A hole-in-the-wall comfort Chinese-Korean restaurant. There is no atmosphere to speak of.. but I do go out of my way to come here for Chachang-mein or Champoong. A staple I grew up with as a child. Don't expect any gourmet delicacy here. Just Korean Chinese comfort food - mostly noodles. If you are ok with that, I highly recommend the noodles here!

The family was in the mood for some Korean Chinese food and the place closer to my house was closed so we found this place. With good reviews we decided to try it. For those that grew up with Korean Chinese food, this place is just like what you remember from back in the day. They didn't try to modernize anything and just kept it as is, just like it's supposed to be. Everything was good and it tasted fresh. I usually don't order Mongolian beef as most times, the meat is very chewy, but it wasn't here. It was tender and flavored very nicely. We also ordered the Noodles with Black Bean Sauce Noodle aka Jajangmyeon. I liked it but it wasn't great. My family on the other hand thought that it was great. The Sweet & Sour pork and the Fried Shrimp with hot garlic sauce were crunchy despite us ordering to go. Their portion size was also good. I find most places charge more AND reduce the portion size but here, although the prices did increase, the portion size is still good. That's a big plus in my book. Overall, I would come back here again and would recommend it to others.

Craving for black bean noodle (jajangmyeon). This place has a very good rating and based on friend’s recommendation, we ordered jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork to go. Quick service, they kept the package opened until we arrived (to keep the food from getting soggy) and the taste…… super delicious. The go to place for black bean noodle.

This is the spot to pick up a mean bowl of the jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle) for around $10. Thick sauce and best to mix it up with the noodles right away before the noodles bloat up. Plenty of pork pieces too! The meal Includes the traditional kimchi, sliced onion, and sauce packets as the condiments. Great price and the order is ready really quick. So delicious and plenty of food!

I ordered take out from Hsiang Yuen tonight for the first time and WOW I will definitely be back. My order was black bean sauce noodles, beef chow mein, and orange chicken. The food was prepared and ready to go on time when I arrived. I was greeted like a family member and helped quickly with a smile. It made me feel good, like I chose a great restaurant who cares about all customers. When I got home I realized that the food was packaged in a very smart way. The orange chicken was separated from its sauce and so was the black bean and noodles. This method kept the food from being soggy, I was impressed. As I started mixing everything up... The aroma was mouth water. I was NOT surprised when every bite was top tier cuisine. They even threw in some delicious kimchi. Not too strong, just right. Both my wife and I agreed to rate this place five stars. We ate until full and still have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. I can't wait for those Thank you HY team. You earned a repeat customer tonight.

This place has Chinese and Korean food. Came here for the Chinese food and ordered sweet and sour pork, broccoli & beef, and shrimp chow mein. 4/5 Taste - Food was good and was quickly served after ordering. Food came out hot and had good amount of flavor. Not a lot of saltiness which is good! You can always add more to your taste. Also, the pork had a nice crisp bite to it. 4/5 Price - At first glance, the price may seem high. However, the portion sizes are huge. They are meant for sharing. The amount food given for the price is reasonable. Overall, a great place to eat for a quick bite with some friends or family. Restaurant is somewhat small, probably can only fit 20 people inside. I believe the owners or whoever works there speak Chinese and Korean. Definitely would have no problem coming again!
