    To go orders?
    Susan B.

    Easy parking in a lot, order your food from the table and a nice person delivers the best K-food. It's humble, clean and DELICIOUS. We overshot, and had tons of left over chicken, teehee. The sodukk sodukk satisfied the street food crazing, the jjajanmyun and jjampong combo was really tasty, we both really like the broth in the jjiampong, and the seafood was cooked perfectly. We got a combo chicken, all of it delicious, and perfect as leftovers. Not a thing wrong with the prices either.

    Fried chicken was missing something not sure if it was it was ok. The noodles in soybean sauce was good and fries are crunchy.

    I have came here multiple times, their chicken has big portions and is very crunchy and flavorful, I personally like the Yangnyam Chicken, it's a little sweet if you are into that! The service was great, the workers are always kind and friendly.

    Ttobongee Chicken is known for their korean style chicken in Santa Clara! The parking situation is pretty terrible. Other stores in the plaza have reserved spots in front of their shops, leaving almost no vacancies for guests. I don't believe Ttobongee has reserved parking, which basically leaves diners to round the parkinglot multiple times. There was no wait upon arrival. We were seated quickly and ordering is all done via the kiosk at each table. Daikon, gloves, water, and a basket for bones was immediately provided. The Yang Nyum chicken is spicy and sweet. The Honey chicken is sweet, but not overly sugary. Both have sticky sauce on the chicken, but not excessively coating it. The korean fried chicken is fantastic here! Just pray you can find parking no matter what time you try to dine...

    Perfect for when you're craving delicious Korean fried chicken! I visited on a Tuesday evening around 5pm, and it was almost completely empty. The interior is filled with bright colors, plenty of seating, and automated ordering systems. The online ordering system is really convenient to use - if you want to order more food in the middle of your meal, you don't need to flag down a waiter. Since the restaurant was empty, our food arrived soon after ordering. There were so many variations of fried chicken, ranging from sweet chili sauce to soy and garlic sauce. I ordered the green onion chicken with mustard sauce. Every piece of chicken was perfectly crispy and piping hot. The mustard sauce was quite prominent and almost overpowered the taste of the chicken. The dish was covered with a generous serving of sliced green onion, offering a fresh contrast to the heavy fried chicken. On top of fried chicken, the restaurant offers so many classic Korean dishes, like black bean noodles and spicy noodle soup. Their black bean noodles were PERFECT. I prefer a more savory, less sweet black bean sauce, which was exactly what this place offered. If you like a sweeter black bean noodle, this may not be your favorite. The spicy noodle soup was also perfection, filled with chewy noodles, plenty of seafood and vegetables, and an umami broth. I genuinely can't get over how delicious my meal here was - I can't wait to visit again!

    1. Ttobongee Chicken and 2. Yang Nyum Chicken (half, with 6 drumsticks)
    Maggie W.

    I have been meaning to come here for a long time, but the wait time on prior attempts has always been 30-40 minutes and the groups I was with didn't want to wait. I finally got to try today as there was zero wait and we got seated immediately. Between 2 people we ordered half order of ttobongee chicken and half order of yang nyum chicken as well as the japchae. Wow. We both agreed that it's some of the best Korean fried chicken that we've had. Favorite between the two of us was the yang nyum chicken: the sauce is just the right amount and adds such rich flavor to the chicken. The chicken is fried to perfection and is nice and moist on the inside. The japchae looks unassuming but tastes pretty good as well! I like that they give you gloves so it makes it easier to eat the chicken. Ordering is easy because you do it from a tablet at the table. When you're ready for the check instead of having to look around and try to make eye contact with a waiter, you can let them know you're ready for the check via the tablet as well. Interior decor is pretty standard: some blue lights with white/yellow lights overhead and it's very well lit inside. Simple tables and chairs mixed with some booths as well. Overall very glad I finally got to try Ttobongee

    4. Soy Sauce & Garlic Chicken
    Janelle N.

    Cute casual place to go to for a quick bite. It is rather easy to order, each table has an ipad. The servers did check in on ur refilling any condiments and water. The service was super quick. We went around 2 pm and it seems like there is a lot of to go orders rather than sit downs but it can be different for dinner and rush times so account for that. The soy garlic was surprisingly really spicy. It was crispy and flavorful. I enjoyed the rice cakes with the sausages. It was a great starter. The black bean noodles; you can tell the noodles are freshly made and I loved how chewy it was. The portions are huge and I recommend family style!

    Kids wanted Korean fried chicken so we went to try this pace out. We ordered from the table tab, service was quick. We got pickle dishes and water. Typical Korean restaurant, good size . The original fried chicken is good, but bb.q is better. Rice cake in soup base is decent, the black noodles was so far the best. Overall, kids approved, and the price here is very reasonable

    Ordered this place through DoorDash on Thanksgiving day, it's not bad at all. I would say the food was average and maybe I would have a better experience dining in. I say this because the chicken wasn't crispy at all, it was just regular sauced wings. It wasn't soggy and the restaurant is 13 minutes away from my place, so the wings would have still been crispy if they've fried it longer. It was my first time trying, so I can't confirm how well they fry the food. Interestingly, the food gave me more of a Chinese taste than Korean flavors. The garlic soy had a nice garlicky flavor, but on the saltier side. It was missing the sweet crunch from korean fried chicken. Also, the black bean noodles had a strong ginger flavor which I didn't like because I'm not a big fan of ginger. The noodles were also on the thinner side. I prefer Paik's Noodle style for their noodles, its thicker, chewier & bouncy! I wanted to try this place because other locations have good reviews, but I can see why this place has mixed opinions.

