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!“

“This has become our favorite Korean food joint. Just went there again for dinner and it’s simply delicious. Slowly working our way through the menu, but had yet to find a dish that isn’t a winner. Also they never feel too crowded, can always find a table, at least the times we’ve gone, and parking has been good as well.“

“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!!“

“Fantastic! Came here for lunch, had sweet and spicy potstickers, bibimbap and cup bop. So flavorful, fresh, delicious with excellent service and suggestions from our waitress. Definitely added to the list of our favorites! A delightful meal!“

“Been waiting to try this place FOREVER and was blown away by the food. Snow cheese drumsticks were perfect. Gochujang drumsticks almost as perfect, really nice crunch and tangy coating. Lots of attention to detail with the pickles and shredded greens on the side. Honestly though any place that hands you food service plastic gloves to eat your meal with is a win in my book, oh and our toddler loved it too! Bonus was reheating the chicken in our oven at home and broiling the snow cheese at the end. Got some crazy char and unlocked many new bonus levels of flavor. Oh and and gluten free items clearly marked with no reactions to any of the foods. Bangin!“

“We got the tasting menu and every course was delicious. The bacon was the standout favorite, but we loved everything. It was my husband's birthday and they brought him a scoop of cardamom ice cream with a candle in it, and that was fantastic too. How do you make mugwort whipped cream? I don't know, but that was amazing too. Excellent service, wonderful cocktails. We'll definitely be back.“

“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!! 😎“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Delicious food ever love the honey spice sauce“

“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.“

“I visited here alone for my birthday, and the experience was wonderful. The staff were so kind and welcoming—they even surprised me with free French fries! It made me feel less lonely and was honestly one of the best gifts I received for my birthday.
Regarding the food, I ordered the Half and Half (Soy Garlic & King Spicy), and both were top-notch. I also tried the new Cheese Wings, which were perfectly savory and crunchy.
I’ll definitely be back for the food, the service, and the genuine kindness I felt here 🤍“

“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“

“Very authentic and full of heart. The cooking feels traditional and deeply rooted in Korean home-style flavors. Every dish tastes carefully prepared, well-balanced, and true to its origins. You can tell this is food made with experience and pride. Easily one of the best spots for genuine Korean cuisine. Highly recommend.“

“This place is fantastic and open late on weekdays! Nestled right in Cedar Hills Crossing, it's hidden behind Plaid Pantry. Very friendly staff, INCREDIBLE food. We got the BBQ combo and it was perfect. So deliciously fresh and so much food for the price. I highly recommend and will be back with the whole family!“

“Love this fusion Korean food!“

“Update: I have returned to this restaurant a few times after the last review. I believe in chances, this place still serves the great good. Definitely different than your typical Kalbi beef. I've become a regular there now 😁.
We've been here around 5 or 6 times now. The food always been consistent we enjoyed that very much. But my latest visit leaves me with consideration of every giving this family own place my business again. The waitress tonight are the MOST unwelcoming individuals you can encounter. None of them greet people with a smile. I let it be they might be tired, but being a family own place you really have to want to keep your customers more than ever. They just took our order, brought the food out half-ass, I asked for bowls to share, she gave us soup CUPS to eat in. Never she came by to check if we need our water refill (after i submitted this a different waitress came to check-in) or how the food was. And this place only ⅓ filled with people so they are not busy.“

“We enjoyed bibimbap today at the Ko Sisters Seoul Oak Tree Station location, and were so happy with our meal! The team at their food truck was incredibly kind, the food was ready quickly and the portion was generous. The food was delicious and we can wait to return!“

“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!“

“I had an amazing meal the other night. The Bulgogi DuKuhBee is known for their hand pulled noodles, but we also got to try a lot of other Korean staples like Bibimbap, Korean fried chicken, bulgogi, japchae, and more.

We devoured everything and left no crumbs but the dishes I would likely gravitate back towards are the hand pulled noodles, wings, and actually the Mandoo!

The hand pulled noodles were coated nicely with a spicy sauce and had a great chew to them. I loved the thickness of the noodles and added crunch from the cabbage and other veggies. Half sweet and half spicy for the wings was the way to go - each wing was doused in sauce and sesame seeds but still maintained its crunch. As someone that doesn’t usually like wings, these were fantastic. Lastly, the Mandoo surprised me! It was the sauce that sealed the deal. It was like a thousand island, poppy seed kind of dressing that worked very well. I couldn’t stop eating them.

If you’re looking for authentic Korean food, this is the 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!“

“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!“

“All you can eat Korean barbecue.“

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

“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!“

“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 🤌“

“We got takeout here yesterday… Service was really good. The girl at the counter was super sweet and made accommodations for us then even checked our order to make sure everything was correct. It was a struggle to find Jajangmyun on a Monday everywhere that I could think of was closed. We will be back! Their combo deals look like a great deal! Looking forward to next time“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“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.“

“We came to So Kong Dong Tofu & BBQ for a birthday dinner and had a really nice time. The BBQ was tasty, the chicken bibimbap was great, and the white rice wine was a nice touch. The vibe was comfortable and perfect for celebrating. Would definitely come back.“

“Ate lunch there yesterday (Valentine's Day) with my wife and our little girls. Staff was extremely welcoming and patient, and made the kids feel right at home. Food was made at a very reasonable pace - and it was utterly amazing. We had the pork bulgogi, the sampler plate, and orange chicken with gyoza for the kids.

Going here is a must!“

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“Wonderful street food and cocktail vibes.... backlit holes in the dark walls give a delightful ambiance to a Short Round visit. Every time we drop in, we make an attempt to try something different, and I have yet to be disappointed. I've somehow missed out on becoming a wing connousieur, but I'm turning into a big fan of the ones here. So far, we haven't gone wrong with whatever drink special they have, any random Thai dish that sounds interesting, and an order of wings. Short Round is quickly becoming a favorite spot when we're looking for something quick and genuinely tasty. Ordering at the counter and taking a number to your table makes service quick and painless.“

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

“As a fellow restraunt owner, this is beyond amazing and the price is better than any other teryaki compared. They give you a full plate of food and the people working there are sweet and kind especially the lady who takes the orders. Will come back“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“All you can eat Korean barbecue.“

“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.“

“Probably one of the most generous portions of ramen in town. The space is very crowded and it is mostly self serve. Service is quick and the ramen tastes rich. Perhaps not the most Japanese flavor of ramen, but delicious nonetheless. The use of quail eggs is unique. Great value and fast casual.“
