    I like consistency in the places we go to eat and the food here achieves that mark! I highly recommend the deep fried lemon chicken with tangy dipping sauce is a choice to not overlook. Our go to on each visit is the stir fried seafood jajangmyeon that comes loaded - enough for two people - with noodles, pork, shrimp, squid and vegetables in spicy black bean sauce. If you want something spicy try the deep fried battered shrimp in a sweet and spicy chili sauce topped with peanuts. The service is no frills and you order at the counter and they'll bring your food out to you. The staff is great and feel free to order all the pickled daikon you can eat! The interior is clean and modern and the noise level can get a bit lively when filled with customers but at a tolerable level.

    Upon my initial visit, I was uncertain whether to sit or place an order first. Thus, I stood by the entrance. Additionally, I was unaware that I had arrived five minutes prior to the business's opening time, despite the door being wide open. Several staff members passed by without acknowledging me, with one employee staring at me for a while. I wish they had greeted me promptly and informed me that the business would be opening soon, rather than leaving me feeling ignored. After a considerable amount of time had passed, the first thing the staff member said was, 'We are closed.' I was genuinely puzzled. It was not a good experience to start with, but ok. In contrast, the order taker was remarkably friendly. He greeted and communicated nicely. Other servers too. They raised my star rating higher. Culinary-wise, I had high expectations for bold flavors, given Paik Jong Won's founding and ownership. However, the Tangsuyuk was lacking in seasoning. The Jajangmyeon was acceptable but not outstanding. My friend's choice, Beef Jjamppong, while not my preference, was more appetizing than it appeared. The close by competitior has much more flavorful dishes, in my opinion. Wish for better experience from start to finish in the future.

    The food came out pretty quickly and staff were friendly. I enjoyed the jajangmyeon and jjampong and lemon chicken. The portions were huge too. Definitely can be shared with a group. I recommend checking this place out!

    Casual and quick Korean food that you always see in Kdramas. Good price for the portion! Jajangmyeon - 4/5 Savory and sweet! Compared to other jajangmyeon's I had which were bitter, this was a bit sweeter. Noodles were chewy and jajang was flavorful. Sweet and sour pork - 4/5 My favorite dish that I ordered. Pork was tender and I thoroughly enjoyed the light and thin batter, making it addictive. Two things that could have been improved was the sweet and sour sauce and the crunchiness of the pork. The sweet and sour sauce was missing a little something -- perhaps a bit more sourness? Shrimp fried rice - 3.5/5 Good basic shrimp fried rice that is not dry. I would've preferred no jajang sauce on the side and more fried rice so I wouldn't get this again.

    You have to order first before grabbing a table. Service is fast. Water jugs and yellow radish are brought to table - no kimchi. Ask for scissors if you prefer not to slurp up long noodles. Tables get cleared pretty quickly but the disinfectant spraying should be closer to the table and not spread to others around while they are eating.

    Came here after work on a weekday and it was surprisingly busy. We put our name down and got called back after about 40 minutes. We came back almost immediately (within a minute of getting the text), but somehow our table had already been given away, so we had to wait another 15 minutes. The whole seating process felt pretty disorganized. Once you're called, you have to order at the counter before sitting down. We ordered a variety of dishes to share. Overall, the food was just okay. The jjajangmyeon and jjampong were decent, but the fried items were oddly soggy and didn't taste fresh. Service was where things really fell apart. It took over 30 minutes for food to start coming out, and I had to repeatedly follow up on missing dishes. It felt chaotic and uncoordinated. In the middle of our meal, one of the servers rushed over and asked for my receipt and card. I spoke to her in Korean (since she was Korean) to ask what was going on, but she didn't explain and just walked away. She later came back saying my charge didn't go through and asked if I paid with Amex. I told her I used a Visa and could already see the charge on my card, so she might be mixing me up with another table. She still asked for my receipt, which I gave her. After some time, she returned it and just dropped it off without any explanation or follow-up, which felt really bizarre. I really wanted to like this place since I miss having a good Korean-Chinese spot nearby, but after this experience, I don't think I'll be coming back.

    We saw that this place had recently opened and decided to give it a try. We ordered the spicy jajangmyeon and the stir-fried jajangmyeon. The spicy version was basically a classic jajangmyeon with extra green peppers and plenty of heat--it was definitely spicy, while the black bean sauce leaned a little sweet overall. It was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. The stir-fried jajangmyeon, however, was the clear winner. The portion was huge and easily enough for two people, with seafood mixed in as well. The sauce tasted noticeably different from the regular version and was much richer and more flavorful. Service was friendly and the food came out fresh. Overall, we'd definitely come back, especially for the stir-fried jajangmyeon.

