"A Salem transplant, Happy Bibimbap House is even closer to the Hollywood MAX station than Chin’s, basically right below the steps off the station. Happy Bibimbap House is a super reasonably priced, warm and cheerful Korean restaurant with classics like kimchi jjigae, jajang myeon, and bulgogi, plus the restaurant’s namesake, a customizable rice bowl served in or out of a hot stone bowl." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

I had a really hard day at work and didn't want to cook so I ordered food to go. I live really close and hadn't tried Happy Bibimbap House 2 yet. It was easy to order on the phone with them and they were so nice. They had it ready in 10 minutes. It was hot when I got it. They were SO friendly and wrote this on my order. I needed that more than they'll ever understand. 🥺❤️ Thank you and you have a new regular! Delicious food too!

Went on a weekend. Parking was difficult because they wouldn’t let me park in the gym parking even though it’s what’s advertised outside. 짜장면 was okay. Lots of onion and not as much pork. Only 4 반찬 but refilled by the staff. Given complimentary pancake and watermelon slices for dessert. Great service. Would give 5 stars if flavor of food was better.

It's a fairly large location on a corner plot. Only had one server on Sunday lunch. She was very nice, though limited English made it difficult at times to understand the menu or what was being asked. Ordered multiple items, overall good. Price was very reasonable.

I’ve been here 2 times and will definitely be a regular. The service so refreshing and wonderful! The banchan they offer is complementary and delicious. The meal portions are very filling and warm up your stomach. They also give a cute complimentary desert orange afterwards which is a sweet touch to end your meal experience.

Went to try the Janjanmyeon and it didn't disappoint! My 5 year old had find out about the noodle dish and wanted to try it, he talked about it non stop all day long! We also had the scallion pancake, Dolsat bibimbap stone bowl and yakisobi. I pancake was so light and crisp, we had to order more!

This is my first time ever at a Korean BBQ and I think I've hit a jackpot. Everyone was super nice, the restaurant is clean, the women's bathroom even has a bidet! How cool is that! I ordered Combo box #2 Bulgogi $15.99 (price as of Jan 2022) and Dolsot bibimbap beef $12.99. The dishes come with sides, a vegetable pancake, a steamed egg soufflé (Gyeran-jjim), and an orange as desert in the end of our meal. Everything tasted good, but I was a little surprised to see a raw egg on top of Dolsot bibimbap because I always see it cooked on photos. The bulgogi meat was flaky and soft, and also delicious.

The entire experience was a pleasure from the moment we walked in. Place was clean and offered wipes on the table to sanitize. The owners are very kind and attentive, and the food was amazing. They even gave us a few extra dishes to try and truly made this a pleasurable experience. Will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend.

The servers we had were so sweet and made us feel at home. They fed us SO WELL! Our meal was so cheap considering the portions and all of the side dishes. Definitely a great place to bring a group of friends.

I saw this place had a grand opening sign for a while, and decided to check it out with friends one day. Walking in during dinner, it wasn't very packed (about 2-3 other tables) and we were seated down right away. The staff seemed to be two older Korean women, and they were AMAZING. I've been here multiple times since and they're always so sweet and happy, they really make the dining experience so much better. My group of 3 ordered 4 dishes and after ordering them, we were given our side dishes and a piece of seafood pancake (which was amazing). All of the dishes came out fairly quickly and they smelled (and looked amazing). Pricing and portion sizes were so generous and everything was delicious. Everything that I ordered my first time coming here, I've ordered multiple times since (and also tried a number of new ones). After eating, they give you a small dessert (fruit, juice, etc.) and it's such a nice way to end the meal. Definitely feels like I'm being taken care of by two sweet ladies, and I love coming here. I wish they were open later as it would be such a good late night shop, but otherwise it's a perfect casual (and affordable!!) Korean spot.

What a chill spot listening to Kpop while enjoying our fav Korean dishes! Applauding the service ~ welcoming, friendly, prompt with drinks and refilling the side dishes. Lone server was handling a packed house with ease. Soups were piping hot, perfect on this cold winter day.

