DKB has been around since I was in high school! That's like... 10 years! I think my first shot of soju was taken at this place, haha. We used to call it "po jang macha," which is like a form of a snack stall in Korea. They look like tents in the Korean street food scene. DKB used to be owned by Koreans, but now it's under Chinese ownership. The food is mostly Korean, but has a Chinese twist to it now. Honestly, it's just OK. Open late so it's a good place to come for a late night snack, to sober up, or have some drinks. My favorite thing here is the spicy noodles with squid. I'm not sure if it's "hand pulled" like other reviews say, but it is really chewy. The jo gye tang (clam soup) is refreshing, as well. Korean food is not about small portions and delicateness... It's hearty and Koreans like hearty portions! But for the price you pay here, it's pretty small. And when you come with bigger parties like I do (8 or more people) you usually have to order 2 of each. I wouldn't come for dinner. We come for drinks and think of everything as appetizers. Don't expect super clean and spacious either. Anyway, it's worth checking out if you've never been before.

We tried it out today after hearing good things about it and good things on yelp. We ordered their chicken noodles which were amazingly good. I am craving for them already again right now. My kids who normally don't eat spicy ate it too and really liked it. We asked for mildly spicy though cause of the kids but next time we want to order a plate for them and a very spicy one for us. The noodles were nice and chewy, very fresh. We also ordered the spicy squid, which was very tasty and their beef dish which was good too. The portions aren't extremely big, but decent size and the only thing I would prefer is they have more side dishes cause they only have 2. But their kimchee is very good, spicier than other places we've tried. We will definitely go again and next time try their kimchee pork and the dumplings and ofcourse get their noodles again.

This is a great little inexpensive whole in the wall in Beaverton. The hand pulled noodles are pretty good for Portland. I gave this place 4 stars since there are a few place in Vancouver, BC which are a bit better. We got great service the 3-4 times we have been there and sometimes the service is a little slow when they were really busy but that's understandable. They would make the food really spicy if you ask them and explain to them you could handle it. The problem they have is that customers would ask for the food really spicy and then complain that the food is too hot and they can't eat it. Also korean hot peppers aren't as hot as some other varieties used in other south east asian cuisines.

Their hand pulled noodles are the best I've ever had! The dumplings are really flavorful and the short ribs are delicious. The dining room is tiny but we've never had a problem getting a seat. Perfect for night owls

it. literally. is. a. hole. in. the. wall. the hand made noodles were faaantasticcc!!! my recommendation is to stick to the chinese dishes at Du Kuh Bee and go next to to Nak Wan for korean dishes. i wish there were more vegetarian options. oh... and they are open til 2am! amazing, especially for beaverton... even for portland!

My friend introduced me to this place. They had such a wonderful hand made noodle dish. I live in SE and it takes me 25 minutes to get there by free way. Trust me "the noodle" is worth every minute I drive there. The only down side about this place. This place made me fat. Well, to drive there and back my gas would cost $5 already at least. So I always eat to make sure I have enough food for 3 days in my tummy. Oh yeah, the food is that good so you won't be able to stop.

I really love this place for a late night dinner. The food here is excellent. I'm addicted to their bulgogi and Lemon Souju. Yeah, the portion is kind of small. This is a very small restaurant so it gets pretty pack late at night.

what do I know about Korean food, nothing......... who cares, spicy noodles and dumplings oh my...... this shit is hella good...... I read one review stating this was an "indoor cart", that is pretty much it, I'm one of those guys that doesn't really like to hit places up during their busy times so the first time me and my girl went we got there about 15 minutes after they opened which was perfect, nobody there and we get to take in the strange ambiance of the hallway that ends at the small kitchen............. hey but we got to see the dude pulling the noodles, I mean it was pretty cool compared to watching me pull my noodle ahhahaaaaa, sorry, that has nothing to do with the deliciousness of this place, we have been back several times now, always get the pork noodles mediumly spiced, is that a word? who cares and the dumplings with their somewhat fish saucy dipping stuff........ the young dudes that work there always take your order and you know its almost done when the old lady starts working the pan and the flames get going....... all of this in downtown Beaverton....... went by once around 7 or 8 and this place was bustling, so if you no likey people and bumping elbows you'd better get there early....... I think they are open till like 2 or 3 in the morning so its probably fun to hit it up after you get faded

This is really a hole in the wall like others here have said. We almost walked by it without realizing that it was there. And we were looking for it! It is almost like one of those trendy no-name places that you have be in the "in" crowd to know to get it. Except it really is not. The owner is a really nice Chinese gentlemen who told us that the place has been open for 6 years, and that he has never advertised and he gets a steady stream of regulars. In the couple of hours we were there, I saw that steady stream of Mandarin speaking regulars show up for their meals. Note that this is not really a Korean restaurant, but a Chinese restaurant with some Korean influences. But how good is this place? Their dumplings are really good, and so is their hand-pulled noodles. But we ventured further from this well-known fare and tried the Kim Chee with Tofu dish which was really quite excellent: braised Kim chee with fatty pork paired with silken tofu. We also had the bbq chicken which was also done quite well. The deep fried mackarel is a great starter too: golden crispy met with crunchy edges. But the surprise of the evening was how good the spicy fish soup was. There were big chunky fillets with cabbage kim chee and tofu. It was perfect for a cold rainy night like tonight. One other standout item that probably isn't noticed by most people was how well the white rice was done. You can tell how much a Chinese restaurant cares about preparing its food by the way it prepares its rice. The rice here was piping hot, soft and pillowy. My two year old daughter, who is finicky about what she eats, had multiple servings of the rice. Please do note that this is a small place, and I mean really small. But there is a homey feel to it and what is great is that it is an open kitchen. You can see exactly what is going on in the kitchen and that is rare amongst Chinese restaurants. While I have to say that PDX does not generally do Chinese food well, this is a rare exception.

