 with tax tip! I’ll definitely be back with friends :)

A casual Korean chain specializing in Yukgaejang and Seolleongtang but they also have fresh, perfectly cooked purple rice, do a great bossam, and have delicious galbi patties! I love wrapping my bossam in perilla leaves. Upon looking at the pictures on Google amd social media, it didn't seem that they offered perilla leaves so we came prepared 🤭 Upon ordering, I asked our server if they had perilla leaves and he said no so I nicely asked if it was okay that we brought our own. He said it was fine 🙂 We actually went back the next night to eat more soup!!! The owner/manager was so kind and friendly.
