Paik’s Noodle PCH

Located inside HMart’s food court. Self service. The beef Jjamppong was good and big portion. The JJnoodle w SSProk combo was average. Overall food was decent

Hmm… I would actually give 1.5 out of 5. I had champong and tangsooyuk. People working there were extremely nice. I had visited Paik’s Noodle quite a lot when I was in Korea. Although expectation was there, I didn’t raise my bar much because any Korean food in US wouldn’t match ones in Korea. I wouldn’t recommend champong simply because of the noodle quality. The noodle quality tasted cheap. It wasn’t chewy enough compared to other places around the area. Texture felt like one of those instant spaghetti in a can. Soup was great though. I would recommend champong-bap(rice) rather than the noodle one. Tangsooyuk was actually pretty good for me. It tasted pretty similar to the one I had in Korea. This is a reason why I give 2 stars instead of 1. However, I think the only downside was that the batter applied to meat was unbalanced. So you would taste thicker part being slightly uncooked. I would still like to to try jjajangmyeon. Hopefully it’s better the other places as other places’ threshold is pretty high.

Save yourself the disappointment—this place managed to create the worst champpong imaginable. The broth was sour, more like a leftover kimchi stew than anything close to champpong. I even complained and got a "fresh" bowl, but surprise—it tasted exactly the same. Either the chef skipped training or they think champpong is supposed to be an identity crisis in a bowl. If they can butcher their so-called signature dish this badly, I shudder to imagine what the rest of the menu tastes like.

All of the fried noodles have a great "wok hei" flavor. We enjoyed the Bokkeummyeon and Jaengban Jajang (spiciness adjusted to your preference!). Jajang Bap (Black Bean sauce omelette with rice) and Tangsuyuk (sweet sour deep fried pork) also really hit the spot for us!

A small shop inside of H Mart. I only got the jajangmian. Chewy noodles with a good amount of sauce. The wait was a bit long. But the quality of food was good. I would come back again if and when I'm in the area.

It is located in the food court of H Mart. The food is good even though it is a little bit expensive. I will try it again.

Even though it’s just a food court, the service here is terrible. The staff are unfriendly and seem completely uninterested in the customers. They were busy chatting among themselves, and because of that, the food came out very late. Very disappointing experience.
