    busy.  i like the limited menu.  i like the specialization with koreans take on our food.   the spicy,sour, garlic fried chicken was a very good treat and i even enjoyed the mixed vegetables that were mixed in the sauce.  the jajangmyeon was good as well.  A very enjoyable and different than the normal korean restaurant meal.  Also very affordable (18 for both dishes).  Next test is the bear wings place on the other side of h-mart.

    Disclaimer:  I am not well versed in Asian food.

    Having said that, there is something peculiar about a restaurant that serves scissors with your meal.  My husband says this practice is fairly common in Asian restaurants, but it was my first time experiencing it.  Apparently, the noodles in most of the dishes are so long that you need scissors to cut them.  I found out first hand that you do, indeed, need scissors to cut the noodles while sampling my husband's vermicelli.  Who knew?

    I ordered the fried shrimp with sweet and sour sauce.  The entree portion was huge and the shrimp was hand battered and drenched in sweet and sour sauce.  At first, the shrimp was wonderful, but as the dish cooled off the batter on the shrimp became soggy and less than appetizing.  All-in-all, I wasn't overly impressed.

    AS I walked into P and Y with my mother, sister, and wife, the first question that came up was, "is this a Chinese restaurant or a Korean?"  I want to say they are advertising as a Chinese restaurant, but the menu had Korean letters on it.  Which leads to a more complicated question is Jajangmyeon Chinese or Korean?  So, the answer is "I don't know" and "both".  Apparently it is served in Korean Chinese restaurants in Korea.  Don't bother about the spelling, don't bother about what kind of food it is, and look it up on wiki for more details.  For those not familiar, the closest food I could associate it with is pad thai.  The sauce itself is from a dark soy bean paste and the consistency is like gravy.  So kind of a soy sauce gravy thing with onions and pork.  If the description doesn't not make it sound tasty, know that billions of asians think it is.  So we had the Jajangmyeon, some chap chae (a Korean dish, I think), and some sweet and sour shrimp.  The food was crazy fresh and tasty.  I couldn't have made it better at home.  Service can be a little unresponsive, but I don't mind getting a little assertive in Korean restaurants anyhow.  Probably the one complaint is that the menu is limited.  In P and Y's quest for an identity, they bounce between Chinese take out and some Korean.  The traditional Korean dishes that you might want, like soups are not on the menu.  But at least when I get a craving for (jaw jawng mee-yawn), I know where to go.  Thanks to the Yelpers who put this on my radar too.

    Pretty decent Korean place for jajangmyeon (black bean sauce noodles), jam pong (seafood noodle soup), and tang soo yook (sweet, sour, and crispy beef).  I wouldn't get or rate this place on the other dishes because that's not what they're known for.

    Portions are HUGE for every dish.  The tang soo yook was our "appetizer" but it filled 5 adults and 2 kids quite well.  It's served on a platter and was nicely crisp except I agree with another reviewer in that it's a tad too sweet.  Batter could be a little less but at least it wasn't greasy.

    You can't go wrong with the jajamyeon because it's hearty and saucy.  Jam pong was great for cold weather but with this dish, the seafood is usually frozen so it doesn't taste as fresh as it could.  The spice level of the broth was adequate though and was rich in flavor.

    I'm very surprised at the quality of Korean restaurants in Colorado and glad there are these offerings among the cows, bison, and what not.

    Whoa. This place looks like a hole in the wall, but it's definitely bustling with Korean customers which says something. They also give HUGE portions. Be warned! I ordered a Tangsooyook, and it was the sweetest Tangsooyook I have ever had (still can't decide if this is good/bad) because it was delicious and they gave a lot, but after awhile you got that sugar sick feeling.

    My friends got the jjajangmyun (which is the house special) and it is indeed the best jjajangmyun the Denver area has to offer. If you don't mind brown and slimy noodles, go ahead! After all, it is simply like eating the thicker version of soy sauce with your noodles anyways. Who isn't doing that already.

    Domo Oregato - oh wait, this is not a Japanese place, it's a Korean, no wait, Chinese type restaurant. Now I get it.
    If you must go and I am not sure that you must but I guess you could. All you need to know is jjajangmyun.
    The place, leaves a lot to be desired in regards to decor, cleanliness and atmosphere but they do one thing well - the black noodles. If you are a fan of the spicy seafood soup (jjampong), than that is another item that is tasty!
    Otherwise, it's just a place. Hard to get my germ fearing friends in here so tend to not go here very often.

