37 Best Korean Restaurants near Lake Oswego

“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!“

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

“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!“

“Fire. Best fried chicken drum we’ve ever had. We agreed the snow sauce should be called crack dust. French fries were good but just good French fries at end of day. But the chicken; The chicken drums are phenomenal. Thank you for a wonderful food eating experience.“

“Stopped by here after Taekwondo one evening and we were not disappointed! My daughter and I loved the atmosphere, the service, and most importantly the food. We got our food to-go and it did not compromise the flavor or texture of anything at all. The side dishes of the Japchae, Kimchi, and Corn Slaw went so well with the main dishes. I cannot wait to come back for more of the chicken, and to try the rest of the menu!“

“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!! 😎“

“Portland, which I come to every now and then, has a charm that makes me want to walk. Today too, I left the hotel without a plan and wandered around from place to place and stumbled upon bibim~:) I was thinking about the lunch menu, but as soon as I saw this place, I went into the restaurant without even a second of hesitation—! As expected, it was run by Koreans. They recommended bibimbap and spicy pork bulgogi because it was delicious, so I took the bibimbap!?!? The quantity was huge and the taste was??? It's been a long time since I buried my nose in my bowl and ate without any hesitation. While I was eating, they told me that it tastes better if you mix it with Japchae, but what can I say? As expected, it’s sweet. I was very happy to find a good Korean food restaurant in Portland. I felt grateful to the Korean owner who runs the business, and I was grateful to the owner and his daughter who are spreading K-Korean food as many Portland residents are visiting this place. It was a moment that felt amazing. “Please continue to spread delicious K-Korean food to the public.”“

“Whenever I travel, I always look for the top rated Korean restaurants that aren’t all-you-can-eat bbq. We enjoyed Han Oak so much that we decided to try the sister restaurant, Jeju, and loved it equally. The set menu has similar side dishes and exquisite house-made ssamjang, plus delicious meats, veggies, and lettuce for making ssambap. We ate until we could eat no more and then we ate some more! It was an unforgettable meal.“

“I had the bulgogi rice bowl and WOW it was delicious! reasonably priced and nice staff. will definitely go again and highly recommend this place to others!“

“Just had the Bulgogi with pot stickers and a side of kimchi. Amazingly delicious! I would highly recommend Korean twist. I will be back.“

“Jin Dak is the best Korean in PDX. The bibimbap is absolutely exceptional. Healthy portion, quality ingredients. The kimchi fries are a fun unique side. I’m obsessed with this food cart and hope it stays around forever! 10/10 could not recommend this place enough.

Vegetarian options: Tofu bibimbap is rocking“

“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!“

“A great casual Korean spot with good prices, portions, and flavors. Even though the restaurant name is Mokdong Gimbap, we tried two main dishes: pork cutlet and seafood soon-tofu. I’ve been craving the style of pork cutlet I used to have in Korea, and it was exactly what we were hoping for—so good! While we were enjoying that, the seafood soon-tofu came out, and it was perfectly seasoned, not bland or off at all. We got the medium spice level, which had a nice kick—perfect if you like real Korean spiciness. The seafood in the soon-tofu was fresh and plenty, and the side dishes were authentic and tasted homemade. The owner was super friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Next time, I’ll definitely try their Gimbap!“

“Delicious food ever love the honey spice sauce“

“Food is tasty and good portion. We had the Gamja Tang and Soontofu Jjigae both are tasty. Service is slow, took a while to order and waited quite a while for food. Luckily we grabbed the 2nd last table and by the time we left there’s a line.“

“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!“

“it is in the heart of downtown a couple blocks from Powell Books in the beginning of the park block the most important it is clean and it's a good diversity of food cart they even have a double decker bus that serve coffee in the morning and beer and wine in the evening plenty of seating outside looking at the park block.“

“I didn't get her name, but this one girl I talked to was so sweet!! We talked about the weather in Portland vs California, and a bit about my visit to Japan and she said she'd give me a discount. Which she absolutely did NOT have to do. I just wasn't ready for that discount to be like.. the entire price. I only paid a dollar!?? But I still tipped anyways because this girl is amazing and would love to chat with her again the next time I come by.“

