" First time dining here and I was impressed! The jajangmyeon was great—perfectly cooked noodles and a flavor-packed sauce. My friend had the fried rice and said it was one of the best he’s had. The service was quite attentive, although the ambiance left a bit to be desired. The prices were reasonable, and the portion sizes were generous. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for good, authentic food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yen Jing is an experience! I walked in not expecting much, but left completely impressed. The spicy seafood noodle soup was a delightful surprise. My friends ordered the hot and sour soup and they loved it too. The service was pretty attentive although it did get a little busy. The food was a tad too salty for my taste, but still very tasty. Don’t let the unimpressive decor fool you, this place has incredible food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Yen Jing and each time it feels like a delightful homecoming. Being Asian-American, I often long for the traditional flavors of my childhood, and this restaurant does a stellar job of providing that. The jajangmyeon and Korean-style fried rice are to die for! The authenticity is evident in every bite. Plus, the bonus of complementary kimchi while you wait adds to the overall experience. Although the decor is somewhat outdated and could be cleaner, the food quality outweighs those downsides. I can’t wait to return with my family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I regret not trying Yen Jing sooner! The dishes are flavorful and comforting. My top recommendation would have to be the dumplings; I can't stress how good they are! Don't let the old interior deter you, as the quality of the cuisine is truly where this restaurant shines. The wait staff was also friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Will definitely be returning for another round of delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent traveler to Korea, I am always on the lookout for authentic Korean food and Yen Jing does not disappoint. I tried their hot pepper pork and was pleasantly surprised by how well they prepared it! Everything was fresh and flavorful, reminiscent of the dishes I enjoyed while abroad. The only downside was the environment which could definitely use some uplift. However, if you are more focused on the food, you'll find it hard to complain - they really know how to please the palate. I would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for quality Korean cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to Yen Jing, I indulged in a variety of dishes, including their famous sweet and sour chicken. While I found the chicken itself delightful, the accompanying sauce was far too sweet for my liking. I felt that it overpowered the dish. The service was decent—not too slow, but also not particularly attentive. The environment wasn't fancy at all, which didn't bother me much since I prioritized good food. I think I’d give it another try under different circumstances. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Yen Jing on my culinary journey around Buford Highway and I couldn't be happier. The moment I walked in, the aroma of spices hit me and I felt an immediate sense of comfort. I ordered their Jiajangmyeon and was blown away. The noodles were chewy, and the sauce was rich and full of flavor. Even my husband, who is usually lukewarm on Asian cuisine, loved it! The service was attentive yet unobtrusive, with the staff checking in just enough. I definitely recommend it for anyone craving authentic Chinese-Korean food. " (*Curated Review*)
