"Metro Denver’s home to a few commendable Korean fried-chicken joints, including this satellite of an overseas franchise, which does a bang-up job with a quintet of styles — from the sweet-and-spicy yang-nyum to the tangy padak drizzled in soy-mustard sauce beneath a tangle of scallions. Every order comes with coleslaw and pickled daikon, but a side of rice cakes or fries sprinkled with powdered cheddar and honey butter make for a nifty change of pace — as does a bottle of yogurt-flavored soju." - Lucy Beaugard, Paul Albani-Burgio, Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

Seriously one of the best Korean fried chicken I have ever had. Their honey butter chicken is the perfect blend of smooth buttery sweetness. Fresh hot crispy outer breading is just the right amount of crunch, leaving the chicken juicy and tender. Definitely recommend. If I lived closer I’d eat here every day! 11/10 would eat again!

Got the wings and boneless chicken. The boneless chicken is huge. We got a small for both, which is 10 pieces. Good amount for the price in my opinion. I highly recommend the soy garlic. It's tangy and flavorful. The garlic isn't overwhelming. We went on a weekday and we were the only people there. I would definitely go back!

Today was my first time here and I only went because the Mexican place across from it was closed. I ordered the half portion of Vons special sauce with a mix of drums and wings. It came out to over $18 after tax for just the half portion of wings. The sauce was perfectly sweet, sticky and mildly spicy. The chicken was cooked well. It comes with a side of Cole slaw and pickled radish. Great flavor. Quite expensive as the menu prices are higher than what was posted. Customer service was good. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

Rice cakes were so good! Crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle 🤤 the sauce was delicious and spicy! I've had them at quite a few places as well as at home but these are now my fav! This is for sure the best Korean fried chicken in Colorado. We had the red burn oven and honey butter fried. Both were exceptionally flavourful and juicy! They serve good quality chicken here, no weird pieces or flavor. Can't wait to come back to try the other flavors 😊

As a Korean person, this place has pretty close to Korean fried chicken. I have tried many places and this one is my go-to now. The honey butter is quite recent for Korean flavor as well and this place does it right. Be careful if you are ordering the spicy soy sauce chicken because it can be very spicy. Delicious and the amount is just perfect! Also, the boneless chicken is really easy to eat and super good. It's hard to find good Korean style boneless chicken but this place does it right. The picture includes honey butter, soy sauce, green onion chicken. All super tasty and I want more.

It’s consistently been quality food every time I’ve been. Maybe a bit underrated but it is much better than the other Korean fried chicken places in Aurora. I recently tried the oven baked chicken and it’s pretty good!

This place is the best korean fried chicken joint in colorado. The food was good except the honey butter chicken its just wasnt to my liking but thats not their fault. It tasted like kettle corn seasoning on chicken and it wasnt to my liking but the rest was good. Ive tried the other korean fried chicken places and this one is the best by far and the one ill be going to from now on.

The chicken is absolutely delicious! Moist chicken and a great crunch with every bite! It’s a bit sad that it’s very slow every time we come. It’s not a cheap place though either. Absolutely worth the price though! The sides are okay. The rice cakes are definitely the best option or the kimchi fried rice. We’ll be back!

I've heard about this place for a while and we decided to go for a weekday dinner cause I was craving some black bean noodles. There weren't many people when we got there at 6pm but more people came in after while we were eating. We were sat down quickly and they took our orders pretty quickly as well. We got a tea and aprons to wear so our clothes wouldn't get dirty which was a pleasant surprise! We got bokkeummyeon (stir fried noodles with seafood and oyster sauce for $13.95), Hong Kong Wings in Soy & Garlic Sauce (5 piece but they gave us 6!! For $9.10), Jajangmyeon (black bean noodles for $10.95). The stir fried noodles were really good! It's similar to lomein and they give you a lot of seafood and noodles in there. We took some of this home cause we were stuffed after we finished the wings and black bean noodles. You can't go wrong with soy garlic wings. These were crispy and had good flavor to them! I've never had black bean noodles at a restaurant. I've made them following recipes online and the instant version and this was pretty good! You get some pickled radish, raw onions, and some more black bean paste on the side. The pickled radish was a nice pallette cleanser while eating this! I had a great time honestly and the workers were quick and nice. You go to the counter to checkout as well but it was a great experience overall!

