39 Best Korean Restaurants near Aloha

“love Stir Crazy Kitchen. Fantastic flavorful food.“

“Service is so phenomenal here and everyone is so kind. The food is always amazing and in large quantities too so I always end up with leftovers. My grandmother is Korean and all these meals remind me of her ♥️ so happy to have this place so close to me in St. John’s!“

“Wow Cow is more than just a place to get amazing food. It’s a place where the owner knows you by name, and cares about your order and experience. This is our happy place we walk miles to get to. They are seriously the very best of the best!! 😎“

“You know this place good when you see all asian people in this place. Service 10/10 food 9/10 b probably best korean place i’ve been too! Even offered/ helped us cook it. I love my koreans for real#koreans+me=chefs kiss. they just opened in may but seriously a hidden gem.“

“Easily one of the very best Korean restaurants in the greater Portland area. Superb, generous, tasty banchan. Fabulous Korean pancakes-always order the kimchj and green onion cakes! Scrumtuous! Great classic Korean dishes, super-tasty marinated beef salade. Whole menu is worth careful investigation. So go already!“

“First time here tonight for my mom’s birthday/ this place is so good, we are going to make it our go to place for Korean bbq from now on! First reason we love this place is because we finally found a Korean bbq place that’s not all you can eat! We have small children and elderly parents who don’t eat a lot- so it’s a huge plus. Second one is this place feels super new and clean , even the bathrooms were clean and smell good. Last but not least, staff were super friendly - everyone who served us was really nice and kind. Their side dishes were really generous and they offered to replenish more than once. Price was more than reasonable. Yes we are definitely coming back!“

“Truly one of the best Korean restaurants in the metro area. Fantastic!“

“We can’t wait to go back and try more. I almost didn’t even want to write this review because I want this place to remain a hidden gem but it’s too good not to spread the word.

Hidden upstairs in a Korean grocery store, the food was authentic and the atmosphere too. We arrived at 8:10pm on a Friday and the lady made an exception for us as the kitchen closed at 8, although the restaurant stays open till 9. We recommend coming before then.

We tried the bulgogi, the chicken bulgogi, and a kimchi pancake without the pork. Before the food came out, they brought us banchan which we devoured. It was a collection of kimchi, fish cakes, potatoes in sweet soy sauce, pickles radishes, pickles, and broccoli. The kimchi was so good that we asked for more. We couldn’t stop eating everything when it arrived—definitely come here super hungry.

The chicken had a very smokey flavor to it, just a bit of a heads up. I wasn’t expecting that and although it was delicious, it’s not a taste I’m very used to.

We can’t wait to come back and try more. Plus the grocery store had some fascinating items that we want to check out, too.

Also, the sweetest older women were waiting on our tables and ran the house. They were very kind and diligent.“

“Fantastic food. EVERYTHING is great including the service. The Thai iced tea is amazing“

“The shop is small but the food is amazing! Best tteokbokki I've had hands down and their bugolgi is to die for! (pics are of the half eaten dishes, they looked prettier before we dug in lol) The staff is also very friendly and helpful. 10/10“

“The service was amazing! Huge shoutout to the woman working today at 1pm. She was so sweet and was able to balance everything very well. The food was great too! Good portions for a good price. This was my first time. I will definitely come back.“

“Delicious food ever love the honey spice sauce“

“I don’t know how much I can express every time my family and I come to this establishment, our time and Service have been met greatly. Mostly from our favorite host Tina! I always make sure we get her, even if we have to wait. Highly recommend!!!“

“Like the other reviews state, this place can be a little hard to find. It’s part of Niki’s Cafe in an office building. They make sandwiches as well as kimbap and bibimbap, and they have drinks, snacks, and pastries too. Absolutely delicious, I will definitely be back!“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“The food is delicious. We had the salmon bento and the short rib bento and both were delicious. The bento consists of two battered fry shrimp, two dumplings, salad, rice and the main course. The restaurant is in a strip mall and there’s not a lot of ambiance for dining in, but it’s pretty obvious the money is going to food quality. There were quite a few customers there when we ordered, and so we asked if we could come back in 15 - 20 minutes and had a pint at Peppermill Pub in the meantime. Kings is the healthy option to the various fast food around it. It looked as if there were only two people running the place, the cashier and the cook. Kudos to them for doing a stellar job.“

“The best Korean food I've had in the Beaverton area. I've tried many and this place is far superior to all of them. The banchan were super flavorful and every dish we ordered was enjoyed by the whole table. Highly recommend the spicy marinated crab and the kimchi stew. The server is also extremely friendly and helpful, she really contributed to our lovely experience“

“Strip mall location with fast service, tasty Chinese/Korean, 10 dishes with pork chicken tofu variations. Recommend sweet and sour pork, stir fried Jajagmyeon, or beef jjamppong. Beef soup or noodles.

About 12 tables, 50 seats, can easily handle a group of eight, more I would call in advance. They can get busy, but they are fast and there seemed to be enough tables as people wait for to go orders.

