The food is excellent. I lived in seoul and this really hit the spot. The bulgogi burger is perfect. I love rice buns and they're so hard to find--it's not just for the gluten free among us. The owners also extremely generous and helpful. They helped me get home safely after I lost my phone on the way to the restaurant and went over and above. Love them and the food. read more

Kudos for probably offering the only shrimp burger in town. So good, but messy to eat. For balance the cucumber salad made a good compliment. I would have also opted for the fries, but didn't want a large basket for $11. Not sure why they don't offer a smaller portion, especially for those dining solo. I may of missed it, but didn't see any creative drinks. Counter gal was nice, time to order was very fast. Cute spot, doable parking. read more

Bbang! - Shrimp burger, they sometimes sell out. - Korean Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Two words: Shrimp burger. I haven't had a shrimp burger since being in Japan and my god do I miss it. The burger was juicy and well made, not oily, no filler and full of shrimp. It was so big I had to split it. The bun was perfectly toasted and the cabbage added a nice touch. We also got the potato salad which was delicious! Perfectly cooked potatoes with good chunks of pork belly (or maybe it was bacon) and onions and celery. It faired really well with the burger. I'm super excited to go back and try their fried chicken and other items. It's such a clean environment, ac is great, and service was so friggin fast. And the vibes - whoever is cranking the playlist needs to SHARE because I was sitting there Shazamming every song. I hope they keep this item on the menu!!! read more

Bulgogi burger had no fear of cheese . Right there and good . And for a side , I didn't go for the usual , so I opted for the potato salad . Not at all mushy , like some potato salads are . Pork belly is nice add in . Then for To Go , I ordered the "Doyaji fried chicken" . Even when cold it tasted great . Not too spicy hot , but spicy flavour . It was a little lonely when I visited . Sitting in a nice quiet neighborhood . Plenty of parking . Everything is reasonably priced . Makes you want to order everything on the menu . read more

The BULGOGI BURGER was so delicious, highly recommend trying it. The tots were perfect. The curry ketchup was a little overpowering and could be toned down, but overall I would eat here again. read more

Bbang had some big shoes to fill taking the space of 28 Tigers (which I am still mourning) but this is also a solid addition to the neighborhood. I was most excited about the tofu katsu sandwich, and it did not disappoint! I am not vegan, and I don't even particularly like tofu, but I have found that tofu Katsu is the best form of tofu and I dont hesitate to order it in place of meat. I also really liked the vegan katsu sauce - it's bold and tangy and I actually prefer a non-creamy sauce so the vegan option works great. They don't have many drink options, and no alcohol, but with Holy Ghost being next door (and the table delivery offered) they are relying on the bar to fill that need. I also really loved the hand cut fries and the curry Ketchup. The menu is limited, but the tofu katsu and the great fries are enough to make this a spot I will definitely becoming back to. read more

Bbang! - Vegan Tofu Katsu Sandwich with side of fries. - Korean Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is the brick and mortar expansion of a popular family-run food cart. They replace the much loved 28 Tigers adjacent to Holy Ghost bar. You can dine in either place and they will bring it to your table in Holy Ghost. I had their fried chicken with plum sauce, shaved green onions, and a mild pickle of daikon. The breading build and crunch is top tier for Portland. The plum sauce has more salt than sweet. Staff was great and order delivered quickly. They have indoor and outdoor of their own, or indoor and outdoor at Holly Ghost, or takeaway. read more

Was able to make it for Grand Opening and thoroughly enjoyed the Fried Chicken Sandwich and a side of kimchi. After the first flavorful bite I was like: I know what I need to do and loaded up the kimchi in the sandwich. So good. Also got the tots which were crispy and tasty. Next visit got the Kimchi Smash burger which was delicious. Can't wait to go back and work my way through the menu. Wanna try the bulgogi burger, Korean street goats, muchim, etc. Everyone working there was great and if you want a drink drink they're attached to Holy Ghost bar. Very cute new spot. I'll update my review when I get more. read more

If you like to be served by rude pompous people, this is the place for you! The owner, I believe, was the man serving us and he was so incredibly rude and offered absolutely no personality or customer service. The food was mediocre and this place is the hugest disappointment ever. it was so upsetting and I feel like I completely wasted my money. Never again! read more