I've been to a location in Utah a couple of years ago, and reeeeaaaally enjoyed it. The chef behind this chain is famous in Korea and my mom watches all of his cooking videos on youtube and attempts to make them herself when she can. The food is probably some of the better "korean-chinese" food restaurants that I've been to. My friends and decided to eat family style because the most important dishes have to be: Sweet and sour pork, jjampong, and jjajangmyeon. I would recommend that you eat all 3 at these type of places! It was clean and there was a decent amount of seating. The service was professional and got us everything that we needed. My favorite thing that I ate would have to be the sweet & sour pork (you can pour the sauce on top or dip...dipping is the only correct way, lol.) It was lighter than most batters used for this and I really enjoyed it. Something that I wasn't a fan of was the sweet and spicy chili shrimp-it wasn't spicy at all and was too sweet. The sauce was drenched into the breading and it wasn't that great. This place wasn't as good as the location I went to Utah, but I'm still super happy that we've got one in Colorado because it's still pretty decent. Hope to come here again sometime.

I have enjoyed Korean Chinese food in Seoul and this is definitely up there with the places I've eaten at. Delicious jajangmyeon and great tangsuyuk. Prices are fair and portions are good. The restaurant definitely needs some love. Head over there if you love good Korean and Chinese fusion. Waitress was nice. I would try their fried rice and their other noodles in the future as well as the chicken wings or spicy chicken. Recommend!

Casual open space vibe. OK service. Good Koreanized chinese food. Used to be more affordable but price went up. Menu got more variety.

This is a popular chain in Korea founded by a famous chef. Staff is friendly and kind. This was Vons Chicken before so it's spacious with plenty of seating. It's great for solo eating, couples, or large parties. The black bean noodles was delicious and good to share between two people. The photo had cucumbers but ours came out with peas. I'm glad they did not overwhelm the dish with veggies. It's a good amount of pork given to you. The dumpling and mayo shrimp was good but I don't remember it too much. The wings were delicious. They're not spicy but enough flavor and taste. The sweet and sour pork was tasty and one of the best I've had in Colorado. The batter and flour that they used made the pork fluffy like. I like the sauce comes separate so the pork doesn't become soggy from the sauce. Overall a nice edition.

We decided to try this place with all the hype on the Chef but food was not what I expected. We ordered tangsuyuk, meat jja jjang myun and Khan pphong-gi. Ttangsuyuk batter was light and crispy but sauce had a weird taste, slightly sweet but off. Jja jjang myun was ok but the khan pphong gi was soggy and just tasted like gochujjang. Normally it is crispy battered fried chicken with veggies and the mushrooms just threw it off too. We can say we tried this place but try for your own. Our waitress was nice.

I'm always excited when I see Koreanized Chinese food restaurants open. I had mixed feelings about whether to expect something amazing or something terrible. The expectation of something amazing comes from the man that is plastered all over the walls in the restaurant. He is probably the foremost food celebrity in Korea and produced some of my favorite food documentaries. Would he dare stake his reputation on anything other than excellence in the food industry? The expectation of something terrible comes from the fact that I've only had good Koreanized Chinese food from Chinese chefs who developed their career in Korea. A chain? Hopefully it was not going to be just a random, run-of-the-mill line cook in the kitchen. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted, seated, and presented with menus. The inside was nicely decorated and clean. The area next to the cashier station, however, was in stark contrast to the rest of the place and looked kind of sloppily thrown together. We ordered the 4 basic dishes that all restaurants of this type are judged on: jja jjang myeon (black sauce noodle), jjam bbong (spicy soup noodle), tang soo yook (sweet and sour pork), and fried rice. Dishes came out as they were completed, with tang soo yook coming out first. This is very typical, normal, and almost expected for these restaurants. You don't get everything at once when ordering a variety of dishes because they are avoiding a situation where things sit under a heat lamp forever. The jja jjang myeon was absolutely delicious and is very close to being as good as I can imagine it to be. The noodles were perfection (size, texture, flavor) and the sauce was so flavorful and wonderful. The cuts on the ingredients were just the right size, the sauce was not too thick, nor too watery. My only nitpick was the quality of the pork. There was the slightest hint that it wasn't the absolute top quality meat. Still good, but this is what could improve. If jja jjang myeon was the only item on their menu, then I wouldn't really have a choice but to give a 5 star review, though I would point out and complain about missing the other staples. The tang soo yook had good and bad. The pork itself was not the best quality and the sauce was too sweet with some weird, extra processed flavor going on. The coating on the pork seemed to be perfect, but as soon as we put the sauce on it, it instantly started losing the crisp factor and started becoming chewy. Jjam bbong was kind of okay. The noodles were perfect, but the seafood was average and the broth was also sort of average. The pork in this dish was especially unimpressive, as the lower quality taste of it seemed to be fully expressed in this dish. Finally, the fried rice. Their only options were vegetarian and shrimp. I was hoping for combination meat, but strangely that wasn't an option. It had that classic Koreanized Chinese flavor in it, but I wasn't impressed with anything else about it. When executed well, this dish can be outright addicting. The fried rice here was about what i would expect at the cheapest, most careless Koreanized Chinese restaurants. This one felt extra greasy, as if butter or too much oil were added. At least it didn't taste bad, I guess. To sum it up, their noodles are a perfection that is not often achieved by their peers. The quality of pork flavor left much to be desired. The jja jjang myeon was excellent. Everything else was a average to below average, and frankly disappointing compared to their jja jjang myeon. 3 star overall, but I will absolutely come back for their 5 star jja jjang myeon. For everything else, I have a short list of other places in Denver to get those items.