Watching the old man making noodles is worth coming to this place alone. Most of the food is decent, but the noodles are a home run smash hit. I go back thinking "Ok, I'm going to order something new" and then I see the noodles... it's all over from there. It is tiny, it is packed, it is Koreans speaking a unusual form of English. However, they are extremely grateful to have me as a customer and make me feel this way every time. They also put their heart and soul into every noodle. Can anybody tell me why every Korean/Vietnamese restaurant has a TV for the kitchen?

Horrible service waiter was upset because my daughter and I sat at an empty table because there was no one to seat us. Once the waiter saw us he looked up and showcased frustration by being passive aggressive with us, and I asked him right away if he wanted me to leave he said no and turned around so I get up and left and he saw that I was leaving started apologizing this is the first review I have ever written it just made me so upset because I use to like coming here I guess no I will look for a new Korean place.

Everything was so good! We got the prawn and hand pulled noodles, baby bok choy, and spicy noodle soup. Our server helped us choose because we were newbies and we loved every bite. We will definitely be back :)

We've eaten here once and had take-out twice. This is great food and particularly awesome given the late hours in a town that goes to bed early. We've ordered the BBQ short ribs and the hand-pulled noodles. Both were so good and properly spicy. Can't wait to try more of the menu and comment further.

Cabbage-paloozah. If you're going to run a hole-in-the-wall establishment, the food better deliver the goods. The food at Du Kuh Bi is good, but it ain't all that. The noodles are really, really good,... the other dishes are okay - heavy on the cabbage short on higher cost ingredients. I'm not gonna wait to eat here again.

For Oregon, I would give this place 4 stars.. however, I was born and raised in L.A., Cali and ate korean food ever since I was in my mom's womb. So.. if I rated this place in L.A., it would get 3... maybe 3.5 stars. My husband's family took me here right when I arrived to Oregon from San Diego. I was excited to try a Korean restaurant, since you don't see that many in Oregon. The interior Decor: Very old school korean style, which i really liked. They even had a bar like area! Service: The employees were very friendly and helpful! Food: We ordered the: *Ja Jjang Myun: it was good.. not the best that I have ever tasted. The noodles though were really amazing! I was very impressed to know that it was hand made and you could really taste the difference. I haven't tasted a lot of places where they make their noodles by hand! The thing that made the dish okay was the sauce. I felt that it wasn't as flavorful and they could have put in more the black paste in there I actually had to ask them for more black paste to mix it up a little. ** I make jja jjang myun at home by scratch** * Kim chee fried rice - Tasteful and pretty good! * Ma bo Tofu like dish - VERY VERY good!! I loved it!!! it was definitely a fusion mix of the chinese version put into a korean plate! * Hot Squid dish - Good! * Kalbi - Very Good! There were more items that we ordered that were really good but can't remember .. Overall, I recommend this place and definitely will return! :)

Delicious hand made noodles! Not once of those fancy restaurants and its very small-but really good food. open late night. They had some kind of mini imported bottled wine which was amazing.

Esther Y.

Came back again, and I stand by my original review. Noodles here are the best noodles in the state of Oregon, and on par with some of the best noodle houses in California. This time, we got: - Shrimp noodles (mild): just as amazing as last time - Kimchi fried rice: excellent - Dumplings: these are actually like xiao long bao's, if you know what those are. Juicy, succulent, overall deliciousness in the mouth. I think you get 8 of them in a plate or more? - Bulgogi: a better value than the kalbi, I think, and still just as tasty - Squid salad: spicy and delicious! The best hole-in-the-wall in Oregon.

Small quaint little family owned korean restaurant. Great for good food and drinks especially late night. Prices are decent. Hand pulled noodles are bomb diggity. Check them out doing this in the open kitchen area.

