Yuk Dae Jang Rowland Heights - 육대장 로렌하이츠

Yukdaejang Rowland Heights was a great surprise! The beef bone broth is clean and flavorful, not greasy at all, and the beef short ribs are generously portioned and incredibly tender. The bulgogi is well-marinated and juicy, and the buckwheat cold noodles are refreshing and perfectly balanced. Portions are large, prices are reasonable, and the complimentary side dishes are refillable. Very authentic Korean flavors—highly recommended if you’re craving comforting, high-quality Korean food.

Stopped by after visiting Hsi Lai Temple and was pleasantly surprised! Braised Beef Short Rib Hot Pot: Rich, flavorful, not greasy, and the beef is incredibly tender. The glass noodles soak up the broth perfectly. Honestly tastes better than Sunnongdan and at a better price. Soft Tofu & Beef Soup: Classic Korean comfort — moderately spicy, slow-cooked, and very warming. Service: Staff were amazing with my toddler. They picked different lollipop flavors for him and even brought a small ice cream to help him settle down. Truly kid-friendly! Portions are huge, value is great, and the broth is outstanding. I’d totally drive from Irvine again just to eat here.

It’s really hard to find pork belly in the U.S. without any unpleasant smell, but Yuk Dae Jang never disappoints. Their steamed pork belly is no gaminess at all, tender, rich but not greasy, and naturally sweet. The new Rowland Heights location is spacious, bright, and much more comfortable than the old small shop. We also tried the beef rib stew and pollock roe soup, both looked simple but tasted surprisingly deep and flavorful. Great spot for both group meals and solo dining if you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food.

I’ve heard about Yuk Dae Jang for a while and always thought I had to go to K-Town for it, so I was happy to see they opened one in Rowland Heights. Finally stopped by, and it turned out to be a really solid experience. We ordered the Beef Short Rib Stew, and the portion size was honestly impressive. One big pot easily feeds 3–4 people. The ribs were tender and came right off the bone, and the veggies and noodles soaked up all the flavor as we kept eating. It’s the kind of dish that just gets better the longer it sits. Big plus for the service too — the staff came over to help cut and debone the ribs for us, which made everything way easier. Small thing, but definitely appreciated. We also tried the Ox Leg Bone Soup with blood sausage. Even though it’s a clear broth, it still had a lot of depth and felt really comforting. Perfect for a cooler day. The handmade dumplings were simple but good — thin skin, decent filling, and they went great with the soup. Price-wise, I think this place is very reasonable for what you get. A lot of Korean stew spots can get pricey for groups, but here the portions and quality make it feel worth it. Not a flashy, over-the-top place — just good food, good portions, and a place I’d actually come back to. And honestly, that short rib stew alone is enough of a reason to return.

The popular Korean chain Yukdaejang— with over 100 locations in Korea — has finally opened in Rowland Heights! It’s conveniently located next to Stater Bros supermarket, with plenty of parking. Their signature Beef Soup (YukGaejang) is a must-try. It comes with a variety of side dishes and your choice of white or purple rice. I went with the classic Korean spicy beef soup, and it did not disappoint — the broth is rich and deeply flavored from hours of slow simmering, packed with tender beef and glass noodles. Tasted just like the one I had in Korea! The menu is quite extensive. Besides the beef soup, they offer braised short ribs, bossam, cold noodles, dumplings, and various stews. We also ordered the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Rib w/ flat glass noodles and the portion was HUGE. Served bubbling hot in the pot, it felt so comforting. The staff kindly helped cut the ribs and pumpkin into smaller pieces. Compared to Sunnongdan, the meat here was more tender and the price was even more reasonable. The stew also comes loaded with carrots, rice cakes, pumpkin, glass noodles — all soaked in that savory-sweet sauce. We couldn't finish it and ended up taking a lot home. Great deal alert: Throughout this month, the Rowland Heights location is running weekday dine-in specials that are seriously worth checking out. Highly recommend if you’re craving hearty, authentic Korean stews!

A fantastic Korean spot in Rowland Heights! I came in with low expectations and left totally impressed. The Tteokgalbi (collab with a Michelin-starred chef) is a must—juicy, charred beef patty that’s so satisfying. The Budae Jjigae was rich and cheesy, with ramen that soaked up all the amazing broth. The dumpling + soondae combo was also great, especially the kimchi dumplings. For four people, it was about $100 per person, and we were stuffed. This isn’t a flashy Instagram spot—it’s the kind of warm, delicious Korean food you’ll crave again and again. Highly recommend!

They’re refreshing and cut through the richness, and you can get free refills. Army Stew When it arrives, the pot is packed with ingredients—it’s incredibly impressive! Spam, soft tofu, and cheese rice cakes are all soaked in a sweet and spicy broth. The Shin Ramyeon added at the end is coated in melted cheese, and one bite is simply divine. General’s Beef Short Rib Stew Meat lovers, don’t miss this! The thick-cut beef short ribs are stewed until tender and flavorful, with pumpkin, carrots, and mushrooms absorbing the rich meaty essence. The glass noodles are chewy and smooth, and it comes with a portion of purple rice that you can mix with the stew sauce to devour two big bowls. The portions are huge, enough for 2–3 people to share. Korean Lettuce Wraps with Pork Belly The glistening, marinated pork belly is layered generously, carrying a subtle herbal aroma. The meat is so tender it falls off the bone. Serve it with lettuce, garlic slices, and Korean gochujang for wrapping. It’s the perfect way to cut the richness and is incredibly satisfying. This restaurant is definitely on my list of hidden gem Korean spots in Rowland Heights! The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, the prices are great, and parking is convenient. No need to make a long trip to K-town!
