Paik's Noodle North York 홍콩반점

Foods: 7/10 Service: 8 Serving Time: 10 Portions: 8 Ambience: 7 Cleanliness: 8 Price: 8 Parking: 9 Complimentaries: N/A I recently visited this restaurant and had a generally positive experience, especially thanks to the speedy service and the friendly, courteous staff who made us feel welcome from start to finish. Our server was impressively quick and attentive, creating a relaxed and accommodating dining environment. - Jajangmyeon: The noodles were quite good... savory, well-cooked, with a rich black bean sauce that complemented the noodles perfectly. - Jjampong Bab: This was definitely the star of the meal... bursting with flavor, generously loaded with fresh seafood and ingredients that made each spoonful a delightful experience. The seafood was fresh, and the broth had a wonderful depth that kept me wanting more. - Tangsuyuk was a Big letdown. The pork was tough and hard to chew, lacking the tender, crispy perfection I was expecting. The sauce had an unusual flavor, not quite matching the authentic taste I was expecting, which made it feel a bit off compared to the traditional version. *** Overall, I would recommend this place... especially for their delicious Jajangmyeon and Jjampong. I’m excited to explore more items on their menu because there’s definitely potential here, though I’ll be steering clear of their Tangsuyuk next time — it just wasn’t worth the chew!

Came here last week and decided to come back to try other dishes as it was just too good! We tried both jjampongs, the soybean noodles, and the fried chicken. Service was quick and the staff were all very friendly. The noodles had a good bounce and the chicken was crispy yet juicy.

My friend was introduced to this restaurant because of Baek jeon won and his famous noodle shop. I personally really enjoyed the jajangmyeon , it was much less heavy than the ones I’ve had before. My friend got the jjamppong extra spicy, it was very spicy but the flavor was incredible. The only thing I found a bit weird was the tangsuyeok sauce, it didn’t taste like the traditional ones I’ve tasted before. But still interesting nonetheless the less. Definitely would come again to try other dishes!

I finally tried Paik’s Noodle the last month and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Jjajangmyeon and it totally hit the spot—rich, savory black bean sauce, perfectly chewy noodles, and a good portion size. The place had a casual, no-fuss vibe, which I liked. Service was quick too. It’s not super fancy or anything, but if you’re craving some solid Korean-Chinese comfort food, this is definitely a good spot to hit up. I’ll be back for the spicy seafood soup next time.

Came here for the first time to try the jjajangmyeon, and everything was very flavourful. It felt like comfort food! I would strongly recommend the Yuringi (fried chicken), as it was a standout dish for us. Overall great service and vibe.

Paik’s has always been our go to. Great service, and quick too! And the food never disappoints. Never have we noticed a change in the quality or quantity in food. The prices are also amazing. Highly recommend coming here : )

Came here on a weekend and it was pretty busy as I had to wait in line for a while. Food was standard good Korean Chinese food. Wouldn’t say it was anything special but prices were reasonable and it was quick. Service was quick and efficient. Tables are a bit close together and the seats weren’t very comfortable. However I liked how each table had its own monitor to order as it was a lot more efficient and is good for people who want to see pictures (language can be changed too).

It was my first time eating here as my brother suggested it after celebrating his graduation ceremony. The lady was so welcoming and pleasant to talk too. The food was absolutely amazing and the portions are so big. I recommend this place to eat if you love Korean food! I can’t wait to come here again. 10/10!

What a lovely noodle place! Everything we tried today was delicious. They have spicy and non-spicy versions of noodles or rice, many main dishes and they separate the sauces from the fried items (to keep it nice and crispy). Service was excellent, friendly staff and was quick to answer all the requests we sent via the table top tablets. That's how you place your orders through their table (don't forget to confirm your order to send). A tip for those who don't go to Korean restaurants often, you can find the chopsticks, spoons, napkins on the table side drawers. And bonus points, there's parking in the plaza.