    We had the Jajangmyeon and the sweet and sour pork. The meat had no gristle and as not greasy at all. Really enjoyed the noodles and... to get scissors at the table was super exciting for me. The health rating here is "good". I didn't have any problems with cleanliness here. You walk to the front to order and pay, and it's delivered quickly to the table. Our items didn't come out at the same time, but we didn't have to wait long for the second dish. Our items were tasty, the noodles could have been hotter, they were warm. I requested a fork, the metal chopsticks were really slippery but I like seeing the metal chopsticks and cups, that makes me feel like they get sanitized properly in the washer. The portions were fair. Two of us ordered one noodle dish and the sweet and sour pork, enjoyed plenty, and went home with leftovers.

    Bumped into Paik's Noodle and my impression is a solid 4 star rating. The service is awesome: super friendly staff, no waiting around forever to order, and whether I'm there in person or using the app, everything moves fast. Food usually hits the table in like 8-10 minutes. The black pepper beef is the real winner here. It's packed with tender beef slices and that wok hei is legit--you can taste and smell the high-heat magic, that smoky char flavor that makes it feel super fresh off the wok. The Jajangmyeon though? It's fine, but kinda meh for me. The gravy and noodles are decent, but it felt pretty light on the actual ingredients--mostly just noodles with not enough meat or veggies to make it feel satisfying. For the price I was hoping for a bit more stuff in there. The place itself is clean and modern, but yeah, it does smell pretty smoky inside from all the wok cooking going on. Doesn't bother me much (kinda adds to the vibe), but if smoke smells bug you, just a heads up. Overall, fast, tasty, great service, and that black pepper beef keeps me coming back. And the complimentary pickled radish.

    if you're looking for a bowl of comforting korean food, paik's noodle is the place to go! the chili Jjajangmyeon is my favorite as it provides a little bit of heat that pairs well w a slightly sweet black bean sauce. it isn't overly rich which is why i could get it every time. the seafood jjamppong is also very yummy! whereas jjajangmyeon is sweet and salty, jjamppong is more sour and salty. it's very comforting on a cold day and they don't skimp out on the seafood either! food comes out fast and the team is friendly. the interior is decent sized. have tried to squeeze 10 in there before and although doable, you'll have to wait awhile! overall, great experience, reasonable prices and consistent delivery of some korean staples.

    Honestly wasn't expecting a lot since it's a big chain, but wow did they deliver on the flavors! I got the jjamppong which had a good amount of smokiness in the spicy seafood broth and the noodles were good as well. The tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) was crispy but light with good chew and the jjajangmyeon was tasty as well. Big portions for the noodles. The service is friendly and you order at the counter before being seated. Casual dining seating.

    Chili Shrimp

    Its been long overdue to write a review for this spot. We are so glad there's a Paik's noodle in washington. We've come here a couple of time after we moved up here a couple month ago. The place is great and the staff are very friendly. The only thing different from out of state was that we had to place our orders prior grabbing a table; but its whatever doesnt change the fact the food is great. What we got: Sweet and sour pork/Tangsuyuk (5/5) Its our favorite; consistently delicious and just as good as i've had it out of state. We always order it everytime. Spicy Jjajangmyeon (5/5) Our favorite noodle dish to get; plenty of chilli on top. Get the regular if you dont like spicy; its still just as good. Chii Shrimps (4/5) First time we tried it. It was good. Suprisingly spicy; i though it would be somewhat sweet. I wonder if i can order it w/ the sauce on the side instead? Because that would be perfect if the shrimp stay crispy. Overall Its always good to go to Paik's Great food overall and the service was great. Ive tried almost everything on the menu (when i was still in california) and they all delicious.

    Meat Jajangmyeon
    Generous Y.

    I'd say this spot is a no frills shop, food met expectations without being extra. All things considered, price is especially fair for the area. Ample parking in a plaza which gets bonus points. Meat Jajangmyeon - simple noodles swimming in a pool of savory umami sauce. The black bean sauce is tasty blending all three flavors of savory, sweet, and salty. At the price point, the meat portion is balanced, though all fatty. The fattiness adds more salty, savory to the base jajangmyeon but would love more of a solid meat protein.

