50 Best Korean Restaurants near Tualatin

“I ate here weekly while I lived near there and loved it. Price was good, food delicious and darned if they didn’t remember what I ordered when I can in. Just had to hand them payment. Moved to Hillsboro so I don’t go now, but I miss them a bunch.

“I enjoyed my food a lot—an order of shrimp yakisoba with soy and orange sauce on the sticky rice, a bottle of pineapple 🍍 flavored Mexican Faygo, and a side of potstickers for the table to share—and found it both filling and satisfying.
Especially considering the relatively late hour (≈8:30pm-9:00pm) and the fairly cheap price-point of the entire dish ($17.50 for the Yakisoba; $2.50 for the drink; ≈$5 for the Potstickers?) I can't complain overmuch.

Unfortunately the service wasn't terribly great, so I will be complaining somewhat.
My main issues:
• The cashier didn't really understand the questions I asked him, and I couldn't really understand what he said to me in response; therefore I just ordered exactly by the number.
• Despite ordering exactly as pictured, the others with me in my party didn't get the broccoli that was supposed to be in their Teriyaki Chicken/Steak bowls; mine was fine though. 🤷🏽‍♂️
• We didn't get our side of potstickers with our meals; after waiting ≈15 minutes, I went to the counter to mention it to the cashier. After the initial language confusion, he became very apologetic and brought them out promptly—they were crispy and rather good, so ultimately it wasn't an issue.

The main reasons I bring up these issues is because of the three of us, I had to handle each issue rather than my siblings. Each of them felt uncomfortable dealing with things, but for different reasons.
My sister didn't want to ask anyone to repeat things or clarify what someone said, so she just stood uncomfortably and waited for one of us to explain things to her.
By brother was annoyed by the missing broccoli 🥦 and kept grumbling about the money spent on the Potstickers, but dislikes confrontation, so he just glared into his rice.
So I went up, mentioned the issues—nicely, politely, asking instead of making demands—got them resolved easily, moved on with our meals and our nights; everyone was happy.

We'll all definitely be coming back again.
Most likely for late-night dinners or a quick snack before events or activities.“

“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!“

“I haven't been in person just yet, but have ordered from this place many times. Delicious gluten-free fried chicken every single time! Although I can't seem to find any info on if the other things are gf as well. Mac n cheese? Gravy? The sando? Would love to know.“

“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!! 😎“

“Just had the Bulgogi with pot stickers and a side of kimchi. Amazingly delicious! I would highly recommend Korean twist. I will be back.“

“I was trying to go to Tomo Ramen next door, but they were slammed. I saw the sign for Mokdong and decided to give it a try. I ordered the gyoza, bacon kimbap, pork katsu, and mango hard tea. The food was so delicious that I only got a pic of my drink, and the portions were so generous that I had plenty of leftovers. All the dishes came with pickled veggies and dressed salads/ garnish. It might be the best pork katsu I’ve had in the city, and the employees were kind and attentive. Absolutely recommend, you may miss it by just walking by!“

“Incredible. The food was delicious and unexpected, the service was TOP TIER (Thank you Kamile!) and the attention to detail was so welcoming. We loved the private room, the chef's tasting menu, and the KARAOKE- what a wild addition that really brought us closer together as a group. HUGE glowing recommendation from us- we'll be coming back for more.“

“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!“

“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.“

“When I visit Portland, I make a point of dining at the so‑called must‑try restaurants, but most of them end up being disappointing. However, this place—located on the second floor of a Korean market—is very simple yet surprisingly delicious. Whenever I go to G Mart to pick up sale items, I usually stop here for a meal.
The food here is much better than at Jeju, Hanok, or other Korean restaurants. Another advantage is that after finishing your meal, you can conveniently do your grocery shopping right downstairs. The prices are reasonable, and most of the menu items taste excellent. This is definitely a place I recommend.“

“Amazing Korea food with low pricing. Very generous with appetizer free serving, there’s even crab that’s so tasty! Rice seems also free to serve, but comes with very pleasant steam bowl. Bibimbap is good and the portion is quite big! I love your Kalbi that’s wonderful. I’ll need to come back for it!!“

“it is in the heart of downtown a couple blocks from Powell Books in the beginning of the park block the most important it is clean and it's a good diversity of food cart they even have a double decker bus that serve coffee in the morning and beer and wine in the evening plenty of seating outside looking at the park block.“

“This place is great! The jjamppong here is my favorite. My husband and I have been here a handful of times, tried many dishes, and can't get enough. The service is great, the food is super tasty and very well priced, and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing.“

“I just visited JCD BBQ with a group of three friends, and we were absolutely blown away! From the moment we walked in, the place was spotless and inviting. The atmosphere is super clean and comfortable, which is always a huge plus for a K-BBQ spot.

​The food was outstanding—everything came out tasty, fresh, and incredibly filling. We left completely satisfied (and maybe a little too full!).

​But what really made the night special was the service. The staff were all exceptional, but I have to give a massive shout-out to Danny (Clark). He went absolutely above and beyond for our table. He was hilarious, kept the energy up, and made sure we had everything we needed before we even had to ask.

​Danny is definitely part of the reason we’ll be coming back soon. If you’re looking for great food and even better service, this is the place to go!

