“Kenji's is the first real ramen I ever had (almost 3 years ago now) and it remains my favorite. They do a fantastic job with the style and atmosphere. It's clean and quick. The food is also just so deliciously put together. There hasn't been an item yet I haven't liked. For my start into ramen, I feel I was trained by the pros. If you're in the area, give it a try! (Also highly recommend the loaded fries, they are )“
“Really really good food. Had some Tom Kha and Pad Thai takeout and had to eat in the next night to try their curry. I noticed their shrimp is fresh immediately, and realized that all their vegetables are fresh too. Better than Thai food I've had in SE Asia. Better portion sizes than other restaurants (not too big). Quick service. And it's only ~$15 a plate. Eat here.“
“It was awesome but just disappointed that we did not get salad. When walking out we saw salad on everybody else’s table, and that may not matter to most people, but it is the most important part of my meal, so that was very disappointing. Other than that it was great.“
“Hello, so I was looking for a local ramen shop I could get some dinner from with some old friends, which we stopped by Teriyaki & noodles to dine in and try something new. The food came out in ten minutes for the three of us, amazing displays, very fresh big portions which not only looked spectacular, but tasted delicious and the operator was so nice and just above and beyond from anything I could have asked for. Seriously if you want a unique experience this is a restaurant you have got to try! Highly recommend it and my friends and I needed to go boxes because the food was just so filling. Can't wait to come back! & 5 stars all around walking in to walking out!“
“All the negative reviews of this place are unwarranted. It’s a no frills Korean restaurant with simple decor. The owner is one of the nicest people you’ll meet. Just someone serving good food at a fair price with generous portions. For those who expect a fine dining experience from a strip-mall restaurant, I would encourage you to reframe your skewed perspective.“
“We went for my early birthday yesterday 3/1/2023 and so thankful that our server was Anthony and the food was great (aside from the Mac salad) taste it first lol However, our server was amazing and efficient and knowledgeable about his food!! I recommend this place to everyone!! Tell them Caroline sent you!!(not that it matters lol)!! Enjoy KingKong Korean BBQ This is my 3rd time and my niece that was with us yesterday will be back there tonight with just her family!!!! A new Loyal Customer!! Rate: ******“
“Absolutely fantastic experience doing the Gimbap party. Tasty first course - corned beef with charred cabbage was exquisite. Main course - I could go on and on.Nothing wrong with any of it & free refills, cmon! Dessert was nice and refreshing. Exceptional service.“
“I stopped in late because my wife was craving Korean food. What a gem of a place this is. The owner took my order and was super kind. We had the Salmon and the chicken. Both totally over delivered. Salmon perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked. The Kimchi was spot on. Many more meals we will be having. Totally worth driving down from our place in Arbor Lodge. Makes the neighborhood better. Super clean. Sorry no photos as we ate everything too fast.Dietary restrictions: They are all Gluten free. We are not but have friends who are.Kid-friendliness: They were welcoming my four year old being four. So appreciated“
“Stunning and delicious modern twist on Korean flavors. Portions were enough for everyone to be satisfied without being overfull. Set menu priced for a splurge-y dinner. Cocktails were unique and fun. Soju had the cute little auto-pouring frog. Cool to see the meats being aged in the back fridges (during the walk to the back restrooms).“
“Was in town for a few days and came in for lunch. First time at this spot though I've been to Han Oak before. Lunch was really excellent. I went with the Ban Chan side dishes, a dol sot bowl of rice, and split the Korean fried chicken with one wing of each flavor (essence of ramen and sweet and spicy) The ban chan was quite good, especially the marinated spinach. The wings were also excellent. Beautiful crunch and flavor. One order plus the sides was enough for lunch (for me, at least). My only disappointment was the dol sot rice. It wasn't actually dol sot. There was no fried crunch on the bottom, probably because it wasn't actually cooked in this pot. Just served that way. Felt a little unnecessary. Just a side of rice will do. Service was excellent. Sat at the bar and my bartender was kind and sweet. Was lovely to be back in PDX. Will come back for lunch next time I return.“
