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. read more

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! read more

Paik's Noodle - Sweet and Sour Pork & Jajangmyeon - Chinese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

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. read more

Paik's Noodle - Jjajangmyeon - Chinese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came here with some friends who know the show and had to give the celebrity restauranteur's spot a try. The dishes on the menu looked interesting at least, black bean noodles which can be hard to find around here. We got those and the wings, sweet and sour pork, almost half the menu really. Everything tasted like the kitchen was clean, good techniques, good ingredients, just bad recipes. Everything was a flavor and textural nightmare. The pork was basically dehydrated and I'm not even joking. They had cooked any juiciness completely out of it and you got concentrated dried pork and oil that was not a great experience. Everything else was pretty bland but nothing 'bad' per se. I came here knowing celebrity spots like these are usually disappointments so at least I set my expectations correctly. Skip this spot and try one of the many great local Korean spots around town instead. read more

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. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I may be willing to give it one more try and also had high hopes because my sisters took me to this chain in San Diego back in October last year and liked it a lot so I was looking forward to it! My husband and I ordered jjajangmyun, jjampong, and the sweet and sour pork. Everything tasted smokey and not in a good BBQ kind. I couldn't wrap my tastebuds around it but it was just smokey and also really black pepper-y. I don't understand why the sweet and sour pork was also sprinkled in black pepper from the looks of it. I'm usually not a jjampong person but the seafood portion was great at least. Both the noodles were more on the firmer side which I like mine softer and chewier. The sweet and sour pork, I appreciate the sauce being on the side and I know it can get kind of runny but 10 minutes in, it felt and looked like gelatin, kind of disturbing if I'm being honest. The staff were nice so no complaints there although we witnessed some major safety hazards... but that's a different story. read more

Good food with quick service! I got my noodles to go and appreciated that the sauce, noodles (and even radish) were included in separate containers! There was plenty of sauce, maybe more than needed for the noodles too. If I'm in the area, I'd come back if I'm craving some jajangmyeon. read more

Paik's Noodle - jajangmyeon to go - Chinese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Such a nice addition to Alderwood Plaza! The dining style is a little different but very convenient and quick. You check-in and wait until you are called/receive a text that it's time to order, you go up to the counter and order, and then assigned a number and told where to sit. The food came out so quickly! It's definitely more family style dining, where the dishes are large enough to share. Staff were very friendly and kept checking in on us even after we got our food. The food was super tasty and we will definitely come back! read more

I love Paik's! One of the more solid chains I've been to so I was excited to see they opened in Lynnwood! It's a spot where you order at the counter and they give you a number to take to your table. We got the jjajeongmyeon and soontofu jjamppong which are my go-tos. Both really great! The noodles were perfectly cooked in both, and I especially liked adding the tofu into the jjamppong. I only wish they did the thing at many other korean spots where you can get smaller portions of both in one order. That way I wouldn't have to choose which one to get! read more

Casual dining, upon walking in we saw signs to order at the counter. Fairly prompt service although not very helpful. After ordering I realized you can get jjamppong with rice instead of noodles. It was assumed we wanted noodles rather than being asked. Fried dumplings were basic. Hubby got meat jjamppong while I ordered the standard. His came out first while mine took a bit longer. Broths tasted the same his just had more of the 'meat worms' as he called them. Broth had a nice seafood base, not very spicy or thick. read more

Paik's Noodle - Sweet & sour chicken, jjamppong and stir-fried jajangmyeon for takeout - Chinese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Came here for dinner a few weeks ago and the place was packed, which is usually a good sign! Just a heads up--don't come here unless you're ready to wait about an hour, or try coming on a weekday when it's probably less busy. The process was a bit confusing at first since none of the staff explained how it worked. There's a waitlist machine in the corner where you enter your number, but it's easy to miss. The wait times online also didn't match the actual wait. Once your name is called, you'll order at the counter. It's best to wait near the counter since that's where they call names--if you wait outside, you might miss it. After ordering, they give you a number and you can find a seat. The food itself was pretty good and tasted fresh, which I appreciated. Overall a solid spot, but personally not something I'd wait an hour for again. read more

I took my wife to Paik's Noodle for her birthday. First impression when you walk through the door, the establishment looks clean and hospitable. We were seated seconds after walking in and got our food ordered in a timely fashion. If you're into spicy food, I recommend the Jjamppong, It's their seafood soup. Pretty tasty and a little spicy to your liking but not too spicy that you feel like your mouth is on fire the whole time. I got the stir fried noodles which was also really good with different kind of veggies and meat of your choice. Staff is friendly and helpful. Overall had an excellent experience. read more

We love the Bellevue location Jjangjangmyeon and spicy sprimp. So we were just as excited to dine at the new lynnwood location but we were very disappointed. The food took a lot longer than we expected and the food did not taste that great. The jjangjangmyeon sauce was watery and didn't taste that great. The spicy shrimp, the shrimp had a very strange aftertaste. I'm sorry but I don't think we will be back to the lynnwood location. read more

Paik is a famous chef in Korea, but they probably just use his name for the restaurant. I ordered the Jyajangmein. It had less pork than I expected. The flavor wasn't as deep as I would have liked it. There was a weird flavor tho that made my stomach feel uneasy afterwards. If you want good Jyajangmein I prefer Modoo Banjeom. Portion sizes are larger there and the flavors are deeper and more delicious. I didn't try their Jampong at Paik yet. read more

Paik's Noodle - Sweet and sour option with pork or chicken. But chicken was really good and my new favorite. - Chinese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

The portions are HUGE (one plate of noodles is enough for 2 to 3) and the prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. The stand out for us was the sweet & spicy wings with French fries. Very very crispy with a moist and tender interior, the wings could be spicier (just a preference) and the wings are sooo Itty bitty, I wish they were bigger. The fries are tossed in some kind of starchy coating that makes them come out super crispy and delicious. We also got the stir-fried jjajangmyeon and stir-fried jampong as we had read from other reviews that the stir-fried versions have more flavor. They were a bit on the bland side for me, I like my jampong with more spice and a stronger seafood flavor. And the jjajangmyeon was a bit bland too, even though we asked for spicy. They both had the same strips of squid, chicken, beef, and green onion onions and wood ear mushrooms and some other stuff I might have missed. We thought everything overall was OK - the price is good and the food is fresh but the flavors need to be taken up a notch. We had so much leftovers we ate it again for dinner. We don't recommend saving the leftovers as the dishes lost even more flavor and the noodles got softer over time so heating it up again to eat was a bit meh. So if you're interested in trying this, eat it hot and fresh at the restaurant for the best experience. The ordering and serving was very efficient; you go up to the counter, order, pay, grab your table sign and take a seat. The restaurant is very casual with plenty of seating and every table is preset with utensils and small plates and cups and water pitcher - typical Korean restaurant set up. Don't forget to ask for more napkins as you will need them! I wish they would give you more than just one thin napkin per diner. Overall Paik's is a good place to try these dishes if they are new to you but remember to bring a friend to share the meal and eat it all there! read more

Amazingballs! The sweet & sour pork was a delight to the taste buds, bursting with flavor. The stir fried jajangmyeon was the bomb! Full of rich, smoky flavor, chewy noodles, a ton of crunchy veggies and yummy protien. Comfort food at its finest. Went back the next day and tried the soy garlic chicken wings. Yum yum yum. The only thing I didnt care for was the fries. Im not a fan of that extra crust some restaurants put on thier fries. Bluck. read more
