Loved this place! Spicy, delicious, fresh. You can't ask for more! So glad this place is right down the street. We ordered the sweet and spicy chicken wings, chili jajanmyeon and Spicy Chicken dish. The dish came out nice and hot. Everything was super fresh. Chicken was crunchy and super flavorful. The chili noodles were soooo amazing. One of our favorites! We were greeted with open arms. Seems like a family owned restaurant. The sitting area is moderately sized. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Ambiance reminded me of an authentic mom and pop shop. Yall need to come show love to thos place if you love Korean food. read more

I've tried lots of Paik's locations across the country - this is the BEST! The korean owners put a lot of care into honoring the flavors of jajangmyeon & jjamppong & the side dishes as well! Jajangmyeon & jjamppong were DELICIOUS. The kkangpoongi (spicy crispy chicken) was also sooo well fried and spiced. Even my immigrant korean parents approved. PS. Don't forget to add vinegar to your radish read more

I've visited 3 Paik's Noodle locations in the Greater Houston area --- and this one is my favorite! The owner mentioned that Chef Baek Jong Won even visited this location about a month ago! I wish I would've been there that day. The service was so warm and friendly. The food was delicious. The consistent standards are evident at Paik's Noodles. I felt a little congested the day I went in, and the warm and spicy side of jjampong soup was just what I needed! Each table has its own tablet for ordering, but customers were also ordering at the counter for take away orders. 감사합니다 read more

CYPRESS, TX 77433 / KOREAN-CHINESE SPECIALITY CUISINE / 05-26-25 & 10/04/25 / LUNCH / 2 Adults, 2 Kids +The jjampong was pretty good. It had a nice variety of seafood and the broth was full of umami. +Their tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) is great. +The jjajangmyeon was a bit watery and too sweet in my opinion, but the kids enjoyed it. -The shrimp fried rice was mushy, not like other wok-tossed fried rice dishes that you would find at Korean-Chinese restaurants. Overall, it's a nice option if you're in the Cypress area near North Fry and Barker. read more

An absolutely delicious Korean-Chinese cuisine experience. The dishes were flavorful and delicious. The noodles were freshly made and ideally cooked (slightly chewy). Very filling entrees. If you're unfamiliar without the dishes do not allow the dark and thick sauce to scare you away from this dining experience. The sweet and sour pork was tender with a crunchy outside. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is inviting with k pop music playing in the background. Very clean. Large parking lot. Would highly recommend and I look forward to coming back. read more

Whenever I am craving jjajangmyeon, Paik's is my go to! The restaurant is easy to find, located in a plaza with plenty of parking. The interior is nice and clean with lots of tables and seats. I have been here 3 times so far and the quality of the food has been consistent. The jjajangmyeon noodles are plump and chewy, and the jjajang sauce is rich and savory. The tangsuyuk (served with sweet and sour sauce) is crispy on the outside, has an addictive chew, and pairs well with the noodles. The service is great, all thanks to the kind and attentive staff. One time, they sent free dumplings to our table when they noticed we were celebrating a birthday! Please check out this Paik's location if you are in the area! read more

Now that time has passed, I have been able to try their other menu items which are so delicious! I've had the Jajjang Rice, soy garlic fried chicken, and Jjampong! All are delicious! I will say the jjampong was too salty for me but I am more sensitive to salt than the average person. The jajjang rice is so good with the omelette on top! It was hearty, little sweet, and savory! It really hits when you're craving something comfy like eggs and rice and adds an extra pizzazz! The fried chicken might just be my favorite - so crunchy and juicy! Plus their wings are pretty big. Customer service is good - well rounded. I would just say it is a bit inconsistent. When I go here with friends and family. we clearly are not and therefore do not look Korean, we get less or no banchan/side dishes like Kimchi and pickled radish. That disappoints us because we love those side dishes so much! If they are worried that we won't eat it or will just toss it, maybe to have consistent service, just ask! The last time we went, our server asked if it was our first time and when we said we were repeat customers, she instantly asked if we wanted more radish which I appreciate but I think it should be standard. Last thing I will mention are the punch cards they give out. My friend and I both had one because its been done before; we each get a stamp. However, this last time, they said only one punch card per table even though we paid separately. I really, really love this place and will certainly return again, but customer service needs to be more consistent in my opinion. read more