I was driving and remembered Paik's Noodles was nearby, so decided to grab some jajangmyeon for lunch. We also got the small sweet and sour pork since it was our first time. There were lots of people on Canada Day, so it took more than half an hour for takeout. I would suggest calling ahead of time instead of waiting. The restaurant was also very loud but service was decent. The sweet and sour pork smelled so good in the car and I thought I ordered popeyes lol. The portions were decent and the jajangmyeon was definitely tastier than the packaged ones. The pork, on the other hand, was a little disappointing. I don't think the chef realized how much batter was used for each piece because pretty much all of them were disproportionately fried or I would have expected them to cut the meat a bit bigger? The pork was also tasteless and the sauce was just super sweet. I saw a sign saying no splitting bills from Fri-Sunday.

Comforting chicken and noodles, on the lighter side Atmosphere: The restaurant is on the smaller side, with several tables of four that are compact. Each table has a tablet for ordering everything from food to drink to even getting the bill, and the utensils and napkins are found in drawers underneath the table top. Food: Portions were very good for the price paid, with the fried chicken and pork entrees filling a fairly large plate and fried perfectly. In terms of flavour, we found the chicken not really seasoned, and relying more on the sauce to give it flavour. The noodles were nicely portioned as well, with large bowls of noodles cooked with some chew, but the ingredients were a bit lacking as it was mainly onion on the jajang noodles (not a lot of meat) and mainly veggies on the jjamppong, so you get what you pay for. It would have been nice to have more pork and seafood, respectively. The flavour of the noodles were also on the lighter side compared to other Korean restaurants we've been to. Service: The servers were out of the way and you would have to request everything from food, to a water refill and the check through the tablet. It was convenient for ordering food as you could see everything you order, but it was a bit inconvenient to go through the tablet for everything else. Good hearty meal where noodles are the focus, will definitely fill you up.

I think it's fair to say everyone had taste biases. We ordered the tang-suyuk (sweet and sour fried pork) and jajang (black bean sauce noodles). If you like things with a sweet note... the jajang is for you... I like it and the noodles were just right with a little bit of chew... when noodle are over cooked they are just too soft and not cooked enough and they are too hard and starchy. The sauce was good... not super strong like some black bean sauces... might have liked some veggies or potatoes dices. That's just how I've had it in the past. Not sure what is more authentic. The tang-suyuk smells really good... I was really looking forward to them but this is where I'm have a bias... I line some batter but there is s point when it didn't add and crispy ness and this was just there... chewy by didn't have flavor even when dipped in the sauce. This might be authentic... but just I'm not used to it. It wasn't terrible just not what I thought I was going to get. The value is pretty good. I think I'm the problem.

We visited the Monday afternoon before Canada Day. It was pretty packed despite it being a work day, but we were lucky enough to get seating right away. We ordered one of the jjampong and the half and half shrimp to share. I found the jjampong pretty comforting and liked how big and crispy the shrimp pieces were. I found the sauce flavouring for the shrimp to be too strong, but that's more of a personal preference. Prices were fair relative to the portion sizes as well.

The restaurant was already packed after 10 minutes of opening. The food is decently priced and portion sizes are very good. Ordered the cold soy noodles, and while a bit grainy for my taste, was very refreshing for the hot day. The sweet and sour pork was a miss however, the sauce was much too sweet.

Order with the tablet and grab utensils under the table. Got the small black bean noodles and small sweet n sour pork, and fried chicken. (one size). This was more than enough food for two and we had leftovers. The fried chicken was the highlight, crispy, tender and the sauce had a perfect amount of tang and sweetness. It sauce wasn't spicy as well, which I prefer. I'd skip the sweet and sour pork because it's not that tender and the sauce is flat with just sourness. It's different and not balanced like the Chinese style. The mixed shrimp was tasty but the white sauce was my favourite. They also had the soy bean cold noodle, something I've never had before. Refreshing on a cold summer day, but not too strong in soy flavour.

