20 Best Korean Restaurants in Beaverton

“My husband and I have been going to Nak Won for almost 30 years. it has always been our family's favorite place for Korean food. And now it is our teenagers' favorite place to take their friends to introduce them to what Korean food should be like. Nak Won never disappoints.“

“Freshly-prepared dishes, large menu with plenty of variety, great portion sizes. On the pricier side for fresh/fast Korean at about $17-20.per dish. We ordered 4 things to share, a side of rice, and two Cokes which came to $85 and change, including tip.

I really enjoyed the Korean-style deep fried whole chicken, which was smaller than the average hen you get at the market. This was closer to the size of a very large Cornish game hen, and perfectly cooked with the lightest, crispiest crunch on the exterior. It didn't come with rice, so I ordered a side. It does come with a nice pickled radish, a dressed, shredded cabbage slaw, and two enhancements: fine salt/pepper blend, and a sweet, spicy chile sauce. I'll definitely be back for this chicken again. Delicious. 5/5

My friend ordered the pork katsu with cheese over steamed rice, which came with slaw and mac salad. I thought this just ok. The batter was a little thick and, although everything was served hot, biting into the pork was a bit tough as it was on the chewy side. It might have been re-fried after being prepared earlier. This is usually fine, if done properly. The cheese was generous and good. A little salt and a spot of Katsu sauce was the perfect complement. 3/5

We also shared the Rose Toekkbokki, which comes with soft, chewy rice cakes, fish cake strips, thinly-sliced hot dog, tofu squares, green onion, and a weird addition a small amount of iceburg lettuce-I removed it because it was wilted and added nothing. Oh, and a hard-boiled egg (it was chalky, unfortunately.) The sauce was creamy and mild, with the tiniest hint of heat from the gochujong. It was good, but I've had better versions of this dish, including my own. Worth a try if you've never had toekkbokki before. 3/5

Finally, I ordered the japchae with thinly sliced beef and cabbage to go. Although there wasn't much protein, the noodles were flavorful and prepared well. I love japchae, so I'll enjoy this with an egg and some smokey beef rib at home later. 4/5

The atmosphere was cozy on a rainy day in the PNW. It felt like a home kitchen. Service was fair. Our server greeted us immediately, and we were seated with water right away. She gave us plenty of time to decide, and then quickly took our orders. There was only one server(also the hostess) who appeared to be a little overwhelmed, but that's to be expected pretty much anywhere these days. It felt like a mom and pop restaurant with their daughter doing the greet, seat, and table service, including bussing. Despite the hefty price tag for lunch, I made sure to tip well.

I'd like to visit again and try some other dishes, but price is a factor. That said, this might be a better place for a group of 4 or 6 people. That way, everyone can pitch in and try different dishes, which makes it fun and more affordable.“

“The food was great and came out fast. Very mild on the spice level. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from a restaurant above the grocery store. Pictures of food on the wall, order by number but you don't come to a place like this for atmosphere. My only complaint was the service. Felt very dismissive and had to ask directly four times for a refill on water. They were slammed which is why I'm only taking off one star for service. Definitely check it out.“

“I cannot stress enough how much I love this place.
The food is fantastic. I have never had an issue with them not paying attention to special instructions. The shop itself is so so cute and cozy.
I hope this place never goes away. 🥹“

“My friend took me here, because he said it’s the real deal. When I walked in, the environment was extremely welcoming and warm. I’ve been not eating meat for a long time, but the hot stone bibim box looked so good I gave in and ordered it. It came out extremely fast right after all the side dishes. It was steaming hot and to die for.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic meal at JCD Korean BBQ! From the moment we sat down, the service was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The staff was happy to answer questions and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

The food was outstanding. The banchan just kept coming, and every side dish was fresh and flavorful. We loved the BBQ, the soups, and even tried soju for the first time, which made the experience even more fun. Everything tasted fresh, was beautifully prepared, and arrived quickly.

If you’re looking for authentic Korean BBQ with generous portions, excellent quality, and genuinely friendly service, JCD is an easy 5 stars. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“I am very picky with my reviews, but this place is just...wow! It's been a while that I've ate food at a restaurant that just made me smile after the first bite. The seasoning and spice of the house noodles was just spot on. My partners ramen was packed with flavor that instantly warmed her body and soul. This was an instant hit. It's a must try. The service and the music just add to the overall positive experience. I'll be back for sure!“

“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!“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“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“

“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“

“I got my food to go. I’d never been here before. The host that was going to seat me was super friendly, took me over to the take-out kiosk, showed me how to use it, and explained items on the menu. I ordered one of his suggestions and it was incredible! I’m so glad I went with his suggestion. I made my order, paid for it on the kiosk, and about 10 minutes later, the host brought my meal. Super friendly service! Very quick service. And delicious food. Try this place out. It is great!“

“First time trying & don't know what took me so long. I'm a big fan of Katsu Chicken but rarely order it especially if done with chicken breast. It's rare to find chicken breast not overly dry so avoid ordering it. They told me they use thigh meat for all their dishes so went with it. This was wonderful, cooked to perfection, & a huge amount of food. I will be eating on it for two days. The place was super clean & put the food out quickly. I can't wait to try some of their other dishes.“

“All you can eat Korean barbecue.“

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

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

“A lot of places make artisan donuts, but end up overcomplicating them. Mochinut has a wide selection of mochi donuts that are soft and so very flavorful! It is not necessary to add so much to a donut that it weighs as much as you will once you've eaten it; they have delicious glazes with minimal toppings, and it comes out great!“

“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 see this place every day! I surfed the reviews and had ti decide to try!!! I paid and received the shrimp and steak noodles spice level 2 or 3?
From the first bite of these plush and pillowy noodles I was smitten like a kitten !
I wish for the price of almost 20$ that there would be more meat included but the food is so good I am able to over look it for now!!

I did not take a photo for the intent of posting a review! I should have, I captured this photo to show My mom!“
