    Assorted Katsu and Katsu Curry Udon
    Cathy S.

    Came here with a friend for an early dinner around 5pm on a Thursday and there was only one other table occupied when we got there but quickly filled up later. The space was beautiful with basket lights, neon light signs, and KPOP music videos playing on the TV. The ladies serving us were so friendly and helped us decide on what to order by explaining the menu. They were also so attentive throughout the meal and check out is table side which was great. We got the Assorted Katsu to try some of everything and the Katsu Curry Udon because my friend never had Japanese curry before (she loved it!) Everything was fresh made to order in house with different sauces for dipping and kimchi and pickled radish to balance out the fried goodness. It's no surprise that our favorite was the OG pork Katsu but the cheesy one, chicken, and the shrimp were all crispy and juicy. It looked like they had a lot of other specials too so we will definitely be back to try more things! The only thing is the parking lot is a little funky getting in and out but it's also next to Bobadochi so you can get yourself a sweet mochi donut treat after a yummy lunch or dinner here. Highly recommend!

    We had a full meal (and leftovers) here. This place is clean and bright with fun vibe. Staff were friendly and attentive. They took time to explain everything on the menu and all the sauces. Thank you. They made katsu fresh in the house, so we tried Assorted Kutsu with a side of curry. Big portion that we can easily share or take home the leftovers. King Don Kutsu was a very big piece of pork katsu which again we can totally share and still have some leftover! Spicy pork bibimbop was delicious and Kimchi Nabe was yummy. All dishes came with rice and salad and various sauces. The complimentary mochi ice cream was a nice finish for our meal.

    After seeing this one tiktok, we had to stop in the next time we were in beaverton. When you enter you wait to be seated & although some mentioned about ordering at the counter, we got ours taken at our table. They run a smaller menu featuring Korean street food. We both went with the katsu curry chicken & pork. When our food arrived, it was a nice surprise to see it came with soup, cabbage, & some other Bandhan. Pretty sure thay was mentioned at the top of the menu, we just didnt read. A little different from the Japanese katsu we're used to, but we both really liked it. That was also our first time having Korean curry. A little on the sweeter side, but still had a little spice at the end. For $19.99, Id say it was worth. Both came with a good amount of meat & all the sides. Definitely try it out.

    Korean style katsu, slightly different from Japanese katsu. Got the regular yumee katsu and it comes with a udon broth cup, shredded cabbage (with thousand island sauce), kimchi, and sweet pickled daikon. The breading is similar to Japanese katsu however it is tenderized mechanically from the holes inside of it. It's good and dense. For the price $19 - it's a good meal set. The place is tight so be prepared to have narrow walking space. You pay before eating which is nice. The vents here aren't that strong so when you leave you will smell like fried food. Service was awesome and the Thai lady (I think) who has a cute doggo, was super friendly and personable. She gives off amazing mama energy!

    We stopped in on a busy Saturday around dinner time and were seated immediately. It was pretty full though, so there may be a wait on weekends. The service was attentive and they answered any questions we had about the menu. They start everyone out with a little house pancake for free, which is such a nice touch. We all absolutely loved it. It was sweet and kind of savory and just delicious. My daughter and I went with the Assorted Katsu set. I love a big tray full of options! The miso soup was good and we all really enjoyed the kimchi, both radish and cabbage. I also liked the cabbage salad but would have preferred the option to make my own salad dressing. My favorite katsu was the shrimp and I would probably just get that next time. It was light and crunchy and I loved it with the tartar sauce. I also enjoyed the pork with the katsu sauce. I wanted to love the cheese but it was super sized, it was even too heavy for my chopsticks. I wish it was about half the size so it was more crispy and melty. My husband had udon with katsu which he enjoyed. I do love that they offer lots of options and even a giant king sized katsu which a lot of people seemed to order. This is worth a try if you're in the area. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!

    Really enjoyed the.curry and chicken katsu. The curry was good with a lot of flavoring in it. The katsu was crispy and juicy after biting into it. There's a lot of seating there so makes it easy to find a seat. Convenient to order at the counter and then they bring it out to you.

    We went here on a Saturday afternoon and were expecting a long wait based on previous reviews but we were seated promptly upon arrival. We were seated at the table near the door but it still felt quite cramped and it was difficult to pull out the chair to be able to sit. Service was quick and efficient but our interaction didn't feel very personable. I've had my fair share of Japanese katsu so I was intrigued on how Korean katsu would compare. The katsu was a lot flatter but the pork they used still delivered a juicy and tender bite. The rice cakes also had a nice chewy texture to complement the katsu. It did have a decent amount of spice but I was able to still enjoy it. I appreciated how the katsu was served as a complete meal with a variety of sides that justifies the price point.

    My son suggested we try this place after seeing it on TikTok. I read the reviews and was excited to check it out. The space was much smaller and tighter than I expected. The service also felt rushed even though the restaurant was not busy. It may just be the way the manager works, but it felt quick and a little abrupt. When our bibimbap came out, she immediately explained how to mix it rather than asking if we had any questions about the dish, which felt a bit rushed to me. The food was good, as expected, but nothing out of the ordinary. When you grow up eating katsu, you naturally become more critical of it. It was good, but I would not say it was the best I have ever had. The staff were very friendly though, and very attentive about refilling water just like many reviews mentioned. The sides were good as well. Overall the food was good, but not something that would make me rush back unless I was specifically craving katsu. If you have never had katsu before, this would be a great place to try it. I would give the food 5 stars, but -2 stars for the points I mentioned. Side note: many reviews said you have to order at the counter, but they actually took our order at the table. We went on a Saturday around 2 pm.

