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!!“

“Yes. This place is good. I got the “spicy chicken strips.” They were beautifully fried and crisp. I like my heat and they were not spicy. Still an enjoyable texture, however.

Their side tenders came with pickled radish which was refreshing and not too sweet.

Their side of kimchi mac was a star. Slightly spicy and tasty.

I think when I come again, I want to try their curry mash as that’s suppose to be unique as well.

The pricing was reasonable.“

“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!!!“

“Love the concept. Wood fired meats. Korean BBQ fusion. All in a beautiful space.

We sat at the counter with the heat from the fire warming our faces and watched the cooks crank out dish after dish.

I know there's some debate about value, but I gotta say we ended up with at least two meals because we couldn't finish everything we ordered and took home enough for another quality meal at home.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“I was so happy to find authentic Korean food here in the U.S.—hidden on the second floor of Gmart. This is seriously one of those local-only spots you’d never know about unless someone told you.

Today I ordered kimchi jjigae, and we also got spicy tteokbokki and bulgogi jeongol to share. We were very satisfied with everything, including all the side dishes.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Found a gem for authentic Korean food! 🇰🇷 The cold noodles were incredible—perfectly al dente with a delicious, subtly spicy broth. The blood sausage appetizer was super tasty and came in a very generous portion. Bonus points for the great over-table ventilation setups for Korean BBQ! Service can be a little stretched during rush hours, but it feels like a family-run spot that I 100% support.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Its like your at your grandma house. She's sometimes mean but the food its full of love. Most of the side dishes have a hint of ginger catering towards the old folks. But it makes the food warm and delicious even in the hot weather. Yes the service is harsh but don't take it too deeply since the old folks there are a little rough but in the end your there food the good food :)“

“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.“

“Great service and delicious food!“

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

“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“

“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“

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

“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!!“

“Genuinely one of the best teriyaki meals I’ve had in the local area! Their portion sizes are very generous and tastes are amazing, with old school prices like 2015. The ribeye teriyaki is my personal favorite. Their kimchi is also fresh, perfectly seasoned, and only $1.50 for a medium sized cup, I am not sure if they make it in house but they could fool me that they do. I can also say their chili sauce that they send home is great too, most places keep it simple with sriracha, but their chili has the perfect heat and sweetness!
We also tried their egg rolls and pot stickers and they’re crispy and flavorful. Would really recommend coming here for a quick meal, their lunch special is especially affordable. Our family has been coming here for over 15 years!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 (❁´◡`❁)“

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