One of the best Asian Meals I've ever had. I need to find the pictures and post.

Really excellent food at great prices, welcoming and kind people. I will return...Edit: ownership changed and it became really bad. Everything fell off

Visited the restaurant which had signs sayin gathering are open on the street and lights in restaurant are on. Found parking and only discovered small sign indoor saying they will reopen. Please remove the street signs saying “Open” if you are not open. Thank you.

Place is closed. They need to update their social webpage because I wasted transportation fee.

This place is a complete mess. First off, all their information online is incorrect. Their hours of operation and menu are all incorrect. Went their thinking it opened at 11am per online information, had to wait 30mins outside.Secondly, the personnel that works there has no idea what they are serving. They pose this place as a Korean restaurant, but no one there knows what Korean food is. I finally convinced them, through their own menu, that they DO have jyajyangmyeon. They had no idea what this was, nor would they grasp the fact that I am pointing to the item on the menu yet they still didnt know what it was. After finally convincing them that this is indeed an item on the menu that they serve, they took my order. I was the first customer in the establishment today. Three additional parties come. They all order good. The second and third tables start getting their main entrees. Still without my food. I go and confront the "manager" who I painstakingly had to deal with about this menu item for 10mins, just 30-40 mins before. He tells me that the order slip accidentally didnt go through, and the cook is just getting my order. Absolutely ridiculous. I left the place without even seeing the food that I drove 30mins to eat, then waited another 45mins just sitting there, all while not knowing that they werent even making my food during this wait. I am beyond livid. Wasted 2hrs of my day.BTW, I also ordered korean gimbap. This is not korean gimbap.If you guys want Korean food, this is not the place to go. The servers have no idea what they are doing, or what they are serving. I would suggest never going to this place, you will save a lot of time and anger.Anyone can contact me for more information.

I definitely chose the wrong time to come in during the lunch rush. BUT overall, the staff was really friendly and as soon as my order was placed they had it out in no time at all! I only tried the yook gae jang so far, but I'll definitely be coming back here again (:

I had really high hopes for this place but sadly it really let me down. I payed extra for the “DOLSOT BIBIMBAP” which is a dish where the rice is supposed to be crispy on the bottom due to the hot bowl and unfortunately it was just regular steamed rice. They were out of all meat options so beef it was! I’m not exaggerating when I say there was about 3 bites with beef, they were so sparing with the protein. The service was ok, as the staff was friendly but unfortunately I won’t be back since the food left so much to be desired.

Dined in last night with a group of friends. The lone server was polite enough but seemed confused and told us they were out of whiskey when we saw there was plenty at the bar. Server put in my diet coke order but then offered a sprite and had to be corrected. I ordered the pork soondubu which was bland and watery and lacked flavor. My partner had the dolsot bibimbap which was also not very flavorful. Banchan was limited and not very flavorful. Our dining companions were also not impressed and there were some order screw-ups. The food might be good if you've never tried Korean food before. I love Korean food and really wanted to like this place, but sadly I will not return.

I had a really hard day at work and didn't want to cook so I ordered food to go. I live really close and hadn't tried Happy Bibimbap House 2 yet. It was easy to order on the phone with them and they were so nice. They had it ready in 10 minutes. It was hot when I got it. They were SO friendly and wrote this on my order. I needed that more than they'll ever understand. ❤️ Thank you and you have a new regular! Delicious food too!

Came here for my friends birthday dinner, really disappointing. The food was bland and cold, the drinks tasted like sanitizing water. Our waiter was also very rude at the end, saying that we should keep an open mind to trying new things (mind you we ordered food we usually order at other Korean restaurants) and was trying to make us feel guilty for not liking the food. Very unprofessional of him. Never coming here again and would not recommend.
The only thing enjoyable about my experience was the bidet. However I'm sure the dirty bar of soap sitting on the bathroom sink doesn't meet County health standards. Food was bland and blah, had the Dolsot Bibimbap and there wasn't anything I could dump on it to make it edible.An older gent sat in the corner near the front door and spoke loudly while only 2 tables dined, so quiet except for his loud boisterous conversation with someone on the phone. Did I say this place was blah? My stomach hasn't stopped bothering me since I left.

Sadly, we have to echo the disappointing reviews. My Soondubu was a huge let down. It barely had any pieces of meat, some tofu and a clear spicy broth. My husband's dolsot bibimbap was also lacking the flavor with very meager amount of meat. The Panjeon is as thin ay the crepe. Yeah its a No for us. We definitely had better elsewhere. The ratings did not reflect our experience.

They don't seem too familiar with their menu.. missing rice cake in my rice cake soup lol and food was bland.. did not eat our food and left because the waitress tried to tell us our soup doesn't come with ricecake but we pointed out the ingredients under the menu item and it clearly says there is ricecake in the dish. no discount or a sorry ?

The people who work here are so kind and patient! Came in to eat and they brought a scallion pancake with small side dishes on the house. A rude man came in to yell about his online order and they dealt with the situation with grace. Thank you and I’m sorry you had to deal with him!I ordered the beef bibimbap, can’t wait to try more!

Love this space, the original one is in Salem and have always been generous with giving extra fruits/pancake. They've grown with their other locations as well. Happy to see them in Portland now.
