Had to stop by after a few friends told me about this place, and honestly it was worth taking their suggestion. Bestie and I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was slightly packed. Not many tables but it was enough to get people in and out, since it seems more like a takeout spot! Menu was straight forward and prices were fair. Got the japchae, korean fried chicke , gyoza and spicy tofu soup. Everything was delicious, especially the fried chicken!! They even have like a stamp card so if you go often, you get a little reward. Highly recommend trying this place out if you want a Korean cuisine fix! read more

Paik's Noodle - Korean Near Me - Fresno, California

My friend wanted to go here for her birthday on Saturday and I'm glad we did. Since watching Culinary Class Wars and finding out one of the chefs (Paik) had a restaurant (chain) here-- it's been on our list. It's opposite of Sakura Chaya on First and Nees, same lot as McDonald's. We ordered the Japchae (of course)-- one of my favorite Korean dishes. So simple, yet so good! We got a half order (5pcs) of the Garlic Soy Wings + half order of the Sweet & Spicy Wings, the Chili Shrimp, the Sweet & Sour Pork, and a bowl of rice (x2). This was more than enough food for us (3). They gave pickled radishes on the side and I also asked for a side of spicy sauce (chili oil and garlic-- fire). We all preferred the "Spicy" Wings over the Garlic Soy-- the flavor was just better but they were both good options. We all loved the Japchae, duh. The Chili Shrimp was really good and flavorful-- and we were pleasantly surprised by the quantity as well as quality. Our least favorite, sorry to say, was the Sweet & Sour Pork. It wasn't bad, just not our favorite. I did opt for dipping it into the spicy sauce rather than the Sweet & Sour sauce though. We also probably would've been okay with just one bowl of rice as well, since we had the Japchae. We're in 100°+ weather so we were not in the mood for soup lol so we'll have to come back and try out some of the soups another time-- as well as their stir fry dishes. Service was quick. You order and pay up front. The girl who helped us was nice, and helpful. They even give you a dish for free (if it's your bday)! Pretty cool of them to do. The restaurant itself isn't much to look at, nothing that stood out to me. They had a good amount of seating available considering they aren't that big inside, so that's a plus. If you're looking for some good Chinese - Korean fusion food, this is your spot. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was still satisfying to our bellies-- and the leftovers came in handy later too! read more

All of our bellies hurt after eating here. And the only time our family all eats the same thing is when picking food up from a restaurant (an infrequent endeavor, mind you.) The customer service was good and the fellow working the cashier was very kind. He answered our first timer questions and made multiple suggestions. We ordered the Jajangmyeon and vegetable fried rice. The fried rice was really lacking flavor and I turned it up some at home with some Livia's, soy sauce/oyster sauce, Asian sugar, mirin, and 2 more eggs. Yes, I had to recook their food to meet our palate. The Jajangmyeon was good upon the first bite, and then was meh upon the second. It had veggies and pork, but needed WAY more to make it worth it. All in all, we were disappointed, unwell, and no reason to return. Maybe 2 stars is to considerate and I'll hear it from our moderators to bring it down because I had to recook it... read more

I was excited about this place since I've heard other locations up in the bay were good. You order first, pay, then find a table and they will bring the food out to you. I came at a non-busy time and service was pretty quick. - jjampong (4/5): really nice spice/flavor to the broth, good amount of meat and seafood, noodles however were a little softer than I prefer - sweet and sour pork (1/5): there really was no flavor to the pork itself or the sauce that came on the side, would not recommend Friend got the jajangmyeon and said he liked it. This chain didn't live up to the hype unfortunately. read more