The restaurant was pretty empty on a Tuesday evening. Prices are very affordable and portions are huge - enough to feed two people. I tried the jjampong - seafood noodles - and requested they be extra spicy. It was delicious! The noodles were phenomenal, seafood was good, and my only bone to pick is that the pork was a bit dry and not as tender. The staff are super nice. I'd definitely come again!

James M.

Yelp
Very good flavors. I will look forward to trying more of the menu soon. Their kitchen closes before their posted closing time. I was disappointed the first time when I arrived 80 minutes before their closing, and was told, the kitchen is closed. The second time, I showed up 400 minutes before closing to enjoy this meal.

Yelp
Jaeng ban jja jang is my favorite menu and price is also really good. We go there about once a month. This dish comes in big plate. Enough for two people if you dont eat alot. $20 and has lots of squids and some pork. I personally dont like the taste of pork but seafood, sauce, and noodles are good!

Kevin W.

Yelp
I love a good Jajangmyeon, it just just hits the spot really well. My go to is Yong Gung, but Paik's Noodle is going to be my top spot now just because the prices are great and portions are huge! With inflation and rising prices, it's pretty rare to find a meal at $11. The noodles had a great chew and firmness to them the black bean sauce was very tasty. The black beans, pork, cabbage and onions all blended well. As usual you get sides of radish and onions, which were great palate cleansers after each bite. I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for good black bean noodles!

Minji K.

Yelp
Love at first sight. I traveled to South Korea three weeks ago and was in dire need of a jajangmyeon fix. This place definitely hit the spot! The tangsuyuk was a little too crispy to my preferred liking but it was still tasty! Will be back next week literally to try their jjampong next!

Patrick B.

Yelp
// Summary I have found my favorite place for jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle)! // Experience I ordered the jjajangmeyon and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). The jjajangmyeon was delicious, as it came pretty close to the quality of the things that I've had in various K-towns and other Korean restaurants in California. Now the tangsuyuk wasn't terrible, but it wasn't "blow my mind" awesome. I think part of it might have been the texture of the pork, something with the sauce, or a combination of both - I can't quite put my finger on it. // Service Service was friendly and efficient. I got seated, and after a quick look at the menu, I was able to put in my order after I got my water. Shortly thereafter, I got my food in a reasonable amount of time. // Ambiance It's a pretty simple, no-frills restaurant. They have plenty of indoor seating with a couple of booths and several tables for couples/pairs, groups of 5-6, etc. // Convenience It's located in a plaza of sorts, and parking was super easy.

Half portion of dumpling was four which is perfect for 2 ( But the taste was very typical). Owned by korean but cooked by Mongolian. Taste was very similar with korea. Ordered Half portion of fried dumpling Jjambbong rice Jajjang noodle

Thrilled to have this JJM megachain here in the Denver area. There used to be a JJM spot in this strip mall that turned into a Pho place, and that was devastating because it was the best one in Aurora. Now, Paik's Noodle is in the location that used to be VONS Chicken with its own brand of Asian eats goodness. Is this the best JJM or JB you've ever had? It is not, but you won't regret having it. Is this the best service you've ever had as they keep up with the many people that come in? No, it is not. Is the ambiance better than every other JJM spot in Aurora right now? Yes, it is. It's brighter, looks friendlier, and cleaner than the few challengers left in the area. This is not mind-blowing JJM, but it is a good version that has been expertly tuned to appeal to the masses. If you're from a place with good Asian food and options, this feels like a little taste of home.

