    Absolutely delicious food! My husband and I went here for a date night. Everything was super delicious 10/10 recommend!

    I took my friend out for lunch at Paik's on a weekday. We both ordered the Jajangmyeon(Black Bean Noodles). The noodles were incredibly flavorful and you can really taste the black bean they used. The staff were very friendly and offered incredible services. It was both our first time here and they offered us these plastic covers to put over our white shirts so we don't get the black bean sauce on them which I thought was incredibly helpful. I would definitely come back again since the food were great and the pricing were amazing.

    Stopped in for lunch and ordered the jjajangmyeon and the tangsuyuk (chicken) with a side of rice to share. The jjajangmyeon was flavorful and the noodles were perfectly chewy. It's on par with other restaurant jjangmyeons maybe even a little better so, 7.5/10. The tangsuyuk had a light crispy batter and the pieces of chicken were super juicy and tender. But I personally felt the sauce lacked dimension and was just a little too sweet for me so, 7.1/10. Service was quick and friendly! The price was fair and we had leftovers! I'd definitely come again when in the mood for fried food

    Very disappointing experience. The fried noodles were burnt and had a strong burnt taste. The sweet and sour pork was far too sweet and was difficult to enjoy. Overall, the food was not good at all and was much worse than other Korean restaurants I've been to. I was really looking forward to this meal, but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. I won't be coming back.

    A great casual restaurant for some Korean food! The inside is bright and clean and there's plenty of seating. Their menu is pretty simple, specializing in variations of jjajjangmyeon, jjamppong, and other small Korean bites. You order at the counter and sit down, once the food is done, it's brought to you. Service is very quick here. I've been here twice now and I've tried their regular pork jjajjangmyeon, their seafood stir-fried jjajjangmyeon, their jjamppong, and their tangsuyook. Everything is very flavorful. The noodles are thick and juicy. The portions are huge. And, the meat is crispy and delicious. Good quick and casual spot!

    My friend and I were in a bit of a rush today, so we ended up taking out the meal to go. It was lovely that the noodles and the sauce were packed separately. I got the jjomppong, and my friend got the regular jajangmyeon. I will say for the size, it is a bit on the pricy side, but the taste is good. I can't speak much to the jjangjangmiang other than my friend really enjoyed it and was able to eat some as leftovers. However, I should caution that she is not a big eater, and I personally think the average eater would be able to finish one bowl. As for the jjompong, there was a good amount of seafood within the broth, which was good, and the broth was rich and flavorful. Also, please note that I personally don't think the soup was very spicy, so if that's something you are cautious about, as long as you have some tolerance, you should be ok to appreciate the thicker noodles that go with the dish as well. I ordered online and the food was ready quickly, although the staff were a bit rushed when I was picking up my food. No issue though, since it was lunch time and things get busy. The restaurant seemed to have a decent amount of seating from my brief foray of picking up the food. Had my friend and I had time, we would have much preferred to sit down in the restaurant to eat and take our time chatting.

    New favorite noodle spot. Had heard good things and stopped in for lunch. Very clean and bright and spacious. Extremely friendly staff. The jjamppong is SO GOOD!!! The base is perfectly balanced and spicy. The seafood is so good and I love the noodles. I came back two days later with my entire family. I wish it was closer to where I live.

    We heard mixed reviews when they first opened up so finally decided to stop by and try. The GOOD We ordered the black bean noodles, fried pork, and seafood noodles. Black bean noodles - $11 - more SAVORY than sweet compared to other Korean places I've been to. I actually prefer it savory - sauce wasn't too salty or sweet and stuck to the noodles well - noodles were nice and bouncy - meat was in there, but they were cut up into fine and skinny pieces so they were hard to see - good portion size overall Fried pork $15 - meat was small, breading was big - not much flavor unless you use the sweet dipping sauce - good portion size Seafood noodles - broth was very flavorful, you could definitely taste the seafood in it - good spice level Overall, I would come back but only for the black bean noodles. Most Korean places I've been to were TOO SWEET, but this place makes it SAVORY which is my preference. $11 for the black bean noodles is a great price for the size you get! I would skip the fried pork.

