    We stopped by K-Noodle on a Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The space has a clean, modern Korean vibe -- bright lighting, cozy booths, and a welcoming atmosphere. Service was impressively fast without feeling rushed however the food took awhile to come out which was a bit too long. Here's what we tried: Beef Rib Noodle Soup - The standout dish of the meal. It came with two huge, tender ribs, and the meat literally slid off the bone. The broth was clear yet rich, full of flavor, and perfect for a comforting meal. Seaweed Rice with Spam - A simple but hearty side. The portion was big, with a thick slice of Spam on top of seasoned seaweed and fluffy rice. Great for sharing or for someone who wants a filling add-on. Jajangmyeon - Very generous serving size, and the noodles were nicely chewy. The sauce was on the lighter side -- still tasty, but I personally prefer a deeper, bolder black bean flavor. Overall, K-Noodle is a solid choice in Burlingame if you're craving a satisfying Korean noodle meal that is if you can wait. Affordable, fast, and that rib soup alone is worth coming back for! We'll definitely be returning to try more of the menu.

    If you want comfort Korean food on a cold day, come here! My husband and I wanted something hot and soupy and each ordered the oxtail soup (one with noodles and one with rice). The broth was nice and creamy, oxtail bartender, and portions were very generous. This totally hit the spot! We'll have to come back to try the tofu soup and other dishes, but it seems like the oxtail and rib soups are the main attraction of this place. You can also order Tiger Tea here! If you're at Mills Peninsula frequently, come across the street for some yummy Korean food.

    Great spot, amazing food, wonderful service. We came on a Monday for lunch, and K-Noodle was almost entirely full. We ordered their ox bone soup and spicy pork lunch special. Both were delicious and generous in portion size and came with giant bowls of fresh rice. They also had kimchi, radish, and mung bean banchan. Interior is clean, spacious, and comfy. Service was great - we were offered multiple banchan refills, more napkins, and extra bowls for sharing all proactively without needing to ask or flag someone down. Their lunch special menu is a great deal. Will come back to try more items!

    10/6/24 I met up with my friend here for dinner. K-Noodle is situated in a large plaza so there's plenty of parking. It used to be Spicy Factory, where korean chicken wings were the specialty. Here's what we got: - cold seasoned stems (appetizer to share) - black bean noodles (his) - beef rib noodle soup (mine) We also got 3 small plates of bonchon which wasn't that great. The cold seasoned stems was basically black seaweed which tasted kinda basic. My beef rib noodle soup was also basic and bland. This is the kind of soup you should get when you're sick. Service was fine, overall okay. Not sure if I would come back.

    check please..

    located at burlingame plaza at the end near trousdale...korean boonshik restaurant offering a little of everything...from black sauce noodles to spicy seafood soup noodles...korean soups, bibimbap and hot plate korean meats...kfc available...a lunch visit and couple lunch menu items available...6 chicken wing lunch set was $16.95...choice of flavors...bbq pork lunch $18.95....comes on a sizzling hot plate with rice, but flavors were off...bit bland and wasn't good...beef bibimbap $17.95 was very simple and average...service is a bit slow and food wasn't great...

    Lunchtime for 2 on a Sunday at around 12:30pm, super chill around this time. Seated immediately and not too crowded. This place is amazing value! Fast service and the food is delicious. I got the #9 Premium Ox Bone Broth, perfectly seasoned I didn't have to adjust it at all. Nice big pot of barely tea available on request. We had a really good time. Would def recommend a visit!

    Stir Fried Noodle with Black bean sauce
    Ryan F.

    Food was good - we had the fried noodles with black bean sauce and the fried chicken (all flats, 1/2 honey, 1/2 mild spicy). The noodles came hot, tasty and were plenty for two people. The wings were hot and crispy - the flavor was not as intense as the Oakland Korean spots I'm used to, but still good. The server was attentive - he was the only one working the front of the house, taking meals, serving orders, bringing bills and bussing tables. Despite that, he made sure our cups were full and gave us updates when our food was coming. He even made sure our banchan was refilled! Inside it was clean - there were two TVs that had the Valkyries game on. Menus were clean and had plenty of pictures. If I'm in the area and have a craving for Korean, I wouldn't mind coming back to K-Noodle.