    Crispy katsu and pretty big portions! Wish the sides were just a tad bigger because I ran out of katsu sauce quickly. Service was great! Our server was new I think but she was so attentive and nice. The environment felt very casual.

    Came in after 1pm on a Sunday, the restaurant was less than half full. We were seated quickly, the restaurant still has resemblence of the previous Korean restaurant, with some new fixtures, signs, and displays. The tables were a bit squeezed, so the place felt a bit cramped. Menu is pretty straight forward and we ordered a three different items for the three of us. The portions are pretty big, and all of the katsu were fried to perfection. Overall the food are delicious, the sides pair well with the katsu, the curry is also delicious. It was a bit odd to be presented with the check immediately after ordering, hard to know what the service is like and tipping first. All in all, good food, and we will likely be back again.

    King Don Katsu
    Christian-Immanuel C.

    Located in a complex with plenty of parking space. When you enter, there's plenty of seating and you get this upbeat vibe from the K-Pop music. This place is still fairly new from what I was told so when I came, they had me sit down, order, and pay all in one go before my food came out. Personally, would prefer to do that after that way I may tip accordingly rather than prior. But to digress, now I wish I tipped more because the service was great. They made sure to constantly check in with me throughout my meal. They were super friendly and answered any questions I had. I got the King Don Katsu and it had so much crunch to it that it got pretty messy. There was panko everywhere and I felt bad as I was eating the dish. The dipping sauce was warmed up and had a savory, tangy taste which had me using up almost all the sauce. It was nice that it also came with soup, salad, pickled veggies, and rice. I wish the portioning for the sides matched the size of the Katsu because I ran out of a lot of it before making it through the whole dish. Overall a really great experience and would definitely come back and try the other dishes whenever I'm in town.

    Curry Udon Katsu
    Amanda L.

    This place is incredible! The staff are also soo friendly! They seat you at a table and then you order at the counter when you're ready. The rest is full service so they'll bring the food out and check on you. The Katsu, the best. The curry was very tasty. If you get the curry Udon, definitely get extra curry on the side We have dined in and ordered take out. Our orders came out quick! The take out order was packaged very well and was done in only 10- 15 minutes! Everything here is super fresh and it's probably the best Katsu you are going to get in the area. Definitely some of the best I've had. The meat is very flavorful and tender. The only thing bad I can say is that the seating is a bit cramped. This place does get busy but I didnt have to wait for a table during dinner time which was nice but the tables are very close together.

    Katsu Curry Udon
    Camellia L.

    Came here with friends and we had a lovely time! The katsu was the perfect amount of crispy texture and the cabbage salad added a nice and refreshing mix-up to the meal. I personally got the shrimp curry katsu udon and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The curry wasn't that salty and the udon was just the right texture. I do wish that the portion size of the shrimp katsu was bigger because it wasn't that filling but the other dishes offered that my friends got did seem more filling. You order at the counter and service was pretty attentive.

There were a few tables filled but not too busy. My banchan didnt come out until my food came out. There was about 7 side dishes. They were the highlight of my meal. They were simple but delicious. Sadly the soup wasn't good. I was sad that it didnt have much flavor. It's like they forgot salt and just boiled hot water. There was only 3 piece of beef rib. There was plenty of daikon and glass noodles. The prices for the dishes were a bur pricey for the portions they give. I'd come back again to try their other dishes. Definitely gives you authentic koren food vibes with 3 ajummas working.

That being said I've had the dolsot bimimbop, kimchi jjigae/stew, kimchi pajeon/pancake, seafood pancake, and various bulgogi and galbi and thought all of them were solid. Banchan was decent. None of them were bad on multiple visits but none of them were so amazing that it left an imprint either. This place is probably my favorite spot when I want a Korean meal and not just wings or kbbq.

I usually buy both of the BOGO offers, and I've done this a few times in the past, and they've all gone fine, no problems. I get my 4x10pc wing orders without issue. Yesterday I did the same thing - I ordered 2 BOGOs, expecting my usual 40 wings. But when I walked into pick it up, the Asian lady at the counter (I think she's the owner, maybe?) chastised me and told me to limit myself to just 1 BOGO order in the future. Huh? I only got 2 BOGOs, and it's not like the price was so cheap that the restaurant was losing money or something. And besides, I've ordered these 2 BOGOs numerous times in the past. That's when I saw that the restaurant was treating any SINGLE 10pc order as a BOGO. So when I checked out with my 4 10pc orders, the restaurant took that to mean 4 BOGO orders, or in other words, EIGHT 10pc orders. No wonder the lady was upset. Of course, it's not my error, as the restaurant was interpreting the order incorrectly. I even tried my best to explain this to the lady, as well as explain that I've ordered these BOGOs multiple times in the past (and this same lady was at the desk when I picked them up!!), and it's never been an issue. Still, the lady kept insisting she was correct, and that 1 10pc order constituted a BOGO in itself, which makes absolutely zero sense, and not how literally any other merchant I've ever bought from on UberEats has done their BOGO promotions, which I also told her. Anyway, in the future, I'll still continue to order as many BOGOs as I want, I'll just probably order delivery so I don't have to deal with this nonsense. EDIT: I see the owner has responded to my review. I can certainly see how someone exploiting multiple BOGOs to order 100+ wings at a time would be harmful to the company and completely against the spirit of the promotion. But I did nothing like that. Two different BOGOs were being offered, and I simply purchased 1 of each. I've done this multiple times both at this restaurant and at numerous other restaurants that offer different BOGOs, and this was literally the first time that any restaurant worker has mentioned a word about it. The biggest issue is that the Chimcking workers are apparently a bit undertrained when it comes to processing ubereats BOGO promotions, which is why I received 80 wings instead of the 40 I was supposed to get.