This place serves up some damn fine food! We braved rush hour traffic on 217 on a Friday night in the rain to get here and boy, was it worth it! When we arrived, there were only a few tables open but none of them would seat the 3 of us. So we ended up at the counter, which was kind of fun as we could watch them cooking everything, but it made conversation pretty difficult. We ordered the dumplings (there were 9 on the plate, so this became an appetizer for us), the sliced beef, and the pork noodles (medium spicy). The dumplings were boiled and served with a dipping sauce that was too thin to actually stick to the dumplings. Too bad, because the flavor was nice. Dumplings themselves were delicious, full of pork and chives and left us wanting more! The sliced beef was served on a scorching hot iron plate, with sliced onions. The beef was really tender but lacked any spice. I added some Sriacha but it would have been better with flavor actually cooked into the meat. My son loved the beef though (actually, he loved all the food, rolling his eyes with each bite). The pork noodles were very good - the noodles were chewy but not doughy, the spice level was perfect for us. They were a bit heavy-handed with the oil in this one though, as we could taste that in each bite - not so great. And probably a bit too much cabbage. Overall, we loved our meal and will be back for more. Portion sizes were a bit on the small side as we didn't have any leftovers. Or maybe that's due to a certain pre-teen growing boy with a huge appetite...Anyway, I want more Du Kuh Bee noodles!

Nice cute little restaurant. The staff is very friendly. I have had the bbq chicken twice and both times they were delicious. I had tried the noodles with shrimp since a lot of people seemed to recommend the noodles. In my opinion they were not as great as I thought they would be. They were very dry so probably wouldn't order them again. I love that this place is open late. A downfall is is that they don't accept American Express.

Kevin L.

Not impressed. Food was decent, but not spectacular. I much prefer the noodles from Frank's Noodle House, and I was disappointed with the Bulgogi Beef. The worst thing though was the wait for the food: we were seated around 6:45, and our food didn't come until nearly an hour later. Not sure why it takes so long. Service was very friendly otherwise, and they appreciated our patience.

Yum! 5+stars for this one!!!!! I saw an article about hand made noodles in the paper and they gave this place a good review. I was curious and decided to try my first korean restaurant and I'm so glad I tried here. The best meal out I've had in a long time. This is a very tiny restaurant with only a few tables. We got lucky and didn't have too long a wait. I would recommend calling if you have more than 4 or you may have a bit of a wait. This place is right next to another. Korean place and this one had the line outside. That tells you something. They bring out kimchi and some radish appetizer. Both tasty, but I'm not too big a fan of kimchi. We ordered the chicken noodles and BBQ chicken. Both were fantastic. The only thing I'd like to see was a small bowl of rice to go along with the BBQ chicken. I don't think it would be quite enough of a meal without it. So glad to have the noodle dish also. The two dishes were perfect for the two of us. While its a bit of a drive, if I'm in the area, I can see myself eating here a lot. If you're in the mood for Korean and are in the area, give yourself a treat and eat here.

Dear Du Kuh Bee (3.5 stars), I always wondered where you are... sitting quietly right next to Nakwon, I never saw you until I arrived in front of your doorstep late Wednesday night. I heard a lot about you. I was expecting to have a delicious late night snack. After all, can any late night snack experience be bad? Honestly, your potato soup, yakisoba, and grilled mackerel weren't bad. Du Kuh Bee, I will give you another chance to redeem yourself because food was just A-OK. Maybe I have experienced better In LA but I thought you were able to change for me. Was my moderately-high expectation too much for you? I will visit again. And this time, for both of us' sake, I want your food to blow me away. Thanks.

Unbelievably authentic and fresh! Their pickled radish was even above and beyond. Would say go for the noodles, because they are made fresh to order, but everything on the menu is probably a winner. I think next time I will try a soup! What a gem in Beaverton!

This place is great. The handmade noodle dish was fresh and really delicious, same with the dumplings. The day we were there they had a special rice cake dish, i think it came with pork belly, which was really good. The service was great and very friendly. Everything about this dining experience was better than Nak Won next door.

Noodles. Get the noodles. Preferably the squid, spicy. The pork and chive dumplings are solid. Expect a wait as this place is tiny and intimate (open kitchen). Enjoy and thank me later. :)

My friend and I went here for dinner with pretty high expectations. The reviews here were pretty good, the decor and ambiance looked pretty authentic, and the smell was good. We got seated very quickly, and were given a jug of water and menus. I thought that was pretty smart because they don't have to keep constant tabs on our water levels. Later on, they gave us kimchi, daikon, and a few other side dishes. There were classic Korean foods, Kalbi, Bulgogi, Spicy Tofu Soup, etc. But what we came here for was the handmade noodles. So we ordered three things: Pork noodles (not actually called this on the menu), mapo tofu, and an octopus dish (grilled octopus with salad). The pork noodles were a bit disappointing. I've had some pretty authentic chinese hand-pulled noodles, and they were not as hard as this. We got this really really spicy (the highest spice level), but it wasn't THAT hot. Maybe we have a large heat tolerance, but it everything but the flavor were below expectations. The noodles were a bit too chewy and hard and the spice level was not as hot as we wanted. But the flavor was good. The dish was enjoyable. The mapo tofu was great. The tofu was silky, the pork was great, and the sauce was very flavorful. The dish brought me some nostalgia to the classic mapo tofu dish that my mom would make. While we were eating this, the table next to ours asked us what dish this was, and ordered one for themselves. The octopus dish was also good. I cannot recall the name of the dish, but it was essentially grilled octopus with some lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, and some other vegetables (kind of like a salad) all mixed with some red pepper sauce that was not very hot. It was a great dish. The octopus was cooked perfectly and the vegetables complemented the octopus well in terms of texture, all providing for a pretty refreshing dish. Something I would have liked more was more octopus in the dish. This was an octopus dish, so I expect WAY more octopus than other things. But the proportion of octopus to vegetables was just a bit over 1:1. Either way, this restaurant had some pretty good flavor. We had pretty high expectations coming in, probably because I come from Southern California, where there are all types of asian foods in every corner of the street. The dishes are reasonably priced. I recommend eating here at least once if you want to try some authentic Korean food.

