This is easily my favorite noodle place in Denver. They make the homemade noodles to order! No really, they take the dough and make the noodles when you order! So so so good. The noodles are chewy and perfectly cooked. Everything here is great and the food is extremely consistent. The spicy jajang is my favorite but so is the jajang myung black bean sauce. Also, there is tons of seafood, lots and lots of shrimp! read more

The best spot for black bean noodles! For the price of $5 you can order a delicious bowl of black bean noodles. If your not a fan of the black bean noodles, try the spicy seafood noodle soup. PS: don't forget to order the sweet and style pork or beef and the pot stickers for appetizer! read more

This place is legit. As someone who spent her childhood in South Korea and still visits yearly, I can testify that P&Y holds up to above average Chinese places in SK. Get their Jjampong, which is excellent, and Jjajabgmyeon, also great. Nurungji tang is on the waterier side, so I'd ask them to not mix it before serving and dip Nurungji in the broth instead. Tangsuyuk (fried beef) is rather mediocre - I'd stay clear. All in all, though, this is the place I come when I crave solid Korean-Chinese food. read more

I come here whenever I get a craving for jja jang myun (noodles with black bean sauce). It is pretty good and only $5. With that said, I know there must be better! Other than the jja jang myun, I haven't had anything else that was something to be desired again. Also, getting the food to go? Yuck. The meat dishes we got were rubbery and the mandoo was dry. read more

Every culture has its own take on Chinese food. There are Korean Chinese restaurants all over Seoul, but they can be hard to find in the US. P&Y Cafe is one of the more popular outlets here in Denver. Some of the dishes here aren't too different from American Chinese food. Tangsuyuk, for example, is really just another version of sweet and sour pork. It contains fried pork strips, pineapple, and pieces of bellpepper. Here's a tip: for an added flavor boost, mix up a little soy sauce (don't overdo it) with some of the red pepper powder that is available on the table. Lightly dip each piece of pork into the sauce before eating it, almost like you would a piece of sushi. This is a uniquely Korean flavor. Probably the most interesting Korean Chinese dish available here is jjajangmyun, which you'll also see labeled as black bean noodles. This consists of a bowl of pasta topped with a thick sauce of black beans, meat, and vegetables. After a thorough mix with your chopsticks, you can dig in for a really interesting flavor experience. The only downside of P&Y is the atmosphere--there's really none to speak of. However, their food is solid (and cheap), so if you're looking to try a type of fusion that doesn't typically get a lot of press, this is a great place to hang your hat. read more

Ordered some weird spicy jjajangmyun to try. Don't try it. Just stick to regular jjajangmyun. This is a Korean Chinese restaurant. I know, it sounds confusing. This particular cuisine is the "Chinese food" you find in Korea or Korea town. It's just a little different. One typical dish is the jjajangmyun. It is a black bean sauce noodle that Chinese restaurants do not have. It is yummy. Like very Asian spaghetti? Lol. Don't try the spicy version. Completely different sauce and it's just okay at best. The noodle seemed el dente so they get three stars. Noodles are a big deal, ya know? read more

Koreans know a secret....that Korean-Chinese food is its own delicious genre, distinct from any 'Chinese' food. I crave this place like no other. They have delicious tangsuyuk (fried pork in sweet sauce), kkanpoongee (crispy fried spicy chicken--way better than any other 'Korean fried chicken'), and jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles). The owners are friendly and hardworking, which are plusses. Large portions, so sharing is easy. This place sure looks dingy from the outside, but it's homey, cheap, and delicious! read more

Great place in Denver (Aurora) for Korean-Chinese noodles! I have been to this place 3 times in the past 2 months and each time I walked away satisfied. I never did try any entree but focused instead on the noodles. The noodles with spicy seafood soup and noodles with black bean sauce are superb. On my last visit I ordered both noodles and finished them all. The cons: lack proper air conditioning, and flies circulating over head. read more

Just as authentic as Korea.. Good stuff, service may not be the best.

