The food is a little underwhelming. Prices are a little high but it's not AYCE so it makes sense that prices would be a little higher than usual at KBBQ. The taste of the food was OKAY, nothing too special. The staff was nice but not super friendly. I wouldn't say I am eager to come back here, and probably won't be coming back for a while... read more

Best Korean food I've found yet! It's so hard to find decent Korean food coming from HI and used to eating in LA. Here's what we order Gamja Tang (Potato and Pork Neck Stew), spicy pork, chicken wings or whole fried Cornish hen, gal bi, fried mackerel, and seafood pancake. Also, the service is excellent and they make you feel like family. Absolutely great experience every time. read more

It's rare in today's food service world to receive great food and hospitality. Not here. Fiancée and I shared the 80 dollar combination meat to grill at your own table. It wasn't all you can eat like at K-town, but it still was plenty of food for 2 people. Had the crispy mandoos for an app and all the sides of Kim chee were great. I don't say it very often, but here I will definitely eat again. read more

JCD's bibimbap is so yummy and perfect! I wish they were open more than just on the weekends. The banchan comes with the yummiest sweet potatoes, and their kimchi is so excellent!! They sell just the kimchi, too; the last couple of times I went, they were sold out. read more

Visiting Portland craving for some Korean food and so glad we found this spot! Such a homey vibe and it felt comforting to eat here. Our server was so sweet and offered great menu recommendations. Our food arrived fairly quickly and everything was delicious! The galbi was our favorite of course! read more

Environment: Family-owned and small place with tables for groups of 4-8 with a small private room for a larger party. Well-lit with low ceiling. Staff:checked on us a few times and gave us a bottle of water to refill when needed. Food: Seafood pancake: my friends ordered two to share. It had a good amount of seafood (I know there were nicely-cooked octopus in there). I thought it felt a bit too oily. It was fried nicely that the outer part was nice and crispy and inside was softer but it also felt like there were leftover oil just hanging in between that could be soaked or dripped away. I got the sullungtang. There were lots of thin slices of beef though some were a little hard to eat and chew. The flavor was nice and on the saltier side or flavorful side. It went well with the rice. There was also vermicelli and the texture was on point, not mush or too hard. My soup was $12.95 which is similar to other Korean restaurants around the area. Note: parking can be a pain in the bum because of the bubble tea store and another Japanese restaurant. All three of those places are very nice, btw, but when it hits dinner time, expected to wait for boba peeps to leave or park across the street where New Seasons/ROSS/Powell's are at. The two restaurants only open for dinner so it does get competitive, parking spot-wise! read more

Great food, steep prices. The spicy pork bulgogi is a long-time favorite here, and their banchan is top notch, fresh and delicious. Huge menu, and very good food. read more

Food tastes just like my mom's! Bbq grill is not smoky and easy to use. I usually order one of my fave stews to go with the meat

Restaurant is small, so expect a wait during typical dinner hours. Air doesn't circulate as well on a warmer day so be aware may not be as cool. This place is one of my favorite Korean spots. My go to if I want to eat a simple Korean meal. I don't come here for the BBQ. I regularly order the Bossam (steamed pork belly) and the Kimchi Jjigae (stew with kimchi, pork, veggies, and tofu), which is plenty of food to split between two people. The meat is cooked well for the Bossam; the meat slices are thick and not just fat. Dipped in bean paste and eaten with white rice + sides = so basic, but SO GOOD! Sometimes simple food is what we need. They provide an array of side dishes with every meal, as most Korean restaurants do. Their Kimchi Jjigae is my all time favorite. Haven't found another KCJ that hits the spot like JCD's. It is well balanced in not only flavor, but also ingredients. I like that the veggies are cooked right and not extra soggy, that the pork is boneless and meaty, and the portion is enough to finish but not overfill. I will usually take a bit of rice in a bowl and put the stew in the same bowl to eat. Overall, one of my favorite Korean restaurants. Will always be back for the same two dishes. read more

A small little family run restaurant. I've been here twice and each time the service was on the slow side but it's forgiving. I can tell they do their best given the bandwidth. The banchans are so good here. I've had the rabboki, black bean noodles, bossam, blood sausage, and more. I will say, the dishes either are a hit or a big miss. The bossam is really delicious. The blood sausage might've been the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth. Both the taste and texture were not it for me. I'd say this place is worth trying but just keep in mind that it might be a bit of a wait. read more

(it's next to bubble n tea! literally perfect!) I stumbled across this place after a trip to Bubble N Tea next to it, and even though this place is small and homey, the food is packed with flavors that are comforting on a cold day, well worth the line. Service can be a little slow on busy nights, but I appreciate the dedication of the servers who still balanced multiple tables and many delicious dishes. Their soondubu, jokbal and bossam are sooo good, with addition to their buldak & spicy pork. Spicy squid was also perfectly spicy and hits well with a cup of rice. Definitely will be coming back for more! read more

