    Tasty banchan!
    Cindy H.

    The restaurant is spic and span, huge, clean and obviously new. (Apparently, there was a smaller location before.) The person I presume is the owner, greeted us VERY warmly and kept up the friendly tone throughout the meal, checking in with us frequently. We got seated near the door on some pretty uncomfortable wooden benches that reminded me of benches for bad kids at a school. We got used to them! The only other negative --- we received our drinks promptly but it took at least 30 minutes before he could return to get our order. Once we did order, the food arrived FAST, less than 5 minutes, delivered by a silent but efficient woman. We chose the 2-3 person BBQ combo. It was plenty of food at a really reasonable price I thought, compared to other Korean BBQ's we have visited. In fact, we don't get BBQ usually because it is so costly. It was a special occasion so we went for it. The soup included is spicy and garlicky with nice tofu and green onions. A great start to the meal. There was a huge quanity of meat piled high. We couldn't imagine how much there must be for the 3 - 5 person combo. The woman server got us started and we kept the meat coming, took turns cooking. Everything turned out juicy and tender, and we loved the nice charred bits from the thinly sliced beef. The marinated beef had an excellent flavor. The pork belly stayed juicy even though we didn't exactly know how long to grill it. The sauce that comes with the meal was nice for dipping purposes. Banchan dishes were plentiful, and each one had different flavors. Interestingly, the kim chee was not hot at all. I'm not sure how I feel about that but maybe it is a special non-hot style of kim chee?? The soup was spicier than the kim chee. Our host asked us several times if we will return, and we assured him we would. This man is hustling to further grow his business. I'm sure based on our experience, he doesn't need to worry!

    So glad I stumbled upon this restaurant during my visit to Oregon! Food was overall so delicious and exceeded my expectations. My thoughts on everything I ordered: Galbi: well marinated with a slight sweetness to it. Paired very well with the rice! So delicious and it was a pretty big portion. I also loved the grilled onions it came with. Yukgaejang: spicy broth! It came with a lot of ingredients like veggies and meat. My only wish is that they gave more noodles! This dish didn't stand out to me in particular, but it was still pretty solid. I absolutely adored the complimentary side dishes they gave! There were kimchi, cucumbers, pasta salad, fish cakes, and veggie salad. Everything was so good and I love that it came with free refills! Staff were friendly and food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. The establishment is pretty big with both booth and table seating. They have the option to do AYCE KBBQ as well. Parking is convenient since there's a free lot within the plaza. As someone who grew up with exceptional Korean food options in LA, I was very impressed with the food offered here! Will definitely come back the next time I visit Oregon!

    Their new spot is much bigger than the previous one. Space is open with lots of tables and now they do KBBQ as well. We still went for just the regular dishes though but it did seem like they've improved their menu. Portion is much larger than before and all the ingredients tasted very fresh and high quality. We really enjoyed the Bulgogi which was charred perfectly. The Spicy Squid was fresh ans flavorful while the Spicy Chicken with Cheese could have used chicken thigh instead of breast but it's loaded with melty cheese. Their Seafood Pajeon was also nice and crispy. Had a great and filling meal here overall!

    Came to their new restaurant and was so impressed at how spacious and modern it looked inside. Came here for a late lunch with my son and he and I enjoyed our meal so much that we plan to come back with our family and try out their KBBQ and other dishes. We ordered the Pork Bulgogi, Mulnengmyun (Cold Noodles) and Mulmandoo (dumplings) and they came with banchan sides. Everything was delicious and flavorful, portions were more than average so I found that it was worth what we paid for. I especially loved the steamed dumplings with the dipping sauce, they were so tender and juicy. I think overall, it was a great experience and will definitely be back!

    Amazing food!! The food is always super tasty. I prefer to come here for main dishes rather than the bbq they offer. The bbq is tasty, but on the pricier side. I really enjoy their main dishes as it is always a little more on the salty-savory side. Eating it with a bowl of rice hits the spot. Their sides are AMAZING. I especially love the potatoes banchan. Their service is great and the owners are always super friendly! I've been a long time customer, back when they first had the restaurant in the inner corner - before they switched it to a pocha style. It's definitely a MUST COME spot if you're coming to portland/beaverton!

    I just ate there on Monday and really enjoyed the atmosphere, no complaints about the service, everyone worked hard and diligently. This is the first time I try Korean food in the U. S and I think that it is delicious, I will comeback here to try another dishes.

    The revamped JCD is excellent as ever. Their food options were fantastic with great taste and variety. We didn't do the BBQ as that is a pretty typical experience. The service here was quick even late night. I appreciate their late hours of business. The remodel turned out nicely and the inside is very clean and modern.

