Yu Chun

Yu Chun Korean Restaurant


Don't know what to eat on a cloudy day? Naengmyeon, or Korean cold noodles, is the perfect choice! Naengmyeon is made from buckwheat or sweet potatoes so the noodles are often brown colored or tan. These type of noodles are especially chewy, so they cut the noodles in four before serving it to you. There are two types of naengmyeon, mul-naengmyeon and bibim-naengmyeon. Mul-naengmyeon is served in an icy broth along with cucumbers, slices of pickled daikon radish and a hard boiled egg. Bibim-naengmyeon is the exact same as mul-naengmyeon but served without the broth. Instead, it has a huge dollop of gochujang (hot pepper paste) which is mixed with sesame oil and sometimes a bit of ginger and garlic. It's often seasoned with vinegar and mustard. Just mix up the noodles until they’re coated with the sauce and dig in! Jadyne and Emily got the mul-naengmyeon while Estelle got the bibim-naengmyeon. This was the first time Estelle tried naengmyeon and she loved it! It was quite a different experience from other noodles and it stood out to her. Emily and Jadyne have had naengmyeon since they were little because it's a common Korean dish. This is a good meal to eat when its warm out, or just when you're feeling like eating noodles that are cold! We rated this restaurant at 10 out of 10! The food came out very quickly and the staff was very friendly. We would definitely go there again to satisfy our dry throats.
