A small and cozy Korean spot located inside a shopping plaza that serves a few staples such as soondubu jjigae, oxtail soup, bibimbap etc. Their menu is on the leaner side but they have enough variety to have a good spread. We ordered the tofu soup and oxtail soup. I honestly didn't enjoy the tofu soup much, it was heavily flavored with msg and it overpowered the gochugaru and lacking traditional flavor. It wasn't for me. On the opposite, the oxtail soup was pretty solid and we would order it again. The other letdown was the banchan, it was unfortunately very bland, especially the kimchi which was very under seasoned. Overall, not a bad spot to have a comforting meal but note the flavors might not be consistent with traditional flavors. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

The best things to get here are the soups. On cold or rainy days, a bowl of ox bone soup or basic beef soup just hit the spot. While the soup ingredients are minimal, the broth tastes like it has been stewing for hours. What I don't understand is why their soup with additional ingredients like mushrooms and rice cost $1 less? We asked the server, but he did not exactly answer the question, likely due to a language limitation. We ordered other items that were just okay. The kimchi noodles are greasy (1 stars off), and actually tasted more Chinese than Korean. The honey chicken wings are good, but the spicy chicken wings are quite plain with a hot sauce coat (1 stars off). I would skip most of their menu and only stick with the comforting soups. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place seems newer in the Burlingame town center. You're close to some gems (shout-out to Little Lucca's and Happy Donut). I ordered a beef tofu soup and they bring tea and banchan. The tea is nice. The banchan had daikon, kimchi and sprouts. It tasted fresh but it needed some salt and maybe more sesame oil in the bean sprout. The beef noodle soup came with some zucchini and shiitake mushroom. It was flavorful and was comforting to taste. Random but I did enjoy the music they had (reggaeton and some hip hop lol).

Found this place randomly on social media and decided to give it a try. Walked in and was greeted immediately and sat down. Quick fast service and the was really good! I got the kim chi soup Level spicy. I make it all the time at home so my expectations are quite high. Flavors knocked it out of the park. Wish they would've made much more spicy lol definitely will ask for extra spicy for myself next time. My brother got the oxtail soup and the broth was literal perfection. Clean, comforting everything you'd want in a broth. 10/10! They offer condiments such as salt and pepper to adjust to your liking which I can appreciate. They're much busier during lunch since they offer a lunch menu which we shared the short ribs. They were really good! Marinade hit all the flavor components. The banchan however was sub par... kim chi was just okay but the soups definitely made up for it. Much smaller restaurant but big enough to still accommodate everyone. I love that you can order boba next door and drink there. Most places have a no outside drinks or food but K noodle allows it! Will definitely be back again when I come home to the Bay Area. read more

This place is such a pleasant surprise! The food is very authentic Korean, even though it comes out of a Chinese kitchen, which makes it feel like a real hidden gem in the neighborhood. The portions are huge, so you definitely get great value for what you pay. The standout for me was the seafood noodle soup--the broth is absolutely incredible, rich with deep seafood flavor and easily one of the best I've had. The stir-fried noodles were also amazing--savory, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The atmosphere can get a little noisy, especially since we were seated with a big group of people, but honestly, the energy just made it feel more lively and casual. Despite the chatter, we were fully enjoying the food the entire time. Overall, this spot is a true neighborhood treasure. It's the kind of place you almost want to keep secret, but it deserves to be discovered. If you're craving hearty portions, authentic flavors, and comforting dishes that really hit the spot, this is the place to go. IA little pricy but ... will come back for sure read more

A-ma-zing! One of the best Korean restaurants and I've been to a ton. Short ribs were tender, flavorful, and super quality. The ribs& seafood noodles had awesome chewy noodles, probably home made.

