    Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong, Sweet & Sour Pork
    Duyen T.

    Came back since I had a good experience and enjoyed the delicious food in the past but left disappointed this time. Ordered one Jajangmyeon and one of the Sweet and Sour Pork to share between 2 people. As last time, it was more than enough but that doesn't seem like the case no more. Though the Jajangmyeon was still delicious, but the portion has shrank and wasn't enough for two people. As for the Sweet and Sour Pork, it was a small piece of pork covered and fried in batter that was way too thick. Everything else is still the same, it's still self-service, the place is clean, and has lots of seating. Overall, the quality and the portion of food has gone down.

    Upon entering, we ordered at the kiosk and seated ourselves. Within a few minutes, our number was called and we picked up our food on a tray at the front. There is a self-serve area with plates, utensils, water, etc. The jajangmyeon with black bean sauce was delicious! Silky noodles and the sauce was not too overwhelming. We shared between 2 people, but we probably could have each ordered 1 separately to fill us up more. We also ordered the sweet & sour pork, which I didn't like as much. It's a shareable portion of fried pork, but ours wasn't crispy at all, it tasted almost stale and was difficult to chew. The sweet & sour sauce is served separately and was nicely sticky, but a little on the sweet side. When finished, you bring your tray back & clean up after yourselves. Overall noodle dishes were great, but would try a different protein next time!

    I really liked their noodle texture it was very qq - chewy and has a good bounce. I thought their jajangmyeon was good and also enjoyed their fried chicken. I thought their jjamppong was pretty good as well but enjoyed their jajangmyeon more. You order on the kiosk when you come in and pick it up at the front, then you return your tray to the front after, the inside has quite a few seating.

    You order yourself at the self-kiosk by the door and when your food is ready they'll call you up by your number to pick-up your food at the counter. The jjajangmyeon noodles have a nice bounce and the sauce is not too sweet and is savory at the same time. The sauce for the tangsuyuk comes on the side which I appreciate. There's plenty of seating available and is on a first come, first serve basis.

    Self service kiosks right at the front but if you like people interaction. Just slide on down to the counter. I haven't been to this location before but Paiks is my go to place for Korean-Chinese. Jjajangmyeon with the black bean sauce is my favorite along with the sweet and sour pork(tangsuyuk). Place was clean, albeit a little slow to get the food out.

    When you enter the door you are greeted my 2 self order machines. Pails has opted to have customers use their touch screen to thumb through different food items. I am a bit disappointed I didn't have the opportunity to speak with a waitress or staff member to ask for suggestions based on what I wan in the mood for. When your food is ready your order number is broadcasted for you to head to the counter and retrieve your dish(s). There is a visual aspect that is inviting in the restaurant. A cook is displayed behind the counter person with a huge wok on a stovetop. I want to let you know I'm not a fan of this system of announcing order numbers for people to retrieve their items. The speaker system is loud and it should be to ensure that everyone in the restaurant can hear their order. I just didn't like it. The fried dumplings were hot unfortunately they left flavor and taste. I should have ordered something else, but I thought their dumplings would be something special saying that it's a Korean and Chinese fusion restaurant. That being said the stir-fried Jajangmyean was tasty and full of flavor. I excluded the squid. I added a dash of Soy sauce for a tad more saltiness. The dish is enough food for 2 adults! I enjoyed the experience although it's not Benihana. It was a wonderful experience to see the cooks in the back with the large Woks preparing orders. I enjoyed my stir-fry it the most and so will go back to try other dishes. I know Asian Pacific Islander month is gone, but I wanted to pay one more homage to that month so that's why I chose this restaurant. I figured I could kill two birds with one stone metaphorically not physically. I recommend this restaurant, if you speak the language or are more savvy with your phones capabilities than I am, you might have an easier time figuring out many options. I rate this restaurant at 4.5 stars, but that's not an option with the rating system so I will give them a 4. GN3

    Pork Jajangmyeon

    This place has got some AMAZING jajangmyeon! I'd love to see Paik's get a bit more love! Their bellaire location, from what i've heard, is the most consistent in terms of quality. Food has amazing flavor, but it can feel a little heavy on the oil at times for me. Staff here is usually kind, but it's not so much a full sit-down restaurant experience, so they don't usually interact with guests outside of handling the order and calling out numbers. I would caution against opting for extra protein options -- they don't tend to put much extra meat when you do and I just don't think it's worth the extra cost.

