50 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!“

“I was looking for a late night restaurant and decided to give this place a try. The kimchi soup was flavorful and spicy, I really loved it! All the dishes were tasty, though the steamed egg was a bit too bland for my taste. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a spot to eat and drink late at night in a relaxed atmosphere.“

“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!!“

“It seemed like a small family owned restaurant with authentic korean home cooked meal. I ordered the pork fried gyoza & spicy soondubu soup which came with japchae (glass noodle salad) and rice. Their 'spicy' is a level 7 and the added 'special pork' in the soondubu was the highlight of the dinner.
The place is small, maybe max capacity 20 and the servers was hospitable.

I'd recommend this place for the flavor & its simplicity when you want to grab a peaceful bite on a busy day!“

“I haven't been in person just yet, but have ordered from this place many times. Delicious gluten-free fried chicken every single time! Although I can't seem to find any info on if the other things are gf as well. Mac n cheese? Gravy? The sando? Would love to know.“

“We discovered this place and on our way home decided to pick up some food. I ordered the 16 piece Yang yum chicken, and the Beef Bulgogi with the mandu potstickers. Everything was absolutely delicious. I have friends who adopted a Korean boy a while and they included me in the gotcha day celebration at a Korean BBQ which was delicious too. this place is the bomb. I highly recommend Hearty K-Bop.“

“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!! 😎“

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

“I was trying to go to Tomo Ramen next door, but they were slammed. I saw the sign for Mokdong and decided to give it a try. I ordered the gyoza, bacon kimbap, pork katsu, and mango hard tea. The food was so delicious that I only got a pic of my drink, and the portions were so generous that I had plenty of leftovers. All the dishes came with pickled veggies and dressed salads/ garnish. It might be the best pork katsu I’ve had in the city, and the employees were kind and attentive. Absolutely recommend, you may miss it by just walking by!“

“Incredible. The food was delicious and unexpected, the service was TOP TIER (Thank you Kamile!) and the attention to detail was so welcoming. We loved the private room, the chef's tasting menu, and the KARAOKE- what a wild addition that really brought us closer together as a group. HUGE glowing recommendation from us- we'll be coming back for more.“

“Super good! Boneless Fried Chicken w/ Korean Spicy Sauce: Crispy, spicy, tender inside and very generous portion. Sides of fluffy rice and fresh salad w/ a lite ginger dressing AND the radish kimchi was superb! Great crunch! Highly recommend!“

“My son and I got the Korean fried chicken bentos. This is some of the best Korean fried chicken I’ve had in the NW. I loved the thin strips of seasoned scallion they added to my bento. And my son and I loved the red bean rice. It reminded me of my mom’s homemade red bean rice. I loved the warm, clean indoor dining area. I will be back to eat here again!“

“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.“

“Delicious food ever love the honey spice sauce“

“When I visit Portland, I make a point of dining at the so‑called must‑try restaurants, but most of them end up being disappointing. However, this place—located on the second floor of a Korean market—is very simple yet surprisingly delicious. Whenever I go to G Mart to pick up sale items, I usually stop here for a meal.
The food here is much better than at Jeju, Hanok, or other Korean restaurants. Another advantage is that after finishing your meal, you can conveniently do your grocery shopping right downstairs. The prices are reasonable, and most of the menu items taste excellent. This is definitely a place I recommend.“

“Amazing Korea food with low pricing. Very generous with appetizer free serving, there’s even crab that’s so tasty! Rice seems also free to serve, but comes with very pleasant steam bowl. Bibimbap is good and the portion is quite big! I love your Kalbi that’s wonderful. I’ll need to come back for it!!“

“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.“

“On top of the food being amazing, if you eat-in, they serve you, and the food is plated in a really nice way! The employees we interacted with were so nice!!! (Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the food/presentation, we were too busy shoving the delicious food in our faces) but the food was amazing, chicken was crispy and the soy garlic flavor was very pleasant, fries were thick and crispy, and the sauces were a good match. Will definitely be returning!“

“I just visited JCD BBQ with a group of three friends, and we were absolutely blown away! From the moment we walked in, the place was spotless and inviting. The atmosphere is super clean and comfortable, which is always a huge plus for a K-BBQ spot.

​The food was outstanding—everything came out tasty, fresh, and incredibly filling. We left completely satisfied (and maybe a little too full!).

​But what really made the night special was the service. The staff were all exceptional, but I have to give a massive shout-out to Danny (Clark). He went absolutely above and beyond for our table. He was hilarious, kept the energy up, and made sure we had everything we needed before we even had to ask.

​Danny is definitely part of the reason we’ll be coming back soon. If you’re looking for great food and even better service, this is the place to go!

