Sample size jjamppong
David H.

Came in when they reopened at 430pm and it was already bussstlin w people This is a joint where ya order first before sitting down--luckily there was a spot for us immediately after ordering I got their regular jjajangmyeon + a "sample size" jjamppong, which ended up being about $25 after tax/tip. The jjajangmyeon was solid, the noodles were fresh and the black bean sauce was pretty tasty considering the nature of this restaurant. One thing I do wish I got different was their jjajangmyeon option that includes extra pork. Now for that sample size jjampong.. I was confused bc apparently it's just the soup without any noodles haha. Idk if this was general knowledge but I was stumped by that lmao. The soup itself tasted.. burnt? Idk. I wasn't really feeling it

Sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour chicken

Paik's is great if you like a blend of fast casual with modern authentic food. The food comes very quick, but we ordered only fried items, so maybe that's why. Food has to be paid for ahead of time, and there's no wait staff. The only time workers came by was to drop off the food, so water was never refilled. The water container they provide is barely enough for 3 people after 2 rounds. We tried the sweet and sour fried chicken and fried pork. They use the same sauces. I preferred the fried pork more than the fried chicken because I didn't realize from the picture that it was literally fried chicken. The fried chicken was super hard and crispy and cutting my mouth from the inside. It was also mostly breading, so I didn't see the value in the sweet and sour fried chicken.

Sweet and Sour Pork & Jajangmyeon
Kelsie D.

Overall a great experience at Paik's Noodles! The jajangmyeon had fantastic flavor. Rich, savory, and well-balanced. The black pepper beef was another highlight with bold, satisfying seasoning. The sweet and sour pork was decent, though the sauce leaned a bit too sweet for my taste. Not a dealbreaker, but I'd probably try something else off the menu next time. Solid spot! Would definitely return!

Jjajangmyeon

I've been wanting to go to Paik's Noodle for a while, and considering the franchise is run by celebrity Chef Paik Jong Won, you'd want to see how delicious it actually is. This was my first time going to a Paik's Noodle location. I know there is one in Bellevue, too. I came here with my friend, and we both ordered the jjajangmyeon, of course. The jjajangmyeon came hot and very saucy. Upon eating it, the black bean sauce was so delicious and perfectly coated both the vegetables and the noodles. Paik's jjajangmyeon contains peas, which I'm not much of a fan of, but that doesn't matter if the overall dish can blend them in. I would say the ratio of vegetables to pork is more vegetables than actual meat. They definitely try to skimp out on it. My friend and I were able to finish our jjajangmyeon, so you know the portions are quite reasonable for one person. I would mark this as a standard jjajangmyeon spot in the area, and I can't wait to come back and have their other dishes.

This is the new location in Lynnwood at Alderwood Plaza, and there's generally plenty of parking available within walking distance. I've visited this location twice in the past few months since they opened and had two very different experiences. First visit: It was a party of three, and we added our name to the waitlist. We were called to order at the register within about 15-20 minutes, which wasn't bad considering it was lunchtime and pretty busy. After ordering and paying, we took our number and found a table. The staff was attentive and even checked in to see if we needed refills on the pickled radish. Second visit: This experience felt like a complete 180. We came during dinner with a larger party of six (including a baby), so we expected a longer wait--which was totally fine. However, the process was very different this time. After our name was called, we were seated right away and told someone would come take our order. After about 10 minutes with no one stopping by, we had to go up and ask. They apologized and said they had forgotten, then came over to take our order. Food timing was also inconsistent. Some dishes--like the fried items and stir-fried jajangmyeon (black noodles)--came out quickly, while one of my friend's meat jajangmyeon arrived much later, after most of us had already finished eating. It's hard to say if the difference was due to how busy it was, since both visits were during peak hours. Food & ambiance: Despite the service issues on the second visit, the food portions were generous and the quality was great. The ambiance leans more toward a fast-casual style--order, eat, and go--rather than a relaxed, full sit-down dining experience. Overall: Even with the inconsistent service, I still enjoy the food and would come back. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that it may have been an off day or newer staff still getting up to speed. TL;DR: Great food and portions, but service can be inconsistent depending on the visit. Worth coming back for the food--just be prepared for possible hiccups during peak times.

