We loved it here, they cooked their fish exceesingly well! In our plated tray, I loved the dry-aged salmon hwe the most. It was so on point, brings out the best flavor in both the salmon and the accompanying salmon roe. My toddler son loved the potato salad, napa canbage soup and the crab and egg custard. For the main, black cod (mae-un-tang) was definitely my favorite, the cod is just so juicy, mussels and shrimp were cooked perfectly too. The tangy broth makes it so refreshing. Goguma mochi cake is such a good crowd pleaser. The chewiness of the cake made it so palatable, the chantilly cream was so yummy. Even my toddler loved this so much. Service was great. My waitress was very friendly and accommodating to our table. Almost all the staff came by to make sure they could check in on us. Great experience overall! The only minus thing is parking which I'm sure is nothing new. The neighborhood is very nice so walking around is highly recommended. read more

Wonderful. We went for Portland dining month, and had an awesome meal here. I have been to the space previously for a pop-up during the summer months, and the space really is beautiful and the vibe changes with the seasons. The staff were attentive and helpful. Food was fantastic, the banchan alone is worth the trip, seriously I could have happily eaten a whole meal of just that! Will definitely go back, and it's an excellent place to visit for a meal and nice ambiance. read more

This was a lovely place and I have had it on my Yelp list of "must try" but I am broke most of the time so save these places for when my hubs and I go on date nights. FYI - We were here March 2026 and they were also participating in the Portland Dining Month. Which has NOT been going on since 2020!!! Here's the deets on what you can expect budget wise, in case money is tight, and I just admitted that it is, so if you are like me, here it is. Regular Prix-fix menu is $75 a person. But with the Portland dining month it was $55. There was very lil difference in the special they were offering, so if you are teading this and it's still March. Now is a good time to go. We COULD not find it. Pro tip: If I would've checked yelp, I would've seen the photo of the door in what looks like a parking lot south of the pie spot. But after walking back and forth next door where they have 3 other spots and up the street, we realized the parking lot had a secret back door with a sign that said HAN OAK! Inside it was very cozy and I bet it's lovely in the brighter summer months as it was half indoor/outdoor. But the night we went was more dark and magical with a wall filled with candle lights and low hushed conversations at the tables. Hushed because the tables were rather close and not a lot of separation or privacy between them. Ok...ok....I will get to the food already! Calm down. We each ordered a different main and shared. I started with the scallop dynamite and that was really delicious. It was a good choice. No I didnmt share with hubs. Hubs had the bulgogi and I had the mushroom ddukboki. He devoured his quickly, but I was able to get a bite so I can say that the meat was perfectly tender and light. The mushroom ddukobi (Korean rice flour cakes that are like lil chewy mochi logs) was incredibly rich with a garlic cream sauce and if you like mushrooms, the mushrooms included were not overwhelming. However, the consistency of ddukboki was not consistent. Some were soft and chewy and some were hard and I wasn't sure if they were undercooked. But I have never had them this way and the soft ones were delicious. The dessert was a mochi cake made with sweet potatoes and red beans with a scoop of chantily cream on the side. I was really full by the time we had dessert, and my only complaint was that I had an edge piece and the sides were difficult to cut through without utensils as I only had my chop sticks. It reminded me of a korean version of sweet potato pie and cream but also NOTHING like the southern dessert at all so don't expect that. I said it "reminded me" not that it tasted like. Overall, I think the food was good despite the consistency issues and were able to come at the bargain price of $55 a person. Oh and I had a lovely mocktail for I believe $10 but I forgot the name and didn't snap a photo. But oh well... read more

