Best Korean Restaurants in Southeast Portland

The menu is mostly small. Plates so we tried about 8 dishes. Most were fantastic. The lobster rolls were transcendent - maybe the best I have ever had. The two vegetable dishes we got were just okay, but everything else was top notch.

What a GREAT meal and experience! We sat at the chef's counter, had the chopped beef bao, kimchi, ssam set with NY steak, charred cabbage. Service was flawless - attentive, approachable, and lovely from start to finish. Chef at the counter made us feel welcome and invited us to ask questions throughout the meal - not that we really had any but it was a nice service touch we don't often see in a town with plenty of chef's counters. Food was wonderful, the ssam set was refreshing, sauces well balanced and punchy, meat cooked to perfection, pickles were killer. My first time since it was Renata, I love the rebuild and how much more comfortable and inviting the space feels. Can't wait to go back!

Great mid/budget level prix fixe menu, with big taste and value for your buck. Not a meticulously crafted journey, but rather great individual dishes with a good mixture of comfort food and more delicate flavor experiences. A smash hit for the price point – definitely coming back.
