1st time having Korean food. Customer service is great here. The food was delicious and perfectly spicy! The place is clean.
The other reviews are right; their portions for takeout are tiny (barely fills half of the box and can pass for a kids menu item). Also, they only pack 1 set of side dishes for 2 bibimbaps.
Since moving to Portland last year, this has definitely been our go to date night spot. The owners are wonderful and the food is never disappointing. My wife always gets the galbi, I usually get the yuk gae jang or soondubu, and we get pan fried mandu to share. Of all the Korean places we've tried in the Portland area, they have our favorite mandu and best marinade for the galbi.
I was very disappointed with the 3 dishes my family ordered (yukgaejang, pajeon, and rice cake soup with dumplings). Overall, each dish was extremely bland, and the service was terrible. It seemed like the owner was working, but he seemed cranky and was inconvenienced when I asked for one refill of the side dishes. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to any family/friends.
The food is delicious and flavorful! Great Korean restaurant to go too!
First time here. Ordered the Beef Dolsot Bibimbap and my friend ordered the pork version, each $15 a bowl. Very disappointed as both bowls were essentially vegetarian. Think they had bits of protein but more like the essence of meat. Also service was not great, very rushed and unfriendly. Probably not coming back - $30 better spent somewhere else.
Today I went to get some yummy food, 9 years ago this place was the best Korean restaurant, the people in charge was nice and they treated me like family… new management is bad especially if you are Hispanic… I was there today waiting until they open, after me,got other people Caucasians( facial expressions talk too) they run to open the door for them, they got food before I did and i got there before they did ??
We went in on whim during date night, the food was fantastic! High recommend the kimchi and seafood pancakes, the Bulgari was so tender and flavorful! The bipimbop was lovely! They make their gojujang, and it was phenomenal! On top of all that, the service was lovely. Our questions were answered kindly and with enthusiasm, and they were quick and very pleasant. GO TRY IT!
Flavorful with fresh ingredients but less than 20 grams of protein in each of the dishes we ordered.
Owner Soowam was great in service and we loved the selection of food and all the food tasted great. Highly recommended! Must come eat here again.
