Been to the one in Dallas Hmart and it was subpar. But heard form couple of friends that this one became better and they were raving about the jambong so I had to try because I love jambong! Pros-jambong was tasty 1x going -lots of seafood and ingredients in jambong -yes it is better than before -tasty -efficient order system then wait to be called and pick up food -free small cups of water etc by the wall for all patrons -pretty nice Hmart comparative to others Cons-very heavy on the msg -2nd time going it was way too salty -wish noodles had more chew -not stellar -jajiangmyun is just ok -priced ok could give more in jajiangmyun -pretty pack and sometimes hard to find seats and gets a tad warm when it's very crowded -Dallas Zion market still holds best food court jambong and stalls for taste read more

I will never not be disappointed by Austin's Korean restaurant selection. Ignoring taste for a second, the portion size vs. the price is disproportionate. The Sweet and Sour Pork (탕수육) is $17.95. This feels like price gouging. The same franchise in Carrollton charges the same price for what feels like 4x the amount. It supposed to be a shareable plate. Also, (this is nitpicking) they just poured the sauce. It usually comes in the side. The Jjangmyeon (짱장면) was pretty tasteless like it needed more black bean paste and it was a smaller portion than before. The Jjampong soup (짬뽕국물) was rich though. It was probably the most value. read more

It never fails! Our kids love eating here! Located inside the HMART food court. It's bustling and loud inside but it's the place to be to enjoy various food from different stores. We ordered. Jjajangmyun and fried dumplings. They were delicious. Our kids ate it all. No leftovers. The service was quick and pleasant. Totally recommend read more

Paik’s Noodle - Shrimp fried rice with no shrimp - Noodles Near Me - Austin, Texas

After watching the Netflix food series of the Korean Sweet and sour pork I wanted to try some to get my take on the comparison of Chinese sweet and sour pork. The combo was $18.95 which in my opinion is pretty high for this dish. It does come in a large size plate but it does not come with rice. First thought is the sweet and sour is very very mild. The sauce is very thick and more corn starch slurry consistency. The fried pork was crispy but as time pass became soggy due to the sauce was pour all over it. You can barely see the pork in the batter or taste it. The pork is very thin thin pieces. I like the ear wood mushrooms but over all I was not a fan of this dish. I prefer 99 ranch hot food shop's sweet and sour pork ribs. It's light fried touch and you can taste the meat. The sauce is more bolder for sweet and sour pork and you get chunks of pineapples which I love. It's all a personal preference. Do I recommend Paik'S Noodle? I tried their black bean noodles and now their sweet sour pork, both mediocre. I definitely think there are better Korean authentic restaurants out there that make these dishes way better. read more

A lovely place to get Jajangmyeon. Got the dish with chili which had a great flavor-definitely spicy so if you're not into spice maybe get the regular. The portions are pretty good and the noodles are perfectly chewy. This is located inside of H Mart so there's a bunch of food court style tables. Food came relatively fast! read more

Good bang for your buck place for noodle dishes. I got their all-in-one seafood & pork stir-fry noodle dish. Very generous serving size. Came out in about 4 mins. $15 price tag. This place will fill you up easily without breaking the bank! read more

I've always known paik's noodle was good because I have so many friends that always order the jjajangmyun from there. But I finally tried them today and got their jjampong. I was surprised by how many different variations they had, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that they all included seafood too. So we got the beef jjampong, which came out with lots of both beef and seafood. The noodles were the perfect texture! They had a slight chew and a slight bounce, and absorbed the broth so well. It came with lots of toppings. And the broth was so homey and hit the spot. And the serving was huge which was nice! read more

Tried their Chinese-Korean fusion food and honestly, it was pretty underwhelming. The fried rice was dry and definitely needed more flavor and spice. I was surprised they didn't even have hot sauce available, which was disappointing. The vegetable noodles were okay in taste but, again, fell flat without the kick of seasoning. Overall, nothing terrible, but nothing that would make me want to go back. read more

I've been to multiple Paik's Noodle locations before and this one is pretty consistent with the others! It's located within the Hmart food court, which is a pretty bustling spot especially around dinnertime. I always go for the jjamppong and it never disappoints. Service is really fast and efficient, you pay at the counter and pick up your food once it's ready. It's a big food court so there's plenty of seating options. Jjamppong ($13.95, 5/5) - Classic spicy seafood noodle soup. Broth is warm and full of flavor. - Tons of toppings in the broth, noodles are nice and chewy. My friend got the jjamppong as well, and also the tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). We both agreed that the tangsuyuk's flavor/texture was off since it mostly just tasted like the fried breading/exterior with very little actual meat, so wouldn't recommend getting that at this location at least. Otherwise Paik's Noodle is a great, affordable spot if you're looking for some good jjamppong! Would highly recommend. read more