I was looking for meal that's made from your friendly korean aunt, which Yelp seemingly advertise it so. Unfortunately, the structure changed about a few weeks ago and now once you walk in, you have to order up front and pay up front before they sit you. It doesn't have that restaurant feel to it anymore. It feels more of a takeout/fast food hub. I ordered a hot stone bibimbap. It's decent. I didn't get the crispy rice that normally goes with it, which is what I generally look for in the hot stone rice. It's still a decent dish. It has all the appropriate veggies. The beef was sparse and kimchi was sparse as well. Perhaps there's a kimchi shortage? Shrug. It's 3/5, but I gave it an extra star for the overall neatness and cleanliness.

Very sad to hear this place is now closed, they had a large menu of Korean diner classics like Jjajangmyun (black bean noodles), spicy pork, glass noodles, and countless soups! We went w/ the black bean noodles and spicy goat soup (which not a lot of Korean places have). I really hope they open back up, portland could use more Korean restaurants that arent just fried chicken or KBBQ. Though if they do I would suggest paring down the menu to focus a bit more on the strong dishes.

Great local Korean spot that serves some delicious Bibimbap. We came here for lunch. Service was a little slow but overall had a great lunch and we will definitely be back soon.

Came here a long time ago when I was in college and I thought the food was pretty good! I really liked the banchan they gave us and the bibimbap did make me happy :) It was a nice, casual Korean spot! The decor was cute also

Yelp
Food is pretty so-so here. There were some good items like their banchans, Cheese Toppokki, and Pajeon but the other dishes we ordered were pretty lackluster. The Sa Chul Tang wasn't as rich as it's supposed to be. We have also had way better Squid Stir-Fry from Korean places in Beaverton. Their menu is pretty eclectic, a mix of Chinese, Korean, and Chinese-Korean with some Japanese options as well. They were pretty generous with their rice portion and service was definitely the main catch here. Regular filling of banchans and oranges after the meal. Super friendly aunties working the floor. I also kinda dig their modern decor. Wouldn't be hurrying back anytime soon for the food but you should at least go experience the friendly people there.

Yelp
Sad to leave a low review but we tried an assortment of dishes, and nothing really stood out. The appetizers were a bit underwhelming and the tteokbokki skewers had a hint of barbeque sauce. Jjajangmyeon noodles also tasted a little overcooked, but the portions were plenty (shared with a friend). Side dishes were good, we enjoyed the green beans. Soondubu broth was lacking some flavor, and they charged extra for rice too. Staff was super friendly, although one of the waiters seemed to be confused with our orders throughout our visit. Hoping they will continue to make improvements and receive good customers!

I was really excited to try this place because I loved the happy bibimbap house in Salem but I was very disappointed. The food itself was good but the service was terrible. The woman serving my table was very rude and got mad at us for not reading our order to her without saying the category first then the item. We then waiting over an hour for our food. We were going to leave but she told us the food was about to come out so we waited but it wasn't until another 20 minutes that our food finally came. The party before us was already paying their bill before we even got our food. We ordered bibimbap, soup, and kalbi which are the same dishes we ordered down in Salem but they were way faster and so much nicer. I'd love to come back but I don't think I want to risk receiving the same poor service.

Coleen P.

Yelp
I really hate leaving less than stellar reviews but this place was very disappointing. First and foremost, we ordered the Soon Doo Boo and the broth was just so dilute and had no flavor. Also, the galbi was very fatty and chewy :( On top of this, the service was very poor and slow. We ordered beers and not only were these forgotten but when we kindly reminded our server about this she brought the wrong beers. So subpar food and bad service unfortunately earns this restaurant a 2 star. We will not be coming back.

Taisiya S.

They remodeled and it looks so nice inside. I love Korean food and these people are so kind. I ordered their Soon Doo Boo tofu soup w/ kimchi. Im used to it having an egg added to it and Im not sure why they don't but it was still good. I like the amount of spice and the sourness of it. It was a great post work out meal. They even gave me a scallion pancake with a sweet bible verse message on it. I don't eat flour so I gave it to my hubs when I got home. While I waited they also gave me the cutest lil orange with an umbrella. Oh I hope people come and try this darling lil spot out with these very kind people who own it.