    Cant recall but one of my Singaporean friends ever mentioned to me, about this restaurant and she told me it was good.  Cant recall which dish she ordered though.

    Was here with A.W from running some errands in this part of the neighborhood.  Thankfully we managed to get a seat for 2, before the LUNCH RUSH Weekend Madness.  Saturday April 7th 2012  Time was about 11:50hrs ish.  Once seated, given the menu.  We browse the Menu.  It was sunny outside so I am exactly not sure what to order let alone trying to figure what I am craving for that Lunch hour.  I am slightly puzzled with the "offerings"..  Is this a KOREAN restaurant which offer Chinese and Korean dishes or ?????

    From the "brief" menu, here were the items we ordered :

    *  Crab Cheese Wontons
    *  Szechuan Beef
    *  Korean Noodles with Thick Black Bean Sauce (Seafood) if I am not mistaken or if I could recall correctly, this dish named is Jajangmyun..  

    Once we decide on these, we waited.  Man, this place is indeed jam-packed with other Patrons alike, mostly being Koreans, coz whenever, another "party" comes inside, the servers spoke in Korean to each other.  I bet this place is indeed swamped with "REGULARS" who knew about the food and perhaps its the only in town where you get that kind of food.

    Anyhoos, while waiting for our order to be ready, the servers gave us the pickled daikons, raw diced onions, "mystery black sauce" and kimchi to our table.  For this "condiments", it was just A-OK.  About 5 to 10 minutes of waiting, my order of Crab Cheese Wontons arrived.  Nothing stellar nothing fancy.

    5 minutes later, my main entree of Szechuan Beef came.  Such a disappointment coz, for one, they fried the beef into GOD KNOWS WHAT I AM EATING, it was SO TOUGH, that my appetite went DOWN SOUTH.  It was spicy and sweet in a BAD WAY.  BIG BUMMER

    5 minutes after the arrival of Szechuan Beef, came A.W's main entree of  Jajangmyun.  This dish consists of the Korean noodles, with slices of cucumbers.  As for the Black Bean Paste Sauce with Seafood, it comes with "variety" of seafood and raw diced of white onions..  This dish comes with a pair of scissors.  Man, this dish alone is a WEIRD dish in some good or bad way, depends on what you look at, or even taste.

    We shared all these 3 dishes, being the WEIRDEST was that Jajangmyun.  No wonder you need that pair of scissors to cut the noodles into chewable, edible portions.  That THICK SEAFOOD BLACK BEAN PASTE Sauce, is so bland, but it can be addictive too in a WEIRD sense of way.  A.W, my friend bet to differ, since I think she is liking the dish she ordered.  Mind you, one bowl is DEFINITELY plenty to be shared among 2 or 3 friends.

    Another disappointment about this Jajangmyun are the amount of tiny seafood you can find or perhaps "go thru" with bits of octopus tentacles, dried scallops of somekind, and if you are lucky bits of diced shrimps.

    At the look from other tables, other patrons are enjoying their food ESPECIALLY this Jajangmyun, but not as much for me.  Maybe next time, if I were to return though NOT IN A HURRY, I might just ask my friend, who has Korean families, and perhaps see how my review might differ.  Had "plenty of leftovers"...

    That lunch cost $27.65 without tips and tax.

    As other patrons left, the servers cleared the other tables promptly and very fast so other new patrons came in dining in.

    I've been here twice now, and both times were great experiences! Lunchtime at this Korean restaurant was pretty crowded when I got there, but that was fine with me.

    My favorite dish there was their  (jjah jang myeon), which is black bean noodles. It comes with either beef or pork mixed in the black bean sauce. And honestly, pork tastes beautiful with this dish in my opinion.

    When it comes to their side dishes, GET their fried rice! I could tell it was freshly made when they served it. It was delicious!

    The only reason this place isn't 5 stars is because of their kimchi. I don't like their kimchi, and I LOVE kimchi. I took a bite out of it and I could tell right away that they rushed making it. Once I can tell that they've improved it, then it'll receive its fifth star.

    Otherwise, if you're around this part of town and in the mood for good Korean food, GO to P&Y Cafe!! It's delicious!!

    For Korean food, there are two things to come here for: Jjajamyun and Jjamppong.

    This place is my favorite kind of restaurant: cheap, no frills, good food. Kind of a hole in the wall, but that's what makes it great. Both dishes are consistently delicious and super cheap to boot (only around $5-6 for large portions).

