    Those noodles are EYEING YOUR SHIRT!
    Mary Jo T.

    First of all, you are not going to come here unless you like Korean food. This is VERY popular in both the Bay Area and Southern California. Here is a little history; "Paik's Noodle delivers the best in Korean-Chinese cuisine. Since our beginning in Seoul in 2006, we've expanded to over 300 locations globally. Inspired by Chef Jong Won Paik". I'm a Bibimbap/Banchan kind of girl, and stick with my FAVS, so I have often 'eyed' Jajangmyeon (Paik's signature dish) but never had it before. . . until now! We ordered Chili Jajangmyeon & Chili Jjamppong. Both had good flavor. You may consider having your chili peppers on the side, so you could add them as you go, rather than totally mixing them together. WATCH THOSE NOODLES! They have a habit of flipping around your bowl and spitting out sauce on your shirt! I speak as one with experience! LOL! The staff was 'over the top' outstanding! Friendly, checking several times if we needed anything, genuinely helpful! Five stars for staff! This is a 'niche market' that is set up more for TAKE OUT, rather than dining in. And we saw LOTS of takeout orders! There is a tiny water station, with even tinier water cups. . . am I at the Dentist office? NOT a convenient situation if you like a lot of HEAT in your food! Unfortunately, it's also located right next to where you buss your own dirty dishes (ew) . . . Sadly the floors are needing attention too. They DID just open, to get up and running, so there may be improvements in the future. Now for the 'fly in the ointment'. The music was such a LOUD and STRANGE cacophony of NOISE, the likes I have never heard before! Something that a 'bipolar' might enjoy if they were in their MANIC phase. It was downright IRRITATING and took away from the experience of dining there. Both of us could not wait to get AWAY from it. So, 5 stars for staff, 4 stars for food and 1 star for environment. Would I be back? YOU BET! But it will be TAKEOUT! ;)

    As someone who binged Culinary Class Wars, I was so hyped to see that we had a Paik's Noodles here in Fresno! The place is super casual with a simple interior! You order and pick up your food at the counter. THE FOOD: 〰 Jajang Rice (4/5): Super comforting! The jajang sauce, rice, egg, and shrimp all came together really nicely and I love that it came with a bowl of jjampong on the side! Considering this is a chain, I was surprised how comforting of a meal this was. 〰 Fried Dumplings (3/5): I mean, you can never go wrong with a dumpling. It was a great addition to the meal but it wasn't anything to write home about. 〰 Sweet and Sour Chicken (3/5): I thought this was just OK! The chicken didn't have much flavor to it, the sauce was pretty standard, and I thought the chicken could be crispier. Still good! 〰 Stir-fried Jajangmyeon (5/5): BEST DISH OF MY VISIT! It was so flavorful and had a perfect spicy kick. This was so yummy!!! If I come again, this is the dish I'd get without a doubt. Overall, this is a great casual spot to visit if you're in the area.

    We met up with some friends that highly recommend this restaurant. We were not disappointed with the food and service. The dining area was clean and comfortable though a little small, no booths just open tables. Food portions are large and delicious. We ended up with Jiamppong with spicy noodle, pork, squid, mussels and vegetables. The other dish was vegetable stir-fried noodles with oyster sauce. Sides of pickled radish were included. Both dishes savory and filling.

    Service: it's mostly self-serve. Orders on counter are bused back to table by the customer, enabling them to reduce headcount and focus on food prep. Had three orders take just 10.5 minutes on 5 pm on a Saturday: pretty fast right? The chef goes from table to table asking customers about the quality of the service and food, although I missed him when I was filling my water cup. Ambiance: relaxed and friendly. So new that some of the promotional posters haven't completely unrolled yet and still have their creases (not a bad thing). Floors unfinished, so that kind of vibe. Food: a bit more complicated. Other reviews I saw complained about portions and meat. I ordered noodle beef jjampong and I think only got six pieces of meat for 14.45 (compare with the sliced radishes for scale, you'll see them when you walk in the door). Others in my group got the spicy jjampong and the meat Jajangmyeon, perhaps try those instead. I might come back later when I can evaluate this experience more objectively. Or just stick with pho if I want sliced beef.

    Lovely food and services! Felt like I was in South Korea! Everything is nice and clean.

