one of the better korean barbecue places that i have been to! quality was of high standard and exceeded my expectations. we ordered the combo to share, which was plenty. service was also very polite and courteous, making sure to change our grill as needed and check in frequently. the space was very polished, modern, and clean which was absolutely great. looking forward to seeing them grow and set a new standard for kbbq -- while there isnt ayce, it is still well worth it. read more

You can go all you can eat and have lots of food thats a mixed bag in terms of quality. Or you can come to Goong, pay roughly the same price get a very healthy dosage of protein, all the rice and lettuce you want as well as the side dishes and still walk away quite full. we tried the combo B and felt the portions were fairly generous. What I most appreciate is the ventilation system... which won't leave your clothes smelling of your meal. Certainly there are time for AYCE, but if it's quality you want, I'd consider here. I wish the banchan had a better mix, other than that, it's quite solid. read more

Goong KBBQ - Corn Cheese / 콘치즈 - Korean Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

See all

Environment: Nice area and huge booths for large parties. Even though we had bbq, we didn't smell like Korean meat afterwards! Staff: very friendly and attentive. For example, we needed an extra tong and he got us one without even asking. Food: My friends and I shared a combo B dish. It was on the pricier side but there were lots of fresh meat and we were all full from it. It was good quality and it came with nice banchan, corn, and soup. Everything was very good but my favorite ones were the non marinated ones because I liked the sauces that they gave us. I enjoyed it. I really liked it and I wish I can go during the weekday for their lunch special....maybe one day! They also have entrees too which I want to try one day! read more

We came here for the lunch specials (under $20!) on a Friday so I can't speak for their KBBQ. They have a nice looking bar and quite a few KBBQ tables. Service was friendly although there is a slight confusion on their closing time for the midday break. On their website it said closes at 2:30pm but the waiter told us it closed at 2pm but to take our time and no rush (we came around 1pm)? Anyway, we got a steamed egg to share - it's nothing special and they definitely up charge for it. I got the grilled mackerel lunch special which came with soup, 3 banchans, and bowl of rice. My friend got the beef bibimbap that came with the same sides. We both enjoyed our meals and left full and satisfied. Totally worth it for the quality but I can't wait to come back for the KBBQ experience! read more

The food tasted off, especially the beef. There was a chemical-like taste on the meat. And the sauce marinated into the bulgogi meat is different than the other restaurants. The batter the pancakes were too thick and not enough seafood. The noodles portions were very small and making the price point not reasonable. The noodles were quite hot and it was served in a plastic plate. The side dishes were good. The place itself is new, clean and spacious. Customer service is superb. It's part of a busy strip mall with parking. But parking does fill up and may need to park a bit further out. read more

This establishment is exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff members are genuinely friendly, attentive, and eager to help, making sure you have a wonderful dining experience. The BBQ meats are freshly prepared and expertly marinated, offering flavorful and tender dishes that are simply delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to others. After discovering this place, we've decided to skip the all-you-can-eat buffet at Yo Ho Yo. While the prices are a bit higher than usual, the quality and overall experience definitely make it worthwhile. read more

We came into Goong KBBQ an hour before closing, despite that the workers there did not seem down or angry at all! They were super welcoming and made the experience so good! The food was delicious and came very quickly, they had many options to choose from and the refillable banchan was awesome! The place itself was clean and felt homey, I would definitely come again! read more

Goong KBBQ - Kbbq - Korean Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Great service, like beyond. Our server was so incredibly kind and patient with us explaining the menu options and then helping us cook our food since it was our first visit. The ambiance was relatively quiet when we arrived. Other tables were seated but because of how they are spaced out or maybe because of where we were seated, we didn't hear too much other conversation going on. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. Okay back to the food. We ordered a lot for two people but this was our only meal of the day so we really went for it and got all the things! Everything was fresh and tasted incredible and yes, we over ordered and were totally stuffed when we left but it was absolutely worth it. :) read more