“My son had the Spicy Gochujang fried chicken and I had the snow cheese fried chicken. The food was good. All the chicken is double fried which makes it nice and super crispy. The snow cheese was sweet kind of like a parmesan cheese coating. It was good but I found it to be a little too much coating. I think I would have enjoyed it more had it been a little less of a coating but that's my own personal thought. My son really liked the Spicy Gochujang fried chicken. I thought it was going to be real spicy and I tried some of the sauce and it was really good and not overly spicy. He also got the kimchi macaroni and cheese which he enjoyed. All came with a side of pickled daikon radishes that were absolutely fantastic.Each came with three wings that were bone in and huge! I was really surprised at how large the wings were. Overall we would definitely go back again.You can also get your food and go into the tap House that it's connected to to have a beer or order a beer and bring it out to the food court! Fun little atmosphere and fantastic customer service!“
“Fantastic food! This is a charming little eatery with scrumptious food, friendly & fast service, at a fair price. Dine in is clean and cozy and I like the Korean pop videos subtling playing in the background (nothing too obnoxious or loud). Great place!“
“Awesome food!! The owner was also SO friendly and kind, she greeted me with a huge smile. The food portions are quite generous and delicious! The kimchi is also super bubbly and fresh I couldn’t get enough. The prices are also the best I saw among all the others. For the quality, amount of food and super friendly owner I can definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back!! 맛있어요!“
“Absolutely delicious chicken! Just the right amount of crispy-ness and crunch. Awesome sauces to try and something for everyone's taste. We've tried them all and keep going back to the bulgogi. But the garlic parmasean (one of the new offerings) is a new favorite! It's a bonus that besides the great food that the staff is friendly, the service is fast and the restaurant is clean and tidy. I'd say that the only downside is the size of the establishment. If you have more than 2-3 people, get the food to go. It's too small to eat there. There are some picnic tables outside but unless it's summer, it's not really feasible to utilize them.“
“Laura, the assistant manager is wonderful, kind and very smart. She is very friendly and as soon as you walk through the door she greet you with a smile and always ask how you were doing. She remembers my order all the time. I do not even have to say a word. I’ve been going there since they have open for the very first day.“
“I love everything about this place 100/10 some of the best Hawaii food spot in Portland. The vibe the food the staff all of it was spot on and a great experience! Check it out bring some friends! Recommend the Kalibi short ribs and the Mac salad! Super yummy! And this gotta be some of the chicken katsu in town“
“Shockingly good. Like, I am so glad I happened to wander in! It's a Chipotle- or Mongolian BBQ-type setup where you select your ingredients and they are prepared for you into japchae stir fry or stew. But it is executed really well with amazing flavors and truly interesting items to select from. I got lotus root in my stir fry, there are a couple different mushrooms to select from there are proteins like shrimp and lamb and others, several types of greens and even the cabbage is available in full leaf or shredded format. You can really make this dish your own. I will say that even the number one is a fair amount of heat. But I'm telling you, the even with my nose running I was looking forward to every fork full.I really don't care about atmosphere so I just default gave it four stars. But the food and the service really deserve five stars.“
“One of the best ramen experiences I have had since living in Portland. Erica, behind the counter, could not have been more amazing. Extremely accommodating and helpful. This place offers the at home atmosphere with a Japanese twist. Large portions, offers a great bang for your buck and yet still delicious. I will be back for sure.“
“From the moment I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised at how busy it was but such a warm comfortable atmosphere. I came for my Birthday dinner and ended the night with a complimentary dessert! Our waitress was very informative of the menu, recommendations, and how the service was going to go in order. I appreciated the Experience. I will be returning.“
“Has a little bit of a hole in the wall feel to it but amazingly good food. Our table ordered a variety of things and we did family style. It gave us a lot of opportunity to try a different things. I highly recommend it. You know, the family style part and also the restaurant!“
“Awesome family, friendly restaurant. There's a spacious feel to the restaurant and it is laid out so uniquely. There's fish tanks and a kid's play corner (so children can play while they wait for the food or after they are done eating). The service was friendly and the food was DELICIOUS! We got the orange chicken and the shrimp ramen and everything tasted amazing! Our little kid was super happy toddling around & we all had a great time! Definitely will be back!“