JCD pocha will always have a place in my heart. The food here is amazing and I am so in love with the cheese tteokbokki! The service is great they don't have that many servers so be mindful that it can be a bit slow sometimes, but the food makes it so worth it. It's kind of a small space but there's a good seating! This place does get busy because the food is good! read more

The food was fantastic! Ordered these fried seaweed appetizers. So delicious! Loved the seafood pancake. We tried beef bulgogi and a bimibop (sp)? The service was great and the prices reasonable! The gentleman at the door will greet you and hoped we had a good meal. Loved it! Will be back! read more

Food was delicious, service was a bit slow but they were busy so I commend them. Will definitely be back

The food was great. But the service was a bit slow and we felt a little neglectged. However, they were nice enough to mention that they were busy so they couldn't be more mindful. They just opened the place as well so it is a little unorganized. I would come back if other places are closed. Not my first choice though on a night out. read more

Super good Korean food. The seafood pancake is make perfectly with the right amount of crisp!! The meat portions are rather light, like most Korean restaurants. Everything is up to standard for the quality!! We eat here often but more so on special occasions because of pricing. For a party of 8, we ordered soup, pancake, two meat dishes, rice cake, bimbimbap, and japchae. We ate all of it and took no leftovers! Highly recommend for the food quality!!! The size of the restaurant is kind of small so depending on the time, the wait times can vary. Particularly for dinner! Also tight parking lot so arrive a little early for your dinner date. Also heads up, the sides only get refilled once! And no reservations for parties less than 10. read more

Go to place with foodie friends!! Lots of delicious Korean dishes and their Cheese Tteokbokki is on repeat. The seafood pancake was thick and crispy I continue to come back here and always enjoy it read more

First Korean restaurant I've been to in Oregon! I thought the side dishes were pretty good, so I was happy about that. The radishes, fishcake, and potatoes were my favorites. I tried some of my friend's bulgogi, which was tasty but on the sweeter side. I ordered the bibim naengmyeon, which was pretty good, especially on a hot day, but it was a bit bare with barely any slices of beef though. :'( Overall, JCD has satisfactory food (a bit expensive, especially considering where I'm coming from- Southern California), but nothing mind blowing. Interior is nice and feels hole-in-the-wall especially with wallpaper of korean words plastered everywhere. read more

The food was ok no complaints. The time of waiting for food to come out might be 15-20 minutes, I think they make it when they get the order so I don't mind waiting. When I'm done eating I need to wait almost 20mins to get the check. I can just ask them, right? Yes! But I wanna see if they come and ask us but even 2-3 staff they walk past our table and make eye contact with us or even look at the table. None of them asked are we done or do we needed something else,...etc. And the store only have my table and another table (so just only 2 tables). They just let us sit there and look at them until we ask for the check. I came to JCD 2 times. 1st time is just the time waiting for food kinda long but I don't mind waiting for food. But 2nd time is the time waiting for food and the service. I get it that we will get tired or slack off sometimes but please if you guys give us a better service that would be excellent. read more

Been trying to make it out here for awhile since I've heard so many good things, and I'm glad to report that it does not disappoint. The wait time was about 30 mins at 8 pm on a Saturday, not bad. The pork bulgogi simply put is outstanding. The marinade is perfect on the pork, just enough sweetness for my liking and is cooked very well. It has a wonderful smokey/charred taste in the meat and vegetables which is hard to find, somebody in the kitchen is very skilled. So far, this is definitely my favorite bulgogi dish. I will most likely come back just for this. read more

Great service, loved the food. This post is a little biased. We were there for dinner with a friend who frequents this establishment. But biased or not I eat what agree with my palate. Everything we ordered here, I couldn't eat enough of. My only regret is that my stomach is not big enough. I just wanted to eat more, but there was not enough room. Thank you for the great meal and I'm glad for having been introduced to this place read more

I've been here multiple times since their reopening and it's always been a great experience! They revamped their menu to more of a street-style kind, but the food still remains delicious and shareable. Service is quick and friendly, and the ambience is super homey. Although some of their dishes have smaller portion sizes, we still manage to leave with leftovers every time. Definitely come here with larger groups - you'll be able to try more dishes! read more

JCD Pocha is reminiscent of the JCD restaurant that was previously here. It's basically a pub style place now. We ordered Corn Cheese to share and Rabokki and Kimchi Jigae for our main. The Rabokki was good, it felt like it was missing a little something, like some greens. The Kimchi Jjigae was good too. I enjoyed all the side dishes as well, kimchi itself was great! The service was wonderful, the lady serving us was attentive and would often ask how is everything. read more

My best friend took me and my other best friend for our birthdays! Mr Cho was the first to greet is and took us to our table. through out the night he would check in on us making sure everything was good and would make us laugh.