    Very cheap ambience, mildly sucky service, but for the price and quality of food, who cares? :)

    I almost don't want to review so I can keep this tasty secret to myself!  ;)

    Hellloooo drool!  
    This place has the best blean bean noodles.  You get a heaping serving of noodles under a mound of black bean sauce for only around $5!  You know that homey, cooked with love, taste- P&Y definitely delivers this sought after feeling.  My tummy and I leave more than satisfied each time.

    I feel like it should be stated that you shouldn't come with high expectations for consistent service.  They're friendly, but for a small restaurant and what looks like a very small staff, come knowing you will have to wait for refills on your water and your server checking up on you.  I'm sure they're doing the best they can; if anything it should prompt you to become a better conversationalist to pass the time ;)

    Ordered the "jjajangmyun" black bean noodles for take-out, as based upon many of the previous reviews. The food itself -really could take it or leave it; was nothing that stood out in any way The service though, again as with many of the previous reviews, really is quite poor. As I waited at a corner table for my take-out order, a hostess literally drops a stack of menus on my arm as she aims for the menu pile, and of course says nothing (in English, at least). The stares of the staff, the running commentary in Chinese while staring; it's fairly obvious that you're not welcome at P & Y Cafe if you are not part of the Korean community that they especially cater to here. In a way I'm glad the food kind of sucked; as I won't be returning back to P & Y Cafe.

    I have to rereview this dump!  My mother and I got jjangmyun which astes the same.. But the service was awful!  It's a little off that they store their ice in a dirty ass igloo.. When u get your water, they put -5 cubes and pour the water.. I literally finished the water in three minutes. Need to keep hydrated since I have a uti... We wait 15min to get our mediocre food, no refill...  While we finish our food 3-5 staff membes are just standing there doing nothing.. So the way you pay here is stand at the counter and pay.. Our table is literally under the cash register so I just lift my card to get their attention... Nothing happens... FINALLY the owner comes to the register looks at the register and guess what happens...  NOTHING! She goes to phone 5 feet away starts calling someone.. It took forever to pay for the mediocre food but now I learned my lesson.  Next time I want Chinese I'll just get panda express!

    My little hole-in-the-wall!

    A Korean's take on Chinese food. This place is known for their jjajangmyun, which are black bean noodles & jjamgpong, a spicy seafood noodle soup. Both are pretty tasty & ridic. cheap (Round $5).

    But I come here for something else. A dish thats been kept on the down-low.. their Gan Poong Sae Woo or Hot & Spicy Garlic Shrimp. It's deep friend shrimp thats stir fried with onions, peppers & peas with this spicy garlicky pungent sauce. A little pricy at $12.95 but it is TO DIE FOR! Can't eat shrimp or don't like it? Do not fret, you can get it with chicken instead.

    Be warned: Not known for their ambiance & closed on Tuesdays.

    Every culture has its own take on Chinese food. There are Korean Chinese restaurants all over Seoul, but they can be hard to find in the US. P&Y Cafe is one of the more popular outlets here in Denver.

    Some of the dishes here aren't too different from American Chinese food. Tangsuyuk, for example, is really just another version of sweet and sour pork. It contains fried pork strips, pineapple, and pieces of bellpepper. Here's a tip: for an added flavor boost, mix up a little soy sauce (don't overdo it) with some of the red pepper powder that is available on the table. Lightly dip each piece of pork into the sauce before eating it, almost like you would a piece of sushi. This is a uniquely Korean flavor.

    Probably the most interesting Korean Chinese dish available here is jjajangmyun, which you'll also see labeled as black bean noodles. This consists of a bowl of pasta topped with a thick sauce of black beans, meat, and vegetables. After a thorough mix with your chopsticks, you can dig in for a really interesting flavor experience.

    The only downside of P&Y is the atmosphere--there's really none to speak of. However, their food is solid (and cheap), so if you're looking to try a type of fusion that doesn't typically get a lot of press, this is a great place to hang your hat.

    After arriving back to the 303 from the Korean motherland in the summer of '10, I was suffering from the anguish that can bring a grown man to tears. The reason? Quite simply, the aftereffects of eating the most delicious Korean food in the world, and having that privilege being stripped away faster than you can peel an onion. The favorite dish I had eaten overseas; in what seemed to be a distant memory, was the mouth watering dish known as  (jja jang myun).

    The severe depression continued, as I gave up hope for a decent restaurant in colorado that serves this spectacular dish, and after a day out with friends, I had rediscovered a special place where my dreams could once again come true.

