We arrived at 6pm on a Wednesday and were seated immediately. Restaurant looks clean and the decor is minimalistic. The restaurant seemed pretty busy but the servers were attentive to us. You order on an iPad. * black bean sauce noodles: 4/5 - flavorful but noodles slightly overcooked * creamy spicy seafood noodles: 5/5 - this dish was super unique, great spice level, and flavorful! I've never seen a dish like this before Overall, portions were huge and would definitely come back! read more

When I came for soft opening I feel like the seafood jjamppong had quite a lot of seafood. It still has a good amount now, but definitely less. And I do love the spice kick! I think I prefer the sweet and sour pork at paiks noodle. This one had less pork and more of the breading (mochi-ing?) but the flavor was still good. Jajangmyeon is good as well. Personally I prefer with more meat, but it is tasty. I do like that they have the 2 person and 4 person set meals. Makes ordering a breeze! Not sure if you have any money with the sets though. Service was decent. read more

Bobae is a Chinese Korean concept that replaced the Korean bar in Factoria. Pulled up just after 6PM on a Friday night and was seated immediately at a 4 top; it didn't look like a wait ever built up the whole time we were there. Parking is in the shared lot with QFC and is super easy to find. Overall, food was pretty tasty with some dishes that outshine Paik's and the serving sizes are MASSIVE. Great option for Korean Chinese food. Cream Jjamppong (4.25/5): My favorite dish of the night. The cream adds a super luscious mouthfeel to the broth as a backdrop to bouncy, thick noodles. Jjamppong (3.75/5): Not quite as good as the fusion version. Same nice quality noodles, generous amount of seafood, but the broth was just a bit one note. Jjajangmyeon (3.5/5): This classic is unfortunately not my favorite here. There was pretty much no meat and there wasn't a smoky flavor to the black bean sauce that I was looking for. Once again, nice noodles though. Tangsuyuk (4.25/5): I actually think Bobae's version is better than Paik's; much better ratio of meat to batter. Comes out piping hot, crunchy, and the meat isn't overcooked. Thick sweet and sour sauce exactly as you expect. Kkanpunggi (4.25/5): Not my typical order, but came with the set and was incredible. Good kick of spice against the sweet and salty garlic flavors. Chicken could have been a touch more tender, but the sauce is to die for. read more

Tangsuyuk, jamppong, and jjajangmyeon... the classic korean-chinese trifecta! And Bobae does them well. Pick the combo you want because there's no wrong choices. Tangsuyuk is very crispy, with sauce on the side (as it should be) Jamppong is flavorful and doesn't taste instant and the noodles aren't soggy *shudders* Jjajangmyeon isn't too much black bean and has a touch of smoke/scorch to it that the hubs liked Solid spot. Would we rave about it? Maybe not. But we'd definitely come by if we're near and craving a hit of noodles and crispy nuggs. 3.5 or 4 stars! read more

This is a very well run restaurants. The foods are great, plemty of drinks option, service was fast and the vibe is great. Easy to order since it done via the tablet on your table. The portion are big too!! We came in for the Tangsuyuk but got jajangmyeon and the spicy chicken as well. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good noodle/korean food restaurant I suggest go early tho; it can get really busy on peak hours and weekend; and parking sucks in that parking lot in general. read more

Came here early on a Friday evening and got to see the place fill up over the course of my dinner. It seems to be a popular local spot for all ages, and I saw lots of families and groups having a meal here too. I got the classic combo for 2 people that included jajangmyeon, jjamppong (lots of seafood!), and tangsuyuk, as well as added on a pepper-fried yuringi. Honestly, the yuringi was the star of the meal but everything else was also yummy. Service was pretty good too despite them being busy. The food came out quickly, portions were large, our needs were checked on throughout the meal, and ordering was all done on the tableside tablet. I'll be back! read more