    Didn't know the made culinary wars into a restaurant... I didn't expect to see Mr Paik seeing at the front. After taking a quick photo with the celebrity, I was greeted with many amazing food options and Asian drinks ranging from the sweet ones we got to the alcoholic ones I wished I could try (had work the next day). Much like the one I tried in LA, the jajangmyeon was great and the japchae was a much needed refreshing taste. However, I've finally tried the Jjampong (had a whole bowl to myself after the sample) and man was it one of my favorite seafood soups I've had. As a seafood fan, I loved the mussels that complimented the taste I got with the broth. Would highly recommend for those looking for a newer taste!

    We came here after watching the culinary class wars show on Netflix and it made me crave some jajangmyeon . They weren't super busy but they did have a few tables that were full. We got a spicy jajangmyeon and chili shrimp . It wasn't too spicy at all but the flavor was great . The chili shrimp wasn't as crispy as it was at the other Paik's noodle I had frequented . I want to come Back and try the cream shrimp , tangsuyuk, and seafood noodle . Service was really friendly and food came out fast !!

    Lunch combo- Jajangmyeon Sweet and Sour Chicken
    Jenn L.

    Definitely a good amount of food for the lunch combo and such a great deal! Add a bit of vinegar to your noodles and it's soooo tasty! The sweet and sour chicken was more fried batter than chicken and slightly on the over fried side but still good nonetheless with the sauce that helps soften it up. I came here on a weekday lunch and there were only 2 other tables there and no line to order. You come in, order, pay, and sit down. The lady behind the register brought my food out to new since it wasn't busy. There's a small area next to the pick up window for condiments.

    I don't really have anything bad to say about this place. The food is very average and good. Portions are average as well so you're not getting a whole bunch when it comes to the noodle dishes. We got the chili shrimp which came at a very decent portion for $20. Shrimps were jumbo sized and pretty big. I'm not the biggest fan of the sauce only because the garlic has an artificial taste to it but overall it's still good. Don't be fooled by the name it's not spicy at all. lol! I believe the name "chili" refers to like the sweet chili sauce for eggrolls. The fried dumplings were normal fried dumplings. I believe it was pork filled with cabbage/veggies if I'm correct. Nice crunch to it I personally liked to dip the fried dumpling in the Jajangmyeon sauce!!! Jajangmyeon is a little bit on the sweeter side, but I don't mind that I actually thought it went well with the pieces of pork on top. They're very generous with the sauce so if you love to eat foods that are super saucy, then this noodle dish is for you. I'm not too sure if it's just me, but I feel as if these noodles were a little bit bigger than what I'm used to, I don't have any problems with it but only that I couldn't finish my plate because it was so much hahah!!! The jjamppong definitely had a kick to it so if you're not used to eating mildly spicy stuff, then this noodle soup is probably not for you. It's not spicy in a sense where you have to drink tons and tons of water to reduce the heat, it's more of an aromatic spice that hits at the back of your throat. A good cough or two after every bite is what happened to me haha The noodle dishes do come with complementary yellow radish, which I thought added a nice touch. Typically a lot of places would not give you complementary yellow radish, but this place does!! I didn't know, but I guess they are doing stamp cards now, so if you come to this place often, then definitely seize this opportunity . Service is great, everyone there was really kind and friendly.

    Updated review for professionalism! The owners of this location did reach out and I do want to acknowledge that they were very transparent, took accountability, and vulnerable as a new restaurant should be. That takes a lot of courage. Unfortunately, I still don't plan to dine with Paik's in the near future however, I believe they handled the situation well. Hoping others who visit will have a better experience and best of luck to the business here~

    Sometimes when I crave for noodles, this is the place I would go to. The serving size is plenty. They have added more stuff on their menu to try. Not sure why, but I had a hard time ordering online. They do have incentives if you do order online. There are plenty of good eats in the strip mall; however, if you are craving for noodles, this would be the one I choose to go to for that.

    Valerie V.

    Came here for dinner and really enjoyed it! We ordered the Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and the Chili Shrimp. The portion sizes are huge definitely enough for two people to share! With two main dishes, side of rice and two drinks, the bill came out under $50. The flavors were bold, the shrimp was perfectly fried with just the right amount of sauce, and the soup had a nice balance of spice and seafood. Overall, a solid spot if you're craving hearty Korean-Chinese food and want generous portions that leave you full and happy.

