Environment: Nice area and huge booths for large parties. Even though we had bbq, we didn't smell like Korean meat afterwards! Staff: very friendly and attentive. For example, we needed an extra tong and he got us one without even asking. Food: My friends and I shared a combo B dish. It was on the pricier side but there were lots of fresh meat and we were all full from it. It was good quality and it came with nice banchan, corn, and soup. Everything was very good but my favorite ones were the non marinated ones because I liked the sauces that they gave us. I enjoyed it. I really liked it and I wish I can go during the weekday for their lunch special....maybe one day! They also have entrees too which I want to try one day!

We came here for the lunch specials (under $20!) on a Friday so I can't speak for their KBBQ. They have a nice looking bar and quite a few KBBQ tables. Service was friendly although there is a slight confusion on their closing time for the midday break. On their website it said closes at 2:30pm but the waiter told us it closed at 2pm but to take our time and no rush (we came around 1pm)? Anyway, we got a steamed egg to share - it's nothing special and they definitely up charge for it. I got the grilled mackerel lunch special which came with soup, 3 banchans, and bowl of rice. My friend got the beef bibimbap that came with the same sides. We both enjoyed our meals and left full and satisfied. Totally worth it for the quality but I can't wait to come back for the KBBQ experience!

The food tasted off, especially the beef. There was a chemical-like taste on the meat. And the sauce marinated into the bulgogi meat is different than the other restaurants. The batter the pancakes were too thick and not enough seafood. The noodles portions were very small and making the price point not reasonable. The noodles were quite hot and it was served in a plastic plate. The side dishes were good. The place itself is new, clean and spacious. Customer service is superb. It's part of a busy strip mall with parking. But parking does fill up and may need to park a bit further out.

Family combo

Attentive service ! Good quality meat for KBBQ! Way out in Hillsboro! We will definitely return !

We came into Goong KBBQ an hour before closing, despite that the workers there did not seem down or angry at all! They were super welcoming and made the experience so good! The food was delicious and came very quickly, they had many options to choose from and the refillable banchan was awesome! The place itself was clean and felt homey, I would definitely come again!

This establishment is exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff members are genuinely friendly, attentive, and eager to help, making sure you have a wonderful dining experience. The BBQ meats are freshly prepared and expertly marinated, offering flavorful and tender dishes that are simply delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to others. After discovering this place, we've decided to skip the all-you-can-eat buffet at Yo Ho Yo. While the prices are a bit higher than usual, the quality and overall experience definitely make it worthwhile.

Great service, like beyond. Our server was so incredibly kind and patient with us explaining the menu options and then helping us cook our food since it was our first visit. The ambiance was relatively quiet when we arrived. Other tables were seated but because of how they are spaced out or maybe because of where we were seated, we didn't hear too much other conversation going on. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. Okay back to the food. We ordered a lot for two people but this was our only meal of the day so we really went for it and got all the things! Everything was fresh and tasted incredible and yes, we over ordered and were totally stuffed when we left but it was absolutely worth it. :)

Banchan ;)

Newly established Korean-owned. Fresh decor, friendly service, menu with all the standards. Light assortment of Banchan but they are willing to refill upon request. Korean beer, soju for alcoholic beverages. Great for lunch.

iced tea (super big for only $3!)

We just ate here (Friday night) and I had to leave a review right away because we were blown away! The man serving us was super kind and attentive--amazing customer service. The food was delicious as well, price is on par with other Korean restaurants in the area. We enjoyed all of our food and side dishes as well, and will definitely return again! If you're in the Forest Grove area there aren't any Korean restaurants there, luckily this place is only 15 minutes away and will be my go-to spot from now on :)

Combo B

Came to try their KBBQ Combo B set and there was a mix of good and meh stuffs. The Steamed Egg was SO salty, something was very off there. Soybean Soup was decent but very small portion for four people. Banchans were fresh and there was a good variety but most of them weren't very flavorful...The first batch of lettuce they gave us there was like four leaves and we had to pay extra for another batch. That's not great. Now to the meat. The combo did give us a nice array of different cuts of both beef and pork. We enjoyed all of them, especially the Kalbi and the Spicy Pork. The portion of the meat was good, not too little but also you won't be rolling out of the place. Service was still new. Water wasn't filled very often and we have to work hard to get the staffs attention. Overall not a bad spot by any means just not worth traveling for for me.

Banchan

If I was rating this place off of strictly the cleanliness and staff it would receive 5 stars easily. Unfortunately, a lot more goes into it, and I felt a two review was better suited for the entirety of the experience. First and foremost the combo we ordered was 90 dollars, and was meant to feed 2-3 people. It was just 2 of us, so we assumed it would be more than enough. Oddly enough, it felt like there was hardly any meat, and that they were trying to fill you up on banchan (side dishes) so it feels as though you get your moneys worth. But, there are two spots in Beaverton that do all you can eat, have large portions and the AYCE includes salad, rice and side dishes. They give you butter to start but then do grill changes way too often and never offer butter after the first time they bring everything out. So it seems silly and unnecessary to bring it to begin with, but also I don't understand why they changed the grill three or four times for us. It was overkill. They also drop the smoke/heat chute down and it's literally a foot from the grill, so while you're cooking it's not only in your way physically but it also blocks the view of the people you're eating with. You can see it in the photo of the grill I included! The brisket was good quality, the pork belly was standard but both the bulgogi's were gross. They lacked flavor and had a very fatty and fibrous texture which made it feel like you had to chew forever to eat it. Also, you get two thin slices of squash and three thin slices of mushroom... at that point don't bother putting the veggies on the plate, it's a joke. I really wanted to like this place because it's so close to me and I LOVE Korean bbq... I hope it gets better and they either lower their prices or give you a little more bang for your buck. I'd rather drive the twenty five minutes and get AYCE and save my money.