    Found this when I look for Korean restaurant that serve noodle soup. This restaurant is next to hospital which I think in a good location. Next to it is boba shop which I saw some customer went to the the boba shop after their meals. The interior is very simple, with couple tables and the dishes photo all over the wall which looks inviting. The menu is pretty complete with many varieties of Korean dishes. We order Spicy Seafood noodle soup and Stir fried noodles with black bean sauce. They give 3 type of banchan, daikon, beansprout and kimchi. The kimchi is sweet and later I saw it is from a big jar that you can get from grocery store. I wish they make it fresh in the restaurant. At least if have it from jar, don't show the jar. The noddle soup is yummy but not spicy. the Stir fried noodle is served with hot iron plate. the presentation is good but I just feel it is too sweet. The server is very nice and very energetic. Only one server serves all the tables. Overall it was ok meals. May be next time we will try other dishes and wish they make the kimchi in house.

    Sooo yummy!! The restaurant is not so big, but clean and nice! The food came out in a decent amount of time, and it was all very yum! Sometimes the texture of rice cakes get tiring after a while but mAn I wish there was more - it was sO chewy! Parking outside was easy, and there's a boba place right next door too!

    Must-Try Korean spot in the Bay Area! @knoodleandtofu offers a unique blend of Yanbian cuisine and Korean dishes. Each dish is so authentic and made with care, it's the perfect spot to enjoy with friends and family because the service really makes you feel welcomed. The space is very homey and in a plaza with a lot of parking. *What We Ordered* Bibimbap Beef Spicy Fried Rice Cake with Cheese Beef Tofu Soup Noodles with Black Bean Sauce Kimchi Fried Rice French Fries

    (#29) Korean Army Stew (Budae Jjigae)
    Mike L.

    This might sound rather odd, but despite how we fully intended to come here, we actually didn't intend to come here either. After unexpectedly discovering there was a Korean restaurant in this complex a little over a year ago, I made a mental note to come back to check it out. Now, it's my fault for taking so long, but I didn't realize until we looked at the menu that the one I first saw (Spicy Factory) had been replaced by the one we were sitting in (K-Noodle). Not that big of a deal, as I'm always down to try any and every Korean restaurant, but it also didn't hurt that the menu still included the Budae Jjigae and Korean fried chicken wings we had originally come here to get! Since the reviews on here from over a year ago are actually for Spicy Factory (their Yelp page was renamed to K-Noodle), the overall rating may or may not be accurate, but it's possible the food/owners are the same despite the change in concept. Comparing the two, Spicy Factory's menu was more like a Korean pub with its multitude of sides/snacks, but K-Noodle still offers several similar dishes, including the aforementioned Budae Jjigae, Fried Chicken Wings, Fried Seaweed Rolls, Ddukbokki, and Korean BBQ lunch specials. However, being more noodle centric, the majority of what they have is made up of a variety of noodle soups, stir fried noodles, soups/stews, and rice dishes. -- BANCHAN - Kimchi, Radish Kimchi, Beansprouts While the beansprouts were great, the other two were not. I don't know if they make their own or source it externally, but both the kimchi and the radish were pale and super bland. -- (#19) FRIED CHICKEN WINGS...$19.95 I was really excited for this, but it was just okay. The wings themselves were big and moist while the sauce/glaze was flavorful and not overly sweet. However, the batter was weird - it was decently thick, but it almost felt like it was baked in an oven rather than fried (not super hot nor crispy). -- (#29) KOREAN ARMY STEW...$45.95 Sadly, this was kind of underwhelming. Although there was a fair amount of goodies (especially the spam, sausage, and veggies), the broth felt watery and lacked seasoning (gochujang, salt, better kimchi, etc.). That said, I really liked the bowl of fresh noodles they give you to add in (really nice bite to them). -- (#18) FRIED SEAWEED ROLLS...$10.95 Ehh...not bad, but nothing special either. Each piece was decently plump and were actually pretty crispy, unlike with the wings. That being said, the taste of these didn't seem all that much better than the frozen ones you can find at Korean markets. -- (#11) PREMIUM OX BONE SOUP WITH RICE (Seolleongtang)...$19.95 I meant to get this with noodles instead of the rice, but no matter - this was still solid. Even though the brisket was cut into chunks instead of slices, the beef was tender and the soup had a really nice, peppery flavor to it. While the food felt rather uneven overall, service here wasn't too shabby. In particular, the male worker (owner?) that helped us the first time I was here was really friendly and checked on us often. What's more, both of our orders didn't take long to come out. Which, to be honestly, only makes it that much more disappointing that the food was so mixed. Given their name and how good the noodles were, it's entirely possible that I goofed and failed to get the best things that K-Noodle has to offer. If that's the case, I'll be sure to write an update after the next time I come here, but it's hard to give more than three stars for now.