    Solid, tasty, and budget-friendly! Came here craving some Korean comfort food, and Paik's Noodle did not disappoint! I ordered the black bean noodles (Jjajangmyeon) and they were seriously good--chewy noodles coated in a rich, savory black bean sauce with a hint of sweetness. Super flavorful and satisfying. The portion size was generous (definitely enough for one hungry person or to share a few bites), and for the price, it's a great deal. You get a solid meal without breaking the bank. The staff were friendly and efficient--food came out fast even during a busy time. The vibe is casual and clean, perfect for a quick bite or a chill meal with friends or family. Looking forward to coming back to try the spicy noodles and maybe the dumplings. Definitely recommend if you're craving some good Korean noodles that hit the spot without hitting your wallet too hard!

    Sweet and sour pork
    Sean M.

    I waited for the hype to die down before trying this place. It was my first time trying Korean-Chinese food. The restaurant gives off a Panda Express vibe to me, and I knew I wanted to try the stir-fried Jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork based on others' photos. The food came out quickly, and I think they did a good job blending Korean and Americanized Chinese flavors. Nice fusion. The dipping sauce for the sweet and sour chicken was unique; it looked like the sweet and sour soup you'd find at Americanized Chinese places but was served as a dipping sauce--very creative. The stir-fried Jajangmyeon had a good portion size, enough for two people to share, despite being the most expensive item on the menu. It was saucy and looked very appetizing, with plenty of noodles, though I wish there had been a bit more meat for the price. Everything tasted good, but it felt like fast food-level good to me. Maybe I expected a bit more from all the hype. I'd come back to try other menu items, but it's not something I'd personally crave.

    Beef Jjampong
    Shawn P.

    Review: Beef Jjampong Tried the beef jjampong and was seriously disappointed. It barely resembled actual Korean-Chinese jjampong--no heat, no depth, and definitely no wok flavor. Instead, it tasted more like Korean beef radish soup (soegogi muguk) with noodles thrown in. The ingredients were underwhelming, and there were hardly any vegetables--just a bland broth with some meat. If you're expecting a rich, spicy, seafood-forward jjampong, this isn't it. Wouldn't recommend.

    Jajangmyeon
    Deb K.

    Our first time here and we tried the Jajangmyeon and Sweet & Sour Pork. $30 including tip was a decent price. Staff were very friendly and recommended these two dishes as the ones that are popular in Korea. This is supposed to be Korean Chinese cuisine and we've never had that or even heard of it before. You get a small bowl of yellow daikon to start. We've had that before so that was nothing new to our taste buds. Jajangmyeon - some sort of noodles with black beans, onions, peas, and mushrooms from what I could tell. Warning, the noodles are really long so this dish was hard to share. Sweet & sour pork was bartered pork pieces with a sauce... good but not what we expected. It didn't come with rice and that was weird as we thought we ordered a rice dish??? Overall an interesting place to eat.

    Iris L.

    10/10 recommend coming here for when korean-chinese cuisine cravings. Stirfry jjm and jjampong always hit the spot. affordable pricing and quick service. Friendly people and just pick off menu then pay at cashier. Wait for food to be delivered. Have your own water service at your table with most commonly used seasoning and sauces. Good for family and friends to dine or even if you're in the mood for solo dining. very chill either way. Indoor/outdoor seating and ample parking spaces

    Any gluten free options at this location?