Yum. Okay so yes, the restaurant is a total hole in the wall, but who cares - I'm there for the food. And it was awesome. We had jajangmyun, jjam bong and beef tang soo yook. Everything was delicious including the cabbage kimchee. (I love that) Service was great, the owner made her rounds and they had three waitresses working which is a lot for a small space. Saturday at 12:30 and the place was packed with one party waiting. They must be doing something right! Would return for sure if in town again. read more

I've been here twice now, and both times were great experiences! Lunchtime at this Korean restaurant was pretty crowded when I got there, but that was fine with me. My favorite dish there was their (jjah jang myeon), which is black bean noodles. It comes with either beef or pork mixed in the black bean sauce. And honestly, pork tastes beautiful with this dish in my opinion. When it comes to their side dishes, GET their fried rice! I could tell it was freshly made when they served it. It was delicious! The only reason this place isn't 5 stars is because of their kimchi. I don't like their kimchi, and I LOVE kimchi. I took a bite out of it and I could tell right away that they rushed making it. Once I can tell that they've improved it, then it'll receive its fifth star. Otherwise, if you're around this part of town and in the mood for good Korean food, GO to P&Y Cafe!! It's delicious!! read more

For Korean food, there are two things to come here for: Jjajamyun and Jjamppong. This place is my favorite kind of restaurant: cheap, no frills, good food. Kind of a hole in the wall, but that's what makes it great. Both dishes are consistently delicious and super cheap to boot (only around $5-6 for large portions). Very cheap ambience, mildly sucky service, but for the price and quality of food, who cares? :) read more

Tiny little hole in the wall, HUGE RIDICULOUS portions. I had the noodles and black bean sauce with pork (on the many recommendations of other Yelpers) and was not disappointed. An enormous heaping portion of sauce and noodles with a side of scissors to cut them with (trust me, use them). My boyfriend got the crispy shrimp in spicy garlic sauce and it was also awesome. Perfectly spicy, too. Did I mention that all of this was a great deal? We paid $26 for both of us and the portion sizes were out of control for what you get (plus kimchi and other pickled goodies for starters). Plus, it's hard to find "Korean Chinese" food in Denver, being a bit of an obscure taste, one I haven't had since I moved from the Bay Area. It's nice to see these places thriving out here. Now, go get your noodle on! read more

This is the only place the korean family I married into goes for their fix of Jjajangmyun and jjampong in Denver! My husband and I live up north and his parents live way down south, so whenever they come up to visit we meet in Aurora and usually go here for lunch. If we are especially hungry we also order the sweet and sour fried chicken! Side dishes that come with the meal include takuan (pickled radish), onions, and cabbage kimchee - and if you run out, just ask for more! And what's nice is that afterwards you can work off your lunch at H-mart! read more

I'm just eating right now..black bean noodle... I been eating black bean noodle over 8 years...in 12 different states... That's what so good.....I ever eat the best black bean noodle ever ever......ever ...it's right here... read more

Compared to Yong going the black bean noodle is better and so was the sweet and spicy shrimp. Yong gung is definitely cleaner, but I'd recommend this place. read more

They have the best Jja jang myun (noodles with black bean sauce), jam bong (spicy sea food soup with noodles) and pork tang su yuk (Fried pork with sweet sauce) in Colorado that I've tried so far. The place doesn't look that great but the food is very good! I would give it 5 stars but my mom's jja jang myun is hands down the best! read more

Can't beat the value! Jjambbong is bomb! So much for the price and not too salty. Noodles were cooked perfectly. I'm actually salivating as I write this review. Jjambbong is a spicy noodle soup with seafood. It's more than filling! This is a Chinese Korean restaurant. During the period of time the Chinese invaded Korea the had meals like this. Mixed between Korean and Chinese. You can't find a lot of restaurants that serve this particular genre of food in Colorado. So give it a try for sure! read more

