Paik's Noodle is the newest Korean food chain to open in Oregon. Located behind Washington Square Mall in Tigard. Even on a Sunday evening around 4:30 pm (dinner opening-time), there were already 24 people on the waitlist. Fortunately, our names were called before 5 pm, which was a pleasant surprise.
Paik's Noodle offered a limited menu with a few entree choices. We ordered the Jajangmyeon, Jajangmyeon with Egg Omelet, and Sweet & Sour Pork with sweet and sour sauce on the side. The total bill, including tip, was $43.00, which is an affordable price for the generous portions.
The Jajangmyeon was a highlight, with a nice noodle texture and flavorful sauce, although it could have used more seasoning. The egg omelet with Jajangmyeon sauce was a tasty combination, and it came with a side of Jjamppong soup. The Sweet & Sour Pork was a bit disappointing, as it could have been crisper and more flavorful.
Overall, our experience was pleasant. The servers were well-trained, fast, and attentive, and the restaurant space was clean. The portion sizes were decently sized for the price, making it a great option for those craving Jajangmyeon. I'm forward in coming back soon!