Happy Bibimbap House has had a rough ride this past year and a half or so, due to COVID. Initially opening right before the first COVID shutdown in 2020, they've stuttered along valiantly, despite all the stop/starts as lockdowns were rescinded, only to be renewed weeks later. 18 months later, I guess you could call this their Grand Re-Re-Re-Opening? Regardless, they managed to survive, persisting where other places threw in the towel, and Portland is a better city for their perseverance. We were seated immediately, and the charming owner was extremely courteous, friendly and helpful, explaining the troubled path they've trod to make it to this reopening, noting (very apologetically) certain items that were not available due to supply chain shortages, as they warmed up to full operation, and even interacting with and engaging our kids in conversation. A nice personal touch that is very welcome. No strangers to Korean cuisine, we ordered Bulgogi and LA Galbi short ribs to grill in the embedded hibachi, complete with side dishes such as kimchi, daikon, sprouts, green beans, and more. This order was robust enough to feed my wife and one and a half kids; the other half was covered by an order of Avocado rolls from the sushi bar. My own Kimchi Jigae, a sort of spicy tofu and kimchi stew (with beef as my protein choice), was utterly fantastic; I had to fend off my wife's sneaky attempts to steal my tofu! Throughout the meal, the owner returned several times to check on us, engage in polite chatter, monitor the status of our grilling, lending assistance, and entertaining the kids. His wife made an appearance shortly thereafter, bringing a small selection of side dishes (fried eggs, and sweet potatoes) that we had not ordered, but that they offered gratis, simply for us (mostly the kids) to try. One of our sons devoured an entire bowl of sweet potatoes, which were rapidly replenished. None of this was charged to us - it was simply a gesture of good will and incredible customer service! The meal finally concluded, a tray of halved, portioned oranges with decorative umbrellas arrived as dessert, and were, once more, devoured by the kids in record time. An unexpected but welcome finish to an excellent dinner! The food at Happy Bibimbap House earns five stars on its own, but the service here puts it well over the top. They deserve all the praise lavished on them thus far, and I wish them good luck, continued success, and no more shutdowns or false starts!

The service was so great and the food is nothing to shake a stick at. We came in and the staff asked if we were familiar with Korean food and made sure if we had any questions they were addressed. The banchan was so good! They had my favorites Gamja Bokkeum and konngamul and they were perfection. The only thing that wasn't great was the cheese on the tteokbokki, the tteokbokki great, the cheese meh. I will be visiting anytime I'm in the area!

When I first ate here in 2018, the food was great and the staff was super nice. I am happy to say that three years later and after Covid lockdowns that the food and service here are still great. A friend and I ate here today. The staff was courteous, helping us find our way in and offering us water and side dishes (steamed egg, broccoli, Kim chi, radishes and spouts) right after we sat down. I had the Dol Sot Bimbimbap which arrived in a hot stone bowl whose contents was audibility sizzling (reminding me of fajitas or saganaki). It was really good, particularly the sauce and the super crispy rice at the bottom of the bowl. The kimchi complemented this dish very well. My friend ordered the combo with the chicken bulgogi. The combo came with salad, sushi and dumplings which were beautifully presented on a lacquered tray. This was her first time at a Korean restaurant and she really liked the food. The food arrived quickly. The staff checked on us regularly without it feeling intrusive or obnoxious. They didn't rush us and let us take our time paying the check. The price was very reasonable. Also the location in Hollywood Transit Center is very convenient for those who take Trimet. I was really happy with my experience here and hope to be back soon.

I know that if I order something that I'm not sure of and then don't like it, that's on me. I got the kimchi hot pot--lots and lots of cabbage, tasty spicy broth, and 3 3-inch piece3s of fish, my protein choice. Likewise Tony was disappointed that the bibimbap was mostly rice, Best part was all the little appetizers, not just the cold pickled veggies, but a slice of the pancake and a bubbling dish of some egg thing. Very friendly service. A great value--especially if you order something you know you like.

This place is delicious. They have lots to choose from. I got the sushi burrito. It's basically a sushi roll not cut up. It was yummy. My son ordered the Oregon roll. It's spicy but has great flavor. My daughter ordered the poke salad. She said it was scrumptious. We can't wait to go back. They have Korean bbq tables. I can't wait to try.

Sorry, I want to say nice things about this place.. it was decorated so cute. That cashier was brand new. She could not answer any questions, and did not offer to ask anyone else. Ordered beef bibimbap. It was completely burnt on the bottom. The rice was black and charred (the part I could scrape from the bottom). Just a few small pieces of beef. So DRY. They provided soy sauce only. No red Korean sauce. I really wanted to like this place because it was so cute. There is another Korean place just a few doors down. It is not as cute, but food is really really good. Go there.

