Among the standout dishes, the Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) has earned a reputation as the best in Pennsylvania, according to customer Casey Cha. This dish, known for its perfectly balanced harmony of sweetness and tartness, is a must-try. Equally delightful is the Jjamppong, a spicy noodle soup that leaves a lasting impression on those who dare to indulge.
Jajangmyeon, with its various renditions, is another treat not to be missed. Jonathan Tan, a loyal patron since 2009, swears by the bul-jajang, which packs a spicy punch that keeps you coming back for more. And for those who enjoy dumplings, the fried mandoo here is crispy and savory, making it a perfect appetizer.
For a fresh take, consider trying the Yangjiangpi, a dish that offers a refreshing balance of savory flavors, topped with a delightful mustard sauce. As noted by Chen Kaijie, each ingredient shines in its own right, harmonizing beautifully without being overpowering.

Lovely dine in experience at this family restuarant. The food and service are both authetic. Each dish is flavored well, no flavor is over powering and each complimented the ingredients well. We items we ordered and the prices are pictured below. Given the very large portion sizes and the fresh ingredient quality, the price is very good as well. We would definitely come back next time :)

My favorite Korean Chinese food place! Jjajangmeon and jjampong are their signature on the menu, so you gotta try it! Tangsuyuk might be too sweet for the first time trying, but I always get it as a side dish. Servers are very nice and fast.

I come here for the jajangmyeon (they have several types) and fried mandoo dumplings. Haven't really tried anything else. Been coming here since 2009 or so. My favorite is the bul-jajang that is spicy.

If you enjoy authentic Korean homie food, this would be a great option. We had yangjiangpi which is both refreshing and savory. Love the mustard sauce on top! I like Tangsu Saewoo because the flour is light and airy. Ganjajang is also flavored well and not overpowered. The potion overall is generous with very reasonable price. The owner and waitress are super nice. Will come again!