Best place to go on a rainy day. You can sit at the county sipping your Hite! while you watch the Old Man stringing together his homemade noodles just as he has done for over a thousand years. He never tires. He never gets strung out. The giant cookpots filled with cabbage, pork and noodles simmer over a huge gas range, the flames leaping through the cast-iron crate, warming your bones. Then, you see it. The Old Man smiles...just a little. He knows. You know. Your belly knows.

Being from LA, I am pretty spoiled when it comes to Korean food. Took my gf here on a friday night which was a bad timing. Line wasn't long but you have to remember that this place is tiny. Think about Alice in Wonderland sneeking into that hole. lol. Getting to the point. Coming from a picky eater, I would say the food is decent. I am giving the food alone a 7.2/10. We ordered the kalbi, spicy pork, and dumplings. The spicy pork did not stand out to me so I think I'm just gonna stick with the kalbi next time. Besides the food, the setting is pretty cool. They have a cool kitchen/bar in the back and the fact that it's a tiny mom and pop places that kinda gives you that home dining feeling. The place also makes you feel like you're not in Oregon. Because of the setting, I am bumping this place to 4/5 stars! Kudos to the mom and pops places! P.S. This place has some reasonable prices and works well for cheap dates.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! The restaurant is tiny and depending when you go, there can be quite a wait, so I usually phone in my order to go. I've always ordered the noodles, but recently discovered that their fried rice is DELISH too!

Warm, spicy, chewy delicious noodles and cold rainy weather; is there a better combination?! I think not. These guys continue to provide the goods. 5 STAR noodles.

Benno L.

First try was a hit: the handmade noodles are amazing! The Bulgogi beef was really tender, and had a nice amount of sauce, but not dripping. The spicy cucumber salad was fresh and tasty. But mostly, I loved the "hole in the wall" feel, the decidedly un-hip decor, and the complete lack of men with beards and skinny jeans. Sometimes, things in Beaverton are refreshingly different than the monoculture that now dominates Portland, with its concrete and glass architecture and pretentious menus. Du Kuh Bee gives you a breath of fresh air, away from all that, and provides killer eats at great prices!

Amiee H.

Food: 1) Home made noodles with chicken: pretty good consistency but the flavor wasn't all the way there for me. I think if the dish was flavored a little bit more I would have been in love with the dish! 2) Home made dumplings: pretty good but I think it's pretty standard compared to other home made dumplings I've had so I don't know if I could say these were particularly better Service: Like all other Korean places, the service isn't all that great and they are incredibly hard to get their attention for anything you need but I guess they were pretty busy. Ambiance: Small, hole in the wall place with cozy seating inside. I felt like I was eating in the dining room of some Korean family's house. There was a little TV on the side with Glee playing on it. Felt very much like someone's livingroom or dining room. Price: Pretty cheap for Korean food! I think I would come back but that's just because I'm in love with Korean food and this is probably the best I've gotten to Korean food since I've been in Portland!

I am far from an expert on Korean food, but I am a fan of Du Kuh Bee in "Downtown" Beaverton. The hard-to-find location is worth the effort and getting a seat in the small restaurant is worth your time. The family-run establishment seems to focus on their noodle dishes over barbeque. One cook makes hand-made noodles over an over, so you know the food is fresh. Our group sampled several dishes, including several noodle dishes, Korean short ribs and a sliced beef stir-fry. The short ribs were tasty and succulent, though a bit small. The beef dish was decent, but my least favorite of the night. The noodle dishes were excellent and I suggest going that route if you visit the restaurant. Be careful, though, if you can't handle spicy food. Some of the noodle dishes are spicier than others. I ended up finishing my wife's plate since it was too hot for her. The service was traditionally slow, as many Asian restaurants can be, but the waiters are very nice and try hard. Listen closely as their accents can be thick.

Kimchi L.

I came here when I wasn't hungry and ended up inhaling dumplings, teriyaki rice cakes and the hand pulled noodles. I'm so in love with Du Kuh Bee and I didn't even think I would enjoy a place that was so clearly Korean Chinese fusion. I'm just sad that they're not open earlier in the day since I've driven by twice already trying to get at more hand pulled noodles and some pork hock!

Well-Traveled I.

Du Kuh Bee is small, but what the restaurant lacks in space it makes up for with good Korean food. I love Korean food and I'd have to say this is in my top 5 (I-Ho's Korean Grill in Bozeman, MT is my #1 fave). I went with a group of friends (in total, there were five). I have to warn you, this is not a place for groups of 5-6 or more. However, although we were packed into the corner table, we had front seats to the show going on in the kitchen. First off, you sign your name and party number on a clipboard that's in a mailbox to the right of the door outside of the restaurant. Then, you're called in. Our group ordered many different dishes; I ordered pork dumplings, which we all devoured. The noodles were thick and hearty; the beef flavorful. Portions are quite good, so go with an empty stomach. On a side note, as some mentioned, it is quite loud and you're close to other patrons, but that's what makes it fun.

