Great COVID planning. No dine in, everything is order to go. We got the jjajang myung (black noodles) and they were delicious! A staple I get every time we go to H Mart! read more

We stumbled across this little hole in the wall gem. Every seat in the house was filled on a Sunday around 3pm. The food is amazing. Authentic. The owner has passion. You can see it in her face as she cooks and interacts with her guests. We live an hour away but have been thinking of this place since our visit. We are looking forward to the next time we get to enjoy this lovely little restaurant. We plan on visiting again in the very near future! read more

Great food, very authentic to both Koreans and Chinese. Located on the same building as HMart(Korean grocery store in Aurora), they have been in the business for the longest time in this neighborhood as a Korean-Chinese restaurant- which means they are really good and authentic especially among their VIP customers. I crave for Korean-Chinese noodles pretty often, and this is the place i comeback all the time. They have variety of menu options so that everyone in the group can taste different food depending on their preferences. One of the things that was interesting about them was their service. Every time i come here their service is very good and consistent... the staffs speak fluent English, Chinese, and Korean so you do not need to hesitate walking in. No need to mention how fast food comes out due to their long experience and professionalism. They are very prompt and friendly. I personally recommend their black bean noodle, and if you are spicy lover, do not miss their jjambbong(spicy seafood noodle). For a twist, especially for ppl who enjoy Korean style fried rice, i recommend their Seafood fried rice w/ the black bean sauce. Mmmmm! read more

Freaking amazing! Most dishes are very authentic and super tasty. The owners are very friendly and we received great service. I'd recommend the black bean noodle dish and the spicy seafood soup. The egg rolls were some of the best I have ever tried. The seafood was fresh. We'll be coming back for sure! read more

We were the only non Korean people in there when we dined. They were very nice and the food was good.

I've have been looking for black bean noodles for like.. forever and per recommendations was told that this was one of the best places in Colorado.. so Minji K. You were not wrong! So I will have to say, black bean noodles aren't for everyone, it almost feels like it's a comfort food back in Korea, but if you're a kdrama fan like me.. and constantly seeing that black bean noodle dish on some of the variety shows.. then you can understand my temptations for this dish. The sauce is sweet, and although it looks like there's no meat in the dish.. don't be fooled because there is. Try adding some spicy pepper powder to balance out the sweetness. We also ordered the spicy seafood soup, which was amazing. It was full of flavor and had a nice little kick to it. I will definitely be back! read more

I love this place, I mean the staff is super friendly and accommodating. They help you with the menu and make sure that you know what you are ordering. I found it funny that the owner was kind of enough to point that we might be ordering to much for just two people, I assured him that my mom loves shrimp and even I am on the smaller size, my torso is mostly stomach. Anyways back to the real stuff, we ended ordering three dishes: Sautéd Tofu w/ Pork in Hot Sauce -Delicious, big pieces of tofu mixed in with jalapeños and some veggies Shrimp Fried Rice - Korean Style Fried Rice, shrimp all over and I think because I asked about the combination meat they added beef, chicken and pork to it Jam Bong (Spicy Noodle Soup) - This right here was a pleasant surprise, my wife who didn't accompany me on this trip told me to order this, and let me say I am so glad I listened for once. I mean flavors galore, shrimp, octopus, noodles, spice and just delicious. Overall if you're into Korean food give this place a shot, hopefully you won't be disappointed. (And if you are, well that's like just your opinion, man." Oh yeah Kimchi was bomb!!!!!!!! And I don't even like kimchi. read more

Solid showing P&Y. This is place is straight out of LA Koreatown: no-frills interior, but their chinese-korean options are right. Jjajangmyun, Jjambbong, tangsooyook, they do all the favorites well. My only complaint is I always look like a giant pig when I eat here, as I have to order a noodle and a non-noodle entree. The food will last me for 3-4 meals at least, but the average observer doesn't know I'm not going to be shoving all that food in my face in a single sitting. b/c maybe I will. read more

