The Bulgogi + Dukuhbee Noodle

To say that the noodles were good would be like saying Niagara Falls is kind of pretty. There is that tentative moment before you bite into a dish, if you pay attention where your heartbeat goes up a little and you experience a kind of culinary suspense. You kind of cast yourself into an intimate relationship with your tastebuds like a first date when you are lonely. A moment filled with trepidation where you have been hurt before. It’s why so many settle for a safe marriage instead of a passionate one, why people go to the same restaurant for years instead of reaching for the sublime. Those beef noodles are tremendous! They are substantial without being fat, they are chewy and real. The sauce was exactly right, a hot and savory blend that hit the tongue like a long lost child returning to their mother. It just fit, right there with the noodles like a horseman wearing the perfect winter’s coat, safe and comforting. The beef was beyond tender and melded into the dish like music melds into a passionate and earthy dance. Can you tell I am impressed? It was honestly one of the best noodle dishes I have ever had. I was brought to the floor and as an old grappler, I can tell you it ain’t that easy to take me down! It was so good. Do I have a beef? Other than the gentle succulence of the meal I had, well yes. I prefer fountain drinks or real iced tea to cans of soda. This, I feel is a short cut that many creative restaurants are taking, it saves time and work, but it takes the edge off a perfect meal. The owners have forgotten this, the beverage is an important product… just “Give them a Coke” is a wasted moment, a pat answer. And beyond that, no ice in the house. But does it take away points? No. Because the food really is that good! I find myself thinking about that dish, it’s kicking around in the back of my mind, like old memories of baking bread, or the look in the eye of a stranger you wished you had spoken to. I love doing reviews, but I am like that Lothorio who never rests, must always seek perfection. There are too many new experiences and it’s hard to look back, hard to go backwards instead of the forward hunt! But even adventurers need a really safe place, an excellent and safe harbor for when they need a little culinary love. And this is one of those places. I will go again and I will bring friends!

I found this place based on Google Maps reviews. Simply put, it was an Asian fusion restaurant. I read some reviews, and a few people mentioned that the taste was authentic, but actually, it was only for specific dishes. We ordered Beef Bibimbap (with extra meat) and tofu noodles. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were sufficient for one person. In terms of taste, the bibimbap was authentic, but the tofu noodles were bland and not reflective of Korean cuisine. I think this restaurant is more suited for non-Korean customers.

Yummy as always. I love kimcki mandu. And this time tried beef bulgogi dinner set. RECOMMEND 100%. My favorite is hand pulled noodles 😋🤤

Food was amazing. When I looked at the menu there was only 4-6 dishes, which I thought was amazing. This place specializes in a few dishes because they make them with great care. They specifically specialize in stir fried hand made noodles! Owner recommended us to order it, we did and they were amazing. We also ordered the bibimbap which was also so so good. It’s not super traditional Korean food, but more like fast/takeout style. Still very very good. Owner was so nice and friendly too🥹!! We will make sure to pick up food from here when we visit PDX.

I ate there with my family. The food was very good and tasty. We like it very much.

I recently dined at The Bulgogi + Dukuhbee Noodle, and it was a fantastic experience! The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced, showcasing the rich tradition of Korean cuisine. The portions were generous, and the presentation was inviting. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff who made the experience even better. If you’re craving comforting food with bold flavors, this spot is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

If you’re a noodle lover, this place is a dream come true. The Dukuhbee noodles are fresh, hand-pulled, and wonderfully chewy—a testament to the skill that goes into making them. The bulgogi is a great addition, but honestly, those noodles could shine on their own with just about anything. The portions are generous, and the balance of flavors is spot on. It’s a small joint, but it has a big personality, with friendly service that makes you feel right at home.

An amazing dining experience at The Bulgogi + Dukuhbee Noodle! The Chicken Bulgogi was tender and full of flavor, perfectly seasoned. The Bulgogi Fried Rice was just as delicious, aromatic, and packed with savory bulgogi bits. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Korean cuisine. Can't wait to return for more of these tasty dishes!