Bobae Noodle house is a great addition to the food options in the factoría area. There's a good amount of space and seating inside and it's been remodeled to have a real woody look. You get seated and there's a tablet provided at the table for you to look through the menu and order. You're even able to request the check at the end through the table which was convenient. The staff will still have to bring it to you but nice since you don't need to ask anyone for it. I would definitely come back and there are set meals for various groups. I would definitely say the portion sizes are on the smaller side but it would be enough to feed you. Personally I would go to Paiks but this is a good option if you're in the factoría area. Staff: nice (5/5) Sanitation: very clean (5/5) Black bean fried rice (5/5) I thought the black bean sauce was really good with the fried rice. There were a lot of different things included in the fried rice like shrimp which was a nice addition. Sweet and sour pork (3.5/5) The sweet and sour pork was decently crispy but the meat inside was really dry. The sauce was good too but a little bit on the tangy side. I might order this again but maybe it was the batch we got that was on the dry side. read more

Thankful that this place is in a plaza so there's ample amount of parking. In addition, I came here at about 6 so there wasn't much of a wait. The service was pretty quick and attentive after placing the order on the tablet. I would say the ambiance is what you would expect for a late night place - pretty lively and loud, especially since they close at midnight. The food itself was decent - the amount was enough to fill up two people with some leftovers and the price was about right. I would say that the chicken was alright - was surprised about the spice and then it was pretty sweet. The noodles were decent but I wish that they had more toppings to balance out the amount of noodles. read more

Bobae Korean Noodle House - Korean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Welp Chi Chi is no more, but it has since been replaced by this noodle house, which keeps most if not all of the interior, lighting and vibe as Chi Chi itself. This time, the K-pop music isn't too loud, and there are a ton more people packed inside from our visit on a Friday evening from 6-7pm; people basically kept coming in and filling the tables on the half of the dining area closest to the main entrance. Since my party of 3 got here early, we got seated immediately. As with Chi Chi, you place your orders on a bulky tablet though the offerings are limited. We all got their noodle dishes, and for mines I got their bobae jjamppong. This one includes wooden ears, clams, pork and veggies (to name a few of the ingredients) all in a relatively spicy soup. This was quite hard to eat since it was slightly above the spicy levels I'm able to handle, but looking past that the whole dish was delicious and all the ingredients fitted in quite well. We also split a side of fried dumplings, which are your usual standard, nothing special but also a nice way to keep ourselves full. This palace actually works better than what Chi Chi was, and my whole group agreed that we loved our dishes! One of my friends got their creamy jjamppong, and my other friend got their jajangmyeon, and both were awesome according to them. We'd all come back here! read more

We finally got the chance to try out bobae last night. Our verdict? It was what we thought it was: pretty ok hahaha. Giving it a 4/5 but it's probably more of a 3.5 tbh. Is it worth the hype? Probably not. Would I go out of my way or make a long drive to have it again? Probably not. With that said, food's good + the service is pretty great! We ended up getting their "2 person classic set" for $45, which includes an order of jjajangmyun, jjangpong, and tangsuyuk. - jjajangmyun 3.5/5 it's pretty good! Not the best I've had but definitely better than instant jjajang haha - jjangpong 3.5/5 my friend is the one who ate this one but that was his rating - tangsuyuk 4/5 this was our fav item on their menu. It was on par with tangsuyuk ive had at other chain restaurants IN korea. read more

This is a very lively noodle shop with Korean music and neon lights decoration all over the store. We tried the premium combo for 4 and there were so much food we had leftovers for the next day.

This is a new place that took over Chi chi. Never got the chance to go there so not sure how much was redone. Went here for dinner one night and there was no wait for a table. Servers were very nice. You order on the tablet and there's pictures to help give a visual aid. We got the 2 person cream combo set of jjajangmyeon, cream Jjamppong, Tangsuyuk (half size). It was a ton of food for us two adults and kiddo. We ended up taking most of it home. I think it's well worth the value for the combo sets. Would definitely come back and try other things. read more

Very excited for a new Chinese/korean place! Came in on a Friday night for dinner and it was quite packed and loud. It's def a more casual vibe. Service was pretty fast tho, and ordering through the tablet was super convenient. My friend and I shared the jjajangmyeon and classic jjamppong. First of all, portions are really big. And prices are super reasonable. They provide radish and onion as side dishes as well. Both noodle dishes were really good. Jjajangmyeon was smooth savory and saucy. Noodles were satisfyingly chewy. The onions and cabbage added to the sweetness. One gripe is that the bits of pork were super dry and chewy. Jjamppong was also yummy. Definitely spicy, but a pretty good pain haha. They give quite a lot of seafood which was nice. But similar issue with the jjajangmyeon, pork was dry. Overall, a pretty good spot! The flavors really hit for me, though I would've enjoyed it a lot more if the pork was more tender. Also can't beat a less than 20 meal in this economy! read more

