Ok their kimchi is way better now and we love this place! We order from here pretty often, my fav is spicy chicken

First time here and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of food they give you. I had the yakisoba with beef bulgogi with lots of veggies. Flavor was good and it came out piping hot. The macaroni salad was a bit too sweet for my taste but they did give a big helping. read more

Convenient strip mall location (near whole Foods). Big parking lot that is usually crowded but I've always managed to get a parking space in front. Except for the curb, there are no stairs or steps to get inside. It might be a tight fit get a mobility vehicle around inside though. Friendly faces greet you as you walk in the door. Small eating area but it'll do in a pinch (I usually take mine food to go anyway). The combination meals are your best value: served with white or black rice, daikon pickles, kimchi, steamed veggies or mac salad for under $20. I've found most of the meats, including the chicken, are fairly fatty. It's a little work to remove the fat but it's all still tasty. The classic Korean bulgogi is made with beef but Koba Grill charges $2 extra for it for some reason. Lots of grilled items, bowls, and all the noodle & rice dishes you'd expect, along with a small kid's menu with kid-sized portions. OK if you're craving a quick Korean snack. read more

I haven't ordered from here in a few months so I was really looking forward to getting my combination plate. Orange chicken was burnt and hard, I absolutely would not be serving this to customers. My chicken bulgogi was extremely dry. Only the fried rice, and Mac salad were good. I'm pretty disappointed with how the meat tasted. I will not be ordering here again. read more

Koba Grill - Chicken Bulgogi & Orange Chicken - Korean Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

The best spicy chicken plate with giant portions - the Macaroni salad is delicious- I pair it with the brown/purple rice

What a super nice group of folks! Got the lunch special and it was a very good value and the bulgogi was perfect with their mac salad.

I tried the spicy pork bowl lunch special and it was great. I really appreciate their lunch specials; the portions are just as generous as their regular bowls and they include three pieces of gyoza and a free drink. It's an amazing deal with plenty of meat and rice. Each bowl also comes with a choice of kimchi or macaroni salad. The pork was really good! The meal also includes a complimentary egg-based soup, making it a great lunch option in the neighborhood. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. read more

Koba Grill - Spicy pork bowl - Korean Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Tried this for the first time tonight - I was pleasantly surprised how many gluten free options there were! We got our food to-go and the portions were huge. The food will last us at least two, maybe three meals. We got the beef bulgogi (ordered it spicy) with black rice and kimchi, spicy pork with black rice and kimchi, and kimchi fried rice with pork. Everything was really good, but we both decided we won't get spicy next time; they were super spicy for us (my husband tolerates hotter spice than me, and this was too spicy for him). Lots of flavor though, so that was great. We'll definitely be back again to try some other non-spicy options. read more

Took Beef Bulgogi, spicy pork and gochujang pork belly from here with fried rice. Meat options were good. Fried rice not tasty enough. Mac was yummy. Service - super quick read more

Food and service is very good, and they still have the free egg drop soup. Only thing is that they charge you for Siracha and other sauces. read more

No matter when I walk in, I'm always greeted by the cashier. If I have questions about anything on the menu, she's always happy to answer my questions. The food is excellent. You get the same quality and flavor every time you order. I appreciate that. The ambiance in the store is it's usually partially full, people always seem to be enjoying their food, and they give free egg drop soup too, while you're waiting for your food. It's always hot, flavorful and delicious. This is one of my favorite places to eat.! read more

Koba Grill is a solid choice if you're looking for Korean food in a fast casual environment. I loved the complementary self service egg flower soup station. We ordered the sampler, the gochujang pork belly, and the spicy chicken and shrimp. The sampler seemed to be all previously frozen, which is not surprising for a fast casual restaurant, but it was still a bit disappointing given the price point. However, the entrees were both delicious and had very large portions. Overall, I'd give Koba Grill a 3.8/5. read more

