    Jajangmyeon
    Duc K.

    I took my friend out for lunch at Paik's on a weekday. We both ordered the Jajangmyeon(Black Bean Noodles). The noodles were incredibly flavorful and you can really taste the black bean they used. The staff were very friendly and offered incredible services. It was both our first time here and they offered us these plastic covers to put over our white shirts so we don't get the black bean sauce on them which I thought was incredibly helpful. I would definitely come back again since the food were great and the pricing were amazing.

    Stopped in for lunch and ordered the jjajangmyeon and the tangsuyuk (chicken) with a side of rice to share. The jjajangmyeon was flavorful and the noodles were perfectly chewy. It's on par with other restaurant jjangmyeons maybe even a little better so, 7.5/10. The tangsuyuk had a light crispy batter and the pieces of chicken were super juicy and tender. But I personally felt the sauce lacked dimension and was just a little too sweet for me so, 7.1/10. Service was quick and friendly! The price was fair and we had leftovers! I'd definitely come again when in the mood for fried food

    Very disappointing experience. The fried noodles were burnt and had a strong burnt taste. The sweet and sour pork was far too sweet and was difficult to enjoy. Overall, the food was not good at all and was much worse than other Korean restaurants I've been to. I was really looking forward to this meal, but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. I won't be coming back.

    A great casual restaurant for some Korean food! The inside is bright and clean and there's plenty of seating. Their menu is pretty simple, specializing in variations of jjajjangmyeon, jjamppong, and other small Korean bites. You order at the counter and sit down, once the food is done, it's brought to you. Service is very quick here. I've been here twice now and I've tried their regular pork jjajjangmyeon, their seafood stir-fried jjajjangmyeon, their jjamppong, and their tangsuyook. Everything is very flavorful. The noodles are thick and juicy. The portions are huge. And, the meat is crispy and delicious. Good quick and casual spot!

    My friend and I were in a bit of a rush today, so we ended up taking out the meal to go. It was lovely that the noodles and the sauce were packed separately. I got the jjomppong, and my friend got the regular jajangmyeon. I will say for the size, it is a bit on the pricy side, but the taste is good. I can't speak much to the jjangjangmiang other than my friend really enjoyed it and was able to eat some as leftovers. However, I should caution that she is not a big eater, and I personally think the average eater would be able to finish one bowl. As for the jjompong, there was a good amount of seafood within the broth, which was good, and the broth was rich and flavorful. Also, please note that I personally don't think the soup was very spicy, so if that's something you are cautious about, as long as you have some tolerance, you should be ok to appreciate the thicker noodles that go with the dish as well. I ordered online and the food was ready quickly, although the staff were a bit rushed when I was picking up my food. No issue though, since it was lunch time and things get busy. The restaurant seemed to have a decent amount of seating from my brief foray of picking up the food. Had my friend and I had time, we would have much preferred to sit down in the restaurant to eat and take our time chatting.

    New favorite noodle spot. Had heard good things and stopped in for lunch. Very clean and bright and spacious. Extremely friendly staff. The jjamppong is SO GOOD!!! The base is perfectly balanced and spicy. The seafood is so good and I love the noodles. I came back two days later with my entire family. I wish it was closer to where I live.

    We heard mixed reviews when they first opened up so finally decided to stop by and try. The GOOD We ordered the black bean noodles, fried pork, and seafood noodles. Black bean noodles - $11 - more SAVORY than sweet compared to other Korean places I've been to. I actually prefer it savory - sauce wasn't too salty or sweet and stuck to the noodles well - noodles were nice and bouncy - meat was in there, but they were cut up into fine and skinny pieces so they were hard to see - good portion size overall Fried pork $15 - meat was small, breading was big - not much flavor unless you use the sweet dipping sauce - good portion size Seafood noodles - broth was very flavorful, you could definitely taste the seafood in it - good spice level Overall, I would come back but only for the black bean noodles. Most Korean places I've been to were TOO SWEET, but this place makes it SAVORY which is my preference. $11 for the black bean noodles is a great price for the size you get! I would skip the fried pork.

