I prayed for years that they'd reopen in Cupertino again. The Bay Area needs more Singaporean/Malaysia food!! Some of the must try dishes here are: * Mee goreng: spicy street noodles * Kari Mee: noodles in a spicy coconut curry broth with chunks of chicken and potato * Chicken Satay: Grilled chicken skewers served with a peanut sauce * Roti Canai: crispy flatbread served with a curry sauce * Mee Siam: Stir fried rice noodles * Nasi Goreng: Malaysian fried rice * Ice Kachang: Shaved ice topped with rose syrup, and condensed milk. Under the glorious ice, you'll find red bean, grass jelly, corn, peanuts & agar agar making for an unexpectedly delicious dessert (This was my favorite dessert growing up)

Perhaps it's because of the rush of orders and addition of items I assume are not usually on their menu, things were a bit chaotic. Multiple people ordered multiple dishes and the kitchen was getting some orders confused (eg calling out an order # multiple times even though that customer had been served already). I will only review the 3 dishes my family got. Perhaps the Nasi Padang combos are better here (I see this is most commonly reviewed and popular), but sadly, they had already ran out of the Ikan Masak Lemak thirty mins after opening. Nyonya Laksa (2/5) @ $18 -- The soup was too watery and there wasn't enough of a coconut taste to it. The chili helped a little once mixed in, but there was still something missing from the soup. Mee Rebus (3/5) @ $18 -- The sauce was flavorful and slightly sweet. However, the sauce was poured on top of the tempura shrimp so I had soggy tempura. A little nit: I had to stir the noodles to make sure all noodles were coated. Hainan Chicken Rice @ $17 -- I didn't try much of this but the rice was fragrant as expected and had that chicken essence taste. Ah, the ginger scallion sauce also tasted sour like it had gone bad. Also ordered a milk tea (strong and standard) and a milo (which came in a can, I thought this would be made in house but I was wrong). This store is a stall inside a larger food court, so seating is limited. There is a public bathroom. Service was nice -- they asked if we were eating there and served us. All plates/cutlery is disposable so it's easy to pack up if you don't finish there.

Mohinga fish soup: the national dish of Myanmar. The base is fish and there are big chunks of soft onions and small chunks of fish inside. It tastes like crab soup with a subtle spice aftertaste and a very, small fermented taste. Tea leaf salad: The small green Thai chilis are SO hot and made me cough instantly. A decent tea leaf salad with nice crunchy bits through you can find it better at other places. Indian mee goreng: Too sweet for our taste and less soy sauce than we like. It tasted like the primary sauce ingredient was ketchup. Plenty of large shrimps and nice pieces of potato and bell peppers. Hainam chicken combo: yellow color chicken and rice. The sauces this came with were great. The bones were a bit sloppily cut but it still tasted good. Roti pratha: This used to be my lunch often in Singapore, so nostalgic! Roti with coconut curry for dipping. Came super super hot and fresh.

The crab was tender, coated in a rich, glossy chili sauce that perfectly balanced sweet, tangy, savory, and spicy flavors. It paired beautifully with a side of rice. I'm already drooling just thinking about it and would 100% order it again in a heartbeat! Char Kway Teow (10/10): Amazing stir fried noodles. The flat rice noodles had a smoky, slightly charred flavor and were tossed with savory Chinese sausage, tender shrimp, egg, bean sprouts, and garlic chives. The dish offered a satisfying blend of sweet, salty, and umami flavors. It was comforting, flavorful, and wonderfully satisfying without feeling too heavy or oily. Singaporean laksa (10/10): This dish was similar to a Vietnamese curry with a fragrant, coconut-rich broth that delivered a balance of savory, spicy, and subtly sweet flavors. The rendang chicken was super tender, the yellow noodles were soft and soaked in flavors. It was the kind of dish that made it hard to put the spoon down. SERVICE: Staff was super nice and accommodating. Even gave me a free side of rice and deserts to go since I really enjoyed their chili crab sauce. AMBIANCE: The place was very clean and feels very homy. They also offer free chicken soup for you to sip on while you wait for all the tasty foods to come. Overall, AMAZING experience and phenomenal food! Would come back every single day if I'd lived closer :(

The restaurant has improved very much since my last experience that I need to update my review…read more The waiter (forgot his name) knows me as a regular and since we order the same thing every time he even remembers our order (Indian Mee Goreng, Red Curry Salmon and Coconut rice with occasionally Roti Prata). The Mee goreng is the best I have every had and I have been to many Indonesian/Malaysian places in bay area and otherwise. Red curry salmon depends on the day. Some days it is super fresh and some days it is not. But 4/5 mostly. Ask for extra spicy. My kids love this restaurant and we end up going monthly. It is very crowded on weekend evenings and Friday evenings. So reserve a table using Yelp or Google.

But don't be fooled by the aesthetics, the food is actually REALLY good. You'll see a lot of appetizers on the menu, so you should be good with ordering just 1 to 2 per person. The portions are pretty big, even when they say an item serves 1 to 2 people. So definitely keep that in mind when ordering because you might end up with way more food than expected! Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

After weeks of trying to get eat here ( they are closed on Sunday evenings which used to be the…read moreonly time we could normally find to be there.) we finally made it on a weekday evening. Ambience is average to slightly modern but well lit decor. Being a weekday night, I think they weren't expecting too many people but at the time we went they had a 12 person party just seated. This made overall service extremely slow. I understand stuff happens but it would have been nice if we had been told upon being seated that service would be a bit slow due to being understaffed. Beyond just slow service the tables were sticky (my wife used the hand sanitizer on the table and a paper tissue to clean the table) and we had to ask for water twice. All that said, the owner apologised profusely when I went to the counter to pay, so there was some redemption. And now the food: We couldn't order everything we were hoping to try given the long wait time, but here's my rating for what we did order: Malaysian Noodle Soup (3/5): when it arrived it was barely lukewarm, so it loses a star. I was thinking soup will be served piping hot. The taste however pretty good. There's a kick to the broth but a good balanced broth on the whole with hint of coconut and light noodles (I don't like a soup where all you can see is noodle), which worked well for me. The only other thing was whosoever was adding the lettuce did a terribly lazy job - massive piece of lettuce sitting at the bottom. Banh Mi sandwich (3/5) - I'm a sucker for Banh Mi. For those who follow me, you will have heard me mention Bi Cycle Banh Mi more than once and that is the standard by which I judge all Banh Mis. While this Banh Mi didn't get close to Bicycle's, it wasn't bad on the whole. My only feedback would be add fewer jalapeños as they completely overpowered the subtle tastes of the sauces. Pad Thai (3/5): pad Thai looked as it was supposed to but it was missing one of the veggies as described in the menu. Taste was a bit bland but a dash of lemon fixed it. Khow Suey (3.5/5) - my wife gives this a score of 3.5, which says a lot. Good amount of veggies but wished the broth was a bit thicker. But she liked the spice levels and felt it hit her palette just right. Overall, I'd like to come back when it's a little less crowded so we can truly get a taste of the variety thats offered. Let's see what the future holds...

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.
