Young King

Young King is an unassuming neighborhood banquet spot that’s been serving Koreatown’s best Korean-style Chinese food since the 80s. Once you pile into the pale green booths, know that there are a few must-order staples here: jjajangmen, a.k.a noodles in a sweet-salty caramelized black bean sauce, and the tangsuyuk, light-as-air crispy fried pork with sweet and sour sauce on the side. On weekends, the room will be filled with families sharing dinner, so you might have to wait a bit, but you can walk right in on weekdays.
