The food came out quickly and everything tasted really good. One of my favorite things was all the side toppings you can add to customize your bowl. It makes it easy to get everything just the way you like it, and there was a great variety to choose from. The portions were generous, especially for the price, so I definitely felt like it was a great value. Overall, really good food, great service, and very affordable. I'd definitely come back again!

My 90 year old mom chose this place from a list of places that she researched online. There are…read moretwo different locations, this one was in East San Jose in a large multi store strip mall quite near the Target store. I ordered a light dish for myself, five fried shrimp and pork wonton, quite tasty, and my mom ordered #3 seafood noodles. She was very happy that it came steaming hot (boiling even) with rice noodles. It came with two very large shrimp. We both ordered Vietnamese coffee, which came in large plastic cups that you can do takeout. The price is reasonable and the restaurant was quite packed at 1:30 p.m. There are different types of noodles that you can order, and you can either have the noodles dry or with soup. It was a good choice to come here for lunch!

We came by last month (sorry late review) and stopped for a Friday dinner with the family. We got…read morelucky as we were seated quickly but a busy line formed shortly after. The little ones really liked the porcelain mascot character inside. They had high chairs for both kids making feeding easier. You order off the QR code and we got the pig ear and pickled cucumbers to start. The pig ear was great but I think the family likes a bit more flavor with the cucumbers, some were ok but some did not have much vinegar at all. We then shared the signature Wagyu big bus and wife got the spicy beef miishien soup. The signature broth was creamy, milky and so delicious! The kids loved the noodles and flavors. Wife's beef noodle soup was good, she did enjoy our broth more. We will make this a regular stop for good food especially with the upcoming cooler months!

The cucumbers were also refreshing. The cold cut chicken was unfortunately tough and the dip appeared to be unseasoned. The individual beef dish didn't stand out - other than the fact it was salty. The place looked inviting when I picked up the food. Parking was plenty.

The steak was flavorful, the sauces complemented each other perfectly, and that classic sizzling presentation made the whole experience even better. I also tried the beef noodle soup. It leaned slightly on the sweeter side, but I actually really enjoyed it because the broth had so much depth and flavor. Compared to a lot of other restaurants where the soup tastes flat or bland, this one had a much richer flavor profile. Overall, the food felt comforting and nostalgic, reminding me of the Taiwanese sizzling steak houses and noodle shops I grew up visiting. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.

I've been to Paik's Noodle several times and have also tried locations in other cities! I forgot…read morewho originally recommended this place to me, but I'm glad they did Their prices are super good and their food is consistently good. I get the jajangmyeon ($10.95 for a small) every time, mostly because the noodle texture is TOP TIER. The noodles are thick, chewy, and springy, and they pair really well with the jajang (black bean) sauce. There are also plenty of ingredients mixed into the sauce, although I find it a little salty sometimes. The tangsuyuk (sweet & sour pork, $15.95) is super crispy, and I really liked the tangy sauce with it. I personally prefer dipping the pieces in the sauce so they stay crispy, but you can also pour the sauce over if that's your preference! The restaurant can get pretty busy on weekend evenings, with waits usually around 10-30 minutes. There's plaza parking available nearby. Would definitely recommend if you like or want to try jajangmyeon!

Paik's Noodle has multiple locations around the Bay Area and it's about the same experience at…read moreevery location I've visited. I ordered Jajangmyeon and Jjamppong. The noodles for both dishes have a pleasantly chewy bounce to them. They are thick, satisfying, and cooked perfectly right. The Jajangmyeon's black bean sauce was savory with a touch of sweetness and contains peas, onions, and pork. The Jjamppong has a spicy seafood broth with squid, mussels, pork, and veggies. Every meal comes with pickled yellow radish on the side to help cut through the richness of the meal. Service is not what you come here for. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated and a part of that was because they skipped our name on the waitlist. They claimed they called it, but we were standing less than 15 feet away from the front door and never heard a thing. The music the restaurant was playing outside didn't help. Once sat inside, it is a turn-and-burn operation. Food is ordered, dropped off, payment is collected, and nothing more. Again, don't go here for the service, go for the noodles. The atmosphere is casual and bit cramped. It has a cafeteria-like feel inside and can get a little noisy. Parking can be tricky especially when busy since they share a small parking lot with neighboring businesses. Bottomline, Paik's Noodle is good for a quick and solid bite but that's about it.

The broth is fresh, clean-tasting, and the portions are generous. They also offer a great smaller portion called the Baby Noodles, which was perfect for the kids. The restaurant appears to be family-owned and operated, and everyone there is incredibly kind and welcoming. They regularly checked in on us, kept our water and tea refilled, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our meal. When we packed our leftovers to go, they even offered to refill our soup container for us--now that's exceptional service! It's the little things like that that keep customers coming back. They're currently offering 10% off during the month of July to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, which makes it an even better time to visit. I'll definitely be back and look forward to continuing to support this wonderful local business.
