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.“

“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!!“

“A hidden gem nestled conveniently on 23rd. Spicy gyoza with crispy cabbage, Spicy beef burrito with tender rice, & Spicy sauces on the side! Ultra-friendly, attentive service provided in a cozy, laid back atmosphere. A new neighborhood favorite!!!“

“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!! 😎“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best Korean wings ever!! I’m obsessed with the sauce, especially the mandoo sauce 😍 The shrimp noodles are sooo good too..the shrimp tastes super fresh (not fishy at all), and the noodles are made from starch. And OMG you have to try the ribs 🤤 sooo goooood!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“What a great experience and lovely food! The woman who waited me today was very patient and kind. She explained a better deal for what I was wanting to eat. She also offered me a to-go container and more of a side I wanted to pack and take with me. I highly recommend the Curry Tofu and be sure to try the seaweed side.“

“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.“

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“OMG This place is da bomb! My wife, MIL and I ate there for the first time recently. At first I was a little concerned because my MIL wanted to order traditional Korean BBQ (which isn't what this place is about). However, after ordering and tasting the Nagasaki JJamppong, the Fried chicken (we got half soy, and half spicy), the kimchee fried rice and the Rose TTeokbokki, (plus the cucumber pickles) we were all blown away by how delicious everything was! The only possible downside is that I wish there were more tables. But then again if it was much larger maybe the chef wouldn't be able to spend as much time on each order so maybe it is perfect the way it is. I almost don't want to write this review because then I might have to wait longer the next time I go, but a great restaurant deserves to be acknowledged for what it is!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This was one of the most enchanting, beautiful and downright fun meals I've had in Portland. We've lived down Hawthorne from this place for forever and finally tried it and it was SUCH a delight.

The portions. The atmosphere. The flavors. The presentation. The friendliness!

I ordered the seafood ramen and the best way I can encapsulate it is this: if you ever find yourself going on a first - no, SECOND - date with someone, come here and share the seafood ramen together. You will discover so much about each other.

This ramen is layers on layers on layers. It is endless. You will discover sea creatures you didn't know existed. It is a bounty. It is a treasure chest. It is a journey.

The whole experience was just so magical. Everything from the wonderful staff helping us pick out menu items, to the sake flight, to the gigantic and gorgeous ramen bowls, was perfection ❤️❤️❤️“

“I went for lunch here for the first time and got the soup option. I got a stainless steel mixing bowl and added fresh cabbage, bok choy, sprouts, mushrooms, chives, shrimp, surimi/crab, dumplings, beef, and corn flour noodles. The hostess asked me whether I wanted a soup or stir fry. I opted for soup. I felt like my soup bowl came pretty quickly and everything was cooked in the most delicious vegetarian based broth. The broth had so much flavor and complemented all of my veggies, seafood, and meat so well. I loved it. I got a one star spice level and it was perfect for me. If you can’t handle spicy food, let your server know after you’ve put your bowl together so that they know to not add too much red pepper. Say that you want “zero stars” and add that you don’t want pepper. I definitely coming back here. It was a generous amount of food and it felt healthy.“

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