Of the countless number of times my wife and I have been in the area, we just couldn't find the time to go and try-out new places to eat because of our busy schedule. This was one of those rare occurences when the stars aligned just right with our empty and hungry bellies that we were finally able to visit Koba Grill. We wanted to visit the Sherwood location, but it just so happen that we found another Koba in the vicinity where we were spending our morning and that was in the Beaverton area. You can never deny a hungry stomach and there was 2 of us, so majority rules. My wife and I literally spent about 10 minutes dumbfounded trying to study the menu not once, not twice but thrice and we still couldn't figure out what to get. The gal behind the counter was very patient with us as she quickly identified us a newbies and offered to suggest some of their best selections. I ended up going with the two-item combination comprising of all Pork- (Gochujang Pork Belly- to fill my empty belly and Spicy Pork) and my wife opted for the Off-the-grill Beef Bulgogi. Both our dishes have a choice of side-orders and I went with mac salad, while my wife went with kimchi. We were perplexed when the gal said they offered "Black Rice". Try it- I think it's a combination of red cargo rice and brown rice. Really delicious!! Sorry honey, but I think my dish was the clear winner here. Took about 15-20 minutes for our order to finish. Well worth the wait. As a result, they give you a generously large amount of food. I just loved the flavor of the Gochujang, just the right spiciness and grilled flavor off the pork fat from the belly. The flavor was mouth-watering from both pork choices. Always having your wife with you is a benefit as almost everytime we order something different from each other and as a result, you get to try another item from the menu and your wife as well, so it works out for both loving parties. There is no place to eat inside but if you walk out the door and turn left, you will see some seating in front of the Cold Stone Creamery right at the corner. I was freezing my butt off and I told my wife we needed to go to the car and eat. Inside the car I was sweating my butt off but I'd rather be in the safety and comfort of my own vehicle and then having my car just smell like the food I just ate. With all jokes aside, I can't wait to bring my kids to this place the next time we head back up here in the summer. I find the prices to be fair and in-line and if I was buying this in the Bay Area, for sure they would have been 3-4 dollars more each. The total for both of our dishes was just under $32. I think I just found our go-to Korean grill and for sure we will be marking this as one of our new favorite places to stop by and grab some grub. read more

Kristi waited on us, and she was awesome. We arrived a few minutes before happy hour ended and she managed to get our order in. The California Roll, Shrimp Taco, Potstickers...we delicious! Great service, clean, and friendly staff! read more

Two stars is for the food. No star for the service or everything else. There is no service anyway and the Cashier always mess up the orders. I been here a few times because it is close to my home, but every time it is messed up. I hope the owner is aware of that. I told her " for here" and she confirmed with me too, then she packed everything together in a bag. I told her no onions. And yes, it is all onions. I told her black rice, and yes, it is white. And not just mine, I saw other orders are wrong too! read more

Koba Grill - Korean Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

I keep returning to Koba Grill. I'm not sure why but it's just some good food. Black rice. Yep, I think it's the black rice. The ramen is good too especially since it's not one of those more dedicated ramen shops. Chili beef is also nice. Watch for the chili peppers, the are yummy hot. The port ribs are very good but only available Friday and Saturday. read more

With our usual sushi place closed for repairs, we intended to try the sushi place next door - but it was freezing cold. I had a good feeling about this place so we went in and were completely satisfied. The service couldn't be friendlier or more accommodating. There is a menu full of noodles, rice dishes like bibimbop, and grilled items. We ordered grilled salmon and chicken ramen. Everything is customizable, you can have sides of housemade macaroni salad, kimchi, or three different types of rice with your meal. Most of all, it's warm in here! read more

Great tasting food, great friendly service. Clean restaurant, pleasant environment and background music. Even gave us a complimentary peach and strawberry smoothie. read more

If you're like me, hair in your food just ruins the meal and the mood. I ordered two dishes and I started to notice a stringy thing....yep THREE LONG BLACK HAIRS. I'm a guy with short hair so I can't even. I'm gagging and trying to get that hair texture out of my mouth. I called the restaurant and the poor girl was not sure what to do but asked their manager, I'm guessing, and was just told to deal with it through Postmates. I mean, sure but it just seemed like another day in the life of Koba Grill. I won't be back, unfortunately. :( read more

