jjamppong
Darian C.

I really liked their noodle texture it was very qq - chewy and has a good bounce. I thought their jajangmyeon was good and also enjoyed their fried chicken. I thought their jjamppong was pretty good as well but enjoyed their jajangmyeon more. You order on the kiosk when you come in and pick it up at the front, then you return your tray to the front after, the inside has quite a few seating.

You order yourself at the self-kiosk by the door and when your food is ready they'll call you up by your number to pick-up your food at the counter. The jjajangmyeon noodles have a nice bounce and the sauce is not too sweet and is savory at the same time. The sauce for the tangsuyuk comes on the side which I appreciate. There's plenty of seating available and is on a first come, first serve basis.

When you enter the door you are greeted my 2 self order machines. Pails has opted to have customers use their touch screen to thumb through different food items. I am a bit disappointed I didn't have the opportunity to speak with a waitress or staff member to ask for suggestions based on what I wan in the mood for. When your food is ready your order number is broadcasted for you to head to the counter and retrieve your dish(s). There is a visual aspect that is inviting in the restaurant. A cook is displayed behind the counter person with a huge wok on a stovetop. I want to let you know I'm not a fan of this system of announcing order numbers for people to retrieve their items. The speaker system is loud and it should be to ensure that everyone in the restaurant can hear their order. I just didn't like it. The fried dumplings were hot unfortunately they left flavor and taste. I should have ordered something else, but I thought their dumplings would be something special saying that it's a Korean and Chinese fusion restaurant. That being said the stir-fried Jajangmyean was tasty and full of flavor. I excluded the squid. I added a dash of Soy sauce for a tad more saltiness. The dish is enough food for 2 adults! I enjoyed the experience although it's not Benihana. It was a wonderful experience to see the cooks in the back with the large Woks preparing orders. I enjoyed my stir-fry it the most and so will go back to try other dishes. I know Asian Pacific Islander month is gone, but I wanted to pay one more homage to that month so that's why I chose this restaurant. I figured I could kill two birds with one stone metaphorically not physically. I recommend this restaurant, if you speak the language or are more savvy with your phones capabilities than I am, you might have an easier time figuring out many options. I rate this restaurant at 4.5 stars, but that's not an option with the rating system so I will give them a 4. GN3

Pork Jajangmyeon
Sergio G.

This place has got some AMAZING jajangmyeon! I'd love to see Paik's get a bit more love! Their bellaire location, from what i've heard, is the most consistent in terms of quality. Food has amazing flavor, but it can feel a little heavy on the oil at times for me. Staff here is usually kind, but it's not so much a full sit-down restaurant experience, so they don't usually interact with guests outside of handling the order and calling out numbers. I would caution against opting for extra protein options -- they don't tend to put much extra meat when you do and I just don't think it's worth the extra cost.

Sweet and sour chicken (sauce on the side)
Leilani M.

Honestly so yum! I got the stir fried seafood jajangmyeon and I enjoyed it though I felt that for the extra nearly $10 it's not quite worth as I'm pretty sure there were less than 5 small shrimps and a few peices of squid - personally not substantial enough to essentially pay the cost of another regular jajangmyeon bowl. We also ordered the sweet n sour chicken. So so crispy and yumm.. though it really reminded me of McDonalds chicken nuggs with their sweet n sour sauce. Overall I'd come back as the food was good and honestly pretty affordable.

The only non-pork meat dish is this beef noodle soup.
Lou C.

I have been waiting for Paik's to open at DiHo Square for quite awhile. Ever since the closing of Kuen's Noodle House, I got so excited when I saw Paik's Noodle sign hung on the building. After reading few reviews at other branches. I was dying to try Jajangmyeon. The pictures looked so yummy and fresh. Unfortunately, my experience was completely opposite for what I expected. I ordered take out. It came with a container of yellow pickled daikon, box of cold noodles with some peas as garnish and hot Jajangmyeon sauce (temperature hot). I was curious about the noodles. So, I asked the employee. He said the noodles was manufactured from somewhere else. Overall, I don't like the kiosk being far away from the counter. The employees didn't look friendly. I never felt welcomed. For what I paid for, I would rather eat at other restaurants. Oh, everything is pork. The only non-pork meat dish is Beef Jjamppong, otherwise it's vegetables.

Jajangmyeon
Leslie K.

Kiosk ordering was simple. The serving size is enough for 2. We ordered the jajangmyeon, which felt light on the meat. I wish that we had ordered the meat jajangmyeon. The tangsuyuk was excellent fresh - very crispy and hot. Happy they opened a location in Chinatown.

jajangmyeon & tangsuyuk & jjampong
Allison L.

