We stumbled on this one the way home from Portland. It was so good, welcoming and warming. We will absolutely be coming back. The food was awesome and delicious. We both got stone bowl bibimbap and man did is hit all the right notes. We went when it was cold and I will absolutely be craving this again when it starts getting chilly!! read more

How lucky I am that Salem has a great spot for Korean cuisine. With my kid in university here, I will be visiting town a lot, and this will be a regular restaurant for us. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, and the service is very friendly and fast. My daughter and I ordered a bulgogi tray and a bibimbap, respectively, and we were both very happy with our meals. There is street parking as well as a smallish parking lot, and plenty of seating inside. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere. The staff are lovely and work super hard. Great price and delicious

Excellent Korean food. Staff is very friendly and attentive. When you walk in you can sense they have authentic Korean food. There are plenty of tables inside, and when we went at 7:30pm they seated us right away. I ordered the bibimbap with beef, and then the bulgogi & bibimbap. Both were really flavorful, and delicious. It was a good amount of food overall, I just wish there was more beef because it felt like there was very little. They even gave us complimentary appetizer and watermelon at the end. You truly can't go wrong eating here, highly recommend. read more

Happy Bibimbap House - Korean Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Food and service are great! All the food we tried on our two visits was excellent. We will be back the next time we are in the area!

Food is always delicious, and the side dishes you get served are amazing and something I always look forward to. The staff are the sweetest too. I enjoy dining or getting takeout from here so much, its delicious, they leave cute little messages on your to-go boxes (and still serve the banchan dishes). This is my favorite restaurant in salem, the food is so comforting and its always a great experience. read more

Hidden gem! I stopped by this place after a long drive from California, and the food just hits the soul. The staff and owner were warm and attentive, and it felt like I was walking into my parent's or relative's home for dinner. I got the combo soondoboo and boiled mackerel, and my girlfriend got the samgyetang (chicken soup). I love mackerel for its rich and fatty taste, and it did not disappoint. The outside was crispy, while the inside was moist and soft. Just be careful eating if you are not used to eating fish with bones growing up. Soondoboo goes well with it to cut the fat, and the flavor and mild spice really helps to pick you up after a long day. I tried some of the chicken soup, and it is one of the best ones I had. I do not find many places that make this, but when I do, I have to try it. I believe this version uses a cornish hen, which is richer and more delicate (tender when cooked) compared to chicken. The ginger and herbs give it earthiness, and the jujube adds a bit of sweetness. Overall, it is a complex and savory soup that you have to try. Also, the owner supports and feeds the homeless. How awesome is that! Wish I could give this place more stars, and I definitely will be back in the future. read more

Happy Bibimbap house is great!! We came with friends and were greeted at the door by the owner with a big smile, the staff was so friendly! It's a nice, casual restaurant with some booths, tables with chairs and a bit of outside seating. There is a small parking lot next to the restaurant. The food tasted so fresh and amazing, their kimchi is delicious. I got the Dolsot Bibimbap with chicken, the flavor was delicious and I loved the crispy rice! Great prices and portion sizes! Highly reccomend supporting this business read more

Happy Bibimbap House - Dolsot Bibimbap (chicken) - Korean Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Came across this place while looking for local favorites, I wanted to support them since I saw a review that they are family owned and that they close once a week to feed the homeless. Upon arriving, it felt like stepping into someone's home. My husband and I both ordered the beef dolsot bibimbap and barley tea. The bibimbap was perfectly portioned, and served sizzling hot. You get to adjust the gochujang which I think a lot of people appreciate. The radish kimchi pairs so well with the bibimbap! Service was good too even though the place was almost packed. Definitely will be coming back :) PS there's parking right in front of the restaurant with a meter nearby. read more