Hideo M.

I took a chance with Du Kuh Bee through Yelp from their reviews and their rating. I was seated right next to the door. It was a bit small and would've been nice to sit further inside since it felt a little cramped. +Tofu Soup- soft tofu with a light broth and not spicy. -BBQ Ribs-Great but not enough meet. Probably had about 6 pieces of rib meats and piled with onions under the dish. -Grilled Squid-good but didn't look like the picture that it was posted on the wall We received only Kimchee and Daikon but are there suppose to be more side items?

I could write a super long review about all the times we have gone here, sometimes 3 times a week. Instead I will leave you with these fine words: HEAVEN IS A MOTHER FUCKING PLATE OF HAND STRETCHED NOODLES AND GRILLED MEATS!!!!!! Also PORK BELLY! That is all.

I almost gave this place 1 star but that just makes it seem like I'm mad, and I'm not mad at all. Just incredibly disappointed. For a restaurant that says KOREAN BBQ AND SIDE DISHES on their sign, both their BBQ and banchan were lacking. They brought out 2 banchan: weak kimchi... like fresh out of the bag from HMart kimchi and some moo. Kimchi is pretty much standard at any Korean restaurant, and I don't think their moo was worth boasting "AND SIDE DISHES" on their sign. It should really just say "AND SIDE DISH" singular. The BBQ was also weak. No table grills, and I'm pretty sure they use just a flat hibachi-style grill in the back. There was no charcoal or open-flame taste in our galbi at all. The second half of my godeunguh was missing 4/5 of it. It was literally missing. I instagrammed it because it looked so funny. We asked the server what happened to the fish, and he seemed like he didn't know what we were talking about. My guess is: they removed that part of the fish because some of it touches the guts and usually tastes kind of bitter. If that's really the reason why, that's kind of ridiculous to me since anyone over the age of 10 usually eats that part and grows to like it. Even so, if they were just trying to remove that part, they removed way too much. It was literally just the end of the tail left. It seems like from the reviews here, that their noodles are great. They should really change their sign then, to say DU KUH BEE, HANDMADE NOODLES AND SIDE DISH (singular).

Ok, our first trip in here. We have tried before, but it was too busy. Thought that was a good sign, and normally is. We eat and cook Asian food, so we were excited to get in here. I understand the good reviews this place gets as it feels pretty authentic. I dont really get the 5 stars, and maybe it is just me. Perhaps we should have gotten different dishes for our first time through, but I got Spicy Squid, my wife got pork and noodles, son got chicken and noodles. Oh, we got an order of the homemade dumplings. Quite honestly, I make dumplings as good as theirs, but mine are pretty good. No big deal there. Our dishes came out and tasted good. Not great, but pretty darn good. Generally speaking, my belief is that the dishes are a touch too oily. I am not a fat-phobia, but the food came across a bit greasy. This is not necessary. Also, although my dish was named Spicy Squid with Noodles, it probably should have been more acurately named Stir fried cabbage, with some (good) noodles, and wisps of squid. Really, there was not much squid in this dish, and for the price ($12) there should be more. Same for the other dishes- heavy on the stir fried cabbage, some noodles, and dinky amounts of meat. Finally, our dinner for the three dishes (plus the dumplings) was $40 plus tip. That was just too much money for what we got. It was good (pretty good), but Asian food of this caliber should not be that much. Ok, I will give them some for the handmade noodles, but for my money, I will spend a whole lot less at another Asian Rest. Just my thought. One really good criteria for us on how good the restaurant is, is when we get in the car to go home we ask each other if we would go back. I am not sure we would go back again. We did it once, and maybe we got the wrong dishes, but for the money, we will go elsewhere.

I eat here often as I can. Everything I tried is all so good. trust me, I've pretty much tasted everything on the menu that doesn't include pork. But lately, I have been on a vegetarian diet and I love the fact that they have been very accommodating. This place reminds me of sooo many of amazing dive places I've eaten in Korea over the years. You can't go wrong here.. also, make sure to try the rice wine, Muck-gul-li ( it looks like milk).

I tried the dumplings and house noodles. Portions are big but I did not find it equally tasty. However, I am planning to visit this place few more times to try other dishes.

They hand stretch the noodles right in front of you! This place is just plain awesome and delicious. It's so small inside, the kitchen makes up most of the restaurant. They have pictures for almost every item on the menu and the portions are a pretty decent size. The coolest thing about this place is that you can watch them make the noodles from scratch! It's pretty friggin awesome and makes the noodle dishes taste that much better knowing that each individual strand was hand made. This place is open late, so if you hunger late at night, I definitely recommend trying out this place. Try: - napa cabbage and spicy pork - any of the noodle dishes Try at your own risk: - pork hock (was unexpectedly cold, and very rubbery...slipped from my chopsticks and literally bounced back up to my mouth)

Delicious food!!! Enjoyed a tasty cucumber salad and traditional handmade noodles. Definitely coming back and will be telling my friends and family!!!

