The food was incredibly flavorful. We ordered the hot pot, and the broth was by far the most delicious and rich I’ve had anywhere. I’ve been to other hot pot restaurants, but this one truly stood out. The owner was so friendly and even came to our table to offer to make a custom sauce for us from the wide selection of ingredients. It enhanced everything, and I honestly wish there were words to fully describe how good it was. The total for 4 came to $132 and we ordered more than enough for us.

Our first experience at Sun Korean was wonderful! I’ll be getting relatively in-depth with this review, so reference just the following notes if you’re wanting an at-a-glance summary:
– Food was delivered fast and plentifully.
– Service was incredible (our server, Heather, was a superstar!)
– The broth is remarkable.
Now, for those interested in more detail (all food will be given a ranking out of 10):
We had called ahead of time asking about reservations- and they said it was walk-in only. However, upon arrival, they were prioritizing those with reservations… which was confusing. Regardless, they made accommodations (after a short wait) and believe me: the wait was worth it.
We placed two orders of Takoyaki (7.5) and one of fried mushrooms (8.5), and both came out within 10~ minutes of ordering, which were delivered by a cute little robot. The Takoyaki could have been a little crunchier but were healthily sized and well-seasoned. The fried mushrooms were perfectly crunchy, subtly seasoned, and were simply an excellent vegetarian option.
The drinks came out next! We ordered a bunch of bubble teas- two large coconuts (4), one large Thai (4) and a small honeydew (8). The honeydew was excellent, not too sweet and well flavored. Unfortunately, one of the coconuts and Thai both suffered from tasting very diluted.
After asking our server, Heather, she INSISTED on remaking my Thai iced tea and said the coconut would be free of charge. After dashing off, she bolted right back with two (two!) re-made small iced teas, one Thai and one honeydew- both of which were free of charge!! The Thai was better flavored, but still lacked sweetness. The honeydew, however, was perfect.
As another small bonus, the remade teas also had much less ice.
Now, for the meat of the meal!:
The hot pot ingredients (all featured in the attached pictures) came out not much later, and included generous portions for the price with very pretty presentations. The broths- hot and sour (9) and a vegetarian variant of the golden chicken (8)- were finely seasoned and paired well with all manner of the lovely sauces provided.
Now, for the extra notes!:
– Atmosphere was simple- not anything crazy, but didn’t feel lacking, either. 6.5/10.
– The sauces, though delicious, were unmarked? A small name with a description would be helpful addition.
– As always, I like to review the restrooms- and these were.. fine, I guess? For once, I have nothing to say. 5/10.
– No soda or desserts were on the menu. If you don’t like bubble tea and don’t/can’t drink alcohol, you’ll find your options sparse. Additionally, those with sweet tooths might be out of luck.
– I feel the need to reiterate how excellent our server (and the service in general) was. Smiles, speed, and sweetness all around. 9/10!!!
All in all, for our first time trying hot pot, Sun Korean has set the bar very high. Though they’re still fresh, and still definitely working out some of the kinks that come with that- they’re set to grow into such a treat of a restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back, hopefully once they’ve fully settled in. Currently Sun Korean gets a 7.5/10 overall from me, but I wholeheartedly believe that rating to spike to a 9 within hopefully just a few months. 5 stars!!!✨

Welp, my first experience with a hot pot. I didn’t know what to expect. Heather was very kind and helpful. The quality of the food was about a 3. I was reminded of the children’s book “Stone Soup” and I have to wonder how you can have “Korean” in your restaurants name AND NOT have any kimchee, oh the shame!!
Condiments?: aside from being low to empty, having a “bar” in the back doesn’t really bode with us fat foodies who lament having to get up to get them. Any way to get them to the table? On a positive note the vegetables were fresh, the tea aromatic, and the service was fast. I might have to give it another chance picking other menu items and perhaps will bring my own kimchee…I will share if you ask nicely!

Well designed interior and adequate service.
BBQ Squid appetizer was a miss for us. Large squid tubes were like chewing on rubber tire so a definite miss.
Chashu Pork and Crispy Chicken bowls for our entrees. Both bowls were decent with the broths a bit nondescript till I wandered over to the sole condiment station to tweak it to our taste. Pork belly was hard to cut since was sliced so thin. The eggs were perfectly done.
We may come back again.

It was fun picking out our 2 broths, 2 meats & 5 veggies & cooking them ourselves in the broths once they were boiling. Lots of choices on the menu, food was fresh & our server was available and attentive.

We’ve been waiting for a hotpot place to reopen in Portland for some time, and this place definitely delivers. Fantastic broth, awesome quality meats and fun presentation. While they only had two people working the floor, the service was still excellent. Put this place top of your list for your next night out!

Such an amazing hot pot experience! The broth was delicious and the meats are great quality and very good portion sizes. Staff was so friendly as well and seeing the little robot bring our food just added to the experience. Definitely coming back as soon as I can!

So happy to have this Korean spot in the area! The food is absolutely delicious with generous portions that leave you full and satisfied. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming—it really feels like they care about every customer. You can tell they put a lot of love into what they do. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!

Food was great. Food came out very fast. Still working out some new restaurant bugs but I will definitely return. Oh and you can’t really tell but that last photo is a food delivering robot.