If you watch Korean dramas such as Let's Eat, then you might have seen the frequented dishes of black bean noodles and fried sweet and sour pork. Those two dishes from Let's Eat was my soul reason to try P&Y Cafe. Plus, my stomach dreamed of it too. If you're not too big of an eater, then the portions at P&Y are enough to share with another person. If you don't want to share, then that's cool too. Save whatever you ordered for later, it will still taste good... I hope. Haha. The black bean noodle is unexplainably delicious. It has bits of onion, beef, and black bean sauce. The fried sweet and sour pork is crispy and addicting. But be warned! You must eat it in the restaurant, or as soon as possible, since anything fried tastes not as crispy / crunchy as it should when eaten right away due to steam built up in take-out container. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past. It says Chinese restaurant but actually Korean style Chinese. Delicious food, friendly service. Very good black bean sauce, but not quite as good as Paik's Noodle in Houston. More like a homemade cooking compared to that. Nonetheless, it hits the spot when no alternative is available. read more

In the same Aurora stripmall as Cafe Sky (see previous review) lies P & Y Cafe, which differs slightly in the sense that it focuses a little more on Korean-Chinese dishes. First popularized in the city of Incheon in what is now South Korea, Korean-Chinese cuisine takes classic Chinese dishes and adapts them to Korean palates, sometimes to such an extent that the final dish bears little resemblance to the original one. Classic examples of this hybrid style include Jjamppong, a very spicy seafood and noodle soup, and Jjajangmyeon, toothsome noodles in a thick black bean sauce with ground meat. P & Y offers very capable renditions of these two dishes (please be forewarned that both are rather messy to eat, so don't go before the opera, m'kay?) The restaurant also has some more purely Korean specialties like Mandu (translucent dumplings) and Chapchae (skinny-minnie cellophane noodles with vegetables). No matter what your finger points to on the menu, you really can't go wrong. So won't you try P & Y, PDQ?? read more

Atmosphere small Korean restaurant. The owner speak chinese too. Noddle is the best. Just remember to order the black bean noodle and have them stir fired the black bean sauce!! Jiabong was great too. Spicy perfect for winter time! read more

Just go for the jjajangmyun. Everything else is not worth the money and may even make you regret it. read more

Well hello! A friend of mine took us here for a Korean-Chinese meal. The portion is huge!!! Compare to K-Town in NYC, this is double the size. Cheap and will surely fill you up! The restaurant is small, probably 10 tables of 4. Recommend the Sweet and Sour Pork and Black Bean Noodles :D I love the food here than any of the Korean-Chinese restaurant in NYC Will surely come back! read more

P & Y Cafe - Sweet and Sour Pork - Chinese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Ever had a dish that you dream of for years afterwards? For me Champong, a spicy seafood soup, is the elusive gilded idol. Tasty, red broth with a mix of seafood and veggies. I am in love. Over 10 years ago I had a magical bowl of Champong at a restaurant where we waited over an hour because they forgot we were there. Fortunately, regular customers entered and our food followed. I would have waited longer once I tasted it. That one time was all I had. The eatery closed and my obsession began. P Y is the closest I've come to the Champong of my fantasies. The broth lacked a richness on its own, but with the other ingredients and a little tabletop mixing (fish and soy sauces) it was quite nice. Egg rolls very hot and crisp. Definite returning. read more

Hands down the best Jjajameong/bop, jampong and tangsuyuk. These three dishes are all I've tried so far. It's the closest thing to Los Angeles Koreatown. I've eaten there as well as take it to go, service is great. They're super friendly. Food is consistently fantastic. If you thinking about going here, stop thinking and just go, you won't regret it!!! read more

I've had jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) my entire life so I'd say I have a pretty good idea of good v. bad noodles. My parents have been eating this dish for a majority of their lives, so a thumbs-up from us means NOM. I think that the jjajangmyun is one of the best I've had and would go so far as to say that it's better than any of the ones I've had in Koreatown in LA, in Berkeley, and in Seattle. I don't know what it is, but it's delicious without being too salty and too sweet. My mom says that this place is her favorite so I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I also love P&Y's fried rice. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, FOLKS! I eat fried rice all the time, being the Asian that I am, but it is so dang good here. I'm convinced it's the pork grease, the pork (so tender and juicy!), and the crack. (In my head, I refer to this dish as "crack rice.") I'm sure someone will eat this and be like, Alice, 'what's she smoking?' And the answer is - nothing! Just high on life... and this rice. But seriously, so good. Sidenote: the fried rice comes with a small bowl of jjajangmyun sauce and a small bowl of jjamppong soup which is the best deal one could hope for. I have also liked their tangsooyook (fried sweet and sour pork (?)) and their Sichuan pork, which is similar to tangsooyook but is spicier. 10/10 recommend. read more