Thank you Mr Cho for an amazing night. read more

Ordered takeout and the whole experience was very nice. We ordered galbi and spicy pork bulgogi. My favorite was the galbi while my boyfriend really loved the pork bulgogi.

Had some friends visiting so we decided to come here for dinner. They are both Korean so they gave me some pointers and also ordered in Korean too! This place is pretty busy on a Tuesday night with a pretty diverse group of people eating there. We were seated right away and served hot rice water. We ordered Dokboki (spicy rice cakes with fish cakes) because I was craving it. It was just OK since I've had so much better back in Jersey. I don't want to start any fights but....I feel like East Coast (NJ/NYC Area where I come from) just has better Asian food! (Please don't hurt me...) We also tried the "Army Stew" which came with spam, hot dog sausages, fish cakes, tofu and Kimchi. Of course when it got boiling, you gotta put the packages Ramen in! (That's the best part!) It was just the right amount of spice, but could have a little bit more flavor in my opinion. As a bonus, the banchan (the small dishes) were a good variety, some sweet, some salty and of course Kimchi and radishes. The only thing was the parking lot was pretty small so you kinda have to fight for a spot. read more

Was so excited for them to be open again, but the quality isn't the same anymore. Had all the birthday dinners here for my friend group and we loved this place so much, but it's just not the same anymore... our Galbi came on a sizzling plate but it wasn't even sizzling... the onions that were the base didn't even cook because the plate wasn't even hot enough and the meat was just warm. The tteokbokki came in a bland watery sauce, and it use to pair so well with the seafood pancake because we would dip our pancake in the sauce and even put it over our rice. The seafood pancake that's all my friends and mines favorite came out too doughy and there was barely any seafood in it. I ate a giant piece that had one tiny mussel... the service is always sweet and charming. But the food and the quality that was amazing before just isn't there anymore. read more

First time eating Korean in Beav/PDX in several years as I've never been impressed with any places in the area. (Federal Way, WA is my go-to). Jokbal was good, but kimchi chigae a bit sour. Seafood pancake was thick, almost all batter and no seafood, and the ddukbokki was very sad with a few strips of thin fish cake, maybe a notch above Trader Joe's. Service good but food was not worth coming back for a second visit. read more

Rainy day called for some hot Korean food! Service was well organized as water was given, checked in, and also clean up was done very quickly as other tables left. Organization of waiting and checking in seemed to be good too. My table of 4 got a table right away and ordered, as our food came out within 10-15 minutes. We ordered 2 seafood pancakes- large enough where we should of ordered one. Crisp and crunchy with nice pieces of seafood but was a little too burnt on some pieces. Heats well for leftovers too. The spicy rice cake was more on the sweet side but had spice that was mild for me, and am sure you can adjust if needed. Rice cakes are the mini ones which is different than what I have seen but good for bite size. The group I was with seemed to enjoy their meals and the side dishes too. Parking can be an issue as well as payment, I believe you can pay at the table or go up to the counter (it was a little unclear). You may also have the smell of the food left on clothes/hair as well read more

Came here with the search of some good Korean bbq and saw the reviews and was in the areas so I said let's give it a shot. It was worth that's for sure. The food that I got was the pork bulgogi and it was sweet and spicy and came with 3 sides. I would say come here and call ahead and make a reservation since it does get busy. On top of that the service as perfect and everyone was quick and on point. There was a family near that didn't know how to cook Korean bbq so one of the owners came by and helped the family and explained everything. This place is a gem and worth the visit for some good k-bbq read more

It was busy on Friday night. I tried this restaurant for the first time. All the servers were shorthanded and too busy to take our order. But there was a guy server who often just stand to do nothing. I was wondering what he was doing... It took a long time to bring the small dishes to start with but brought a check quickly right after we finished our meals. I gave her a $50 bill to pay for my meal. I didn't realize the change she gave me was $10 less... My meal was $12.95 and she only gave me $27.05. I should have paid extra attention to the change... I'm sure she knew it. I will never come back to the restaurant again. I disappointed with the service and how they handle cash and meal I had. read more

I've been wanting to go to this Korean restaurant for years. (It's right next to my favorite bubble tea shop). It didn't disappoint! We got a casserole (#15) and it was delicious. Perfectly sized for 2 very hungry people or more if you plan on sharing more dishes. The staff was friendly and hospitable. The inside is a little small so depending on the time you visit you may have a wait. While we were there a large Korean party showed up so you know they make good, authentic food. The only tough thing is the restaurant is only open for dinner (or late lunch). I'll definitely be back to try other dishes. read more
