This no-fuss, quick service restaurant serves up some of the most delicious whit jjampong. Served piping hot, fill with lots of seafood and noodles. You get mussels, squid, shrimp and veggies, the noodles are bouncy and chewy. Not pictured was the jajangmyeon, also very delicious! You can get it regular, or spicy with fresh jalapeño. The tangsuyuk sauce is nice and tangy, and serves as a nice accompaniment to your noodle dishes. We have gone back several times. The food and service have been consistent. Quick turnaround and the meal hits the spot every time! read more

Food was very flavourful but pretty standard for these dishes. I would say the standout is an oddly high amount of onion usage. However, not so overpowering so it was still very good. Restaurant is pretty busy and noisy so it's really got that hustle and bustle feel. For their spice level we ordered the less spicy option but it came very spicy. Not sure if it was just a mistake but they took the order back and brought another one. It seemed odd that it was likely the same bowl with more stock to dilute in. This is also likely why it came back in a much larger bowl. Would preferred a new one so we could gauge the spice level but otherwise the flavour is there. The servers are fast and polite despite how the dish was rectified. Overall decent but I'm guessing on the spicier side of food for those who are not used to Korean levels of spice. read more

food was amazing!!! You order on an Ipad and can have all sauces on the side. My must get favourite dishes were the jjajangmyeon black bean noodles (usually I don't like but these made me give them a second chance) & must get the kim's chicken pepper yuringi (waaay better than the sweet n sour pork) these two dishes blew me a way and the flavours were so unique. The soybean noodles were amazing in texture perfectly chewy and cold but the overall flavour was not for me (tasted like soy milk but that's what they are soybean noodles) , the sweet and sour pork tasted like plum sauce and fried pork but are the most popular on their menu? I would skip this. Service was amazing I will definitely be back. read more

Haven't been back since they changed their name and branding but the food is still great! The seafood noodles portion got even bigger in my opinion! I also got another seafood noodles and a black bean one to go. Surprisingly the portion for seafood noodles takeout was huge but the black bean one felt a lot smaller in comparison. Staff was friendly and tables were spacious. Will be back!! read more

Between two people, we got: - jajangmyeon - sweet & spicy pork - spicy jjamppong Restaurant had ample seating and was super clean. Neat that you could order from a tablet right at the table and they just bring the food over. We found both noodles dishes as better than average and thought the sweet and sour pork was okay (we normally don't order this but still wanted to give it a shot). Portions are fair for the price. We were really full at the end of it and had to bring the rest home. A little out of the way for us but I would try their other items if in the area next time. read more

The ultimate comfort food. From their generous size portion of the fried chicken to their deep fried milk bread, everything here was delicious! The fried chicken comes with a vinegary dipping sauce that adds a kick and freshness to each bite as it soaks into the hot white rice. The black bean noodle is so flavorful. Each noodle is coated with the thick gravy and has the perfect chew. Milk buns are warm and dense and so delicious when dipped in the condensed milk. Highly recommend!! read more

Kim's Noodle - Korean Near Me - North York, Ontario

Has now been rebranded as "KIM'S NOODLE Steeles" due to the drama going on with Mr. Paik back in Korea. They redid the sign too, but kept the red decor. It's difficult to complain about the food at this low price point, even compared to other Korean-Chinese restaurants in the neighbourhood. Service is efficient (you order through a table at the table), food is served fairly quickly, and the portions are generous. I always get the jajang noodle, and share either a Tangsuyuk or Gochu Yuringi. Their jjampong focuses on mussels instead of the usual seafood medley, so ask beforehand if you have a preference. Their fried foods are nicely crispy, and the oil seems clean. Food it a bit on the saltier and sweeter side, but that is the usual expectation with Korean-Chinese food. Quick, slightly cheaper food, with a good kick of MSG. read more

I've watched Culinary Class Wars, so I was curious to try the restaurant by one of the judges. This spot is known for their Korean-Chinese dishes. Though this area does have a few restaurants that specialize in this type of cuisine too. We had a group of six, so we ordered the jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles), jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup), a couple of protein options like the tangsuyuk (fried sweet and sour pork), cream and chili shrimp, and kkanpunggi (deep-fried chicken in spicy sour sauce). All were done well and very flavourful fast casual food. My personal fav would be the black bean noodles. I like that they have built-in tablets at each table so you can order more food or service at any point. Though I think they didn't get our extra order on the tablet. It was slightly delayed in getting us one extra dish and extra noodles, so we checked on it, and they were so apologetic that they gave us a round of dumplings and Milkis cream soda for everyone at our table. That was very generous of them, and they didn't need to do it. It also looked like the fried chicken had rice cakes added to it, not sure if it normally comes with that. Service is just notch, so while this is not the type of Chinese food I normally crave, them going above and beyond makes this a 5-star experience. read more