We just ate here (Friday night) and I had to leave a review right away because we were blown away! The man serving us was super kind and attentive--amazing customer service. The food was delicious as well, price is on par with other Korean restaurants in the area. We enjoyed all of our food and side dishes as well, and will definitely return again! If you're in the Forest Grove area there aren't any Korean restaurants there, luckily this place is only 15 minutes away and will be my go-to spot from now on :) read more

If I was rating this place off of strictly the cleanliness and staff it would receive 5 stars easily. Unfortunately, a lot more goes into it, and I felt a two review was better suited for the entirety of the experience. First and foremost the combo we ordered was 90 dollars, and was meant to feed 2-3 people. It was just 2 of us, so we assumed it would be more than enough. Oddly enough, it felt like there was hardly any meat, and that they were trying to fill you up on banchan (side dishes) so it feels as though you get your moneys worth. But, there are two spots in Beaverton that do all you can eat, have large portions and the AYCE includes salad, rice and side dishes. They give you butter to start but then do grill changes way too often and never offer butter after the first time they bring everything out. So it seems silly and unnecessary to bring it to begin with, but also I don't understand why they changed the grill three or four times for us. It was overkill. They also drop the smoke/heat chute down and it's literally a foot from the grill, so while you're cooking it's not only in your way physically but it also blocks the view of the people you're eating with. You can see it in the photo of the grill I included! The brisket was good quality, the pork belly was standard but both the bulgogi's were gross. They lacked flavor and had a very fatty and fibrous texture which made it feel like you had to chew forever to eat it. Also, you get two thin slices of squash and three thin slices of mushroom... at that point don't bother putting the veggies on the plate, it's a joke. I really wanted to like this place because it's so close to me and I LOVE Korean bbq... I hope it gets better and they either lower their prices or give you a little more bang for your buck. I'd rather drive the twenty five minutes and get AYCE and save my money. read more

Came to try their KBBQ Combo B set and there was a mix of good and meh stuffs. The Steamed Egg was SO salty, something was very off there. Soybean Soup was decent but very small portion for four people. Banchans were fresh and there was a good variety but most of them weren't very flavorful...The first batch of lettuce they gave us there was like four leaves and we had to pay extra for another batch. That's not great. Now to the meat. The combo did give us a nice array of different cuts of both beef and pork. We enjoyed all of them, especially the Kalbi and the Spicy Pork. The portion of the meat was good, not too little but also you won't be rolling out of the place. Service was still new. Water wasn't filled very often and we have to work hard to get the staffs attention. Overall not a bad spot by any means just not worth traveling for for me. read more

omygoodness! Quality is of the most importance here! i had lunch with my two sons and we opted for the meat lovers kbbq- all was absolutely outstanding! the meats were well marbled and oh so tender. We also ordered the raw kimchi crab which was oh so yummy! Portion size was on point, banchan was delish as we ordered it 2x, our waiter was well versed with the menu and we left feeling full and satisfied! Can't wait to return read more

New place that opened up about a month ago. I'm just visiting the area and I had two friends tell me a new place opened up so had to check it out. Service was great! We had a Korean server who spoke mandarin too since he worked in Shanghai for a few years. He was very nice and attentive to the group. I appreciated the kids plate, utensils, and side dishes they brought out. I've never seen any other Korean place have special kids side dishes. Our server was also patient as we took a while to decide on the order and also had a few spills to clean up. Food was a mix of good and ok but nice to see their menu had a wide variety. I saw online menu had raw marinated crab but couldn't find it on the menu in the restaurant. I'll rate each dish I tried below. Overall, definitely would recommend others to come check it out for the food and service. TTEOKBOKKI $15 (4/5) : solid dish and had a good level of spice. Rice cakes cooked well so they were pillowy and soft. HAEMUL PAJEON $18 (5/5) : Highly recommend this one. Extra crispy and enjoyed their mix of seafood SPICY CHICKEN $23 (2/5) : very disappointed with this dish since I was expecting the Korean fried chicken I'm used to with a good kick. This tasted like Chinese sweet and sour pork flavor which I don't like, and it was soggy! Not even a bit of crisp in it. GAMJATANG $20 (4/5) : another solid dish. Just wish the potatoes were a little more cooked and smaller pieces so they're soft and melt into the soup. I had a very hard time breaking up the massively large potato. Soup flavor was delicious. read more