First of all, you are not going to come here unless you like Korean food. This is VERY popular in both the Bay Area and Southern California. Here is a little history; "Paik's Noodle delivers the best in Korean-Chinese cuisine. Since our beginning in Seoul in 2006, we've expanded to over 300 locations globally. Inspired by Chef Jong Won Paik". I'm a Bibimbap/Banchan kind of girl, and stick with my FAVS, so I have often 'eyed' Jajangmyeon (Paik's signature dish) but never had it before. . . until now! We ordered Chili Jajangmyeon & Chili Jjamppong. Both had good flavor. You may consider having your chili peppers on the side, so you could add them as you go, rather than totally mixing them together. WATCH THOSE NOODLES! They have a habit of flipping around your bowl and spitting out sauce on your shirt! I speak as one with experience! LOL! The staff was 'over the top' outstanding! Friendly, checking several times if we needed anything, genuinely helpful! Five stars for staff! This is a 'niche market' that is set up more for TAKE OUT, rather than dining in. And we saw LOTS of takeout orders! There is a tiny water station, with even tinier water cups. . . am I at the Dentist office? NOT a convenient situation if you like a lot of HEAT in your food! Unfortunately, it's also located right next to where you buss your own dirty dishes (ew) . . . Sadly the floors are needing attention too. They DID just open, to get up and running, so there may be improvements in the future. Now for the 'fly in the ointment'. The music was such a LOUD and STRANGE cacophony of NOISE, the likes I have never heard before! Something that a 'bipolar' might enjoy if they were in their MANIC phase. It was downright IRRITATING and took away from the experience of dining there. Both of us could not wait to get AWAY from it. So, 5 stars for staff, 4 stars for food and 1 star for environment. Would I be back? YOU BET! But it will be TAKEOUT! ;) read more

As someone who binged Culinary Class Wars, I was so hyped to see that we had a Paik's Noodles here in Fresno! The place is super casual with a simple interior! You order and pick up your food at the counter. THE FOOD: 〰 Jajang Rice (4/5): Super comforting! The jajang sauce, rice, egg, and shrimp all came together really nicely and I love that it came with a bowl of jjampong on the side! Considering this is a chain, I was surprised how comforting of a meal this was. 〰 Fried Dumplings (3/5): I mean, you can never go wrong with a dumpling. It was a great addition to the meal but it wasn't anything to write home about. 〰 Sweet and Sour Chicken (3/5): I thought this was just OK! The chicken didn't have much flavor to it, the sauce was pretty standard, and I thought the chicken could be crispier. Still good! 〰 Stir-fried Jajangmyeon (5/5): BEST DISH OF MY VISIT! It was so flavorful and had a perfect spicy kick. This was so yummy!!! If I come again, this is the dish I'd get without a doubt. Overall, this is a great casual spot to visit if you're in the area. read more

We met up with some friends that highly recommend this restaurant. We were not disappointed with the food and service. The dining area was clean and comfortable though a little small, no booths just open tables. Food portions are large and delicious. We ended up with Jiamppong with spicy noodle, pork, squid, mussels and vegetables. The other dish was vegetable stir-fried noodles with oyster sauce. Sides of pickled radish were included. Both dishes savory and filling. read more

Service: it's mostly self-serve. Orders on counter are bused back to table by the customer, enabling them to reduce headcount and focus on food prep. Had three orders take just 10.5 minutes on 5 pm on a Saturday: pretty fast right? The chef goes from table to table asking customers about the quality of the service and food, although I missed him when I was filling my water cup. Ambiance: relaxed and friendly. So new that some of the promotional posters haven't completely unrolled yet and still have their creases (not a bad thing). Floors unfinished, so that kind of vibe. Food: a bit more complicated. Other reviews I saw complained about portions and meat. I ordered noodle beef jjampong and I think only got six pieces of meat for 14.45 (compare with the sliced radishes for scale, you'll see them when you walk in the door). Others in my group got the spicy jjampong and the meat Jajangmyeon, perhaps try those instead. I might come back later when I can evaluate this experience more objectively. Or just stick with pho if I want sliced beef. read more