    My friends and I stopped by Danji Korean Cuisine for dinner and I was honestly blown away by the…read morequality of the food here. As visitors from the Bay Area where there are a bunch of Korean restaurants, I can confidently say the food here is far better than your average Bay Area Korean restaurant. Between the four of us, we ordered a 12 half-and-half piece wing set, a seafood pancake, a tofu soup, and a beef bibimbap. Although food takes a long time to come out of the kitchen, the food is worth the wait! The seafood pancake was some of the best seafood pancake that I've had. The pancake had generous amounts of seafood in it and the crispiness could not be beat. Although the bibimbap comes in a large stone pot and is sizzling hot coming out of the kitchen, you unfortunately aren't able to extract any burnt rice from the bottom. Perhaps a little bit more oil is needed to achieve this? Despite this, it's still a really nicely constructed bibimbap bowl with a solid variety of vegetables. The chicken wings are crispy on the exterior and juicy on the interior. The wings are on the larger size, so once you get past the thin layer of crispy skin on the outside, I recommend dipping the wing back into the leftover sauce on the plate for more flavor. Last but not least, the tofu soup had a deep kimchi flavor, and was very mild in terms of spiciness. I thought the rice cakes included in the bowl were cooked perfectly and had a nice bounce to them. Overall, if you're looking for Korean food in this part of town, I don't think Danji Korean Cuisine can be beat.

The staff was efficient and friendly. We ordered the Katsu Ramen, Seafood Pajeon, and Galbi Soup. The Katsu Ramen came with instant noodles, which were different from Japanese ramen. I enjoyed the instant noodles as they had great flavor, but the katsu was a little hard and not crunchy. The Seafood Pajeon was excellent--it was crunchy and delicious. The Galbi Soup came with a lot of beef, but we found the galbi to be saltier than usual, and the beef might not have been as fresh. The seating was spacious. Parking was easy with street parking.

Bon is located in the same plaza as H-Mart and so they have a shared parking lot or you could walk over from Redmond Town Center which is just a block away. The inside is surprisingly large with at least twenty tables, which is bigger than most Korean restaurants that I've seen on the Eastside. At 11:45am on a Saturday, my group of three had no problem getting a table. Their menu is extensive and has all the Korean food classics including seafood pancake, soondubu (stone pot tofu soup), galbi jjim (beef stew), Toppokki, bibimbap, and cold noodles (spicy and non-spicy versions). Their entrees are around $20 each, but some larger hot pot dishes (meant for 2-3 people) can be up to $70. I ordered the BULGOGI BIBIMBAP (~$24). Unfortunately they don't serve stone pot Bibimbap here, but the portions are large and beautifully presented. My dish came with plenty of fresh vegetables- pickled carrots and cucumbers, sesame bean sprouts, daikon kimchi, lettuce, and marinated black mushrooms (which I've never had in Bibimbap before but was soooo good) on top a bed of fluffy white rice! The egg was cooked perfectly over easy and the meat was marinated well too- I do wish the dish came with more meat though. They give you your typical sweet and spicy gochujang red sauce on the side as well as white vinegar and mustard sauce for added flavor. Service was fantastic and you get complimentary hot tea and ban chan (which are refillable). The ban chan included cucumber kimchi, daikon kimchi, sesame bean sprouts, kimchi, fish cake, and sesame choy. All employees were very friendly and made you feel at home. The inside is clean, but the only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is that they have an Okay health rating and not a Good or Excellent health rating. I didn't look up the exact violations, but it would be great to see an improvement in score. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

    Ok so here are my thoughts…read more Taste/Presentation of the dishes - 3.5 to 4 stars. My daughter and I ordered Rosé Teokbokki and Signature Kimbap. Both dishes were quite tasty and the presentation was excellent but Kimbap was cold (I guess that is okay but it should really be served just slightly colder than room temp) and the sides that came with Rosé Teokbokki were premade stuff from Young Ocean or another vendor, not housemade. Also the sauce for Rosé had "Korean Corn Soup" in it. I love the Korean Corn Soup but it's a cheap instant stuff you can buy at any Korean Grocery. Service/Venue/Ambiance - 3 stars. Simply put - not memorable but not bad either. Place was clean but very blank. It definitely does not feel like a place that should charge the price they do (more to come on this later). Food came out pretty fast and the server was okay. The space was pretty big and we didn't have to wait to be seated (Sunday 11:30am). Price/Value - Negative 5 stars. 20 dollars for what we got is quite ridiculous. Terrible value! Half the food we ate wasn't even made in house. On top of all this, they charged 80 cents more than the listed prices on the menu!! Wow and why? They ask for tip too. There is nowhere on the menu that says they charge 4% service fees. This is such a scam imo. Restaurants that charge service fees! Please stop. Unless the fees go to pay the wages of the employees, it should be illegal for businesses to do this. Overall, you can definitely live without this place. Food is pretty good but you really deserve better than feeling you got ripped off plus the extra 4% when paying the bill.