We came here around 8:30pm on a Saturday. We got a table before a line cued up behind us. You order everything on a tablet (like in Korea) and the food came pretty quickly. We got jjampong noodles and jangjang noodles and fried chicken. Absolute winner. It's a drive away for us but we will definitely come back to eat here again. Will try the fried pork next time!

I came across this place after seeing their high reviews. I wasn't sure what to expect though after I saw that they were offering a promotion for leaving a review on Google, but it actually lived up to the hype! The service was great, everyone was super polite and attentive throughout the meal. I really liked the tablet ordering system as it made things easy and efficient. The sweet and sour pork dish had a nice, crispy texture though the sauce wasn't quite my thing (just a personal preference). The noodles were excellent, with a flavorful broth, yummy noodles and generous amount of toppings (soooo much mussels!). Portions were satisfying and I felt like it was worth the price. A nice surprise was the complimentary appetizer which was a pickled dish with black bean sauce. It was a great palate cleanser and they even offered us a refill after we finished ours off within a couple of minutes. They also serve a dessert of peaches at the end, which was a nice touch to wrap up the meal. As a note- they don't offer split bills on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All in all, a solid experience and I'd definitely be back to try their other noodles!

Loved this spot for a quick and tasty meal! You order right from a tablet at the table, which makes the whole process super easy and efficient. Food came out fast--perfect if you're in a hurry but still want something satisfying. I had the jajangmyeon and jjamppong--both full of flavor and really hit the comfort food craving. The tangsuyuk was crispy and not too greasy, with a great sweet & sour sauce on the side. Also appreciated the small touches: utensils, napkins, and even to-go containers are all in the drawer under the table--super convenient. Great spot for a casual meal that doesn't disappoint. 4.5/5

Came back to my regular spot as I was in the area. Fortunately, today was not super busy in the restaurant. We got seated right away and food came out really quick. Got our regular black bean noodles and felt like trying their seafood noodle soup again. I definitely much prefer the black bean noodles. So probably in the future will stick to that instead of the seafood noodles. Location was not too loud and they played some kpop. Good tip for people visiting they started giving out stamp cards, but you do have to ask for it. I unfortunately, do not recommend their shrimp. Compared to the sweet and sour pork for the price I would just get much more pork. We always get this sauce on the side for the pork as the portion is quite large and it makes bringing it home easier as the meat won't get super soggy. I say order either the regular black bean noodles or the spicy black bean noodles add one side of either sweet and sour pork or the chili chicken and have a great meal for pretty cheap!

Easy 5 stars. Everything we ate was delicious with amazing taste and texture. Black bean noodles were nice and chewy and lots of toppings. The fried pork was fresh and crispy. Sauce is sweet so order it on the side. The egg garnish was delicate and silky smooth. The tea is an enjoyable aromatic rice tea. Service is also friendly, and ordering was easy with the tablet. 5 star experience!

I can't believe it took me so long to visit this restaurant! Paik's Noodle serves up a curated menu of classic Chinese-Korean dishes at an incredible price for the portion sizes. Smaller menu selection but definitely worth the visit. Our top pick was the jjampong--noodles in a rich, slightly spicy seafood broth. Heals heaps of seafood in each bite and noodles to slurp up. The depth of flavour was amazing - just make sure to eat this quickly or else those noodles will swell. In 2nd place comes the tangsuyuk--crispy battered fried pork with a sweet & sour sauce. You can opt for sauce on the side to dip or poured over (in retrospect, I would've gone with dipping bc it keeps the pork super crispy!). If you're used to Chinese sweet & sour pork, this is very similar except the sauce doesn't contain ketchup. Lastly, the jjajangmyeon--chewy noodles covered in a black bean sauce. For the non-seafood fans who want something savoury & non-spicy to slurp down. We found that adding some red pepper powder and eating it with the pickled radish helped add more depth to the flavour profile.

