Tried out Paik's Noodle and ordered the Jjajangmyeon and Sweet & Sour Pork. The jjajangmyeon was solid -- noodles had a nice chew, and the black bean sauce was savory and satisfying, though not the best I've ever had but still very solid. Next, the sweet & sour pork: the batter reminded me more of the Chinese-style version, with a mix of chewy and crispy textures. The flavor was decent, not mind-blowing, but still enjoyable. A nice bonus -- if you spend over around $30, they give you free dumplings! These were a highlight: pan-fried perfectly with a crunchy exterior and juicy filling. Service was excellent. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really elevated the whole experience. Prices are fair for the portion sizes, and it's a good casual spot if you're craving Korean-Chinese comfort food in Houston's K-Town.
Overall, I came here mainly bc of culinary class wars and I was the only one who liked it out of my brother and mom lol. 3 stars bc I was the only one who liked my meal and price does not match quality. Judge Paik I am disappointed :( You order at the kiosk and wait for your number to be called. We got the seafood jajangmyeon (no pork), chilli jjampong, and 5pc soy garlic chicken wing. There was enough to take home for 1-2 more meals for 1 person. Seafood jajangmyeon: i recently dont eat meat so i was so excited to see a seafood version of one of my favorite noodles. Flavor wise, i thought it was great (it has some spice in it), but my mom and brother thought it was too sweet (I think they are more used to the salty Chinese version). Quality wise, did they use the cheapest frozen seafood they could find?? Super small pieces of shrimp and thin pieces of squid/octopus Chilli jjampong: it is a bit more spicy than regular jjampong (which some of us liked). However, I'm not sure if I got the wrong order because our jjampong had pork in it and we did not order the meat one. There was also just 1 mussel, no shrimp, and barely any squid/octopus. The pork was also just really sad small pieces anyways (I just picked them out) Soy garlic wings: I didn't try the chicken but the sauce was waaayyy sweeter than I've ever had. The size of the wings and amount of fries they gave were also comical. It don't think it was even a handful of fries, maybe a child's handful You have to bust your own table, get your own utensils/etc, so maybe higher prices could be because of that. there were only a few other people there during lunch on Sunday
중화 요리 (Junghwa Yori) Met my two favorite guys from work for a reunion lunch on Thursday at 11:40 am and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is casual and very clean. There is a kiosk that you order from and then find a table. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a little section that has silverware, bowls, napkins, etc. We ordered chicken tangsuyuk, gunmandu, beef jjamppong, and jajangmeyeon. Chicken tangsuyuk (4/5) - the chicken was fried crispy on the outside but tender and moist on the inside and the sauce was nice, not too sweet or sour - you can pour it or dip it, we did the dip. Gunmandu (3/5) - this is a personal preference, I'm just not into hard fried dumplings. The filling was nice and it was crunchy. Beef jjampong (3.7/5) - filled with seafood, the noodles were chewy and cooked perfectly, the soup had a kick but to me not overly spicy but my friend said it was spicy, it was very flavorful Jajangmeyeon (5/5) - I've been wanting to try this for a while and was pleasantly surprised; the noodles were chewy and paired perfectly with the sauce; my favorite There was a stream of traffic as well as pick ups. I will def be back to try a few more things and to get a jajangmeyeon to myself. Def worth a try. Keep supporting Asian businesses.
A Solid spot for quick, authentic Korean noodles/dishes. Great for a casual lunch. Mostly Korean patrons, which is always good sign when it comes to authenticity. We tried out a few noodle dishes, I liked the stir-fry noodles and the seafood jjamppongbap. The portions were very generous, and each dish came with a small side of pickled daikon. ample parking and seating inside, ordering via the tablet was quick and easy. You can pickup your utensils/bowls/water at the self-serving stations and they'll bring the food to you. Prices have crept up in the last few years with inflation but still worth it for the quality and portion sizes. Looking forward to trying out the sweet and sour pork next time!
When I think of the BEST jjajangmyeon in Houston, I think of Paik's Noodle. This location in spring branch is their original, and I grew up coming here for lunch every sunday after church. 1) Jjajangmyeon: My brother loves getting this one. It is sweet and a bit soupy from all the sauce. The noodles are chewy and bouncy, and get coated in the sauce nicely. There is a good amount of meat that comes with it too! The flavors are great. 2) Jaengbanjjajang: This is my go-to and personal favorite noodle dish to get here. It is similar to their original jjangmyeon except that it is less soupy and has a bit of spice. The spiciness adds a nice kick balancing the sweet and savory flavors. There are also lots of different mix ins like squid, shrimp, beef, and vegetables! The play on textures and contrasting flavors is why I love this dish 3) Spicy Chicken Wings (Yangnyeom): For not being a chicken wing restaurant, Paiks sure does serve some banger wings. Juicy big wings with a slight crisp on the outside. The sauce is amazing. It is that sweet and spicy yangnyeom korean fried chicken sauce. 4) Tangsuyuk: I never visit Paisk without ordering their tangsuyuk. Perfectly fried with a great chew. The pork is not too porky or gamey which is nice, and the sauce is a sticky sweet and sour sauce. 4) Gunmandoo: Their panfried dumplings are quite nice too! I haven't gotten them in a while, but they were solid Overall, I don't think there was a single dish I disliked here at Paiks. Service is standard, not too fast not too slow. The ambiance is not really one for dates or anything. It's super casual with metal chairs. It can get a bit cold. There are restrooms and water dispensers. They used to have the self serve yellow radish but now they just serve it with your meal. You have to clean your table yourself and put all the dish trays in the back
The food was great. All of their noodles options were tasty. I really liked the chicken and the sweet/sour pork. There is a machine you order from when you go through the doors and then you just pick up your order when it's called. There is water and utensils you can grab and an area to return your trays/plates
