50 Best Korean Restaurants near Lake Oswego

“Located inside Niki's cafe inside a business building. Made fresh to order, we tried the bulgogi, ham, and mushroom and avocado ones and they were all delicious, especially the mushroom and avocado one. Waaaay better than Hmart. Great portion sizes for the price too.“

“I stopped by this restaurant while traveling from Los Angeles to Seattle. Coming from LA, I have very high standards when it comes to Korean food, so I didn't expect much at first. But wow—I was pleasantly surprised.

The quality of the food exceeded my expectations, and that's a huge compliment coming from someone who lives in Los Angeles, where great Korean food is everywhere. The portions were also very generous. I'm a pretty big guy, but I still had to ask for a to-go box because I couldn't finish everything.

The waiter, a tall Korean gentleman, was friendly and professional. He struck the perfect balance—attentive without being overly friendly, which I appreciated.

I will definitely be stopping here again on my way back to LA next month. Highly recommended.“

“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!!“

“This was my second time at Frybaby, and I had to bring my friend so she could experience the Korean fried chicken with Snow Cheese since she'd never had either. Theirs, imo, is the best ive had in wa/or. It was just as good as I remembered.

The chicken wings are so crispy and light while still being incredibly juicy. And the Snow Cheese is such a good sweet and savory topping. It kind of reminds me of honey mustard in the best way. It balances two completely different flavors and somehow makes them work together perfectly.

We also tried the kimchi mac. I was expecting more of a traditional creamy mac and cheese with pieces of kimchi mixed in, but it was more like a pasta with a kimchi-flavored white sauce. I personally would have preferred something cheesier with actual pieces of kimchi throughout. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t quite what I was expecting from a kimchi mac.

The cucumber salad was another highlight. It was fresh, crunchy, flavorful, and a really nice contrast to the richness of the fried chicken and pasta.

If you’re looking for Korean fried chicken in Portland, Frybaby is definitely worth checking out. The Snow Cheese chicken is the thing I’d recommend most, especially if you like that sweet and savory combination. It’s the kind of dish that makes you immediately understand why you had to come back for it.“

“One of the best Korean restaurants in town! We drive 40 minutes just to eat here, even though there are plenty of Korean restaurants near us. Nothing compares to Bibim.

Not only is the food consistently delicious, but it's also a family-owned business, which makes the experience even more special. Their daughter is one of the kindest people you'll meet, she always goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome.

Every dish is full of flavor, fresh, and made with so much care. If you haven't tried Bibim yet, you're seriously missing out on some of the best Korean food around.

I'm genuinely rooting for this business because they truly deserve to thrive. Supporting local family-owned restaurants like this is always worth it, and I'll happily keep making the 40-minute drive for their incredible food. ❤“

“Nice Korean restaurant in an odd neighborhood in Southeast Portland. The food was excellent. A large piece of meat to share with various sides you put into lettuce wraps. Great chicken wings appetizer. Friendly, knowledgeable wait staff. Nice alcohol selection including craft beer. Told others at our meeting to go and will definitely return.“

“A fried chicken sando… that instantly lets you know what you have been missing in life!

It’s not for a picky eater! This sando is for people who love food, and are okay with things as it comes!

The guy was SUPER SUPER NICE! Huge smile and friendly.

Thank you for the amazing food and service!“

“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!! 😎“

“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!“

“The food and service were amazing! We ordered the kimchi pancake and spicy pork. Huge portions along with the banchan. The waiter offered a bowl of rice for our baby too without even asking. It’s the little things that make a big difference. We’ll be back to try more yummy food!“

“It seems like an impossible task to capture a Korean BBQ in a food cart, but somehow they do it. I get the pork belly and the slightly higher price point verses other carts is well-worth it, as there's easily enough for leftovers. You will have to physically restrain yourself from finishing it, though.“

“Delicious food ever love the honey spice sauce“

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

“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!“

“This spot is an absolute gem! We ordered a big spread—the spicy Dubu Kimchi (tofu & pork), sizzling spicy beef soup, crispy grilled fish, and dumplings were all packed with rich, authentic flavor.
Generous portions, fresh banchan (side dishes), and warm, cozy vibes. Piping hot and delicious from start to finish.

Sorry of the photo because the food were too good that I have to eat first , can't wait“

“I’ve been coming to JCD Korean BBQ for almost a year now, and I’ve loved it from the very first visit. The food is absolutely amazing, and even after trying other Korean BBQ restaurants, nothing compares to JCD. The quality, flavor, and overall experience keep us coming back every time.

What truly sets this place apart is the staff. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making every visit feel special. This was my second time celebrating my birthday here, and they went above and beyond by gifting me an awesome shirt, which made the experience even more memorable.