Didn't know the made culinary wars into a restaurant... I didn't expect to see Mr Paik seeing at the front. After taking a quick photo with the celebrity, I was greeted with many amazing food options and Asian drinks ranging from the sweet ones we got to the alcoholic ones I wished I could try (had work the next day). Much like the one I tried in LA, the jajangmyeon was great and the japchae was a much needed refreshing taste. However, I've finally tried the Jjampong (had a whole bowl to myself after the sample) and man was it one of my favorite seafood soups I've had. As a seafood fan, I loved the mussels that complimented the taste I got with the broth. Would highly recommend for those looking for a newer taste! read more

We came here after watching the culinary class wars show on Netflix and it made me crave some jajangmyeon . They weren't super busy but they did have a few tables that were full. We got a spicy jajangmyeon and chili shrimp . It wasn't too spicy at all but the flavor was great . The chili shrimp wasn't as crispy as it was at the other Paik's noodle I had frequented . I want to come Back and try the cream shrimp , tangsuyuk, and seafood noodle . Service was really friendly and food came out fast !! read more

Definitely a good amount of food for the lunch combo and such a great deal! Add a bit of vinegar to your noodles and it's soooo tasty! The sweet and sour chicken was more fried batter than chicken and slightly on the over fried side but still good nonetheless with the sauce that helps soften it up. I came here on a weekday lunch and there were only 2 other tables there and no line to order. You come in, order, pay, and sit down. The lady behind the register brought my food out to new since it wasn't busy. There's a small area next to the pick up window for condiments. read more

Paik's Noodle - Lunch combo- Jajangmyeon Sweet and Sour Chicken - Korean Near Me - Fresno, California

I don't really have anything bad to say about this place. The food is very average and good. Portions are average as well so you're not getting a whole bunch when it comes to the noodle dishes. We got the chili shrimp which came at a very decent portion for $20. Shrimps were jumbo sized and pretty big. I'm not the biggest fan of the sauce only because the garlic has an artificial taste to it but overall it's still good. Don't be fooled by the name it's not spicy at all. lol! I believe the name "chili" refers to like the sweet chili sauce for eggrolls. The fried dumplings were normal fried dumplings. I believe it was pork filled with cabbage/veggies if I'm correct. Nice crunch to it I personally liked to dip the fried dumpling in the Jajangmyeon sauce!!! Jajangmyeon is a little bit on the sweeter side, but I don't mind that I actually thought it went well with the pieces of pork on top. They're very generous with the sauce so if you love to eat foods that are super saucy, then this noodle dish is for you. I'm not too sure if it's just me, but I feel as if these noodles were a little bit bigger than what I'm used to, I don't have any problems with it but only that I couldn't finish my plate because it was so much hahah!!! The jjamppong definitely had a kick to it so if you're not used to eating mildly spicy stuff, then this noodle soup is probably not for you. It's not spicy in a sense where you have to drink tons and tons of water to reduce the heat, it's more of an aromatic spice that hits at the back of your throat. A good cough or two after every bite is what happened to me haha The noodle dishes do come with complementary yellow radish, which I thought added a nice touch. Typically a lot of places would not give you complementary yellow radish, but this place does!! I didn't know, but I guess they are doing stamp cards now, so if you come to this place often, then definitely seize this opportunity . Service is great, everyone there was really kind and friendly. read more

Updated review for professionalism! The owners of this location did reach out and I do want to acknowledge that they were very transparent, took accountability, and vulnerable as a new restaurant should be. That takes a lot of courage. Unfortunately, I still don't plan to dine with Paik's in the near future however, I believe they handled the situation well. Hoping others who visit will have a better experience and best of luck to the business here~ read more

Came here for dinner and really enjoyed it! We ordered the Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and the Chili Shrimp. The portion sizes are huge definitely enough for two people to share! With two main dishes, side of rice and two drinks, the bill came out under $50. The flavors were bold, the shrimp was perfectly fried with just the right amount of sauce, and the soup had a nice balance of spice and seafood. Overall, a solid spot if you're craving hearty Korean-Chinese food and want generous portions that leave you full and happy. read more

