KIM JONG GRILLIN

Founded in 2009, Kim Jong Grillin is a Portland food cart institution by Han Ly Hwang noted for its bold Korean flavors and high quality ingredients. Han’s menu runs the gamut: from bibim boxes, kimchi fried rice, and traditional Korean BBQ, to his award-winning hot dog at the downtown food cart and wild takes on fast food burgers, crunchwraps, and fries in Happy Valley.

With mentions in Bon Appétit, Eater Portland, and Portland Monthly, KJG has cemented itself as one of Portland’s premier food destinations over the last decade and a half since opening. And it’s gotten even better: the new Happy Valley sit-down restaurant features a badass mural wall and Han’s own collection of Korean movie posters and anime figurines. So swing by the restaurant or the OG food cart on West Burnside and try for yourself. We hope to see you soon.