    The Galbi is the best I've had in a long time! The restaraunt feels very clean, fresh and lively every night. Make sure to spend some time talking to Danny the owner as he makes you feel so welcomed!

    First time back at JCD since they reopened in this new location. The owners are always so kind and personable we have been a fan for many years. My favorites are the kimchi pancake and bulgogi but everything is so good! Restaurant is clean and open and I can't wait to eventually try the kbbq!

    Chicken Buldak
    Jez V.

    JCD moved to a new location in the same plaza. We came at 6pm on Sunday night hoping to beat the crowd but there was already lots of people waiting by the door. We waited about 15 minutes to get seated. There are lots of indoor seating so the wait went by quickly. We ordered the cheesy chicken buldak, seafood pancake, spicy squid stir fry, and buddae jjigae. Everything was so delicious. JCD is my favorite Korean restaurant so I was so excited when I found out they expanded. The gold dishes they used for the banchan add a very classy touch. I will definitely be back again and again (will have to try the Korean bbq next time)! Their host was very friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is that the parking lot is always full (because they are so popular) so be prepared to park in nearby lots!

    Tofu soup.

    We are JCD's fan for many years since they had a small place and now they move to the bigger room next to the old one. I love food and i love service over there. They are family business and everyone is very nice like we go visit our friend's house, the owner and their relative treat us so well. Many times that they gave us free drink. Love them and i will still continue to support them. Thank you very much JCD's family

    Food is pretty tasty and there's a ton of seating. Service was friendly, but extremely slow--it took an hour for our food to come out.

    Do you serve spicy raw marinated crab?

    Oh my goshhh luv luv spicy raw crab but not available here....Honestly best thing here is the Korean OG whole chicken

    Does this place serve sushi too?

    They do not.

    Do they serve Korean garlic bread? It's currently the craze in Asia. I'm living in Indonesia at the moment, but moving back to Portland next year. I hope it'll be there soon to eat.

    I didn't see it on the menu.... (Sept 2021)

There are many different sauces to choose from, in addition to other dishes like tteokbokki, ramen, fried rice, etc. We tried the rose tteokbokki and it was cooked perfectly. The sauce had a little kick and was the perfect pairing with our chicken. The chicken wings were excellent! The size of the wings were worth the price, the meat was juicy, and the outside was extra crispy and cooked to perfection. Honey garlic is a nice mild flavor and spicy galbi is a smoky spicy sauce that definitely gives galbi vibes. I also have to add that the service was incredible. We were there on a Saturday night, and the wait staff was on their A game. There was always someone checking in on us, and the food came out QUICK! There are a handful of tables, but I would call in advance if you have a big group so they can plan. You can also make a reservation on Yelp. There are a bunch of TV screens around the restaurant which was perfect for watching March Madness! I'll definitely be back to try more wing flavors!

That being said, service was fast and friendly so no complaints there. I'll start with the good. Both my wife and I got the boneless and the chicken is fried perfectly. it has that light almost tempura style crunch and the chicken is still really moist, which can be hard with boneless. Flavorwise also amazing. I think it really does stick well to the korean flavors and the wings are not overly sauced in a way that makes them less crunchy. Some things I think perhaps could be improved. They have a lot of flavors, and I'm not sure if I missed it somewhere, but I didn't see any indication that you can mix and match sauces. I understand that this is inherently a challenge and there should be a minimum. but even if the minimum is 8, which is their smallest size, i think it would be nice to have multiple sauces to try. The second thing is the pricing. 36$ for 16 boneless wings does feel slightly on the high side, especially since it doesn't really come with any sides.

    Great Atmosphere and Excellent Soft Tofu Stew…read more ​I visited Hansik for dinner on a recommendation from a colleague, and I'm glad I did! The restaurant is very accessible with plenty of parking around the building and a wheelchair-friendly entrance. ​Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. The interior is lovely--very clean and has a great vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away. ​The Meal ​I ordered the Oyster Soft Tofu Stew, which came with a side of rice, a fresh egg, and a variety of banchan (side dishes). ​The Stew: It had a nice spicy kick, but cracking the raw egg into the boiling pot mellowed the heat perfectly. It was delicious and paired wonderfully with the rice. ​The Banchan: While the variety was nice, I found most of the side dishes to be a bit too salty for my personal taste, so I didn't finish them all. ​To-Go: I also ordered a Seafood Scallion Pancake to take home, and the staff was happy to package it up for me. ​Overall, it was a very pleasant solo dining experience with great service. I'd definitely return for the stew!

Thin slice brisket was excellent. I can't wait to come back and try the other Stone Griddle bibimbaps. Clay Pot dishes look amazing too. This is one of there's places you come back and try something different every time and enjoy it.
