Goong KBBQ

I recently visited Goong KBBQ, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant had a cozy, authentic vibe with sleek grills built right into the tables, making it a great spot for group dining or even a date night.

Newly established Korean-owned.Fresh decor, friendly service, menu with all the standards.Light assortment of Banchan but they are willing to refill upon request.Korean beer, soju for alcoholic beverages.Great for lunch.

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.

Amazing service, clean atmosphere, and love the food. Came for a random date night and was not disappointed!!!I can't wait to come back

Excellent open for Korean bbq. Well priced and the options and quality of food balanced the experience. Service was quite good as well

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.

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 seafoodSPICY 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.

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

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 GukThe 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!

Great KBBQ, good portions, felt like i was in LA again, pork belly was awesome. Very attentive service and great ambiance. They've taken a lot of pride in this restaurant and they show it