I have been watching Culinary Class Wars season 2, and I was so excited to check out this restaurant which related to the judge - Baek Jong-won. The restaurant is big but the music was a bit too loud. Most of the tables have a tablet to order, however, the one we seated didn't have one, which unfortunately the waiter missed our order, and we waited for over 40mins to get our food. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed, but the waiter gave us 4 fried dumplings for free as an apology. Appreciate that! For the food, we ordered black bean noodles (JAJANG) and Tang-suyuk. The noodle texture is chewy and soft, I love it, but the entire dish is not hot enough, just warm. For Tang-suyuk, crispy outside and I love the sweet sour sauce. read more

Stumble upon this restaurant when I watched the Culinary Class Wars (aka Back & White chef) from Netflix. One of the judges is the owner of this franchise so this place is a must try if you love Korean noodle dishes. The fried jampong was flavorful and the noodle texture is perfectly al dense. It has seafood such as shrimp, squid and veggies. This noodle dish is generally not spicy if you order the regular. The fried chicken was really cripsy and tender. The sauce on the side adds a good sour tangy flavour to the chicken making it more refreshing every bite. This is definitely a gem and service is amazing. All the workers are very friendly and welcoming with a great smile. read more

I was driving and remembered Paik's Noodles was nearby, so decided to grab some jajangmyeon for lunch. We also got the small sweet and sour pork since it was our first time. There were lots of people on Canada Day, so it took more than half an hour for takeout. I would suggest calling ahead of time instead of waiting. The restaurant was also very loud but service was decent. The sweet and sour pork smelled so good in the car and I thought I ordered popeyes lol. The portions were decent and the jajangmyeon was definitely tastier than the packaged ones. The pork, on the other hand, was a little disappointing. I don't think the chef realized how much batter was used for each piece because pretty much all of them were disproportionately fried or I would have expected them to cut the meat a bit bigger? The pork was also tasteless and the sauce was just super sweet. I saw a sign saying no splitting bills from Fri-Sunday. read more

Comforting chicken and noodles, on the lighter side Atmosphere: The restaurant is on the smaller side, with several tables of four that are compact. Each table has a tablet for ordering everything from food to drink to even getting the bill, and the utensils and napkins are found in drawers underneath the table top. Food: Portions were very good for the price paid, with the fried chicken and pork entrees filling a fairly large plate and fried perfectly. In terms of flavour, we found the chicken not really seasoned, and relying more on the sauce to give it flavour. The noodles were nicely portioned as well, with large bowls of noodles cooked with some chew, but the ingredients were a bit lacking as it was mainly onion on the jajang noodles (not a lot of meat) and mainly veggies on the jjamppong, so you get what you pay for. It would have been nice to have more pork and seafood, respectively. The flavour of the noodles were also on the lighter side compared to other Korean restaurants we've been to. Service: The servers were out of the way and you would have to request everything from food, to a water refill and the check through the tablet. It was convenient for ordering food as you could see everything you order, but it was a bit inconvenient to go through the tablet for everything else. Good hearty meal where noodles are the focus, will definitely fill you up. read more

I think it's fair to say everyone had taste biases. We ordered the tang-suyuk (sweet and sour fried pork) and jajang (black bean sauce noodles). If you like things with a sweet note... the jajang is for you... I like it and the noodles were just right with a little bit of chew... when noodle are over cooked they are just too soft and not cooked enough and they are too hard and starchy. The sauce was good... not super strong like some black bean sauces... might have liked some veggies or potatoes dices. That's just how I've had it in the past. Not sure what is more authentic. The tang-suyuk smells really good... I was really looking forward to them but this is where I'm have a bias... I line some batter but there is s point when it didn't add and crispy ness and this was just there... chewy by didn't have flavor even when dipped in the sauce. This might be authentic... but just I'm not used to it. It wasn't terrible just not what I thought I was going to get. The value is pretty good. I think I'm the problem. read more