    Cold afternoon in the South Bay. No one wanted budae jjigae or soondae, and cold noodles were off the table. So we anchored the meal with jjajangmyeon, and this shop delivered a well-executed table. Tangsuyuk (Fried Pork) - Technically precise The highlight. * Lean pork loin cut into uniform strips * Thin, even batter with a clean break * Pale-gold color indicating controlled oil temperature * Tender interior without dryness The sauce is classic: lightly acidic, balanced sweetness, and just enough viscosity to coat without overwhelming. One of the cleaner, more disciplined versions in the Bay Area. Galbi Fried Chicken - Structured heat Not a sticky-sweet galbi glaze; this one carries real, calibrated spice. * Double-fry technique done correctly * Heat level defined but clean * Aromatics built on garlic, chili, and soy caramelization Surprisingly excellent with jjajangmyeon. Jjajangmyeon - Balanced and properly layered * Firm chew on the noodles * Depth from genuine onion caramelization * Controlled oil layer (sheen, not grease) * Full coating with predictable flavor consistency Exactly the bowl you want on a cold day. Service -- Genuine warmth I greeted the owner in Korean. She thought I was Korean at first; when she realized I wasn't, she became even warmer and more attentive. A small moment, but memorable. Would've ordered a Cass If I wasn't driving, this would've been a Cass meal. Jjajangmyeon + spicy chicken + Cass is a classic trio. A shop that respects its frying, treats jjajangmyeon seriously, and brings honest hospitality. Clear flavors, disciplined execution, and a meal that fits the weather. - Dr C Only writing for what earns the stars.

    2. Yang Nyum Chicken, 4. Soy Sauce & Garlic Chicken, Onion Rings, Sodduk Sodduk
    Stephanie L.

    This was my first time visiting this place for Korean fried chicken, and it was pretty good, but the wait was extremely long. I ordered half yang nyum & half soy with onion rings and sodduk sodduk. The look & the color of both of those chicken flavors looks similar, so it's hard to tell which is which unless you taste it. The yang nyum was mild spice, which was good in flavor. Onion rings were still crispy and not too hard when I brought it home. The sodduk sodduk was a mix of sweet and savory. It was good, but I probably won't order this again. This place is solid for fried chicken tho.

    Perfect spot and vibes for the after work hours. Everyone is nice and service is very on top of it. They welcome you as you walk in and they make you feel very welcomed. Chicken is always a 10/10. Been here 3 times and not once was i disappointed!

    Sweet potato fries
    Kimberly V.

    Came here a few weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised. It seems like a place where people come to catch up with friends and have a few drinks. One order of chicken and sweet potato fries was enough for two people. We were seated rather quickly, and the server was really attentive. After ordering on the kiosk, we didn't wait too long to receive our food. Will be coming back to try their other chicken flavors!

    My kid has seafood allergies, is the chicken fried with any seafood (I see some shrimp chips in some photos)?

    We have nut allergies (tree nuts, peanuts) and were wondering if the fried chicken has any nuts (e.g., in the batter)? Thank you!

    No nuts. Thanks

The decor is a little dated. Service was efficient and met expectations. We ordered Wang Mandoo, LA Galbi, and a Cold Noodle Combo. The Wang Mandoo were described as king size boiled dumplings with beef, pork, and kimchi, and the sizes did not disappoint -- indeed very huge, even larger than the mandoo I've had in Korea. The meat was tender and overall very tasty. The LA Galbi came out as large slices of BBQ short ribs and were tender, juicy, and flavorful. The cold noodle combo came with cold noodles in broth plus bulgogi. You can pick other protein but that's what we chose. The cold noodles were refreshing and the noodles were chewy and bouncy. The portions were fairly large. The bulgogi was probably the most disappointing of all the dishes we had. It was tender beef but lacked some bbq flavor. I appreciated the wide variety of Banchans that were brought out to our table. They also gladly refilled the banchans as needed.

I forgot…read morewho originally recommended this place to me, but I'm glad they did Their prices are super good and their food is consistently good. I get the jajangmyeon ($10.95 for a small) every time, mostly because the noodle texture is TOP TIER. The noodles are thick, chewy, and springy, and they pair really well with the jajang (black bean) sauce. There are also plenty of ingredients mixed into the sauce, although I find it a little salty sometimes. The tangsuyuk (sweet & sour pork, $15.95) is super crispy, and I really liked the tangy sauce with it. I personally prefer dipping the pieces in the sauce so they stay crispy, but you can also pour the sauce over if that's your preference! The restaurant can get pretty busy on weekend evenings, with waits usually around 10-30 minutes. There's plaza parking available nearby. Would definitely recommend if you like or want to try jajangmyeon!

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.

We ordered a combo (contains three dishes) and not only did they forget two of the three items, but when we asked for the two items they only brought out the second one over an hour later. By the time we were done with our second item, we asked them to just not bring out the third item in our combo because it was clear they hadn't even begun to prepare it because they forgot again. Despite only receiving two of the three items in our combo over the span of our two hours, they still charged us the full $73 for the combo. Additionally, they kept bringing out the wrong items and also brought out things twice when we had already received it. Food overall was undeniably bad for how it was priced. The quality of the pork in the katsu was extremely tough and stringy, not to mention how it was absolutely drowned in sauce. Kimchi fried rice was wet, as it was drowned in sauce and oil, barely fried. Chicken wings were also drenched in oil and sauce, and it was soggy, rubbery, and overall terrible.

I highly recommend ordering the combos here over ala carte! All the food came out piping hot and fresh. It was the perfect bar food; just really expensive for the quality of what you're eating. The place had ambient purple lighting inside, kpop & korean street food videos displaying on the TVs, tons of korean idol posters, and music absolutely blasting overhead. I enjoyed the lively vibe, but will say the music got a bit too loud and my friends and I really had to raise our voice to speak to each other.
