Consistently good food with solid service and priced right, whether for take out or eating in. Most recently we got the chajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and tangsuyook (sweet and sour pork). The noodles are hearty and firm with the oh so savory sauce. The S&S pork is so well done-- the battered pork strings are perfectly fried and somehow not greasy and the sauce is sweet and tangy. The combo of the two is excellent! Friendly service with a no nonsense dining area.
Consistent restaurant to get Jjajangmyun, Jjamppng, and Tangsuyuk. I wouldn't say they are the best in the Chicagoland area but as a franchise, their quality is consistent. The pricing keeps going up, thus minus 1 star.
My go-to place for a jjajangmyun fix. Never disappoints and they are fast. My nephew had the jjajangbop which has a huge fried egg on top of the rice like omrice. They also give you a jjampong broth to wash down the rice. Portion size is bigger than other restaurants I've been to. Also needed to satisfy my fried mandu craving. Perfectly fried and crispy. Service is fast and courteous. Conversation friendly and roomy seating.
Everything was delicious and authentic.. Definitely going back and recommend to anyone like Korean spicy food.
I've been a big fan of Chef Paik for a long time and have heard of this chain restaurant that he has. I'm so glad I finally came in to try it because it's one of my favorites now! Upon arriving, you usually pick where you sit and they'll come over with menus and water. The eating utensils are hidden in a built-in shelf on the side of the table which was cool. Since it was our first time, we went with the staples: Tangsuyuk, Jajangmyeon and Jjamppong. The Tangsuyuk which was SO delicious. I loved how crispy it was and that you could choose to either douse your pork in the sauce or dip it. We dipped it and it was amazing. The sauce was a perfect combination of sour and sweet - a must-try! For the Jajangmyeon and Jjamppong, they had 3 different version available on the menu, but I couldn't find an English translation to what it was so I asked for help - I believe some of the options are getting the dish as is or adding additional protein. For the Jajangmyeon, we got the version with added pork meat. It was incredible! The flavor was more on par with the Chinese version of this noodle dish. The side of onion and radish was also included! For the Jjamppong, we got it as is and it was very flavorful and spicy! The noodles were nice and bouncy and the amount of seafood was perfect. It was so delicious on the cold day that we stopped by. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and the food. I look forward to coming back to try more dishes!
We came here because SGD said their kitchen was closed. We thought it was just ok. We ordered the dumplings but it didn't look like the picture on the wall. It was decent - I prefer the ones next door at SGD. The mayo shrimp was nice and large and it was a bit sweet. The spicy shrimp was spicy which was nice. The best dish was probably the noodles with beef and veggies. I love the cabbage and didn't eat the beef. The noodles were good. The broth was flavorful. It was hard to get someone to help give us a fork or a bowl but other than that, it was fine.
Korean-Chinese food is a lot sweeter than most cuisines. The Tangsuyuk is a must. Pour the sauce over for more Chinese style sweet and sour pork (slightly soggy), or dip it for more Korean style. We got kkanpunggi and tbh I thought it was a waste of money. The jaengban jajang feeds 2 people and is excellent. I would get it over the regular jajangmyeon if you can. Also can't go wrong with the jjanppong.
We have been coming to dine in often but I see that I have not updated my last review. Food is consistently good, sometimes breading is overpowering on fried meat, but overall all food is good here.
We have been getting paiks recently but for take out. For take out if you get the black bean noodles they will put your sauce on the side. Portions are still large as if you ate in stores! The sweet and sour pork holds well even after a 15 minute drive back. Anything that has sauces on it will be soggy but still delicious!
We got 1. Jajangmyeon 2. Tangsuyuk - sweet and sour pork 3. Chili Saeu - fried shrimp in spicy chili sauces 4. Gochu Jjamppong - spicy seafood noodle soup with spicy chili peppers I love the combination of fried meats with these Korean noodles dishes. I'm normally not the biggest fan of sweet and sour sauces but these were executed so well. Perfectly cooked and crispy pork/shrimp covered in tasty sauces. Flavor and texture of the noodle dishes were top notch. Portion sizes of everything was good. Service was excellent. We had dress clothes on and they lent us aprons. Lots of seating inside but not cramped together. I'll definitely come back.
Checked out this place in Glenview after seeing it pop up when looking for Asian. It's a place that seemingly has lots of items featuring noodles. Paik's Noodle is a Korean restaurant. Has lots of items with noodles but has a problem about it. There's not much of choices for vegetarians as far as proteins. Has a pretty hectic atmosphere. If they're working so hard, why does it take so long to get the food? They're lacking in choices for vegetarians. It's $12 for Vegetable Fried Rice. The only thing basically acceptable, and that even needed modifications though. Make it vegan without eggs. The menu only has noodle items with chicken or seafood. It bites. Would have liked to try some of the noodles. Fuck. The others said their stuff was okay. Kind of greasy. This is like hit and miss. Being my choice the next time I probably wouldn't go here. It has a menu of only a few noodle entrees and not much choices for things such as proteins. There's almost nothing for vegans and vegetarians.
6pm on Labor Day weekend Sunday. It was busy. Had to wait a while to be seated but not too terrible. Maybe about ten minutes wait. Once seated, everything was fast. Most of the other tables were Korean. Server took our order in Korean. Not sure if they can take orders in English. But the service was good and fast even when they were so busy. Had to refill pickled radish and onions one time and it was not difficult to get one of the servers attention. We got tangsuyuk (fried pork with sweet and sour sauce) and jjajangmyeon (black bean sauce noodle) to share. Portions are huge to share so don't order too much! The fried pork was really crispy but also chewy, with sweet rice breading overing the pork. Black bean sauce noodle was really good as well, just like the ones I used to have when living in Korea.
really loved this place! they let us choose where to get seated and we tried three dishes. the utensils were self served in a drawer on a table. the jajangmyeon was well flavored and the hoodles had a nice bounciness to them. really liked that they gave us sauce on the side for the tangsuyuk so the pork could stay crispy. the shrimp tasted similar to a honey walnut sauce which was nice and liked the cabbage underneath for some crunch. they both were battered perfectly and crispy which i've never had specifically this kind before. service was good and overall would come back occasionally for a casual meal!
First things first, this is a "Korean Chinese" restaurant, like those places you've probably seen in Korean dramas lol. This is not purely Chinese food, so if you're craving orange chicken or egg foo young (which I often do), this is not that place. However, Paik's Noodle is hands down the best jajangmyun (noodles with black bean sauce) and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) you can get in Chicagoland. The jajang noodles are thick and nicely chewy, and the sauce is on point. Their tangsuyuk is made with the freshest tasting pork and perfectly crisp yet chewy batter. Service is friendly and quick, tables are plentiful, and parking in the lot is fairly easy at weekend lunch (though I can see the parking lot getting crowded during peak hours). The ambience isn't anything fancy - more of a fast casual eatery rather than a full-on restaurant (they take your order at the table and bring your food to you, but you pay at the register after you eat). The reason I'm giving them 4 instead of 5 starts is consistency. I've been here twice now. The 1st time was a Sunday (late afternoon), and the food was phenomenal. The 2nd time was a Saturday (lunchtime, restaurant was busier), and the jajangmyun tasted slightly watery which was disappointing. Also, the tangsuyuk had a bit too much batter and the pork didn't taste as exceptionally fresh at it did during my 1st visit. I really hope they were just having an off day, because I'm so excited to have finally found really good jajangmyun in Chicago!! Pro tip: Dip the tangsuyuk in the sweet and sour sauce to keep it crisp! And never wear white or anything light colored to a jajangmyun restaurant =) read more
Food: I'm already craving the jaengban jjajangmyeon again! It was the largest dish we ordered, the last one to arrive, but also the first one we finished. We asked for extra spicy, and it was fantastic--flavorful, satisfying, and cooked stir-fry style with that unmistakable "wok fire" aroma. If you're a spicy food lover, this is a must-try! I'd definitely choose this again next time... and probably every time. The tangsuyuk, however, was a bit disappointing this visit. It wasn't as crunchy on the outside or sticky on the inside as before. Even though it was hot, the texture tasted a little old. As for the jjamppong, we never seem to finish it, so next time we'll probably skip it and go straight for the jaengban. Service: The servers were clearly very busy, but they still took good care of us. Ambiance: Clean, clear, and comfortable! The food photos on the walls all look super tempting. read more