I was craving jajangmyeon and was excited to find a stall in H-mart that specialized in the dish. I ordered it to go, and it held up well after a long car ride. The portion size was generous, the noodles were the right texture, and the pieces of meat in the sauce were tasty. Overall, I thought it was a solid bowl of jajangmyeon, but the sauce could have been a bit more flavorful. I've definitely had better jajangmyeons before, but this place definitely satisfied my craving. read more

I'm glad my friend told me to get the extra meat version of my dish, which came out with a normal amount of protein. It would be very little if I had ordered the standard version. Overall heavy on the noodles, light on the protein same thing happened with seafood version I ordered a previous time. Large portions which you could easily split with two people. I had left overs. It was good nothing mind blowing, a little too saucy imo. Cashier was not really attentive when trying to order and pay. This is located in the general dining hall at H-mart. They have live music on the weekends and after you eat you can explore all the fun Asian treats at the grocery store attached next door. Huge parking lot but don't be surprised if you have to park on the last row it's almost always busy. read more

My wife goes insane over the vegetables and noodles here. She has me get seasoned tofu from the HMart grocery store itself and mixes it all together. This for her is a standard combo ... And I have to admit she has a point. I have had the carnivorous noodles. I don't go insane over the meat-eater's noodles But I am happy enough when I eat here. My wife would tell you I was already insane anyway. * * * Paik's noodles are reliable fare Regardless of what ingredients are in or out of them. And if you get utterly irresponsible ideas about what can be mixed with them ... There is a giant grocery store right next to you Where virtually anything can be obtained. read more

The quality has decreased substantially. The jja Jang myun is really watery and the other dishes are equally underwhelming and overpriced.

Tangsuyuk is normally a wonderful sweet and sour fried pork dish if executed well. Let me describe Paik's version of this. You have bits of pork starched up and fried. At this food court location, they are unseasoned, bland, and uninteresting. To serve, they first pour sweet and sour sauce onto the bottom of a dining vessel, then stack the fried pork on top. Interestingly, their sweet and sour sauce is also bland; it's neither sweet nor sour in any considerable way. When you receive this dish, you might wonder why there is no sweet and sour sauce coating the fried pork. The answer is because they have hidden the sauce at the bottom, and even if you were to sauce up the fried pork yourself, you'd question why you opted to order this travesty of a dish anyways, since this sauce does not complete the dish. In conclusion: 1. The fried pork is bland, unseasoned. 2. The pork is not coated in sauce hiding at the bottom. 3. The sauce itself is bland and neither sweet nor sour in any respectable way. 4. Bonus: I'd imagine they use a rice cooker. But I suppose they don't know how to operate one, or they don't use the correct ratio of rice to water. It's like al denté rice, but with the wrong texture. read more

The service was super quick and the food was great. We got to walk around and look at H-Mart while waiting. The Jajangmyon was REALLY good!! It was warm, saucy, and the noodles were soft!! I would definitely order it again :)) I was a little disappointed that the Jeangban Jajang wasn't spicy, but it was still really good and had a good seafood mix, but it had only 3 shrimps lol. Since this was in a food court, there were loads of clean tables and other food restaurants, it was easy to find a place to sit. read more

We loved the Paik's in Mountain View, CA and were so excited that a location was opening by us! Unfortunately this wasnt quite as great as we remembered. Its good, but nothing incredible. Id recommend if you are at H Mart and are craving noodles, but wouldnt make a special trip. The issue with these noodles vs the ones we tried before is they were way over-sauced. It also felt like there was a 1:1 noodle to onion ratio. The noodles themselves however are still top notch. I hope they adjust the recipe in the future! read more

I originally tried Paik's noodle in California and was excited to see a chain come to Austin! My experience was a bit different. I think since the service is not a restaurant but a food court it limits the amount of pickled daikon. We ordered the Jaengban-jjajang and it had good flavor and soft chewy noodles. But the dish had so much onion and not so much seafood. Maybe a total of 5 shrimp which is disappointing seeing how the price is newly $20. read more

