Yuk Dae Jang
Our verdict
Yuk Dae Jang is a practical pick for Korean comfort food in Houston’s Chinatown / Sharpstown area, especially when soup, dumplings, and hearty shared dishes sound better than barbecue or a long tasting-menu meal. Go for Original Yukgaejang first, then add Braised Spicy Beef Ribs, Bossam, or Dumpling and Rice Cake Soup if the table is sharing.