My wife and I were very impressed when we dined here. We shared the beef combination. We had plenty, and we took a sizable box home for lunch the next day. All the meats were perfectly marinated. We asked for garlic to roast on the barbecue with everything else. The grill surface was hot as hot as other Korean BBQ we have tried, but that just made the job easier I think. No refills in the iced tea, so watch for that; catering to customers who are not afraid to spend the $$$s for a dining experience is fine, but nickeling and dining over something as cheap as iced tea or lettuce leaves seems silly. The samjang sauce was good, but it lacked the character of homemade. My wife really enjoyed the fish cake, and I loved the sprout salad and the hearty soup. We will definitely be back to try at least one a-la-carte specialty short rib next time we also want to check out some of the pork options. We will also remember to order more garlic. read more

A friend once told us that some of the best Korean dishes he had were at KBBQ restaurants! He explained that since the restaurant has to use cuts of meat all the time, the remaining portions were great for non-BBQ dishes. After our visit to Goong, that makes sense! We had the: - Galbi Egeoji Tang - Bossam - Soondae Guk The broth for both the galbi tang and soondae gook was so flavorful, and the meat fell off easily from the short rib. Next time you're at a KBBQ restaurant, go against the grain and try their non-BBQ dishes too! read more

A solid place for some kbbq out in the Hillsboro area. The place is newer and the inside is nice and clean. The service is nice and attentive. We ordered ala carte (can be a bit on the spendier side) and got the meats we wanted to try. I believe the pyun galbi was our favorite. Overall, worth checking out. read more

Spur-of-the-Moment Gem! Stopped by this Korean BBQ spot on a whim with my eight-year-old son, and wow--what a surprise! He started off calling the food "weird," but by the end of the meal, there wasn't a single thing left on the table. He went back for seconds and thirds, and I had to hit pause on my own appetite just to enjoy watching how much he was enjoying everything. The food was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and fun to eat--perfect for sharing and trying new things together. The staff was friendly and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, even for a first-timer like my son. We're definitely coming back, and if you go, bring your appetite. You won't leave hungry! read more

Visited this spot for a date with my girlfriend. There is no AYCE option, so you can order specific combinations or individual a la carte options from their menu. We ordered one portion of Galbi (Short Rib), one portion of Maeun Dwaeji (Spicy Pork Bulgogi), and an additional side of corn cheese. Our server, Seulki, assured us that it would be plenty enough to feed our party of two. I was skeptical about that claim until I saw him actually bring out the massive plate with our meats. While we normally cook the meat ourselves, Seulki offered to cook the meat for us (Likely due to it being a slow time of day for them). We accepted his generous offer. The Galbi was definitely the star of the show. The Maeun Dwaeji wasn't as spicy as I usually like, but this meant my girlfriend could actually enjoy it without having to down too much water. The corn cheese was solid, albeit next time I'd like to see if left in the broiler a bit longer to get some color/caramelization on top. Banchan/ Side dish portions were also generous overall. I'd say the food is a 4.3/5 stars, but the Seulki's service was so excellent I had to give a total of 5 stars. Also as a side note this is one of the few kbbq places in the Portland area that actually has ventilation hoods that can be manually moved closer to the grill, which reduces the amount of smoke on your eyes and on your clothes. It's a nice extra bit of thoughtfulness and planning. read more

Very good kbbq spot ! Great meat, side dishes, friendly staff, would definitely come back!

Our family of 5 ordered with meat lovers plate. It came with so many fun sides to try, plenty of rice and lots of tasty cuts of meat.