This was our early Valentine's dinner. I really wanted to love it, but I left a bit disappointed. Food: Citron Tea Soda (3/5) Made with citrus peel, honey, lemon, candied ginger, and soda. My wife said it tasted like lemon soda. It was fine, but not memorable for the price. Accompaniments (Gimbap): - Charred broccolini (4/5) Good and nicely cooked. - Smash'd Cukes (5/5) Sour and bright with an unexpected flavor mix. Whoa. Very good. - Dubu jorim (5/5) Excellent. Thick, textured, and savory. One of the highlights of the meal. Dry-Aged Ora King Salmon Hwe (5/5) Excellent. Tender and flavorful. I really wish there had been more of this. Egg Custard (5/5) Excellent. They accommodated our request for no crab, which we really appreciated. Teres Major Steak a la Dokkaebi (2/5) Good sauce and flavor, but far too tough to chew. Even with scissors, it was difficult. This was the biggest disappointment of the night. Mushroom Ddukboki My wife ordered this, but I am not a fan of mushrooms, so I did not rate it. Guguma Mochi Cake (4/5) Like a light brownie with ice cream, but made with roasted sweet potato. Unique and enjoyable. Ambiance (4/5): The place feels eclectic and a little secretive in a fun way. The entrance has no window and only a Ring doorbell, which did not seem to work. We eventually pushed the door and it opened. Inside, it was warm and beautifully decorated. Service (4/5): Good, attentive, prompt, and patient throughout the meal. What disappointed me most was the main dish. I only ate about one third of it and took the rest home, but I still have not touched the leftovers. Everything else was solid, but for a special Valentine's dinner, the main course really needed to shine. read more

I was sitting here reminiscing on my trip to Han Oak last week and wishing I was eating it right now, so I figured it would be a good time to review this place! This spot had not made it on my to try list, but I'm glad we were invited by some friends to eat their prefix menu. We parked near where it said the location was, and had a semi tough time finding the front door! It's hidden in the parking lot. It made it a little more difficult, but it was also pretty cool! Disguised! The inside was interesting. I couldn't tell if we were outside or inside! The walls were plastic, but the space heaters kept it nice and warm. I liked the quiet and dark vibe in here. I guess the thing I liked most about the prefix menu is all the different flavors you got to sample. It's not like you had one starter and an entrée, it was a whole buffet of choices! I'd love to go here again during a different season and see what they have to offer! read more

I tried the galbi-jjim as part of their prix-fixe menu, and honestly, I'm a bit torn on how to rate it. Based on my experiences in K-town, I'd give it maybe a 3/5. The short ribs were just okay, they could've been cooked longer because they weren't as melt-in-your-mouth or fall-off-the-bone as I'm used to. The root veggies were fine, not overcooked, but nothing special. The rest of the jipbap sides didn't really stand out either. For $65, I feel like you could find better. Though, to be fair, I'm not sure where else you'd go for galbi-jjim in the middle of Portland. read more

What a creative hot pot experience!! Came for the prix fixe hot pot experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm always wary of paying for hotpot outside my home as I grew up eating it and it's SO EASY to DIY at home. Han Oak's hot pot experience offered fresh, local ingredients as well as their 15hr bone broth. The banchan were fresh and elevated - the smashed potato was my fav of the night. All the ingredients for the hot pot were traditional, vibrant and soul-nourishing. The broth was on the salty side for me, but was very flavorful. I really enjoyed all the vegetables that came with it - chrysanthemum, ota tofu, mushrooms, rice cake and noodles. It was the perfect meal for Portland weather. Service was fast and efficient, and the staff members were keen to explain the process and the dishes. I love Han Oak's innovative take on traditional meals and the variety of their prix fixe experiences. I had a lovely first time at Han Oak, and would definitely recommend! read more

My bf and I both really enjoyed this spot. The vibe is intimate and Portland-y. Service was good. The food was delicious. There were so many sides, I couldn't finish all of mine. The galbi jjim was our favorite. The cod was good but not our favorite. The cabbage soup was so good too! The bonchon was definitely fancied up compared to the usual stuff you'd get from a traditional Korean restaurant. The dessert was just ok, I was hoping for the tiramisu. Overall a good experience! It's pricey so I would return for a special occasion but it won't be in our regular rotation read more

Delicious food. Tasty drinks. Great staff. Felt like eating with family -- would highly recommend!