I consider Paik Jong Won the nicer, friendlier version of Korean Gordon Ramsey and was def excited when I heard this place opened in Aurora so we had to go try it. Restaurant itself is very spacious, with pictures of the menu and Paik cooking all over the restaurant. The menu here is pretty easy to follow, even if you're not used to the typical Chinese- Korean dishes. They have pictures and a short description of what's in each dish, which I thought was nice. Just to note, the service here isn't petfect. We were seated at a corner and the servers were constantly on the move, so it was hard for us to get their attention. It took them about 15 min, and only when who I assume to be the owner asked us if we have ordered yet and brought a server over when we told him no. We ended up ordering 3 things: the jangban Jjajang (쟁반짜장) for 2, soy and garlic Hong Kong wings and sweet and sour pork (탕수육). I wouldn't recommend the wings. We ordered the 5 piece and they were the smallest wings I've seen at a restaurant. Taste itself was ok, nothing bad but def not worth $10. My gf wanted them since it was called Hong Kong wings, but she said it wasn't anything like what you would get at Hong Kong. The sweet and sour pork is ok here, nothing too exciting for me. Batter is crispy and chewy at the same time, sort of like mochi-type of consistency. Pork itself has no flavor really, more for just the texture of the batter I suppose. The sauce here is what kills it for me. I believe they use ketchup in their sauce, which is more of a traditional style of Korean sweet and sour sauce, and the acidic tangy-ness of the ketchup is so off putting for me. The main dish, the jangban jjajang made up for their weak apps though. It's a decent portion size, although I could see a lot of people being able to finish this by themselves even though the portion states for 2. My gf and I shared it, thinking it wasn't going to be enough at first but we were pretty full when we we were done so ‍. Sauce itself has a slight kick, enough for you to feel it but not enough for you to reach for a glass of cup every other bite. Noodles are perfectly cooked for this type of dish, and the seafood in the sauce blends in well with the overall flavor of the dish. Overall, def excited to try other main dishes here. Oh and if anyone was thinking of to-go here, that isn't available right now as one of the workers told us that they are trying to master their daily system first before taking to go orders.

I was really excited when I saw that they were opening a location here. This is a chain jajangmyoen restaurant in Korea that is really popular. They are still working out the kinks, and they are not offering takeout until next month. I came here with a couple of friends. We got ss pork beef jjamppong and jajangmyeon. I love the jajangmyeon it is not overly salty. I wish though they gave you a little more as you get less compared to p&y or yonggung I personally wasn't a fan of the beef jjamppong. It was a little bland for my liking. I would stick with the original one. The highlight of this meal was definitely the tangsuyuk/ss pork! It was lite and airy and delicious. I would definitely come back for this! The service was on the slower end but we went opening day so the are still fixing and practicing. I will definitely be back as I want to try the shrimp!

Ronald Y.

Yelp
Tried out this new Korean Chinese restaurant in Aurora. Had high hopes, and I was overall satisfied. I would have to say that the best thing they have here is the Jajangmyeon (black bean noodles). This is a must get. I was craving this the most, and it def hit the spot. Also ordered Jjamppong, which I thought was pretty good and warm to the soul with a good level of spiciness. I thought these were pretty filling; I split these with one other person and we were fairly full. Their fried dumplings were crispy, but not as flavorful as I'd like. Don't think I would get again. Also got the Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), which I thought was fairly bland, even with the sauce, and the sauce itself was too sweet for my taste (honestly thought of eating the fried pork with the black bean sauce, would try this for sure). Otherwise, it's a nice, spacious restaurant. Very aesthetic and felt authentic. I think they need to work more on having a process when it comes to seating customers and cleaning up after them (saw multiple times that people were waiting cause a table was dirty and no one had gone to clean yet), but they are just starting out. Had a nice female waitress, overall service was good.

