Hong Kong Banjum by Paik’s Noodle

"Delicious, affordable, & very friendly service! I recommend getting the 2-serving jjajjangmyeon; the portion was so big that I think it could be actually shared between 3-4 people~"

"It was a little confusing during the order process but eventually figured it out. Hidden behind a short wall facing the kitchen to the left is the ordering station. Once you place your order you sit and wait for your number to be to called. It’s pretty much a self serving place, but they will bust the dishes and table after you’re done. To the food. The creamy shrimp was fried to perfection- a good crisp at every bite and paired it with the jajangmyeon. A good lunch sitting with friend/family to share."

"Ignore the gatekeeping comments. I’ve been to many Korean Chinese noodle restaurants in Atlanta and this place in taste is comparable. It’s clean, unlike traditional Chinese restaurants, friendly, and good atmosphere. Food came out fast and price for a bowl of these noodles are 30% cheaper than if I went to a traditional restaurant because no tipping and it’s just cheaper. Got a bowl of black bean noodles and it was not bland and seasoned well. I don’t get these other reviews. Don’t be so critical, if you want a Michelin star bowl of noodles go to Korea or China. Food is good here."

"I didn’t know the jjajang was kinda spicy. But he gave me a coke for apologizing which was so nice of him. I found a small hair in my noodle but it was not a really big deal to me, I took a picture of it just in case but the staff was very friendly and nice to me. Other than that, the food was good and service was great. I’m not sure if I can recommend this place to everyone but my friend, he really liked this place. 7/10"

"Can't speak for what's considered "authentic," but we thought the food here was great! A friend told us about this popular franchise. This location has a self-service kiosk. The utensils, drinks, and condiments are also self-serve as well. Once you're done eating, just leave everything on the table. You can ask for a to-go box at the front. We got the classic trio: jajangmyeon, jjamppong (more spicy), and tangsuyuk. The tangsuyuk (fried pork with sweet and sour sauce) was one of the best we've ever had! It had a light potato starch batter that was crispy and chewy. The sauce was not too sweet and tangy-- we'll probably order sauce on the side next time. The jajangmyeon had a great smokey flavor. The seafood in the jjamppong was cooked perfectly. The (more spicy) broth had a nice deep flavor and a kick. The noodles were thick and had a nice bite. Can't wait to come again and try the rest of the menu!"
