Best Korean food in Portland. We love this place. Great food. I can't say I'm an expert but it feels authentic as we are ALWAYS the only gringos in the place. We love the sampling of little dish appetizers as we wait. Service is mixed. I probably go once a month and have only ever seen the one waiter. Not really unfriendly, just short. While I wouldn't go for a date night, it is family friendly and has great food. The sizzling hot pots always look fun, but we love the cold summer dishes on a hot day!  View Less … View More

Best Korean in Portalnd. Been here for lunch and dinner. The banchan are amazing, and more varied than in other Korean places i've been. Portions are excellent - todays bi-bim-bap dinner will also work for tomorrows lunch. and the jjigae are full sized - not "petite".

i've taken a few friends from Korea - they claim the food is exactly what you would get in Seoul at a similar caliber restaurant.

the only downside - service can be slow. but it's ALWAYS worth the wait.  View Less … View More

Food 4 stars, Server No Stars!. Food is good consistently but the server who works single-handed is very rude. The restaurant is too busy to have only one server. The server has no patience to answer your questions. He just replies, "Just look at the menu," and will not even stop walking. I recommend other Korean restaurants in the Beaverton that balance food and service quality.  View Less … View More

The" recycled" sidedishes!. I use to like this restaurant until the recent visit. We were there on a busy wendesday lunch. As usual there's only one sever during the lunch time. I was asked and being apologized to wait since it's busy. This is totally ok for me since I really like the food there. As we were waiting for our food coming,we have noticed someone walked out from the kitchen and brought a tray with him. Instead of cleaning the table we saw him started to collet those " unfinished" side dishes, and what suprised me more is he picked those napkins ( looks clean and un-used) but put it into his month and got all those things back to the kitchen. Soon out waitor bring our sidedishes to us ............I swear I was so scard to eat any of those and use the napkin on the table.....All I want to say is the service is good, the food is good, but speaking to eating those " recycled" dishes.......eeeeewwwwwwww  View Less … View More
