    I have been to their other 2 locations and this place served a way smaller portion. There was barely any meats inside the sauce. Almost $15 with tax. They are located inside Hmart.

    My friend treated us after pickleball tournament at La Habra. We ordered spicy jjamppong (it's extra spicy - really spicy and good), jajangmyeon (typical Korean Chinese style), sweet & sour pork (authentic) Vibe is clean, self serve Korean Chinese noodle shop with enough menu items. Everything is well thought off and clean. Portions are large and price is good. And it's speedy perfect if you are hungry and looking for quick lunch or dinner.

    After eating jjajangmyeon last night, my wife wanted more. This time, we decided on an old favorite...Paik's Noodle in Buena Park. I first tried it when I went to Santa Clara for training and was excited when I found one within an hour's drive. There are differences but offer the same standard fare. Paik's Noodle features chef Paik, a renown Korean chef. My wife knows this with her BTS obsession. He owns a few restaurants in Korea and is well-versed in Korean culture and cuisine. This particular Paik's Noodle is small shop where one orders and given a pager. The menu seemed expanded! There were more options available including chicken wings and jjajangmyeon with meat. We ordered jjajangmyeon with meat, jjajang rice with jjampong soup, and fried dumplings. Jjajang sauce is great with just about anything but something about having it with rice, egg, and soup makes the meal feel complete. My wife devoured the jjajangmyeon and really appreciated the meat as regular jjajangmyeon sauce has onions and cabbage only. However, the sauce is a bit on the sweet side and my wife prefers savory notes better. We will probably be back especially since it is conveniently located by an H-mart, 85 degrees, and Daiso.

    I haven't been here for a moment and on our way home we decided to grab black noodles, jampong, and sweet and sour pork with the boys. Ordering is simple and quick enough. You can choose to eat inside or there are outside communal patio area so we opted for that since we had our puppy with us. This is a quick bite to eat place for when you have that craving for black noodles and sweet and sour pork. The black noodles are tasty...if you have a craving for it by all means swing by and get it out of your system. The jampong broth has slightly changed. It has a slightly deeper taste than before, which in the past tasted like pepper water without any deep seafood taste. However, it is still slightly lacking in flavor still. Sweet and sour pork is always our boys' favorite and this one is also great if you ever take it for take out. The menu has slightly changed with new additions...I would be interested in returning to try a new item, but I sure wish they can get the jampong broth done right....still on the hunt! If you are craving for a quick bite of black noodles and sweet and sour pork...give this place a try!

    This place gets really crowded but outdoor seating is available. I was disappointed with the jajangmyeon because the sauce was a little burned. I loved the wings but the picture of the fries was a lot bigger than what was served. It here's a promo right now if your order signs you get free fried potstickers. They were ok. The stir-fried jjampong was spicy but yum too. Restaurant is clean and can get loud. It's small and friendly.

    After binge-watching on some k-dramas lately, I've been craving on some jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk. So I head down on Buena Park and go to Paik's Noodle and it truly doesn't disappoint! The jajangmyeon is legit here! The noodle is fresh, not sticky and the sauce is so good. It seems so simple but flavorful. And the tangsuyuk.. Oh my! So crunchy! I'm so glad they put the sauce separate and I love to just dip each piece to the sauce so each bite is crispy but you still get the flavors of the sauce at the same time. This is a self-service type of restaurant so you place your order and pay first. There are tables and seats outside too which are wonderful especially when the weather is nice. There are other restaurants and places nearby so it's a great place to hang out with friends and family.

    I've been craving black bean noodles and tangsuyuk and knew I had to get it from Paik's after watching him on Culinary Class Wars. My friends and I got the black bean noodles with the minced pork. The pork was such a good addition! It was super juicy and added a great flavor to the dish! The tangsuyuk was equally as delicious! I'm glad they don't skimp out on the food. Both dishes were around $30 total!

    Met lunch buddies looking for a hot meal. 11:30am on a Friday afternoon. Couple other diners enjoyed bowls of soup & noodles. We joined them. Menu is limited to various noodle dishes, chicken wings, fried pork, shrimp. More fast-food, than gourmet. Everything we ordered was delicious. Generous portions. Quick service. Fair price. Helpful, courteous customer service. Hot or cold water complimentary. Clean dining area inside restaurant with additional tables under covered patio outside. High-volume traffic. By the time we received our meals all tables inside were taken. When we finished eating people were waiting for tables so we promptly left stomachs full & satisfied.