We went on a Saturday night to try their spring menu. Overall - Food was 5 stars, ambience was 3.5, Service was 4. We had a reservation and were quickly seated in a back corner next to the waitress stand/register in front of clear plastic which had a bunch of yard discards/ pile, which was a little weird. We quickly ordered wine and our entrees the first time the waitress came over since that took a bit. The spring menu was absolutely to die for... we ordered a bottle of wine which actually came after the first part of the meal being delivered, that's how meh our service was. My friend and I shared the two different Rib entrees and had no regrets. Everything was delicious... whatever is in those Carrots is epic. Only thing is, no one ever came back to refill our wine (we did it ourselves the entire meal), and while we were checked on, we didn't get water refills either. Was odd. Overall, I would come back, but for the price I expect better service than we got. read more

For years, Han Oak had been sitting in my bookmarks, and this time, when my husband chose it for his birthday dinner, I happily obliged being the epitome of a loving wife! Making a reservation was a breeze, and when we arrived, we were seated at the counter. I did regret not choosing the outdoor seating, as it was a beautiful day, but sitting at the counter turned out to be fun too. Watching the hustle and bustle of the kitchen and bar added a nice touch of energy to our evening. This was my first time having hot pot, and I think Han Oak has spoiled me for future ones. they've set the bar so high. Everything from the veggies to the meats was incredibly fresh, and the broth was packed with flavor. I loved the banchan and honestly, it might have been my favorite part of the meal. The cocktails were excellent, too. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and would be even more fun to do with a group of friends because it felt like too much food for two people. read more

The atmosphere of this place is top notch. We did the tasting menu and they did bring out a lot of food. I did enjoy making little sushi rolls. With the seaweed, rice, egg, salmon, cucumbers and beets that they bring out. Without concocting this yourself, the food separately was average by itself. I did enjoy the corn and meat entrees later too. The tiramisu I personally did not like. The jelly stuff in it ruined it for me. read more

Overhyped and not worth it. When I say I have been wanting to try this restaurant for years I am not kidding. When I had the opportunity to come back to Portland, I had to make it happen. Let's start with the positives. The atmosphere was great. I loved the organic look coupled with the industrial garage scene. It was fun and natural. The food itself was fresh. You can tell the team takes pride in high quality food. The service - hostess was great. She made the effort on the way out and in to stop and chat and get to know me and my party. That is it for positives. Let me be clear, the food was not bad. The problem is it is significantly overpriced for what you get. At 65$ a head for a pre fixed menu, this food better be great. There was not one thing on the menu that I thought "this is amazing, I need more". It all lacked complexity and was frankly boring. The galbi-jjim was basically pot roast style short rib. Simple and something I could make at home. The kimchi cured pork ribs were not tender. They were seasoned well but, not something I would say had a lot of flavor. The jipbab contained some good elements but no creativity and frankly I have had much better at similar or lesser price points. The tiramasu was the worst thing on the menu. First off, for my party of 3, we were given 2 pieces to share. I damn sure better get my own piece for 300+ dollars. The coffee jelly in it threw off the texture. Plus, there were chunks in the custard. All items on the menu were low cost and again, not worth the price point. I am not sure if my experience was simply based off of this seasons menu or if this is a consistent experience. Overall, if I were invited to go back, I would go and try again with a different menu. I desperately want to like Han Oak and I am hoping my experience was a one off though, I have a feeling this restaurant chef if getting too comfortable. read more

Came here at the end of last year and our meal was delicious. Han Oak gives a really unique twist on Korean food and every plate that came out went back completely empty. My partner and I both ordered the galbi-jjim slow braised short rib, root veg, bulgogi but the next time we come back I'd like to try the kimchi cured pork ribs korean pepper glaze. The steam egg dish was also a big highlight. Would highly recommend! read more

