We went here for dinner with a large team of 30 people. They sectioned off a part of the restaurant for us and had happy hour style appetizers and drinks followed by an outstanding family style sit down dinner with a semi-customized tasting menu (including very thoughtful accommodations for some folks with dietary restrictions). The food was outstanding, every single dish had so much thought and care that went into it, the service was exceptional, and overall it was a very memorable evening. My absolute favorites were the Galbi Ssam and the Scallop Crudo which were both the best versions of the dish I've had in a very long time. Very highly recommended if you're looking for a special dinner in Portland.

Amazing ambiance and delicious food! We decided to order Al la carte because we honestly didn't want the crudo or the dessert nor did we like the meat selections listed. The soy garlic wings and mandu were amazing, crispy, and full of flavor. For the ssam, we ordered the beef sausage, rib eye, and skirt - all cooked and seasoned to perfection. The selection of sauces on the side were great as well! My favorite part was the Jolly Kick Negroni (I ordered seconds!) and the chicken wings.

Would give it six stars if I was able to. Absolutely wonderful dining experience on a Saturday evening sitting at the chef's counter. Great service from a wonderful knowledgeable waitress who had great support from the team; dishes were delivered by several different team members. Every dish we ordered was great. Highlights were the ddukbokki, the ssam add on to the two beef and ham dishes we ordered, the cabbage with pastrami, and the meringue dessert. This was a fresh new dining experience for us.

Amazing New Years Eve Dinner !! 4 course meal - Banchan , starters, steakhouse , desert A few notable callouts Banchan - The egg custard was delectable a little sweet with the crunchy puffed rice did it Starters - the beef tartare was delicious - especially with the Asian pear Steakhouse - the grilled pork chops were delectable Desert - the pistachio cream brought it home

Came here for dinner at 7pm on a Saturday night. We were 15 mins early and were seated immediately. Service, Food, and ambiance are all very good. Will definitely come back. Aside from the Tasting Menu, we ordered their Denver Steak - this is same as we got from the Chef's Tasting Menu. 5/5. We also had the Ddukbuki - nothing Korean about the sauce, but still very good: 5/5.

Loved it! Great spread of food, amazing flavors and just an overall unique dining experience. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a fancier than average night out. V Service was good and dining room is cozy.

First time here and it was definitely a success. The location was very accessible and had a parking lot which was nice. We did the chef's tasting menu and it was a great way to try a lot of things. The banchan were delicious and the crudo was a standout. The ssam was a super fun menu item to try and the proteins were all very good. Dessert was also incredible. Everything was very shareable and they told us that for desserts, you get one per every two people so since we had three, we lucked out and got two which was nice! Also ordered a peaches and cream sundae which was tasty as well.

Can't wait to go back and try more. The mandu was fabulous. Honestly though, the tomato cucumber banchan with the whipped ricotta was so freaking good. The Brutus salad was perfect. Can't wait to go back and do the chefs tasting menu. Well done!

We recently discovered a hidden gem in Portland serving a delightful blend of Korean and American cuisine. Visiting for the weekend, we were lucky to snag one of the last Saturday night reservations via OpenTable. Though we didn't realize it was a prix-fixe menu until we arrived, the portions and selections were outstanding--exactly what we were hoping for. The ambiance is perfect for date nights or a girls' night out, with a cozy dining room, an open kitchen, and a small bar for counter seating. We noticed a few couples dining with their babies, but overall, it feels like a charming spot for adults to enjoy a night out. My only gripe is that we asked the hostess if we could get another table close to the glass door and she told us it was reserved for a special occasion. There were 8 other empty tables of 2 and she could've tried to accomodate us in any of those others away from the one we obviously didn't want to sit at, but she matter a factly walked away. This always sets the tone for guests and although we thoroughly enjoyed the food, this is something that could be worked on. The only real choices you'll make are from their impressive selection of sakes and wines, plus deciding whether to add sides--but don't miss the fried chicken! It might just be the best I've ever had. The pan-fried mandoo (dumplings), included in the prix-fixe, were absolutely divine, and the peach dessert was the perfect sweet finish to the meal. If you're in Portland, this spot is a must-visit!!

We've been bummed that Han Oak folks had decided to close down Toki. We had made it our mission to always eat there whenever we traveled to PDX. But nevertheless, the world goes on and so must we. I've been curious about Jeju, their latest addition to the PDX eatery scene. Reservations were luckily not difficult to get a few weeks or days in advance. Super laid back ambiance with picnic tables and cute linoleum table coverings - walking in you'd feel as if you'd been invited to a friend's cozy backyard party. Like Toki, the banchan offerings at Jeju blew our mind away dish after dish. Each plate was crafted with such care and modern twists on classic Korean side dishes. I mean, who knew that hazelnut cream could complement roasted zucchini? The sweet and mildly spicy gochugaru seed brittle brought a surprising and fun texture to the zucchini. I also love the comforting flavors of egg drop and roe dashi... I could eat that every day! The staff was also gracious letting us know that we were more than welcome to repeat any of these dishes. Following our banchan adventures, the main course of ssam wraps was an act of utter indulgence and creativity. Starting off with a base of mildly fragrant shiso leaf, you'd sprinkle a bit of that buttered crispy rice, layer some sausage slices, topped with pickled onions, and finishing with a dab of gochujang sauce - and voila a ssam quickly came to fruition. The flavors deep and complex while the crispy rice and sliced meat provided extra textures. After countless wraps we held our belly and quickly entered food coma. I then realized we still have desserts to complete! And the final course of desserts did not miss a beat either. It consisted of an airy meringue cake layered over a bed of light cinnamon chocolate mascarpone mousse and fruits. Pure decadence to finish the night. Highly recommend checking out Jeju, as chef Peter Cho has mastered the art of elevating modern Korean cuisine so effortlessly. Can't wait to come back next time!