We came here for delicious food many times. But today will be our very last time. They have changed and not for the better. Now, you have to order at the front before sitting down. The menu has changed - hardly anymore Korean foods, and has become like a stupid Panda Express 2.0 menu. We ordered Ja Jiang Mein - hardly any pork, loaded with onions. Gyozas - fried in old rancid oil. Salmon Poke Sushi Burrito - rice was crunchy, like it was made from leftover rice from the bottom of the rice cooker. The only yummy dish was the marinated cucumber banchan. That was "free". Worse yet, the girl taking the order was full of 'tude. When asked about what kind of chicken was on the rice bowl, whoa, why the attitude when answering? At least, know what's being served and answer like you like your job. We miss the sweet korean servers who worked here. Anyway, Happy Bibambap House...you guys lost a few customers today.

If I could give this place more stars I definitely would. The service, food, and atmosphere were amazing. All the banchan was perfectly made. I could taste the love and effort that she put in. Honestly felt like it was a family dinner with good food and good vibes. The ajimas were so kind to us and made us feel so welcomed. I would honestly say this is my favorite Korean spot. 100/10 would recommend!

Sherylita M.

Yelp
Nice folks, but the food wasn't exceptional or even mediocre. One of the staff members was having a very loud phone conversation 6 feet behind us, which also distracted from a quiet dining experience.

Brittany J.

What a lovely little spot with the nicest service & owners! I was craving something different for lunch so I stopped in for their bibimbap and it was solid. You even get a trio of kimchi's & steamed egg before which was a nice touch. The portion was a lot for $10 during lunch. Their menu is pretty diverse so I'd like to try something else next time. I'll be back!

Alana K.

Yelp
The fact that you can still find places that will feed five people adequate and quality meals for $50 is astonishing. Tack on excellent service and you definitely have my attention and repeated patronage. This is just such a place. The dol sot bibimbap with tofu was delicious. The house spicy sauce is a must. The complimentary pajeun and banchan were excellent, and our hosts kept them flowing. The refreshing watermelon at the end of our meal was also most welcome, though we hardly had room for it by then, even after packing up our leftovers for later. The women running the show were so sweet and efficient. I'll come back when I'm next in Portland, and I won't make the mistake of driving by their parking lot this time (though neighborhood street parking was easy to come by on a weekday).

Liked it. In town for a few days. I am Korean American so had authentic Korean food many times. Food here is good. Service was good. It is very clean. Will definitely come back.

A bit hard to get there and park, yet this was really good stuff. I am a nut for Bi Bim Bap so I was in heaven. Wife wanted the onion pancake and a salad and she was happy. Great friendly staff anxious to accommodate. I want to go back to try some other stuff on their menu.

Dave R.

Yelp
One of the best Korean restaurants ever. I was introduced to Korean cuisine when I was working in Manhattan for a couple of years and I became a bit spoiled by the excellent food there. I am happy to say that Happy Bibimbap House is as good as anything you'll fine in NYC. The service was quick and friendly, the space was spotlessly clean, and they close on Mondays to feed those in need. I've enjoyed everything I've ordered, particularly the Dol Sot Bibim Bap, Soon Doo Boo, and Korean Curry. Honestly I'd give them 5 stars even if they weren't also a charitable organization. But since they are, that earns the six stars out of five in my opinion.

Aivy N.

Yelp
Hands down the best Korean restaurant in Portland, with super friendly and hospitable staff! The prices were extremely reasonable especially with the amount of food that was served! We ordered a spicy pork combo, and it came with a salad, 4pcs of avocado cucumber sushi, gyoza, and rice! We also ordered their special clay pot bibimbap and mini hotdog and rice cake skewers which is highly recommended and well worth a try! Will definitely be coming back.

Ally F.

Yelp
This place is perfect for a date night because you will feel spoiled. They don't skimp on appetizers and presentation, and the food is delicious. Our highlights were the shumai and the bibimbap. The little oranges at the end were the cutest ever. The owner was very hospitable and kind.

13 dollars for avocado roll that's ridiculous and for it to just be more rice than avocado...

Dasha S.

