    Fried Chicken (Hồng Kong Style)
    Marie N.

    Paik's noodles is one of the best places in DFW to get black bean noodles (Jajangmyeon). You always have to get their Tangsuyuk and Jjamppong to go along with it. Their new fried chicken is really good! It has a sweet, little spicy soy flavor. Inside they have a kiosk machine so service is really fast. Quick place to get lunch or dinner. Everything is self-service and they clean up pretty fast too.

    the inside was ordinary, nothing special, very typical local asian restaurant vibes. the food was good though, we got the jajangmyeon and the tangsukuk (which was my personal favorite) very flavorful pairs well together.

    This is another restaurant in Carrollton owned by the Korean celebrity chef Paik Jong Won. Paik's is my favorite place in DFW for jjamppong, or Korean spicy seafood noodle soup. They also serve lots of other Korean-Chinese classics like sweet and sour pork, jjajjangmyeon, jjajjang rice, etc. They are only open until 8PM so keep that in mind! (4.5/5) Gochu Jjamppong This is their extra spicy version of jjamppong which includes extra peppers. As a spicy food lover, this makes me so happy and the flavor of the broth is always on point. Also, they STACK the soup with so much vegetables and meat (pork & seafood) . (4/5) Bokkeummyeon This is their stir fried noodle cooked with shrimp, pork, green beans, and assorted vegetables. It's on the sweeter side and taste like teriyaki noodle with amazing noodle texture.

    The jjajangmyun was way too sweet for my liking. The jjamppong was better, but I still found it to be... a bit bland? Like it was missing something.

    My fav restaurant for jjangmyun! I always get the jangban jjangmyun because it has more veggies and seafoods, but it is a 2 person portion. Tangsuyuk is a must there too it's crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside (just thinking about it is making my mouth water again lol). The jjampong is also good too. The pricing is very reasonable and portions are very big too! I always take it to-go. Service is super quick and usually you don't even need to tip since it's self service. The restaurant has limited amount of seats, so it can be really busy if you go during lunch time or dinner time during the weekends or holidays. Recommend going on weekdays!

    It's a very chill spot for a nice lunch/dinner bite. Busy every time I come in town for a craving fix! They are clean and organized! The man in the front is always so nice and polite. Took my order very fast and gave me my number. The best JJajangmyeon (black bean noodle) i ever have, and you must try tangsuyook (fried sweet sour pork) with it. Best combination together, and it's like a burst of fireworks inside your mouth. The black bean sauce is savory, perfect seasoning with meats and vegetables in it, plus fresh delicous noodles. The fried porklet is crispy and tender. Love their sweet and sour sauce. Highly recommend. Always consistently good food and decent prices for big portion. I ordered 2 bowls of jjajjangmyeon and tangsuyook that feed 5 people!

    My cousins and I went out for dinner during my last day in Dallas at Paik's noodle in Carrollton. This noodle shop is owned my a famous Korean celebrity chef. We ordered multiple orders of jajangmyeon (black bean noodle) and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). I had the jajangmyeon many times in the past but this was my first time trying the tangsuyuk. The jajangmyeon comes with a cup of radishes, which provide some crunch and sweetness. There's a self serve station with utensils, bowls, water, scissors to cut noodles, and sauces like vinegar and chili flakes. Definitely add the vinegar and chili flakes to the jajangmyeon because they improve it a lot. The noodles were as good as I remember, they soak up the black bean sauce really well. I really liked the pork as well. They were fried to a perfect crisp, allowing it to soak up the sweet and sour sauce as well.

    It was my first time visiting Paik's Noodle. It is nice and clean small restaurant. It is self serve restaurant. There is a very small counter and there is a kiosk. If you are placing your order with cash, you place your order with person at the counter but if you are using credit card, you place your order using the kiosk. The restaurant has small menu...very few items. I ordered fried potstickers and Ja jang myeon noodle. The potstickers were well fried but I did not like the filling. I would not order the potstickers again. The Ja jang myeon noodle was delicious. Whenever I am in mood for Ja jang myeon noodle again, I would come back.

    Didn't really enjoy it here as the tangsuyuk sauce was way too sweet which was disappointing because the pork itself was well fried. The black bean noodles were also too sweet. The jjamppong was probably the best dish out of the 3 but still nothing remarkable either.

    We were SURPRISED but in a good way. Food is phenomenal, simple but delicious. Most Korean dishes are not as spicy so when we ordered the chili jajangmyeon we weren't expecting much but boy were we wrong. The chili kicked in on our first bite, and it paired perfectly with the onions and black bean noodles. Words can't say enough how delicious this was. The sweet and sour pork??? YUMMY. This made us feel like we were in Korea enjoying this meal. Family friendly place to eat lunch or dinner.

