Hearty K-Bop is my Battle Ground guilty pleasure! Our friends turned us on to this restaurant when they moved here several years ago, and it's always been our first suggestion every time we visit. Even though I live in Portland, hardly a food desert, this is by far my favorite Korean fried chicken! I'm shy to admit this, but I've been known to drive 30 minutes out of town for takeout from this restaurant before. My favorite dish is the soy-garlic fried chicken; boneless chicken with with a light, sweet garlic sauce loaded with spices. It's crispy, juicy, sticky, and oh, so delicious! Hearty K-Bop also serves bibimbop, bulgogi and ramen, but I've never tried anything but their KFC. I mean, it's so delicious... why would I? read more

Hearty K-Bop - Interior - Korean Near Me - Battle Ground, Washington

I came in today for lunch around noon and there was nobody in the entire place eating. I don't know why because this place really has some really good chicken. I got the eight piece Yang Yumm chicken boneless and it was delicious. I was surprised to see that they actually gave me 10 pieces and not eight. I also got the corn slaw, which is a combination of corn and coleslaw. I remember getting it last time I was here and was looking forward to getting it again. The lady at the counter who took my order was really nice. The restrooms are really clean and the service was really fast. I can't wait to come back in again sometime soon. If you haven't been here, I would give it a try. read more

Hearty K-Bop - Yang Yumm chicken and corn slaw - Korean Near Me - Battle Ground, Washington

After a full day, my partner and I kicked our dining choice to her daughter. This was selected. I had wanted to eat here for a while and just had not overcome inertia. In a poorly thought out strip center in a crowded parking lot, this storefront is not super inviting. Once you walk in, however, you realize that this is a friendly family run restaurant which is devoted to bringing Korean food to an audience that might not be completely appreciative The menu was pretty vast. It was not super self-explanatory, but googling some of the menu items was incredibly helpful. You order at the counter, and the server brings the food to you at the table. Note: there is what looks like a self service freshwater dispenser. It is not. There is even a sign saying that it is not. And they're serious about that. I ordered the yang yum boneless chicken with rice, my partner ordered the soy-garlic boneless chicken with pickled radish and her daughter ordered the teok-bokki with mandu. The server promptly brought out our drinks and very shortly, our meal showed up. The portion size for the teok-bokki was just absolutely insane. Enough for any reasonable person to get three meals out of. The mandu were sort of like dumplings, which just added to the volume of the meal. The pickled radishes were cubes, served in a pickling sauce, in a cup. A very interesting presentation, but I understand traditional. Everything was incredibly tasty. I understand why people rave about Korean fried chicken now. This is absolutely going to be an addition to the rotation of restaurants we frequent. Highly recommended! read more

Incredible food, friendly and quick service! Saw this place while driving by and had to try it. If this place was closer to my house, I'd be here once a week! It's clean and beautifully decorated to be warm and inspirational. I had two flavors of fried chicken, veggie fried rice, a side of corn slaw, kimchi, and even got some pickled radish for free! I was thisclose to ordering the radish, and she must have read my mind after I decided all that food would be enough. read more

Update... because several years later this chicken still slaps! We get cravings for it every once in a while and every time we get it, it is delicious and so well cooked. We mostly go for the boneless yangyum chicken which is our favorite. Fresh, hot, saucy, but still cripsy! I love rice and the rice is cooked well. The kimchi is quite good and has a really nice spice to it! We always have great service and everyone is so kind. I have never eaten there in person, I always get it to go, but they do have some tables to eat inside. It's a cute little spot with great food. read more

Fresh. Good fried chicken. Counter service. Friendly staff. Not crowded. I'll go back

Great food and great service!!! I called him to go order and it was ready as soon as I walked in! Love this restaurant