Had lunch at Paik's Noodle today and ordered the tangsuyuk and jajangmyeon (for 2 people). Overall, the food was great! The tangsuyuk was perfectly crispy on the outside, yet soft and chewy in the middle - just the right texture. The jajangmyeon had a nice light flavour that paired well with the tangsuyuk. Service-wise, the wait (about 30 minutes) was fairly organized for a snowy day, but there were some minor hiccups. We didn't get tea/water right away, and another table that arrived after us received their food first. Not a huge issue, but a little more attention to timing would have made the experience smoother. That said, the quality of the food definitely makes this place worth visiting. I'd come back for another meal!

Have enjoyed both the jjajangmyeon and jamppong from this place. The oriental chicken is also decent but I've had better ones somewhere else. The amount of food is decent for the price and tastes good as well, very consistent. Service is quick and food came out quickly as well. So it's kind of like a fast food place. I like that they provide an apron as well.

This place blew up after the TV show culinary wars. I came here for lunch and it was so busy! Waited almost 45 minutes for a table. The food was delicious as expected. The flavours and portions were perfect. Hope they expand soon because can definitely see potential.

Judge Paik's restaurant has actually been opened for 2 years in Toronto, and it is now blowing up since that CRAZY intense Culinary Class Wars Korean cooking show aired on Netflix! Prices were super afforable here! We came here on a Thursday night, about an hour before closing, and only had a few tables available. The place was busy, and the staff were friendly and courteous! There is a Korean button on the iPad for service but I think they turned it off near end of night, so we end up having to flag them down lol. My friend and I shared the following: Jjamppong 海鮮辣湯面 (we ordered less spicy), Jajangmyeon 炸醬面 (huge portions; my favourite!), Sweet & Sour Pork 糖醋里脊 (crispy; meat was a bit tough; we asked for sauce on the side but not a fan of the sauce, sorry!), and the Deep Fried Buns 炸饅頭 (definity a must-order!)

Great food and great service with excellent user experience with bibs and shirt coverings

Was pretty excited to try this restaurant out since it became so popular. Got a table reasonably quick and sat down to look at the menu. Menu had a nice variety of classic Korean dishes so we ordered the typical dishes: black bean noodles, tangsuyuk, yuringi, a noodle dish and a fried rice dish. The best by far was the yuringi and the black bean noodle, otherwise the rest were very average. The portion for each dish was quite large and the food came out quickly. The servers were very friendly and nice! All in all, would come back again but will try other things on the menu next time!

We went at 5pm on a Sunday for an early dinner. Surprisingly not busy and we got a table right away. We had high expectations based on the hype around this place. We expected to be blown away by the food but the food was just normal. It was good. We love how chewy the jjajangmyeon was. The tangsuyuk was chewy which was nice but wished the batter wasn't so thick. The yuringi was everyone's fav and it was gone very quick. Fried rice was mediocre, nothing special. Overall a good dining experience when craving for Korean-chinese food. We got seated in the booth area which was perfect to contain my toddler from running around. Restaurant was quite spacious.

Came here because of the Netflix show culinary wars (duh!) but definitely coming back for the food. The food is really authentic and the portions are pretty big!

It is so satisfactory meal every time I visited there. Good portion and favourable authentic Korean-Chinese food :) There was a line up due to the popularity of Mr.Paik from the famous Netflix show 'Culinary Class War'. Despite of the crowd the food quality was consistent if not better. I brought my friend who's never been to this restaurant, and he was so happy about the experience! Such a delightful lunch there :)

After watching Culinary Class Wars, I had to get my fill of Korean food. This is my first time at this location. I've been to two of the locations in Bay Area, CA and the food consistently hits and is reasonably priced. I always have to get the Jjamppong - seafood noodle soup! It has this smoky flavor that I love. This restaurant has a lot of tables and the place is clean. Also the staff is really friendly. The service makes it seem like you're eating at a relative's house rather than a restaurant.

