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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Paik's Noodle - Jajang Rice - Chinese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

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. read more

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. read more

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!!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Back again to our favorite jajangmyen spot. Ordered the chili jajangmyen, and it was delicious. Chewiness of noodles was on point as always, sauce was flavorful. read more

Noodles were nice and chewy, tasted pretty authentic and wasn't sweet. They give a generous serving size and good amount of sauce for $14. The chili was definitely spicy but still really good and could taste the flavor. Fried dumplings were really good too but those are hard to mess up. I like how you pay upfront and choose where you get to sit, feels very casual and easy. The food came out pretty fast and the servers check up on you occasionally. read more

I was craving black bean noodles with tangsuyuk (which is fried pork with the sauce on the side) and this place popped up while searching for a place near me at the time. I drove here, and there is plenty of parking. Went inside, ordered up front first and paid, then sat and waited for my order. It took about 10 minutes for the food to arrive. The noodles and pork was so good I finished it within 20 minutes without taking any for togo! Cant tell if I was super hungry or if it was too good to stop. read more

Paik's Noodle - Black bean noodles and tangsuyuk - Chinese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

First time trying Paik's and it was a solid 4.5/5 for me! Went for lunch at 1300 on a Friday, and although most tables were full, we didn't have to wait to be seated. In terms of what we ordered, we decided to keep it simple and went with the basics: jjamppong, jajangmyeon, and tangsuyuk. Portions were pretty generous and their prices were hella reasonable--$60 total after a 20% tip. I'm gunna be a lil biased bc I'll admit.. I'm super easy to please when it comes to these dishes lol. But we thought each item was fire. I would definitely come back! read more

Hard to find a good jajamyeon place around here but I do like this place. My fav is the chili meat jajamyeon. Jjampong is not bad. Ordered through DoorDash. read more

This is more of a 3.5 star but I'm rounding it up to 4 because I think I will come back to try other items here. I use their online system and it went smoothly. I got the original black bean noodle sauce and the garlic wings. Noodle: good portion for the price, but wish there was more protein, there was barely any. Still doesn't beat my favorite place in Lynnwood but pretty decent Wings: I was surprised how good these were. The meat was fallen off the bones and the flavor was really good. It was kind of pricey though. 5 small wings for 10.95, though it does come with fries. I came half an hour after they open and it was already busy. I can this place getting crowded and loud but the staff seems to know what they are doing. Overall, I will come back read more

Korean restaurant that focuses on Korean-Chinese dishes like jjamppng and jajjangmyeon. The prices are fair for Seattle as both of those noodle dishes were under $15 and filled us up, and tasted similar to the ones I've had in Korea. The sweet and sour pork I personally wouldn't get again as it wasn't exceptional yet somehow was the most expensive dish. The crispy bun was actually surprisingly addicting, and I would definitely order it again. All in all, relatively affordable yet quality Korean-Chinese restaurant. This is also a order at the counter place so the service isn't as nice as other sit down places but service is fast. read more

Might hate me for admitting this, but found this place on tiktok and went with a friend to give it a shot. We ordered jajangmyeon which was good, but lacked bit of flavor, maybe needing more salt. Solid noodles, but I would probably choose another option next time. I did notice many tables order the stir fry version, so I would opt that one next time. The real reason I am giving them 5 stars is the lemon chicken. The breading was so crunchy while maintaining the inside of the chicken moist. The lemon flavor came from the dipping sauce, which was excellent in my opinion. They also gave us radishes which was a nice palate cleanser. Looking forward to eating here again! read more

Paik's noodle has been a family favorite of ours for years now. They serve Chinese/Korean Cuisine, which highlights dishes like Jjangmyeon and Jjampong primarily, both of which are delicious here. The Chili Jjangmyeon is easily my favorite, but usually I bring a friend or two and we share a few dishes. 3 people can comfortably eat here for 15-20 dollars a person including tax and tip, the portions are sized for sharing. The founder Paik, also is a Judge on the Netflix Series "Culinary Class Wars", so we have become endeared to him even more as customers of this restaurant. Cannot recommend enough! Easily our favorite Korean place on the Eastside! Special thanks to Bradley who made our last visit extra special with his warm service! read more

My go to spot for black bean noodles. Sweet and sour pork is also the best in the area. I tried the black bean stir fried noodle this time but I prefer the original saucier version better. The soup version is very MSG heavy I think I prefer the black bean better. Service is quick but can be packed during rush hours. read more

Paik's noodle is delicious! We came by on a rainy evening for a hearty meal and ordered what felt like a lot of food, but we ended up eating all of it because it was so good.

