Very delicious. I have been in search of this style of food since I moved to the bay. Ever since I was a little kid I have always loved jjajangmyeon. This is some of the best. The meal was definitley enchanced tenfold by the tangsuyuk. The lingering taste of the tangsuyuk and the jjajang were a very beautiful harmony. Yim Yum.

This Korean-style Chinese restaurant located in Oakland, California, offers a variety of delightful dishes such as Tangsu-yuk (sweet and sour pork), fried dumplings, Jjajang-myon (black bean paste noodles), and Jjampong (spicy seafood noodles). The fried dumplings were exceptional, boasting a crispy exterior and a succulent, well-seasoned filling of pork and vegetables. The sweet and sour pork was equally impressive, with a delightful blend of sweetness in the sauce complementing the perfectly fried pork strips. While the noodle dishes were enjoyable, the texture of the noodles did not quite meet expectations, lacking the desired hand-stretched quality. The green chili sweet potato noodles provided a tasty kick with hot chili. The service was excellent, though there is room for improvement in the restaurant’s overall ambiance to elevate the dining experience.

The service was pretty standard. I wasn’t really expecting this style of jajang mian maybe because this one is more Korean and not as Chinese like I’m used to, or this is the more traditional kind? The noodles were pretty chewy which was fun but the sauce was too much and I’m not sure what the flavor was but it was maybe too overwhelming with not enough substance or toppings in it.

Small, cozy restaurant serving a tasty fusion of Chinese and Korean food. If you’re nearby, please do stop by and support this business! The poached dumplings were delicious!

Home-made style Korean Chinese dishes that are yummy and in huge portion. I am impressed with how the family runs the restaurant with such energy and high quality. Given the size of the dishes, I think the price is reasonable.

Loved the chicken fried rice, very flavorful. The sweet and sour pork was nice but more on the average side, could have been crispier although we did get takeout so it would probably be better fresh. Could’ve been spicier though.

Good selection of menu and better than other similar restaurants. Possibly best in bay area for Chinese-Koeran style food. One caution on parking, very hard to find safe place.

Took a native Korean here. Jajangmyeon was very disappointing. Lacked flavor and ingredients. Kul Jjampong and Tangsuyuk are decent, satisfies the cravings but not impressive.

Easily the best Korean-Chinese cuisine we’ve had in the east bay and San Francisco. We’ve tried several spots near this neighborhood but nothing beats this spot for Zha Zhang Mian and Fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce. Awesome price, quick service, and delicious bites.
5/5

Clientele was all Korean during my late Sunday lunch here; always a good sign.
Yuyu is not a “Chinese” restaurant in the American sense but is a “Korean-Chinese” joint. This style of food was developed by Chinese immigrants from Shandong to Korea and is highly popular in Korean communities across the world.
There aren’t many Korean-Chinese places in the bay that are good but this is one of them. Both the classics ganjjajang and tang su yuk were excellent. The meat in the ganjjajang was SO tender and the tank su yuk was fried perfectly.
