Paik's Noodle

Tried their jajang myun and it was nothing special, just decent. It hits the spot if you’re craving it, but there’s nothing that really stands out. I also wish the jajang bap came with fried rice — that would’ve made it feel more worth it. Overall, average experience.

I ordered some 짜장면 and fried chicken. The noodles were great. However, the friend chicken wings were raw. Half of the chicken were raw. It was very pink and was severely undercooked. They weren't even busy at the time either to rush my order. Unless you want Salmonella, do not order their chicken.

I used to be a regular here, visiting once or twice a week when I first discovered it. Sadly, after a few months away, my visit today (2/9/2026) was a major letdown. The tangsu-yuk was gummy and chewy rather than crispy (without the sauce); since I live less than 5 minutes away, I know it wasn’t a travel time issue. The jajangmyeon has also changed—the portion is smaller, but more importantly, the sauce lacked the signature sweet, salty, and smoky 'fire' taste it used to have. I’ve remained a loyal customer despite the recent franchise controversies because the food was that good, but the quality just isn't there anymore, making the price point much harder to justify. I’m not sure I’ll be back.

First time having jajangmyeon here. It’s a Korean noodle with black sauce. Gotta say this gave me very good impression of Jajang-style Korean food. The service was very quick. You get pickled radish in every dish. It feels like food court style ordering. Totally recommend!

When I crave jjajangmyeon, Paik's Noodle in Buena Park is always my first choice. After visiting many times, I can confidently say they have the BEST jjajangmyeon in town. Highly recommended! This time, I also tried jjampong (spicy noodle soup with pork, squid, mussels, and vegetables). It's perfect for spicy food lovers. For entrees, I loved their sweet & sour pork and chili shrimp. Both were flavorful and crunchy. Overall, they serve generous portions, perfect for sharing, and everything is delicious. Hope you enjoy!

I love this place! I usually go for jjangmyun either regular or spicy and it's always consistent but unfortunately service, usually it is great but it's not consistent where one time the cashier is smiling and suggesting other items but sometimes I can sense the cashier wants me to rush and decide when there was no one behind me. So overall I like this place, also just a teeny suggestions if I may add is if they can have some sort of kimchi either with regular cabbage or Napa cabbage. ☺️

Tried the Jajanmen, spicy seafood noodle, and sweets & sour pork. After watching the Netflix Korean chef competition, we wanna see if the restaurant owned by the judge Paik is any good. Result is quite disappointing as everything tastes average and nothing special. The spicy seafood noodle soup has no flavor but only spice. However, the portion is generous and the price is reasonable. Unless you still want to try something new, maybe fried pork(without sweet and sour sauce) is worth a try