Order with the tablet and grab utensils under the table. Got the small black bean noodles and small sweet n sour pork, and fried chicken. (one size). This was more than enough food for two and we had leftovers. The fried chicken was the highlight, crispy, tender and the sauce had a perfect amount of tang and sweetness. It sauce wasn't spicy as well, which I prefer. I'd skip the sweet and sour pork because it's not that tender and the sauce is flat with just sourness. It's different and not balanced like the Chinese style. The mixed shrimp was tasty but the white sauce was my favourite. They also had the soy bean cold noodle, something I've never had before. Refreshing on a cold summer day, but not too strong in soy flavour. read more

What a lovely noodle place! Everything we tried today was delicious. They have spicy and non-spicy versions of noodles or rice, many main dishes and they separate the sauces from the fried items (to keep it nice and crispy). Service was excellent, friendly staff and was quick to answer all the requests we sent via the table top tablets. That's how you place your orders through their table (don't forget to confirm your order to send). A tip for those who don't go to Korean restaurants often, you can find the chopsticks, spoons, napkins on the table side drawers. And bonus points, there's parking in the plaza. read more

Will try the fried pork next time! read more

I came across this place after seeing their high reviews. I wasn't sure what to expect though after I saw that they were offering a promotion for leaving a review on Google, but it actually lived up to the hype! The service was great, everyone was super polite and attentive throughout the meal. I really liked the tablet ordering system as it made things easy and efficient. The sweet and sour pork dish had a nice, crispy texture though the sauce wasn't quite my thing (just a personal preference). The noodles were excellent, with a flavorful broth, yummy noodles and generous amount of toppings (soooo much mussels!). Portions were satisfying and I felt like it was worth the price. A nice surprise was the complimentary appetizer which was a pickled dish with black bean sauce. It was a great palate cleanser and they even offered us a refill after we finished ours off within a couple of minutes. They also serve a dessert of peaches at the end, which was a nice touch to wrap up the meal. As a note- they don't offer split bills on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All in all, a solid experience and I'd definitely be back to try their other noodles! read more

Loved this spot for a quick and tasty meal! You order right from a tablet at the table, which makes the whole process super easy and efficient. Food came out fast--perfect if you're in a hurry but still want something satisfying. I had the jajangmyeon and jjamppong--both full of flavor and really hit the comfort food craving. The tangsuyuk was crispy and not too greasy, with a great sweet & sour sauce on the side. Also appreciated the small touches: utensils, napkins, and even to-go containers are all in the drawer under the table--super convenient. Great spot for a casual meal that doesn't disappoint. 4.5/5 read more

Have enjoyed both the jjajangmyeon and jamppong from this place. The oriental chicken is also decent but I've had better ones somewhere else.

Came back to my regular spot as I was in the area. Fortunately, today was not super busy in the restaurant. We got seated right away and food came out really quick. Got our regular black bean noodles and felt like trying their seafood noodle soup again. I definitely much prefer the black bean noodles. So probably in the future will stick to that instead of the seafood noodles. Location was not too loud and they played some kpop. Good tip for people visiting they started giving out stamp cards, but you do have to ask for it. I unfortunately, do not recommend their shrimp. Compared to the sweet and sour pork for the price I would just get much more pork. We always get this sauce on the side for the pork as the portion is quite large and it makes bringing it home easier as the meat won't get super soggy. I say order either the regular black bean noodles or the spicy black bean noodles add one side of either sweet and sour pork or the chili chicken and have a great meal for pretty cheap! read more

We visited the Monday afternoon before Canada Day. It was pretty packed despite it being a work day, but we were lucky enough to get seating right away. We ordered one of the jjampong and the half and half shrimp to share. I found the jjampong pretty comforting and liked how big and crispy the shrimp pieces were. I found the sauce flavouring for the shrimp to be too strong, but that's more of a personal preference. Prices were fair relative to the portion sizes as well. read more

I can't believe it took me so long to visit this restaurant! Paik's Noodle serves up a curated menu of classic Chinese-Korean dishes at an incredible price for the portion sizes. Smaller menu selection but definitely worth the visit. Our top pick was the jjampong--noodles in a rich, slightly spicy seafood broth. Heals heaps of seafood in each bite and noodles to slurp up. The depth of flavour was amazing - just make sure to eat this quickly or else those noodles will swell. In 2nd place comes the tangsuyuk--crispy battered fried pork with a sweet & sour sauce. You can opt for sauce on the side to dip or poured over (in retrospect, I would've gone with dipping bc it keeps the pork super crispy!). If you're used to Chinese sweet & sour pork, this is very similar except the sauce doesn't contain ketchup. Lastly, the jjajangmyeon--chewy noodles covered in a black bean sauce. For the non-seafood fans who want something savoury & non-spicy to slurp down. We found that adding some red pepper powder and eating it with the pickled radish helped add more depth to the flavour profile. read more