    I was elated to learn that Paik's Noodle had opened in Fresno. One of the most globally popular Korean restaurant chains, Paik's Noodle is known for its signature Korean-Chinese (Sino-Korean cuisine) dishes: Jjangmyeon (black bean noodles), Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup), and Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). Paik's Noodle owes its popularity to the speed and consistency of its food preparation and straightforward creation of the delightful, familiar flavors of the dishes. Paik's Noodle also offers variations of the signature dishes, and the prices are reasonable. For example, you can swap noodles for steamed rice or egg-fried rice. Meat could be swapped out for seafood and vice versa. The Jjangmyeon starts at $10.35. Most dishes are under $15. If the combined heat and flavors of the Jjamppong dish - which starts at $13.45 - need a real kick, you can order it with more gochujang (traditional fermented hot chili paste). There is also Beef Jjamppong option which is a non-spicy variation without the seafood mix. The Tangsuyuk, $15.45 is their third signature dish and only meat choice. It is a delicious fried pork dish with cabbage, sliced carrots, onion, and wood ear mushrooms. The tangy sweet and sour sauce was on point, not too sweet or heavy. It is best to share this dish while ordering your noodle dish for a more satisfying dining experience. I also recommend the Gunmandu (pan-fried dumplings), and Bokkeummyeon (stir-fried noodles). The noodles are perfectly cooked. For the most part, they get my approval for the variety and consistency of dishes this restaurant chain is known for. I feel the jjajangmyeon is better than the jjampong at this location. The latter lacks some of the umami flavor and richness in its broth. But it is still a delicious noodle soup dish that I will order again here. If there are any complaints, it is that there is no water jar and dispenser like all other locations I have been to in Southern California. You can purchase bottled water, along with soda and soju. The free water, however, should be available and plentiful. You will want to drink a lot of it if you try the jjampong and any other spicy dish here. All said, welcome to Fresno Paik's Noodle! We needed a Korean noodle house, so they are a great addition to the community and growing food scene.

The standouts were the yangzhou fried rice which comes with shrimp, chicken, and vegetables. Loved all the meat here and big chunks of veggies. We all loved the orange chicken and the crispy fried pork especially. I tried to get my kids to sample the steam pork buns, but they wouldn't, which just meant more for me! Pillowy soft and full of tender BBQ pork, they were my fave. Truly a hidden gem right in the heart of Clovis!

The pot sticker was probably one of the best I've had in town, The wrapper was not too thick, Silky, Slightly crispy, And the filling was light and delicious not heavy. The Foil wrapped chicken Was different than any other place in that it was lighter and not overburdened with a salty sauce. As far as the entrees, My crispy beef was amazing, So crispy, With a delicious sauce. My husband's Kung pao chicken was so tasty, Everything was fresh and the chicken was not dry. The only downside to our entrees was that they were listed as spicy, But I think you have to ask for really spicy if you look like you can't handle it or something I don't know it just wasn't spicy at all. But we will definitely return and maybe ask for real spicy next time LOL.

There is finally a reasonably priced Chinese take-out option in town that I actually like. The Mongolian Beef featured tender, flavorful slices of meat paired with crisp, plentiful vegetables. The sauce complemented the dish rather than overwhelming it, and it was not overly greasy. The Garlic Chicken was also good, coated in a savory, slightly sweet soy glaze. The meat was soft and perfectly cooked, again accompanied by fresh, crunchy vegetables. Many of the dishes here are authentically Cantonese-style: savory, built around fresh ingredients, lightly sauced, and never excessively oily. Portions are generous as well. This stands in stark contrast to many other Chinese take-out spots I have tried, where the food leans salty, oversauced, and made with cheaper ingredients -- and becomes practically inedible once it cools down. Judging by the simple décor and limited seating, it is clear this restaurant prioritizes cooking over ambiance. Most customers opt for take-out, which likely helps keep prices affordable. Service is warm and efficient. You are greeted as soon as you walk in, and staff members are ready with ordering help and suggestions. Most lunch plates are $10.25 and come with steamed rice or chow mein, or pork fried rice for an additional $2. Lunch plates are offered daily from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM, including weekends. The menu covers a broad range of Cantonese and Szechuan favorites -- Kung Pao Chicken, Walnut Shrimp, General Tao Chicken, Szechuan Beef, chow mein, chow fun, plus several soups and fried rice options. Combination plates start at $12.90, and the family specials (three dishes for $41) are a solid value. All in all, it is a great spot for anyone craving affordable, satisfying Chinese food -- especially students and anyone on a tight budget.