I was elated to learn that Paik's Noodle had opened in Fresno. One of the most globally popular Korean restaurant chains, Paik's Noodle is known for its signature Korean-Chinese (Sino-Korean cuisine) dishes: Jjangmyeon (black bean noodles), Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup), and Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). Paik's Noodle owes its popularity to the speed and consistency of its food preparation and straightforward creation of the delightful, familiar flavors of the dishes. Paik's Noodle also offers variations of the signature dishes, and the prices are reasonable. For example, you can swap noodles for steamed rice or egg-fried rice. Meat could be swapped out for seafood and vice versa. The Jjangmyeon starts at $10.35. Most dishes are under $15. If the combined heat and flavors of the Jjamppong dish - which starts at $13.45 - need a real kick, you can order it with more gochujang (traditional fermented hot chili paste). There is also Beef Jjamppong option which is a non-spicy variation without the seafood mix. The Tangsuyuk, $15.45 is their third signature dish and only meat choice. It is a delicious fried pork dish with cabbage, sliced carrots, onion, and wood ear mushrooms. The tangy sweet and sour sauce was on point, not too sweet or heavy. It is best to share this dish while ordering your noodle dish for a more satisfying dining experience. I also recommend the Gunmandu (pan-fried dumplings), and Bokkeummyeon (stir-fried noodles). The noodles are perfectly cooked. For the most part, they get my approval for the variety and consistency of dishes this restaurant chain is known for. I feel the jjajangmyeon is better than the jjampong at this location. The latter lacks some of the umami flavor and richness in its broth. But it is still a delicious noodle soup dish that I will order again here. If there are any complaints, it is that there is no water jar and dispenser like all other locations I have been to in Southern California. You can purchase bottled water, along with soda and soju. The free water, however, should be available and plentiful. You will want to drink a lot of it if you try the jjampong and any other spicy dish here. All said, welcome to Fresno Paik's Noodle! We needed a Korean noodle house, so they are a great addition to the community and growing food scene. read more

Service : Fast and friendly. Everything was made fresh. We ordered a lot of dishes and they did phenomenal fast. (5/5) Ambience : It's pretty quiet in there. There's quite a few customers there but it's very quiet. Interior : It's a really small shop with modern brick wall. Food : In my opinion. This place is decent. Everything is ok. It's not something that would amaze you. This place was well known for their Janjangmyeon and I definitely do agree. WATER CUP: I just have to add the free water cup here because the water cup is too small. It's a self sever water dispenser on the side. It's just a little sad that the water cup is pretty small and you have to keep getting up to go grab water. Good side about the water is that the water its filter water from a dispenser. (2/5) JANJANGMYEON ($10.95) : this is my favorite dish out of all. This janjangmyeon is slightly different from every other places that i have had. This plate is a black bean paste noodle. Usually it taste nothing but just oily and slightly savory noodles. But this plate actually have a base taste to it. It seems like they add some chicken bouillion. Note : Make sure to not forget to eat the black bean paste. I has a lot of yummy pork. (5/5) SPICY CHICKEN ($19.95) : a hint of garlicy sichuan sweet and spicy chicken. Out of all othe dishes that I ordered I rate this as my second best plate. It's ok. (4/5) VEGETABLE FRIED RICE ($13.95) : taste very simple like fried eggs fried rice. (4/5) SWEET AND SOUR PORK ($15.95) : nothing special about this dish. This dish came with the sauce on the side. The pork is breaded with no seasoning so its pretty plain with out the sauce. The sauce taste a little stale sweet vinegary....(4/5) FRIED DUMPLINGS 8pc ($8.49) : taste like pork eggrolls fillings. (4/5) Jjampong Noodle ($13.95) : it taste ok/good. But with my asian taste bud, I expect a little bit more of sea food taste. Maybe trow some seaweed in it will fix it. This dish is there but not quite. It's more on a little oily/spicy side. (4/5) Overall: I definitely do recommend getting the Janjangmyeon. Everything else is also good but for my taste bud I expect a little bit more. So do definitely check out this place. read more