My favorite restaurant in Beaverton! Get the pork noodles which are homemade and delicious! So good! The spicy cucumber salad goes really well with them too. The dumplings and dipping sauce are also wonderful. As I am leaving, I am thinking I can't wait to come back here. :)

Good food, good service, good prices = 4 stars Small restaurant though! It's kind of weird because I'm so used to traditional korean restaurants here in OC and LA in CA, this place didn't give much any banchan selection, just kimchi and pickled radish. I had the pork/potato stew and my bf had the spicy bbq pork (this was so good!). Very limited menu and quite unique (again, from what I'm used to with traditional korean restaurants). I'm not sure if all OR korean restaurants have this weird American fusion thing going on, but .. anyway, can't complain the food was good. I think I was the only korean eating at the place though! lol.

The handpulled noodles are fantastic. If you are a fan of hot and spicy food, ask them for extra spicy. It's super good! The hot and spicy pork soup is good as well. Skip the grilled food and go straight for the handpulled noodles.

Tuesday, June 22 @ 7:30pm Party of 3 Agenda: EAT and compare with "old" Du Kuh Bee Order: - Stir-fried spicy homemade noodle with cabbage (medium spicy) - BBQ pork belly - Homemade dumplings - Stir-fried spicy squid (medium spicy) Analysis: Since change of ownership, there are noticeable differences in food and service. New chef is less heavy with the spice; medium is like...nothing. I don't eat habaneros for a living but their medium spiciness is weaker than hot Cheetos by like 10 levels. Noodle is still handpulled but a bit chewier. Dumpling skin is a tad thicker but still juicy and got generous amount of fillings (love the chives). Food is less oily. Service is a bit more attentive. They also upgraded the size of the water glasses so less frequent refill is needed. The server will often refill your water for you and ask how you're doing. Conclusion: There are some gains and some losses with the change of ownership but still unique and delicious!

First of all , I consider myself a foodie, and having spent time in San Francisco and New York, am familiar with the difference between "American" Asian food and authentic food. Du Kuh Bee is a gem , hidden in the middle of suburban Beaverton. The Kim Chee was fresh , the noodles were flavorful and just the right texture, and we actually watched them being made in front of us. The Korean marinated beef and chicken bulgogi was traditional and just the right amount of spice. I like my food in the medium range, and it was spot on. Excellent The atmosphere was quiet and understated but pleasant. The service was a little slow because they seem to have only one waiter. But, we passed the time snacking on kim chee and other side delicacies. This is the type of restaurant you want to tell other people about, but secretly hope it doesn't take off because it might change the restaurant.

You could drive right by this place if you are not looking out for it. The sign is big enough, but you'd expect a big restaurant too, but what they don't have in size, they have in flavor!! I'm a creature of comfort, so I tend to get the same things over and over, but here, I want to try everything on the menu! The house made noodles are amazing and make great leftovers the next day. The pork short ribs are so flavorvul. Garlicky and tender...I'm always tempted to order a large so I can plow through them in one night! Kimchee fried rice is so dang good! Love the kimchee and radishes, could eat those for days! And the staff is great! Always very friendly! Good job Beaverton for having a hidden gem in its midst!

Very cute hole-in-the-wall place. Family run and very busy. This review is based only off of one item off the menu though, hand pulled spicy squid noodles. The noodles are hand pulled up to order. The texture of the noodles were great, but they used a lot of chile oil to flavor the noodles. We ordered the noodles to go and there was a pool of orange grease at the bottom of the box.

Sorry for the late update. So, recently, I came back. Finally.. I think all the usual dishes that were good, were not as good. For example, the noodle isn't as good looking. So does the dumplings, they looked odd, but don't take me wrong, they didn't taste bad.... They tasted good. And somehow, they're better at some of the other stuff. I had their chicken dish the other night and the sauce tasted good with it. The old Du Kuh Bee didn't really make their chicken like that, tasted like teriyaki dishes... I guess different Chefs are just good at different dishes and we shouldn't expect the old Du Kuh Bee at this location because it's kind of gone. They DID get better. Thank you. I'll still come back because it opens late. I'll open my heart and try their dishes instead of expecting the old times. (+1 star)

Tara M.

I'm kinda obsessed with this place. The pork noodles are the best thing ever! Slightly chew (yet tender), spicy, and the good kind of greasy. I also can't leave without the Kim chee fried rice and some dumplings. One star taken for the 40 minute takeout wait time.

Amber S.

Went on a Friday night about 8:30. Had about 5-10 minute wait, which isn't bad, considering we beat some kind of rush and several groups ended up out in the rain for a while. This is a tiny place but they make the most of the space they have. We started with pork dumplings that were absolutely awesome. We scarfed them down. GF got the squid noodles and she really enjoyed them. I got the pork noodles and it was equally tasty. You can see the cooks in the back making the noodles right there so you know these dishes are fresh. Quick service, quick turnaround. Good food, fair price.