P & Y is the only place in Colorado to get decent jjajangmyun. The jjajangmyun and jjambbong is good. I just wish they would add more items to their menu. It's been the same thing for 10 years. The food usually comes out pretty quickly. The staff is friendly and pretty attentive. read more

The black bean noodles hit the spot! Finally found a place that makes it and makes it well. They do take out. Get some Persian cucumbers from H Mart around the corner and add it to the dish. So good. read more

Ordered two black bean noodles and two spicy noodle soups and found several pieces of hair In the noodles. They were in two batches of noodles and unfortunately we weren't able to check the other two because we already threw it into the soup. Called this place back and he tried saying "that's never happened here before, maybe it was your hair" but clearly in the photos you can see that the hair was cooked with the noodles as they go through the actual noodle. He mentioned that we are still able to eat it. We asked if we could bring it back the next day since we live a ways away so aren't able to bring it back before they close. I'm more angry about the way he dealt with the situation instead of owning up to it and offering to replace them. read more

This is a very nice joint. A great hole in the wall that serves good food. Compared to the other Korean restaurants in Aurora they serve a very different variety of foods in addition to what you're used to. I guess it is closer to actual Korean home cooking. Price is also very reasonable for what you're getting. read more

Most awesome Chinese Korean food. Try grilled onions with pork belly - also known as black sauce spaghetti! So amazing. Dynamite hot jajamyon is amazing!!! Great soup flavor & spicy. Try also the spicy garlic chicken with carrots and jalapeño's- such a great flavor! read more

Probably the best jjajangmyun (noodles in a black bean sauce) in Colorado, or at least Aurora. The black bean sauce is pretty authentic and tasty, but could use a touch more flavor; still, overall you can't go wrong with this one. It's a bit slimy and messy (as it's supposed to be), so be careful as you slurp away. Tangsooyook (sweet and sour pork or beef) is okay, with a VERY goopy sauce (don't let this sit at all) and crisp, crunchy meat. The veggies do not always taste very fresh which is why I'm giving three stars instead of four. Overall, it's a decent Chinese/Korean cafe. read more

Let me just start by saying that I looooooove Korean Chinese food. Koreans in general like Chinese food as much as Americans do and I developed a love for Korean Chinese food spending my childhood growing up in Korea. When I moved to the US, I tried, unsuccessfully, to find good places here that served Korean style Chinese food. It was too niche to be readily available and the places that did serve it didn't make it quite like back in Korea. Then I found P&Y cafe. I'm glad to say that my search for good Korean Chinese food in Denver, nay THE US, has come to an end. P&Y cafe is a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant on the Parker side of the H-Mart strip mall in Aurora. This unassuming mom and pop restaurant serves some of the best Korean Chinese food I've had this side of the Pacific ocean. Seriously. This is THE PLACE to go for Korean Chinese food. All the Koreanized Chinese classics are here. Their Cha Jang Myun (noodles with black bean sauce, pork and veggies) is comparable to the best I've had in Korea. The Champong (spicy seafood soup with noodles) is super satisfying and has an amazingly tasty broth, really good on a cold day. The Tang Soo Yook (sweet and sour pork) and Kkan Poong Gi (think sesame chicken only not as syrupy and a bit spicy) are nowhere near as sweet as something you'd get at PF Chang's or Panda Express (this is a good thing) and strike the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The best part is probably the price. Two people can easily eat dinner here and be uncomfortably full for around 20 bucks total. And lunch is even cheaper... If you're in the mood to venture out and try something different yet familiar at the same time, or if you're a Korean just looking for awesome Korean Chinese food I cannot recommend P&Y cafe enough. 5 stars without hesitation. read more

Yay for black bean noodles! Get that :) And this place is also dirt cheap! So you'll have a full tummy, with a full wallet! Now that's a deal! read more

My little hole-in-the-wall! A Korean's take on Chinese food. This place is known for their jjajangmyun, which are black bean noodles & jjamgpong, a spicy seafood noodle soup. Both are pretty tasty & ridic. cheap (Round $5). But I come here for something else. A dish thats been kept on the down-low.. their Gan Poong Sae Woo or Hot & Spicy Garlic Shrimp. It's deep friend shrimp thats stir fried with onions, peppers & peas with this spicy garlicky pungent sauce. A little pricy at $12.95 but it is TO DIE FOR! Can't eat shrimp or don't like it? Do not fret, you can get it with chicken instead. Be warned: Not known for their ambiance & closed on Tuesdays. read more