We came here for Jajangmyeon for dinner and ordered the Sweet & Sour Pork, Meat Jajangmyeon, and Original Jajangmyeon. The Jajangmyeon was really good--I'd rate it an 8.5/10. To be honest, I didn't notice much difference between the Meat Jajangmyeon and the Original--the only real difference was the extra meat. Both had that rich, savory black bean sauce and paired perfectly with the crunchy, yellow radish. The radish was great palate cleanser between bites. The Sweet and Sour Pork, on the other hand, was a 6/10 for me. I liked that it was served with the sauce on the side, keeping the pork crispy instead of soggy. The sauce was much sweeter than I thought it would be, which didn't quite suit my taste. That said, I did enjoy the variety of vegetables in the sauce, especially my favorite--wood ear mushrooms. Overall, it was a solid meal! read more

Order at the table- Jajangmyeon is very good- I think the sweet and sour pork had better texture at the original location. The yellow radish also stood out for the freshness and it wasn't overly sweet. The lady was very nice and gave us extra. We shall return when the craving hits for Korean-Chinese! read more

Having heard about Korean/Chinese food existing since a visit to DFW area, I was eager to try Paik's locally in Cypress. The restaurant is a fully renovated former Frenchy's, clean restaurant! Parking is easy. Each table has tablets to order your food. There's also something about Korean eateries and the stainless steel cups - ice cold water tastes even better! We had the sweet and sour pork and and jajangmyeon. The sweet and sour pork came out fast, crispy and dipping sauce was great! The jajangmyeon took longer to prepare for some reason but our waitress offered a free drink for the wait. The dish was excellent, though I wish it came with more pork (though you can order extra meat for an additional charge). Overall we definitely will be back! Great customer service, kind wait staff. read more

This place quickly shot up my list for "feel good" foods! I normally order the sample jjamppong with the side of fried dumplings and it's perfect every time. Their sweet and spicy wings are also cooked so well that it's not a chore to get all the meat off the bone. Their service has always been very attentive and polite. The setting is very casual and you can definitely eat at your own pace, which I recommend since the portions can be pretty large. Always come hungry! read more

So happy for this new location! As a self-certified k-drama addict, craving for Jjajangmyeon comes nature after a night of binge-watching. By luck this location is much closer to me than all the others. We have been there twice already, once during their soft opening, and will be back for more. Our meal was yummy and service was very attentive. The portion was big as well. Besides their signature noodle dishes, we also have their sweet & sour pour and dumplings. All very tasty. Hope foodies in Cypress area show lot of support for this authentic Korean noodle place. read more

The restaurant is a casual diner. The was food was ok and my husband said it would have been a better experience if the dishes were bigger in size. The sweet & sour chicken was interesting: the sauce was given on the side & the fried chicken was served alone. Nothing like chinese sweet and sour chicken I am used to. Nice to try since Paik is a renowned name in Korea. The food can't be bad. read more

Food is great. But recently they have chosen to go with clover for online orders. This means everyone that had built up rewards have just lost them. I was surprised with the quality of the food and service, but now I am suspicious about why they outsource their website orders. I'm not happy about my missing rewards either. I was beginning to be a regular customer. Clover has so many issues with log ins that it makes me wonder why they would go this route if they had a perfectly good app for themselves. If they have to cut corners there... where else??? read more

Service 5/5: -Server was very attentive and proactive in helping. She explained the popular dishes as it was our first time here. Food 4/5: - Jajangmyeon 5/5: The flavor of the noodles were not too salty nor too sweet. It was balanced and the texture of the noodles were great. Our favorite dish we ordered. Decent amount that I shared with my partner. - Sweet and Sour Pork 4.5/5: The pork came separate from the sauce which was great as it allowed us to keep the pork crispy for leftovers. Sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it still tasted good. - Soy Garlic wings 3/5: Texture was nice but sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. The base flavor was still good. Maybe eat this with some rice. Value 5/5: Good portions and cheap:) Overall would come again! read more

The K'Pop Chicken (cute pun) is a popcorn chicken version of Korean fried chicken with a sticky glaze that has a bit of a kick to it, while the Soy Glazed Chicken is (what I think is) their grilled option, which tastes exactly as it sounds. I definitely recommend the K'Pop chicken, but both were tasty. Ingredient options are fun but REALLY fusion-y... obviously, don't come here expecting any type of authentic experience.

They have a fair drinks selection but I wish they could add a Korean-inspired option like sikhye if they really want to keep the theme cohesive.