Nestled along Long Point and Blalock on a busy intersection, inside a shopping/food strip in the very corner, Paik's Noodle provides some great quality Korean food! Came here for a group dinner on a Sunday night, and we all had an enjoyable time with some great food! The only thing that I've had (which is what they're known for) if the Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles). And wow, they were sooooooo good! Perfect noodle portion, great balanced black bean sauce with the minced pork and onions, some green peas for color and I enjoyed every bite of it! Some other dishes our group tried was the sweet and sour pork (which was crispy and hot), and the stir fried jjajangmyeon, they all tasted delicious! In terms of the ambiance, it's very simple inside and very restaurant-like. There is plenty of parking that can accommodate everyone! Very good overall!
Solid restaurant for black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon). The regular jjajangmyeon is a must-have, and pairing it with some sweet and sour pork (tang soo yook) is like a taste of heaven. The restaurant is decently spacious. Parking might be a bit tight at times as it shares a lot with other small businesses. It's nothing fancy so maybe not the best if you're trying to impress your date with fine dining. Also note that it's a self-service restaurant. You get your own water and you bus your own tray and trash. You are still expected to tip when paying up front for your food though, so keep that in mind and just do it. Lastly, the prices have definitely gone up since the last time I was here. Normal jjajangmyeon is now over $10. I suggest you try it and judge the flavor for yourself. I love it.
I ordered Paik's via UberEats one night cause my friend told me their Jajangmyeon tasted exactly like the one she had during her travels to Korean. I've never had jajangmyeon before so was curious after seeing it in a lot of k dramas! Well let me tell you... it is delicious! The noodles and the black bean sauce were sent in separate containers - the noodles were cooked perfectly Al dente, but was a bit clumped together cause that's just what noodles do when packaged up and not fresh.. but that's just because I ordered it to-go. The sauce was flavorful.. full of onions, some pork, and maybe some other veggies?! It was perfectly flavored, not too salty even though it was saucy. Tasted like a nice gravy over the noodles. I devoured the whole thing, to say the least, and wanted more the following day. I'm still thinking about it as I type this up today. Maybe it's worth the drive to pick some up! I also ordered the chicken wings and the fried dumplings - dumplings were deep fried and crispy. Great flavors. Wings were sweet. But the standout dish was this jajangmyeon. Believe me when I say I'll have this dish again soon! Well done Paik's!
We were planning on watching Season 2 of Squid Games and what better food to watch it with than good old Korean noodles. We stopped by on a weeknight to order our food to go. You walk in and order from a human or a machine. There's plenty of seating if you're dining in and it's also cool that you can see them in the back making your food. We got the stir fried jajangmyeon and the beef jjamppong to go. Both were delicious and filling. Probably the best jajangmyeon I've had in town. The portions were also big, i just wish there was a little bit more protein on both dishes. This place is definitely a place we'd go back again. Y'all should check them out! They also have a location in Chinatown.
Look no more for some of the best Korean-Chinese food in town, from a chain no less! I got the chili jajangmyeon, and WOW it is spicy. The chilies are almost like Thai chili, they will straight up kick your ass. Black bean sauce and pork, name a better combo! It's such a comfort food, highly recommend it to everyone who's never had it (you don't need to get it spicy). There's plenty of other dishes to get as well. My girlfriend and I split the tangsuyuk, which is the sweet and sour pork. So damn good, and you can see the ingredients that go into it, way better than those from Panda Express and similar places. If you don't like it too saucy, you can request to have it on the side. They just opened one in Chinatown, we're not just limited to Spring Branch now!
Wow! So glad I finally stopped by here for lunch. (I mistakenly thought they were only open for lunch until 3 PM. However they do have dinner hours from 5 PM to 9 PM too!) Order at the kiosk just like you do in many restaurants in South Korea. If you know, Chef Paik - then you know his passion for jjanjangmyeon. This is a simple, tasty menu featuring popular Korean Chinese restaurant dishes. I opted for the Jjajangbap -- the alternative rice based entree. For $15.95 it is served with a hot, spicy bowl of Jjampong soup too. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, and I also ordered four pieces of fried Mandu. Which were also good but really not needed. I had more than enough to eat. Don't let the exterior of the somewhat sketchy strip center fool you. This place had plenty of local residents and business people coming in for lunch while I was there. The service was very friendly. And the portions were substantial. Next time Tangsuyuk!
I'm always on the hunt for some quality, spicy, rich jjamppong. Paik's Noodle in Cypress seals the deal... even more than the Spring Branch location. This spot is located in a small plaza next to a busy trampoline park, and inside, it's very clean and well maintained. Each table has a menu of the offerings WITH pictures (so you don't have to scour Yelp like I usually do for pictures....). The waitresses come by to help answer any questions if you have any. To be honest, I think the menu tablets are a bit overkill since they have a small enough menu to look though, but it is good for people who aren't familiar with Korean food or the establishment itself. What's nice is you can get many of the dishes with noodles or rice as your starch of choice. 10/10 Jjamppong - the broth is flavorful, seafood rich, and noodles perfectly bouncy. SOO good. I couldn't finish the whole bowl, so it's easily shareable. 7/10 Chicken Fried Rice. It's expensive for the amount of rice you get. Flavor is good, but there's not a lot of chicken. Would suggest an appetizer as well if you want to stay full. This location does not have unlimited pickled radishes like the Spring Branch location. All in all, I really liked the food - I'll only really come back here for the noodle soup, but that's enough for me since they specialize in both the jjamppong and jiajangmyeon. read more
Fast with great service. We went to Paiks Noodle and tried the Jajang Rice which includes a plate of white rice topped with the Janjang sauce which is a semi sweet, savory like black bean sauce with an omelette and side of Jjamppong soup. The soup was hot and a little spicy with seafood like mussels. This is a great lunch option because service is so quick and it's super filling. The parking lot is huge so there's plenty of parking read more