    Who else is here after binging the Netflix instant classic series from Korea -- "Culinary Class Wars" with Judge Paik? These jjajangmyeon options are out of this world, while nailing the balance between savory and sweet. Get ready for heavy, al dente noodles that are cooked to perfection. Hours are limited so this spot is perfect for an early dinner once you're done with your shift. Expect to fork over more than $10 for a plate for a person; worth every penny. Quiet shop with effective host and chefs.

    The place is nice for eating outside, like a food court. As for the jjambbong, honestly, it was disappointing--there were only three mussels, one of which was actually edible, and it felt like I was just eating the noodles. I don't think I'll be having jjambbong here again.

    Jjajang mien and Seafood noodle.
    Malinee S.

    Went to Hmart in HB and ordered the seafood noodles. Honestly, they were just okay--kinda disappointed 'cause the flavor was pretty bland. Tasted like instant noodle seasoning. Hardly any meat. Good portion thou. My friend got the Jjajang mien and thought it needed more salt. I tried hers, and I totally agreed; it was definitely missing that umami kick. It was a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, it wasn't terrible, though.

    Order Number 1.  Most popular.  Kid approved.
    Nanette A.

    Meet up with friends. A good place to be if you're craving noodles. We ordered the number 1 most popular dish which ended being kid approved. The service, the ordering process was quick to order with a decent amount of wait time for the food to come out. The patio was welcoming with a fire pit ambiance. I would like to come back to try one of their seafood dish!!!

    My friend and I had lunch here for the first time today and we really enjoyed our meal. The service was fast and friendly and the presentation was picture perfect. My Jjamppong Noodle Soup was spicy and meaty, exactly what I wanted and my friend ordered her all time favorite from her childhood called Korean Chinese Thick Noodles with Black Bean Sauce called Jajangmyeon. Everything was tasty and had flavor and I can't wait to return to try their Garlic Soy Wings and Chili Shrimp. Deliciousness.

The broth has great depth, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the portions are satisfying. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a place you actually want to come back to. Afraid to dine alone? Don't be! I've gone there by myself many times, and even though you're sharing the space with others, the food and overall vibe make it feel comforting like you're in your own little world, just enjoying a really good bowl of ramen. LISA truly stands out--she's incredibly approachable and welcoming. Whenever I can't decide or don't remember what to order, she always makes the best recommendations, and they never miss. You can also tell she treats everyone, including her colleagues, with genuine respect, which says a lot about the kind of environment here. What matters most is that she genuinely listens and really takes your feedback about the food seriously! When you visit Kitakata Ramen, ask for Lisa!!! Great food, great service, and great people.

At first, they refused to seat us because our full party hadn't arrived yet. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, and there were several empty four-person tables available. I also noticed other tables with only two people sitting at four-person tables. I explained that we were ready to order food for our friend in advance as well, and eventually we were allowed to sit and place our order. The whole situation felt unnecessarily inflexible, especially since the restaurant wasn't crowded. The server who initially refused us also came across as unfriendly and visibly annoyed. The ramen was good, but the karaage chicken came out overly greasy, and the dumplings seemed undercooked. I've visited multiple times before, but unfortunately this was my worst experience here.

Something to remember though is to make sure to ask for Wasabi and/or Ginger. They do not automatically serve them when you order rolls because some people just waste them. Makes sense!

Anyways I saw that they had plenty of noodle dishes to choose from so decided to give it a go. Ordered the yukkaejang (spicy braised beef soup) with the rolling dumplings (both kalbi and kimchi). The dumplings were called rolling because I assume they were rolled out and shaped into balls - spherical meat stuffing balls covered with a thin dumpling wrapper. I've eaten dumplings my entire life but this type of dumpling was a first for me so I was very interested in trying this out. Turns out the dumplings were pretty good. It does fall apart pretty easily when picking them up with chopsticks to dip into the sauce which was a bit annoying, so you should be mindful and careful of that if ordering them. The yukkaejang was not the best I've had but it was still pretty good. Prices were fair and the quality of food was solid. I wish they served free water as they make you buy bottles of water if you ask them for water. But with all that being said, I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.