From your friend Big Mo“

“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!“

“Kimchi and rice with an egg on top🤯😳🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
So good
Awesome customer service from
The young man behind the counter. He is Patient when you don’t know what you want
🩵🩵🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you
Awesome cook
Awesome owner and son

(The lady with the glasses that is there often on the computer with dark hair is interesting. She has a foul energy when women come to sit and eat when their skin doesn’t match hers… someone else I know said they noticed her side eyeing them also. I thought it was just me..)
Her attitude does not exceed the establishment. I just ignore her dry demeanor.“

“Love this fusion Korean food!“

“I was looking for a late night restaurant and decided to give this place a try. The kimchi soup was flavorful and spicy, I really loved it! All the dishes were tasty, though the steamed egg was a bit too bland for my taste. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a spot to eat and drink late at night in a relaxed atmosphere.“

“Fantastic food. EVERYTHING is great including the service. The Thai iced tea is amazing“

“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!“

“Have the Korean Corn dog and the fried chicken last night. Both were fantastic. The corn dog was big and crunchy with sweet & spicy sauce. Chicken was flavorful and crunchy too. Will be back“

“This place is delicious.
I was hooked after my first visit.
I love the Meat Jajangmyeon which is pictured here along with the Fried Dumplings. Definitely recommend going here if you have not already. No wait for seating. Less than 10 minutes wait for our food. Place is clean and well managed. Plenty of parking. Outdoor seating available.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“The best Koba grill location, the portions are a bit bigger than the Sherwood or N Beaverton location. I made the mistake of visiting those locations once each and I ain’t going back. The menu seemed different there as well. Very friendly service by staff, I’ve been here dozens of times getting food for business meetings, etc. I like their beef/rice entrees“

“Great service and delicious food!“

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

“Wonderful spot for a late night bite! Came here with a friend after being out seeing music, we got bah mi to eat in and then I also got a vegetable and rice dish to take home. We're both vegetarian; there's a decent selection and what we had was all super delicious. The sweet potato fries that come with the sandwich were some of the best I've ever had (and I'm picky about my sweet potato fries).

Service was friendly, prompt, and accommodating. Environment is nice but still comfortable and casual enough to be at ease. There's 4 TVs playing different things, felt a bit brain rot over stimulation-u, but they were all muted so it wasn't intrusive.

Great place!“

“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.“

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

“I regularly get takeout from this counter service restaurant. If you love tofu, this place is the bomb! I have tried all their tofu dishes and they are so good! Love the black rice too and the side veggies ( cabbage/carrot/broccoli) which is lightly steamed - just right! Great value for the money as portions are generous. Staff always friendly when I come in to pick up. Highly recommend for vegetarians/tofu lovers!“

“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.“

“We went there just for the Ramen. I ordered the Braised Chicken Ramen and it was delicious! My husband ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and was a little disappointed that there wasn't more pork belly in it. The staff were friendly and it is a very cute little restaurant.“

“I recently visited Fomo Chicken, and I'm happy to say that the food has really improved over the years. The soy garlic fried chicken I had was delicious, and I appreciated the amount food I got for my money. While the customer service was okay, it was the food that stole the show. The flavor of the fried chicken was spot on, and it's clear that they've made strides in providing a better dining experience. If you're a fan of soy garlic fried chicken, this place is definitely worth a visit. Overall, a tasty and satisfying meal!“

“Always fresh and yum!“

“Small place with absolutely delicious food. Good portions for what you pay. The young lady working the counter was super cheerful and kind. Will return!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter was with me (9 years old at the time) and loved it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Doesn't have an automatic door that I noticed, but it is on the first floor and the door is wide enough to handle a wheelchair. The counter and several tables are lower to the ground, so the whole thing overall is pretty accessible as long the person in the wheelchair can handle opening the door.“

“Absolutely delicious! Chicken is super juicy and the wings are nice and crunchy! 🤩

Will definitely come again.

We had 3 flavors. A small size is 8 wings, but theyre huge..
*Spicy galbi
*Honey garlic *Secret sauce

We also tried the kimchi pasta, which was creamy and spicy. It was also full of chicken. The fries also seemed to be battered fried so they are also extra crispy.

This is our new favorite wing spot 🤤“

“I am Korean and this place is the best Korean restaurant I have visited in Portland/Beaverton area so far. We had Ssam with meat, Hot stone bibimbap and other stuff. We ordered a lot and are the most of it. Everything was good and kids enjoyed a lot as well. I usually cook Korean food at home but would definitely go back with family.“

“Very yummy and cute bento box. The teriyaki is delicious and sushi included was also great, which isn't common! This place is also fast, our food is typically ready within a couple minutes of ordering. Best teriyaki in Sherwood without a doubt.“

“Our large party was sat next to the window and front door, it was extremely disturbing because we kept getting hit with the cold air every time the door open. I asked if we can move to another section of the table and the staff kindly accommodated it! Can we fix the front door situation? Overall, amazing food, experience is always wonderful and staff was great. Gorgeous restaurant, always. Thank you!“

“Good food, but could use a little more meat in their yakesoba dishes. Good price, too!“

“if you want to get a good food and quick service this the place to visit.“

“I am starting to try out food around the PSU campus. I chose Rice Junkies because of the price. I can say I'm not disappointed. I decided to try the Mexican bowl, as it seemed similar to what I'd get at Chipotle. I feel like there is much more food, without the added cost of guacamole, and the cheese is melted! I may have found a good go-to place for food!

One thing is that is is a SMALL place, but there is outside seating. It is definitely more of a to go eatery than sit-in.“