Our go to spot in the plaza was closed for the holidays, so we stumbled on into Paik's and honestly it was surprisingly good. Menu is limited to just a few items, but with focus on so little it's done well! Shared the beef jjamppong (beef broth soup w/ veggies, beef, & shrimp), the jaengban-jjajang (black bean sauce noodles pan fried with shrimp, squid, pork, veggies), and an order of the mayo seau (jumbo shrimp battered and topped w/ lemon mayonnaise sauce). Honestly all of it was equally delicious. The kiddo enjoy the black bean noodles very much and probably could've had an entire order to himself. Service is pretty minimal and it's a fairly casual spot. Wait to be seated, someone will take your order, and pay up at the register when you're done. The only thing to caution is that take home boxes cost $1 per container, so if you're like me you'll probably just sacrifice yourself and take it all home in the tummy to avoid paying for that take home container. That's all I got on this one. 'Til next time, cheers! read more
Food is consistently good. Type of dumplings have changed. They were rectangular shape but now it's a common dumplings you can get it at a market. TangSuYuk was good. At times it's less meaty but today was good. I noticed the price has gone up in general. Service is always good. Staff is always attentive and food comes out quick. read more

This place gives of a food court vibe inside. There is parking out front in the parking lot, so it's quite convenient. I have to say that the Jajangmyeon here is super good! They could definitely put more meat chunks in it and not so much onions thought! I am not a fan of onions, so I will try to pick some out. The dumplings were ordered were ok. The outside was a little too crispy for my liking. Overall, if other places have a long wait, come here! I don't think I've seen this place packed, and their food comes out super quick! read more

