The Best New Restaurants in Portland, June 2025 | Eater Portland

"Once the late-night rolls around, it’s hard to beat suites of dae-pos — like soju highballs — and plate after plate of spicy tteokbokki and kimchi pancakes. That’s the gap Moon Pocha is set to fill, debuting what restaurateur Tommy Shin calls his “Korean tapas” spot in mid-March. Eating here ranges from $9 to $25, and certainly pound for pound, especially in this economy, that’s an unstoppable deal." - Zoe Baillargeon

Their fried chicken and jap chae are amazing. One of the best jap chae we've ever had. Loved the kimchi and the banchan as well. Their cocktails were also delicious. Especially the Seoul old fashion. The service was great, better than some Michelin restaurants I've been to.

We popped in shortly after landing in Portland from LA and our server was incredibly nice and had great recommendations! My favorites were the fresh crispy kimchi and the drunken soup but everything was great. The cocktails were yummy and overall the vibes were excellent! We sat outside and it was perfectly lively.

This is very tasty and unique Korean food I been tried. My partner and I went there around 10:40pm. All the staffs are very friendly and great service. My only concern is that I didn’t get any side dishes like all other Korean restaurants. Maybe I have to ask for it? All of the Korean restaurants/bar have little even 1 or 2 free side dishes. Those are one of my big reasons to love Korean food . Besides side dishes, the food and service are great 👍

Hazy Seocho was top notch. Their cocktail menu is on point. It is still hard to find creative cocktail using Korean products in Portland but I am glad they are doing it! The food was amazingly delicious. Spicy chicken with corn and cheese was nostalgic food to me. I will definitely visit again🙏🏼

This place was awesome, seemed super authentic, fast service, the chef is Korean and is legit!! He came out and greeted us brought us some delicious plates! Can’t wait to be back, also the bar tender lady was wonderful and made some great drinks. I had never tried Soju drinks and now I am a fan!

Brought my partner here for a great meal before our movie around the corner. Friendly staff, very knowledgeable, with just the right amount of attentiveness. Delicious flavors throughout the dishes: Fried Chicken, Lamb, Cucumber Salad, Cheese Corn, Flavor was adequate: Vegan Kimchi. My partner is gluten free and dairy free and able to eat 3 of the 5 dishes listed above, and there were more unexplored options for them on the menu. Each had an N/A speciality drink. One was great, the other was so-so. Excited to return in the future and so glad this option is in the neighborhood.

Overall: 4.5/5.0 ____________________________________ *Food: 2. Creamy Tofu Bites - Light sauce, good portion to share - 10/10 3. Crispy Garden Jeon - Light on batter(good that it’s not like a pancake), good amount of vegetables - Could be crispier - 8/10 5. Spicy Tteok-Bokki - Good portion, soupy base, decently spicy and sweet - 9/10 6. The Fried Chicken - Galbi Soy Sauce: Sweet soy sauce glaze, slightly strong ginger flavor, stayed crispy despite the excess sauce - Gochujang Sauce: Gochujang glaze, similar flavor profile as galbi soy, slightly strong ginger flavor, stayed crispy despite the excess sauce - Both sauces taste great, could have a little different flavor profiles. Two sauces tasted similar except for the spice level. - 8/10 12. “Lil” Fire Chicken - Good amount of spice, cheese helps with spice, good amount of cheese - 10/10 ____________________________________ *Service: - Sat at around 8:00pm, ordered at 8:10pm, food and drinks came out around 8:20pm, servers came around frequently to check on any needs. Friendly servers, food quality is overall great. ____________________________________ *Atmosphere: - Overall very much satisfied. Food quality was great, restaurant was aesthetically pleasing and clean. Reasonably priced and reasonable portions. Again, friendly servers, quite fast food output. Probably top tier casual Korean food with good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Would recommend if I was asked which Korean restaurant to go to casually.

the food here was great, but the service really stole the show. the staff was incredibly hospitable and attentive. they even treated us to corn husk tea at the end of our meal and thoughtfully brought out a bag with handles for our to-go boxes without us even needing to ask!