I was very impressed by this place. I ordered it for lunch today through Uber and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to go back for dinner! For lunch I ordered the Bulgogi combo plate so that I could try a couple things there. Now I don't know if this is how they normally deliver their takeout orders but it definitely elevated my first impression. See attached photo. My order came with Pajeon or Korean scallion pancakes. I am half Korean and my mom made different variations of Korean pancakes a lot when I was younger and I really like them. They are basic but I still love them so I was really happy to see them included because there was no indication of that on Uber Eats. Another thing I did not see on the app was the mandu / gyoza and it was very good. Again, a wonderful bonus for me. They also included banchan, I got cabbage, kimchi, shredded radish kimchi, and bean sprouts, which were all very good. The kimchi was especially yummy, some of the best I've had from a restaurant. I prefer fresher kimchi as opposed to sour and this was not sour at all so this might not be to everyone's liking but I ate every bit of it. The Bulgogi was not tough at all and had great flavor and was not overrun by vegetables like you'd see in some places. So fast-forward to dinner time, I decide to drive out there myself and get it to go. I noticed the outdoor seating and It was a nice evening so I chose to eat outside on one of the picnic tables. It was a perfect place to get my work done while enjoying some great food. I was the only person sitting outside and they still came to check on me a few times and made sure everything was good. Just like this afternoon, all of the food was amazing. This time I ordered the kalbi combo plate. As you can see, I started eating before I took the picture and I didn't even include the banchan. It was that good! I did get different side dishes this time. They gave me cauliflower in a white sauce, brussels sprouts, in a mildly sweet brown sauce, cabbage kimchi, and cucumber kimchi. Everything was great, but I wasn't a huge fan of the cucumber kimchi. Mostly because I prefer my cucumber kimchi more salty and this one was sweet, so it might be something that you really like, it's just not my preference. They also offered me Korean pancakes before my meal came! The kalbi was awesome. For anyone who has ordered this a few times you know it sometimes can be very chewy and tough. Not here, it was tender and perfectly seasoned. After I was done eating and they cleared my plates, they brought out a plate with a slice of watermelon on it. These little touches make a big difference for me, especially since I eat at Korean restaurants a lot. I will definitely be stopping again on my next trip out here!! I forgot to mention how nice the staff was. I mostly talked with two gentleman and they were both very polite and patient. The one who took my payment when I first came in to order is the one who ended up serving me when I decided to eat there. read more

A great hidden gem in downtown Salem. The food is amazing and the menu has good variety. I almost always end up with the Happy Bibimbap Bowl because it is not like anything I have found anywhere else in town. They are close to the Capitol building so they get busy at lunch and the space isn't huge, but it is totally worth the wait if you have one. read more

I need to try their bibimbap I had their Jjam-Jja-Myeon which was dished perfectly but I feel like the flavor lacked I will add stars once I try the specialty dish bibimbap . I didn't know enjoy their ambiance because I got the order to go . Indeed was a short wait time even though they were busy . I thought the price was fair and the sushi was good . For 20$ I got a lot of food read more

Decided to try some Korean food while passing through Salem and I'm so glad I did! I came shortly after opening and there were a few people there and was greeted and sat by the window where I could gaze and contemplate. I ordered the Bul Go Gi & Dolsot Bibimbop and it was truly an experience. The banchan was so flavorful and I even got a little scallion pancake appetizer on the house. As the clock approached 12 more and more people started to come. Quickly turning from a little hole in the wall to a bustling thriving spot. If I'm being honest I had low hopes of finding good Korean food in Oregon let alone Salem but I have been astonished by the quality and flavors I have experienced here. I even got a little orange slice with an umbrella after my meal. I know have found a reason to come back to Salem again and it's all due to Happy Bibimbap House. read more

