Bewon Korean Restaurant

Disappointing kimchi and service. I have been to many Korean restaurants. I agree with other reviewers, food is expensive given the small quantity. The side dishes are extrememly limited. For the sake of keeping the origin of Korean food, please be generous when the guests ask for more side dishes or hot tea.

There are many Korean restaurants outthere. if you ever want to try, go other places. This one is so business driven, only can capture the random walk-ins like myself.  View Less … View More

cold food, weird smells..... I heard good things about this place before i went.....I love ethnic food, and have been to other korean restaurants before and really enjoyed it. My food came kind of cold and the portion was small.....For what it is it seems overpriced, i think they see themselves as a fancy restaurant and that's why they overcharge. It smelled funny in there too....Too bad. Maybe I'll give it another chance sometime.  View Less … View More

Korean food for White People. First off, I'm white. Secondly, I LOVE ethnic food. PLEASE proprietors of ethnic food, don't dumb-down your cultural experience for white people. Give them a chance to rise up to meet your cuisine!

Secondly, the braised cod fish with radishes was one of the best I've ever tasted. Really it was delightful. Could have been a bit more spicy, but the overall freshness of the fish and flavor of the sauce were excellent. For the price, I expected enough servings for at least two AND a hearty banchan.

What was disappointing was there was a pathetic amount of banchan (all the little dishes of goodness!!) There wasn't enough variety, it was boring in flavor, and they CHARGE for them!! Banchan is usually included as part of the meal and is a huge part of a Korean dining experience! Charging for Banchan is like charging for ketchup or mustard!

I give you two stars because the braised cod was so good. But this diner will continue hiking it out to Beaverton where there's ample delicious Korean eateries who don't charge extra for banchan! So what if most the places don't have English speaking wait staff, it has just made me learn more Korean.  View Less … View More

Favorite. I LOVE Bewons, It's widely known among my friends that if you want to cheer me up you take me there. I eat there a lot. If the menu seems pricy you can get a better deal if you choose to go at lunch.

It's not extremely accurate Korean, I'm sure it's been Americanized for our palate. But it doesn't make it any less of a wonderful meal, and there are many flavors that Americans have never tried before.

I recommend the japchae and bulgogi for beginners. The meal comes with banchan which are like sides only there are a lot of them and they come served on little plates. Don't be afraid of the kimchi or the squid!  View Less … View More