I cannot speak highly enough of this place! I started coming here about a year and a half ago, and have been back every couple months ever since. The prices are unmatched, and the portion sizes are really great. My go-to order for sharing is Jjampong, the Jajang Dupbap and the small Tangsuyuk. This ensures that you get to try a little bit of everything! However, I have branched out and tried other dishes, and they are all consistent and delicious. I would say the MUST TRY dish is Jjampong, as the soup is packed with a smoky seafood flavour. Their noodles in general have such a delicate, chewy texture that is addicting to eat! They often have new additions or limited time menu items as well which keeps the place fresh. I also like that they have drawers in their tables to get napkins, cutlery, etc. The service here is fast, but don't expect anything too welcoming. The staff work hard and fast to provide a good restaurant experience! Lastly, the restaurant is big, and although it is busy, the turnaround time is fast! Please try this if you haven't already because of Culinary Class Wars! ;)

Like many others, we decided to check out Paik's Noodle after watching Culinary Class Wars. The restaurant was bustling on Saturday evening - we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table for 4. There were iPads at every table for ordering, reminiscent of Korea. We ordered the jjamppong, jangban jajang, tangsuyuk, and gochu yuringi. The seafood soup was my favourite, followed by the fried chicken. The black bean noodles were a bit too sweet. Portions were quite large for the price, so you can probably get away with ordering the smallest size of each dish. They also had a promotion where you could get a free item by posting a Google review. We were able to get some fried buns to finish off our meal. I didn't have super high expectations from Paik's restaurant, but I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here!

PAIK'S NOODLE . . Located in Thornhill Paik's Noodle has been swarmed with people because of the hit show Culinary Class Wars. They serve jjampong, jajangmyeon and other dishes as well. We arrived around 5:50pm on a Saturday and there was a line already. You order your dishes on a tablet and grab your own utensils in the drawers. . . Jjampong 3.75/5 Jajangmyeon 3/5 . . Honestly the noodles did not 'wow' me. I've had better noodles at different restaurants where the noodle was way more chewier. The noodles here almost tasted like spaghetti. Out of the two I enjoyed the jjampong more as it was more flavourful. The prices and portions are appealing though so that's probably why it draws huge crowds.

After watching the Netflix show "Culinary Class War", I was wondering if we can find any chefs' restaurants in GTA. I did find Paik Jong Won, one of the two judges, has a noodle restaurant in North York! I also found that it has already been extremely famous and popular since it was opened in 2022, especially among the Korean population. I just did not pay attention to Korean shows before, lol. There is a part in that famous show where the judges taste food with their eyes masked, so they put a black garbage bag on Paik Jong Won's poster on their storefront. It's hilarious. It serves Korean Chinese food. Chinese food was brought by Chinese immigration to the Korean region and eventually adapted to have its unique style. The dishes are generally more sweet than traditional Chinese food. We ordered 4 dishes, Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong, Sweet and Sour Pork and Lemon Chicken. We ENJOYED them very much! They were too good to be true. The two noodles were full of strong Wok Hei. The other two fried dishes were very crispy and tender. The quality isn't like a chain restaurant. I'll invite other friends to come with us very soon!

I have to admit I've been binge watching Culinary Class wars. As the first season ended, I am already missing the reality Korean cooking reality competition series. As I am waiting for the next season...Tonight I have to check out Paik's noodles. This is not a new resturant but I am sure the volume of customers increase after the Culinary Class Wars. Nothing is better on a Friday night eating a bowl of delicious black bean noodle, the texture was just right and not too salty and the right amount of pork only for $8.99 along with some chestnut Makgeolli! The chestnut Makgeolli was so good. The chestnut flavour was just enough and not too strong. Service was friendly and fast. Love the vibe. Definitely brings back good memories from my trips to Seoul! The Jjamppong 짬뽕 海鲜辣汤面-Spicy Seafood noodle soup with pork and fresh vegetables. You can select your level of how spicy- three levels. I chose the normal spicy level. I can take spicy but for those who can't, maybe go one level down to less spicy. Overall, everything was good, I will come back again!

