Yuyu Za Zang

This no-frills, Chinese-Korean, handmade noodle house has been serving the East Bay Korean community for decades. And the taste truly owns up to its namesake. The gan zazang (간짜장) ranks among the best globally, with a light smokiness that makes the sauce all the more satisfying. The jjamppong (짬뽕) broth, while full in flavor, wasn’t my favorite. The kkan-pung shrimp (깐풍새우) perfectly crispy, yet saucy, but the shrimp itself could have been bigger, given the price point.

Are you craving for some authentic Korean style Jjajangmyeon and Jjambbong? Then look no further, this place has got it down. Amazing food (they def use MSG like they're supposed to), great portions, and cheap! I ordered Jjam-jjamyeon which is like the half and half deal, and it was bomb. Definitely coming back if I'm in Oakland anytime soon.

Once again another quality food establishment that delivers on a consistent basis. I've been going here for 7 years and never have been disappointed. Now mind you there are other restaurants in close proximity that you can experience. But Chef Yu and his crew just do what they do and the food is spectacular. If you're in the area of 51st and telegraph and have develop a taste for quality Chinese food, baby just go there and give it a try, you don't even have to tell them that I sent you!! The food is just damn good, you'll see your taste buds will tell you what I'm talking about

Authentic 짜장면 (black bean noodle). The black bean sauce has some sweetness to it and the noodles are hand pulled. Honestly nothing better than some hand pulled noodles. Their 짬뽕 is also good. If you go here, I do recommend getting the 깐풍기 (spicy fried chicken) or at least the 탕수육 (Tangsuyuk - crispy fried pork).

My first impression of this Korean Chinese restaurant was not clean. I had ordered several dishes to go. Noodles dishes were average, and some of the seafood in the noodle soup didn't taste fresh. I wish they used fresher oil to fry Tang-su-yuk(sweet and sour pork) because the batter was dark with spots.