This joint is in the Hmart food court and relatively new to me! Although none of the dishes spoke to me, I noticed a bunch of lovely hearty noodle dish selections available and seeing the chili shrimp on the menu spoke to me. The chili shrimp is quite a pricey order at $20-ish, but the shrimp that came out were huge and very tasty and texture was great! The chili shrimp sauce was very very garlicky - good for my husband, ok for me since I felt a little nauseous after a few shrimps in lol. Overall since they're in the food court, there's quite a bit of competition to be had, but who could ever complain of more yummy variety? :) read more

Located in the bustling hmart food court! Jaebanjjajang ($18.99): is like a jajangmyon with seafood. We got a spicy level 2 and it felt like nothing wondering if they forgot to put spice or is it just not spicy at all. I like their noodles - they're thicker than I'm used to. The black bean sauce is on the sweeter side. Portions are enough for 2! Could use a little more seafood but overall I'd still eat it if I was craving jajangmyeon with like a serving a protein. tangsuyuk ($13.99): battered and fried pork pieces with a sweet sauce. It's served with the sweet-vinegary sauce together & it won't taste like much if it didn't get sauce on it. A little too bland and i feel like the sauce is missing the flavor a bit or maybe it isn't drenched enough in the sauce. Has a mochi-like texture to it (which I like). If you like your pork crispy, maybe ask to get the sauce on the side. (But a good tangsuyuk dish should still be somewhat crispy when drenched in sauce tho) read more

If I could rate zero I would. the old lady at the front counter is ALWAYS rude. She not only was rude to me and my partner but she was rude to everyone who came up to the counter rolling her eyes for asking for napkins or anything that required her to do her job. After paying and ordering two meals that we planned to share with friends, I asked her if I could have spare silverware and bowls for us to share the food and she pointed to a cart with supplies and said nothing. Later before grabbing my food I grab plates and utensils and go back to my table to wait for the food. She comes up to me and grabs my shoulder and says "you are not a customer, you cannot grab" I then said "I am a customer and I asked you and you pointed at the utensils" and she responds no and something else I didn't not understand. Then my beeper goes off and I tell her "see I am a customer" and she just laughs and says "oh sorry" and continued to laugh. She later approached us again and gave us four dumplings as an I'm sorry but by that point I just felt so disrespected, I threw them away in case she did something to them. read more

Paik’s Noodle - Don't go here - Noodles Near Me - Austin, Texas

To all my Kpop, Kdrama fans out there, when you see Paik Jong Won restaurant at Hmart, you have to try it! The portion is HUGE. How much noodles can you fit in one bowl? A whole lot. Jjajangmyeon: Great price! (Around $10) I think it's one of the cheapest places for this dish. Great flavors as well, the noodles are bouncy (the shape is similar to spaghetti for reference), black bean sauce has chunks of veggies and pork. If you are a meat lover, you may need to consider ordering a side of meat, since the pork in jjajangmyeon is basically for decor. Jjamppong: Great hungover dish! Same noodles as jjajangmyeon, the broth has great depth and good enough spice. There are pieces of octopus, muscles, and shrimp. I was pleasantly surprised about the amount of toppings. Service: Quick, sometimes it can take a while but similar wait time as other restaurants in HMart * There's chili powder at the cashier counter to add a little spice to your dish! read more

This place serves korean style chinese food. I was in HMARTA and not feeling adventurous that day so i opted for a comfort food I'm well acquainted with. I ordered the stir fry noodles with octopus, shrimp and beef. It tasted just like lo mein and was delicious. The portion was huge, I'd been eating for like 5 minutes and it still looked like inhad barely touched my food. It was delicious and had a light sweetness to it. read more

This place will hit the spot when you're craving that classic jajangmyeon + tangsuyuk combo. Unfortunately, unlike the previous restaurant, Paik's does not offer a combo version of this Korean-Chinese classic, so you end up having to buy both dishes separately. I will say this place is just fine as far as food court places go for service/food quality. It's inside the Hmart food court and finding a seat might be hard. But they have definitely improved the quality since their first opening days especially with the jajangmyeon. Unfortunately, I'm not too big of a fan of the fried pork as without the sauce, it can come off pretty bland though decently fried. read more

Food portions got smaller. I did liked the customer service from young man who was nice.