Right next to Washington square, easy access on and off highway 217. Medium parking lot that seemed busy but sufficient.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible for wheelchair“

“Absolutely loved this place. We recommend the hotdogs, chicken bulgogi (has some rice cakes), and soy garlic fried chicken. The customer service is excellent and let us use the restroom after closing. Great customer service, great food, and loved the vibes. Highly recommended for everyone“

“My daughter and I tried their corn dogs, she got the original and I got the crispy, I have to say I really enjoyed it. Good beef sausage and mozzarella cheese stacked inside of a hand dipped planko honey batter. Yumm. My daughter said she wasn’t hungry but she sure ate the entire thing. Try it for yourself and you be the judge.“

“Ordered the Pork Jjajang myun (best in Portland so far that I’ve tasted) and Seafood Jjambong although a bit spicy. Don’t let the restaurant name and exterior fool you. It’s authentic!“

“Vegetarian options: They can make most menu items vegetarian by swapping the meat with tofu. They told me they had really good tofu and I was kinda skeptical, tofu is tofu it's never super exciting, but they totally delivered it had great texture and flavor!“

“Despite being extremely busy on Superb Ow day, our online order was ready right on time. Even better, it was delicious!!! crispy, sticky, spicy and amazing“

“Me and my family have been coming here for the past 18 years! This family owned restaurant has the most kind owners who work everyday they are open, generous portions, amazing flavors and best prices in all of Portland metro area! Our families drive from Salem and Vancouver to come here whenever we’re craving teriyaki!“

“All you can eat Korean barbecue.“

“We went here for the first time yesterday about an hour before closing.

We have never been to a Korean restaurant before.

I'm a vegetarian that can't have gluten or dairy so I ordered the tofu Bibimbap which was soooo good.

We were really impressed with the young guy that served us. He was very patient, kind and accommodating.

We will definitely be back again.“

“Always fresh and yum!“

“Small place with absolutely delicious food. Good portions for what you pay. The young lady working the counter was super cheerful and kind. Will return!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter was with me (9 years old at the time) and loved it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Doesn't have an automatic door that I noticed, but it is on the first floor and the door is wide enough to handle a wheelchair. The counter and several tables are lower to the ground, so the whole thing overall is pretty accessible as long the person in the wheelchair can handle opening the door.“

“Call ahead and get your grind on at home. Please support your favorite Mama 😉“

“I think we may have found our favorite Korean restaurant on the west side! Food was fresh and yummy! Love the how the lettuce is presented. Every single leaf was crisp and perfect! Service was really good as well. Prices are a bit higher, but for what we got, we felt we got a lot of food for those prices.“

“After googling multiple East Asia restaurants to dine at the winner was Tasty Teriyaki!

When walking in I immediately felt a warm homey vibe!

I was greeted and ordered within seconds upon walking in.

Today I ordered:
(Appetizer)
Spring Rolls
Fried vegetable spring rolls with a side of sweet and sour sauce.
Four come in the order and they are cooked to perfection, flakey yet the perfect crunch!

(Main Dish)
Tofu Teriyaki
Stir-fried tofu in teriyaki sauce with two scoops of rice and salad!
The portion size is definitely worth every penny!
The tofu was cooked to perfection as well as the rice and cabbage blend.

My pallet was shocked at how each entree complimented the other.

The service was amazing as well as the food!

It was exceptionally clean as well as a peaceful and homie place to eat!

When I come back through the area I will for sure be stopping in to have another meal here!

Thanks for the amazing food!

“if you want to get a good food and quick service this the place to visit.“

“Ordered takeout, grilled bulgogi plate was delicious. Full disclaimer: i used a gift card, which took $15 off the price.. so part of my pleasure is in getting a huge discount AND Grubhub was offering a “7 free potstickers with purchase of Bulgogi plate”. If I’d spent $22 on just the bulgogi plate I’m not sure I would be as pleased or be writing this review… but as it was, my particular situation and price? Superb! Did come with a side salad.. decent portion of bulgogi … but like I said I paid seven bucks“

“Love the food it’s our once a month go to place“

“Good food, but could use a little more meat in their yakesoba dishes. Good price, too!“

“I pass by here all the time but decided to try it today. I got coffee with boba and a donut and it was $10. Their donut flavors are super interesting, I got Reese's cheesecake and it was great. I like that the donut wasn't iced AND frosted so it wasn't too sweet, the perfect amount of chewy.

I see some reviews about the service but the guy at the counter was polite and prompt, no complaints at all. They also have Korean style corn dogs I want to try next time, I'll definitely be back!“

“I wish I would give this place 10 stars. The food was amazing and staff were super nice! Definitely will be going back 🤤“

“By far and away, my most favorite eatery in Portland. Fried rice spam bowl is my favorite!! But their Kahlua pig and Shoyu chicken are top notch too. Friendly staff, and safe space. Mahalo Plenty.“

“I am addicted to the Dan Dan Noodles. Specifically Frank's Dan Dan Noodles. Seving is not overly generous, you will not take any home. But they are definitely delicious to the very last bite. Leaving you to wonder when you will return. They are that good. Springy, toothsome noodles topped with a meat sauce that is savory in the beat possible way. Service is attentive without being in the way. Bathroom was clean. Seating is comfortable, not fancy at all. You are here for the Noodles! Don't forget about the handmade dumplings 😋“
