    Topokki Katsu
    Austin N.

    We went here on a Saturday afternoon and were expecting a long wait based on previous reviews but we were seated promptly upon arrival. We were seated at the table near the door but it still felt quite cramped and it was difficult to pull out the chair to be able to sit. Service was quick and efficient but our interaction didn't feel very personable. I've had my fair share of Japanese katsu so I was intrigued on how Korean katsu would compare. The katsu was a lot flatter but the pork they used still delivered a juicy and tender bite. The rice cakes also had a nice chewy texture to complement the katsu. It did have a decent amount of spice but I was able to still enjoy it. I appreciated how the katsu was served as a complete meal with a variety of sides that justifies the price point.

    We stopped in on a busy Saturday around dinner time and were seated immediately. It was pretty full though, so there may be a wait on weekends. The service was attentive and they answered any questions we had about the menu. They start everyone out with a little house pancake for free, which is such a nice touch. We all absolutely loved it. It was sweet and kind of savory and just delicious. My daughter and I went with the Assorted Katsu set. I love a big tray full of options! The miso soup was good and we all really enjoyed the kimchi, both radish and cabbage. I also liked the cabbage salad but would have preferred the option to make my own salad dressing. My favorite katsu was the shrimp and I would probably just get that next time. It was light and crunchy and I loved it with the tartar sauce. I also enjoyed the pork with the katsu sauce. I wanted to love the cheese but it was super sized, it was even too heavy for my chopsticks. I wish it was about half the size so it was more crispy and melty. My husband had udon with katsu which he enjoyed. I do love that they offer lots of options and even a giant king sized katsu which a lot of people seemed to order. This is worth a try if you're in the area. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!

    My son suggested we try this place after seeing it on TikTok. I read the reviews and was excited to check it out. The space was much smaller and tighter than I expected. The service also felt rushed even though the restaurant was not busy. It may just be the way the manager works, but it felt quick and a little abrupt. When our bibimbap came out, she immediately explained how to mix it rather than asking if we had any questions about the dish, which felt a bit rushed to me. The food was good, as expected, but nothing out of the ordinary. When you grow up eating katsu, you naturally become more critical of it. It was good, but I would not say it was the best I have ever had. The staff were very friendly though, and very attentive about refilling water just like many reviews mentioned. The sides were good as well. Overall the food was good, but not something that would make me rush back unless I was specifically craving katsu. If you have never had katsu before, this would be a great place to try it. I would give the food 5 stars, but -2 stars for the points I mentioned. Side note: many reviews said you have to order at the counter, but they actually took our order at the table. We went on a Saturday around 2 pm.

    Crispy katsu and pretty big portions! Wish the sides were just a tad bigger because I ran out of katsu sauce quickly. Service was great! Our server was new I think but she was so attentive and nice. The environment felt very casual.

    Came in after 1pm on a Sunday, the restaurant was less than half full. We were seated quickly, the restaurant still has resemblence of the previous Korean restaurant, with some new fixtures, signs, and displays. The tables were a bit squeezed, so the place felt a bit cramped. Menu is pretty straight forward and we ordered a three different items for the three of us. The portions are pretty big, and all of the katsu were fried to perfection. Overall the food are delicious, the sides pair well with the katsu, the curry is also delicious. It was a bit odd to be presented with the check immediately after ordering, hard to know what the service is like and tipping first. All in all, good food, and we will likely be back again.

    King Don Katsu
    Christian-Immanuel C.

    Located in a complex with plenty of parking space. When you enter, there's plenty of seating and you get this upbeat vibe from the K-Pop music. This place is still fairly new from what I was told so when I came, they had me sit down, order, and pay all in one go before my food came out. Personally, would prefer to do that after that way I may tip accordingly rather than prior. But to digress, now I wish I tipped more because the service was great. They made sure to constantly check in with me throughout my meal. They were super friendly and answered any questions I had. I got the King Don Katsu and it had so much crunch to it that it got pretty messy. There was panko everywhere and I felt bad as I was eating the dish. The dipping sauce was warmed up and had a savory, tangy taste which had me using up almost all the sauce. It was nice that it also came with soup, salad, pickled veggies, and rice. I wish the portioning for the sides matched the size of the Katsu because I ran out of a lot of it before making it through the whole dish. Overall a really great experience and would definitely come back and try the other dishes whenever I'm in town.

    Curry Udon Katsu
    Amanda L.

    This place is incredible! The staff are also soo friendly! They seat you at a table and then you order at the counter when you're ready. The rest is full service so they'll bring the food out and check on you. The Katsu, the best. The curry was very tasty. If you get the curry Udon, definitely get extra curry on the side We have dined in and ordered take out. Our orders came out quick! The take out order was packaged very well and was done in only 10- 15 minutes! Everything here is super fresh and it's probably the best Katsu you are going to get in the area. Definitely some of the best I've had. The meat is very flavorful and tender. The only thing bad I can say is that the seating is a bit cramped. This place does get busy but I didnt have to wait for a table during dinner time which was nice but the tables are very close together.

    Katsu Curry Udon

    Came here with friends and we had a lovely time! The katsu was the perfect amount of crispy texture and the cabbage salad added a nice and refreshing mix-up to the meal. I personally got the shrimp curry katsu udon and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The curry wasn't that salty and the udon was just the right texture. I do wish that the portion size of the shrimp katsu was bigger because it wasn't that filling but the other dishes offered that my friends got did seem more filling. You order at the counter and service was pretty attentive.

    A pretty neat place that serves katsu dishes along with some other Korean style dishes. The prices are reasonable with a healthy portion. I tried the Katsu Curry Udon as I was curious about that dish. The katsu was prepared well with a crispy exterior texture and the interior was nice and moist. I did enjoy the dish and look forward to trying some of the other items next time. The service was also friendly and quick.

    Curry Udon Katsu
    Andy V.

    I've been eying this place for a while but after being not too sure what to eat we ended up going here! It was a great idea as the katsu was amazing! I'm a big fan of curry udon especially after having it at Marugame Udon and this place made it just as good as Marugame did! The katsu also paired wonderfully with the Curry Udon and the side dishes were a nice touch! The service was a little weird as it was a get seated but order at the front, but the employees were very nice and made sure we understood how the system worked. I will definitely be coming back again to try their cheese katsu!

    Andrew P.

    It starts with the Katsu just perfectly crisp on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside - i could not get enough!! The portions are huge and comes with different sides , of which, the soup absolutely stole the show - looked plain but tasted amazing . Do not sleep on the salad either The service is so pleasant and they are also very efficient Will be back for more !!

    Environment: This used to be Koba Grill but now it's this! There are lots of tables and it had lots of bright lights and kpop MVs as I was there. Food: I ordered their original katsu plate and paid a little bit more for their cold soba. The cold soba was very good and it was bouncy. To my surprise it was not that salty (you usually dip it in). The katsu was a good portion and it was fried nicely. They were nice thick slices but was on the bland side. That's why they provided salt and katsu sauce for you on the side. It also had daikon radish and kimchi, too. We went right when it opened so there was no line but when we finished eating, it was fully packed.

    Assorted Katsu
    Keely L.

    Had to try this new katsu place out since there aren't that many in the Portland area. We ordered the assorted katsu & the katsu curry udon. The katsu was nice & crispy and service was great. Our water was always filled and we were seated immediately when we arrived. They played K-pop music videos on a giant TV which was a vibe. Overall we liked it and would come back!

    Katsu was not very good, it tasted like if chicken was boiled then breaded and fried. I can't imagine going back, everything was indipid.

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.