Jajangmyeon is a must try! The noodles are so bouncy and savory. Definitely on the heavier end, but the sauce and pickled radish combo is delish. The jjampong was my least favorite just because it was a bit too salty for me and I couldn't taste much of a seafood flavor. The Tangsuyuk has to be eaten fresh! It was hot and crispy and the sauce was thick and sweet. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10. You order thru kiosk and pick up at the counter. It was super convenient and the restaurant has lots of seating.

Anthea R.

Self service counter. Pretty pricey, and set up looks like a narrow Asian grocery food court. The fried chicken was really tasty. The jajangmyeon with extra meat was good, but not the best I've ever had. The beef soup noodle was gentle with a slight kick of fresh Serrano peppers. The major downside was that the menu was limited to mostly pork heavy dishes with seafood, and beef here and there. The chicken option was mostly the wings. Would come back to get more wings.

A very jam packed day today going around the city and crossing off my checklist. Towards the end of my errands for today, I was feeling hungry. I decided to visit one place from a Instagram post. I luckily remembered it and crossed my mind today. I had to try Paiks Noodle. What I recall, there is a specialty dish that I am a fan of that really swayed me to stop in. I had to try the black bean noodles (jajangmyeon) and the sweet & sour pork (tangsuyuk). I went with the stir fried jajangmyeon that is bit spicier with shrimp, squid and vegetables. Two words: family portion. They are big portions to share. I did enjoy the flavors of the stir fried jajangmyeon with a more enhancement from the original simplicity of the dish. The tangsuyuk is crunchy and had that nice bite. The sweet and sour sauce is on the side for you to dip or pour as much as you like. All came with the Korean yellow radish if you are familiar with that side dish. Overall enjoyed the visit. I definitely know a place to visit for jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk. But they also have other items like soups, wings, rice, dumplings, and other entree choices. This is a very causal spot to stop in with a fair amount of seating. You grab your utensils, bowls, to go items and water dispenser if you choose not to purchase a bottle drink. *some things to note* I stopped in during their second half of the day, the staff are on a break from 3:00-5:00 pm and then opened for dinner service. Tuesdays they are not open and open every other day. Lastly, the prices are fair if you are dining solo. But the portion sizes are a nice amount and for my two dishes for today, I would consider them good for 2-4 people. *One lesson* If you choose to eat black bean noodles and like to live dangerously, I dare you to wear white. Number 1 rule ever, "No white clothing" unless you are ready to accept you won't come with some sauce stains. Carry a tide to go or wipes. I hope to come back for more especially when it becomes colder later this season.

Meat jajangmyeon
Jennifer N.

Got takeout from Paik's. Got the extra meat jajangmyeon and the tangsuyuk. The jajangmyeon was flavorful and rich, the noodles nice and bouncy. The tangsuyuk had a nice mochi-like crust, not too crispy, with a sweet sauce that worked well. Good portion size, enough for two with some leftovers to spare. Definitely will need to try other options!

Jajangmyeon, jjamppong, potstickers
Christy L.

OK of course we had to try this place after watching Culinary Class Wars. This place lived up to the hype- just some solid/very good jajangmyeon with other korean-chinese fusion dishes. In addition to the jajangmyeon, we also tried the sweet and sour pork, potstickers, and the jjamppong. - The jajangmyeon is delicious and perfectly sweet with well cooked noodles. A true staple and must get when you come here. Also the spicy version tastes better in my opinion, but it is also a building spice, so ideally, see if you can mix the spicy and non-spicy versions together for a perfect medium. - The sweet and sour pork is one of those dishes where the more you eat it, the more intrigued you become and the better it gets. I think its breaded with a mochi crispy exterior that makes it both crispy and chewy. You dip the pork in a sweet and sour sauce the reminds you of Chinese suan la tang (sweet and sour soup). - The potstickers were fried to a perfect crisp, but the filling wasn't anything special. - Personally, my least favorite dish was the jjamppong (seafood, pork based soup), but it is still worth a try. We just got the snack size! Ambiance was good. You order from the kiosk at the front. Overall, glad to have tried it and it feels even more special having watched Paik on the show. Everyone should go watch it by the way!! 10/10 recommend.

I was ecstatic when they announced that there would be a second Paiks Noodle location in Houston, especially much closer to my house than their other location in Korea Town. I finally had the chance to check it out recently. This location is located in Chinatown, and the interior was really nice. I ordered the foods to-go this time. The portion size was just as large as the other location, and the quality was just as good. I got the meat jajangmyeon, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk, and they were all super tasty. Pictured noodles are only half portion of each. Can't wait to go back for more.

Yuk Dae Jang might be my new favorite Korean soup spot. The broth alone is to die for! Very rich,…read morecomforting, and packed with authentic flavor in every bite. I had the spicy seafood soup with fresh noodles, and it was spectacular. The noodles were cooked perfectly and soaked up all that incredible broth. The mix of shrimp, mussels, and squid made it feel hearty and well-balanced. I also tried my friend's beef short rib soup, which was just as delicious, definitely ordering that next time. The banchan really impressed me too. The kimchi had the perfect crunch and might be some of the best I've had. The fish cakes and scallions were also on point. The space is small but great for lunch or a casual dinner. Service was friendly, restrooms were clean, and overall it was a great experience. I'll definitely be back.