    Now, it is not to say that it is comparable to the same dish in the motherland. Nay, it is special in its own respect. I daresay that no other restaurant in colorado comes close to recreating such a simple, yet coveted noodle dish, stir-fried with vegetables and pork in tasty black bean sauce.

    ...There is only one thing you should order here, and that's the  (jja jang myun). You will not be disappointed (unless you go on a Tuesday with a craving).

    Seriously, don't go on a Tuesday. I'm not sure why they picked that day, but it's closed then.

    I come here whenever I get a craving for jja jang myun (noodles with black bean sauce).  It is pretty good and only $5.  With that said, I know there must be better! Other than the jja jang myun, I haven't had anything else that was something to be desired again.

    Also, getting the food to go? Yuck.  The meat dishes we got were rubbery and the mandoo was dry.

    One word: jjajangmyun. The place may seem a little small and dirty, but they definitely know how to do their black noodles and spicy seafood soup (jjampong). Did I mention it's only $5? Score.

    Despite these two great dishes, the place doesn't really have anything else going for it. As far as the other food, there isn't really anything else of note to mention. Don't touch the kimchi - it just seems off IMO. It's often packed full of Korean families and the service can be a little slow. Meh, I can't really complain. I honestly don't mind it so much as long as I can keep getting my jjangmyun/jjampong fix. Give it a try.

    Stay hungry my chingoos!

    Thanks to the man who kindly showed the stock ingredients to the dumpling soup. I declined it when I read MSG as the second ingredient. I mentioned it makes me REALLY sick. He suggested beef bulgogi. It was delicious. And sopping with MSG. I cannot chance this place again after what I've endured today.

    I don't give many 2 stars, but I have had better.  Seeing the reviews on Yelp, we went here hoping for some flavorful asian Korean/Chinese food.  Well, it tasted like a mix of Korean and Chinese food, but did not taste very good.  

    We ordered the sweet and sour pork.  The portions are large, but the flavor was not remarkable.  Neither was the seafood noodles in black bean sauce.  It was rather bland.  The SPicy seafood noodle soup was a little bit tastier, but nothing to write home about.  THe only dish I would give a higher star to were the potstickers - which were pretty descent.  But one out four does not a great restaurant make.  THe portions were huge!  I ate the left overs, but my partner wouldn't touch them again.

    We finally made it to this place on not a Tuesday (when it's closed) as a proper send off for a coworker who is moving on to a job that is far cooler than insurance (no offense, insurance job).

    It's pretty close to the H-Mart and is a Korean run Chinese place.  Apparently these are the only types of places to serve spicy Korean seafood soup called jambong.  

    The interior is pretty small and basic.  When we got there it was barely half full but when we left there wasn't an empty table.

    Four of us went for jambong (extra spicy).  The bowl is practically the size of a feeding trough and filled to the brim with noodles, kimchi, shrimp, some sort of squid or octopus, mussels (de-shelled), and fiery bright orange broth (luckily the guy in our group wearing white ordered something else - the broth is rumored to not come out of clothing).

    It was a super tasty and filling lunch for the low, low price of $5.99.  A lot of the hot red pepper flakes had settled to the bottom, but a good stir brought them up and made every bite nice and spicy.

    The service left a bit to be desired as we had a hard time getting our check....but still a great lunch spot for a cheap, interesting, and tasty meal.

    I love this place! No visit to Denver feels complete unless I stop by for jjajangmyeon awesomeness!

    I still can't believe this little unassuming restaurant is better than any jjajangmyeon place in San Francisco (maybe the Bay Area?), but it's true!

    The tang soo yook (sweet and sour pork) and kkan poong gi (slightly spicy fried chicken) also are tasty and good complementary dishes, but beware - you get a LOT of food, all for great prices!

    The only weak dish here is the kimchee..

    I love Chinese food.  I also love Korean food.  I just never had Korean Chinese food before... So when I walked by a fairly unimpressive front door on my way to get my hair cut, I'm a bit skeptical.  But the hair cut took kinda long so I'm hungrier than I expected, so I asked my hair dresser if she's tried it.  She said they're famous for 3 things (sweet and sour, spicy seafood noodles, and jajang noodles) and their prices are reasonable so I thought why not give it a try.

    And boy was I glad I did.  The inside is just as unimpressive as the outside, but it's clean.  I'm here for the food not the ambiance so that doesn't bug me too much.  I asked the lady if their pot stickers are homemade and she said yes so I ordered one.  We also ordered the spicy seafood noodle on their menu cover and a sweet and sour pork.  

