Paik’s Noodle at Dublin - Hong Kong Banjum

Ordered jajangmyon, it was just ok. I wish i asked for half-cooked noodle, cause the noodle was kinda soft, not chewy.
I also cant see their menu online so i ordered pickup from doordash, i should’ve called them directly cause the price diffrent is almost 20% from doordash. I also got the gunmandu, it was good! Recomended apps!

Chef Paik is really popular in Korea. He is a CEO of a company that runs a wide variety of different franchise brands. Hong Kong Banjum is one of the brands. Hong Kong Banjum specializes in Korean Chinese food. I've been to many different franchises created by Chef Paik back in Korea. All of them were "at least" decent. Some of them were great!

짜장면 (jjajang myun - black bean noodle) and 짬뽕 (jjambbong - spicy noodle) are the two pillars of Korean Chinese food.

You can order two dish with rice, too! So I ordered jjajang rice instead of noodle. And I really liked it! I like how they give you fried egg over the rice with black bean sauce. (Which noodle doesn't have!!)

The other dish is called 깐풍기 (ggan poong gi).
Man, this 깐풍기 tastes so delicious! I like how its deep fry is so crusty and the meat is so tender. It's spicy sauce is amazing....

I recommend this combination: order jjajang rice with 깐풍기. And, maybe a diet coke to wash grease down your throat. Hahaha.

P.S. You can order white onions with special black sauce. Korean Chinese restaurants in Korea all have this dish. Just tell one of the servers if you are only served with yellow radish side dish. You can try out. Korean people eat white onion (not spicy haha) because some Korean Chinese food get too oily sometimes.

Paik what happened? The JajangMyeon is avg here, definitely room to improve. Your Santa Clara location is legit!

First I was very excited since the place was close by.
I was disappinted by the noodle used in Jjamppong. It was too soft. It was not the kind I was familiar with.
I will give another try. Hopefully next time I am not disappointed.

I don’t know why there are so many negative reviews. I’ve been here 4~ times in the past few months since this placed opened, and have been pleased each time.

Consistent food quality, good service, etc.