I don't like to do not positive reviews on local businesses, but I was genuinely disappointed in Han Oak. The hype, the raves from friends have been crazy for a long time and maybe I just had a little too high of expectations. Hot pot is always my thing, and this was just average. Broth (which is again, hyped up and this amazing hours or day long thing that I know they put in a lot of work for), tasted like not a whole lot. Maybe it's supposed to be lighter like Shabu shabu? The veggies are the highlight, bountiful and beautiful. Meats are okay, nothing special and fish is fresh, but didn't add a lot for me. The extra dumplings were okay. But with such high quality Korean dumplings everywhere, again wasn't a wow. The Banchan is distinct and different, but lacking in flavor. I will say that we did appreciate the massive refill on the kimchee. Service was mixed as well, most times, amazingly helpful and wonderful, and at others some miscommunication. A "glad we tried it" at $65 per person with adds, drinks and tip, it ended up about $360ish for 3 people. I think I need to go back when the menu changes. Keep up the great work, and sorry this was a miss for us. read more

Han Oak is now doing tableside hot pot! So fun! I went with two other people. Order the cocktail called Umami Mommie to start. The title says it all. Every single banchan item was spectacular! We ordered a second round even though we were so full. It was worth it. Tons of fresh and colorful veggies and a large meat tray came to the table. We ordered the seafood add on and I'm so glad. Delicious and so fresh. If you've never had hot pot before they will walk you through it. The restaurant is tucked back between two buildings but they have a sidewalk sign to guide you. We made reservations which was smart. It was busy on the week night we went. read more

Had dinner here tonight with my wife and we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was tasty and beautifully presented, the service was friendly, and the ambiance was warm, modern, and intimate--felt like a cozy little hidden gem. One big plus? It's great value. For two people, including drinks, our total came out to just $167--super reasonable for the quality, especially considering how well-crafted the dishes and cocktails were. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the timing of the meal. The dishes came out quite slowly, and not in the most logical order. For example, our rice arrived hot at the beginning, but since everything else came out gradually across an hour, by the time we finished eating, the rice had gone cold. Just felt a bit mismatched in pacing. That said, the overall experience was still very enjoyable. The flavors were great, the plating was thoughtful, and the price point was more than fair. We'd definitely come back again--and next time, maybe just let them know we'd like dishes to arrive closer together read more

Not as good as I thought it would be. Slightly disappointed-- The food was OK. And that's it. nothing crazy. And unfortunately the kimchi wasn't that great (sorry to the owners mama) It didn't have a good kimchi ferment taste and it was too sweet, the radish didn't really absorb any flavors either. It didn't really taste like fresh kimchi either. Not sure how to put jt. The service was poor. We sat at the bar and the bartender served us. That's not the problem the problem was she basically ignored us the entire time... and she was right in front of us the whole time. No engagement what so ever. It made the whole experience unpleasant. The actually restaurant is beautiful, it's quite busy but it really gives off a great ambiance with the noise of a busy restaurant. read more

My husband and I dined here for our first time to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The ambiance is casual and whimsical yet intimate. We each enjoyed a cocktail and the prefixe menu. The flavors of each dish were quite unique and blended both Korean and American flavors harmoniously.

Overall I felt like the food was well worth the price, and can't wait to return back for their next seasonal menu! read more

Han Oak - Korean Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I had mixed feelings about this place. Overall, however, I'd have to give it a thumb's down. Pros: the food. My wife and I both felt it was pretty good - though not great. Good is usually enough for us to want to return to a place. That said... Cons: -When we go out to a nice restaurant, we expect to be able to have a leisurely dinner, particularly on the weekend. That was not the case here. They quickly brought out the first course and, within just a couple minutes after we had finished, they brought out the main course. Of course, we don't want to wait a half hour between courses, but the speed with which they brought out entree was crazy. Including desert, our entire time at the restaurant was just a shade over an hour. -Pricing. They give you a ton of food on the prix fixe - they don't offer a la cart options - and given how much food they provide, the price tag was reasonable. The problem? Neither my wife or I could come close to eating all of the food on our plates. So, here's a suggestion in case the owner(s) is/are reading: try reducing your portions by a quarter to a third as well as the price of the prix fixe (from $65 to about $45 or $50). -Food restrictions. When the server asked if we had any food restrictions, I let him know that I can't eat particularly spicy food. He said that would be no problem as they "customize" each diner's needs. Unfortunately, a number of the appetizers they brought me were laden with chile pepper of some sort. I tasted them all and abstained from eating more. read more