New place that opened up about a month ago. I'm just visiting the area and I had two friends tell me a new place opened up so had to check it out. Service was great! We had a Korean server who spoke mandarin too since he worked in Shanghai for a few years. He was very nice and attentive to the group. I appreciated the kids plate, utensils, and side dishes they brought out. I've never seen any other Korean place have special kids side dishes. Our server was also patient as we took a while to decide on the order and also had a few spills to clean up. Food was a mix of good and ok but nice to see their menu had a wide variety. I saw online menu had raw marinated crab but couldn't find it on the menu in the restaurant. I'll rate each dish I tried below. Overall, definitely would recommend others to come check it out for the food and service. TTEOKBOKKI $15 (4/5) : solid dish and had a good level of spice. Rice cakes cooked well so they were pillowy and soft. HAEMUL PAJEON $18 (5/5) : Highly recommend this one. Extra crispy and enjoyed their mix of seafood SPICY CHICKEN $23 (2/5) : very disappointed with this dish since I was expecting the Korean fried chicken I'm used to with a good kick. This tasted like Chinese sweet and sour pork flavor which I don't like, and it was soggy! Not even a bit of crisp in it. GAMJATANG $20 (4/5) : another solid dish. Just wish the potatoes were a little more cooked and smaller pieces so they're soft and melt into the soup. I had a very hard time breaking up the massively large potato. Soup flavor was delicious.

Grill surface and prep.

My wife and I were very impressed when we dined here. We shared the beef combination. We had plenty, and we took a sizable box home for lunch the next day. All the meats were perfectly marinated. We asked for garlic to roast on the barbecue with everything else. The grill surface was hot as hot as other Korean BBQ we have tried, but that just made the job easier I think. No refills in the iced tea, so watch for that; catering to customers who are not afraid to spend the $$$s for a dining experience is fine, but nickeling and dining over something as cheap as iced tea or lettuce leaves seems silly. The samjang sauce was good, but it lacked the character of homemade. My wife really enjoyed the fish cake, and I loved the sprout salad and the hearty soup. We will definitely be back to try at least one a-la-carte specialty short rib next time we also want to check out some of the pork options. We will also remember to order more garlic.

Combo B family style.

The indoor seating area is also super spacious, so it's easy to find a spot. There's always been live music playing whenever we've visited, which adds so much charm to the experience - though it can get a tad bit loud, making it a little tough to hear the person sitting right across from you. While we've enjoyed almost all the food we've tried here, I have to give a massive shoutout to the Pinch Spice truck. They have some of the absolute best Indian food I've tasted around here. I find myself constantly coming back just for that single truck! 10/10 recommend One downer has been that at least a quarter food trucks are closed any time we have visited. Hope they start keeping more consistent timings.

I went to Vivi's for the first time about 10 years ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since…read more Unfortunately, it's pretty far and out of the way from where I live, but every time I pass through the area and am hungry for Vietnamese food, I'm hungry for Vivi's. Over the years, I've brought friends and family here, talking it up enough that they're willing to make the journey with me. I always recommend the tofu vermicelli bowl. The fact that my tofu-skeptical father sang its praises after I made him try it is a testament to its flavor. I still think of it as the gold standard of tofu. I was recently in the area for the first time in 5 or 6 years and decided to go back to Vivi's with my mom. It was the first thing that popped into both of our minds-a real jinks moment. I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to our memory. Vivi's had moved around the corner from their old location-a cute, cozy little cafe-but their new restaurant is more spacious, hopefully to accommodate the flocks of diners that their food merits. I got the tofu vermicelli, which was exactly as I remembered, equally flavorful and generous in portion size for $15. My mom got the papaya salad for $5.50. I previously thought I didn't like papaya-I was mistaken. It was a unique and refreshing dish that I would 100% go back for. Vivi's food tastes fresh and nourishing and at the same time satisfying and rich. We were short on time and were prepared to have to take it to go, but our food was out in 10 minutes. I don't usually write reviews, but after so many great experiences over the years it felt long overdue. A small business that has maintained their quality at reasonable prices over the years deserves to be recognized with a recommendation. Give Vivi's a try!

You have plenty of fried chicken choices around the station, but Soul does a good variety for everyone. Here's what I've had thus far: ~ K-Corn Dog & Potato Corn Dog ($7 each). Loved the softness of it. Crunchy on the outside of course, but cheesy soft on the inside. ~ #9 Galbi plate ($18). Grilled just right imo. Decent flavor and not too tough. Pretty tender and meaty indeed. This seems to always be a fan favorite. ~ Special Combo with Supreme Chicken & Shrimp ($17). Loved the fried chicken cuts and the sweet/hot sauce all over. But the shrimp I was hoping for a bit of crunch. I felt it was tossed in the sauce too long, or the sauce just soaked it up. In other words, I wanted a to hear the shrimp crackle! Still a worthy combo. The cooks working hard in pod were really working up a sweat. Credit to them for staying composed with all the orders coming in. Still service with a smile, no issues. When I'm in the mood for some delish Korean eats, I'll definitely be back! They're worth a try if you've never been.