This place has the best black bean noodles in all of Aurora. Being K-town, that's a pretty substantial claim, but this is the place that other friends always want to go to, and where I want to bring people if I want to introduce them to those delicious black bean noodles. The seafood noodle soup is also good. They also have a tasty appetizer dish, the crispy shrimp in garlic sauce. I like eating it with a side of rice, rather than on its own like it's meant to be eaten. Overall good prices, good service. It's a smaller restaurant so sometimes there's a wait, especially when you're planning on coming in during lunch. read more

We finally made it to this place on not a Tuesday (when it's closed) as a proper send off for a coworker who is moving on to a job that is far cooler than insurance (no offense, insurance job). It's pretty close to the H-Mart and is a Korean run Chinese place. Apparently these are the only types of places to serve spicy Korean seafood soup called jambong. The interior is pretty small and basic. When we got there it was barely half full but when we left there wasn't an empty table. Four of us went for jambong (extra spicy). The bowl is practically the size of a feeding trough and filled to the brim with noodles, kimchi, shrimp, some sort of squid or octopus, mussels (de-shelled), and fiery bright orange broth (luckily the guy in our group wearing white ordered something else - the broth is rumored to not come out of clothing). It was a super tasty and filling lunch for the low, low price of $5.99. A lot of the hot red pepper flakes had settled to the bottom, but a good stir brought them up and made every bite nice and spicy. The service left a bit to be desired as we had a hard time getting our check....but still a great lunch spot for a cheap, interesting, and tasty meal. read more

Fun Chinese-Korean cafe tucked in a strip mall adjacent to H Mart -P and Y Cafe is a great pre-shopping carbo-load. I've been eating jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and jjajangmyon (black bean sauce noodles) my entire life - my grandma still makes it the best but it's pretty good here. There are three things to order here: jjampong (for those afraid of spice, you can order it "white" without chili oil), jjajangmyon (try it the "gan za" dry black bean style, there is more meat and less starch), and tangsuyeok (sweet and sour fried pork - a classic Korean college student food). Service is good and prompt and you'll be served yellow daikon pickles, sliced raw onions, black bean paste, and kimchi as soon as you're seated. Food comes out fast and hot! Noodles are always bouncy and tender and flavors are on point. This place has been consistent for over a decade. I wish they did a two-in-one bowl - it's really popular at other Chinese-Korean cafes to serve jjampong and jjajangmyon side-by-side in a yin-and-yang bowl. Sometimes (aka all the time) you just need your fill of soup and sauce. read more

One word: jjajangmyun. The place may seem a little small and dirty, but they definitely know how to do their black noodles and spicy seafood soup (jjampong). Did I mention it's only $5? Score. Despite these two great dishes, the place doesn't really have anything else going for it. As far as the other food, there isn't really anything else of note to mention. Don't touch the kimchi - it just seems off IMO. It's often packed full of Korean families and the service can be a little slow. Meh, I can't really complain. I honestly don't mind it so much as long as I can keep getting my jjangmyun/jjampong fix. Give it a try. Stay hungry my chingoos! read more

Pretty decent Korean place for jajangmyeon (black bean sauce noodles), jam pong (seafood noodle soup), and tang soo yook (sweet, sour, and crispy beef). I wouldn't get or rate this place on the other dishes because that's not what they're known for. Portions are HUGE for every dish. The tang soo yook was our "appetizer" but it filled 5 adults and 2 kids quite well. It's served on a platter and was nicely crisp except I agree with another reviewer in that it's a tad too sweet. Batter could be a little less but at least it wasn't greasy. You can't go wrong with the jajamyeon because it's hearty and saucy. Jam pong was great for cold weather but with this dish, the seafood is usually frozen so it doesn't taste as fresh as it could. The spice level of the broth was adequate though and was rich in flavor. I'm very surprised at the quality of Korean restaurants in Colorado and glad there are these offerings among the cows, bison, and what not. read more

