JCD Korean Restaurant

We really liked it here! It is open and spacious so you don't feel cramped in. The food was really good, we ordered the kimchi jjigae, galbi, chicken buldok and bibimbap, banchan was good, too. drinks were a little pricey but expected - we got soju and makgeolli. We had a great time and service was great, everyone was so friendly!

I enjoyed the side dishes and the meat was pretty good, but the service was disappointing. Though, I feel bad saying this because it seemed like there was only one server. Additionally, it seemed like the server knew the other parties provided she was friendlier and more attentive with them. At one point, our grill started smoking really bad. An individual who did not appear to be a server came and helped us, thankfully. I was quite impressed with the development of their new KBBQ restaurant. I appreciated the clean and modern interior design. I moved to Portland several years ago when the previous establishment was still running - I believe it was a Korean home shopping store or something of that nature. The ambiance of the restaurant was clean and reminded me of a KBBQ restaurant that I might see in Southern California, where you find some of the best KBBQ. I am yet to find a KBBQ restaurant in Portland that beats Los Angeles quality and service.I would recommend JCD KBBQ if you're in the area and curious to try it out. Maybe don't have high expectations for service.

Came to their new restaurant and was so impressed at how spacious and modern it looked inside. Came here for a late lunch with my son and he and I enjoyed our meal so much that we plan to come back with our family and try out their KBBQ and other dishes. We ordered the Pork Bulgogi, Mulnengmyun (Cold Noodles) and Mulmandoo (dumplings) and they came with banchan sides. Everything was delicious and flavorful, portions were more than average so I found that it was worth what we paid for. I especially loved the steamed dumplings with the dipping sauce, they were so tender and juicy. I think overall, it was a great experience and will definitely be back!

Since I'm not a Beaverton regular, I can't tell whether if JCD Korean restaurant had just relocated to the other part of the same plaza, if it's a grand opening, or if the restaurant had been operating for a while. We came here Sunday night on Labor Day weekend and even at 8pm there was a bit of a wait for a party of 4. There seems to be a lot of large parties and celebration when we walked in. We were seated at 830 and tried to order as quickly as we could as we were starving. The restaurant seemed extremely understaffed and we felt bad for the servers as they were running around in a big restaurant. It probably took us over 30 minutes before we received our order. The banchan were also not delivered to our table until our main dishes arrived. We felt bad rushing the staff since the kitchen was probably backlogged, but a lot of tables were doing KBBQ so the cooked items we ordered shouldn't have taken long. I did like the seafood tofu soup (Haemul soondubu) and the glass noodle (japchae) were the highlight of the meal. Portions were on the larger side and we were beyond full sharing 3 dishes among 4 people. There's a lot of potential for the restaurant but really wish they would figure out their staffing issue on the floor as well as in the kitchen!

First time back at JCD since they reopened in this new location. The owners are always so kind and personable we have been a fan for many years. My favorites are the kimchi pancake and bulgogi but everything is so good! Restaurant is clean and open and I can't wait to eventually try the kbbq!

I am always trying to find a great Korean spot and I think I found the one! JCD is in a plaza but parking spots are limited with the other businesses in the area so I recommend coming during off peak hours. I've been here a couple of times now and each time it's packed and people are waiting to be seated/take things to go. It is a small space so be sure to come extra early if you're in a group larger than 4 people. My usual items to order are the ttbeokki, spicy pork, and pajeon. The three have great flavors and portion sizes that can easily be shared. I enjoy the sauce on the ttbeokki that is on the thicker side which allows the sauce to hold on the chewy rice cakes. The spicy pork is a great protein to get and pair with white rice (yum!) a little oily though. The pajeon is always sooo crispy and the sauce to dip it in is light. I've also tried the black bean noodles and pork broth soup/sundae and those are also great items to try that are not usual items you see on all Korean menus. Service here is friendly and quick to bring any additional banchan that we might have finished. Banchan options are so so but overall really solid with the meal.

JCD moved to a new location in the same plaza. We came at 6pm on Sunday night hoping to beat the crowd but there was already lots of people waiting by the door. We waited about 15 minutes to get seated. There are lots of indoor seating so the wait went by quickly.We ordered the cheesy chicken buldak, seafood pancake, spicy squid stir fry, and buddae jjigae. Everything was so delicious. JCD is my favorite Korean restaurant so I was so excited when I found out they expanded. The gold dishes they used for the banchan add a very classy touch. I will definitely be back again and again (will have to try the Korean bbq next time)! Their host was very friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is that the parking lot is always full (because they are so popular) so be prepared to park in nearby lots!

My friends and I went IN on this meal. It's a small family run joint so you have to be a little patient, but it was worth it!The seafood pancake was sooo good and crispy with lots of flavor. The soondubu was piping hot and hit. The. Spot. Unfortunately, the galbi meat was a little chewy and tteokbokki was slightly too sweet for my taste but both were still good and maybe just a preference thing. We still devoured everything and were very satisfied all around.The inside is themed like street food stalls in Korea which adds to this cozy late night feel. Will definitely come again. And the man running the front is just a charm!

Had dinner at JCD today and everything tasted amazing, the makguksu was extra cold today perfect for this upcoming hot weather!

It's been a long time since I visited a Korean restaurant. My buddies and I visited JCD Korean BBQ place last night. This place is quite big and has good capacity to hold lots of people at one time. The place has a tabletop grill for BBQ and for a hotpot. We started with shoju and beers with appetizers like Spicy Ttaekbokki, coconut shrimps and kimchi pancake. It was delicious. The banchan was a good starter too. We also ordered beef Bibimbap, japchae noodles with beef and fishcake, spicy pork bulgogi and grilled butterflied mackerel. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to spend some leisure time with friends and family over some beers and shoju with amazing food. I am going back for some more.