    All the noodles have flour and they do not have gluten free option for noodles. Their sweet and sour pork is made with rice flour, so that is gluten free, as well as jajang rice.... Since rice is gluten free 😅

    We were looking for a new Chinese restaurant and found Kuang's Chicken off of Capitol HWY down the…read moreroad from PCC Sylvania, its located right next to the 7-11 in a small shopping center. As you walk in your are greeting by a friendly staff member, they will sit you down at your choice of table. Its a small by cozy dining room. Their menu has all of your favorites , from appetizers, soups, noodles to Mu Shu Dishes. We came in during lunch, on the back of their menu you will find the the lunch specials within various proteins, veggie, noodle of fried rice options. Be warned, you get your choice of Spring roll or BBQ Pork with Fried rice "or" just Hot and Sour soup. The important distinction that is missing in their menu is the word "or". I wanted hot and sour soup, as my order was taken, I asked for clarity , I ordered Hot and sour Soup, and ask not to have rice, she then asked if I wanted an egg roll so I assumed it was one of the other options as a side that came with the food, it did not but I did not understand this until later on. So be ware. The food portions are large, my son ordered the General Tso's Chicken, its marked as spicy but it was not spicy, the taste of this dish was very good, the sauce had great flavor. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken also marked as spicy, it had a slight kick but nothing major, it had good flavor but not a lot of veggies, it did have a good portion of chicken. So then we both get a cup of fried rice to the table, and sweet and sour sauce and an egg roll. I did not think anything of it based on the way the menu was laid out within the lunch special. The only thing that I found odd is that I ask not to have rice but still got rice, I figured it was an oversight. A few min went by and I never got the hot and sour soup so I moved on and finished my meal. They also serve hot tea which was very good. When we asked for to go containers they were brought to us quickly. After your meal, you will need to go to the counter to pay, she handed me our check and I asked her for clarification around the lunch special, so you can choose either BBQ Pork or a Spring roll, which either choice comes with Fried Rice but if you want Hot and Sour Soup, you would not get a spring roll or fried rice. We pay our bill which seemed a bit high since each dish is 9.95 but we did not stop to question it more. We get to our car and the employee comes running out the door asking me to come back in, she had given us another persons bill so we were overcharged, I am very thankful that she come out to correct the issue. I would share that its a two person operation, the waitress is very direct and short but she is running around doing multiple things at a time. Given our overall experience I gave them a 4 star rating, the food quality and taste is overall good, the service is what it is, the pricing is very affordable, I would also check their food safety scores, they are slightly concerning.

The hot sour soup is full of flavor and has the right sour to spice. Bbq pork was moist and tender. We had the pea pod chicken and Mongolian beef. The chicken was tender and plentiful. The beef could have been crispier for me put that's my preference. Good basic , fast, affordable Chinese in the neighborhood.

The food was tasty, the portions were satisfying, and the service was friendly and attentive. If you're looking for ambience, this may not be the place.

    41 years ruined by new ownership…read more Called in a take out order, new woman answered. Upon pick up, I noticed the booths in the dining room were gone, so obviously something more has changed. Prices were significantly more, like $5 more for the same combo as a year ago.... Okay, everything is going up. She brings out my order in a plastic lunch container, I look at her dumbfounded and say I ordered the number 10 dinner combo, and it should be 4 boxes of food, and it's incredibly light. She assures me it's what I ordered. I get out to the truck and peek inside, and there is about 3/4 of the normal food and only a small scoop of fried rice. I walked back in and asked, yup new ownership as of 7 months ago. I point to my T-Ball picture from 1987 on the wall and express my displeasure with the changes. -Red sauce was gelatinous and appeared to have been thawed -Soy Sauce is a different brand, Lucky (I loved the Double High brand, salty not sweet) -BBQ Pork is now bright red, no lacquer glaze, dry and sliced way too thick -Sesame Chicken has no sesame seeds in the batter -Pork Fried Rice has only the smallest flecks of bbq pork, dry and very small portion. -Fried Shrimp was the closest to previous, but still seemed off. Not sure I will be back. I'm heart broken as my hometown Chinese place of 41 years just died a silent death while I wasn't looking. I grew up with the previous owners son and although change is never easy we thank the Lee's for all the wonderful food and wish them a happy retirement. As for the new ownership, get your sh!t together or you'll never survive. $20 for the same combo I've been ordering for decades is laughable. I always had leftovers, but none this time as the portions are that small.