    You know they're not lying about the homemade pot stickers, cuz you won't be able to buy pot sticker with that size anywhere pre-made.  It's like the size of my palm.  OK I have small hands, but still, it's pretty decent size.  It's crispy on the outside and they give you this slightly sweet pot sticker sauce.  AWE-SOME!

    Next is the sweet and sour pork.  BTW, my hair dresser told me that their prices are reasonable, and when I saw the $8.95 a plate of sweet and sour pork, I was thinking, meh, not that reasonable.  But that was until the food got here.  That plate is big, and it's big with food filling the whole plate.  I've been a fan of sweet and sour pork since I was a kid and I'll tell you why this is the best one I've had for a long time.  

    1. The batter.  It's not too thick, not too hard, and not too soggy.  I don't know how they did it, but it was just the right texture.  I brought the leftover to work the next day, expecting soggy separated batter, but no, microwaved leftover still awesome.
    2. The sauce.  It's not those super florescent red out of the bottle sweet and sour sauce.  It's home made kinda thick sweet and not too sour sauce.  I hate it when some sweet and sour sauce is too runny, and it's too sour, that after you ate it, your lips feel all weird.  They make one good sauce.
    3. Mixed veggie.  Some people neglect the mixed veggie in this dish but not them.  They use fresh pineapples, which definitely add to the taste of the sauce.  Red and green peppers are the usual, with some carrots and I think it's zucchini.  It kinda all worked out.
    4. The meat.  The pork is not too big a chunk, which eliminates the potential problem of getting the roof of your mouth too raw from trying to bite into too big of a piece of deep fried meat.  There were no fatty chunks and no bony chunks neither, those are surprises we don't need from something hidden in batter so that's good.

    And finally the noddles.  Huge portion, good soup base.  I know sometimes people like the fully shelled shrimp and mussels, etc.  I kinda liked it that theirs come de-shelled.  I don't need to get spicy shop all over my hand.  The noodles have great texture, again, not soggy at all.   The soup isn't too spicy, which is good.  Soup being too spicy is a problem I've run into with other spicy seafood noodle I've had before.  I can handle the spicy but I just think when something is too spicy, it takes away from its true taste.  The soup base is also yummy, can definitely taste the seafood in it, instead of just red and spicy overpowering the seafood taste like some other ones I've had.

    2 men and me, we can't finish the 3 plates.  Total comes out to $23.30, with leftover sweet and sour pork for lunch for one person the next day.  We're definitely going back for their other special dishes!

    In the same Aurora stripmall as Cafe Sky (see previous review) lies P & Y Cafe, which differs slightly in the sense that it focuses a little more on Korean-Chinese dishes.

    First popularized in the city of Incheon in what is now South Korea, Korean-Chinese cuisine takes classic Chinese dishes and adapts them to Korean palates, sometimes to such an extent that the final dish bears little resemblance to the original one.

    Classic examples of this hybrid style include Jjamppong, a very spicy seafood and noodle soup, and Jjajangmyeon, toothsome noodles in a thick black bean sauce with ground meat. P & Y offers very capable renditions of these two dishes (please be forewarned that both are rather messy to eat, so don't go before the opera, m'kay?)

    The restaurant also has some more purely Korean specialties like Mandu (translucent dumplings) and Chapchae (skinny-minnie cellophane noodles with vegetables). No matter what your finger points to on the menu, you really can't go wrong.

    So won't you try P & Y, PDQ??

    This is a hole in the wall. Quaint and small. It is always packed with Korean people. It is known for Korean/Chinese black noodles; in fact, it is the only place that serves jajanmyun in the Denver (really aurora) area. Apparently the Chanpon (spicy noodle soup) is also very good, but i didn't stick around to find out.

    Beware the kimchi though. It is very very bland. Also the service could be quite slow (because it is a mom and pops place). You'll see 2 hispanic ladies serving the tables (which is sort of funny considering this is a Korean place). It sort of brings back memories of Korean town in LA where even the Mexican people speak Korean!!! hahaha.

    Anyway... the black noodles are alright. Not as good as I would have liked, but it's the only one in town... and it's pretty decent.

    Great place in Denver (Aurora) for Korean-Chinese noodles! I have been to this place 3 times in the past 2 months and each time I walked away satisfied. I never did try any entree but focused instead on the noodles.  The noodles with spicy seafood soup and noodles with black bean sauce are superb. On my last visit I ordered both noodles and finished them all.

    The cons: lack proper air conditioning, and flies circulating over head.

