    They have done a little remodeling since the last time I dropped in. The front door got moved, seems to have added more dining table. However, service and food quality seems to have taken a turn downhill. I came in with a group of 9. Totally understandable that we would have to wait a bit for a table without reservations on a Friday night. Once we were seated, I had to ask for menus. Then it took a while to get food ordered. There were some dishes that tasted great. Here are the good ones: Banchans - great variety, especially love the spicy shishito peppers Spicy stir-fried squid - good amount of squid to veggies ratios Seafood pancake - nice & crispy Spicy beef and seafood stew - comes with glass noodles, hearty Kimchi pork stew - can't go wrong with this dish La Galbi - good portion The meh: The raw soy marinated crabs were pricier $45.95 than everywhere else I've had it but it was also the smallest, 3 really small crabs. The galbi tang had a weird soap after taste and the short ribs did not taste good, almost like the meat was cooked while frozen. It was the one dish that we didn't finish. Braised short ribs galbi-jim - this looked like a soup, was not braised like I'm used to. Had two small chunks of short ribs for $24.95. We kept having to ask for things like bowls, refills on banchans. Maybe I came in an "off" night. I remember my prior experience being really good so will come back and try again.

    While heading home, we decided on a whim to stop by this place, and we are very pleased that we did. The service was excellent, and the quality of the food exceeded our expectations. We quickly realized that the portion sizes were quite generous; once the first dish arrived at the table, we immediately regretted having ordered three large portions. Fortunately, we were able to take the leftovers home. The ambiance was cozy and relaxed, particularly at 3:30 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. We look forward to returning in the future.

    Typical Korean decor inside of K-Tang. Great service. Banchan was ok. Seafood pancake was tasty; could be more crispy. Honey spicy wings didn't have a kick to it, but it was savory. Wished the wings were more fried/crispy as well. Tried some of the soy salmon rice bowl; pretty good! Not crazy about the sashimi naengmyeon. I've had better cold spicy noodles elsewhere. The kimchi pork stew was addicting! Not a fan of the pork cuts (more fat/tendon than meat). Overall K-Tang is worth trying at least once!

    K tang is a place that I have been wanting to try for awhile. I came for dinner in a weekday and it was fairly empty inside. There's plenty of parking available as well. Their menu seemed very unique, they seem to specialize in cold noodles. Unfortunately, it's winter right now and I wasn't feeling like ordering cold noodles. We ended up ordering a soy salmon and soy shrimp rice bowl and the seafood soft tofu soup. They bring out a set of banchan after you order. I think they change up the banchan that they serve daily because one of my friends came here yesterday and they said that the banchan was different. The banchan they had was very interesting. It included sausage, pancake, radishes, and acorn jelly. I was surprised that there was no kimchi. The first dish that came out was the soft tofu soup. It was sizzling hot and you can taste the strong seafood flavor. I'd say it's definitely my favorite soondubu that I've tried in Houston so far. The slices of salmon were do big and thick. It's basically a sashimi rice bowl. The soy sauce flavor was pretty subtle and not too overpowering. Overall pretty satisfied with this restaurant but I would recommend the soondubu over the soy rice bowls

    K Tang is the best! The food is delicious, but what really sets this place apart is the people. One night, my girlfriend and I were hanging out when one of the workers offered us a sake bomb on the house. They treated us like friends, not just customers, which is rare these days. Service like that, combined with great food, is exactly why I'll be coming back for sure. 6 stars

    GalbiJjim
    Jennifer N.

    Went for lunch on a Monday afternoon. You know a place is authentic when all the customers are Korean. Ordered the spicy cold noodles with snapper, the galbijjim, and the yukdaejang. They had a special senior citizen's happy hour special, so ended up getting an extra yukdaejang for free. In total, was about $70+ tip with lots of leftovers. The galbijjim was nice and sweet, with well-braised meat that falls off the bone with ease. It's a smaller portion but filling overall. The spicy cold noodles were refreshing and icy. I wish they had an option for the sashimi style cold noodles but not spicy! Finally, the yukdaejang was warm, spicy, and flavorful. It came with a nice sticky rice. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The menu items are a little expensive but the portion sizes make up for it. Worth the visit! Will need to be back!

    Ban Chan
    Candy C.

    Food had good flavor and there is a good selection of items on the menu. Service was friendly, but not consistent Parking is in a shared lot We ordered seafood, pancake to share (good flavor but feel apart as you picked it up). The ban chan - there was a decent variety but I found it strange there was not cabbage kimchi. I ordered Galbi Jjim (The broth was flavorful, and the meat and vegetables were tender - so good on a cold night) It's not a huge space, but there are tables for large The 3 stars is for inconsistent service. I will be back to try other menu items.

