Chimcking — Restaurant in Portland

Really disappointing experience. We showed up 30 minutes before closing to place a simple to-go order, only to be told they don’t take any orders that close to closing time. If that’s your policy, fine — but be honest and adjust your hours. Don’t waste people’s time and then act like we’re the problem for showing up during your posted business hours. Super unprofessional and frustrating. Won’t be coming back.

Update

What made it worse was the owner’s patronizing response, blaming “most restaurants” for also stopping service early—which simply isn’t true. Many restaurants take orders right up to their listed closing time or at least make that policy clear upfront. Hiding behind vague industry claims and blaming slow business isn’t an excuse for poor customer service or false advertising.

If you’re going to stop serving before your listed hours, own it—don’t gaslight customers or shift blame. Unprofessional, dishonest, and...

Sooo good! Had the Half & Half Boneless Soy Garlic & Hot King along with the Cheese Ddukbokki and everything was fantastic! The chicken isn't too heavily-battered, making for a meal that didn't leave one feeling heavy or gross. Preferred the Hot King, but the garlic was coming strong on the Soy Garlic so not bad at all. The real star was the Ddukbokki.

Hard to describe but the Ddukbokki or "rice cakes" are like these cylindrical small rolls of rice-doughy goodness coupled with what seemed like kimchi all in an almost marinara-like sauce. Coupled with the cheese on top, the whole thing comes together in a way that almost feels like Korean mixed with Italian. I'm still not describing it well but highly recommend it. Delicious and comforting, can't wait to try again.

The vibe is chill (we had the place to ourselves so that was nice). K-Pop on the television. Service quick and sweet. Really cool spot....

Sitting here waiting for my order now. The young lady at the register that bypassed my fiancée and me to help another couple that showed up after us and didn’t even apologize. I didn’t leave a tip and I always make sure to leave a tip as I work two full time jobs just to make ends meet. The food here is always amazing and this is the first time I have gotten bad service. Do better.

First time back in 5 months and we walked in to be told that the kitchen had to close early due to being short staff. I understand Being short staffed however a sign should have been posted on the door saying that they were short staffed and due to that they won’t be making food past 8pm. I also sent a friend here and your people refused to make rice for her and the other people in the lobby because it “takes too long” you guys just went down hill since you first opened. I just spend the extra money...