Bobae Korean Noodle House - Jjajangmyeon and jjamppong - Korean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Saw this place few times when we passed in factoria and in social media. This one located in factoria village, next to starbuck, same complex with great harvest bread, uni bank, etc. Parking: plenty free shared parking. Restroom: women and men restrooms. Seating: indoor only. Lots of space for big party. They also bar seating area. Menu and order via tablet on table. When we got there around 11ish, there's only few ppl there, and then more ppl dine in lunch time. But its not that crowded that you need a reservation. Our server is super nice, explaining the menu and their top dishes since this is our first time. Their menu mostly noddle base. Mostly spicy if you the symbols on next to the dish picture, but it's not that spicy, probably 2 stars. The only one has no spice at all was Jjajangmyeon. So we ordered; Jjajangmyeon - blackbean noddle Cream jjamppong - creamy seafood noddle Tangsuyuk - crispy pork w korean sweet sour sauce Overall I like it. The food are similar to the one we ate at Paik Noddle in Uwajimaya Bellevue complex. They gave you raw onion and pickle Radish for side dish...hmmm.... Everything on their dish has lots of onion. read more

Food - 4 stars Price - $$$ Ambience - 4 stars Service - 5 stars I only took a star away coz of the price. Now let me get to the cool part. So many good things. A nice pub vibe, Korean music in background. The server checks on you frequently. Even if you don't know what to order and don't understand Korean food they patiently explain and help you choose. I feel this should be the norm. Well we are in times where hospitality feels so special. For people who want to explore Korean food, please start from here. This place has no judgements. We ordered the creamy Jjampong, the Bobae Jjampong and the pepper fried yuringi. It all hit the spot. We alternated between the spicy Jjampongs to balance the heat. And I forgot to take the pics Overall this will definitely be shortlisted to be amongst my weekly - Can't cook, let's eat out list P.S. So happy to see Factoria stepping up as the Asian especially Korean food hub. read more

This restaurant replaced Chi Chi. I think this is a good move. There isn't a Korean/Chinese fusion restaurant on this side of Bellevue anymore. This is a great addition. I would guess that folks from Issaquah and Sammamish would gladly come here for some Jjajangmyeon instead of having to drive all the way to Bothell or downtown Bellevue. I like the fact that they don't put too much MSG into their Jjamppong. I cannot eat Jjamppong these days at most Korean/Chinese cuisine restaurants anymore because of all the artificial seasoning taste but this place doesn't use too much. Jjajangmyeon is good but there is something that is slightly off from the norm. Not in a bad way but it has a bit of herbal(?) taste or it could be like honey maybe? I cannot exactly pinpoint but there is something slightly uniquely in there. The egg that comes with it though is overcooked to death. Definitely don't need to be in the dish. Tangsuyuk was amazing. Fried to perfection and and the sauce wasn't too sweet. Service was great today. Food came out faster than Jimmy John's haha. The ambiance looks like a bar/lounge. Hasn't changed much from Chi Chi. But it is not distracting or anything. They had a huge screen that played kpop music videos via YouTube. I will be back here with my buddies for some drinks and provide an update. read more

Came on a weekday lunch and it was fairly busy but still got seated almost right away. We got the tangsuyuk (crispy fried pork in a sweet sauce) and jjajangmyeon (black bean and pork noodle dish). Both were solid and decent sized portions for the price. Service was so-so; you really have to wave someone down to get a box or the check. Service is already minimized in general: you order on a tablet on your table and there's a large bottle of water on the table for you to do your own refills. The food came within 15 min or so but no one checks on you afterward. Pretty casual, bustling atmosphere. Overall, I thought it was good and glad we tried it but will probably keep trying new places! read more