I LOVE Korean-Chinese food! I'm glad to see that Paik's has opened their second location here in Washington! We dined for lunch and it was busy, proving that I'm not the only one who loves Korean-Chinese food! The jjamppong had a decent kick to it, with a decent amount of fresh seafood. It more than fixed my noodle soup craving! Jajjangmyeon and tangsuyuk are such a classic pair, and they're both done extremely well at Paik's Portions are definitely big enough to share, but you might not want to.

First time for us to try this restaurant. Happy that this restaurant specializes more with noodles, as opposed to Korean BBQ. Not that I don't love that, but it's great to have a different option. So the menu is a bit limited, but what they do here is really good. We had the fried chicken wings and they were crispy, including the French fries. Really good! The noodle bowls were large, tasty---the one with the beef, rich snd flavorful broth. The seafood really tasted like fresh from the sea. The sweet sour looked beautiful and unique with the coating. The sauce was a little thin, though and not too sour. Maybe that's the Korean take on it. The room is one large room with a lot of tables. Noise level is quite loud. Food came out reasonably on time. The servers were nice and friendly. Our experience was good.

Paik's Noodle is a new place in Lynnwood. Got to try soy garlic chicken wings, sweet and spicy chicken wings, sweet and sour pork and couple of noodle dishes. It's not your typical Korean restaurant as this is a Korean Chinese restaurant. I personally didn't enjoy the food because it's not my kind of flavor profile. Some were lacking in flavor in my opinion. It's was just spicy. Some of the sweet and sour didn't taste like it. Service is good. You actually order from the counter and food is served. However we were such a big group that they offered to get our order from our table. It's a clean restaurant. When to sit, water, utensils and condiments are by your side.

Tried out this new spot and honestly, it did not disappoint. The shop is super clean and has a fresh, modern vibe. Ordering is simple you place your order first, then grab a seat, which keeps everything moving quickly. Service was fast, and the food came out hot and fresh without a long wait. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-presented. You can tell they care about quality, not just speed. Definitely a solid go-to if you want something quick but still really good. I'll be back.

I been wanting to come to this place ever since I watched culinary class wars. When I heard there's a new location in Lynnwood I knew I had to come. It was quite busy when we came and had to wait for a while. We got the spicy seafood noodle soup and the sweet and sour pork. I loved the noodle soup!! It was soooo flavorful and we loved the flavor of the soup. There was soo much toppings as well and the squid was really soft. However the mussels were chewy. The sweet and sour pork was okay. The sauce was way too sweet for us and we would have rated it higher if it wasn't as sweet. Too overpowering. But the fried pork was nice, I like the chewiness of the batter.