Was looking for a quick and tasty Asian food at a reasonable price. That is exactly what I got. I've gone to this place twice on my lunch breaks from work. The portions are large and the food is decent in flavor. If you want to play it safe, and have some fast and easy Asian food, this is the place to go. They always give me a huge amount of fried rice whenever I order it and it is always served hot. Good value, good for leftovers. read more

Recently i went to the one in Beaverton and loved it, so I decided to go here. Got the same dish (Tangy Spicy Chicken) but there were some noticeable differences. First, the lunch specials are not clearly advertised. I would not have known about them if it were not for the other restaurant. Secondly, the lunch prices were $1 higher and add another $1 if I get noodles vs rice or veggies. That's already $2 more for the same dish than the Beaverton one. The other thing is they only had one soup for customers, which was Egg Flower. No Hot and Sour which was my favorite. The other restaurant had both. Finally, the bowl itself just wasn't as tasty or saucy as the Beaverton one. I'm not sure why the inconsistencies, but they did say they increased the prices for lunch just recently. But the other differences were not price related. I also found the tables kinda sticky. Not sure how often these are cleaned. Everything else was fine. read more

Koba Grill - Tangy Spicy Chicken Bowl - Korean Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

My favorite chicken fried rice ever! We always get a chicken fried rice & a veggie fried rice & share both. The servings are big & lasts the 2 of us a few days for leftovers. Super delish- we order to go once a week. read more

I eat here about once a week for lunch. The food is consistently good. They also offer a egg flour soup at no charge with your lunch. The staff is VERY friendly and accommodating. I frequently exchange rice for all vegetables as I'm diabetic. They are always happy to make that change. The food arrives quickly and is always hot and freshly prepared. I highly recommend. read more

I LOVE what Yelp stands for, and I LOVE YELPERS! But YELP Customer Service, unfortunately disappoints me so often :( I had made a mistake of posting this under the Sherwood rather than the Tigard location. Upon discovering this, I emailed Yelp asking them to please transfer my review over so I do not have to re-write it, re-post pics, lose photo likes, and lose the UFC's associated with the review. I have seen reviews move location without being re-done. Instead, my entire review was deleted. Good thing I still have the pics as I have been clearing out my phone of pics already posted......So starting over..... The first time I came here, it was 5 stars! If I never came back, my review would have been a 5. But...I came 4 more times! I so wanted it to stay a 5. THE GOOD: All their soy is gluten free as are many of the dishes It's fast! Free egg foo soup (I forget the exact name) But the employees never once mention it, you have to notice it yourself near the silverware. I missed it the first couple times. They offer purple rice that's cooked to perfection! The first time we had the pork bulgogi it was so delicious! So tender, juicy and flavorful! The grilled onions in the dishes are delicious. The cooked veggies actually have some flavor unlike the ones up the road at Roxys. The NOT SO GOOD: The pork bulgogi was not good after the first time. Don't get me wrong, some pieces were, but too much of the dish was all fatty pieces, as much as a third! These aren't the tasty fatty meat pieces, their just fat, no meat. When I asked for no fatty pieces or at least less, I was told there weren't any, which was just silly. The chicken bulgogi doesn't have the fat pieces you find in the pork, but it's just OK. The first time I had it, I would say it was very good, not excellent like the pork before, but very good. The second time it wasn't very good, the flavor was not the same. It's so inconsistent here. The macaroni salad here tasted like what people buy in those huge boxes at Costco. The Roxy's mac salad up the road is super yummy, but Roxy's dishes are mostly not gluten free. The prices went up THREE times during my 4 visits! And we are not talking a quarter each time, but like 25% more between the first and last visit. I am so very sad, knowing the potential of this place. read more

I have found myself coming here more often than I thought I would. Had to go from 4 to 5 stars purely for the consistency in food quality. Can't speak to that as a whole, I only order the Sweet Chili Pad Thai, but it's been great every time. read more

