The fried chicken with the peppers were super good! Very casual fast food-ish spot, portions were big, price was reasonable and service was fast. I think they make noodles from scratch, because they ended up giving us a huge bag of dough to use for kalguksu at home because they didn’t like how it turned out! Nice to know they care about quality so much!

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!

Can’t speak for atmosphere as I have yet to dine in but I always get takeout and it’s always fantastic. For real, their jajangmyun, tangsooyook, gochu yuringi, and jjamppong are so good!! I think I order weekly from there lol. I’ll post photos on my next order. By the way, all these dishes are affordable and the portions are large! I always get a large jajangmyun cuz the sauce is so rich and savoury with plenty of veggies and pork. The fried foods stay hot and crispy I don’t know how they do it. Super highly recommend!

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.

We love Paik's noodle! Their menu is very simple yet very unforgettable. The price is also budget friendly and the service is fast and friendly. They always greet you when you enter and about to leave. Lovely atmosphere. They use a tablet for you to order which is very convenient. Also, the utensils is hidden a drawer compartment at the table which is pretty cool and much more hygienic. Love their soybean noodles and fried chicken! You won't regret it! A must try!

We came to Paik's Noodle with 3 adults and 1 baby on a Friday evening. They told us over the phone that they do not take reservations as they go by a first come, first serve basis. Since the restaurant is spacious the turn around is quick. The line up moved quickly and we were seated in 15-20 mins. They were super accommodating with regard to the space and seated us at a larger table so we had room for our baby to sit in a high chair beside us and keep the stroller beside our table without it being in the way of other guests. We placed our order on the screen and the food came to us pretty fast. The menu is not extensive which is why decision-making so much easier. We ordered the black bean noodles, the white noodles, dumplings and fried chicken. All the food was so delicious and we were given separate bowls to share everything which was nice. They offer a cash discount so I recommend bringing cash with you.

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 recently tried this Korean restaurant and was really impressed! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, especially the pork dishes and side plates. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. It’s a great spot to enjoy authentic Korean food with friends or family, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Black bean noodles tastes good. Big portion and reasonable price. It’s nice that you can choose the size of the sweet and sour crispy pork. We ordered the less spicy jjamppong noodles and it’s still quite spicy for us, might try the white one instead next time

Stumble upon this restaurant when I watched the Culinary Class Wars (aka Back & White chef) from Netflix. One of the judges is the owner of this franchise so this place is a must try if you love Korean noodle dishes. The fried jampong was flavorful and the noodle texture is perfectly al dense. It has seafood such as shrimp, squid and veggies. This noodle dish is generally not spicy if you order the regular. The fried chicken was really cripsy and tender. The sauce on the side adds a good sour tangy flavour to the chicken making it more refreshing every bite. This is definitely a gem and service is amazing. All the workers are very friendly and welcoming with a great smile.

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.

Love coming to Paiks! The price is great and affordable and the food is cooked very well. I always appreciate how friendly and quick the staff are. I also love how everything is equipped on the iPad and the everything you need is right by your side already in the table! Paik's is always kept clean, and the staff keep the place happy and maintained. A definite must! Great prices and yummy food.

I thought this place was extremely delicious and extremely affordable. You must get the fried chicken and the fried pork dish. It is really to die for. I had the jiang jiang mien which was just OK. It was really hard to eat the slippery saucy noodles with metal chopsticks, but I would 1000% come back again and again for that fried chicken. It's kind of cool inside because you don't really need to interact with any of the servers as there are iPad, ordering stations at each table, so you just pick what you want and submit your order and it goes straight to the kitchen and then someone comes and delivers your food. The restaurant itself is quite big and I've heard on week ends. They have long lineups to get a seat inside because they get that busy.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!)

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Needed more rice with Ma Po Tofu. Black bean sauce and noodle was ok. Sweet and sour pork was toooooo sweet. Better if ask to have sauce separate. Overall it was ok not too satisfied with the meal. ambience was like fast food. Or food court.

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!

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).

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.