I've never been to Korea but I feel this may have been the best Korean style poop noodles/blackbean sauce/jajangmien (Whatever you want to call it) in my life. I got the version where the sauce is cooked on a pan for a bit. This style I feel actually helps put the third dimensional flavor in this style dish. With the char on the meat in the noodles giving it a smokey wok flavor that is subtle but on point. CAUTION! - Just be sure to dress to get messy. Using your ski jacket is a solid shield. You will want to eat it and you'll want to eat it quick this dish is so good. read more

I almost don't want to review so I can keep this tasty secret to myself! ;) Hellloooo drool! This place has the best blean bean noodles. You get a heaping serving of noodles under a mound of black bean sauce for only around $5! You know that homey, cooked with love, taste- P&Y definitely delivers this sought after feeling. My tummy and I leave more than satisfied each time. I feel like it should be stated that you shouldn't come with high expectations for consistent service. They're friendly, but for a small restaurant and what looks like a very small staff, come knowing you will have to wait for refills on your water and your server checking up on you. I'm sure they're doing the best they can; if anything it should prompt you to become a better conversationalist to pass the time ;) read more

I don't give many 2 stars, but I have had better. Seeing the reviews on Yelp, we went here hoping for some flavorful asian Korean/Chinese food. Well, it tasted like a mix of Korean and Chinese food, but did not taste very good. We ordered the sweet and sour pork. The portions are large, but the flavor was not remarkable. Neither was the seafood noodles in black bean sauce. It was rather bland. The SPicy seafood noodle soup was a little bit tastier, but nothing to write home about. THe only dish I would give a higher star to were the potstickers - which were pretty descent. But one out four does not a great restaurant make. THe portions were huge! I ate the left overs, but my partner wouldn't touch them again. read more

Whoa. This place looks like a hole in the wall, but it's definitely bustling with Korean customers which says something. They also give HUGE portions. Be warned! I ordered a Tangsooyook, and it was the sweetest Tangsooyook I have ever had (still can't decide if this is good/bad) because it was delicious and they gave a lot, but after awhile you got that sugar sick feeling. My friends got the jjajangmyun (which is the house special) and it is indeed the best jjajangmyun the Denver area has to offer. If you don't mind brown and slimy noodles, go ahead! After all, it is simply like eating the thicker version of soy sauce with your noodles anyways. Who isn't doing that already. read more

I love this place! No visit to Denver feels complete unless I stop by for jjajangmyeon awesomeness! I still can't believe this little unassuming restaurant is better than any jjajangmyeon place in San Francisco (maybe the Bay Area?), but it's true! The tang soo yook (sweet and sour pork) and kkan poong gi (slightly spicy fried chicken) also are tasty and good complementary dishes, but beware - you get a LOT of food, all for great prices! The only weak dish here is the kimchee.. read more

This is a hole in the wall. Quaint and small. It is always packed with Korean people. It is known for Korean/Chinese black noodles; in fact, it is the only place that serves jajanmyun in the Denver (really aurora) area. Apparently the Chanpon (spicy noodle soup) is also very good, but i didn't stick around to find out. Beware the kimchi though. It is very very bland. Also the service could be quite slow (because it is a mom and pops place). You'll see 2 hispanic ladies serving the tables (which is sort of funny considering this is a Korean place). It sort of brings back memories of Korean town in LA where even the Mexican people speak Korean!!! hahaha. Anyway... the black noodles are alright. Not as good as I would have liked, but it's the only one in town... and it's pretty decent. read more

P & Y Cafe - Dry black bean sauce noodle - Chinese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is our favorite Chinese-Korean noodle spot. For those not familiar with this type of food, I recommend the black bean sauce. It's one of our favorites. It's hard to describe the flavor to those that have never had it. But the qualities I look for are the firmness of the noodles and whether the sauces are too watery. And this place gets it right almost every time. Firm noodles and the sauce is smooth enough to spread but not so watery that the flavor is lost. Do not come here for the decor. It's a simple dive for those in the know. And for those that know any better ... yes, the black bean noodle dish is supposed to come out with scissors. read more

Incredible portions!!! No matter how big your appetite -you will be amazed by the sheer size of your order. My tofu was flavorful and unique. My husband's lunch had delicious fresh crisp peppers and an abundance of pork. There was a distinct Korean fusion flavor brought to this cafe's dishes. The flavors were fresh and inspired, just not what I consider traditional Chinese. I will certainly return to the colored the menu further. I did note that most of the regulars indulged in the noodle soup bowls....next time I'm trying this! read more