From your friend Big Mo“

“Love this fusion Korean food!“

“All you can eat Korean barbecue.“

“This place is has totally won me over. Would have taken a picture of the food but I ate it ALL immediately! The wings steal the show; large, juicy, fried to perfection and I loved that they served the mala sauce on the side for dipping! Sweet, spicy, garlicky perfection. The dumplings and egg rolls were also phenomenal. Everything tastes like it’s made with love, do not pass up this food cart💜“

“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!“

“The Bulgogi + Dukuhbee Noodle is small but MIGHTY!!! Don’t believe me, go try it for yourself and see you won’t be disappointed. There food is amazing, full of flavor, and presented beautifully. The menu can be hard to make sense of, but once you get to the kiosk it becomes easy. The kiosk is very user friendly. The customer service was fantastic, the gentlemen that served us and was attending to the other guests was extremely kind and friendly. He made our visit that much better.

For the first visit I would recommend mild to no spicy, not because they can be real spicy, but so you can really taste the fresh noodles. We got 1 Yum(appetizer), 2 Dukuhbee(hand pulled) Noodle dishes. The yum was beef Mandoo. It was crispy and crunchy. It had a delicious sweet sauce drizzled over them. My friend got the Pork Dukuhbee mild spicy. Basically non-spicy BUT you could really taste the noodles. The pork was soft, rich, and satisfying. Everything blended well together. I got the Kimchi & bacon Dukuhbee medium spicy. Mine wasn’t really spicy but because of the blend of spice, saltiness from the bacon, and kimchi I didn’t get the full taste of the noodles like my friend did. I’m not disappointed with my choice, I’m just giving you a heads up in case you venture out like I did. Heads up they do put a hefty serving of cheese on top of the noodles that I mixed in. Next time I’d ask for less cheese. If you choose the kimchi & bacon, either you have to be a Kimchi person or be adventurous with your entrees.

Parking can be meh! We got SUPER lucky and got a spot right in front. Either way it’s doable, just park down a side street and walk there. We will definitely be back, there’s more things in the menu we want to try! Hope you enjoy them.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Have the Korean Corn dog and the fried chicken last night. Both were fantastic. The corn dog was big and crunchy with sweet & spicy sauce. Chicken was flavorful and crunchy too. Will be back“

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

“This place is delicious.
I was hooked after my first visit.
I love the Meat Jajangmyeon which is pictured here along with the Fried Dumplings. Definitely recommend going here if you have not already. No wait for seating. Less than 10 minutes wait for our food. Place is clean and well managed. Plenty of parking. Outdoor seating available.“

“I’ve been twice in a month because it is that good. They specialize in soft tofu soups and seafood dishes, but you can also get other basic Korean dishes. Very, very good rotational banchan (sides) and some of the best kimchi in town. The squid and mackerel are 🤌“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“It’s a nice Korean restaurant in a not very nice area 😂 but the food was top tier! We ordered bulgogi and ox bone soup they tasted delicious! The server was very nice even tho she’s on her own deal with all the tables but she worked really really hard“

“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“

“The best Koba grill location, the portions are a bit bigger than the Sherwood or N Beaverton location. I made the mistake of visiting those locations once each and I ain’t going back. The menu seemed different there as well. Very friendly service by staff, I’ve been here dozens of times getting food for business meetings, etc. I like their beef/rice entrees“

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“Best lollipop chicken and garlic noodles in town!! Great friendly owners :)“

“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!“

“Wonderful spot for a late night bite! Came here with a friend after being out seeing music, we got bah mi to eat in and then I also got a vegetable and rice dish to take home. We're both vegetarian; there's a decent selection and what we had was all super delicious. The sweet potato fries that come with the sandwich were some of the best I've ever had (and I'm picky about my sweet potato fries).

Service was friendly, prompt, and accommodating. Environment is nice but still comfortable and casual enough to be at ease. There's 4 TVs playing different things, felt a bit brain rot over stimulation-u, but they were all muted so it wasn't intrusive.

Great place!“

“I ate here weekly while I lived near there and loved it. Price was good, food delicious and darned if they didn’t remember what I ordered when I can in. Just had to hand them payment. Moved to Hillsboro so I don’t go now, but I miss them a bunch.

Bob (chicken, extra chicken, no veggie) 👍🏻“

“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.“

“family friendly and a beautiful environment ❤️ Just love this place“

“Cozy place nestled in downtown beaverton. I love the fact that it represents Korean food so well by being not just spicy, red, and all kimchi like many of them are. The variety of flavors and spices is what I enjoyed while I was in Korea. The staff is friendly and takes time to engage and explain the menu.“

“Du’s is my favorite! I’m from out of town and look forward to it every time I visit PDX. Delicious food, giant portions, and it’s that rare place every person in my family loves without exception.“

“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!“
