About Paik's Noodle

Paik's Noodle, located inside the HMart food court in North Irvine, offers high-quality Korean-Chinese comfort food in a busy and lively atmosphere. Owned by Chef Jong Won Paik, the restaurant serves generous portions loaded with toppings, including their signature jjamppong and jajangmyeon. The noodles in all dishes are perfectly chewy, making them satisfying for hearty noodle lovers. The Jajangmyeon is known for its comforting umami punch, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, enhanced by caramelized onions and a generous portion of ground pork. For those who prefer no meat, there is an option for vegetarians as well as a seafood version of this dish.

The jjamppong features the same noodles in a rich, spicy broth infused with seafood umami, including mussels, tender squid, and baby shrimp. Each dish comes with Korean pickled radishes, providing a fresh, crisp respite between indulgent bites. Although there is no traditional service, the friendly staff are quick, even during peak hours. With plenty of seating available, it is advisable to secure a spot during busy times or consider taking the food to go.

For anyone looking for comforting, filling, and delightful noodles that stand out among other Asian noodle dishes like ramen, pho, and pad thai, Paik's Noodle is a must-visit. The restaurant is often praised as one of the best spots in town for Jajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk (Sweet & Sour Pork), making it a great choice to satisfy any Korean food cravings.