I love Chinese food. I also love Korean food. I just never had Korean Chinese food before... So when I walked by a fairly unimpressive front door on my way to get my hair cut, I'm a bit skeptical. But the hair cut took kinda long so I'm hungrier than I expected, so I asked my hair dresser if she's tried it. She said they're famous for 3 things (sweet and sour, spicy seafood noodles, and jajang noodles) and their prices are reasonable so I thought why not give it a try. And boy was I glad I did. The inside is just as unimpressive as the outside, but it's clean. I'm here for the food not the ambiance so that doesn't bug me too much. I asked the lady if their pot stickers are homemade and she said yes so I ordered one. We also ordered the spicy seafood noodle on their menu cover and a sweet and sour pork. You know they're not lying about the homemade pot stickers, cuz you won't be able to buy pot sticker with that size anywhere pre-made. It's like the size of my palm. OK I have small hands, but still, it's pretty decent size. It's crispy on the outside and they give you this slightly sweet pot sticker sauce. AWE-SOME! Next is the sweet and sour pork. BTW, my hair dresser told me that their prices are reasonable, and when I saw the $8.95 a plate of sweet and sour pork, I was thinking, meh, not that reasonable. But that was until the food got here. That plate is big, and it's big with food filling the whole plate. I've been a fan of sweet and sour pork since I was a kid and I'll tell you why this is the best one I've had for a long time. 1. The batter. It's not too thick, not too hard, and not too soggy. I don't know how they did it, but it was just the right texture. I brought the leftover to work the next day, expecting soggy separated batter, but no, microwaved leftover still awesome. 2. The sauce. It's not those super florescent red out of the bottle sweet and sour sauce. It's home made kinda thick sweet and not too sour sauce. I hate it when some sweet and sour sauce is too runny, and it's too sour, that after you ate it, your lips feel all weird. They make one good sauce. 3. Mixed veggie. Some people neglect the mixed veggie in this dish but not them. They use fresh pineapples, which definitely add to the taste of the sauce. Red and green peppers are the usual, with some carrots and I think it's zucchini. It kinda all worked out. 4. The meat. The pork is not too big a chunk, which eliminates the potential problem of getting the roof of your mouth too raw from trying to bite into too big of a piece of deep fried meat. There were no fatty chunks and no bony chunks neither, those are surprises we don't need from something hidden in batter so that's good. And finally the noddles. Huge portion, good soup base. I know sometimes people like the fully shelled shrimp and mussels, etc. I kinda liked it that theirs come de-shelled. I don't need to get spicy shop all over my hand. The noodles have great texture, again, not soggy at all. The soup isn't too spicy, which is good. Soup being too spicy is a problem I've run into with other spicy seafood noodle I've had before. I can handle the spicy but I just think when something is too spicy, it takes away from its true taste. The soup base is also yummy, can definitely taste the seafood in it, instead of just red and spicy overpowering the seafood taste like some other ones I've had. 2 men and me, we can't finish the 3 plates. Total comes out to $23.30, with leftover sweet and sour pork for lunch for one person the next day. We're definitely going back for their other special dishes! read more

P and Y cafe was actually my very first Korean Chinese restaurant I had ever been to in Colorado, so it holds a very dear spot with me. I used to come here all the time but one of my friends like dragon palace better so I ended up going there for awhile and forgot about p and y cafe. But I am sure happy I came back. I love the sweet sour pork a lot and is a must get. In Korea it is like an appetizer so we get it first here and it doesn't come with rice. I feel that there sauce is more tart than sweet then compared to yung gong. I love the jajangmyeon here and I usually get a side of white rice to mix with the left over sauce which is usually a lot. If you get the seafood jajangmyeon, it is extremely shareable but I would recommend to get another side of rice or noodles just in case, but there will still have a lot of sauce let. Something to keep in mind that if you like it spicy you can ask them to make it spicy. This time I also ordered there cold combination platter, yang jang pi which is around $20 which some may think is pricey but I just want to say that this platter is HUGE. Yang jang pi, you get a side a mustard also you just need to pour very little on it and then you mix everything together. Super yummy! read more

In terms of the food, I love it. There aren't a lot of places to go for Korean style Chinese food and I enjoy coming here with friends. What I'm unhappy about is the customer service. This past Sunday night (10/12/14) I went to pick up a to go order about 30 minutes before closing and as soon as I walk in, one of the workers looks at my brother and I and says, "Oh shit". I completely understand how it feels to have customers come in last minute after a long day but that is not a legitimate excuse for letting that slip. I will continue to go here because I still enjoy the food very much, but their workers really need a lesson in customer service and just good manners in general. read more

The food is bomb, the atmosphere and servers are nice. It's one of the few places in the area to get Korean-Chinese favorites like the black bean noodles, seafood soup and things like that. read more

I like P&Y cafe, pretty good champong, chajingmein , Sweet n sour pork, kung pao shrimp etc, only major Downside is that they don't have "lunch special" from 11am Til 2pm like most Chinese/Korean restaurants in L.A. And owner/cook knows this, he is from L.A. It doesn't make sense for me to pay $19 for regular La carte menu for myself, I don't need all that generous Portion for quick lunch, offer lunch special menu during weekday for $6.95 to $9.95 etc. lot of other customers must be wondering why P&Y cafe don't have lunch specials read more

Thanks to the man who kindly showed the stock ingredients to the dumpling soup. I declined it when I read MSG as the second ingredient. I mentioned it makes me REALLY sick. He suggested beef bulgogi. It was delicious. And sopping with MSG. I cannot chance this place again after what I've endured today. read more

It is hard to find a good Korean restaurant with good customer service. My family and I went here for lunch and we enjoyed it. I open the lid to the hot tea to see what happens. She noticed it and promptly brought more tea and I did not even have to ask. The place was filled with customers as we were leaving. That is a good sign. read more

Best black bean noodles in all of aurora, people need to come try this place out. The amount of food you get for the price is amazing, this place is indeed one of my favorite restaurant's to grab a bite. read more

amazing black bean noodles and crispy fried pork!!! so so good and the staff is so nice! one of my fav spots and i can't wait to come back