If you’re looking for incredible food and outstanding service, I can’t recommend JCD enough. We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“This Food cart has the best wings around. Sweet and savory, crunchy and Flavorful. The Burgers are definitely different than anywhere I've had And amazing with cool city street choices! This is definitely a must go to spot! 10/10“

“Polite young employee helped us yesterday. Served up some really well cooked, crispy wings and really good spring rolls, not too oily or mushy or anything, clean, good area, outdoor seating.
The inside looks a lil post covid...lots of unused space. But dont let it dissuade you. Good food.“

“Hands down some of, if not the, best Korean food I’ve had in Portland. Hand pulled noodles were delightfully spicy, kimchi had a really nice kick as well, and the Galbi Bulgogi had my boyfriend and I shaking our heads in disbelief and satisfaction. Servers were super friendly and promptly brought out our drinks, sides, and silverware, while we watched the World Cup finale. We were smiling and absolutely demolished our food, surprising considering the portions were very large for the price! We will 110% be back, and we strongly recommend this to everyone!“

“Love this fusion Korean food!“

“My boyfriend and I have been coming here for a while, and we absolutely love this place! ˗ˋˏᰔᩚˎˊ˗ 👦🏻👧🏻

The Korean food is always so delicious and full of flavor. The portions are generous, and everything we’ve tried has been consistently delicious. 🇰🇷🍜🥘🍺🥢

The owner is also incredibly kind and welcoming. 👩🏻She always greets us so warmly whenever we come in, and her friendly personality makes us feel so comfortable and welcomed every time.

We always enjoy eating here. This is definitely one of our favorite Korean restaurants 😋“

“Stopped in around noon last Friday for lunch. There were about 8 people in line placing orders, plus the phone was ringing off the hook for takeout orders, so obviously this place is popular. I ordered the yakisoba noodles with chicken ($12) and my friend ordered the lunch special ($13) that included chicken teriyaki, 3 potstickers, and a fountain drink. Plenty of booth and table seating. It took about 20 minutes for the food to arrive, but worth the wait. The portions were huge, and everything was delicious and well prepared. I ended up taking the leftovers home and still had plenty for lunch the next day. I will definitely go back again to try some of the other menu items.“

“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!“

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

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

“All you can eat Korean barbecue.“

“I have only been here once, but I can't wait to go back. The bulgogi bibimbap was so flavorful, and such a generous portion. And kimchi was the tastiest I have ever had. The service was very friendly and kind, and fast. I can't wait to try more menu items.“

“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!“

“I had the tofu soup and the BBQ beef short ribs. I’m not sure if the flavors are completely authentic, but I really enjoyed everything. The tofu soup was rich, comforting, and full of flavor, and the BBQ beef short ribs were tender and delicious. The portions were generous, and the meal left me feeling very satisfied. I would definitely come back the next time I’m in the area.“

“Had the yakisoba, the dumplings and the Kana moo Krob. Everything was full of flavor, well balanced, and filling. Plates were cleared and the staff was awesome. Honestly such a great place, would recommend for a low key date with good, quality food.“

“First, everyone here is so friendly. But mostly, the food is amazing!! So fresh, homemade, and the best I've had anywhere around here. I've missed actual good, high quality korean food since moving to Oregon. This was such a wonderful find!! I take everyone I know here and order it through GrubHub when I cant make it in person. I LOVE YOU SEOUL! 💕“

“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!“

“I love this restaurant so much! But I wish they open one in Portland, everybody knows Portland are known for nightlife and varieties of restaurants, how come this delicious restaurant is not open in Portland? I hope it will come to Portland where it attracts more customers.“

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

“Loved it. Food was really good. But Portland in general has great food. Had the noodles and most of the menu. Brought the family. The woman owner was amazingly friendly and accommodating with my wife’s allergy. We would most certainly go again and again.“

“Solid teriyaki, consistent, flavorful, good portions, and a great place that has lasted and endured. I like the salad, the vibe, a great lunch spot. Call it in and just know it’s popular and busy, it’s worth it. It’s busy for a reason and they usually have it on point during the rush. Great community, and like I said, solid. You know if you go, and if you go, you know.“

“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.“

“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“

“Such a unique and elevated dining experience at such a reasonable price! The broths are amazing and the portion sizes are generous and hearty! Our only one and small complaint is the chairs indoors are a little uncomfortable but this place is an experience truly worth your time and money!“

“This is my FAVORITE malatang spot in Portland ˙ᵕ˙ᰔ

The flavor is always sooo good—literally #1!

The staff here are the sweetest 🥰 They were super kind and even helped us figure out parking tonight, which we really appreciated!

Good food and kind people (❁´◡`❁)“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“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!“

“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“

“What a great time! Love this place. Makes me feel so at home.“

“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.“

“My friend and I came for the Greek restaurant but as soon as we got out of the car we smelled the intoxicating barbecue two doors down. We both had bulgogi, chicken for me and beef for her. She had steamed vegetables, I had kimchi and we both opted for the black rice. Everything was delicious and the portions were HUGE! Definitely a great value for the reasonably priced menu. They even offer complimentary egg flower soup. There are more items on the menu that I want to try so we'll absolutely come back. The young man at the register is very pleasant and the kitchen staff is talented. Heat warning on the Kimchi! It's delicious, although quite spicy!“

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“Always fresh and yum!“
