    Spicy Tuna Onigiri
    YJ L.

    You gotta know what you're getting yourself into when you come here: it's not fancy dining--it's homely street food! They offer customizable ddukbokki, which I love, and although it's sweet, it's still decently spicy! It also comes with odeng (fish cake) automatically. Loved the kimbap mari (deep fried seaweed rolls)--another simple, yet classic dish. Their onigiri has good ratio of rice and filling (way better than Mitsuwa's ratios), and they used good quality seaweed! Attention to detail was nice in the bathroom too--plush TP, step garbage can... The service was great, like your favorite aunties checking in on you and making sure everything is up to snuff! Parking is in a plaza and it's honestly a nice pit stop shop!

    What a gem! My partner and I really loved this mom and pop shop. The owners were really sweet and attentive to us. We got the spicy sujebi, kalguksu, and saeng sun jun (Pan-Fried Fish). The noodle dishes don't have a lot of protein, but that's a given. They're delicious, homey, carb-style soups, would be great for hangover soup in my opinion. The hand-pulled noodles and dough were great. Broth for both also hit the spot. My partner and I took turns sharing both! This place seems great for Korean dishes you'd typically find your family cook at home, rather than typical items you'd find in most restaurants - that's what makes it so homey. We've dined in once, but we're already planning on coming back again soon!

    We ordered kimbab (tuna, tonkatsu, sausage, bulgogi), which was enough to feed two adults and a toddler and baby. The presentation was immaculate, and I was in awe at how big the pieces were and nothing falling apart. The kimbab tasted good and homemade. Took about 20 min to make, which isn't bad.

    This spot is really nice and cozy; but, the food is amazing hands down the best kimchi fried rice/ cold noodles Ive had. Not to even mentioning the service;like the food, amazing as well. The people that work here are very sweet and quick didn't have to wait long before getting our food. 10/10 would recommend

    Amazing mom and pop Korean restaurant. Food are good, service also good. Highly recommend!

    The food was fantastic! The stone pot rice was crispy and perfectly seasoned. The nori added even more flavor. The kimchi fried rice was cheesy and also super tasty. Both came sizzling and super hot. Service was great!

    Food was 10/10 service as well!! I would say the tteokbokki here is one of the best I've had in all of Santa Clara county and the service was great the bibimbap was very delicious sweet savory crunchy def a must when you're getting food in Santa Clara will be coming g back!

    Kimchi fried rice with bacon
    Yuki K.

    Every one of the 6-8 tables were filled so there was a bit of a wait (10 minutes max) at noon on a Friday. Only two banchan were given - kimchi and pickled radishes. We ordered: 1. Kimchi cheese fried rice with bacon ($19): - The food was fairly hot but I was expecting it to sizzle to the point of getting crispy rice after reading the reviews. I suppose it's safer if it's not that way. - It had only a hint of spiciness but was seasoned well otherwise - Not much bacon in there - mostly just rice 2. Bulgogi rice plate ($23) - A lot of rice and not as much meat considering the price - Meat was unexpectedly sweet Overall the flavors were good but I genuinely feel like "okay" is an appropriate rating for this place.

    Spicy Rice Cake with Ramen

    I've been trying to look for a place that makes sujebi near me and came across this super cute, quiet, and homey place c: The workers are very kind and attentive. I've been here twice now and here's what I've tried: ~Kimchi sujebi: Spicy and flavorful! Sujebi texture is great. Very enjoyable and the portion is great for sharing ~Ddeokbokki (spicy rice cake) with ramen: Delicious and very well made :) no complaints here ~Sesame sujebi: A little bland and not as flavorful as I was hoping :c maybe I was supposed to eat it with something but I won't be getting this one again I love the hospitality and coziness here, and I can't wait to be back to try the rest of their tang & guksu menu!

    Tuna Roll, Fish Cake Soup
    YooBin K.

    The interior has been changed to a more hip and happening bunshik restaurant. It's been painted a light green and they have a banchan store set up at the front where the register is. We came on. Wednesday and it appears that their hours vary day to day. The schedule said they close at 3pm on Wednesdays so please note the schedule before visiting. Their kimbap always hits the spot. The pieces aren't too big and just the right size to pop into your mouth. Their fish cake soup comes in a cute bronze pot. This is so so, not really worth ordering. Their jjolmyun however is so delicious. Sweet and tangy with lots of veggies like cabbage! Will come back again to have their spicy rice cakes again.

    Traditional K-restaurant set up; nice and refreshing on a hot summer day.

