    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    The service is very quick, food comes out in less than 5 minutes! A good spot for families. However, the food is super salty and the soup is VERY peppery to the point where we couldn't finish it :(

    Jjamppong

    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.

    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.

    When it comes to consistency and good food Paik's is a standout from the crowd. We always go ahead of the dinner rush and on weekends if you come between 5-7pm expect some wait time but it's worth the wait. On each visit we have our must haves the stir fried seafood jajamyeong and the deep fried tofu with mushrooms in a sweet and spicy sauce. And each time we try something different and it was the lemon chicken with a lemony sweet and spicy sauce. This one will be definitely be added into the rotation. Love all the complimentary pickled daikon and refills are free for the asking! The servers are alway great and greet you arrival and tend to your needs. The ambiance is lively with tables seating two to four or more. Can't wait to go back for more!!!!

    There was a 10 minute wait time on Sunday morning. The food is okay. You need to order at the counter before get seated. The stir fried is Jajangmyeon is my favorite. The flavour is very rich. I chose mild and it's a little spicy ". The sweet and sour pork is also good. You can either use the dipping source or pour it onto the pork. Also ordered the spicy seafood noodles. It's a little too spicy for us.

First thing I noticed when I looked at the menu was that the prices are very LA, but before you let that deter you, hear me out: the portion sizes are significantly larger than what you'd get for the same price back home. So in terms of value, you're actually getting a much better deal out here in Redmond. One thing that genuinely caught me off guard; they let me bring my puppy. If you're from LA or the 626, you already know that's basically unheard of. Redmond, Washington is on a whole different level when it comes to being pet friendly, and I loved every second of it. As for the food, it was great overall. The mala wasn't too numbing, which I appreciated, it had just enough kick without overwhelming everything else. The garlic a-choy was perfect, honestly no notes. The braised pork belly was good but I wished it was a touch softer, and I personally felt like my dishes could've used a little more salt or soy sauce, but that's an easy fix and purely personal preference. Would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

    ROYAL KITCHEN @ BELLEVUE (crossroads)…read more Parking is pretty tight here, especially on the weekends when it gets super busy. Luckily, we were able to find a spot right out front, so I'd recommend slowly circling around and keeping an eye out for people leaving. I found this spot through Yelp and had been really craving good Chinese food, so I was super excited to finally try it. My family and I came without a reservation and were seated immediately, even though the restaurant was very busy. This place is definitely known for larger parties, there were lots of families and extended families dining together, which really gave it a classic family-style vibe. You order a bunch of dishes and share a little bit of everything, which I love. The staff were really friendly and greeted us right away with complimentary tea. Fun fact: in the mornings, tea is sometimes an extra charge, but in the evening it's free. We ordered a few dishes, including the honey walnut shrimp (which is my go-to order at any Asian restaurant), salt and pepper squid, house special vermicelli noodles, and Chinese broccoli. The vermicelli was a clear noodle dish loaded with different proteins like BBQ pork, squid, and shrimp. Everything had great flavor, but my absolute favorite was definitely the honey walnut shrimp. It was perfectly crispy and delicious. My only complaint is the portion size for the price, it was about $21 for roughly 10 pieces of shrimp, which felt pretty expensive. Overall, the portions were on the smaller side for what you're paying. Toward the end of the meal, they treated us to a complimentary papaya soup, which was a light, fruit-based dessert soup and a really nice way to finish. Our total came out to about $80, so it's definitely on the pricier side for Chinese food. That said, the food was delicious, the service was great, and if you're in the Bellevue area, I'd still recommend stopping by.

And while we have often gone to the CID In Seattle, for many years and almost exclusively in recent years we have gone here and the previous business at the same location. I highly recommend this place and in my opinion the staff is usually always fantastic and they bring the food fast!! Today the service and food was fantastic and ordered so much it almost didn't fit on a 4 top table. We love leftover dim sum! But at the end of the meal they brought me the completed card with a total at the bottom. Didn't look beyond the total before tip and just gave the nice (very young) hostess my card. A server brought back just the two credit card slips and the price was seemingly $20 more than what was presented to me on the service card!?? I politely asked to see the bill again and then a longhgggh wait...... Then a heavily altered card was brought back showing the new total. I was not happy suddenly and asked why it was altered from the first one etc and a big argument from the server began that I didn't proliferate but she kept on and on and could not explain why all the changes by pen and saying that she was honest etc. insisting we "do the math" over and over Now we may have ordered that much food, but I know for a fact that the bill was clean written without alterations and $20 less than the corrected one. But still she couldn't give me a valid explanation for the changes and new total. In my opinion the high school age hostess made a mistake adding up before presenting the total to me and someone else edited it before running my card. If they had just admitted that I would not have been so disappointed. I don't believe that the staff here are dishonest and understand about mistakes but they did not handle it very diplomatically and it was a scene I didn't want to make. But I know that this was not the total presented to me for payment! Take a pic of your service card before sending the credit card to be run!!! It absolutely ruined our family outing and everyone was quiet in the car ride home. Not cool!!