    Sweet and sour chicken (sauce on the side)
    Leilani M.

    Honestly so yum! I got the stir fried seafood jajangmyeon and I enjoyed it though I felt that for the extra nearly $10 it's not quite worth as I'm pretty sure there were less than 5 small shrimps and a few peices of squid - personally not substantial enough to essentially pay the cost of another regular jajangmyeon bowl. We also ordered the sweet n sour chicken. So so crispy and yumm.. though it really reminded me of McDonalds chicken nuggs with their sweet n sour sauce. Overall I'd come back as the food was good and honestly pretty affordable.

    The only non-pork meat dish is this beef noodle soup.

    I have been waiting for Paik's to open at DiHo Square for quite awhile. Ever since the closing of Kuen's Noodle House, I got so excited when I saw Paik's Noodle sign hung on the building. After reading few reviews at other branches. I was dying to try Jajangmyeon. The pictures looked so yummy and fresh. Unfortunately, my experience was completely opposite for what I expected. I ordered take out. It came with a container of yellow pickled daikon, box of cold noodles with some peas as garnish and hot Jajangmyeon sauce (temperature hot). I was curious about the noodles. So, I asked the employee. He said the noodles was manufactured from somewhere else. Overall, I don't like the kiosk being far away from the counter. The employees didn't look friendly. I never felt welcomed. For what I paid for, I would rather eat at other restaurants. Oh, everything is pork. The only non-pork meat dish is Beef Jjamppong, otherwise it's vegetables.

    Leslie K.

    Kiosk ordering was simple. The serving size is enough for 2. We ordered the jajangmyeon, which felt light on the meat. I wish that we had ordered the meat jajangmyeon. The tangsuyuk was excellent fresh - very crispy and hot. Happy they opened a location in Chinatown.

    jajangmyeon & tangsuyuk & jjampong
    Allison L.

    Jajangmyeon is a must try! The noodles are so bouncy and savory. Definitely on the heavier end, but the sauce and pickled radish combo is delish. The jjampong was my least favorite just because it was a bit too salty for me and I couldn't taste much of a seafood flavor. The Tangsuyuk has to be eaten fresh! It was hot and crispy and the sauce was thick and sweet. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10. You order thru kiosk and pick up at the counter. It was super convenient and the restaurant has lots of seating.

    Anthea R.

    Self service counter. Pretty pricey, and set up looks like a narrow Asian grocery food court. The fried chicken was really tasty. The jajangmyeon with extra meat was good, but not the best I've ever had. The beef soup noodle was gentle with a slight kick of fresh Serrano peppers. The major downside was that the menu was limited to mostly pork heavy dishes with seafood, and beef here and there. The chicken option was mostly the wings. Would come back to get more wings.

    A very jam packed day today going around the city and crossing off my checklist. Towards the end of my errands for today, I was feeling hungry. I decided to visit one place from a Instagram post. I luckily remembered it and crossed my mind today. I had to try Paiks Noodle. What I recall, there is a specialty dish that I am a fan of that really swayed me to stop in. I had to try the black bean noodles (jajangmyeon) and the sweet & sour pork (tangsuyuk). I went with the stir fried jajangmyeon that is bit spicier with shrimp, squid and vegetables. Two words: family portion. They are big portions to share. I did enjoy the flavors of the stir fried jajangmyeon with a more enhancement from the original simplicity of the dish. The tangsuyuk is crunchy and had that nice bite. The sweet and sour sauce is on the side for you to dip or pour as much as you like. All came with the Korean yellow radish if you are familiar with that side dish. Overall enjoyed the visit. I definitely know a place to visit for jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk. But they also have other items like soups, wings, rice, dumplings, and other entree choices. This is a very causal spot to stop in with a fair amount of seating. You grab your utensils, bowls, to go items and water dispenser if you choose not to purchase a bottle drink. *some things to note* I stopped in during their second half of the day, the staff are on a break from 3:00-5:00 pm and then opened for dinner service. Tuesdays they are not open and open every other day. Lastly, the prices are fair if you are dining solo. But the portion sizes are a nice amount and for my two dishes for today, I would consider them good for 2-4 people. *One lesson* If you choose to eat black bean noodles and like to live dangerously, I dare you to wear white. Number 1 rule ever, "No white clothing" unless you are ready to accept you won't come with some sauce stains. Carry a tide to go or wipes. I hope to come back for more especially when it becomes colder later this season.