Went here with a friend and shared a jjajangmyeon and sa cheon tangsuyuk and crispy dumplings. I've been wanting to try some new Korean food other than the basics, and this was an awesome place to start! It's in a strip mall with lots of parking, and has a clean, stylish interior. There's a lot of spots but it gets pretty busy on weekends, so I'd recommend trying to come before 12:00pm. I really liked the tangsuyuk -- spicy, umami, and very very garlicky (which I love). The dumplings were perfectly crispy, and jjajangmyeon texture was perfect. The flavor wasn't my personal favorite, but I think that's just my own preference. The portion size of the chicken was really generous! The noodle size less so, but it was a lot cheaper so I think it makes sense for the price. read more

Pretty decent! We got the 4-person spicy set and the creamy Jjampong, which was my favorite dish. The portions were pretty enormous and good flavors. I'm taking off a star the for 1 hour wait for food, the hostess did warn us that it would be about 30-40 min but it was still longer than that, and service was just okay. The food safety rating was also unfortunately "needs to improve". Hoping the experience is better next time read more

Wanted to try the new bobae noodle restaurant after being a regular at chi chi and had a great time! Came here on a Friday evening and got seated right away. The inside looks almost exactly the same, except the DJ booth is gone. It seems like they took out the social aspect in the tablets at the tables as well. But you're still able to order through the tablets which was nice. Service is great. They are very friendly there and food came out at a decent pace. A little on the slower side to be honest, but it was worth it. The somek tower came out quick though and definitely got us tipsy lol. We ordered two of the jjajangmyeon and one creamy jjamppong. Normally I don't like jjajangmyeon but this one was actually delicious! Great price too. It also has some pork or pork belly too that I really enjoyed. The creamy jjamppong was good as well - very flavorful with noodles cooked perfectly. The broth had a nice heat and the creaminess was great. Would definitely come back again! read more

Glad to see another jajangmyeon option in Bellevue. Came here during soft opening on a Saturday and thankfully made a reservation bc there were a lot of people. The only thing weird was the hostess called me 10 min before my reservation time and asked me if I was still coming- I was already in the parking lot so it wasn't an issue but it was really strange to call me 10 min before my actual reservation time. We ordered jajangmyeon, basil cream shrimp and tangsuyuk. Everything was good but to be honest portion was a bit small for the price, especially the jajangmyeon. Also the cocktails and drinks look so good- I really wish they'd offer mocktails or nonalcoholic versions. Overall it's solid but I think portions could be a bit bigger vs other jajangmyeon places in eastside. I think I still prefer the other famous jajangmyeon in Bellevue (starts with a P) read more

The broth for the seafood jjamppong was really flavorful and I thought the dish was pretty filling. The chilly shrimp was mid and I didn't find it to taste particularly good, just passable. My order was messed up and I received an extra order of jjamppong that I got to keep which was really nice of them to correct their mistake! I'm a sucker for good noodles, so I can see myself coming back for sure. read more

I'm going to try to be as polite and respectful as possible, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. This review is based on a to-go order. Jjajangmyeon - it was mostly noodles with what felt like a very small amount of black bean sauce, not nearly enough to coat the noodles. The sauce itself lacked flavor and didn't have the usual chopped onions or ingredients you would expect. The menu mentioned pork, but we didn't see any in the sauce. No smoky flavor. Jjamppong - the broth lacked the depth and smoky flavor that normally makes this dish so good. It tasted more like spicy water and was quite bland overall. The ingredients also looked like chopped leftover pieces of vegetables and seafood that were just added in, and we didn't find any larger pieces of seafood. Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) - the pork had an unusual smell and the sweet-and-sour sauce tasted off. The food was disappointing enough that we tried eating it but ended up throwing most of it away. Hopefully the restaurant can improve, because Korean-Chinese food can be incredibly flavorful when done well. If you're looking for examples of what this cuisine typically tastes like, we've had much better experiences at places like Woori Banjeom in Federal Way and Modoo Banjeom in Lynnwood. read more