This place is amazing for a number of reasons. The food is great but I'm not super knowledgable about Korean food, so I'll focus on how outstandingly kid-friendly it is. Everyone there is wonderful and welcoming, the food always comes out instantly, the cozy booths are perfect for families, and the surprise serving of fruit afterwards is the greatest way to ensure little ones stay happy right thru to the end. Also there are many GF options. Plus the owners are devoted to serving the homeless community. Couldn't love this place more! read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. We ordered the mackerel, bibimbap with beef, seafood pancake, kalbi, galbitang, Japchae, and everything was delicious! Staff were friendly and even the owner comes out to check on us (and other customers) to see if everything is ok. The ambiance is really nice too, it gives you a feeling of eating at an authentic Korean restaurant. It was so delicious we decided to order for take out as well. We would definitely go back if we're ever in the area again! read more

Happy Bibimbap House - A variety of different items from the menu for take-out - Korean Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Honestly, this is the best Korean food I've ever had in my life; traveling all around California, especially downtown LA. I would've never thought the best Korean food I've ever eaten in my life was gonna be in Salem Oregon.. Everything was super delicious We went with a group of four and had a pretty good idea what the menu was like a complementary watermelon and appetizer was really kind. Honestly, the best Kimchi I've ever had you need to try this place!!! The service was great, the waiters were kind and quick. read more

3.5 stars for the food, they gave you lots of chicken for the fried chicken plate, great price for the amount of food you get. It would be better if there were more seafood for the seafood pancakes, just some baby shrimp sprinkled on top of the thin slices of pancakes. Anyway, good price and nice service. read more

OMG! The food was great as usual. I don't want to get anyone in trouble but the first waitress we had could maybe use a little help with her customer service skills. Even just a smile goes a long ways. I know it's a difficult job but we didn't feel like we were welcomed. She gave us what we asked for and got the orders right, I guess I would have liked just a little enthusiasm. She took our order but then a young man finished up and he was very nice. All the food was delicious .. I hate writing this. read more

You'd think a restaurant that offers Korean AND Chinese AND Japanese food would be a jack of all trades mediocre restaurant catering to those seeking "exotic oriental" flavors. But NO!! It's actually pretty good. We had the bibimbap and spicy tofu stew and they were spot on. Their banchan was good too. Service? How about free Korean pancakes! We like it! read more

I got tofu soup and was pleasantly surprised by the quality considering the area. It was pretty good and the price was not bad. A thing I found unique too was that I have never seen brussel sprouts as a side dish at a Korean restaurant but they were surprisingly well flavored and tasty. read more

The Soon Doo Boo Jigae with pork was the perfect winter dish. Savory and spicy with steamed rice on the side was just the ticket for my slightly buzzed body. I felt like a king when I was treated to some unexpected sides of kimchi, bean sprouts, and slices of scallion pancake. As I wrote this, I also received a complimentary sliced orange as a dessert. Great ambiance for a casual sit in, I can't recommend enough. read more

The dishes we ordered has very little beef and chicken. A few pieces of chicken that we got were extremely dry and the ground beef was tasteless. We expected to have real sliced rib eye. The service was slow. The ambiance was dreary. We would not come back. Don't skimp out on the meats please! read more

There aren't a lot of Korean restaurants in Salem to compare this place to, but I've been to enough out in LA to tell you that this place is a gem. Great food at reasonable prices. I love that you get a scallion pancake slice as an appetizer and watermelon for dessert. The servers are prompt and friendly. The owner, when she's there, comes and greets all the tables. The place is simple, more like a diner feel than a full-on Korean restaurant. I would recommend the stone pot bibimbap with beef. So many veggies in one bowl, but it doesn't turn me off like some other veggie-prominent dishes. read more

Dogs and Vegetarians welcomed. Very friendly owners/staff. Flavorful veggie options and unique banchan offerings (the little dishes that come with Korean meals). We were passing through Salem, had our dogs and it was raining so we were totally planning to order takeout and eat in our car. But they were so nice to serve us on their patio tables which they somehow manage to keep dry. Being used to bundling up and being outside in weather, we were very grateful to be able to enjoy a real meal. read more

Absolutely delicious food. Many vegan options, and a huge menu. We were a party of 5 and everything was cooked to perfection. Sushi roll was excellent as well. read more