Cute place, love it! Its very simple and homely, it's like I'm in one of tbose Korean dramas. My all time favorite are the black bean noodles, so good! Best item on the menu. I also like the dumplings, thought they'd be store bought but its handmade and pretty delicious. Favorite korean restaurant hands down. read more

As a Korean, it's pretty much the best place in the area to get jjajangmyun and jampong in terms of price, portions, and taste. Does the food blow my mind and knock my socks off? No, but the food is pretty tasty in terms of flavor, the portions are HUGE, and the price is just right. It's not too expensive, and the noodles are consistantly good. The service is nothing to complain about either; it's not fantastic, but it's pretty typical for a Korean restaurant. It's a strong noodle place you can always fall back to. read more

It's a very casual Asian diner. Best jjajangmyun in the state and the owner is very friendly. The portions are huge and they are doing a special on the jjajangmyun until the end of this month (5/31/16) - $5.99 for jjajangmyun instead of $6.99! read more

We thought the place was authentic and service was friendly. They have a one of a kind dish--noodles with black bean sauce. The portions are huge so we shared one dish. read more

I had the black bean noodles. I was excited about it because everybody on the review said it was good. Well, my opinion is it was a ok. It became tasteless after couple of bite. I felt like something was missing. On the other hand, red hot spicy soup noodle (Janpong or something...forgot name) was good. I'd like to go back and try different dishes sometime. read more

Actually pretty impressed with the jah jang myun and the jahm pong was pretty good too! My kids love jah jang myun so its a great place to get a quick bite. Its nothing fancy inside but definitely homey! read more

This is not your regular Chinese restaurant. It's more geared towards the Korean population. My husband and I had to drive all the way out to Aurora because there isn't a Chinese restaurant that cook the dishes that Koreans usually order. The restaurant could be cleaner and more organized. When we walked in, it was extremely hot. It must've been over 80 degrees in there. Not a very good setting to eat. We ordered Jjamppong which is a spicy seafood soup with the sweet and sour pork. The sweet and sour pork came out ten minutes before the spicy seafood soup and I really didn't like that. Also the spicy seafood soup wasn't as spicy as it normally is. And trust me, I can't eat too spicy foods and even I wish it was spicier. read more

Great hangover soup! Or just cause. I come to this place when Im in a hurry and hungry, the kimchi soup with seafood is great! The black bean noodles are great too. Kinda hard to let the secret out, but its all good! read more

Szechuan beef, sweet and sour shrimp and crab meat cheese wonton were great!! . Stuff before wasn't that good

My elderly Korean friend and I have been going to this restaurant for years and have been very satisfied with both the food and the service. I always order jambong. I could live on this dish, it's so flavorful. read more

I have been eating here for many years, and the main dish I always get is the black bean noodles. This dish has the right consistency every time. The black bean sauce is what makes it good. It's not too thick and not too runny. My only complaint is my recent walk in visit to pick up my order. I noticed they really didn't have any social distancing in place. There were a few tables and chairs pushed aside, and they were wearing a face mask. All the restaurants I've been to you are not even allowed into the Restaurant. You have to pick up your food right at the front entrance. My other concern is the Restaurant is very run down. The chairs, tables, walls, counter, ceiling and floor are in very bad shape. The Restaurant presents itself as very dirty, and I'm afraid what it might look like in the kitchen. I will not come back to this Restaurant any time soon. I really hope in the near future they'll be able to remodel this place so it looks nice and clean. read more

The best of Jambong noodle in town. It's best when you eat in the restaurant and not for to go. I give 5 stars included the service and the price. Don't expect the fancy interior design. read more

After arriving back to the 303 from the Korean motherland in the summer of '10, I was suffering from the anguish that can bring a grown man to tears. The reason? Quite simply, the aftereffects of eating the most delicious Korean food in the world, and having that privilege being stripped away faster than you can peel an onion. The favorite dish I had eaten overseas; in what seemed to be a distant memory, was the mouth watering dish known as (jja jang myun). The severe depression continued, as I gave up hope for a decent restaurant in colorado that serves this spectacular dish, and after a day out with friends, I had rediscovered a special place where my dreams could once again come true. Now, it is not to say that it is comparable to the same dish in the motherland. Nay, it is special in its own respect. I daresay that no other restaurant in colorado comes close to recreating such a simple, yet coveted noodle dish, stir-fried with vegetables and pork in tasty black bean sauce. ...There is only one thing you should order here, and that's the (jja jang myun). You will not be disappointed (unless you go on a Tuesday with a craving). Seriously, don't go on a Tuesday. I'm not sure why they picked that day, but it's closed then. read more
