If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Korean food in Beaverton, JCD Korean Restaurant is an absolute must-visit! This hidden gem has quickly become one of my favorite spots for Korean cuisine, and it never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a cozy, unpretentious vibe and warm hospitality that makes you feel right at home. Let's talk about the food--because JCD absolutely nails it. Their Galbi (Korean BBQ short ribs) is hands down some of the best I've had outside of Korea. The meat is tender, juicy, and perfectly marinated, with that ideal balance of savory, sweet, and smoky flavors. Each bite is packed with that delicious umami that keeps you coming back for more. It's the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes and savor every single bite. But it doesn't stop there. Their Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) is equally impressive--perfectly cooked noodles, a great balance of textures, and a deep, flavorful sauce that ties everything together. The vegetables are fresh, and the dish is just the right mix of sweet, savory, and a little bit of sesame flavor. Honestly, if you're a fan of Japchae, you need to try it here. On top of the fantastic Galbi and Japchae, the side dishes (banchan) are always fresh and delicious, adding even more depth and variety to the meal. The kimchi is just the right level of spice and tang, and the other small plates are a great complement to the main dishes. The service at JCD is also top-notch--friendly, attentive, and always willing to offer recommendations. The portion sizes are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth here. If you're in the Beaverton area and craving Korean food, JCD Korean Restaurant should absolutely be on your radar. Whether you're a longtime fan of Korean cuisine or a newcomer, the Galbi and Japchae alone are worth the visit. Can't wait to come back!

The revamped JCD is excellent as ever. Their food options were fantastic with great taste and variety. We didn't do the BBQ as that is a pretty typical experience. The service here was quick even late night. I appreciate their late hours of business. The remodel turned out nicely and the inside is very clean and modern.

Earlier this year, JCD reopened as a KBBQ spot in the larger space next to their original location (still in the same plaza!). On a weekend evening, this spot could get busy and there might be a wait, but it's definitely worth it! Service here is good, the ambiance is lively, and it's always a good time. This place does NOT offer AYCE, but it's easily become my favorite KBBQ spot in Portland. All the cuts of meat are very good and they have a pretty straight forward menu. On top of that, all of their cooked dishes and entrees are delicious. I've been here so many times since they've reopened as a KBBQ and I highly recommend others to check it out as well!

We are JCD's fan for many years since they had a small place and now they move to the bigger room next to the old one. I love food and i love service over there. They are family business and everyone is very nice like we go visit our friend's house, the owner and their relative treat us so well. Many times that they gave us free drink. Love them and i will still continue to support them. Thank you very much JCD's family

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!

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!