    Solid, tasty, and budget-friendly! Came here craving some Korean comfort food, and Paik's Noodle did not disappoint! I ordered the black bean noodles (Jjajangmyeon) and they were seriously good--chewy noodles coated in a rich, savory black bean sauce with a hint of sweetness. Super flavorful and satisfying. The portion size was generous (definitely enough for one hungry person or to share a few bites), and for the price, it's a great deal. You get a solid meal without breaking the bank. The staff were friendly and efficient--food came out fast even during a busy time. The vibe is casual and clean, perfect for a quick bite or a chill meal with friends or family. Looking forward to coming back to try the spicy noodles and maybe the dumplings. Definitely recommend if you're craving some good Korean noodles that hit the spot without hitting your wallet too hard!

    Sweet and sour pork
    Sean M.

    I waited for the hype to die down before trying this place. It was my first time trying Korean-Chinese food. The restaurant gives off a Panda Express vibe to me, and I knew I wanted to try the stir-fried Jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork based on others' photos. The food came out quickly, and I think they did a good job blending Korean and Americanized Chinese flavors. Nice fusion. The dipping sauce for the sweet and sour chicken was unique; it looked like the sweet and sour soup you'd find at Americanized Chinese places but was served as a dipping sauce--very creative. The stir-fried Jajangmyeon had a good portion size, enough for two people to share, despite being the most expensive item on the menu. It was saucy and looked very appetizing, with plenty of noodles, though I wish there had been a bit more meat for the price. Everything tasted good, but it felt like fast food-level good to me. Maybe I expected a bit more from all the hype. I'd come back to try other menu items, but it's not something I'd personally crave.

    Beef Jjampong
    Shawn P.

    Review: Beef Jjampong Tried the beef jjampong and was seriously disappointed. It barely resembled actual Korean-Chinese jjampong--no heat, no depth, and definitely no wok flavor. Instead, it tasted more like Korean beef radish soup (soegogi muguk) with noodles thrown in. The ingredients were underwhelming, and there were hardly any vegetables--just a bland broth with some meat. If you're expecting a rich, spicy, seafood-forward jjampong, this isn't it. Wouldn't recommend.

    Jajangmyeon
    Deb K.

    Our first time here and we tried the Jajangmyeon and Sweet & Sour Pork. $30 including tip was a decent price. Staff were very friendly and recommended these two dishes as the ones that are popular in Korea. This is supposed to be Korean Chinese cuisine and we've never had that or even heard of it before. You get a small bowl of yellow daikon to start. We've had that before so that was nothing new to our taste buds. Jajangmyeon - some sort of noodles with black beans, onions, peas, and mushrooms from what I could tell. Warning, the noodles are really long so this dish was hard to share. Sweet & sour pork was bartered pork pieces with a sauce... good but not what we expected. It didn't come with rice and that was weird as we thought we ordered a rice dish??? Overall an interesting place to eat.

    Iris L.

    10/10 recommend coming here for when korean-chinese cuisine cravings. Stirfry jjm and jjampong always hit the spot. affordable pricing and quick service. Friendly people and just pick off menu then pay at cashier. Wait for food to be delivered. Have your own water service at your table with most commonly used seasoning and sauces. Good for family and friends to dine or even if you're in the mood for solo dining. very chill either way. Indoor/outdoor seating and ample parking spaces

    Any gluten free options at this location?

    All the noodles have flour and they do not have gluten free option for noodles. Their sweet and sour pork is made with rice flour, so that is gluten free, as well as jajang rice.... Since rice is gluten free 😅

Sadly the soup wasn't good. I was sad that it didnt have much flavor. It's like they forgot salt and just boiled hot water. There was only 3 piece of beef rib. There was plenty of daikon and glass noodles. The prices for the dishes were a bur pricey for the portions they give. I'd come back again to try their other dishes.

I'm not too experienced with Korean food and often just stick to what I know at every Korean place I visit rather than branch out. That being said I've had the dolsot bimimbop, kimchi jjigae/stew, kimchi pajeon/pancake, seafood pancake, and various bulgogi and galbi and thought all of them were solid. Banchan was decent. None of them were bad on multiple visits but none of them were so amazing that it left an imprint either. This place is probably my favorite spot when I want a Korean meal and not just wings or kbbq.
