Food is okay. I can say that there's a lot of MSG that was put in. Servings are huge per dish 2-3 people can eat. Read that pajun with seafood was good that was why I was expecting a lot but it did disappoint it was bland for my liking and the sauce was on a salty side, I tried better ones.Kimchi-jjigae is my favourite among all. They served it on boiling hot pot and 2-4 people can share it. Spicy level was on point. Was able to take home some left overs and satify my cravings paired with warm white rice.Side dishes were good. Server said they change 1-2 sides they serve everyday. Was able to take home left overs too.The place is not that fancy like other korean restaurants around but I get it is a family owned restaurant so it has a homey vibe.Prices are also reasonable for the portions compared to other restaurants, 3 dishes for $60 for us. Per meal costs around $12-25. Take note there's already white rice per meal (e.g. donkatsu, kimchi-jjigae) so no need to order.Overall, our experience was good but not the best probably will be trying some other korean restaurants around next time.Note: You need to call beforehand. They dont accept walk-ins and they close at 8pm!

This was our first visit to Young's. We were very happy with the meal and service. There was not a single thing I would change. I gave a 4 to the atmosphere. There is nothing wrong with the place, its very simple and purpose built. We will absolutely go back.

Young's is my favorite Korean in the area. Everything is always so fresh and delicious. By far the best banchan, I can't get enough of the spicy cucumbers. They still require advanced reservations, which means no spontaneous trips, but if you plan ahead, the food never disappoints. Favorites include the tteokbokki, japchae and fried chicken.

The customer service was highly disappointing. The server failed to clarify their policy against walk-ins, allowing us to enter and be seated before requesting we leave. There was no apology offered, leaving the impression that we were at fault.

Best place for Korean food in Rochester ♡ such good comfort food. People who work there are soooo considerate and sweet

I did not get a chance to try the food because they wouldn't let us sit down without a reservation. It is not displayed online that you need a reservation and they do not have a website. If the owner reads this, consider changing your policy. There were only 3 tables taken & they told us "tonight is full". I don't think I'll return.

This place is legit. Make sure you call ahead with a reservation. It was just me and my fellow white friend surrounded by Korean American families. Service was fast and efficient. It's not gorgeous in there by Western standards during the day buy the food makes up for it!
Absolutely delicious. Service was amazing. So attentive. Wonderful food and great service. Wow so reasonable!! Thank you for a perfect meal.

You go here to eat the best home style Korean food in the area. The ajhussi who cooks and the ahjumma who runs the front treat you like family. I’m not going anywhere else for Korean food.

This is probably the best Korean food you're gonna get in the area. A lot of the negative reviews seem to nust be mad about the new reservation system, but honestly... just call ahead. It's not that hard. This place looks like it's being run by a small family so you're obviously not gonna be getting the same service you'll be getting at a massive chain with a whole corporate side and everything... but in exchange you get way better food than you would get at one of those chains! The people running this place probably just want people to reserve spots so that they could better manage their work/life balance. Just like the rest of us! So yeah... if you show up at 7:15PM when they display everywhere that they close at 8, you're gonna get turned away! Because they don't want to work later to cook for and clean up after you just like you probably don't wanr to work later at YOUR job. They want to close on time and get to enjoying their personal time like the rest of us TL;DR the food is amazing and most of the negative reviews are just people complaining about not being treated like Kings/Queens when they waltz in with no reservation and generally being inconsiderate of the workers.

Every time I've eaten here, it's been great! They feed you like Koreans eat. Multiple sides to accompany the main dish(es). They also have the BEST Kimchi I've eaten!

I went to this restaurant with a friend a few weeks ago and the staff acted as if they were doing me a favour. My friend and I each ordered an entree and an appetizer, when it was time to pay I asked for the bill to be split so that my friend and I could pay for our respective meals. The waitress/host refused my request and acted as if I was being unreasonable. Needless to say I will not be back. Seoul House and Sodam are right around the corner; the food there is delicious and the staff are friendly.
Good food. They only take reservations.