Service was very attentive, they all worked together to give you the best service they can give you. The food looks like it was very little but it's actually a lot. I like how it felt light while eating and was able to walk out being full. read more

Fun and delicious take on traditional Korean cuisine. Comfortable industrial atmosphere. Service was some of the best we've had.

Partner and I landed Friday nite reservations here to celebrate a big anniversary The entrance is a bit hidden but there's an A-frame signboard in the parking lot on 24th to guide the way in. (Finding the way out from within is also a tiny adventure lol) First impressions on the inside(/outdoor) space were positive all around: the space heaters had warmed up the covered patio nicely, the disco lights were disco-ing, and the background music cycled thru some great jams. Lots of good people watching too! The set menu of the nite/month was hot pot. I can understand some others' complaints about the high price but we enjoyed our meal "in abundance" with refills on everything and left very satisfied! Four selections of meat (beef and pork), local rockfish, a giant platter of veggies (featuring ota tofu, mushrooms galore, salad greens, fish cake, sprouts, taters), and noodles to cook up in their 15-hour bone broth (which also gets refilled regularly). Plus banchan -- faves were the kale salad and potatoes. Plus dipping sauce! Plus chili oil! AYCE! Dessert of the nite was vanilla citrus custard yummmmm. Hostess and wait staff were all delightful and made the nite feel special for us. read more

There's a reason why this place gets so much notariaty. The service was great! Everyone was nice and attentive. The banchan came out immediately, and I finished it off fairly quickly for them to immediately refill more plates of these lovely snacks. They had only the Gimbap party and some add ons when I went. The gimbap party consisted of a variety of toppings for you to roll your own rolls. It was a very fun experience. I ended up being full after the main gimbap, but I really wanted to try the seafood add-on, so I ended up ordering the add-on because everything that came out had its own distinct taste. The add-on was also well put together and was worth it. The cocktail was also very well balanced. The dessert was a shaved iced coconut strawberry type dish. This was a nice ending to my meal. I left Han Oak a little bit too full, but I had a lovely experience. read more

Han Oak - Frontage - Korean Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Came here because it was on "Somebody feed Phil" and tbh, didn't know what to expect. Sometimes Phil's recommendations are GREAT (new orleans) and sometimes they're a bit meh (Austin). My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Han Oak. The food was delicious and we could really taste the Korean fusion. Everything was very Korean, but many of the items were elevated with a twist such as the banchan and beef brisket. I also really like how the restaurant is true to its Korean core and offers unlimited banchan and sides. Food: At first, I thought $65 was a bit expensive for gimbap, considering the fact that you can purchase gimbap for $10 from Korean grandmas, but the meat and fish was made to perfection!! It feels like chef Peter took a very simple dish and made it more fun and elevated. The seaweed wasn't too dull, with the perfect amount of crunch and the mushrooms, something so simple, had a lot of flavor. I was a little disappointed about how the rice was unevenly cooked though, some parts were too wet and some were too hard (feels like a big Asia restaurant no-no!!) The bingsu dessert flavor was also quite unique although we felt like the ice could have been more smooth. Drinks: We were really impressed by the big selection of unique cocktails and wine bottles. The wine director was there at the time, and we really appreciated how he helped us pick out a bottle! They offer Oranges, which we thought was unique (coming from California at least). His recommendation really complimented the dishes. Atmosphere: It was very chill and the perfect mixture of indoor and outdoor with a hint of romance. You kinda feel like you've stepped into a special place once you walk through those doors in the parking lot. I love how they left the green lawn empty, it doesn't give the restaurant too much of a crowded feeling. The volume of the music was perfect and the tables weren't too close together - I could still hear my husband and know that no one can hear us!! The vibes were great!! Service: Very friendly staff!! Our waiters were all very knowledgeable about the dishes, although at one point they did forget to refill our banchan. WOULD I COME HERE AGAIN? YES!!! Love their take on Korean fusion, the vibes, and drink selection. Personally, my husband and I loved it as a date night spot. We walked over to "too soon" cocktail bar afterwards and it was the perfect end to the night! read more

