Paik's Noodle - Jjajang rice with spicy seafood soup - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stir fry Jajangmyeon was soo good. Almost too saucy, but with a portion that huge we had a decent amount to take home even after splitting the dish between two of us. I would like to try their plain stir fry noodles next. Nice service and good recommendations. Simple spot with ample seating, clean, nice chill vibes. We got wings on the side which definitely aren't the star, but enjoyable nonetheless! read more

Went at 3PM ordered the meat jjangmyeon and spicy sweet chili chicken it was delicious, though the chicken had an odd smell it was good. We got to-go and the server was very fast. The bathroom is clean, fancy toilet lol and the inside wasn't that loud. (If you order to-go it's an extra dollar) read more

The fact that there were identifiable chunks of pork belly in the roux made the meal for me. There was way more sauce than noodle which is a good sign. Sauce was too sweet, but it was a solid jajangmyeon overall. A simple shop to satisfy the jajangmyeon/jjampong/tangsuyuk craving. read more

Paik's Noodle - Jajangmyeon - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Not like the picture. Mostly broth. Not enough everything. Mussels size of finger nail. Meat only 3 strands. Squid only 2 pieces. Not worth it read more

The food is good but they want to charge for a to-go container. This is really wrong. The cashier said that it was because there is a different takeout price. F that! They should not charge tax for takeout then. Plus WTF would they push me to tip! I could have saved on the tip for the take out container. I will never come back here! read more

In times when most restaurants in k-town cost $15 and up, Hong Kong Banjum is a reprieve. This is a no-frills Korean Chinese chain restaurant that's affordable and consistent. The location is on the small side and a good place to grab lunch, and less so for a leisurely lunch. There's no table service here, just pay upfront. They will hand you a number on paper that will be called out when your food is ready. I had their jjampong ($11.35) and it was good! Spicier than the one from HK Banjum in the valley, but delicious nonetheless. Believe it said something like 50 cent charge for take-out. Another perk is their parking lot, no valets. It is small and gets crowded soon after noon but when I went around opening time during the weekday, there were lots of open spots. Be sure to place your dishes on the table near the restroom when you leave. read more

Soooo delicious. We got jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork as well as the jjamppong with noodles. The jajangmyeon might be some of the best I've eaten in Ktown. The sweet and sour pork was good but felt as though the sauce lacked a bit. The jjamppong was very rich in seafood flavor and nicely spicy. I would recommend coming here I got order to go so I cannot attest to the service but the workers were nice upon pick up. read more

Best Korean Jjambbog in korea town. I think it's better than 6th st location. Ordered Jjajjangmyun and Jjambbong, those were really good. Also very friendly and attentive service. read more

Solid jjajangmyun! This place is always consistent a with the black bean noodles and tangsootuk.

I'm a big fan of HK Banjum. Whenever I don't know what to eat, I'll come to HK Banjum. I have tried everything on their menu and my fav is the black bean paste noodle with Tangsu. Highly recommend asking for vinegar, and mix with soy sauce as the dipping sauce. It matches Tangsu very well. Last, service: it's not always good cause sometimes I asked for extra yellow radish, they refused to give me additional. Usually, the vibe here is slow. Not a lot of customers. read more

SO GOOD! My grandma's favorite jjajangmyun spot. We come here every month for our lunch dates. They have the best jjambbong, jjajangmyun, and tangsuyuk (Korean Chinese pork dish with sweet and sour sauce). We don't go anywhere else, this is the spot! It's self service and food comes out fast. read more

Paik's Noodle - Jjajangmyun, Jjamppong, fried dumplings - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Oh...The food was really disappointing. It's nothing like the original taste of Hong Kong Banjum. The kitchen staff seriously needs to relearn how to cook. The Jajangmyeon was extremely bland--it tasted like someone added water to it. The Tangsuyuk is usually much crispier, but this time it was soggy and just not good. The Jjamppong was the only dish that was somewhat okay, but overall, everything was below expectations. read more

Recommended by Chef Roy Choi on Instagram. He posted the Jajang Bap, looked so Fire so I decided to get it for Dinner. Basically Shrimp Omelet over rice and black bean sauce with a Spicy Pork & Seafood soup. This dish hit home, it was very comforting. Always love supporting local businesses, def go check them out! read more

There are a few locations around Ktown, but in my humble opinion, this location has the best noodle dishes. The jjajangmyun and jjampong are so smoky and delicious that I always end up inhaling my noodles in a few minutes. Also, their tangsuyuk isn't the best, but it's a great item to share with your table. read more

Had to eat with the kid while waiting for wife to finish work, so came her since kid loves the jjajangmyun at the local HK Banjum near our house. Being a chain, food is consistent and is a great comfort food, lol. Ordered that for the kid, but I wanted to try something new, so got the beef jjampong, since I can't handle the spicy regular jjampong too well even though I love to eat it. Well, forget the beef jjampong. There was no character to this dish unfortunately... Just a clear broth with msg I guess, no depth of real flavor... Stick to their signature offerings, jjajangmyun or jjampong, don't bother trying the newer beef jjampong, I was the guinea pig for you on that one. read more

