Yuraku Japanese Germantown, Md

The yook gae jang (spicy beef and vegetable soup) and kkakdugi are a must-try at this restaurant. The heat level is just right and they provide plenty of napkins. You will quickly fall in love with the diverse flavors and textures of this kitchen.

I ordered the spicy beef tofu stew (beef sundubu) on UberEats and it arrived perfectly! I have been craving sundubu since the pandemic began, and while it's not quite the same as eating in person, the soup is hot, flavorful, and delicious, filled with tender beef, tofu, and zucchini. It also came with rice and a side of kimchi. When my order was delayed due to Uber having trouble finding a delivery driver, the restaurant called me to give me an update on my food, which was very thoughtful of them.

As a Korean visitor from Korea, I found the dining experience at this restaurant to be enjoyable and unique. The portion sizes were generous and the food arrived quickly. It seemed like some of the dishes were pre-made, as the spicy stir-fried beef had a slightly stale taste. The side kimchi was outstanding. The staff was friendly and I would definitely return to this restaurant when I am in the area again.

I used to love ordering out from here because it's like korean home comfort food. However, to echo another review, the male owner is extremely rude. Really takes away from the home cooked meal feel of it all.

This place is awesome! Good prices, big dishes and the staff members are consistently kind.