    So I definitely need to come back to try the soondubu (silken tofu stew), but I had a mean craving…read morefor naengmyun and they do a rare half & half of both the spicy sauce and cold broth versions. I was impressed by the portion size, because each half could've been placed in a separate bowl, add more broth (shaved ice and a slice of Korean pear optional), and that's two portions in most places. Historically, these noodle dishes were a rare treat and a delicacy, as these noodles were very labor intensive and hard to make (although I'm sure they're mass produced now), and had to be served cold in the summer heat. Banchan was tasty too, including the kimchi which was early in the fermentation stage. The kimchi pancake was huge, definitely had to take this one to go, and came with an optional Korean-style spicy soy dipping sauce. I ordered the combo and went with the Bulgogi, which was tender and tasty, but didn't come sizzling so the pan it came in was more for display. Still, great good, fantastic value, and definitely the real deal. It's not as fancy as some of the more expensive neighborhoods of Houston (and a bit out of the way for me), but sometimes you just want some really tasty and unpretentious Korean comfort food.

    As a Korean, tofu soup is a staple for me, and this place is easily one of the best I've been to…read more Honestly, I'd even rank it above most places I used to go to in LA--only BCD is still up there with it. They make their tofu in-house, and you can really taste the difference. The soup is rich, comforting, and flavorful without tasting overloaded with MSG. It's the kind of meal that just warms your soul. We also ordered the cheese tonkatsu, and my husband got the seolleongtang. We normally aren't fans of cheese tonkatsu--in fact, we didn't even realize it had cheese in it when we ordered it--but wow... it was actually so good. Definitely a pleasant surprise. My husband's seolleongtang was amazing too. The banchan was fresh and well-prepared, and every dish we had was delicious. The service was absolutely perfect. The ladies working there were incredibly kind and even brought my husband extra noodles for his soup without us asking. That small gesture really made our experience even more memorable. Thank you so much! There's a decent amount of parking, but dinner time gets pretty busy, so I'd recommend arriving early since it's not a very large restaurant. 10/10. This is definitely one of our favorite Korean restaurants in Houston, and we'll absolutely be back.

    This is probably one of our favorite Korean BBQ spots in Houston…read more It's all-you-can-eat and even includes sushi and sashimi. Personally, I haven't tried those because Korean BBQ and sushi together just feels a little odd to me. I grew up in LA where we usually went to separate places for each, but I'm sure plenty of people enjoy having both options. The meat quality is really good, and everything is well-seasoned and flavorful. My only complaint is the soups--they don't really taste like the traditional Korean soups they're supposed to be. They could definitely use some improvement. That said, other side dishes like the tteokbokki are actually really good. For the price, it's an excellent value. The service is usually good, although it can be a little inconsistent depending on your server. One thing I really like is that they include dessert, such as Korean ice cream bars, regular ice cream, and other sweet treats. We've been here several times already and definitely plan on coming back. There's also a huge parking lot, and the area has plenty of cafés and other places to visit afterward, which makes it a great spot for a meal and a day out.

    This place has officially become one of my mom and my regular restaurant rotations, and I usually…read moreenjoy my visits. That said, the consistency of both service and food quality between visits can be noticeable. Service can be very slow at times, even when the restaurant isn't particularly busy. We've had issues with banchan not being brought out, grills not being turned on, and fish orders taking nearly an hour to arrive. Food quality can also be hit or miss. For example, the Cheese Crab Puffs have occasionally arrived completely cold with barely any crispiness or color, and we've had similar issues with other appetizers. My favorites are the Garlic Salmon Sashimi, Black Angus Marinated Short Rib, Wagyu Beef Belly, Black Angus Rib Finger, and Thick Cut Pork Belly. I also enjoy the Takoyaki, Crispy Tuna Rice, and Tteokbokki. There are a few dishes I would skip, including the Spicy Scallop Sashimi and Nigiri unless you enjoy very small scallops, the Baked Green Mussels, which are overly sweet, and the Prime Beef Brisket, which I've found to be tough and dry. Overall, there are plenty of dishes I genuinely enjoy here, but the inconsistency keeps this from being a place I can wholeheartedly recommend. When everything is executed well, it's a great meal, but you never quite know what kind of experience you're going to get. That being said, I tend to get good ones the majority of the time.

This spot is located in a small plaza next to a busy trampoline park, and inside, it's very clean and well maintained.

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.