    My husband and I had a major Korean Chinese food craving (I know it sounds really bizarre but there is truly a distinction between typical Chinese food and Korean Chinese), which usually goes unfulfilled until we return for a visit to Southern California, specifically Garden Grove which is chock full of these types of restaurants, when we realized that last month, we came across this website called www. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkoreanrestaurantguide.com&s=0c133519c712537f894e280cb1f0f6d7a4b4c554c899757f87e8d9bbc76dba17" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://koreanrestaurantg…</a> which listed two viable options near and around Denver.  The first one we tried was Uncle Chinese, otherwise known as Happy China.  They happened to be closed for the long weekend so we decided to try the other, P&Y Cafe and I'm happy to report our experience was similar to most of the other reviews on this site.  

    The food was suprisingly good - I ordered the Gan Ja Jang Myun (fresh noodles in a black bean type sweet and salty sauce, similar to traditional chinese dan dan noodles but much more flavorful) which is the thicker, less soupier version of the traditonal Ja Jang Myun loaded with friend onions and pork.  The sauce was really good, not too sweet and quite a bit savory, the onions cooked perfectly and not overdone, and the pork pieces were well cooked and lean - unlike at alot of places including some in Korea I've tried, the pork had very little fat and was quite tasty.  I'd definitely order it again.  My husband ordered the chicken Jam Pong (I guess the closest explanation is it's similar to traditional chinese hot pot with noodles) and true to it's word, it was all chicken including the broth and quite spicy.  When we asked the waitress (who was very nice and fast) if it was cooked in chicken broth or seafood broth, she went back and we assume asked the owner who in turn came out and answered our questions - he also was very nice and accomodating and basically said we could have the dish anyway we wanted.  We ordered the chicken Kam Pong Gi (I think someone on this post already gave a good description which I'll repeat - sweet and sour chicken but less sweet and more heat, imagine Kung Pao Chicken thrown in) and it also was quite good - a little too much breading for my taste but the flavors were good.

    My really picky sister and major foodie brother-in-law are suppose to come out in a couple of months for a visit and suffice it to say, we'll be taking them to this place for a quick bite and reminder of home.   I've not had the best of luck with traditional Korean restaurants here in Denver, mostly because the meat marinades haven't been as good as I've had or the banchans (side dishes) are definitely not of the quality or variety I like but I will say this - since checking out the P&Y Cafe, I feel like we can cross off hitting up the Korean Chinese joints the next time we visit Southern California for our fix.  Plus, the next time I shop at H Mart I'll be dropping into this place for a quick bite.

    Let me just start by saying that I looooooove Korean Chinese food.  Koreans in general like Chinese food as much as Americans do and I developed a love for Korean Chinese food spending my childhood growing up in Korea.  When I moved to the US, I tried, unsuccessfully, to find good places here that served Korean style Chinese food.  It was too niche to be readily available and the places that did serve it didn't make it quite like back in Korea.

    Then I found P&Y cafe.

    I'm glad to say that my search for good Korean Chinese food in Denver, nay THE US, has come to an end.  P&Y cafe is a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant on the Parker side of the H-Mart strip mall in Aurora.  This unassuming mom and pop restaurant serves some of the best Korean Chinese food I've had this side of the Pacific ocean.  Seriously.  This is THE PLACE to go for Korean Chinese food.

    All the Koreanized Chinese classics are here.  Their Cha Jang Myun (noodles with black bean sauce, pork and veggies) is comparable to the best I've had in Korea.  The Champong (spicy seafood soup with noodles) is super satisfying and has an amazingly tasty broth, really good on a cold day.  The Tang Soo Yook (sweet and sour pork) and Kkan Poong Gi (think sesame chicken only not as syrupy and a bit spicy) are nowhere near as sweet as something you'd get at PF Chang's or Panda Express (this is a good thing) and strike the perfect balance between sweet and savory.  The best part is probably the price.  Two people can easily eat dinner here and be uncomfortably full for around 20 bucks total.  And lunch is even cheaper...

    If you're in the mood to venture out and try something different yet familiar at the same time, or if you're a Korean just looking for awesome Korean Chinese food I cannot recommend P&Y cafe enough.  5 stars without hesitation.

    They have the best Jja jang myun (noodles with black bean sauce), jam bong (spicy sea food soup with noodles) and pork tang su yuk (Fried pork with sweet sauce) in Colorado that I've tried so far.  The place doesn't look that great but the food is very good!  I would give it 5 stars but my mom's jja jang myun is hands down the best!