The noodles are hand made and so delicious! I've been to Korea and the flavors are spot on. It's such a hole in the wall kind of place and its tiny so you might have to wait, but it's so worth it.

Walking in to this place, we thought we had entered through the back door. The place is really tiny, blink and you have missed it. It was ackward entering, but I am so GLAD I did. The food is beyond good. Cooked by a small family, I felt like I have invaded someone's home. I watched an older man hand stretch the noodles for our meal, while an older women mixed up all the good ingredients. It tasted awesome!! We ordered 2 plates of Chicken Noodles, and we ordered them spicy. LOVED IT. Along with two cans of pop, it was $26 bucks total. Not bad at all I will definitely be back, but would order 'to go' since its so small. :)

My daughter and I love this place. We always order the dumplings and squid noodles. And of course, a side of kochujang with my dumplings (which they know already!). The flavor profile is spot on and the texture/chewiness is superb. Truly deserving of 5 stars based on these dishes. Occasionally, we get other dishes like kalbi, spicy pork bulgogi, grilled squid, braised pork ribs (new item). They execute these dishes well but I've had excellent preparations elsewhere. Still, theirs is much better than JCD and the now-closed Country Korean. Go for the dumplings and the noodles (available with other proteins)! PS: One order of dumplings is not enough... so order at least two. :-)

Du Kuh? Sounds like a Korean Sith Lord ... You know I'm going to check that out. Some friends and I rolled in a Saturday night from The 'Couve and checked it out. Worth the trip. Got the much talked about hand-pulled noodles, some fried rice, and some Korean BBQ chicken. I found the noodles perhaps a bit too toothsome that night, but they were good. (Yep, I just went toothsome on that!) It's small, the wait is a bit (not too long), and they could definitely rotate tables quicker, but nobody's perfect. Get your suburban arse out of the Chipotle and try something new (Yeah, that's what 'Vantucky Strikes Back' feels like). Bam!

Aaaaaaa-mazing. I actually had this place bookmarked before my trip to Portland but come to find out my brother and sister in law are regulars so it has to be good or atleast a little above average. I've skimmed through some of the reviews before hand to get a sense of the must have dishes. Everyone mentioned the noodles, and I'm all about noodles - as I hate rice. So BRING. IT. Couple things first though, another reviewer said shumai is japanese- actually it's Chinese. Also thin dumpling wrappers are not exclusive to korean cuisine, but hellllllllooooooo! Other asians use it too like chinese and vietnamese dumplings. Pay attention especially when eating dim sum! Get to know your dumplings people! Stop passing out false info if you don't know your shit ;-) So speaking of dumplings. I let my bro and sis in law do all the ordering and they ordered the pork and chives dumplings. They're delicate and remind me of wontons. Not bad. Then came the hand pulled noodles with pork belly. This is really good. Perfectly seasoned, smells enchanting. Not all that spicy- my brother is a wuss :) he takes after my mother in the spice tolerance department. They are weak ones you see. There were nice pieces of pork belly that aren't microscopic! The noodles, oh my they had a nice pull and chew to them. Bouncy, delicious, stir fried with some veggies like cabbage. I know my asian noodles and this was soooooooo GOOD. Perfection. Dream WORTHY. I'm a hater, I'll admit it so I'm hard to impress but this dish cracked down my wall of hate and I fell in love. This is now a must visit whenever I'm back in Portland. Loved. It. We also had the squid salad- that was alright, not really my cup of tea. Then there was the BBQ shortribs atop of onions, sizzling cooking the onions until transparent. These were also fantastic. Perfectly seasoned, tender with enough fat still attached. The onions were nice and sweet. Very good. Throughout the meal we shared some soju. What a great dinner. I just want to pack them up in my pocket and bring it back to Chicago! This place had a lot of white patrons. Don't let that deter you as some bad omen of nasty food to come. The word is out I see ;-) when we exited there was a mini line of people waiting for a table. This place is crazy small- the size of some people's master bedroom or studio. It's quaint, and the people were sweet. Sister in law, you didn't let me down.

Good noodles, but fairly simple food. A tad on the greasy side and not enough Korean flavor for my taste. Always busy and with inconvenient hours, pretty trendy with the Portland visitors but there are much better Korean choices very, very close.

The early bird gets the worm! In this case, a tight and chewy noodle! Don't come here too late, it is crowded! My party was the first seated on a wednesday night. As the very gracious waiter/son brought our dishes out, the restaurant was overrun with patrons and take-out walk-ins. YIKES! this is a popular place! They don't serve a table full of ban chan like their neighbor, but they do make fresh noodles! I've sampled hand-pulled noodles from various establishments and these are about par for the course. Their fresh kim chee and pickled daikon was delicious. The dishes were prepared well, however all noodle/stir fry dishes are basically the same tossed and wok-fried with cabbage, pepper, carrots and celery. I think sticking to the dishes where the noodles are the prime star would be best here. The teiji bulgogi (spicy pork) was excellent, served hot on a cast iron plate full of onions. I was not really impressed with the mandu here, it was hand made but was lacking in depth and flavor. It needed to be soaked in the vinegar-chili oil sauce for enhancement. I'll be back to eat the eel and a bowl of noodles, we all enjoyed eating here!