First time trying this place out, knew it was a big famous Korean franchise. Heard good reviews for this place. Walked in earlier today and the place was nice and clean. Ordered the Stir-fried Jajangmyeon which was very good and had a nice wok hei flavor. Sauce was very flavorful and umami with a little spicy kick. Pricing is on the higher side but portions are big so it's worth it. Owner is very responsive with any concerns and made right by me. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Soft opening I think. Not full menu (only a handful of things available). Service was good. Not much ambiance. Not enough tables & it was way too warm to eat there. If you're not familiar, there's a Korean Netflix cooking competition show called Culinary Class Wars. There are big name chefs & really good chefs who have restaurants. One of the judges is Paik Jun-Won. He does Korean-Chinese cuisine. This is his noodle joint. ORDER: Gunmandu: Exactly how they should taste & nicely moist. Jjamppong: Super spicy, good noodles tho not much pork or seafood. Jajangmyeon: For me, good noodles but a bit too sweet, tho my bestie loved it. Sweet & Sour Pork: Unlike many Chinese versions, the sauce wasn't cloyingly sweet & fake w/an indescribable taste. Pretty good! Will definitely come back once they have a full menu. read more

Meal hit home, very nice bowl of black bean noodles. Korean food isn't as popular in the valley, nice to see it have some spotlight now. The meal Took some time to make because they made it fresh. Dumplings were also crispy and perfect. Generous serving size, and nice quality chopsticks is always a plus for me. Really love the side radish they offer too. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Clean area to eat, small dining area but still friendly and very akin to small Korean restaurants. Will happily be coming back again. read more

Paik's Noodle - Jajangmyun! - Korean Near Me - Fresno, California

Visited with some friends and food was really good! Service was great as well.. friendly staff and fast service. The one thing that lowers my rating is the fact that it does not mention anywhere on the menu that their japchae and soup comes with seafood. My partner isn't the biggest seafood fan and found himself having to pick out so many pieces of seafood that it was pretty much impossible for him to eat. This could be a huge downfall for this spot if someone with a seafood allergy stumbles upon this issue. I would highly recommend that they update their menus to acknowledge the items that contain seafood in it (unless it is and I missed it, then I can take accountability for my mistake). read more

First time trying out this new business establishment. The area was in a pretty chill location, in a shopping plaza next to Gracie's Jujitsu. Upon entering the business we were greeted by the employees right away. You could dine in or order for take outs. Also seating is very limited if you decide to dine in. First come first serve basis. The ambience was pretty chill as well. Korean/ K-Pop music was playing in the background. Service was prompt and quick! The Cashier attendant was helpful with recommendations on popular dishes. We ordered few dishes to try from their menu. First dish was Jajangmyeon noodle dish. It contains Noodles with a savory black bean sauce, with pork and vegetable. Second dish was Jajange Rice dish. It comes with rice, fried omelette with shrimp and also Jajang sauce . It also includes a small bowl of Jjampong soup. Third dish was Spicy Chicken plate. Basically deep fried chicken in their spicy and sour sauce. All of the food we ordered was plenty for a party of two. They are generous on their portion. We definitely had left overs that we'll eat for the following day. We will definitely make this another stop for us to come back and try again from other dishes from their menu. No Complaints with their customer service. Overall we had a pleasant experience dining in and trying their dishes. We recommend for anyone to step out of their comfort zone and try Korean and Chinese cuisine. read more