Yelp
Love this spot. Been here about 4-5x, every time the food is great and the prices are unbeatable. The jjajangmyeon (sorry if spelling isn't correct) is particularly delicious, as well as the variety of soups. Some of the items on the drink menu aren't served so keep that in mind when ordering. This is my go-to spot for Korean food in the city, a gem since there aren't many to start with and half of them are subpar.

Why I love this Restaurant: 1. Draft beers!!! Never heard before in Korean restaurants! 2. Price is right!!!! Dolsot Bibimbao for 10.99! Unheard of!! I pay $22 at AjiTran in LO! 3. Best Dolsot Bibimbap. Perfect flavor with the right amount of spice. 4. The bidet toilet!!! You gotta try it!!! 5. Amazing service. Got to meet the chef! I recall readin about her! She serves free Korean food on Mondays to the poor!! I love her! Just opened on 7/11/2021, happy bibimbap 2 is the Finally long awaited Korean restaurant in Portland. Best so far. No fusion, no gimmick; just plain delicious authentic Korean food... like my mom used to make. We only got to taste the Soondubu and Dolsot bibimbap, but can't wait to come back for the rest of the menu.

First time visiting this Korean Restaurant base on Yelp's reviews, and I have to say, my fellow Yelpers are right! They are GOOD! Our Lunch: Bibimbap with Chicken: An iconic Korean one bowl meal, it is also a comfort food for many! The BBB served here is truly outstanding with all the ingredients balancing each other in harmony! Rice is not soggy and is cooked al dente to give the right texture. Blending in the Gochujang gives it the perfect spiciness and an extra kick to the whole dish! And yes, as it comes in a Hot Stone Bowl, you will get the rice crispy that is so so good at the end!! Kimchi Stew with Mackerel: I fell in love after one sip of the broth!! It filled your mouth with pure "Umami"from the Mackerel, the blend of the tangy kimchi, the sweetness of the vegetables, all came together for a savoury broth! The homemade kimchi is more on the tangy side here which gives the stew a lighter feel and goes really well with rice and the banchans! Service is very warm and friendly, the Korean lady especially was very kind to us and kept asking if we need anything else or if we wanted extra banchan, she even showed us how to mix some of the pickled radish into the BBB to make it extra tasty! We also saw that the owners here are very community minded, as they would dedicate special times during the week to cook for the homeless to help out fellow human beings! This is such an honourable thing to do in todays world where poverty is so apparent in larger cities such as Portland!!

BEWARE! I was so excited to try this place, it was my coworker birthday so we had 3 different ordered. We ordered online and picked 12:15 for our pick up. Once I was there I was told my order nor my coworkers orders were never received and they do not take orders from their own website. I asked the lady multiple times if she could make me the food or if I could get a refund. She refused to help me. I was doing my best not to raise my voice but she just ignored me. My coworker came in and she was also getting ignored. I couldn't believe how she treated us. I honestly feel because of my hispanic culture she treated us differently. There was multiple white people who came in and were helped right in front of our face. She even took a phone call. And we stood there. Seriously disappointing.

Erik M.

Yelp
This is an amazing restaurant run by kind and very generous people. The marinated cucumber appetizer was lovely and the kimchi flavorful and so mild my GF even loved it. The stone bowls are excellent and crisp up the rice the longer you let it sit. The marinated beef was outstanding. The service was SO attentive AND these people help feed the homeless on Mondays. Everything is fresh and flavorful. These folks are wonderful and a shining star in their community.

Been meaning to try this place for so long and happy I did! It was 10/10 with service and food. We ordered the BibimBap w Beef, Yokisoba with Chicken, and the Soon Tofu Soup w Pork. It was all good. Would try the Soon Tofu with Kimchi next time though as I think it would add extra flavor. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Finally ! A place that has legit jjajangmyun (black bean noodles). Somehow this ubiquitous Korean dish has tasted so wrong in so many different ways all across the US until I had a bite at HBH2. Felt just like home I almost teared up. Along with the owner's generous inshim (hospitality/heartfelt care) in the side dishes and service, fun ambiance, and BTS music videos playing for the Army out there, I know I'll be back whenever I'm craving a good ole bowl of jjajiang. Their kanpoong shrimp tasted legit, too.