Still thinking about how delicious this meal was! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner that we ordered as takeout. First time here and didn't know what to order. When I asked the woman at the cashier some recommendations, she was incredibly nice and helpful. Ordered spicy wings and although not spicy the little bit of sauce on them was flavorful. The noodles were incredible with lots of pieces of meat and served up for 2. It was an extremely big portion. Can't wait to order from here again! read more

After driving for 5 hours from St. Louis, we were starving and seeking some really good food. My parents wanted some jjajangmyun and jjamppong, so we stopped by Paik's Noodle before heading to the supermarket. We ordered Jjajangmyun, Jjamppong, and mayo shrimp! Their mayo shrimp is my favorite! All their fried foods are good! The jjajangmyun was good, but I thought the jjamppong was pretty simple and bland. However, it was less greasy than other jjamppong's I've had, so some people may like it that way. For it being a popular Korean food chain, I was surprised and disappointed that they didn't have jjam-jjamyun, which are attached half bowls, so we can have both dishes. Every Korean knows when you eat Jjajangmyun, you're going to want the Jjamppong soup or Tangsuyook. read more
The service was great, as soon as we sat down (got to choose where we sat) they brought us water and the menus. The food is mostly noodles with some other dishes, but I think the showstoppers are the noodles. We got a jampong and tangsuyuk and the jampong was huge! We shared the noodle soup and it was plenty of good. The jampong had sooooo much seafood and veggies and the noodles were perfectly chewy. The broth was delicious and one of the better jampongs I've had. I thought the tangsuyuk was okay, pretty battery and felt like there wasn't much meat. Plus, it felt like the oil wasn't properly drained out. All of this was under $30, so not only is it delicious, but affordable as well! read more

can i just say: i've been craving the mayo shrimp for literal YEARS. the few times i came to Paik's, they were either always sold out or something, so i never ended up eating it.. UNTIL i came to the Glenview location (didn't even know they had one near Chicago), and my years-long craving was satisfied!! the combination of the spicy jjamppong & the sweet, creamy shrimp = perfection. the tangsuyuk was super crispy and delicious too!! what we ordered: - jjamppong (spicy Chinese-style Korean noodle soup) - tangsuyuk (fried pork with sweet and sour sauce) - mayo saeu (jumbo shrimp with lemon mayo sauce) - kloud beer read more

The show stopper for me was the dumplings and spicy noodles. All of the food was delicious and authentic. The waitress was very nice and explained the menu items. She also went over the most popular dishes. This restaurant is great for a family outing. Definitely a popular restaurant, by time we were done eating, they had a line of people waiting to be seated. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more
A small but cute food restaurant located in Glenview in a small plaza. I've told that their noodles are very authentic Korean noodles and it turned out to be true! We went for food on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of people but still got seats. We had the spicy seafood soup, the jjangjaemian and the japeonh noodle. The spicy noodles were truly spicy and the broth was very umani with squid and mussels. All dishes were packed with veggies which I liked! The noodles were chewy and tasty. They also have a variety of appetizers, but glad we didn't order it since the portion of the noodles are already really big!! We were so full and delighted after this meal, and would like to come back to try other items on the menu next time. read more
Chicken wings had a nice flavor to it. It was a little too soggy for my taste. Overall not the best Korean fried chicken I ever had, but was a good appetizer for the main dish. 7.1/10 This was the noodle dish that served two. I been craving jjajangmyeon and this definitely hit the spot! Packed full of onion, noodles, and cabbages. It had an okay amount of seafood. I don't have too many other places to compare jjajangmyeon to, but would come back for it again. 7.5/10 read more
It's hard to stand out when there are many Asian restaurants in the same strip mall but Paik's Noodle is a solid choice. We went here on a Saturday night and it was pretty crowded. We took the last table available. We were greeted warmly pretty quickly. We ordered the jjamppong (spicy seafood noodles) and the bokkeummyeon (stir-fried noodles with shrimp, pork, green beans, and assorted vegetables). The bomkeummyeon was delicious. It had a great broth and the warmth did the trick on a cold night. The jjamppong was too spicy for me but my husband enjoyed it. They have a smaller menu, but I like it because they are very good at what they do. It also takes less time to choose when your options are limited. I highly recommend Paiks Noodles for great authentic Asian Noodles. read more

I was craving some jajangmyeon so my friends and I planned to have lunch here. We ordered jajangmyeon, jjamppong, jaengban jajang and tangsuyuk. Portion size were huge. I loved it! The shining star of the whole meal was the jaengban jajang. It was so smokey and flavorful that it totally outshined the jajangmyeon. Just writing about this has me salivating. My friend got the jjamppong but I was never really a fan of it so I didn't try it. I heard it wasn't as spicy as she thought it'd be. The tangsuyuk was delicious and I was glad the sauce was on the side. I'd totally come back for the jaengban jajang. It's a pretty large serving - I believe it serves 2. A couple of tips to note - when you're done eating, you pay at the counter. If you tell the lady where you were sitting, she will know your order. Also, be careful how much you order. Remember the serving size is large. This place charges extra if you want to box up leftovers. read more