He's a whiz in the kitchen, a master of enterprise, and a television superstar. And now, Baek (or as you may also know him, Paik) Jong-won has brought one of his most toothsome restaurants to Aurora. Let's sample some Korean-Chinese goodness at Paik's Noodle. As I had mentioned a while back in previous reviews, the concept of Korean-Chinese cuisine began over a hundred years ago with the influx of Chinese immigrants to Korea (particularly, although not exclusively, to the city of Incheon). As a result of this movement, certain especially-popular dishes were brought over and tweaked to appeal more to local tastes. Paik's Noodle (sometimes also called "Hong Kong Banjeom", with the latter word meaning "spot") aims to present the quintessential Korean-Chinese culinary experience to its diners, right down to the side dishes you will see on the table. That's right - they don't have your typical banchan, opting instead for tangy Danmuji (yellow pickled radish) and sliced white onion (which is meant to be doused in vinegar, then dipped in Chunjang (bean paste) before consumption). As the saying goes, simplicity is beauty - and fewer sides means you can more fully appreciate and concentrate on the array of main dishes which will soon be arriving at your table. "OK. that's all great to know, but what do they have on the menu?", you ask. Well, I was just getting to that, so slow your roll. One of the most classic Korean-Chinese culinary specialties is Jjajangmyeon - pork in a rich soybean sauce with wheat noodles. Paik's in fact has several exquisite variations of this dish for you to try, including Jjajangbap (substituting the noodles for rice and adding a dense omelet). Another notable item in the culinary pantheon is the spicy seafood soup Jjamppong, also available several ways, including a much milder beef version. (Psst! Do you want to maximize your options? Order the Jjajangbap and you'll get a small bowl of regular Jjamppong on the side. You're welcome!). You know that mayonnaise-y shrimp dish you like to indulge in from time to time at Chinese restaurants (when you're feeling especially naughty)? They have a rendition of that here too (Mayo Saeu) for you to feast on. And I haven't even mentioned their garlic/soy chicken wings which you're sure to love. So anyway, go party with Paik.

Love having another good jjambbong + jjajang option in the area. Both staples are delicious here, and appreciated that the jjajang sauce was full of meat/veggies, without seeming to overdo the starch for artificially thickening. Wings were great too, the place is spacious and clean, and the service was super friendly. This will be part of my noodle rotation going forward.

Good food. Good prices. Friendly and attentive staff. Clean eating area. I'm thankful for a good chinese/korean restaurant in Aurora finally.

Raj P.

Yelp
The service is great but the food was below par. We had tortilla chips in the main entrée dish, KKanpung Saeu. The other dish was very bland, had to use soy sauce to get some flavor, Jaengban Jajang. I guess there are some popular dishes in the menu which we didn't try. You need to maybe stick to those particular dishes.

Sonnie N.

Yelp
The whole place is super clean and the food's delicious . So good that I went twice to make sure I tried everything I wanted before I left town. The staff are extremely nice! They gave us aprons to make sure we didn't soil our clothes and even cut up some of our food into smaller sizes! We had the jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk the first time and then the mandu, jjampong, and tangsuyuk again the second time. The single portions are big enough to share which is what my friend and I did. If I were to go again I would reorder the jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk in a heartbeat. Jjampong's good if you like a smokey seafood flavor. And dumplings are dumplings

Paik's Noodle, otherwise known as Hong Kong Banjum, has arrived and what a welcome it is. I've been to this franchise in other states, mainly in Los Angeles and when I heard a location was opening right here in Aurora, I was ecstatic and scared at the same time due to other famous franchises opening in Colorado and falling short of expectations. But, fear not! This location lives up to their name and reputation. You'll enter into an open dining hall and a welcome, vibrant setting with beautiful decor and some frames of the history of the franchise. It's nice to look at and ponder over while briefly waiting for service. The restaurant is clean cut and modern (it is brand new after all), but it's well cleaned and seeing how the staff bussed the tables gave me assurance of their cleanliness. The staff are friendly and working out some kinks as all new restaurants do at first, but service was great and welcoming. Let's move on to the cuisine. We ordered the Gochu Jjampong, Tangsuyuk, and Jaengban Jajang. If you're a lover of spice, the Gochu Jjampong is the way to go. The broth was very spicy, but so savory and was seasoned so well. The seafood inside wasn't over done and still held a great consistency and taste. The noodles are arguably the most important aspect of the dish and it was pulled and cooked perfectly. It didn't break apart, it wasn't too stringy, and absorbed just the right amount of broth to pack it with flavor. The Tangsuyuk was fried to perfection. Beautifully crispy on the inside and juicy and fluffy in the middle. Nothing to argue about how amazing each piece was. The sauce wasn't too tangy or overpoweringly sweet either. Paired great with each other. The Jaengban Jajang is a shareable dish and brought everything this restaurant stands for all together. The ever-so slightly charred flavor from the wok, the mastered noodles, and perfectly seasoned sauce with the stir fry of all the ingredients gave the final dish a unique and delicious flavor, texture, and consistency. So where are we? 1 out of 1 star for ambience. 1 out of 1 star for cleanliness. 1 out of 1 star for customer service. 2 out of 2 stars for food. With that, cheers everyone. Till next time!