Looking for a fun, late-night spot to eat & drink with your friends? Then I recommend Bobae for that -- I saw that they're open until 2 AM select night, and I like the ambiance they've constructed on the inside. Kpop videos stream on the TV, and the brick walls + neon lights are a vibe! That said, I found the food just okay. I tried this after having already tried Paik's Noodle, and I think the food is subpar in comparison to Paik's, especially the Fried Chicken and Jajangmyeon. That said, the ambiance + late night hours are definitely a vibe! read more

I really wanted to like this place because the staff were incredibly friendly and the restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained. However, as a Korean-Chinese restaurant, the food--the most important part--simply didn't live up to expectations. * Jajangmyeon: It was overly sweet, lacking the savory balance you'd expect. * Jjamppong: The broth lacked depth and was just one-dimensionally spicy, reminiscent of instant ramen soup. * Tangsu-yuk (Sweet & Sour Pork): While the meat seemed fresh, the batter was disappointing. It wasn't crispy, nor was it the chewy "kkwaru" style. It fell somewhere in the middle and felt lackluster. The most disappointing part was the Seafood Jjamppong we ordered to-go. My husband was starving, but even then, he couldn't finish it. It actually tasted worse than the regular jjamppong; at least the regular one had a bit of a smoky "불맛" (wok-hei), but the seafood version was completely bland and just spicy. I later found out this place is under the same ownership as the previous restaurant at this location (Chi-Chi), which I also found underwhelming in the past. Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong, and Tangsuyuk are the fundamental basics of any Korean-Chinese spot. If the basics aren't there, there's not much reason to return. Sadly, I won't be coming back. read more

Came back to give it a second try. Five stars for service. Three stars for food, same as last time. Except for the jjamppong, everything else tasted overly seasoned with sauce. Correct jjajangmyeon should have a smokey flavor infused in the sauce (wok hei), but the one here is lacking that flavor, which made me wonder if they cooked on an electric stove. The spicy shrimp is too expensive to be a $20+ dish. Given that there are places serving these dishes much, much better, I don't think this place is competent. read more

Bobae Noodle House -- Where Comfort Food Meets Nightlife Energy Rating: (5/5) Bobae Noodle House isn't just a Korean restaurant -- it's an experience that evolves as the night unfolds. What began as a celebratory dinner for my friend's birthday turned into one of the most enjoyable evenings I've had at a Korean spot in quite some time. Between the quality of the food and the genuine hospitality, this visit earns a rare and confident 5 out of 5 stars. Ambiance - 5/5 Bobae strikes an impressive balance between cozy restaurant and energetic nightlife venue. Early in the evening, it feels warm and inviting -- ideal for dinner with friends. As the clock moves past 8 or 9 PM, the space transitions into a lively karaoke and nightclub atmosphere, attracting a younger crowd and bringing a contagious energy to the room. It's dynamic without feeling chaotic, making it perfect for birthdays or celebratory nights out. Authenticity - 4.5/5 The menu stays rooted in Korean comfort classics while presenting them in a social, shareable format. It's not trying to be overly modern or fusion-driven -- instead, it focuses on delivering familiar flavors done well. Flavor - 5/5 The fried chicken was a standout -- impeccably crisp on the outside while remaining juicy and succulent within. The seasoning lingered pleasantly, with that addictive balance of crunch and flavor that defines great Korean-style chicken. The noodles were equally impressive -- perfectly al dente, with a firm bite that shows proper technique and timing. Everything we ordered arrived well-executed, flavorful, and satisfying. Service - 5/5 Service truly elevated the evening. The bartender was exceptional -- attentive, warm, and genuinely celebratory. Upon learning it was my friend's birthday, she surprised us with a complimentary round of shots. It wasn't just the gesture itself, but the spirit behind it -- hospitality that felt personal rather than transactional. That kind of care leaves a lasting impression. Cost - 5/5 Given the quality of food, the vibrant atmosphere, and the level of service, pricing felt more than fair. You're paying not just for a meal, but for a full evening experience. Final Thoughts Bobae Noodle House delivers on multiple fronts: delicious food, strong hospitality, and a space that transforms into something vibrant and memorable as the night goes on. Whether you're there for the fried chicken, the noodles, or a birthday celebration that turns into karaoke, this is a spot that understands how to create a complete experience. A rare five-star night -- and one I'll gladly repeat. read more

