Paik's Noodle

My cousins and I went out for dinner during my last day in Dallas at Paik's noodle in Carrollton. This noodle shop is owned my a famous Korean celebrity chef. We ordered multiple orders of jajangmyeon (black bean noodle) and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). I had the jajangmyeon many times in the past but this was my first time trying the tangsuyuk. The jajangmyeon comes with a cup of radishes, which provide some crunch and sweetness. There's a self serve station with utensils, bowls, water, scissors to cut noodles, and sauces like vinegar and chili flakes. Definitely add the vinegar and chili flakes to the jajangmyeon because they improve it a lot. The noodles were as good as I remember, they soak up the black bean sauce really well. I really liked the pork as well. They were fried to a perfect crisp, allowing it to soak up the sweet and sour sauce as well.

It was my first time visiting Paik's Noodle. It is nice and clean small restaurant. It is self serve restaurant. There is a very small counter and there is a kiosk. If you are placing your order with cash, you place your order with person at the counter but if you are using credit card, you place your order using the kiosk.The restaurant has small menu...very few items. I ordered fried potstickers and Ja jang myeon noodle. The potstickers were well fried but I did not like the filling. I would not order the potstickers again. The Ja jang myeon noodle was delicious. Whenever I am in mood for Ja jang myeon noodle again, I would come back.

The jjajangmyun was way too sweet for my liking. The jjamppong was better, but I still found it to be... a bit bland? Like it was missing something.

Paik's noodles is one of the best places in DFW to get black bean noodles (Jajangmyeon). You always have to get their Tangsuyuk and Jjamppong to go along with it. Their new fried chicken is really good! It has a sweet, little spicy soy flavor.Inside they have a kiosk machine so service is really fast. Quick place to get lunch or dinner. Everything is self-service and they clean up pretty fast too.

It's a very chill spot for a nice lunch/dinner bite. Busy every time I come in town for a craving fix! They are clean and organized! The man in the front is always so nice and polite. Took my order very fast and gave me my number. The best JJajangmyeon (black bean noodle) i ever have, and you must try tangsuyook (fried sweet sour pork) with it. Best combination together, and it's like a burst of fireworks inside your mouth. The black bean sauce is savory, perfect seasoning with meats and vegetables in it, plus fresh delicous noodles. The fried porklet is crispy and tender. Love their sweet and sour sauce. Highly recommend. Always consistently good food and decent prices for big portion. I ordered 2 bowls of jjajjangmyeon and tangsuyook that feed 5 people!

This is a great place to get your Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong or Tangsuyuk Korean Sweet and Sour Pork Fix. We are regulars that keep Paiks in our routine Korean Cuisine Fix and we live 45mils away. We are a family that has no worries driving to satisfy our tummies. Service is always pleasant. Food comes out fresh and piping hot. Only dilemma now are you a dipper or pourer. Either way would retain the crispiness, we prefer the extra crunchy texture when dipping. Dipper family here ‍

Hungry for some jja jang myun, jampong, and tang su yuk so I called up Paiks Noodle. A place that is not eat off my fingers but still satisfying enough. Or so I thought. I wondered after tasting if this place also enrolled in the "who is the owner" game that seems to be common with Korean restaurants? Apparently it did. The flavor and food is really lacking. The taste was bad for all 3 items I ordered so I guess they are consistent across their menu items. So why did I think it was not even fast food worthy?1. Jja jang myun - used to have way more pork and richer taste. This tasted like very diluted bean paste mixed with flour. Did I mention pork? Oh, and there was very little pork. 2. Jjam pong - the meat in separate container was not usual jjam pong fried pork but some type of pork. It was dry. It tasted funny like old meat. It was not jjam pong but jjam bong-ya...3. Tang su yook - again where was the pork. It was all breading. Total price $55. Ugh...Stars: 1 - Just go on a fast or eat dirt2- Crazy hungry or someone else paying3- Not bad and not great4 - Yummy Yummy5 - OMG! I ate my fingers too!

Everything I've eaten here is very good. I've had almost everything on the menu and by far the best is the sweet and sour pork, black bean noodle, and spicy seafood noodle soup.

Jja jang Myeon taste straight out of frozen package. Bland no flavor. The worst I had in my life.

Food was good, service not so much. Asked for 2 extra bowls so my wife and I could share our food. I was told to use the small to go boxes in the corner.