I love jjajangmyeon, but a restaurant that does it right is hard to come by in WA. My cousin and I have tried Paik's in Carrollton, TX and liked it there, so when we heard they were bringing one to Lynnwood we had to try it. There's plenty of free parking available in the lot as this location is in the same plaza as 85* degree bakery where the old GameStop used to be. Upon walking in, you should walk to the counter to place an order with the person there as there's no menus at the tables. The menus are instead projected on the TVs above the register or they one a physical copy too taped on the counter. Each item of food has a picture by it and you order then pay before you sit down. You can choose any table as they're all set up with water and utensils already. jjajangmyeon: we decided to order a bowl each and this was a smart decision because we were both pretty hungry. I think that if this is your main entree, get one each but you could definitely split it if you were ordering some other dishes as well. There was a healthy portion of noodles and they were more of the thicker side. I personally prefer thicker noodles because they hold the sauce better in my opinion, but my cousin prefers thinner ones. They have a good bounce to them and are chewy. The sauce itself had lots of beef, onions, and green peas inside. It wasn't too watery like other locations, but I did wish the black bean taste was stronger. It's more of a light taste, so I added vinegar & the red chilis on the table to enhance the flavoring which helped. soy garlic chicken: you can choose between 5 pieces or 10. We chose 5 and they were all pretty large pieces. It's a mix of bone in drums and flats, but fried very nicely. The meat was succulent. The batter wasn't thick at all and the sauce stuck to the chicken well. You could taste the garlic and hint of sweetness. The fries on the side were also very fresh. You can tell they fry them to order and had the perfect ratio of soft potato inside to crispy outside. I feel like the prices were pretty reasonable for the portion & quality of food. Everything was fresh and the staff were all very sweet! You take a number tag with you to your table so they can find you. The food all came out in about 10 minutes and they'll check in on you if everything's good, but leave you alone for the most part. There's many tables in the restaurant and they even have booths against the back wall for larger groups. I liked how spacious, open and clean the interior was. It's a very chill spot to come get a quick meal or catch up with friends. We saw lots of Asian grandmas and grandpas in there which is always a good sign :) I'd recommend & will be back.

Jajang Rice
Alan L.

Paik's Noodle is worth the visit. The interior is clean and airy, with an open layout that the staff made even more welcoming. They happily rearranged tables to fit parties of all sizes without missing a beat. We went with the jajang rice and tangsuyuk, and both delivered. The jajang sauce is the real deal: rich, deeply savory, loaded with tender onions and meaty bits. Easily one of the best in the area. The tangsuyuk was a pleasant surprise: fresh, crispy, but with a mochi-like chew to the breading that adds a satisfying texture. That small twist that makes a big difference. Solid food, great staff, and a space that actually feels good to sit in. Highly recommend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Soooo delicious! We got the fried chicken, jajamyun, and jjampong! Everything was great - employees were really kind and checking in on us to see if we needed anything. Will be back!

Maybe the chef can find a way to achieve just enough tenderness while still being crunchy, which would be perfect. Another thing, my bowl looks burned on the edges. Kudos to all staff! I have noticed that they always work together seamlessly as a team. They communicate and clean the tables together in an efficient manner. Please keep up the great work!

My boyfriend and I stopped by here after a long drive from Kent as we are staying at a nearby hotel…read morefor a convention and it was pretty late so most places were closed. I had Dawa on my bookmarks for a long time ever since I saw videos about it and just the overall good reviews. We came in and saw that the place was pretty packed on a Thursday night but we were noticed quickly by a male employee and seated right away thankfully. Once we were seated, we were handed water and utensils as well as directions on how we can order as they have a small kiosk. We put in our order of galbi fried chicken, pork on the bone stew or gamjatang, and grilled pork belly. Once the order was entered, our waiter came back with rice, banchan, sauces and accompaniments for the pork belly, salad (think it comes with the grilled pork belly), pickled radish for the chicken and plates and bowls to share. It didn't take too long for food to come back but it didn't all come together which was odd but luckily the chicken was for sharing. The gamjatang was huge and pretty good, not as good as one of my favorite places in Federal Way but I will admit that they do give some huge pieces of meat and offer a one time refill of the soup. It could use more of a kick and more seasoning. The chicken as many others have mentioned was extremely well-fried, marinated and extremely huge. I do think they have the biggest Korean fried chicken pieces that I have ever seen in Washington. The meat was juicy, the outside was crunchy, and the sauce was heavenly. My boyfriend did say the grilled pork belly was some of the best he has ever had in his life, which is super high praise and I will admit that it is very good as well! They had an interesting playlist ranging from K-pop to regular pop (lots of Justin Bieber) and sometimes they would tone it down a bit then start blasting it. The two male servers working that day (7/16/26) were fantastic about checking in at perfect times, were courteous and refilled our waters. We never had to use to kiosk to call them once which I appreciated very much. My boyfriend and I look forward to coming back and definitely want to give a heads up that their portions are huge so come hungry!