Love it spicy? Done. Prefer it mild? Also done. BONUS: Vegetarian-friendly! the mushroom soup base flavorful and there are tons of fresh veggies, tofu, bean curd, etc. available to load up on. Meats - The protein selection is stacked with an array of fish and shellfish, plus chicken, pork, beef, lamb--you name it. Tip: Dinner is a higher price than lunch, but there are several premium items only available at dinner, very worth it. The whole experience is fun every single time, keeps me coming back again and again.

We were in the mood for soup, so we searched for pho and Yelp led us here…read more First impression: it was dinner time and only one small family was dining. We were told to pick our own seats. The table we chose was clean, but the seats and floor weren't. The host kindly cleaned it up for us. We sat for quite a while before asking a staff member for water. We also requested lemons, but they never came, so we let it go. We ordered large bowls of chicken pho, and that was definitely the highlight. The portions were generous and packed with flavor, with a great balance of chicken and noodles. Midway through the meal, we ordered lemonade. The host didn't seem too happy about it and went to the back for a while. It seemed like it might be made from powder since she grabbed ice from the front machine. Then we found out it was $5, which was surprising. Service-wise, it felt a bit off at times, but you could tell they were trying. We did share a few laughs with the male waiter, which helped the experience. At checkout, we got a percentage off for Mr. Pho's 7th anniversary at this particular location, which was a nice touch.

And the verdict is! Fully demolished! Great pho!

K Tea Boba

I found myself on the opposite of the city for business and wanted to explore out some places…read morebefore I head back home. One place that was close by and a suggestion, K Tea Boba. A very interesting concept to have both bánh mì, Korean wings and boba. I was drawn to visit and noticed it is located in a bit of a smaller business center across the park. A very casual spot with a fair amount of seating. One thing that was convenient is having a kiosk for card transaction which not often businesses have. As a first visit I was a bit more selective to try a mix of items. I did purchase two drinks: Vietnamese coffee and frozen tiramisu, 12 piece korean wings with fries, and a combination bánh mì. Usually I would speak on the drinks but did not really get to try it when I got home. But for the food, I did try. The Korean wings I enjoyed. If you are familiar with the red pepper paste gochujang, this was the sauce. It is a sweet spicy flavor and was also garnished with sesame seeds. You can choose with mild or spicy but I did mild. Very flavorful and a bit of a sticky sauce so napkins are good to have around. The combination bánh mì to me seemed much smaller than I usually am accustomed to. But what is nice is the filling. The contents are more generous portions. This will be a Vietnamese ham and pork sandwich, picked carrots, radish, pate, Vietnamese mayo, and jalapeno. I enjoyed it and having the sandwich is a good choice especially when I included an egg too. Overall, what I can say for K Tea Boba, this would be in my dark horse list of places I have tried. It is very discreet, you could potentially pass it up, but does have a lot to prove. I was a bit taken back because of the previous pictures people have posted of the business last year but not a problem. The owners are nice too. But very last point, I have had a fair share of bánh mì growing up and it is a bit challenging when I am not too far from "Chinatown/Little Saigon" Bellaire. The Vietnamese baguette seemed more dense and not as crispy. I am used to it being more light and airy with that nice crunch crispy outside. Just a small observation but not a deal breaker. On my end, I will heavily consider to dine in more often to fully appreciate everything while it is fresh versus taking it home for convenience but may not be as good after the drive home. *additional add on to the review* (3/20/25) This morning i did try the Vietnamese coffee on my way to work. Just like bánh mì, for me I have also had different varieties of how it is made. K Tea is a nice flavor, not too strong but I am tasting more of a hazelnut after taste. A bit more milky maybe to balance out the bold coffee flavor. It is good but not what I am accustomed to, where it is more potent and more darker in color.

I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh Mi, Potato Corn Dog, and Matcha Milk Tea -- everything was absolutely…read moredelicious! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend! Will come back to try Korean Chicken Wings

I was looking for the Korean 92 restaurant that used to be there and funny enough. It was placed by wings 87. Food: the wings and all of the food was simply amazing. My favorite was probably the cheese sticks, followed by the curly fries with cheese. The wings were simply amazing as well. Very tasty and full of flavor. He also brought out some chips that he was test driving to see about adding to the menu and I'm gonna tell you right now. They're simply amazing. I hope he adds these to the menu because they were top notch. The food is made to order and very fresh. The customer service is great. This is an easy five star review. If you're in the area, please support this local business and buy some of their great food. I'll definitely be back soon.