I've never had such a tasty combination and I will definitely be back! read more

Paik's Noodle - Stir-fried Jajangmyeon Jjamppong Sweet & Sour Pork - Chinese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

This place is a popular chain, and it's so good. We came for dinner and there was a wait of around 10-15 minutes when we arrived. There are quite a few tables inside but it was packed! You order and pay at the counter, and they bring your food to you after. I got the jajangmyeon and we also got the tangsuyuk to share. The portion was massive - so many noodles and plenty of sauce, easily dividable into 2 meals. The pork was also really nice and crispy, with a yummy sweet and sour sauce. The flavor of the jajangmyeon sauce was so perfectly savory and balanced, probably some of the best I've had. Not to mention, this place is also extremely affordable! The massive bowl of noodles is only $11 which is a steal compared to anywhere else. read more

5 star delicious noodles at Paik's. For $13.45 the chili jajangmyeon is the best deal around featuring a huge bowl of perfectly chewy noodles, black bean sauce, pork and veggies. Level up with the meat jajangmyeon for even more pork! The service is at the counter, kind and fast. During a busy lunch service on a Friday our food came out in less than 7 minutes. The ambiance is comfortable with soft k-pop music and it is super clean. I can't wait to come back and try the fried shrimp offerings and various seafood options.

This spot is solid and tastes comforting! You order up front and take your number to the table. The workers here are nice. The food is heavy and big portion for the noodles. The meat portion is decently portioned. They give a good amount of noodles in the jjampong and black bean noodles. The jjampong hit the spot on a cold day. I took the rest home and the second day it tastes even more flavorful. read more

Idk why we thought 3 dishes between 4 people would be enough but we probably should've got at least one more. Everything was solid though. Not the best, but good enough to be good. It was probably because the menu was a bit limited so with just the 3 we figured we had a good coverage/sampling of what they do best. read more

Had a wonderful first time visit with a friend on a Friday Evening. As expected, it was extremely packed and busy since we came during the dinner rush. But it was well worth the wait. We ordered the Stir-Fried Jjampong! And it was quite delicious. While the spice was not as potent as I was expecting, it certainly had a very nice kick to it! Shrimp and Squid also go very well together, though my favorite part was the noodles and the sauce! And since it was jampacked, it was a little noisy, but that is expected on a Friday Night! Was able to still carry a conversation with my friend and glad that we didn't really have to talk loud or shout. Hope to come back again soon! read more

One of our go to Korean noodle restaurants in Bellevue! We always get the jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk. Good sized portions for the cost. The restaurant setup is fast causal, so you order at the counter and find your own table.

My husband had been wanting to try Jajangmyeon for a while after seeing it online, he'd only had instant package until our friends took us to try it in person. Our 1st friend took us to a place in Tacoma, but we were underwhelmed. Then, my friend brought us here! She told us this was opened by a famous chef in Korea who created these casual restaurants in America. You order at the counter, grab a table & the servers bring you your food: We got a nice variety of dishes to share, sweet & sour pork, black pepper beef, stir fried Jajangmeyong which has soooooooo much flavor, I want to try their one with the gravy to see how much flavor that one has, and the soup noodles Jjamppong. For a fast food atmosphere...the food is cooked to order, made with great quality ingredients & more like a good family style Korean restaurant. I'm so glad my friend brought me & it's in the same lot as Bellevue Uwajimaya's. The portions are really big too. This is a great place to get a hearty meal for lunch or come with family/large group & order family style so you can enjoy a variety of dishes at once for lunch or dinner. They have a ton of more dishes including Korean Fried chicken wings, fried rice and more, I'll definitely be back! read more
