A bowl is about $22 after tax and tip which is leaning past the average from what I've seen, but the portion size is quite generous so I think you get your money's worth 9/10, would most definitely come again

Most Chinese restaurants nowadays does tap-to-pay... only shady restaurants are cash-only now, especially with how much dinners cost nowadays! Anyway, it's not 3 stars because of that. The food was ok. Not sure if it's the same owner as QQ noodles from Milpitas Ranch... but the menu sure looks like it. I didn't like they didn't offer any chicken options, and not even that much pork options. Just not enough selection for me. I finally resorted on the Braised Beef knife-cut-noodles. It was ok. My friend also said his dish was very oily. Not sure I'll be back

I'm half Teochew but didn't really grow up in the culture. I've brought my Teochew dad before and he thought it wasn't very authentic. I thought it tasted fine though, but my dad is incredibly picky. My second visit was just me and my partner. We heard about the $9.99 Hainan Chicken deal to promote the opening of their new restaurant location. There was a long wait, as you can imagine for a deal like this! We waited maybe 30 minutes before being seated. The waitress immediately clocked that I could speak Cantonese when seating me. That auntie's got a gift! Especially since most Chinese folks my age in the area seem to be Mandarin speakers. I'm still wondering how she knew! We each ordered a dish of the Hainan chicken rice. The soup that comes with it is absolutely delicious! My partner and I got different cuts of chicken. His was very bony and mine was mostly meat, which suited me just fine, but he was not as happy He'll probably order a dish without bones next time we come here. I really liked the ginger scallion sauce as well. Overall, I had a great experience and the portions were huge. Would absolutely come back another time!

The Hainan chicken itself was very flavorful but everything else - the rice, the wood ear, the side veggies, and even the scallion ginger paste(!) - was bland. very disappointed. The special fish maw noodle soup...where do I begin. The texture of the noodles was very mushy (weird). The whole dish was very bland, which, based on reviews of saltiness, just shows inconsistent quality control coming out of the kitchen. I feel like the mushrooms were good texture (still missing flavor) but that's about it. The rest was 100% forgettable. The best dish was the pig ears. Understandably not for everyone's palette but worth a mention. The service as good but nothing stand out. I added a tea to my order late and the host pressured me into using cash instead of my card...felt very awkward but I was too tired to push back. It was ok.

Known for the chicken wings, yes, but try more. You may eat like a king or queen with just a few orders, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the best Chinese cuisine I've ever sampled.

We stopped here specifically for their noodle soups, which are served with a clear, comforting chicken broth. The wonton soup was excellent, featuring plump, well-stuffed wontons, though they were pure pork and did not contain any shrimp. We also ordered the chicken noodle soup. The noodles themselves were soft and scrumptious, but the chicken meat was unfortunately a bit dry. I ordered an extra side serving of chicken, which came out pretty small for the added cost and had the same dryness issue. Despite the chicken, I still really enjoyed the meal overall. It is a good choice for a light, warm bowl of soup, even if a few of the details were not entirely perfect.

The noodles for both dishes have a pleasantly chewy bounce to them. They are thick, satisfying, and cooked perfectly right. The Jajangmyeon's black bean sauce was savory with a touch of sweetness and contains peas, onions, and pork. The Jjamppong has a spicy seafood broth with squid, mussels, pork, and veggies. Every meal comes with pickled yellow radish on the side to help cut through the richness of the meal. Service is not what you come here for. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated and a part of that was because they skipped our name on the waitlist. They claimed they called it, but we were standing less than 15 feet away from the front door and never heard a thing. The music the restaurant was playing outside didn't help. Once sat inside, it is a turn-and-burn operation. Food is ordered, dropped off, payment is collected, and nothing more. Again, don't go here for the service, go for the noodles. The atmosphere is casual and bit cramped. It has a cafeteria-like feel inside and can get a little noisy. Parking can be tricky especially when busy since they share a small parking lot with neighboring businesses. Bottomline, Paik's Noodle is good for a quick and solid bite but that's about it.

The Beef Brisket Rice Noodle Roll is good with the amount of beef and tendon on it. The dim sum combo of shiu mai, steam cake and chicken feet are also good. I particularly like the shiu mai as it came in a steam basket of 4 and each of them were huge. We also got the Fish Porridge; the fish filets were crunchy in texture, which is how it's supposed to be. The Lotus Leaf Sparerib Rice also has good spareribs, flavorful, good cuts and not having broken bones as the spareribs are not the same as the dim sum kind. Service was also good. They arranged our seating so we could seat more comfortably as soon as the neighboring table opened up. They didn't come to take away the dirty dishes quick enough though; lucky our table was big enough so we piled up the dirty dishes away. They provided us a cup of water upon seating down, so we had to ask for refill each time, would prefer to do our own water refill if possible. The store is doing a promotion, if you prepay $300, you get an extra $50 in value. If you prepay $500, then the extra value got to $100. It's good value as you can apply it to anything including tips and taxes. We also like that their tip calculation suggestion started at 15% and not the 18% as most restaurants are.