Yelp
Remarkable! I have never felt so welcomed and taken care of by a Korean restaurant like this one. The care, love, passion is overflowing in every aspect of this restaurant. The location, price, decor, food, and service exuded this. The food itself is unbelievably delicious. Please, eat at this restaurant. They deserve every bit of business they get.

Louanne F.

Yelp
I absolutely love this place! Don't be fooled by all of the whacky posters outside and assume this place isn't good. Give them a try and you'll fall in love with this place like I did. Not only is the food good, the people who work here are great too! They volunteer every Monday to serve the homeless population in Portland. They believe in giving back to their community and not every business is in business for that reason. The service is great and they even have a service button you can push. I always feel bad when I use the button, but the servers will happily come to you to try to make any accomodations. I've tried a variety of the food and everything was delicious! My favorite dish is the Sam Ge Tang soup, they give you a whole chicken in the soup and it's served with rice. I came specifically for this soup a few days after removing my wisdom teeth because I was so tired of everything I had. The soup still tasted great even when I was in pain. Also they provide complimentary Korean side dishes and a piece of scallion pancake for each person before your meal and an orange after your meal!

Came here for dinner around 6. This place is located at a busy intersection. Parking garage available and may be tricky to enter. Staff was Welcoming. Place is inviting. Atmosphere was quiet. They had Piano music playing. We were served 5 side dishes and a slice of the onion pancake. Happy bibimpap dishes came out just as pictured. Love the runny egg! Then to top off with a cute little orange and umbrella! The call buttons on the tables don't work but you just need to flag the staff down to get their attention. We recommend this place and will be back to try other dishes!

I was so excited to try this place after moving to the neighborhood and seeing how highly rated it was. I ordered the tofu bibimbap bowl, wanting to go for something classic to start (I am vegetarian so meat options are off the table). It was quite disappointing. Most of the bowl was mediocre, but the most disappointing part was the tofu which was plain, unseasoned, raw cubes just cut up straight out of the package. Do people think vegetarians don't have taste buds? Bowl also came with a scallion pancake on the side which was super doughy and greasy. Food was 2 stars but I'm adding a 3rd star because the service was really good and the person on the phone was very helpful when I asked about veggie options.

Lynne D.

Yelp
This was impressive. The service was above and beyond expected. The Dol Sat Bibimbap was hot and crispy. Jap Chae was perfectly done!! Definitely a go to place in Hollywood. Complimentary egg custard was a perfect starter

Newly reopened spot we stopped by because another Korean restaurant nearby was closed to indoor dining. Boy were we glad we did because this place was excellent. The owner and his partner were very friendly and accommodating. They kept refilling our banchan because I kept eating it up. Wished they had beef gimbap but the veggie was okay. Bulgogi in my combo box was so tender and flavorful. Generous portions of food. Bibimbap came in the stone bowl, very hot & tasty.

Came here for a comfort food meal with a friend and it was pretty good! We had a dolsot bibimbap, some jajangmyun, and yukgaejang. The jajangmyun was less sweet and more salty, which is the way I like it, and the other two were pretty standard. The place is understaffed though--there were only two older ladies waiting on tables while we were there, so it was a pretty long wait, but they were so nice! They also kept checking our banchan and even gave us a steamed egg on the house. 4/5 for good standard fare at a reasonable price! The area can get sketch at night and is all street parking.

The servers we had were so sweet and made us feel at home. They fed us SO WELL! Our meal was so cheap considering the portions and all of the side dishes. Definitely a great place to bring a group of friends.

So bummed having to leave a bad review, but the food was just not good. Coming from LA, expectations may have been too high, but we ordered the Galbi Combo and the gal I meat was fatty and seemed like it just sat in marinade too long. I'm also used to more of a sweet, soy sauce type of marinade and the one here just tasted like sweet ginger. The combo was a good deal though since it came with rice, fried dumplings, California roll, and a salad as well. My favorite thing was probably the fried dumplings. Even the rolls tasted bad because the rice they used didn't seem fresh. Unfortunately will not be back. The servers were very kind though and attentive.

I brought my 86 year old mother with me to check out the food here. We both thought their Pork Jajang mien and Seafood Champong was delicious. We definitely will go back when we crave for the noodles. Great service, delicious side dishes.

Love this place, always great service, yummy sides and clean experience. The staff make great recommendations and we come fairly regularly to try new things too. Hard not to love it.