I thought this place was extremely delicious and extremely affordable. You must get the fried chicken and the fried pork dish. It is really to die for. I had the jiang jiang mien which was just OK. It was really hard to eat the slippery saucy noodles with metal chopsticks, but I would 1000% come back again and again for that fried chicken. It's kind of cool inside because you don't really need to interact with any of the servers as there are iPad, ordering stations at each table, so you just pick what you want and submit your order and it goes straight to the kitchen and then someone comes and delivers your food. The restaurant itself is quite big and I've heard on week ends. They have long lineups to get a seat inside because they get that busy. read more

Judge Paik's restaurant has actually been opened for 2 years in Toronto, and it is now blowing up since that CRAZY intense Culinary Class Wars Korean cooking show aired on Netflix! Prices were super afforable here! We came here on a Thursday night, about an hour before closing, and only had a few tables available. The place was busy, and the staff were friendly and courteous! There is a Korean button on the iPad for service but I think they turned it off near end of night, so we end up having to flag them down lol. My friend and I shared the following: Jjamppong 海鮮辣湯面 (we ordered less spicy), Jajangmyeon 炸醬面 (huge portions; my favourite!), Sweet & Sour Pork 糖醋里脊 (crispy; meat was a bit tough; we asked for sauce on the side but not a fan of the sauce, sorry!), and the Deep Fried Buns 炸饅頭 (definity a must-order!) read more

Was pretty excited to try this restaurant out since it became so popular. Got a table reasonably quick and sat down to look at the menu. Menu had a nice variety of classic Korean dishes so we ordered the typical dishes: black bean noodles, tangsuyuk, yuringi, a noodle dish and a fried rice dish. The best by far was the yuringi and the black bean noodle, otherwise the rest were very average. The portion for each dish was quite large and the food came out quickly. The servers were very friendly and nice! All in all, would come back again but will try other things on the menu next time! read more

We went at 5pm on a Sunday for an early dinner. Surprisingly not busy and we got a table right away. We had high expectations based on the hype around this place. We expected to be blown away by the food but the food was just normal. It was good. We love how chewy the jjajangmyeon was. The tangsuyuk was chewy which was nice but wished the batter wasn't so thick. The yuringi was everyone's fav and it was gone very quick. Fried rice was mediocre, nothing special. Overall a good dining experience when craving for Korean-chinese food. We got seated in the booth area which was perfect to contain my toddler from running around.

After watching Culinary Class Wars, I had to get my fill of Korean food. This is my first time at this location.

I cannot speak highly enough of this place! I started coming here about a year and a half ago, and have been back every couple months ever since. The prices are unmatched, and the portion sizes are really great. My go-to order for sharing is Jjampong, the Jajang Dupbap and the small Tangsuyuk. This ensures that you get to try a little bit of everything! However, I have branched out and tried other dishes, and they are all consistent and delicious. I would say the MUST TRY dish is Jjampong, as the soup is packed with a smoky seafood flavour. Their noodles in general have such a delicate, chewy texture that is addicting to eat! They often have new additions or limited time menu items as well which keeps the place fresh. I also like that they have drawers in their tables to get napkins, cutlery, etc. The service here is fast, but don't expect anything too welcoming. The staff work hard and fast to provide a good restaurant experience! Lastly, the restaurant is big, and although it is busy, the turnaround time is fast! Please try this if you haven't already because of Culinary Class Wars! ;) read more

Like many others, we decided to check out Paik's Noodle after watching Culinary Class Wars. The restaurant was bustling on Saturday evening - we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table for 4. There were iPads at every table for ordering, reminiscent of Korea. We ordered the jjamppong, jangban jajang, tangsuyuk, and gochu yuringi. The seafood soup was my favourite, followed by the fried chicken. The black bean noodles were a bit too sweet. Portions were quite large for the price, so you can probably get away with ordering the smallest size of each dish. They also had a promotion where you could get a free item by posting a Google review. We were able to get some fried buns to finish off our meal. I didn't have super high expectations from Paik's restaurant, but I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here! read more
