Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Um Yong Baek consistently receives high praise for its authentic Korean comfort food, particularly its soups and grilled meats.

Many reviewers highlight the rich, comforting broth of the bone soup rice and the excellent combination of chewy noodles and smoky pork neck in the cold noodles.

The banchan (side dishes) are frequently mentioned as fresh and balanced, completing the meal experience.

While some find the signature thick pork soup with rice a bit bland initially, adding kimchi and spring onions is a common solution.

Service is often lauded, with staff like Thida and Lee noted for their attentiveness and knowledge, enhancing the dining experience by guiding first-timers through the menu and cooking process.

Be aware that BBQ is exclusively available in the evenings, and the restaurant does not take reservations, leading to potential queues.

Some patrons have also noted issues with the air conditioning, making the dining area warm.

We think it's a strong contender for authentic Korean cuisine, particularly for groups of 4-5 to enjoy the shared grill experience.

Worth the wait for a satisfying meal, especially if you appreciate attentive service.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while, but their pork broth soups are only available during lunch, as they switch to a different menu for dinner. We ordered the UYB Thick Daejigukbab, the…