While in the area, I decided to try this place because of the good reviews it's been getting. The space is nice, with ample seating and a big menu to choose from. I got a combo plate to go and picked the spicy pork and bulgogi. I also partake on the free self serve egg-drop soup (they even had to-go containers for it, which is a nice bonus). Unfortunately, the taste is just not there. Generally speaking, everything was bland which is especially bad considering Korean food is known for their bold flavors. The spicy pork was cut in small pieces, not like any other Korean restaurant's spicy pork I've seen. It was also dry and not spicy enough. The bulgogi is at least the same form I've always seen, but again, flavor is not there. Overall, it was a disappointing lunch for me and I would pick somewhere else from this shopping strip. read more

Sometimes you don't want the grill. I love me a good Korean bbq but let's be real here. I also have a three year old. So I need quicker and safer. I got the pork belly and bulgogi combo. Both were pretty darn delicious. They asked if I wanted onions. I love onions. Kind of them to ask. Unfortunately they were not uniformly cooked. So I had taco mouth at the end of my meal The Mac salad is awful. Like worse than out of a package awful. Do Koreans even eat Mac salad. The sad thing is that I'll bet I hate vegetables more than bad Mac salad. Oooh you know what would be awesome is those seasoned bean sprouts. Good amount of food for $12. Quite a delicious smoothie too for $3.50. I could come back. Not too regularly but it's on my radar. read more

Great service and good food. We've checked out the Sherwood location a few times, but it's nice having another location. They serve Mac salad and it's actually a plus for me (being a Hawai'i boy). The Spicy Pork Belly and Bulgogi is what we ordered and the plates were big enough to share with the kiddos. The Kim Chee Fried rice is usually my go to, but not tonight and it was a good choice. The pork belly was good, and the bulgogi wasn't bad at all. We ordered one with steamed veggies for the kids and it worked out great! FYI: they also have complimentary soup and black tea while you wait for your food, or with. read more

Koba Grill - Crispy Garlic Chicken with Mac Salad and Brown Rice - Korean Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Eh. Average. The black rice was maybe a 6th black rice mixed in with white rice. The "spicy miso" sauce was loaded with sugar and not spicy. The kimchee was ok. There was almost no pickled daikon. But they do pile on the protein. Especially with only take out, there is not much to recommend this place. read more

Got the beef yakisoba and was impressed with the amount of beef they put on. Most places will give as little protein as possible but the ratio was perfect. This is easily 2-3 meals worth of noodles, veggies and meat. The flavor was okay but it's not necessarily "to die for". Tastes mostly like allspice, but the amount of sauce was perfect. Nothing was too dry. But for the flavor I'd probably add teriyaki sauce next time. All my beef was lean and no fatty pieces, so that's a plus. Nice fresh veggies. 4/5 stars considering I was just craving yakisoba and went to the first place I could find it. It seems like a good deal for the amount you get and the quality of the cooking. Doesn't make my stomach hurt like most takeout does. read more

The missus thought this place was great. But hey, it's my review The staff was very friendly, the food came out lickety-split and the place was very clean. We ordered the pad thai which I thought was very bland. Luckily, they had their house sauce on the counter, which seemed to be what the noodle dish was missing. As mentioned, the missus really liked it here, so we'll definitely be back. But it'll be on her request, not mine. read more

Koba Grill - Korean Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

This is a very nice addition to the Whole Foods shopping center on Scholls Ferry. Nice atmosphere, free egg drop soup that is really dang good, and quality ingredients. My youngest had beef bulgogi and loved it. Good portion size too. He can practically eat an adult portion anyway. My wife had the adult portion with black rice and veggies. Quality veg too, none of this boiled to death cabbage that gets served at other places. I got pork belly with a nice chili oil spicy sauce. The cuts were a bit tough and ate more like chop than belly, but heck I've got to have something to say that isn't slobbering and sycophantic praise. I guess. We'll be back. read more
