Came here for dinner and thought the food was well prepared and everything is cooked at the time of order. The restaurant has a limited number of tables so a wait is likely on a busy night; however, the food is worth the wait. This restaurant is a great addition to the Portland food scene. Give this place a go if you are in the area.

Hmmm. Not really sure what to make of this place. My first impressions were hesitant as I didn't see any Koreans there... We ordered some small plates - Korean fried chicken, tteokbokki, bindaetteok, and mandu. They were $9-$12 each. The portions are small. There tteokbokki had about 6 pieces. Bindaetteok was also small, but nice and crispy. I enjoyed the mandu. The KFC had spots that were cold. Just confused about the whole place in general. The atmosphere is lacking. Like someone else mentioned, the front space seems wasted and could be repurposed. Food was good overall, but I wish the portions were bigger for the price.

Came here for dinner last Saturday. Restaurant was fairly empty when we first sat down, but filled up as our dinner progressed. The restaurant is very small and there was only one server / waitress (who is also the co-owner) but service was fast and pleasant. Food was very good and fairly authentic and had great presentation given Korean food is normally not very pretty to look at. Menu was pretty small but had a good selection of items. A bit annoying that they charged $5 each for kimchi and banchan which are normally both provided as a part of the meal at Korean restaurants, but overall had a good experience and would come back again. We started with the Korean pancake, ddukboki (this was amazing), and the fried tofu. For the large plates we had the galbi, bibimbap, and the kimchi and tofu stew.
Some suggestions: Think they should maybe play some music in the background because the restaurant was very quiet. There is also a really large space in the front of the restaurant that is completely empty and seems like wasted space. They could definitely fit more tables up front or do something with the space as it seemed a bit odd when you walked in or looked in from the outside. -

Had a lovely early dinner on a Friday night. Amazing food, attentive and kind staff, quick service.
Had KFC, dumpling potstickers, bibimbap, soooo good. Well prepared, fresh and tasty. Will be back!
