COREDAM KOREAN RESTAURANT 꼬레담

"This Southwest Canyon Road Korean restaurant attracts crowds thanks to its super generous banchan assortment, range of kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soups), and hanjeongsik, an elaborate meal consisting of several small and large dishes like bulgogi and grilled croaker. Coredam is also one of the few spots in the area serving gejang, or raw marinated crab. Several of the shop’s stews and soups — like its spicy tofu sundubu-jjigae or ox bone soup seolleongtang — are ideal for cold Oregon days." - Krista Garcia

"The main appeal of this Beaverton restaurant is its banchan: Coredam’s assortment is perhaps the most extensive in Portland, with things like spicy raw marinated crab. When it comes to mains, the yukgaejang kalguksu is a highlight, pairing knife-cut noodles with a spicy, beefy broth. Note: Lines here can get long, and wait times can hit the multiple-hour mark; it’s best to arrive at least 30 minutes before the restaurant opens, particularly on weekends." - Rebecca Roland