Mannnn Them dumplings? 8.5/10 Them GARLIC SOY WINGS !!!!!! 9.7/10. Shocked in the best way. Kind woman took my order place is right near the gas station! The garlic soy wings taste so wonderful, I don't really have words to describe them. They're an original taste, but it was a soft breaded wing, which I usually don't enjoy, but it turned out to be more than wonderful. I would ABSOLUTELY. Recommend them! read more

Walking into this place feels like stepping into a secret club for fried chicken lovers. The soy garlic chicken sizzling and glistening, and suddenly you understand why people get so obsessed. I always pile on extra radishes. Those little pickled bursts of tang are fireworks against all that crispy, juicy chicken, and sometimes a side of coleslaw just to keep things interesting. Every bite is a little thrill. The crunch of the skin, the tender, almost buttery meat inside, and that perfect garlicky-sweet zing. The pieces are huge!! So big that you feel triumphant just holding one in your hands. Eating here is messy, indulgent, and completely unapologetic but effortlessly enjoyable. read more

First of all, craving for KFC satisfied. Been looking for somewhere close to Vancouver and this DID NOT disappoint. FOOD: We ordered the large bone in chicken in Yang Yum and Soy Garlic. If you order large, the you can split into 2 flavours. So juicy and crunchy at the same time and oh so fresh. Really enjoyed the flavours! They even have boneless options. Large enough portions for two of us. Comes with one large side (if you order a large chicken) so we ordered the corn slaw which was super refreshing and not heavy at all. Also ordered sides of rice and the pickled radishes which are tart and cut through the sweetness of the chicken. SERVICE: A super kind woman at the register who was patient with us and explained the menu and how to order. She was prompt, brought us our food quickly, gave us waters. So sweet! AMBIANCE: It's a cute little restaurant! It was empty when we went but there were a few tables from which to choose and everything was clean! OVERALL: A great spot for food! Can't wait to try their other dishes and get more chicken. Craving very much satisfied and then some. read more

Hearty K-Bop - Yang yum and soy garlic KFC. DELICIOUS. - Korean Near Me - Battle Ground, Washington

The service here was really good, they were very attentive. We had ordered the wings thinking they were gonna be spicy, but we got the mild wings. We asked the server if they were supposed to come spicy and she ended up bringing us out the spicy sauce which ended up being super spicy! It has a slow burning heat (yang yum) which I really liked. The chicken wings were super meaty, crunchy, and delicious. We also ordered the beef Bulgogi, which was OK tasted more like a teriyaki stirfry had a lot of vegetables in it. The restaurant was clean and quiet. read more

Hearty K-Bop - Beef Bulgogi. Bone In Yang Yum Fried Chicken - Korean Near Me - Battle Ground, Washington

I decided to check this place out not too long ago and was not disappointed at all! The yangyum chicken has to be top of my list for one of the many things they offer on the menu at this spot. The service is fast and the sweetest lady who works in the front has always makes sure to ask if I need anything before walking out. Hearty K-Bop is definitely one of the spots that's gets a solid 5 stars! read more

AMAZING FOOD! The flavors are so good. The kimchi was delicious. The owner was super friendly and a great host. The menu was easy to sort through. We got the ramen, soy wings (sweet and salty), and spicy pork bulgogi. The place was clean and plenty of seating for the size of the restaurant. Good place for small groups (2-6) or a date night! read more

Still hands down our favorite Korean in SW Washington. When I'm cravings wings, this is the place. When my daughter wants pickled radish, this is the place. Their teobokki was always great but dang their japchae is AHmazing. Highly recommend. Always able to sit right away. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Service is quick and the food is divine. read more

It's great to see a shop specializing in Korean Fried Chicken in Battle Ground. No need to go to Portland/Beaverton for it anymore. There is parking here, and it's clean. Their menu is small and specialized. The staff suggested getting their Yang yum chicken, and I got it with bone in. It also comes with a side so I got their corn slaw. You can pick other sides like rice, mandu (dumpling) or kimchi as well. The Yang Yum sauce is sweet and spicy. Their chicken was fried well, chicken was juicy and not dry. Good amount of sauce for the fried chicken. The sauce is sticky and you'll definitely need to wash your hands after. However, that's how I like Korean Fried Chicken. The corn slaw is like regular Coleslaw with cabbage but their replace it with corn. Definitely helps lighten up the meal a little bit. read more

We tried the beef bulgogi, tofu bibimbap, and soy garlic and yang yum fried chicken. Everything was fantastic. Veggies were fresh, tofu was crispy on the outside and silky in the middle. Hostess was very friendly and helpful. Very highly recommended. read more

Food bussssss down & customer service stupendous.... Get the fried chicken and kimchi !!

