Hearty K-Bop | Korean Chicken & Bulgogi — Restaurant in Battle Ground

Short version: Go! You won’t regret it! …Long version: My son and I decided to try this restaurant after reading reviews and we were NOT disappointed. The food was very good and the presumed owner was delightfully friendly. We splurged and spent close to $60 trying a huge assortment as there were so many appealing options. My son had the beef bulgogi and I had the spicy pork bulgogi, plus we shared the Yang Yum chicken (FYI - perfect crispy fried chicken). For sides, we chose the japchae, corn slaw, fried dumplings and kimchi. All of the food was so flavorful and delicious! Of course, we had plenty of leftovers so we ensured to package them to bring home. Within the hour of returning home, we were back munching on our leftovers. By 3am, I woke from a deep sleep and I am embarrassed to admit that my first thought upon waking was of this flavorful food. Well, after lying in bed for a bit, I could not rid myself of my food cravings, so I gave in to them. By the way, this was highly unusual for me at this time of night. Anyhow, I made a trip back to the refrigerator to polish off the last of my leftovers with the exception of the japchae. My kiddos would have been deeply upset for touching “their japchae” since it was so good, so I stayed away. As for the japchae, my daughter recently had her wisdom teeth removed so she was incredibly pleased to be able to eat the soft noodle japchae as it was definitely the most exciting thing she ate over the last week. I’m pondering making another trip to Hearty K-Bop tomorrow to obtain a stockpile of their homemade kimchi. Their kimchi was the best that I have ever had and impressive enough to enjoy alone as a snack. I am I inspired to make a kimchi fried rice dish with the extra kimchi leftovers. Needless to say, I am enchanted so we will be repeat customers to this jewel of a restaurant. Also, my young son noted that the woman who served us was a reason enough to return as she was so friendly to us. It seems so rare nowadays to get such welcoming and friendly service and it was a delight to experience such great customer service and receive genuine appreciation for our patronage… To those timid to try this place: Seriously, just go! I have no regrets and the money...

I was a little skeptical driving 20 minutes for food, but with the glowing Google review and a hankering for Fried Chicken that wasn't fast food based I made my way over to give this place a shot. Woah. Absolutely hands down one of the very best Fried Chicken experiences that I've ever had. I got the Boneless Sweet Wasabi, and the Bone-In Macho King. Both were incredible. The Sweet Wasabi came with chinese mustard and green onions to add as you eat, and it was so flavorful. The Macho King packed some great spice and the flavor was perfection. The Bone-In wings had a ton of meat on them, and were the perfect size when mixed with the crunchy breading. The fries that came with the 5-piece meal were also very flavorful and were perfectly crispy. Korean Fried Chicken just is out of this world, and this place does is better than any I've had in this area. In addition, the staff were incredibly nice and the business itself was spotless. I will most...

Always the first place I recommend people go to eat at when vising Battle Ground. Consistency in the quality of food and service is what this place excels at. I have always been met with a smile, served with attentiveness, and provided delicious food.

I come here specifically for their Korean Fries Chicken. My go to is the Yang-Yum (my girlfriend highly advocates for the Soy Garlic), but you seriously cannot go wrong with any of the flavors (if you like spicy, try out that Macho King! 🌶)

I find that leftovers reheat well and to-go's hold fine, as long as your destination isn't too far away. The chicken is best eaten as close to as when it came out as possible, because the breading and the crunch is where the magic is.

Overall, couldn't recommend this place enough. The owners definitely have me as a...