A casual Korean/Chinese fusion that replaced chichi (rip, you will be missed ) on the east side! I'm always looking for a good jjangmyeon spot so today I gave this place a try and I was not disappointed! The interior was still pretty much the same as before, just that the tables were rearranged and it was a more casual setting compared to the bar vibes that chichi had. We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy but we were still seated right away. You order on the self serve tablet on the table but the servers were very attentive about checking in and asking us if we needed anything. The food took about 15-20 minutes to come out which wasn't bad at all considering it was a weekend. Do be aware that they close for 2 hours for break in the afternoon though so check their opening hours before you go. We ordered the jjangmyeon, creamy jjampong, and tangsuyuk (half size). The jjangmyeon was Chinese style, the noodles were fresh but different from the chewy texture thaf traditional Korean style black bean noodles offer. The creamy jjampong was very flavorful but I was a bit taken aback by the amount of spice it had (I don't have a great spice tolerance), so a couple bites were already enough for me. The jjampong had a lot of toppings like shrimp, cabbage, and onions though which cut through the spice, which was a good balance. The tangsuyuk was crispy on the outside but the actual pork itself was a bit tough and small but overall tasty with the dipping sauce. With tips, my friend and I paid $30 each for these 3 dishes which I'd say isn't too bad for Seattle prices and if you come with more people, that could make it more affordable as well. I'd say the portions were pretty generous as we did have a lot of leftovers. Overall, would come back for a casual lunch/dinner if I'm craving black bean noodles. read more

Limited food tasting in view that there were only two of us. We ordered: Fried dumplings (good); Jjajang myun; Jjampong I couldn't believe how badly overcooked the noodles were and how every piece of vegetables in jjampong was limp. It must have been cooked for a loooong time because there was no life in them. Super disappointing and I wish I can get my money back for such a subpar meal. Two stars because dumplings were crispy and good. Service was friendly and sufficiently attentive. It is so close to home that I wish it worked out. read more

Came here 5:30pm on a Friday. No wait and the restaurant was half full. They are in a shopping center so parking is not hard to find. When we were seated, they told us that it is still a soft open so the menu was limited. All available items were on the iPad menu. We ordered Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), seafood jjamppong (noodle soup), creamy jjamppong, and the Chinese style bibimmyeon (noodles no soup with stir fry veggies and pork). Our 3 noodle entrees were very very spicy. Of the 3, the creamy soup was the least spicy. The fried pork came with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. That was cool so you can adjust how much sauce you want. We ate it all so I would say that it was good. There are large tvs playing K pop. read more

Best Korean-Chinese food we've ever had! Came with a party of 6 (2 toddlers). Staff is very kind and attentive. They even gave 2 tokens to try the claw machine.

I was in the mood for some Jajangmyeon (Black Bean noodles) so I decided to give Bobae Noodle House a try. The interior has a modern style. They even had a full bar and some cool neon signs. The Black Bean Noodle was pretty good. Not the best Ive had, but you could definitely taste the freshness of the noodles. The people I went with also ordered the Jjamppong (Spicy Seafood Noodles). One got the classic and the other got the whole squid version. They were both good, but I feel like the classic was better because the squid wasn't very big. read more

I wanted to have something warm and spicy on a rainy day. Decided to try this place and got the classic combo to try little bit of everything. Jjajang myeon - the sauce is savory, actually a bit salty and we ended up ordering side of rice to eat with. Bobae Jjamppong - The spicy level was perfect. We liked that it didnt have a lot of seafood, mostly pork and vegetables. Tangsuyuk - Right amount of meat to batter ratio. I am very sensitive to gamy meat smell/taste and it didnt have any. We noticed that batter had some kind of seasoning and made it balanced. I side is dark and kind of bar setting which make sense given that they open late during weekends. The service was ok but kinda of slow. read more

Really yummy food all around. I really recommend the jjajangmyeon. Would definitely go again!

This feels like Korean comfort or bar food. Everything was tasty and spicy. The price was quite reasonable. Ordering via the tablet at the table was convenient. Too bad you can't pay as well. The only drawback is that the menu is somewhat limited. read more