“Love this fusion Korean food!“

“soooo good!! My favorites are the brisket and beef bulgogi. The steamed egg is also amazing. Like a tiny souffle! various condiments... i think next time I'll do a la carte of the meat portions. mostly because after two rounds of AYCE I'm overstuffed and no taking leftovers... can't wait to go back!“

“All you can eat Korean barbecue.“

“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.“

“I've been coming to this restaurant for the past 2-3 years. The food is amazing, i love it, my family loves it. Theres tons of options from the menu. My go-to would be a meal combo included with a meat tray to cook. it's on the expensive side tho. Seafood pancake is a must. Overall, super delicious, filling, with lots of variety, and lots of sides. They used to not charge you on refills for salads and sides, kinda sad about that now. It also depends on who's serving you, because some may be more generous than others. It gets incredibly crowded around dinner time. If you're in there for a long time, the smell can stick onto your clothing, and you'll end up smelling like meat after. It's no biggie. Just come prepared wearing a hat or whatever you're comfortable with. This restaurant is for anyone, including vegetarians. Solid choice for korean bbq 👍.“

“Food is amazing! I got 3 tacos - spicy pork, bulgogi beef, and teriyaki chicken. All were delicious, but the spicy pork and bulgogi beef were my favorites. Would definitely recommend and stop here again when visiting Portland!“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“your restaurant have 5 start from me..the food is delicious. fresh and healthy.“

“After moving from LA to Oregon, we really missed authentic and delicious Korean food. We tried a few places in Beaverton, but many were either too sweet or too salty. Finding this restaurant was such a delight! From the moment you walk in, it feels like stepping back into Korea. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the dishes taste just like grandma’s homemade cooking. Highly recommend it to anyone craving genuine Korean flavors! :)“

“Um, this was THE BEST food I have had in a long time. I got the Chicken Bulgogi and Orange Chicken combo, and the flavor was POPPIN'. I also order the phad thai but it was too spicey for me so I cannot comment on it! It looked so good that I will be ordering it mild soon. The BLK rice is a nice unique touch, and adding the grilled onions was a perfect flavor addition to the chicken dishes. I will be ordering again... every weekend! A must try in Beaverton!“

“This place used to be everywhere in Portland! Their bulgogi burritos and tacos are super interesting and fun with the kimchi.

Today I tried their bulgogi cheese steak and it was super flavorful and interesting..... Just like all their other offerings.“

“Brett @ Koko's makes the best Seoul food hands down. You need to try these guys if your around. You won't be disappointed!“

“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“

“My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed this spot. The restaurant offered a good variety of meals to choose from at a decent price. The meals we ordered were so delicious, my fiancé had to order more to take back down to California - Bay Area.“

“My goodness. It took too much effort to get to edit my review…

This place smells like a Yankee Candle - spend less time on your aesthetics and more on the food (3/14/2025).

The kimchee is 5/5 and picked radish 4/5.

The bulgogi was O.K. It came in an odd dish (presentation) and wasn’t hot (hence the 4 stars). My friend had the hand pulled veggie noodles and said “it’s not like the old place and kinda chewy; Korean hand pulled noodles are dead,” to which I feel like if this place is trying to reignite the old “Dukuhbee Noodle,” that was in PDX a few years back, you’re not living up to it. The food was O.K. Noodles were gooey & floppy and the bibimbap was mediocre. Well priced and edible, but nothing to write home about - especially with all the other Korean “noodle & rice,” houses around the metropolitan area. Also, my bibimbap “fried egg,” add on was neither runny nor particularly fried - it was oddly (perfectly) circular and firm.“

“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“

“Great mix of flavors. I like getting well priced meals that are both satisfying and somewhat healthy. The meats and vegetables always taste fresh, and the service is good. For my money, Koi Fusion is the best thing that has happened yet for the Wilsonville restaurant scene. We need some more innovators like Bo Kwon around here.“

“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.“
