    Jjamppong Noodle
    Destiny P.

    This place pleasantly surprised me! The menu is a little limited but they specialize in what they offer. The jajangmyeon was my favorite. The jjampong is a little spicy but I can't handle too much spicy. They have a kiosk where you can order so it's pretty fast and they just call your number when it's ready. The portions are definitely share size so they have little to-go bowls on the side that you can use. There are plenty of tables but it was pretty busy around lunch time. Also keep in mind the restaurant has an hour break between 3-4pm!

    Jajangmyeon Noodle

    I stopped by to try out Chinese Korean cuisine at Chef Paik's noodle franchise and this establishment DELIVERED! I ordered to-go and portions were very generous especially with the sauce (home bowl portrayed and this was only 1/2 out of my to-go box). I definitely appreciated the wok-hei in the dish and it hit the spot with a hearty, umami flavor profile. I had leftover sauce the next day to enjoy with rice and savored every last drop. I'm looking forward to coming back soon!

    I've been wanting to come here for so long, and it was so GOOD! Everything I ordered was delicious and fresh. I loved that there was a kiosk to order to make it more easier and convenient! I would definitely be back here for the food!

    Paik's noodles is one of the best places in DFW to get black bean noodles (Jajangmyeon). You always have to get their Tangsuyuk and Jjamppong to go along with it. Their new fried chicken is really good! It has a sweet, little spicy soy flavor. Inside they have a kiosk machine so service is really fast. Quick place to get lunch or dinner. Everything is self-service and they clean up pretty fast too.

    Jajangmyeon Noodle

    the inside was ordinary, nothing special, very typical local asian restaurant vibes. the food was good though, we got the jajangmyeon and the tangsukuk (which was my personal favorite) very flavorful pairs well together.

    Gochu Jjamppong Noodle
    Allie Y.

    This is another restaurant in Carrollton owned by the Korean celebrity chef Paik Jong Won. Paik's is my favorite place in DFW for jjamppong, or Korean spicy seafood noodle soup. They also serve lots of other Korean-Chinese classics like sweet and sour pork, jjajjangmyeon, jjajjang rice, etc. They are only open until 8PM so keep that in mind! (4.5/5) Gochu Jjamppong This is their extra spicy version of jjamppong which includes extra peppers. As a spicy food lover, this makes me so happy and the flavor of the broth is always on point. Also, they STACK the soup with so much vegetables and meat (pork & seafood) . (4/5) Bokkeummyeon This is their stir fried noodle cooked with shrimp, pork, green beans, and assorted vegetables. It's on the sweeter side and taste like teriyaki noodle with amazing noodle texture.

    The jjajangmyun was way too sweet for my liking. The jjamppong was better, but I still found it to be... a bit bland? Like it was missing something.

    Tangsuyuk
    Rebecca J.

    My fav restaurant for jjangmyun! I always get the jangban jjangmyun because it has more veggies and seafoods, but it is a 2 person portion. Tangsuyuk is a must there too it's crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside (just thinking about it is making my mouth water again lol). The jjampong is also good too. The pricing is very reasonable and portions are very big too! I always take it to-go. Service is super quick and usually you don't even need to tip since it's self service. The restaurant has limited amount of seats, so it can be really busy if you go during lunch time or dinner time during the weekends or holidays. Recommend going on weekdays!

    It's a very chill spot for a nice lunch/dinner bite. Busy every time I come in town for a craving fix! They are clean and organized! The man in the front is always so nice and polite. Took my order very fast and gave me my number. The best JJajangmyeon (black bean noodle) i ever have, and you must try tangsuyook (fried sweet sour pork) with it. Best combination together, and it's like a burst of fireworks inside your mouth. The black bean sauce is savory, perfect seasoning with meats and vegetables in it, plus fresh delicous noodles. The fried porklet is crispy and tender. Love their sweet and sour sauce. Highly recommend. Always consistently good food and decent prices for big portion. I ordered 2 bowls of jjajjangmyeon and tangsuyook that feed 5 people!

    My cousins and I went out for dinner during my last day in Dallas at Paik's noodle in Carrollton. This noodle shop is owned my a famous Korean celebrity chef. We ordered multiple orders of jajangmyeon (black bean noodle) and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). I had the jajangmyeon many times in the past but this was my first time trying the tangsuyuk. The jajangmyeon comes with a cup of radishes, which provide some crunch and sweetness. There's a self serve station with utensils, bowls, water, scissors to cut noodles, and sauces like vinegar and chili flakes. Definitely add the vinegar and chili flakes to the jajangmyeon because they improve it a lot. The noodles were as good as I remember, they soak up the black bean sauce really well. I really liked the pork as well. They were fried to a perfect crisp, allowing it to soak up the sweet and sour sauce as well.

    It was my first time visiting Paik's Noodle. It is nice and clean small restaurant. It is self serve restaurant. There is a very small counter and there is a kiosk. If you are placing your order with cash, you place your order with person at the counter but if you are using credit card, you place your order using the kiosk. The restaurant has small menu...very few items. I ordered fried potstickers and Ja jang myeon noodle. The potstickers were well fried but I did not like the filling. I would not order the potstickers again. The Ja jang myeon noodle was delicious. Whenever I am in mood for Ja jang myeon noodle again, I would come back.

    Jennifer K.

    Didn't really enjoy it here as the tangsuyuk sauce was way too sweet which was disappointing because the pork itself was well fried. The black bean noodles were also too sweet. The jjamppong was probably the best dish out of the 3 but still nothing remarkable either.

    Why does it say vegan options? Are there vegan options on the menu?

    They have vegan only dishes and they can make vegetarian dishes as well out of anything they have on the menu. They use tofu and soy and vegetable broth. Just ask the order taker. But if you are worried about cross contamination, choose a different… 

    Does the jjajjang sauce have meat in it or is it suitable for vegetarians?

    It has small chunks of beef in it.

As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

Came during the soft opening in September 2025 with excited expectations based on what we've heard, hoping to find a new go to Taiwanese spot. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. I admit this was the soft opening and things may improve, and for their sake I hope they do. Biggest issues for us were lack of flavor in the meat and multiple proteins being overcooked. The sauces they used had the flavor but it seems like the meat just wasn't given the time to marinate because the meat itself was bland. That coupled with proteins being a bit dry from being overcooked and you don't have a good combo. If they can tweak their prep process to let the meat marinate then it would solve most of the problems though. The best dish was the fried pork chop rice by far. A bit on the sweeter side so it just depends on how you like it. The bok choy it came with was basically raw though had more crunch than the pork chop. Service was also a mixed bag. The server was super nice and helped give us recs but it just seemed like they were still getting the hang of working in a restaurant. A glass of water got some food in it so the server took it away but they never brought us a new one. Again, soft opening so I give that some grace, but food has to be more on point for a new restaurant to make it. So all in all, there are definitely some kinks to work through for them. Normally I wouldn't write a review for soft opening but given that there are old reviews here plus food quality missed the mark more than I think it should've, I think people on Yelp should get a heads up.

We arrived right as the kitchen was about to close, but they still graciously seated us and provided amazing, welcoming service. The restaurant was also incredibly clean.

The beef was so flavorful, and we loved it. So this time, we ordered it again. This time, we also tried the pork noodle soup. The pork was flavorful as well. It was pork belly, so the fat made the meat even more tender and savory. Both dishes were delicious! But of the two, we still liked the beef option better. The ordering process was completely digital. We scanned the menu code with our phones and then selected our dishes ourselves. There was very little "human" touch. I still prefer having a server come take our order, which also makes the tipping decision easier. Anyway, we enjoyed the food and will probably come back again.