We were looking for a quick bite of Korean food to eat, and luckily found this place. It's small, quiet, and clean - but a steady trickle of customers while our party of four ate for lunch on a weekday. The man who took our order at the front counter offered us sides with our jiajiamian. Everything was delicious! Even the kids loved the black bean noodles and went back for more. The portion was HUGE so by the time i shared with a kid and I cleaned up the bowl, I was so full. I might have overeaten, but no regrets! read more

Solid korean/Chinese spot for families and group hangouts. I called at 5pm when they opened to reserve a table for 10 of us at 6:30pm on a Sunday and they were happy to. When we arrived, there wasn't a wait and the tables were set up. On to the food, - banchan side dishes (boiled bean sprouts, Kimchi, radish) 2/5. All were bland unfortunately - jajangmyeon (noodles w black bean sauce) 4/5. A little bland and I prefer jajangmyeon w spice) - spicy beef rib and seafood noodle soup (beef rib jamppong) 5/5. Love the addition of the beef rib as well. Meat didn't fall off the bone entirely but still tender! You can also adjust the spice level if you ask! Service was great and attentive! They immediately asked us if we want hot water esp for the elderlies. Although they did give us the wrong receipt for a different table and had to redo the transaction. Parking is easy w the lot. Located next to Tiger Tea! They also have beer, soju and fried chicken and other apps great for casual hangouts. If i'm comparing this to Paik's noodle house, I will have to give the edge to Paik's. But this is a great option to have in the peninsula area! I'll definitely come back and try other things on the menu! read more

I came here for lunch on Sunday with the wifey. My favorite side was the fungus salad aka the wood ear mushroom. The server was friendly and the vibe was nice, they had a football game playing on the television. The noodle with black bean sauce was flavorful. The beef was super tender on the beef rib seafood noodle soup. After the delicious meal, we scanned the QR code to get some drinks from Tiger tea and juice next door. Definitely a nice treat and efficient, Definitely a spot to check out. -ig@blacktigereats read more

Jajangmyeon - 4.5/5. Good black bean flavor with lots of little pieces of pork belly and veggies. A pretty large portion too! Seafood noodle soup - from what I saw it looked pretty loaded with veggies, seafood and noodles. I tasted the soup and it was quite flavorful with a seafood/shrimpy taste. Pretty spicy! The noodle soup with the beef bone tasted similarly to the seafood noodle soup, just without the seafood taste. The tofu soup also seemed decent with a good amount of tofu. read more

The food was good, but the overall experience was just okay. I was kind of disappointed that the only chicken options were the $19.99 chicken wings for 10 pieces. (I would have preferred to have gotten the combo that also included drumsticks.) Anyway, the mild spicy flavor was good. I liked that the sauce coated each chicken wing evenly and there was a subtle amount of spice. My date and I also shared the regular fries ($5.95) that contained a generous portion. Kind of bummed that there was no banchan. Some pickled radish and/or kimchee would have been great. read more

Didn't know what to eat for lunch and this was closest to work. I got their Soy chicken wings (I think it was garlic soy sauce) for lunch and it came with a side of fries or rice and banchan. To my surprise, I'd say it was worth it! Super flavorful, crispy wings (might need to ask if they can fry it a little longer than 10 minutes though because mine was a tad pink). But I went home to air fry the leftovers and it was even more delicious. I'm coming back for the mild wings next time. The person who answered the phone was super patient, nice and they walked out to hand me my order. I might come back and dine in one day as well to try their tofu soup. Inside looked nice and chill. read more

Went for Dinner Food - 4/5. They had a decent selection of banchan with a good amount of sourness and fermented flavor on the kimchi. The beef rib was meaty, tender, and soaked up the flavor of the broth. It came off the bone easily and the broth helped elevate the natural beef flavor. Noodles had a bouncy bite to them, soaked up the soup well and were fun to slurp. Wings were meaty with a savory batter. Deep fried wings were seasoned well, but could've used more crunch since they lack a sauce. The mild spicy wings were delicious with a sauce that captured the sweet and spicy flavors of KFC. The gochujang gave it an umami burst with the subtle sweetness of rice, finished with a spicy kick. Service - 4/5. Fast and friendly service. They were always available and gave additional banchan when we were low. Value - 4/5. The beef rib noodle soup was $24 and the 10 piece wings were $20, which is standard for the area. They allowed us to half and half the wing's flavors for no additional charge. Food was good and the portions were fair. Parking - Mall Lot (Free) read more