This is the first time I've been back to Han Oak since they switched to the hot pot menu and I definitely am glad I visited. To start, their broth was delicious and I could just drink a bowl of that. I added on the Kimchi and the lobster corn cheese and both were delicious but honestly I would have been very happy with just the set menu and the seafood set. The seafood from the seafood set was all sashimi grade and could be eaten raw. Super fresh and would absolutely add on again. The meats were tender and delicious and the noodles were fresh made. We finished everything and were offered more meat, which we didn't even realize was an option! Sounds like we could have gotten more veggies too but we had already filled up on the Banchan. The service was great and our pot was filled back up with broth every time it started to get low. The drinks were also delicious but I'd say the babysitters club mocktail was a little spendy at $16. Overall, I'd recommend this experience for everyone and I think it was delicious and totally worth it. read more

Han Oak is worth the elevated experience of Korean food through the lens of kim bap. The whole experience was playful, fresh, and of course delicious! We wanted to try this place because of the Netflix show Somebody Feed Phil. We weren't disappointed. The menu is set for you. It is a go and enjoy with friends, type of vibe. I believe the menu changes seasonally based on what is available in terms of local produce. There will be some variations depending on when you go. But the basic set up is consistent. You have ban chan appetizers, which include chef's mom's kimchi. Then you have the mains to build your own kim bap experience. Then dessert to end the meal - bingsu and maybe another option with Korean-inspired flavors. Everything for us was solid. It was nice to have fresh local ingredients highlighted during this meal. Service was also exceptional. Han Oak easily accommodated one of our party's dietary needs (gluten and meat free). Han Oak is an innovative spin on 'everyday' Korean food. It is meant to be interactive and experiential, a meal you share and a vibe you partake of and contribute to. I consider it non-snooty fine dining. One gripe I have is that the temp of some of the dishes could have been served hot (but this is more a personal preference). As a reference, kim bap is usually eaten at room temperature, so it makes sense the food wasn't hot. read more

What a fun place! Looks like a converted garage and the door is a bit hard to find but once you are inside it's cozy and the ambiance is perfect. The menu is set and the night we went it was a banchan party! Kimchi, potato salad, pear and green salad, and fried eggplant started us with a selection of sauces. I'm not normally an eggplant person but it was so good we got an extra dish of it. The soup was the weakest point of the meal mostly because the ingredients were random and didn't exactly go together. The upcoming banchan party made up for it! Almost unlimited house made pickled veggies with a nice helping of animal proteins made the night! You can mix and match with nori, rice paper squares, and rice. It was so good and filling! We ended the night with a lovely custard that is well worth it. It's definitely worth the experience! read more

Such a fun and unique dining experience! First off, the entrance is very easy to miss. There isn't really an entrance per se, rather an ambiguous door that leads you to their indoor outdoor patio-esque restaurant. They have the area sealed up for the winter with plenty of heaters to warm up the space so you still have that "eating outdoors" vibe. The menu is super simple since really everyone is having the same food. The banchan was a bit lackluster for us though the sauce with the tofu was actually very tasty! We opted to do the wagyu upgrade, the sizzling vegetables and fried soft shell crab. The wagyu was incredible and came in this tasty yuzu broth that we opted to keep on the side for the main course. The "build your own" kimbap is brilliant and they provide you with plenty of fillings as well as a generous portion of meats. To add to it, the fillings are refillable and the meats can be refilled once. For the price we paid, we felt that this was so incredibly worth it! The only disappointment of the night for me was the dessert. Just felt very one dimensional and simple as shaved ice could be. However, I would come back here in a heart beat! It's a total value and the the food is worth it! read more

