    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.

    Self service kiosks right at the front but if you like people interaction. Just slide on down to the counter. I haven't been to this location before but Paiks is my go to place for Korean-Chinese. Jjajangmyeon with the black bean sauce is my favorite along with the sweet and sour pork(tangsuyuk). Place was clean, albeit a little slow to get the food out.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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, Jjamppong, Sweet & Sour Pork
    Duyen T.

    Heard they opened up a location in Chinatown so decide to finally give it a try since it was close to me. The place was big, clean, and organized. It is a self serving style, you can order from the screen if your paying cash or go up to the counter if your paying cash, and get yourself water along with utilities and extra bowls. I ordered the Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong, and Sweet & Sour Pork. Jajangmyeon was an 10/10 as the noodles were chewy and the black bean sauce was flavorful. Jjamppong was an 8/10 the were the same as the Jajangmyeon but you would have to eat it quick since it does become soggy after awhile but it was flavorful though it had a lot more veggies than noodles. The Sweet and Sour Pork are nice and crispy, I liked how the sauce is served separately so the pork doesn't become soggy, 9/10. Overall the portion were very generous, ordering was easy & efficient, and food was good and flavorful!

    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.

Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it.