I'm not sure if I just came on an "off" night, but I was disappointed in the food, especially based on all of the hugely favorable reviews. First off, the restaurant is very clean, and the staff are very friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. Service is fast, and diners are brought a caddy with lots of napkins, wet wipes (a MUST for the yang yum chicken wings), flatware, and metal chopsticks. This is a very thoughtful and welcome touch. Portion size is reasonable, but prices seem to be high for how much food you get. The chicken wings were very crisp, but the chicken itself got completely lost in the (to my palate) overly sweet and sticky yang yum glaze. Getting this in the boneless variety and served with rice would probably make for a better experience. Potstickers fared better, but they were nothing noteworthy. The menu is very small, specializing in chicken, Japchae, and Bibimbap. If you're in the neighborhood, I'd recommend giving Hearty K-Bop a try. read more

Hearty K-Bop - *Boneless Soy Garlic* Boneless Yang Yum Fried Chicken* - Korean Near Me - Battle Ground, Washington

LOVE Korean food. The service was prompt and friendly. Ambience was clean and decorated just right. Not gaudy. Not plain. Which we appreciate. My favorite was the Bi Bim Bap. My husband's favorite were the wings. All of them. The wings were crisp on the outside, flavorful, and moist on the inside. The Bi Bim Bap was a delicious blend of rice, vegetables, and bulgogi beef, with an egg on top. If you prefer an over easy egg, which is more traditional, just let them know in advance. The kim chee was on point. Crisp, yet also tender. Not too spicy. Definitely not mild. We could tell it was fresh. Not gooey and limp, like what you buy at grocery stores. The Jap Chae hit the spot. Together with the beef dish, the wings, and the rice, our dinner was a delighful foray into Korean cuisine. Reminiscent of the Korean chicken I would have back home, in restaurants, in Hawaii. Hard to believe this gem of a restaurant was in a strip mall in Battle Ground. The biggest surprise was that Mimi recognized us. Mimi is the mom of the owner, Chris. We had NO IDEA she worked there. Mimi and her husband used to own dry cleaning businesses, and a laundromat, in Hazel Dell l, called Mimi's Cleaners. She and her husband sold it recently, to retire. My husband just told me that a few days ago, when he went to drop off some clothes. THEN THIS happened!! Kismet!! ~ What was not surprising, was that Mimi wasn't ready to just sit around in retirement. So she told us that she helps now and then with the restaurant. I told my kids (all in their 30's), and now they can't wait to try Hearty K-Bop too. Now I know why the Korean flavors taste so authentic. It is a Korean-owned business. I'm sure their recipes have been handed down through family. Sure tastes like it. I used to have to go all the way to Beaverton for good Korean food. Now, I only have to drive 15 minutes away. And... I get to say "hi" to an old friend. We were Mimi's Cleaners customers for several years. I was going to give them 5 stars before Mimi spotted my husband and I dining there. If I could give DOUBLE STARS, I would. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Mimi's family knows how to run good businesses. But even more than that... our tummies were dancing with delight! Try Hearty K-Bop! The difficulty will be deciding what your favorite dish is. But how FUN is that?!? read more

I visited the restaurant for the first time after ordering online. We received a very warm welcome excellent service by Sarah who just put a smile on my face. The food was delicious and even my mom, who is picky, loved it. The wings and bibimbap are my favorite and all the appetizers we got were satisfying and tasty. The ambiance wasn't what I was expecting. It's relaxed, calming and beautiful. read more