“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.“
“Been going here for years (around 6) and it's always been amazing. Highly recommend getting their soups (my favorite is the Gamja Tang) ❤️ their mackerel is also amazing! The servers are always super kind and attentive, one of the reasons I always come back when I have a chance!“
“This place is so cute nestled in this great food truck food court it’s attached to this fantastic indoor eating and bar experience with multiple levels to it the food from Ko sisters was amazing great flavor large portions even people inside asked “wow what is that?” I will be back to try most of her menu laid back relaxing environment great staff!“
“It was surprisingly not that busy on a Saturday evening, I think I got lucky coming before the dinner rush. After ordering they were still making the beef so I had to wait 15 minutes for it to be ready. There were things to check out around the area so the time went by pretty quickly. Rice Bowl with Beef 8.5/10 - I was hungry at the time of this meal so opening that box was like opening treasure. It was very tasty and I ate it all really quickly, but I wish there had been more kimchi. With the amount that was given, it seems like a no brainer to go with the 2 potstickers. Although, I would definitely get this again if I ever come back. Potstickers 9/10 - I also got the 5 potstickers on the side, and these really also really good. They were crunchy on the outside but soft in the inside. I don't think I'd get this on the side again but it was good!“
“Super cool spot with great food and some of the best house ginger beer I've ever had. Perfect after work spot, especially if you've had a rough day. I enjoyed a pork bahn mi with sweet potato fries while reading the subtitles to Dune on one of their flat screens. Life is good ?“
“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 got take-out a few times from here. The food has been exceptional every time - fresh and delectable. They have vegetarian options and can accommodate dietary restrictions. I would highly recommend this place for teriyaki and Korean dishes.“
“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!“
“First time in Portland and the Hyatt House was an excellent choice of hotel for me.The location by the River was relaxing, as well as, the well maintained pool. Very friendly and helpful staff, this hotel has it all, a nice hot breakfast, a Bar, a pool and is in a great location. Would stay again!“
“Our family has eaten here often and have always enjoyed visits with the owner, he's such a nice gentlemen! However, we ordered take out tonight and the food was different and not near to what it usually is... We did not see him tonight and I am hoping it's because he found staff and was able to take a step back and take care of himself! Our order was missing the vegetables which we love, regular teriyaki chicken was dry and chewy and our other order was not what we ordered. I'm hoping this is just a temporary adjustment as staff are adjusting, I'm not sure? Anyways, we love the owner and will continue to support him, but hoping next time is back to usual as eating out is so expensive these days!“
“Best fried chicken I have ever had! We live all the way in Albany now but I would make the drive for this chicken again. The food was done fast for the amount we had ordered, it was all hot and fresh. The kid at the counter was social distancing and very polite! We got the whole chicken and at first my husband remarked that it was expensive, but after eating some for lunch and taking it home he retracted that and noted there was a LOT of chicken in the box. The wings were good too, the Hot wings were really not as hot as we expected from a korean chain but they have a hotter option that we’ll try next time. My kids loved the pickled radishes and popcorn chicken. Not sure how everything was SO crispy but I love it!“
“This is a culinary gem! From the vibrant ambiance to the mouthwatering barbecue, every aspect of our dining experience was top-notch. The owner couples were friendly and attentive. So happy for them as their business is growing bigger. Parking was convenient. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Korean cuisine!“
“Just finished eating a bowl of bibimbap- then tried to eat some from of my son’s bowl! It was delicious! Large portions, fresh and great flavor.We also had the katsu- this was a winner too, the melted cheese was a great touch. I’ll be back- highly recommended( sorry no photo- we ate it too fast)“
“Got a kimchi quesadilla with tofu and honestly didn’t know what to expect. It was a unique flavor combo that worked surprisingly well. The acid and funk from the kimchi works really well in the quesadillas and the tofu was dry enough that it didn’t make the whole dish soggy which was a concern I had. Overall a very tasty hearty meal with a yummy and unique flavor combination.“
