Koreana Restaurant 9955 Southwest Beaverton Hillsdale Highway, Beaverton, OR 97005

"I stopped by Koreana in Portland for dinner a couple of months ago. Overall, I’d give them 6.8/10: - Ox Tail Soup: 8/10: Hearty but expensive for the amount you get - Stir-Fry Squid with Pork Belly: 8.3/10: Good flavour, a bit less spicy than expected - B Bim Baab: 7.3/10: Lacked flavour, average in balancing the food/ingredients - Seafood Pancake: 3/10: Flavour was okay, variety of ingredients looked okay, but fairly inedible as it was really burnt"

"Stopped by this place recently and had a varied experience. The service stood out, with the staff being attentive and friendly. The bibimbap was decent, especially with its accompanying sauce, and the sake was quite good. However, the spicy beef soup definitely needs some work on its flavor profile. Would recommend the restaurant gives their soup recipes a revisit. If you're planning a visit, the bibimbap paired with sake might be a safe bet."

"The food was undeniably delicious and authentically prepared, accompanied by friendly staff. However, the dining environment had two flies flying around, and the waiting time was longer than expected due to limited staff. If you're a fan of Korean cuisine and can overlook these issues, give this restaurant a try for its delicious flavors and friendly service."

"The restaurant is pretty small with limited seating and while dining I’ve seen them turn away multiple parties. They’re severely understaffed with two ladies running the orders, waiting on tables, clearing tables, and doing take out orders. When dining in, they will only stop by to bring you menu, take orders, bring food, and bring the check. I’ve been really spoiled with good Korean food in NYC, and unfortunately Koreana could not compare. We came as a party of 4 and each got one of the combo sets and the seafood pancake to share. Pancake was probably the best thing we ordered that meal with crispy edges and decent amount of seafood. I got a combo of bibim nangmyeon (spicy cold noodles - sauce was more sweet than spicy) and LA galbi.. but the galbi never came. Given the slow service we had all meal and I was pretty full from what we did get already, I was fine if they didn’t put the order in. But of course it came up on the receipt, and after bringing it up to one of the servers she came back with a handwritten receipt… still with the same calculations including the galbi. After we pointed it out again, they finally came back with the corrected check. Wouldn’t recommend dining in - prices are high, service is non-existent, food was mediocre. Maybe if you had a Korean food craving, Koreana comes to mind, stick with ordering for take out?"