The yangyum chicken is amazing! My family and I have been going to Hearty K-bop for 2 years on a regular basis. The food is consistently good. Especially the chicken, which never disappoint. The service is always good as well. Every person who has served us has been friendly and nice. I highly recommend this place and will continue to be a patron of this restaurant. read more

Best bibimbap! I have been searching for good bibimap since I left Seattle. And even in other seattle neighborhoods, I kept being disappointed with the bibimbap, but Hearty K Bop totally nails it. They use all the ingredients: shredded carrots, zucchini, red cabbage, plus bean sprouts and spring mix, along with the rice, beef, and a fried egg. They serve the shredded vegetables cold, which is refreshing. The arrangement in the bowl is beautiful. Their house made spicy sauce is good but a touch sweet for me, but mixing it with their second sauce made it perfect for me. These folks care about the food and about you. I don't live in battle ground but I will make special trips for this bibimbap. read more

Amazing food and very kind service. The bibimbap and yang yum were phenomenal! Will definitely come back.

Wonderful customer service , the vibe is so kind,warm, and relaxing! Very happy we got to stop by here. food is amazing!

My family and I are so happy we found Hearty K-Bop! We have tried every dish and they are all absolutely delicious. From the Korean sauces they toss their wings to the spicy pork with rice. The chicken wings are so juicy and the sauce is SO good! They have two different types of sauces: Yang Yum and Soy garlic. The Yang Yum has a sweet with a hint of spice to it and Soy Garlic has a more salty sweetness to them. You can taste every single dish was made with so much love. Everyone working is so wonderful and welcoming. They make you feel like family. The ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing and comfortable. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place is so delicious!! The chicken is the best when I'm in the mood for fried chicken. I love the japchae (had no idea what it was before and glad I tried it!) and the corn slaw, so good! I tried the macho king flavor thinking I could handle the heat.....I could not!! I had to sadly throw most of it away because I couldn't even eat it due to the spicy level but they warned me when I ordered it! Highly recommend this small business. read more

What an awesome find on the WA side of the river! If you're tired of driving into Portland for authentic Korean Fried chicken I have your answer, Hearty K-Bop! My family of 6 and friends (additional party of 5) arrived with a total of 3 preschoolers and two teenagers in addition to 6 adults. We were greeted by the owner Chris and his wife and additional staff who were very warm and welcoming. We asked them for recommendations and the pointed out several items which they thought we would like. We tried the yang yum bone in chicken, soy garlic bone in chicken, and the wasabi crispy boneless chicken. We had orders of bibimbap and Bulgogi along with their japchae and corn-slaw sides. I also have to mention their kimchi sides were very tasty. Arguably some of the best kimchi at a restaurant I've had in a long time, good flavor and clearly fresh. Everything was very delicious. The chicken pieces were sizable and very flavorful. The quality of the chicken was better than any of the other Korean chicken restaurants throughout Portland. I was worried the boneless chicken would be dry but it was super tender. As it turns out the owners attended a special chicken preparation school in Korea and paid to learn authentic recipes to prepare their dishes. It is very clear they care about the quality of the food they serve and want every customer to have an excellent experience. My only hope is they are able to create spicier and spicier versions of their chicken, but rest assured we'll be back! read more

We were in the area and decided to try this place out. It's a small quaint location. The staff was very nice. We came in about 45 minutes before close and told them we'd be happy to take it to go if they wanted, but they said it was nice to have us dine in. We tried a few items, and all were delicious. We got a large order of the Yang yum chicken. It was so good - crispy, juicy, and so tasty. It came with a side of corn slaw which was different but very good. We also tried the pork bulgogi. Spicy, so be prepared for that, but not too spicy you couldn't eat it. Their menu is small but it's done very well. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Their service is also awesome and the lady (owner) was very attentive while we were there. read more