Food: 4/5 Soon Tofu Jjampong: They have immensely improved their broth and seafood portions. Their spice is also perfect! I could even go a bit spicer, I love when my food makes me sweat profusely, it tastes better that way! This might possibly my favorite noodle dish at the moment. Always satisfying. And I am a sucker for some silky tofu. The only items I like from here are their jjampong and jjajang noodles/rice. I did not enjoy the dumplings, crispy pork, or spicy shrimp (maybe chili shrimp?). But that's probably personal preference! Service: 5/5 Quick and friendly. Always greeted with a smile! Ambiance: 5/5 It was nice and clean with ample seating. Very casual. read more

This is a cute little restaurant that definitely helps bridge the gap in diversity in the Central Valley. I was excited to try the food because it is associated with chef Paik Jong-Won. I ordered the jjajangmyeon and it was just ok. Not great, not bad, just ok. I think the staff may still need more training to adequately make food to Chef Won's expectations. The noodles were overcooked and not as chewy as they should be, and the sauce was a bit runny so it didn't cling to the noodles as well as I would have preferred. My friend had the jjamppong, which she thought was very average as well. We have both tried food from their sister locations throughout Cali and in Seoul. This location has potential, but it's not there yet. read more

Paik's Noodle - Jjajangmyeon - Korean Near Me - Fresno, California

Paik's Noodle - Fresno 4/5 Stars Came here with the family and left very full and mostly impressed! The Sweet and Sour Chicken was surprisingly unique. The batter had this super airy crunch--almost like it was made with rice flour and something else that gave it a light crispiness you don't usually get. The sauce was perfectly balanced--sweet and tangy but not overwhelming or syrupy. Definitely a fun twist on a classic dish. The real highlight was the Black Bean Noodles (Jjajangmyeon) with extra meat. The noodles were springy and chewy in the best way, and the black bean sauce was rich with umami and depth. We were scraping the bowl on this one. My son loved the Vegetable Stir-Fried Noodles, which used the same great springy noodles and had tons of flavor. We were impressed with how much taste they packed in for a simple veggie dish. One small letdown: the meat options were limited to pork, chicken, and shrimp. We were hoping for some beef dishes to mix things up. Still, the meat dish we had (sweet and sour chicken) was one of the standouts of the meal. Also, a bit of a bummer that Japchae couldn't be ordered as a side--those noodles were delicious and we definitely wanted more of them! For those curious about the setup: You order at the counter first, then find your seat. Once your food is ready, you pick it up at the front and return your plates when you're done. It's more casual/self-serve, but it works for the vibe. Overall, a solid noodle spot in town. We'll be back--probably for more black bean noodles and to see if Japchae gets its own spotlight on the menu! read more

10/09/24 Hot & New! Must try! They do not have A lot of food options yet. No chicken or tofu. I asked the worker what would be best that didn't have pork and she recommended the Beef Jjampppong. Definitely, different foods. Something to try. Ordered what was recommended. Paid for it and waited for it to be ready #5. Small inside, but clean and music iplaying. Plenty of seating. A bit of a wait, but they were busy. Order called a little later and handed over with a smile. =) Lunchtime! It was hot and ready to put together and have. I was already disappointed that they only have beef and pork and now, more. The beef is very much overcooked! Lots of chewing. The noodles were good. A couple things in it were questionable. I tried and not really good, but that's me. Fresh carrots & lettuce in it. Very plain too. Definitely needs seasoning on the beef or something to make it flavorful. There is a lot in one order. Plenty of leftovers. At least the noodles & service were good. I definitely need to go back even they have more options. A lot on the menu said, "Coming Soon!" Hopefully it will & make it better! read more

The only food that was good was the wings, don't tip because you'll end up doing all your own clean up.

I got the jajangmyeon the first time I came, and was really impressed, it was very flavorful. The second time, I got the sweet and sour chicken since I was craving something more meaty. It was so juicy, and the sauce was on the side, which I liked, so it wouldn't lose its crunch. My partner was interested in seeing what elements of the food had Chinese fusion. But he said it was more Korean-heavy, which he didn't mind. But everything is such a good price for a hot meal. This will be one of our go-to spots. The staff were very nice and checked in on us. read more