Quick and efficient, this Paik's Noodles spot serves up all your favorite Korean-Chinese dishes with large portions and reasonable prices. Amongst the different locations I've been to, I do like how this is more of an order/serve so you don't need to commit to full sit down service and they have several long tables that are good for a large group. It's not as spacious as some spots I've seen but it's definitely not cramped either. The food here is also a bit better than some of the locations (particularly in the midwest) that I've been to. I'm stil not a giant fan of the Tangsuyuk texture, but the gunmandu is some of the crispiest I've had at any Korean restaurant. Their noodles here continue to shine with the solid mean Jajanmyeon, Jaengban Jajang, and Bokkeummyeon with great umami. But what really stands out for me is the Chili peppers Jjamppong. I feel this is prepared a bit more spicy than what I get near Chicagoland, but it's super flavorful and delicious. Overall, a great spot to stop by for some quick and delicious noodles and other tasty appetizers, and works well to meet casually with friends as well. read more

This location has plenty of parking and seating inside so even if you have a big party, it's not too bad. You go up to a kiosk to order and grab it from the counter once your number is called. My friends and I ordered the regular jajangmyon, meat jajangmyon, and sweet and sour pork. We got the sweet and sour pork first and wow, I am hooked. The texture of the fried pork is incredible. It has that perfect crisp outside and juicy/tender meat inside. And even when you pour the sauce over the meat, it still retains the crispiness pretty well. I'm personally not crazy for the sweet and sour sauce but just the texture of the fried pork itself was so addicting. As for the jajangmyeon, as I stated earlier, we got both the original and the meat. I ordered the meat since I just wanted more protein and it was good but it's just the original with more meat on top lol. The meat itself was good though so no complaints. The jjangmyeun was fantastic though! The noodles are cooked perfectly where it's bouncy/chewy and the black bean sauce was sweet and savory. Overall, I'm happy that I finally got to try Paik's noodle and this restaurant positively contributes to the Korean Food scene in HTX. read more
It's our first time coming here. It's a small un assuming place. Self service and you can order at a kiosk. We order meat Jajangmyeon, Sweet and Sour pork, Chili Jjampong Rice. The order is quick. All order comes with a pickle raddish. The food is excellent especially the jajangmyeon. The chili jjampong is spicy hut nit burning spicy. The sweet and sour pork is aldo good, different take on it. read more
Paik's Noodle is a classic chain featuring Korean style Chinese cuisine! I've been going to this location for a while now, and it always hits those cravings. Right as you turn into the plaza, you'll see the tallest building with bright red signs nestled in a corner. There's plenty of parking spaces that are also super close to the restaurant, so it's easy to find a space. When you walk in, there's plenty of seats around the restaurant and a self serve kiosk to place your order. It's a lot more spacious than it looks from the outside, which is always a pleasant surprise! You also instantly smell a nice smokiness and earthiness when you walk in. Everywhere was super clean and maintained, and nothing felt overwhelming. Pretty much all of the service was self-serve. You place your order at the kiosk and wait for your number to get called to pick up your food. You can choose where to sit while you wait for your food. In the meantime, there's a corner with a water station, extra bowls and spoons, napkins, and even vinegar and spicy chili flakes to season your food! I ordered the jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) with tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) and it was delicious! The tangsuyuk had a lovely crisp and chew while still being juicy. Even when you dip it in the sauce, it still maintains its crispiness, and it's a perfect pair with the jjajangmyeon. The jjajangmyeon was super yummy and filling and was loaded with crunchy onions and cabbage. It was perfectly hot and steamy, and it had a nice smoky black bean flavor without being too greasy. They give you a large portion so it's perfect to eat when you're feeling extra hungry. Overall, paik's noodle is a delicious chain when you're craving some black bean noodles! It will always satisfy your tummy! read more