Stopped on a Saturday around noon time for take out. I called 30 minutes earlier to order. I ordered 2 jampong, 3 jajangmien and the sweet and sour pork. I wanted the large jajangmien (enough for 2 people) but it still said coming soon on their menu. My order was ready when I arrived. They packed everything into a nice box. The jajangmien sauce was separated from the noodles with this extra layer. Lots of sauce which is good. The sauce was delicious and a bit sweet the way I like it. Came with pickled radish. The jampong had a strong seafood taste which is good. It wasn't too spicy but they gave us a side of spicy powder if you wanted it spicier. The sweet and sour pork was just okay. A bit tough to eat. I put it in the air fryer to reheat to it was little bit more crispy. The sauce was also packed separately. Overall the meal was good. Comfort food. Prices were pretty cheap. They are located in a small plaza with limited 20 minute parking. I was able to get a spot. Service was normal. Paid with credit card and was on my way. Will definitely come back again if I was in the area. Came during COVID times. Everyone was wearing masks and social distancing. read more

oh. my. goodness. the person at the cashier gives me SO MUCH ATTITUDE. I don't know how she is able to work here and that her boss is letting her work here. She is so rude to customers. My appetite got ruined because of her attitude. Not only me, but she serves other very rudely too. I really don't understand how she's working here. Really. Please have someone be the cashier who is much friendly and nice to customers. read more

Food was decent at best. Think it's slightly overpriced compared to other CHINESE restaurants and the servers are not as serving or friendly. Never coming back. read more

The owner/manager lady is super off... she was screaming at her workers and customers the whole time we were eating. We were so overstimulate by her constant ringing of the bell and yelling that we decided to eat our food at home but she wouldn't give us a Togo box. She wanted to charge us 50 cents only in cash. I offered to purchase a drink so she can add a charge and she said no because the credit card fees are too high. We ended using the styrofoam cups and napkins to take our food. read more

Satisfying meal, good portion size for noodles. Park in lot or on street. I like the prices and the air conditioning inside during summer. Nice vibes during weekday. Clean interior with window view bar seating too. Fast and efficient. read more

This is my favorite go to place in the area. I've been here serval times and always had a good experience. Food(3/5)- we ordered jjajangmyen and jjamppong and jjajangbob and sweet and sour pork. This place foods are a lot so you can share with your friends. Jjajangbob was salty to us and we got drinks water a lot after eat here. sweet and sour pork was good as usual. Service(2/5)- the cashier was nice and this place is totally self-service. When you in here, go to the cashier for order your food and they will give you number. When they calling your number, you have to pick foods up at front. Ambience (1/5)- nothing special place but I only went to this place for eat jjamppong or sweet and sour pork. I thought this place was better than other location. read more

Paik is kind of a big deal in the food industry of Korea? He built an empire/range of eateries/coffee shops. Hong Kong focuses on Korean Chinese cuisine. We chose this location because it offers free parking. However it has a more limited menu compared to the one in Hangari plaza. My husband and I ordered their two most popular items: black bean noodles and spicy noodle soup. Honestly one bowl would have easily fed the two of us. For under $9 per person, we were beyond stuffed. The noodles were perfectly cooked (a little chewy and soaked up all the flavor beautifully). I loved the black bean sauce - a good balance of savory (minced pork and pan fried onions) and sweetness (aromatic black bean paste and sugar). I slurped up every ends and bits - delish! The spicy noodle soup was also very satisfying. Overall - awesome value! would def return for more noodle goodness! read more

Their service is terrible since one old lady is taking orders, calls, telling the chefs, getting the trays, etc. had to wait 5 mins for her to hang up and order my food then i found a seat. she kept telling me to find a new seat moving me around. read more

I ate Jjajangmyeon, but the amount of food was too small and expensive compared to the amount

Omg. I saw the roach in the JJJajang-myoun. It is so disgusting! This place is totally dirty. The noodles and soup were dropped on the red tables. No one cleaned it. The cashier lady was horrible too. It was around 6 PM. She was on her cell phone all the time in front of me. The customers were lined up, but she was still stuck on her Cell phone for 15 minutes. I saw 9 people in line. I said can I order? She started yelling at me. I just got out of this place. When I got out I saw the roach in Jjajangmyoun. read more

My family and I have had Hong Kong Banjum several times. We usually order to-go since we aren't from the area, and just pick this up as a meal to enjoy once we're home after passing through Koreatown. The food here is always good and is reasonably priced. The tangsuyuk, even after a half-hour drive home, is crispy and hot, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. I give this place four stars because I enjoy more savory jajangmyeon, but Hong Kong Banjum (every location, not just this one) tends to have slightly sweeter sauce. It's not bad, it's just not my preference. Overall, a solid meal every time. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon and ordered the jjamppong and jajangmyeon. Place wasnt too busy, food came out fast within 10 minutes. Everything tasted fantastic and service was outstanding. Food came out fast too. Will definitely recommend. BIG PORTIONS you will be full when you leave! Also I like how this place gives unlimited yellow radish, and seems to very sanitary. Have option to use plastic utensils and cups. Note: Parking lot is a bit small. read more