Have been wanting to check out Paik's Noodle for a while so I came here this evening. I was able to get a table right away, as it wasn't super busy. However, this restaurant had a steady flow of customers throughout the time we were there. Service was always efficient and courteous. Ordering is easy and done electronically. We ordered the chilli shrimp, and the jajang. We upsized for $2. Totally worth it, as the portion was pretty big. My friend and I shared and had some leftover to take home. The chilli shrimp was yummy, with light crispy coating and sweet chilli sauce. The jajang was super tasty as well. I will definitely return and try their other dishes.

This spot has been going viral due to chef Paik, but I'm so glad that the food lived up to the hype! Arrived here on a Wednesday evening and it was packed, but luckily there was no wait. The service was fast, efficient, and everyone was super kind despite it being busy. We got the classic jajangmyeon, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk to try, and all of the dishes were really yummy. I was super impressed by the jjamppong, which had a fresh seafood flavour and the perfect amount of spice (which you can choose yourself!). For $15.99, the portion is HUGE and can feed a whole family! Due to the restaurant being so busy I found it quite noisy though, so perhaps next time I'd opt for takeout.

Back again and this place was packed! Customer service was excellent as always and food came out super quickly. Do a Google review for them and you can get your choice of own free pop or flower buns.

Ever since watching Chef Paik on Culinary Class Wars, I've been eager to visit his Korean-Chinese restaurant, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We visited on a Saturday night with a group of six around 8 PM and were pleasantly surprised to get a table within just 15 minutes. They don't allow reservations in advance but when you arrive, you're given a buzzer while you wait. The restaurant's service is fast and efficient, thanks to the handy tablets on the tables that allow you to order food, request refills (like tea), or call for the bill. Even the cutlery is thoughtfully stored at the side of the table for easy access. We ordered a variety of dishes to share: 1) Jjamppong: spicy seafood noodle soup with pork and vegetables 2) Jajang: noodles with black bean sauce 3) Bokkeum Jjamppong: stir-fried spicy seafood noodles with pork and vegetables 4) Tangsuyuk: sweet and sour pork 5) Gochu Yuringi: deep-fried chicken with sweet and sour soy sauce and chili peppers 6) Deep-fried dumplings 7) beef fried rice Every single dish was delicious and packed with flavour, but the unanimous favourites were the Jjamppong, Jajang noodles, and Gochu Yuringi. The Jjamppong had just the right balance of spice, seafood, and hearty broth, while the Jajang noodles were rich and satisfying with a perfectly velvety black bean sauce. The Gochu Yuringi stood out with its crispy texture. I also appreciated the ability to customize spice levels via the tablet, allowing everyone in our group to tailor the dishes to their preference. What makes this spot unique is how it blends Korean and Chinese flavours seamlessly, offering a refreshing twist from the traditional Korean fare. Whether you're a fan of Chef Paik or just looking for bold and flavourful dishes, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Yes we are watching Culinary Wars on Netflix so naturally yes, we wanted to eat here when we heard this restaurant was started by one of the judges. Location is unexpected...strip mall on Steeles, west of Bayview. Food is Korean Chinese so think black bean noodles, sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk) and fried rice and noodles. Menu is limited to noodles, rice and main dishes. Also good selection of soju. Interior setup is spacious with tables spaced out nicely. Each table has a pad where you place your order. Server brings plates, cups and barley tea. Cutlery, napkins and condiments can be found in a little drawer at the side of the table. Tangsuyuk was amazing! We ordered it with the sauce on the side which allowed us to try the meat freshly deep fried. We also ordered the Jjamppong with noodles which had a nice level of wok smokiness or 'wok hey'. Comes with 3 different spice levels but even at less spicy the dish had kick. Generous portions of mussels and squid. Service was quick and attentive. For a Wednesday night the place filled up nicely by 6:30. Good experience!

It was pretty delicious - small menu but they do them well! I loved ordering on the device and having everything I needed in the drawers below the table top. The food was delicious and well done. Great space - fun for a large party to eat out!