Been meaning to check this place out since they opened and I'm so glad I did! It's in the cutest little neighborhood and the food was 10/10. Probably the best chicken I've ever had in Portland. Hands down. The service was amazing, the owners are awesome, everyone was so nice and kind, the ambience was really great, there's tables inside and outside, it's a cool bikeable spot, plenty of bike parking too! Will absolutely be back! Thank you! read more

Saw this spot on tiktok and wanted to try it out! Got myself the bulgogi burger and a side of cheese corn. I really enjoyed the bulgogi burger it was juicy and tasty. Incredibly filling, ended up only being able to finish half of it, but made great left overs! I thought the cheese corn wasn't cheesy enough for my personal preference, so I would personally try something else next time. Can see myself coming back to try the kimchi burger! There is plenty of seats and a bathroom inside! read more

Came with some friends to try half the menu and share. We got the bulgogi burger, shrimp burger, Tamagoyaki sando, fries, fried chicken with onion, and cheese corn. It was plenty of food for four people. The surprise favorite was the egg sando - it had some veggies in the omelet and the ketchup made it very nostalgic. I loved the shrimp sando but I wished it was a little less salty. We need to go back for the regular burger too, but overall I was pretty impressed. This is a great addition to the Holy Ghost block and they deliver over to their seating too. read more

This place is awesome. We tried the fried chicken thighs with honey mustard and the fried chicken sandwich with hot honey. The chicken is super crispy and perfectly breaded, and the portions are plentiful! The hot honey appeared homemade and paired nicely with the chicken. You can order at the counter and have your food served to you at Holy Ghost next door which is super nice! read more

Chicken sandwich was unreal. So crispy. Brioche bun so light. Great toppings. Can't wait to go back. Gotta try the kimchi smash burger. Pickled cucumbers were good - a little too sweet, though. A+++ read more

I went back again recently after their soft opening to see how the place had evolved. The food is decent, but mostly just Sysco food products, but the sauces are delicious. My main concern was the punk rocker girl working the front who acted offended when I asked for change. I bought the KFC and it was $15. I paid with cash and asked for some change. she acted like she deserved 25% tip and huffed and then only handed me back three dollars and change though I just asked for change. What the heck is that all about? Then after she started off all friendly, she was cold toward me. Some people can't afford to tip 25% for a few pieces of fried chicken from a restaurant attached to a bar. Why shame people and short them by determining what they should be tipping you. What an unpleasant experience. It's right in my neighborhood also and I'd love to go back, but this person that works there needs to go. read more

Delicious! Loved the shrimp burger and tots! My husband was a big fan of the kimchi burger. It's stated on the website that you can order at the Bbang store and then sit down at the bar next door so we did that to escape the heat, the only hiccup was that the servers did have some trouble/confusion with finding our table. Overall would definitely recommend for the food and would 10/10 come again! read more

We loved their food truck and were so excited to try this new spot- it did not disappoint! We shared a shrimp burger and a bulgogi burger. Both were fantastic. I love their sauce options like curry ketchup and their ranch. Their cucumber salad is super tasty too. We will be back many times over! read more

Only open a week and it's this good??? Friendly staff, fresh and unique menu, and right next door to the Holy Ghost. We had the bulgogi burger, the fried tofu with spicy dipping sauce, and the spicy chicken sandwich. And they let us go next door with our number to the bar and they brought our food right to us. Cute cafe space over there too - we would've stayed if they had some drinks on their side, but it was just soda. Seriously so good. I hope these guys get more business bc they deserve it! read more

Dropped in for lunch on a lark after we found our brunch spot closed on a Saturday. I tried the kimchi smashburger and Beth tried the daily special, a bacon jelly grilled cheese. Both were excellent. The restaurant is cozy and they had kpop going on the sound system. The staff were pleasant and speedy. We will be back in to try more menu items. read more

Food was good. Service was horrible. No "hello" just basically a "what do you want?". Tipped above 20% because maybe he was having a bad day. Just set the food on the table letting us guess which was ours. read more

Bbang! Is the bomb! So glad the neighborhood has this new spot. We've already tried most their menu and nothing has disappointed. The kimchee and pickled cucumbers are perfect to pair with the chicken sandwich or kimchee smash burger. Support these guys! Service is also as friendly as you get in SE Portland. read more