Came here with a reservation for 7 and 2 children on a Friday night around 8pm and it was still packed! Working as a set course meal, the idea behind the meal is a deconstructed gimbap. Serving endless fresh veggies paired with either the bulgogi, koji coopa, or scallops, each bite is decadent and packs a punch. The different flavors and textures play off each other, and it was super filling! The drinks were all good and unique. I had a umami Mami, which is soju and vodka mixed with sesame, miso, and lemon. It was definitely something I haven't had anywhere else and was tasty! We happen to have an open mic karaoke night and it was such a fun crowd and time. People singing their hearts out, laughs being shared, I definitely would come back. read more

I'd wanted to dine here for quite a while. So I was thrilled when they were hosting the Good Food foundations dinner and I was invited to attend. The service was exceptional, especially considering it was an event of all food and beverage industry professionals, and business owners. A very demanding group. Such a beautiful and unique set up with the open courtyard design. Wish I'd gotten a photo of that, but there are plenty available to reference online. The cocktails were exceptional. I had one that had a slight note of savoriness to it with sesame oil. The starters that were put out for everyone to Nashon while they arrived at the event were fresh, unique, and delicious with a seafood. Mind blowing dinner served family style. Grilled beef and Hamachi Crudo served with an array of sides, rice and seaweed to create handheld bites. read more

Heard about Han Oak from David Chang's Ugly Delicious. We happened to be able to get a reservation during our visit. The restaurant was hidden but the interior was so cool; industrial but also had an indoor/outdoor vibe. It was a gimbap party themed menu, which was so cool. We were so happy with each course. The food was delicious and well thought out. Service was impeccable! Would recommend to anyone visiting Portland. read more

This was our first hot pot experience and lemme tell you, it was AMAZING. Han Oak itself was super cute, but a smidge tricky to find. I'm not mad about it. I felt like I was walking into some backalley narnia and ended up in one of the coolest spots we've eaten at over the years, We were able to snag the chefs counter spot and enjoyed awesome conversation with the bartender and wait staff, never went without replenishment on drinks or food, and got to see the action live from the kitchen (we're both ex pirates and really love seeing kitchen dynamics). The food was phenomenal. Cocktails strong but very tasty. From the hot pot fixings, to the dumplings, and the starter course (you can replenish all four items by asking), you can't go wrong with this "chefs menu" style dining they offer. read more

Tried this place for the first time and I loved it!! It is on the pricier side, but all the dishes here are so worth it. We made a reservation and were seated right away. I highly recommend making one! The inside is so cute and has an open interior. It is probably so nice in the summer when the large windows are open. Our servers were super nice and explained everything on the menu and how to eat it. We got the gimbap party set menu, the fried softshell crab, and the sizzling seafood. The side dishes were amazing, especially the silken tofu! The gimbap was also delicious! It came with two meats, raw scallops, and an array of fillings for the gimbap. The build your own wraps were a unique spin on traditional gimbap rolls. The softshell crab was super crunchy and the sizzling seafood had a lemon perilla butter that paired perfectly! I will definitely be coming back here and recommend it!! read more

Han Oak - Corned beef soo yook - Korean Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is a hidden gem in PDX. You need to park on the road, they don't allow you to park on the small parking area that they have. We were told it's reserved for the VIP guests :( We had their hot pot. All of us in our family never liked hot pots, we prefer Korean bbq which was what we were expecting. This place changed our idea about hot pots! This is the best hot pot place that we have even been to!!! The broth was soooo good to start with. The meats were excellent quality. Banchans were very tasty. We all agreed that we will definitely be coming back here! read more