Use to come here b4 it was crazy popular. I guess it's a win win scenario so they can do well while we have to wait a bit for a seat now. The food is great. Menu is small but quality is there. Service is quick and nice. Place is roomy and clean. And prices are reasonable. If u like Korean then u need to come try it.

Food was excellent. They're known for their black bean noodles, which we really enjoyed. The jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) was our favourite though - I highly recommend it!

Nice place serving Korean Chinese options. They have lots of tables, but they also get really busy, so plan around that. Every table comes with a tablet for ordering, which is a nice touch. Also has drawers on the side where the utensils and aprons are. Yes, aprons. Prices are pretty good for the portions you get and the taste is also decent.

Started off the new year by coming to Paik's as we wanted to try as well as referred by a good buddy of mine. My wife and I were deciding on what to eat as we wanted to try something we haven't tried yet. So we got here and gotten a seat right away. We sat down with a tablet next to us, and we browsed thru their menu. I like what they offer as it's very streamlined. No excessive variation of the same type of food. We decided on the few things shown in my pictures. Food came out in literally minutes after order placed, piping hot. We like! And we liked the flavour and texture of the noodle dishes. Also the ambiance is lovely, lots of people and great service from the team. Highly recommended! Only thing I want to give a feedback on is maybe the sauce with the pork was very sour? But it is our first time here and also first time eating out in a few months. But yeah this place is great!

One of my favorite restaurant! Their stir-fried black bean noodle is delicious! Deep fried flower bun is a must try. Deep fried pork or the chicken goes well with the sweet and sour sauce, I recommend sauce on the side. My second time already and will be back whenever I crave for some noods.

Came here on a weekend and it was pretty busy as I had to wait in line for a while. Food was standard good Korean Chinese food. Wouldn't say it was anything special but prices were reasonable and it was quick. Service was quick and efficient. Tables are a bit close together and the seats weren't very comfortable. However I liked how each table had its own monitor to order as it was a lot more efficient and is good for people who want to see pictures (language can be changed too).

We were in the mood for some Korean food and decided to give Paik's Noodle a try. The restaurant is quite large. We were expecting it to be busy but we lucked out and it was quite quiet at 1:30 pm on a Saturday afternoon. Once seated you place your order electronically on a screen at each table, which was easy to do. The service was quick and attentive. The dishes we tried were all very good. The portions were quite large and we had to pack up a lot of leftovers. I wouldn't think twice to eat again next time we are in the area.

Black bean noodles is good and affordable! Only $9 service is good too, staffs are friendly. People say it's opened by the Korean version of " Gordon Ramsay"

Since the celebrity's cooking show went viral, we were curious to try the noodles in-person. First of all, the dishes on the menu somehow looks very similar to Chinese Food and even their website advertised what type of food they were serving. Orders and requests were placed via a self-serve tablet at each table (smart!) but the menu items were very limited and honestly in my opinion, if you're there for the Korean noodles, then just stick to the noodles because I'm definitely not a huge fan of the fried flower buns in condensed milk and if you're having one bowl of regular sized noodles on your own, you really don't need the extra dough to fill you up because the portions of their dishes here are quite generous. If you enjoy spicier noodles with a "slow" burn, then definitely try their Gochu Jajang noodles topped chopped jalapenos and green onion, it was delicious compared to their regular jajangmyeon (but only if you can take spicy). Lots of parking space in the plaza but other than coming here for noodles, I barely came to this plaza. Would come back again & try their stir fry dishes next time!

