K-Town Korean BBQ Tastes Amazing Bite After Bite đŸŒ¶ïž

đŸ„Ÿ Dough Zone Dumpling House (Portland Location) | Scenery 10/10, Half the Dishes Are Duds—Quality Control Is All Over the Place! Address: 1910 S River Dr, Portland, OR 97201 The best thing about this spot is its “river view”—window seats let you watch boats glide on the water, and the afternoon sun streaming in is lovely. But the food made me frown repeatedly, even making me wonder if it’s the same chain as the Clackamas location (I had a great experience at the Clackamas Dough Zone before)! đŸœïž Dish Reviews: Only the Banana Roti Saves the Day, Others Are a Struggle Sweet and Spicy Cucumber đŸ„’: It’s refreshing, but way too sweet and greasy! The sauce has so much sugar—first bite feels “refreshing,” but after a few more, it’s cloying. We left half of it uneaten; Chicken Minced Meat Noodles 🍜: The “passable one” on the menu. The noodles are chewy and springy, and there’s a decent amount of minced meat, but the seasoning is too bland (like they forgot to add enough salt). I had to add vinegar to give it flavor; Hot and Sour Vermicelli Soup 🍋: So sour it made me frown! The soup’s acidity was like biting into a lemon directly—there was almost no spiciness at all. One sip made my face scrunch up, and it completely lost the “balanced hot-and-sour soul” of the dish. I only ate a few bites of the vermicelli before pushing the bowl away; Jianbing (Chinese Pancake) 🌯: The biggest dud! The crispy fried dough inside wasn’t crispy, and they skimped on the sweet bean sauce but dumped way too much salt. One bite was “salty to the point of bitterness”—I took two bites and threw it away, a total waste of money and stomach space; Signature Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings đŸ„Ÿ: The most disappointing dish! You can tell they’re “frozen dumplings”—the wrapper and filling are completely separated. The filling is dry and tough, and the wrapper has a “raw batter texture” like it wasn’t fully pan-fried. It has none of the aroma of fresh-made pan-fried dumplings; Banana Roti đŸ«“: The only “savior” of the whole meal! The outer layer is golden and crispy, makinga “crunch” sound when you bite into it. Inside, it’s filled with melted banana puree—sweet but not cloying, even my friend who doesn’t like sweet food ate two pieces; Zha Jiang Mian (Noodles with Soybean Paste) 🍜: The flavor is so weird it’s confusing! The first taste is full of “salty, fishy fermented black bean flavor.” The sauce is too thin to coat the noodles, so it tastes like “plain noodles tossed in soy sauce”—the more I ate, the more confused I got. 💡 Verdict: Only Worth It for the View—Head to the Clackamas Location for Good Food! If you just want a place to “chill with a view and chat,” you can stop by for a drink and banana roti. But if you’re craving good dumplings or noodles, I sincerely suggest going out of your way to the Clackamas location instead—it has way more consistent quality and won’t leave you sighing while you eat! đŸ„© K-Town Korean BBQ Restaurant (Beaverton Location) | Every Dish Is So Delicious You’ll Lick the Plate—Authentic Korean Street Flavors! Address: 4570 SW Lombard Ave, Beaverton, OR 97005 It’s a 20-minute drive from downtown Portland to Beaverton, and this Korean spot didn’t disappoint at all! The decor is cozy, like a Korean family restaurant—the staff speak Chinese and are super friendly. Every dish we ordered (we got 5 total) was cleaned up, not even a drop of sauce left! đŸœïž Dish Reviews: Order Blindly Without Regret—Every Bite Is “Korean Joy” Rice in Soup đŸČ: A “reliable old friend”—it can’t go wrong! Just order it. The warm beef soup is filled with soft tofu, kelp, and beef slices, with a rich, simmered aroma. Soak it with white rice, and every bite warms you from the stomach out. It’s cozy in fall and winter, and not greasy even in summer; Korean Cold Noodle Soup 🍜: Perfect for hot weather! The icy soup has a sweet-tart flavor, with apple slices, pear slices, and kimchi to cut greasiness. The noodles are chewy and springy—slurp a bite, and you’ll feel “instantly refreshed.” It’s appetizing, and we even drank half the soup; Katsu Don (Fried Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl) đŸ·: So crispy it makes a “crunch” sound! The pork cutlet is coated in a super thin layer of flour—no thick, doughy mess. The meat inside is juicy, and paired with the sweet-tart sauce and fresh salad, every bite is “crisp, fresh, and tangy”—not greasy at all. This was the first dish we finished; Cheese Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) 🍡: Eat it while it’s hot—it’s chewy and gooey! The rice cakes are soft and tender, coated in rich cheese-spicy sauce. Bite into it, and the cheese stretches, with a burst of flavor. It gets hard once it cools down, so don’t wait; #PortlandEats #BeavertonFood #PortlandKoreanFood #DoughZoneReview #KoreanBBQ #FoodDiary #AvoidDudsFindFavorites