After watching The Culinary Class Wars we HAD to go try out Chef Paik Jong Won's restaurant and everything was so so delicious! I usually get jjajangmyeon but decided to try jjajangbap this time, and it was just as great!! Jjamppong soup was really good too and it wasn't too spicy. We love that the portions were realllyyy big. Parking is plenty and customer service was great! Jjajangbap: 4.5/5 Jjajangmyeon: 4/5 read more
Paik's noodle is 1) packed with flavor and 2) packed with people! They have the best jjajangmyeon, jjampong, and tangsuyuk. Their portions are pretty big, so you will always be walking out of there stuffed and satisfied. I shared a bowl of jjajangmyeon with a friend, and it was perfect. The sauce was immaculate. Noodles were thick and chewy. Tangsuyuk was terrific. Crispy and salty, pairing so well with the sweet sauce. Dip it rather than pouring it to keep the pork crispy. Their ordering system has changed a bit, with the self service kiosk being the primary method of ordering, unless you have cash. Makes things run quicker and smoother it seems. The layout consists of a bunch of long tables, so when it's super busy, you'll have to share a table with another party. Self serve water and yellow radish. read more

I am a sucker for the jajangmyeon here!! This was my second time here and it was just as good as I remembered. We also got the garlic soy wings again which were crunchy and flavorful, as well as the jjamppong. The jjamppong had a slight kick but definitely a bearable spice. It was topped with mussels, squid and veggies like cabbage. Last time I came here, they left out the radish out by the utensils so that you could get as much or as little as you want to. This time they give you 1 small container of the radish per entree. It's a self-serve kind of restaurant. As soon as you walk in, to the far left you'll see the screen that you order and pay at. Then they'll call out your number when your food is ready. When you're all done, you'll bring your tray and dinnerware to the tray return area. It can be hard to find if you're driving by too fast. Located in a run down plaza in the middle in Houston's Koreatown (Longpoint!). It's definitely not a fancy establishment but I don't mind! It has everything I need. Delicious food at moderate prices! read more