A friend suggested Paik's Noodles for dinner, and now I am making this suggestion to you. Paik is owned by the famous South Korean chef, Paik Jong Won. That's just a bit of trivia. We ordered: Tang Suyuk, a battered pork dish with vegetables. If you think Korean dishes are spicy, well, this one isn't. The batter for the pork wasn't greasy, and the meat was tender. Black bean noodles. So I have seen this dish being featured plenty of time in kdrama, and finally got to taste it. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was without being salty. It was perfect. Spicy noodle soup. This was my favourite dish. You can get different spice levels, and we chose regular, which wasn't spicy for me, but had a kick to it. The soup tasted wonderful. It's got a myriad of flavours that meshed well together. Fried dumplings. This is OK for me. There's not much flavours to it. Pear juice. Tastes just like a pear! The service was extremely fast. And the place was nice and spacious. Looking forward to going back.

Note: takeout order only has I knew this place would have a lineup due to it being on a TV show. It's tucked away in a neighbourhood plaza with an LCBO Ordered: black bean noodles (large portion), tang su yuk Taste wise: very yummy. Authentic flavour. Tang su yuk was super tangy which helped cut the grease. We brought our food home in an insulated bag so it was still warm after our short drive home. Quick tip: reheat your tang su yuk in an air fryer and then add the separate sauce or dip! Jajangmyun hit the spot and had a mixture of veggies and seafood. A smidge oilier than what I like but the taste was authentic and they gave yellow radish on the side. Would order again. They also have classics like seafood stew, rice and more fried Korean dishes. Easy ordering and easy pickup. Just what I like.

Three and a half? The champpong was good, broth was smoky from charred cabbage which was also good... but I felt like it lacked something? I also got take out of tangsuyuuk and friend champpong. They were just okay. It is very affordable. I'd like to try the chajangmyun for a litmus test.

Paik's Noodle knows it niche, and it is amazing Jangmyeon, Tangsuyuk and Jjampong. They have a very small menu, so you know what they deliver is going to be consistent and good. The Jangmyeon was delicious, with a thick black bean sauce that coats the noodles evenly and doesn't drip off. Loved all the ingredients in the sauce, as it provided great texture to the dish. We were able to order the Tangsuyuk with the sauce on the side, so it stayed crispy even until the end of the meal. Great touch to a great dish. The location is in a small strip mall seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but its worth the trip to satisfy the Jangmyeon craving. Service is quick and friendly. Protip is that there are red aprons in the last drawer of the table to protect your clothes from any potential sauce splashes.

if you are into Korean food, culture, kpop or kdramas at all, then surely you know celebrity chef Paik Jong Won. i've been meaning to try this place ever since they opened in Toronto, especially knowing how famous him and his restaurants are! Paik's Noodles specializes in Korean-Chinese dishes, such as black bean noodle (jajangmyeon), sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk) and spicy seafood noodle soup (jjamppong). i tried all three dishes from here, and loved how affordable and filling they are! each dish can come in different sizes at different price points, and you can adjust the spicy level in the spicy seafood noodle soup. this is a great spot to bring friends and family, especially since they have shareable dishes and something for everyone i personally really liked the black bean noodle and sweet & sour pork. we got the sauce on the side for the pork so that it would be extra crispy and it definitely didn't disappoint if you're ever in the area, i would recommend visiting and trying out this famous chefs restaurant here in Toronto!

It's been really hard to find a restaurant that can serve a decent Jjamppong in the GTA. When I heard that Paik's Noodles was opening a location in Toronto, I was excited. In South Korea, this restaurant is more commonly known as Hong Kong Banjum 0410 and their best dish is their Jjamppong. I was excited to visit this place. It's located on Steeles near Bayview in North York. It's inside a big plaza with ample parking. The restaurant inside is spacious and bright. You order using an iPad so service is minimal but efficient. You find utensils, napkins and even smocks in your table so there's no need to call your waiter/waitress. There's also a small tin waste bucket for your food waste on your table. We ordered the Gochu Jjamppong, Jjajangmyun, Jjajang Bab and Tangsuyuk. The Jjamppong was really good with a really high heat level. Order this dish at your own risk. The Jjajangmyun was a bit on the sweeter side for me but had a great consistency. The Tangsuyuk was breaded and fried evenly and crispy. My visit did not disappoint.