The bossam was delicious, plentiful with a good mix of sides. The bulgogi was sweet and a large portion. The seollangtang tasted a little strange to me but was full of meat and noodles. Service was quick and the restaurant was quiet, but played kpop over the speakers. It was a good place to chat. I remember liking their galbijjim the last time I was here. Overall, great place for classic Korean food that can be hard to find elsewhere!

This spot is located in a small plaza next to a busy trampoline park, and inside, it's very clean and well maintained. Each table has a menu of the offerings WITH pictures (so you don't have to scour Yelp like I usually do for pictures....). The waitresses come by to help answer any questions if you have any. To be honest, I think the menu tablets are a bit overkill since they have a small enough menu to look though, but it is good for people who aren't familiar with Korean food or the establishment itself. What's nice is you can get many of the dishes with noodles or rice as your starch of choice. 10/10 Jjamppong - the broth is flavorful, seafood rich, and noodles perfectly bouncy. SOO good. I couldn't finish the whole bowl, so it's easily shareable. 7/10 Chicken Fried Rice. It's expensive for the amount of rice you get. Flavor is good, but there's not a lot of chicken. Would suggest an appetizer as well if you want to stay full. This location does not have unlimited pickled radishes like the Spring Branch location. All in all, I really liked the food - I'll only really come back here for the noodle soup, but that's enough for me since they specialize in both the jjamppong and jiajangmyeon.

We ordered the following: (out of 3 *rating) **Bulgogi Tteopoki - delicious but not what I expected. The sauce is similar to a stirfry, but the Bulgogi is done very well. Think of a japchae flavored Tteopoki dish Dumplings (Mandu) - they gave us the option to pan fry or steam, we chose to steam! Did not try, cannot rate ***2x assorted meat platters (enough for 6)- worth the quality of cut and preparation, done tableside. Each different platter was done beautifully, and grilled tenderly. The marinade was well done on the short ribs. **banchan- my favorite was the pickled radish and cabbage kimchi. Not a lot of variety compared to other places, but each dish was done very well. I didn't really care for the potato salad. * doenjang/soybean soup: maybe it's just me, but it was very salty. Not my top choice of soup regardless. **kimchi-jjigae : very solid kimchi stew. The right amount of heat to pair rice with well but it's so rich. I could only have a couple bites to the end of the meal. ***hotteok with chocolate ice cream. It's a simple dessert and done very well. The cinnamon and sugar come out balanced very nicely with the chocolate. Service: So attentive and fast !

Our family has been coming to Korea Garden for years, even before Korean BBQ became so popular…read more A couple of things have always been consistent for us: we pretty much order the same dishes every time (kimchi stew, galbi, bulgogi, and more recently the scallion pancake), and we always leave satisfied. The side dishes are delicious, the meat is delicious, and the soup is delicious. We've also ordered seafood and pork dishes in the past, and they were excellent as well. I especially appreciate the cozy, family-friendly atmosphere of the restaurant. The servers are always kind and attentive, and in over 10 years we've never left without looking forward to coming back again and again.

Korea Garden has been around for decades, and it's one of those places I keep coming back to…read more Korean food in general has gotten pricier over the years, and lunch here will run you around $20-$30, but the quality is consistently good. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Gal Neung combo (naengmyun + galbi). The naengmyun was excellent--chewy noodles, broth ice cold (but not watery), and a delicious flavor that hit the spot. Honestly, it's one of the better naengmyun options in Houston, though I'd still rank Dallas, LA, and of course Korea above it. The galbi was just as good: perfectly barbecued, served sizzling on a mini grill, sweet and savory with just the right amount of char. A couple notes: the lunch special doesn't come with rice (makes sense since the naengmyun is the carb), but you do get a nice assortment of side dishes. Don't expect dessert though--no fruit, shikhye, or yogurt drink that you might find at other Korean spots. The restaurant itself is quite large, with semi-private booths that work well for meetings. I asked for privacy and they kindly accommodated me with a booth in the back. The atmosphere is clean, dimly lit, and feels a little upscale. Parking is also easy, with plenty of spots right in front--no valet hassles. Service was generally good, though it was clear they didn't want us lingering too long. The check came out early, and even after paying we were asked several times if we needed anything else, which made it feel a little rushed. All in all, if you're looking for solid Korean food in Houston, Korea Garden is a great choice. It's not cheap, and it's not a place to camp out for hours, but the quality of the food--especially the naengmyun and galbi--make it worth a visit.