The food is always delicious! But this time I ordered the chicken fried rice and the cashier told me that because it was fried rice he had to charge an extra dollar. I could understand if a dish came with steamed rice and you substituted for fried rice, but to order chicken fried rice and up charge it a dollar because it was fried rice didn't make sense to me. I voiced that and his retort was "it's corporate's rules." So I paid a dollar extra for the chicken fried rice I ordered to be fried rice. read more

This place has one of the best Jajangmyeons in ATX! I love the sauce of their Jajangmyeons so much - it's on the sweeter end and never too salty. Another one of my favorite dish is their Jjampong aka spicy seafood noodle soup. Very generous portions and the spicy level is just right on point . The best thing about this food stall is their noodle. It's super Q and yummy, not too chewy and not too soft. Ambiance-wise, it's pretty chill. The stall shares the HMart food court with other street food stands so there's always plenty of seatings available. Sometimes it gets quite busy during dinner time/weekends but they always manage to make sure the food come out shortly after you place the order. Will keep coming back for more noodles read more

My boyfriend and I really wanted to come and try this place (it's a chain), and it seems like every person in Austin had the same idea. There was a super long line even at 10:30AM on a Saturday (they open at 11AM), but I can see why it's so hyped. I would definitely recommend coming during off hours if you don't want to wait a super long time, but you could always grocery shop or go grab boba while you wait for your food. We ordered tangsuyuk and jajangmyun, both of which were delicious. They're in their soft opening phase right now, so the full menu isn't available. Prices are pretty good, especially for the amount of food you receive. The jajangmyun was perfectly seasoned, and I'm a sucker for silky noodles. The pork was fried well, and the sauce was even better! I love how they give you pickled radish to balance out the richness of the dishes. I highly recommend coming here and trying some authentic Korean food. I'm also really happy Paik's Noodle adds to the Asian food scene here in Austin, and it's a great spot. read more

I think this was the only place in the food court that sold what I was looking for, jajangmyeon. I haven't had any in quite a while and I was craving some. Ordering was easy and my food was ready in no time. I just got the regular jajangmyeon and it was great. The noodles were chewy and the black bean sauce was flavorful. There were also little pieces of pork belly in there and lots of onions. It definitely satisfied my craving. read more

Been here for several times, the Jjampong & Tangsuyuk combination always go perfect together. The sweet & crispy tender pork deep fried with potato starch goes so well with the medium spiciness of the jjampong! It is a bit too much for one person, but if ya bring one more accompany (or if you are a big eater, you'll be fine), it's a perfect for two people serving. It is Monday, so the noise ambience was very nice as well. Not too loud, no over crowd. The pricing for these two dishes not over $24 is the best too. It is self serving, so ya just have to keep this in mind. You pick up your food plate, once your remote vibrates/make sounds, once you done eat afterwards, you return the whole orange plate back into their cart next to a counter. read more

I stopped by on a Saturday night in Austin because I was craving jajangmyeon and jjambbong. I ordered, but my son said he wanted soft tofu stew, so I ordered from somewhere else and waited. My son's soft tofu stew arrived and he was almost halfway through, but no matter how long I waited, it wouldn't come. I checked with Apple Pay and it had been thirty minutes. So I went to ask the lady directly, past the line, but she said, "Get in line! " before I even say anything In the end, I couldn't say anything and went back to my seat to wait. After 40 minutes of waiting, it still hadn't come out, so I stood in line and asked when it was my turn. When I did, she said, it turned out that someone had taken my food! My bell hadn't even rung! The old lady didn't seem apologetic, and my husband got mad after waiting so much that he asked for a refund. This time, they wouldn't give it to me because the last digits of my card were different.I went back to my seat to see why the last digits were different, and it was because I was using Apple Pay! When I went back to ask about it, she told me to wait while she took customer's order first. I really thought the service here was terrible. We waited for almost 50 minutes without even getting a bite to eat, and this is what happened!!!!! I don't think I'd go here again even if they had a Michelin star. No matter how young I look or how successful this place is, I don't think this is the kind of customer service they provide. I really, really wouldn't recommend it!!!!! read more

Love their jajangmyeon. It's always super quick and very tasty. I come back many times over and over.

Best cheap jjajangmyeon in Austin at around $10 a bowl. The food came out somewhat quick despite there being a huge line. My theory for the huge line is that 50% of it is because there's only one person working the register and handing out food out front, while the other 50% is that the food is actually good. The prices for the other items on the menu seem oddly high for what they are. Despite that, I ordered the chili shrimp ($17) and it turned out to be really good, but for heavens sake, why doesn't anything come with rice these days. read more