From the moment you walk in, the cultural atmosphere stands out--many of the patrons are Asian, and on my visit, a few were even dressed in traditional garments, which added a vibrant, lived-in feel to the space. It's the kind of detail you can't manufacture, and it speaks volumes about the restaurant's credibility within the community. The interior itself is fairly average--nothing particularly modern or upscale--but it doesn't detract from the experience. If anything, it keeps the focus where it belongs: on the food. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. There were only two servers handling the floor, and they were clearly stretched thin. Ordering is done digitally, which helps streamline things, but you can still feel the strain during peak times. That said, the food started arriving quickly--our tofu noodle dish came out almost immediately, while the beef dish lagged behind a bit. Presentation leans traditional in a charming way. The plates and chopsticks have that classic, no-frills aesthetic that complements the overall vibe of the restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food. First, a word of caution: spice levels here are no joke. If you're sensitive to heat, you'll want to dial it down. But if you can handle it, the flavors are absolutely worth it--rich, bold, and deeply satisfying. The tofu was exceptionally soft, almost silky, and clearly freshly prepared. The noodles matched that texture perfectly--tender, well-cooked, and comforting. Pricing is another strong point. For the quality and portion sizes, it's very reasonable, making it an easy spot to revisit without hesitation. Overall, Nine Noodles is a great pick if you're looking for authentic flavors, a culturally immersive atmosphere, and solid value. It's not about fancy decor or polished service--it's about good, honest food. I'd definitely come back.

This restaurant is mostly self service; there are two kiosks right in front for ordering and a table full of prefilled drink cups. I think the only upside to this restaurant is the free cups of mango tea, which are slightly sweetened and fruity. I wouldn't say they are very mango forward though. Hot Oil Biang Noodles ($13.99) - The biang biang noodles here aren't very good. They seem to be stretched somewhat, but then I feel like they take shortcuts. Instead of being almost completely stretched via bouncing the noodles on the table, they only stretch it probably half as much as normal, then they cut the dough lengthwise several times - this is why I can see multiple clear corner pieces in the noodle instead of it being relatively straight. They also don't care to make it consistent in thickness. This causes major issues because the thinner parts are soft and mushy while the thicker corners are doughy and slightly undercooked. I don't know how, but the noodles also clump together, so in some bites, I'm eating three strands of mushy noodles right on top of each other. The sauce here isn't much better. It's supposed to be aromatic, blistering hot oil mixed with chili/vinegar and aromatics poured directly on the noodles. The problems here are multifold. Firstly, they don't drain the noodles properly, resulting in an excessive amount of water diluting the sauce. Secondly, they use far too much vinegar, making the sauce overly acidic. The vinegar is by far the dominant flavor in the dish. While the dish seems like it will be spicy due to the red color oil, it's almost completely diluted out by the vinegar and noodle cooking water. The dish is basically not spicy at all due to these factors. (2/5) Spicy Cumin Lamb Biang Noodle Soup ($14.99) - This dish suffers from the same noodle issues as above, but the soup format improves some aspects slightly, but worsens other aspects. Since the soup is hot and the noodles are soaked in the broth, they soften more readily, so the soft portions are even more mushy than the "dry" noodle. The thicker portions are nice and bouncy though. The soup itself is relatively flavorful, slightly gamey, and tastes like it actually is a lamb bone broth, but it doesn't really have depth of flavor. Again, it's not really spicy at all. The lamb on top seems like thinly sliced hot pot lamb, pan fried until very dry. If not for the fact that the lamb is sliced thin, it would be extremely tough. It does have a nice fragrant cumin flavor though. (2/5) Those were the two worst bowls of noodles I've had in a long time. I wasn't particularly impressed with the noodles at the U District location of Xi'an Noodles either, but they were far better than these two steaming piles of excrement. Bathrooms - Two unisex room shared with Snowy Village. One was locked though
