I really dislike when customers are very entitled but this restaurant, come on man… if a customer requests for something, unless it is absolutely not possible why not just comply with their request? Why argue and say it won’t be good. Got my food and as soon as I get it, I see the soup leaking. Workers are rude as well.

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.

We visited here multiple times, however, today we got diarrhea after eating Jajangmyeon. The food quality here is not stable.

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. ☺️

This place serves some of the best jajangmyeon I've ever had. Food came out fast and were generous with the portions, I highly recommend this spot. 5/5

The cashier just blew her nose in front of me but never washed her hand and then proceeded to handled our spoons and dishes. Very disgusting. I will never back to this place again ever.

Mr. Baek, this is a store that really needs to be inspected urgently. Jjajangmyeon, Jjamppong, sweet and sour pork are all very tasteless. Even the pickled radish is wilted and tasteless.
There is a delicious Vietnamese pho restaurant next door, but as a Korean, I am so embarrassed.
If you're craving Jjajangmyeon Jjamppong, go to the Jjajangmyeon restaurant in the Hannam chain. It's much more delicious.

We had the Jajangmyeon and Soontofu Jjampoon. Both were very tasty and fresh. The Soontofu had a nice little spice kick to it. Price was fair, around $12 a person. Serving size are large. Will definitely come back.

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

I was in the area, going to Hmart. Saw this place and realized it was one of Judge Paik's, from Culinary Class Wars, restaurants!! Had to try it. Always love Jajangmyeon so wanted that, they had a spicy version with chile. We kept seeing people with this fried dish, it was sweet and sour pork! They were both amazing ? ? this is food you will be craving! Always hits ? Besides the parking in this shopping area being crazy it still worth it ?
Parking: Big lot, but there is a lot going on in the area, so it's hard to find a spot.