    For some reason because the plaza is hopping with so many hyped and trendy restaurants, I thought this place was a modern street food concept and hadn't tried it despite living 5 min away. Come to find out they specialize in very humble handmade nuders and hand torn dough, homey classic soups like sujebi, soybean noods, and kalguksu. The stocks are traditional and clean. The restaurant is clean and the service is welcoming. It feels homey, unassuming, no nonsense, and delivers on home style flavors. They have a case of banchan selections to buy and the street food, though yet un-sampled, is definitely classic with rich vibrant rabokki and ttukbokki, ramen soup, gim mari, jeon. A nice and low key place to chat with friends or family alike and definitely an authentic vibe that isn't trying to be fusion or up-charged. My awesome self went as a loner and felt completely comfortable. But I would like to go with a larger party to sample more of the BYO casserole dishes.

    This is one of my fave places in this Korean plaza!…read more I always find service to be so friendly and kind. They are a small team but do their best to chat with you and make recommendations. We typically get a 1-meat combo which is more than enough for our 2-3 person family. The portions are huge and the banchan is refilled so unless you're craving tons of different meats, no need to order a ton more. I also love their tofu soup, it's not too oily and also keeps well if you have leftovers. The interior is clean and well kept so you'll be comfy with a group anywhere from 2-6 people. Larger groups might be harder to accomodate but I've never had to reserve for under 6.

    The foods were good but I do not like the services here at all…read more There are 4 Korean restaurants in the same plaza which kinda weird because they all serves almost the same atmosphere. We came here around 5:30PM so we did not wait for a table of 5 at all. We wanted to order the package B which comes with 3 protein of choice with add on ramen and cold noodles but they refused to let us order package B but insisted us to order package C which comes with 4 protein of choices. I and my niece don't eat meat so package B was good for us. There are 5 of us but 2 of us don't eat meat, we basically eat the banchan with the sauces. I do not like how they handle the situation at all! I clearly told them I don't eat meat so package B was good for us and they refused. We can not finished with 4 protein for package C which had a lot of left over afterward. The galbi was $9 add on more which the portion are small and over cooked! The grilled chicken was okay, the pork belly and the beef brisket overly thin slices below average quality. The best part of this was the banchan they were given, the potatoes salad was delicious. The hot sauce was very good. I just add all the banchan with white rice and hot sauce to make the best Bibimbap ever. The cold noodles were excellent just like how it tasted in Korea. When my daughter gets up to pay for the bill, they expected us to tip them 18% instead of 15% because there are were party 5 of us. You lucky that we even tip you 15% while we felt the services was horrible! Overall, I like the foods here but the service was not right!

The decor is a little dated. Service was efficient and met expectations. We ordered Wang Mandoo, LA Galbi, and a Cold Noodle Combo. The Wang Mandoo were described as king size boiled dumplings with beef, pork, and kimchi, and the sizes did not disappoint -- indeed very huge, even larger than the mandoo I've had in Korea. The meat was tender and overall very tasty. The LA Galbi came out as large slices of BBQ short ribs and were tender, juicy, and flavorful. The cold noodle combo came with cold noodles in broth plus bulgogi. You can pick other protein but that's what we chose. The cold noodles were refreshing and the noodles were chewy and bouncy. The portions were fairly large. The bulgogi was probably the most disappointing of all the dishes we had. It was tender beef but lacked some bbq flavor. I appreciated the wide variety of Banchans that were brought out to our table. They also gladly refilled the banchans as needed.

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!

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.

We ordered a combo (contains three dishes) and not only did they forget two of the three items, but when we asked for the two items they only brought out the second one over an hour later. By the time we were done with our second item, we asked them to just not bring out the third item in our combo because it was clear they hadn't even begun to prepare it because they forgot again. Despite only receiving two of the three items in our combo over the span of our two hours, they still charged us the full $73 for the combo. Additionally, they kept bringing out the wrong items and also brought out things twice when we had already received it. Food overall was undeniably bad for how it was priced. The quality of the pork in the katsu was extremely tough and stringy, not to mention how it was absolutely drowned in sauce. Kimchi fried rice was wet, as it was drowned in sauce and oil, barely fried. Chicken wings were also drenched in oil and sauce, and it was soggy, rubbery, and overall terrible.

I highly recommend ordering the combos here over ala carte! All the food came out piping hot and fresh. It was the perfect bar food; just really expensive for the quality of what you're eating. The place had ambient purple lighting inside, kpop & korean street food videos displaying on the TVs, tons of korean idol posters, and music absolutely blasting overhead. I enjoyed the lively vibe, but will say the music got a bit too loud and my friends and I really had to raise our voice to speak to each other.