I've always loved the Paik's noodle franchise and saw they opened a location in Denver !!! The food is always superb and so delicious !!! The jam pong is one of my fav and I think the soup broth taste so umami because they use a lot of seafood !!!! Also the jjiang is also super tasty with tangy noodles !!!! Super recommend if your looking for authentic Korean noodles !

Stopped by this place after my appointment. My first time ordered Jiamppong. The waitress asked if I like it spicy, I ended up with extra spicy I mean super hot . Right on point . I love it. Excellent services !!!. If you're into Korean food , I definitely recommend this place ! (Bonus: The owner came to my table twice! He asked how was the food and if it was to spicy for me. Hell no, because I love spicy food.

I'm used to the Paik's in Houston and there's a huge difference with the one here. The fried rice was soggy and bland. The jjajjangmyun was bland. The tangsooyook was fine. It's hard to mess up fried food. I was really excited to try it out but alas, quite disappointing. The service was really good though.

Came here for lunch. I got the Jjamppong and it was delicious. The noodle was perfectly cook and the spice level was perfect. The portion was very huge too. Two people could share it. Also got the fried chicken wings and the wings are very crispy. The food took a bit to serve but it's lunch time on a Saturday. The servers were very nice. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Jja jang myun and jjam ppong Noodles were over cooked, fried rice had no flavor. Tang su took was tough as a brick. Will probably never return. It's a shame because paik jong won (the guy that is pictured everywhere in the restaurant) is a pretty reputable chef in Korea

I have been to Paik's Noodle many times in California at a few different locations (Buena Park, etc). This Aurora one is the worst. Maybe the other reviewers just got lucky and I didn't. I gave it 3 stars as it is still a soft opening, so I went easy, but some things shouldn't be affected by a soft opening. (We also went at a time when there were several empty tables, so it wasn't peak time)For example: As for service, we sat down and didn't get a menu for about 10 minutes. No water either. The food came out BEFORE we got chopsticks. Once we did get water, we didn't get a refill when our bottle was empty. At least the wait staff wasn't rude. Just not attentive enough. Again, our problems arose during a non peak time. Later on in our meal, it got busy, but the whole menu and chopsticks part was during a slower time. The fried rice was very mushy and soggy. Texture of the fried rice shouldn't be affected by a soft opening. It felt like they made the fried rice, let it sit on a plate for an hour or 2 while wrapped, then wrapped it in saran wrap again, and microwaved it to death. It was the soggiest fried rice I've ever had. Kinda hard to make soggy fried rice on a wok in my experience of making fried rices. This alone made me want to give 1-star, but I'm trying to be objective. As for food, the jjajangmyeon tasted weaker than the California locations. Didn't taste the jjajang as much, but again, soft opening, so maybe that's the excuse for taste. Only good part of the whole experience was the jjamppong. I loved this restaurant in California, so this location is a huge disappointment. Still tasted better than yong gung and p&y cafe (진흥각), so whatever ... Jjajang and jjamppong are my childhood favorite meals and carry so many good memories, so I'll take what I can get here...

I have only been here once and was really impressed by the food. I had the black bean noodles and there pork dumplings, both were so full of flavor and was definitely made from scratch. I can't wait to go back to Paiks!

The food was amazing. We ordered the Jajangmyeon, black bean noodles, (one of my favorite Korean dish) and the sweet and sour pork. Definitely recommended these two dishes if you come here. The prices were great deals for the portion they serve you.