    As a franchise, it's pretty good, even despite it being packed into a koreatown plaza in Carrollton with an abundance of Korean food options everywhere. The food is fairly priced (especially the Jajangmyun, black bean sauce noodles). Aside from that, dish we also ordered the Tangsuyuk (crispy deep-fried pork), which came with a thick savory-sweet-sour veggie dipping sauce. It was okay; the sauce had a rather interesting taste, but it became somewhat one-note as we ate through the platter of batter. The jajangmyun was the star of the show. A single bowl fed both of us for lunch, and it was only about $10. After mixing it well, I felt the dish was simple, yet savory. If you've had the Chinese version, I'd say the Korean black bean sauce noodle is thicker and with a more subdued flavor. Use the pickled radish (danmuji) to cut the taste. My wife called it Korean fast food and I'd probably take this any day over McDonalds (no disrespect of course).

    No frills place located in K-Town Carrollton! My mom and I decided to visit since we were craving Jjajangmyeon! This place had great reviews, so we tried it out! We ordered at the counter: 2 Jjajangmyeon & 1 serving of tangsuyuk! Prices are reasonable, and our food arrived quickly. The reason for my 3 stars is for the quality of our Jjajangmyeon that day. It was MUCH runnier than we are used to (see the picture and how much liquid-y it is), thus making the flavor very diluted and sauce be watery. My mom didn't even finish hers since it didn't satisfy. However, we did like the tangsuyuk. It was cooked perfectly and crunchy! The sauce had great consistency and flavor. That was the redeeming dish of the experience . We probably won't go back again, but I'm glad we at least got to try it!

    First time for me and my friend trying Jajangmyeon Noodles. It was good. Not what I was expecting. Kinda thought there would be more flavor for the amount of sauce. We will try another place to compare. The noodles do taste chewy and fresh. The Tangsuyuk was alright. Very little meat vs the puff. The sweet and sour sauce was ok. Very light and watery. Not thick sauce like. Of course it was our first time trying these two dishes. So it may be how it's supposed to be but we don't know. They have a little water cooler station where you can get your own water. The pickled daikon is extra cost if you want more. They charge for to give containers as well.

Yesterday I ordered the spicy cold noodles, and today I went with the LA galbi combo, which includes the spicy cold noodles with short ribs. The short ribs are served on a sizzling plate and were absolutely delicious. When you walk in, you place your order at the front, receive a buzzer, and then pick up your food cafeteria-style from the kitchen counter area once it's ready. Everything is self-serve, which is why they don't accept tips. The utensils are tucked away in a pull-out drawer on the side of the table--super cute. They also offer complimentary hot soup for dine-in guests that you can pour yourself at the water station. The food here is a solid 10/10. I'm from California, where we're not exactly lacking in amazing, authentic Korean food--especially in LA and the Bay Area (Santa Clara in particular). But I have to say, it's rare that a place makes me want to come back immediately the next day. Maybe it's because I've had one too many Texas tri-tip lately, but this place was exactly what I needed.

Came here from a post on social media with high hopes. Ordered our food at the kiosk and took a seat. Later an employee came over to inform me they were sold out of something I ordered and let me choose something else. This is fine and not a part of my negative review - it happens - I chose the beef noodle soup, extra spicy, with marinated egg. The cucumber salad we ordered was lacking any and all seasoning. Sadly I make a version of this salad at home, Chinese style, and it is way more flavorful. They didn't let the cucumbers soak in salt beforehand, so they were completely flavorless. Even after adding soy sauce it still didn't save it. Normally the wife and I finish the cucumber salad at other places we order it from, but we didn't even finish this one. When our soup arrived it was extremely oily. Basically mostly oil it seemed, you can see it coating and clinging to the entire spoon. Complely unappealing. I'm not sure if this is something particular to this style/region of a Chinese food or what, but I couldn't eat it. Even worse than the oil issue however, was that the meat in the soup was completely inedible! Literally each piece was either 95% ligament or fat and was just chewy and wouldn't even break down. I kid you not there was maybe a nibble of tender edible meat in the entire bowl of soup. And I don't say this lightly, I'm not a picky eater and generally try to find the positive in food. To top it off, I didn't even get the right kind of egg I ordered in my soup. I wonder if they gave me someone else's order. Either way, it was terrible. Ended up leaving almost the entire soup, even though I was starving. As for positives, the egg noodles in the soup were okay. That's all I can give it. Also, the soup dumplings were delicious. However, given the disappointment in the rest of the food here, we will not be coming back just for soup dumplings. Sadly, this was a huge let down. No wonder it was so empty.
