Is this the first official Korean restaurant meateats review?!?!?!  Weird.

If you haven’t eaten Korean food yet, I highly suggest going to this place right away! You are missing out!

What we ordered: To make the meat on the table grill you have to order at least two different meats.  We got the beef brisket and the spicy pork. We also love mackeral.  We always order mackeral when we eat at a Korean restarant.

How we ordered:  Pretty much as is.  Korean food is TOTALLY Paleo except for the rice!  LOVE IT!

What we got:

Spicy pork and thin sliced beef brisket

Pike? Mackeral - the cheaper one

Typical spread at a Korean restaurant

The small dishes of marinated vegetables are called “Banchan”. Korean meals always have Banchan with every meal.  At any Korean restaurant you will get Banchan with whatever you order.  At this restaurant we got abut 6 or 7 different dishes.  The amount varies between restaurants and they usually give you free refills!

Meat cooking on the Grill

Cost: Beef brisket – $15, Spicy Pork – $18.  Mackeral – $12

Quality: Great! The thin slices of raw meat quickly cook on the grill.  They provide a sesame oil and salt dipping sauce for the meat that is sooo good!

Quantity:  It doesn’t look like a lot of meat, but it was A LOT of meat!  Hands down Korean food is still my favorite!

MEAT-O-METER says!

Korean restaurants are for the most part a win win situation.  You get a ton of food with HUGE flavor.  It’s hard to mess up the marinated vegetables.  It’s the little things that will make the restaurant awesome.  This one was pretty good, better than OK on our radar.  We went to a 24 hour Korean restaurant in Chicago and it was sooooo good!  If you’re in a big city with a large Asian population, the Korean restaurant will mostly like be a solid choice!  They can get a bit pricey, but it’s so tastey and good!  There are 2 in Beaverton that are OK too, New Seoul Restaurant and Korean Restaurant near Beaverton Hillsdale Highway and I-217.  I’ll try to get their review up asap.  But in the mean time, just go check one out!