“Kim Jong Grillin' catered our wedding back in 2018. They drove out of their way to do so, and fed many people who had never even tried Korean food before this. It was a huge hit and people still bring up the food! They had great communication and worked with us. I would highly recommend.“
“I absolutely recommend this place the food is amazing & I love that the owner has made it a policy if a homeless person is hungry to knock at the backdoor they will feed you because he believes no one should ever have to starve God bless you & I wish more places were like thisParking: There is a very small parking lot with minimal parking sometimes you may have to park a couple blocks away & walkWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“The chicken and kimchi blew us away! Crunchy, the right amount of spicy, juicy. We weren't looking for it but it found us. It's also in The Zipper, which is a great food court with lots of options and good drinks. They were really cool, highly recommend.“
“Me and my partner love coming here! The staff are always super helpful and friendly and of course the food never disappoints. You can also order so many of the dishes vegetarian. It is honestly a hidden gem in Portland, especially among the vegan/veggie community. There is something on the menu for everyone! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed!“
“The hand pulled noodles are the star here, no need to order anything else. The noodles with beef were very good, overall it was a filling meal. I do wish there was more of the veggie bits mixed in, meaning more spinach and cabbage and carrots. I like a good balance of veggies and meat and noodles. I recommend take out, eating in, the restaurant was very cold.“
“The owners are so incredibly sweet and go above and beyond. My second time here and the food is fantastic. Great quality for the price. Very fresh ingredients and they make their kimchi themselves. It’s excellent! Lots of vegetarian options as well. Feels wonderful to support a small family run business.“
“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!“
“Vegan options! and the mac salad is "accidentally" vegan!The first time I went it was absolutely incredible, talked about it for weeks. The 2nd time I went everything was a little on the bland side, so YEMV, tons of potential tho, I'll be back.“
“The potato and ramen corn dogs were very good and so was the sweet and spicy sauce. The donuts were pretty good, but at 10 for 3 of them they were a bit expensive. I didn’t enjoy the mango lemonade. I had to repeat my order a few times. The sign is a small banner on the window so it’s easy to miss. It was a weird atmosphere inside.“
“This place is delicious. They have lots to choose from. I got the sushi burrito. It's basically a sushi roll not cut up. It was yummy. My son ordered the Oregon roll. It's spicy but has great flavor. My daughter ordered the poke salad. She said it was scrumptious. We can't wait to go back. They have Korean bbq tables. I can't wait to try.“
“The team that works here is so incredible! They are all so sweet and always go above and beyond. You can tell they genuinely care and want to have happy customers. This is a fun, quick, and chill spot to stop in or get to-go. The Thai tea is so delicious and refreshing! Their onion rings are also a personal favorite! Super yummy!! The Korean cheese dogs are also great! I don’t eat chicken, but everyone tells me it’s fantastic because of how they marinade it and the sauces have a lot of flavor. The manager and team are seriously so kind and the best!“
“Came here on a Saturday night around 5:15pm and this place was poppin’!! We had to wait 45 minutes for a table. There were a lot of large parties and some kids on their prom date. I’m glad they’re getting all the business. We always enjoy the LA kalbi and pork bulgogi. I also order their kimchi stew and seafood pancake. Their banchan is always the highlight. I was too hungry to take photos!“
“Decent price for all you can eat Korean BBQ; prices range per package with the main difference being seafood and offal. You get frozen or marinated meats you cook on a hot grill. There are also entrees you can order, but that’s not what you come here for unless you are pressed for time.“
“This place is a true gem! They have so many gluten free options- the orange chicken is my favorite but I really love everything here. The staff is so nice and helpful. They even have soup and hot tea for you while you wait for your order. It is my go to for a quick meal.“
“The food is suuuuuper great. My boyfriend and I have gone here a couple times after finding it on Yelp and cannot get enough of it. The first time we ordered La galbi, beef bulgogi, and tteokbokki, in which they were all so delicious. Our personal favorite is definitely the beef bulgogi because of the sauces savory flavor. In addition, the service is very good as well. The server is so nice, friendly, and helpful. We plan on coming to eat here again soon!“