    With a cold front hitting Houston, we were craving something warm and comforting specifically Korean noodle soup since we are already in the Long Point area. I briefly considered the H-Mart food court, but then Yelp brought us to K-Tang (tang meaning soup in Korean), which sounded perfect for what we wanted. When we walked in, there was only one other table occupied, so we seated ourselves. Several TVs were on, adding a casual atmosphere. We ordered the galbi jjim (braised short rib) and the ox bone soup. They served hot barley tea right away, which was perfect for the chilly weather. The food arrived in about 10 minutes. The ox bone soup was mild and comforting--you season it yourself with the salt and generous amount of green onions provided. The banchan selection was on the simpler side: kimchi, cucumber, fish cake, kelp/seaweed, macaroni salad, and daikon. I wish they offered something extra like anchovies or bean sprouts, but it was fine. They also had a salad, which we didn't touch. I enjoyed my ox bone soup quite a bit. The galbi jjim was tender, though a little sweeter than we personally prefer. We happened to be there during the World Cup draw, so we stayed for over an hour watching the groups being announced. Even after we finished eating, they didn't rush us, which I appreciated. Toward the end, our waitress offered complimentary coffee even though we didn't take it. I briefly spoke with the owner, I assume he is the owner, and that their specialty is cold noodles, On a 40-degree day, I wasn't tempted by cold noodles, but maybe next time when it's warmer. Overall, a warm, comforting meal and friendly service. I'd definitely return when I'm in the area.

    K-Tang is a Korean restaurant located in Spring Branch right across the Hmart on Blalock. Sometimes when I make a grocery stop at Hmart, I will swing by and grab a quick meal. I have gone to K-Tang quite a few times and have tried a variety of their dishes. My favorite is their specialty spicy cold noodle dishes. I absolutely love the spicy cold noodles with sea squirt, cuttlefish, or salmon. I have tried each variety and like them all equally, and I choose the protein depending on my mood. Asides from their cold noodles, I also have had their spicy chicken dakgalbi, which is very spicy They have a variety of side dishes; some change but some stay the same. The kimchi, fish cakes, and spicy, pickled radish are always present, and the other half changes up. Staff is friendly, and service is fast. There is also plenty of parking. Definitely one of my go-tos for cold noodles in town!

    I would say this is one of the most solid cold noodle spots in Houston. The portions are big, broth was refreshing, and there was a good variety of fish! The owners were super nice and everyone was really friendly:)

    Spicy cold noodle salmon
    Erika Z.

    Came around 11:30am on a Saturday, and it wasn't busy it all but it quickly filled up after that. I ordered the spicy cold noodle with salmon. To me, it was more sweet and not spicy at all. The noodles were super chewy, which weren't my favorite, and the salmon cubes were quite cold, which I also didn't love. I would rate a 3, but I'm quite positive that cold noodles just aren't for me (this was my first time ever trying cold noodles), so I don't want to fault them for just a mistake in ordering on my part. The banchan was yummy and service was very kind too!

    Leslie K.

    They have expanded the menu a lot, but my favorite is still the spicy cold noodles. They can get busy, just press the service button when you need assistance.

It is sweet and a bit soupy from all the sauce. The noodles are chewy and bouncy, and get coated in the sauce nicely. There is a good amount of meat that comes with it too! The flavors are great. 2) Jaengbanjjajang: This is my go-to and personal favorite noodle dish to get here. It is similar to their original jjangmyeon except that it is less soupy and has a bit of spice. The spiciness adds a nice kick balancing the sweet and savory flavors. There are also lots of different mix ins like squid, shrimp, beef, and vegetables! The play on textures and contrasting flavors is why I love this dish 3) Spicy Chicken Wings (Yangnyeom): For not being a chicken wing restaurant, Paiks sure does serve some banger wings. Juicy big wings with a slight crisp on the outside. The sauce is amazing. It is that sweet and spicy yangnyeom korean fried chicken sauce. 4) Tangsuyuk: I never visit Paisk without ordering their tangsuyuk. Perfectly fried with a great chew. The pork is not too porky or gamey which is nice, and the sauce is a sticky sweet and sour sauce. 4) Gunmandoo: Their panfried dumplings are quite nice too! I haven't gotten them in a while, but they were solid Overall, I don't think there was a single dish I disliked here at Paiks. Service is standard, not too fast not too slow. The ambiance is not really one for dates or anything. It's super casual with metal chairs. It can get a bit cold. There are restrooms and water dispensers. They used to have the self serve yellow radish but now they just serve it with your meal. You have to clean your table yourself and put all the dish trays in the back

The food is of good quality and offered variable spice levels on many of the dishes, so you are able to decide what type of experience you're going to have. The tteokbokki are plump and the sauce balances the tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet notes you're looking for. The kimchi pancake was plenty kimchi forward but ended up not having all the crispy texture you can get from the scallion pancake cousin they serve. I order the Glabi and enjoyed my seasoning that it came with, nothing much to say either way here. The soondubu soup was full of tofu and not all too spicy on the medium heat level. I didn't fall in love with any particular dish, but I enjoyed all the options I went with.