I got the beef jjaamppong and it was delicious! I didn't realize it came with shrimp and it was not mentioned on the menu, so that is something to keep in mind. Next time, I will see if I can order with only beef. But the flavor of the broth and the veggies were delicious! Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and will be coming back. read more
I always get their noodle dish and soup. This time, i have to say the chili is a bit too much. The pepper overpowers the taste of the noodle and it left me with inescapable pain. Instead of enjoying the noodles, I ended up filling myself with water. read more

Paik's Noodle is a chain that specializes in its seafood noodle soup, jjampong, and black bean noodles, jajangmyeon. The restaurant is located next to the other local Korean restaurants and has a smaller menu. The seating is a bit small, and during the weekends, it can get packed and have limited seating. There is a self-serve station in corner for water, utensils, and yellow pickled radish. I ordered the jjampong, jajang bap, jajangmyeon, and 4 piece fried dumplings. All of my Korean friends rave about their jjampong, and I think it is definitely worth your money. You get a huge serving with tons of noodles and seafood, especially mussels, but my favorite is the jajangmyeon. It's one of the better ones I've had in Houston. It comes with plenty of sauce and coats the noodles well. The jajang bap is black bean sauce with rice and a fried egg on top. It also comes with a side of jjampong soup. The dumplings are also super delicious and perfectly seasoned. It's good even without sauce. Overall, I think Paik's noodle is a great place to get Korean comfort food on a budget! read more

got the jajangmyeon ($10.95), noodles with a savory black bean sauce, pork, and vegetables. i grew up eating the chinese version, which is more salty than sweet, so i prefer that. still, this is a good comfort food. i just wish there were more veggies and meat in the sauce--it was a little watery for me. this is a place where you order at the counter, and they call your number for pickup. they used to have unlimited pickled daikon, but now it comes in a small plastic container. read more
I've been here a few times and there food is made when you order it, so it tastes fresh every time. You can see your food being cooked through the large glass window. My favorite is the tangsuyuk (fried pork with sweet and sour sauce). The coating is lighter and crispier than the traditional Korean ones I have tried. Worth ordering. The JJajjang Myun (noodles with black bean sauce)is a solid choice. It is a bit sweeter than traditional ones, but still good. The beef JJampong is a good option for those that do not eat spicy food. My daughter likes it a lot. She loves noodles. It was pretty big. I shared it with her. The Spicy JJampong is good, but I can never eat a lot of it. I don't know why. It is also huge. Overall, a good causal place to eat. It is in a little sketchy plaza, but the inside is clean and semi modern. read more

HOUSTON, TX 77055 / KOREAN-CHINESE / MULTIPLE VISITS / LUNCH +The black bean noodles are pretty good, authentic flavors you would find in South Korea. They could add some pork meat to it though. +The gochu jjampong is legit . -The manager guy is curt and could definitely use some workshops/lessons in customer service. -Skip the deep fried dumplings. -The levels of MSG and sodium are off the charts, so be prepared for a migraine and nap later on. -They use strong cleaning chemicals right before opening time, so it may detract you from enjoying your meal. If so, go 45-60 minutes after it opens. If there is a better Korean-Chinese cuisine ("joong hwa yori") restaurant in the Houston area, please DM me. I want some noodles made in-house with some Incheon-style flavors. IYKYK~ read more

I've gotten into Korean food lately and one main dish that I wanted to try authentically was Jjajangmyeon, which is a black bean noodle dish. The black bean sauce consists of pork, vegetables, tons of onions and the black bean sauce itself. The noodles were chewy and delicious. Paik's Noodle was the perfect place to try that. They have a couple of other dishes that I wanted try called Jjamppong, which is a spicy soup. Jajang Bap is also another great dish. read more

Great jjajangmyun here. The price is respectable and the quality of food is superb. The food comes out quickly and there is a self-service station for radish and water. The ambience is similar to that of a cafeteria and the one critique I have are the odd hours (check before coming and it can get quite loud in here). However, the food is what brings me back. Cheers! read more
