Paik's Noodle / 홍콩반점 산호세

We got there late (8:07 PM with an 8:30 close!) and they still served us without hesitation you almost never see that kind of service these days. The portions are huge for the price, and the taste is actually insane. I'm not exaggerating when I say l've been eating my whole life, but I've never tasted food that has this kind of perfectly balanced, explosive flavor profile. I forgot the name of the guy who served us, but he gave us 3 FREE JAJANGMYEON SAUCE!

Really enjoyed the jajangmyeon here! Probably the best jajangmyeon I’ve tried in the States! The portion size is generous for the price, and the flavors are spot on. The black bean sauce is lighter than the traditional version, which I actually prefer—it feels less heavy but still very flavorful. The noodles have a great chewy texture, just the way they should be. Meat is tender and flavourful as well! The sweet and sour pork was crispy and served in a very generous portion. The stir-fried noodles are satisfying with lots of ingredients. Seasoning is light and spot on! The jjamppong and Gunmandu (deep fried pork dumplings) were a hit and miss.

The seafood noodle is good but not unique. The sweet and sour pork seem a popular dish, is cooked differently, crispy and chewy at the same time, the sauce is spicy, it is very good. Jjajang (black bean sauce) noodles cooked with the right tenderness . I am not into jjajang noodle but will come back for this. Worth visiting just for the Jjajang noodle .

Wonderful cheap eat! Original jajiangmyeon single serving is under 11usd Comes with pickled daikon. Noodles are chewy, serving sizes are generous. Minimal decoration, but homey. Oh, get the free bib, sauce tends to fly everywhere when you slurp!

Delicious authentic Korean food is served at this restaurant in Santa Clara. We tried the Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong, and the sweet and sour pork. The Jajangmyeon is a must-try! Although the sweet and sour pork is popular, it wasn’t my favorite. Fast and efficient service. Very small free parking lot that fills up quickly.

Baek’s Noodle is the place to really taste that smoky flavor. The Spicy Jjamppong, Meat Jjajang, and Stir-fried Jjajang are all excellent choices. The only letdown was the Sweet and Sour Pork — the batter’s texture wasn’t great.

We ordered the jajangmyeon and the jjampong and they came super quick. The noodles used in the dishes were extremely chewy, which was a noodle type I had never had before. Takes a lot of chewing so just keep that in mind. Otherwise, the jajangmyeon was savory and had lots of vegetables, the jjampong had plenty of tender seafood and the complimentary radish wasn't too sweet like the kind you usually purchase at the store. I do wish there were the traditional cucumbers on top of the jajangmyeon though, as it was a little oily and heavy after a while. Prices are great, portions are large, even for the regular size. However, the location isn't the most ideal and the parking lot is small. They were also blaring music inside which was quite overstimulating during our meal.