    It's hard to find a restaurant that serves Hainan Chicken in the peninsula and I'm glad we found…read morethis place. My gauge is comparing it to Rooster and Rice (or What The Cluck) which is no longer available in the area. We did take out and ordered online. I wasn't sure what to expect. 1) Pork knuckle soup - the hubby raved about it and enjoyed it, saying it was very tasty. 2) cucumber salad - the grand kids love their cucumber salad - thank goodness we ordered a side of it since they finished what was in the hainan chicken special plate 3) Hainan chicken over rice was smooth and tasty. It came with cucumber and wood ear mushroom at least 8 pieces of chicken, fungus salad, some peanuts, one small egg roll, green onion paste and tasty rice cooked in some chicken stock/fat. It also included a small bowl of soup. It was all great in our opinion. When you order online - you get a text message that your order is confirmed. Then you'll get a 2nd text message that it's being prepared and a final text that it's ready for pick up. I scheduled a 5:30 pick up and it was readty at 5:15. When I went to, pick up the order, I can see there were many other orders ready for pick up. The restaurant is small and at a glance looked like maybe 10+.tables. If you join the rewards program, you can earn reward points toward food. So if you plan to eat or order online more than once, might as well join their reward program. I joined - why not? -and I immediately saw that I earned points from our dinner. I would actually give it a 4.5.

    First time trying Hainan Chicken here on a Friday night…read more Wait list moves pretty fast depending on the crowd, because the service is quite fast with food coming out within 5 minutes of our order being placed. Dishes we tried: 1 The Hainan Chicken Rice Plate - surprised? It is served slightly chilled and has the signature gelatinous skin. Something was lacking in the flavor, even combined with the ginger scallion oil included. It wasn't bad but not stellar. 3/5 2 Braised Beef Brisket and Tendon Over Rice - nice balanced flavor; briskets were soft and tendons had the perfect texture. 4/5 3 Spicy Pork Ear - heavy on the peppercorns, otherwise it would have been great. 3/5 They close early at 8pm so need to plan for an early/regular dinner. A number of people stopped by after 8pm expecting to be seated thinking 9pm is closing. Street parking is usually reasonable to find with nonmetered street parking or a couple blocks into residential neighborhood. Will come back one more time to try different dishes if we're in the neighborhood.

    Super dope!!!!!! My ultimate favorite aburasoba of all time! Brought my mom here to try Wagyu roast…read morebeef aburasoba and she approved this place! Some personal thoughts: If you want something light, or try to order for the elders, wagyu aburasoba is a better choice, since the meat is more lean and yogurt sauce help balance the richness. Homura aburasoba is also great, but minced pork is a bit fatty, and traditional sauce is also rich, so I normally find it hard to finish a bowl because I'm too full. Nevertheless, I don't say it's not great, do not order. What I meant is that if you have a preference for light food (like me), hate something too oily/ greasy or afraid of fat, wagyu aburasoba is always a better choice!

    Second visit: I returned to Kajiken for lunch today. A…read moreWednesday - No line! I walked in and got to sit at a street side tall seat. My order was Soboro Aburasoba noodles with green onions and ground chicken. I substituted the raw for a poached egg. First off, these noodles have no soup. You mix up the egg with the melange of ingredients resulting in a pasta sauce of sorts. My dish was sweet since the ground chicken seems to have been cooked in a teriyaki-type sauce. After a few bites, I added in some sesame seeds and garlic seasoning. After a little more time, I added in some vinegar - this helped balance the flavor more. For me, this dish was disappointing. The noodles were okay. But after half a bowl, the dish was really boring. It's like eating a big bowl of pasta Bolognese. A few bites if the same flavor and I wanted to have something else. The service was so-so. I was not offered the free tea (unlike my neighbors who were both males). I had to ask for it. At the end, I had to flag a server for my bill. The food here at Kajiken is not inexpensive. The line must be due to the dishes being different from traditional ramen with soup. But for me, I will likely stay on the savory ramen-with-soup-fan side rather be a sweet-dry-noodle fan side.

There was only one spice level and while it was mild for me, could be a little spicy for others but nothing to worry about. The dry spice from the popcorn chicken definitely hits if you inhale it so be careful and it did make me break out into a mild sweat but it was ok.