Mary G.

Oh.My .Gawd. The food here is magically delicious. I have sampled a few different dishes, and they were all good. I would recommend the hand pulled noodles, they are the best thing on the menu, in my opinion. You can watch them making your noodles if you have a view of the kitchen. They also make delicious dumplings...don't bother with one order. You will need at least two, because they are yummy. I also love the spicy tofu. I should stop myself now. I could go on and on about this place. Loooove it.

Jonah H.

Bomb hand pulled noodles! The bok and the dumplings were also pretty dang good. Wouldn't order the beef short ribs just on the fact that they were mostly fat and grisle for $10. All four dishes came to a total of $32 and me and my wife were stuffed and very happy. Service is great and this little hole in the wall makes you feel like you are not even in the states anymore. I

Cody W.

When contemplating the $12 price of the hand-pulled pork noodles, keep in mind it's a portion ample for two full meals. This is in the family tree of Frank's Noodle House and has many of the same favorite recipes, but without the crowds. Service is a little slow, and the dining room is awkward, but this true hole in the wall is definitely worth the trip. The noodles are soft and filling, bedazzled with peppers and sauce, set against the zesty crunch of shredded cabbage and the salty, savory meat. The spicy noodle soup is a tasty sinus-clearer, and we were a little disappointed that we couldn't augment it --even for a surcharge-- with a meat, as it did seem to be crying out for the protein balance. We had handmade dumplings as an appetizer, and they were excellent.

Angelina E.

The atmosphere isn't fancy but the food and service easily warrant a five star review. If you are down to earth and just want amazing food then this is the place to be. I have never had anything that was less than yummy and I go here a lot. Any of the noodle dishes are wonderful. Also highly recommend the pan fried squid. I have always had the same waiter and he is amazing. Also they stay open late. What more could anyone want?
(5)
Terry B.

Outstanding Korean food! We like the chicken noodles, dumplings, and barbecue ribs. Love to watch them make the noodle in the kitchen. If you take yourself too seriously avoid Du Kuh Bee - this is a back room kind of restaurant, family owned and run - really authentic. Very busy place with not many tables - come early or expect to wait.

Linda L.

its 12am and i just arrived in portland, for the very first time, and guess where we go? DU KUH BEE! hand pull noodles at 12am is delicious, spicy, fresh, and great tasting .. just maybe not nice to my stomach :/ korean ribs are GOOD too! if you're lucky you will get a show of the noodle pulling awesomeness!
(4)
Jason T.

ONLY THE BEST HAND MADE NOODLES YOU'LL EVER HAVE. Their noodles are hand made and (sometimes in front of you) filled with awesomeness. These noodles come with a variety of different meats, vegetarian is an option! The appetizers here are really good, good portions and you can probably even order as a meal!
(5)
Y L.

We ordered the kimchee fried rice and cha chang myun (black bean sauce noodles). The rice dish was good and as expected. The cha chang myun noodles were perfect but the sauce was completely wrong. Next time I will order another noodle dish, as the noodles are very good.

Bori G.

Love this place!! I came here 5-6 years ago with a friend, but made my way back when we tried to go eat next door at nak wan (which was fav Korean restaurant) but they were closed and decided to go here.. YUMMY in my tummy!! We ordered the jelly fish salad, squid noodles, kalbi ribs and the spicy potatoe soup.. Between 4 of us we totally cleaned up! It was so good we came back the next day and ordered thus time around 2 orders of the spicy squid noodles (note that they're homemade) jellyfish salad and the spicy chicken... Once again we killed it! The noodles are oh so delicious and has the perfect chewiness to them! The place is small and looks to be a local Korean hangout.

This place wins lots of points for nostalgia for me. After having spent some time in S.K. , I have a weak spot for home spun korean charm. This place wins me over in so many ways. I love the hole-in the wall, late-night noodle shop thing they have going on- it reminds me of many nights after too much Hite and karaoke spent in a Korean late night restaurant / bar hole. All the freezing cold korean lager beer you can take with frill-less noodle and meat dishes... The bbq has good taste, but I think that there are better korean grill dishes not far away. The noodles, whether in soups or not, are more their schtick- again, maybe not the best in the whole wide world, but solid, and a bargain. They are open late, serve like they care about their place, and full of Korean side-street-dive-diner charm.

Vivianne F.

I love the cozy environment of this tiny restaurant. Their hand-made noodles are chewy and tasty. Their food taste good generally, but the portions of some items are quite small, such as the BBQ ribs. I only order the veggie noodle there because the other ones will set you back $4~5 more with just few more pieces of meat. :( And one last thing: do NOT wear your favorite clothes when you go there. Although your stomach will be satisfied, your clothes will be destroyed by the cooking fumes.
(4)
Jessica H.

AMAZING! Yes, it looks like a whole in the wall but look what they have to work with. If you are wanting a roomy restaurant with lots of seating, this not your place. I think people think this place is sketchy so they immediately judge that the food is going to be somewhat ok. Well, there food is incredible. If you want AWESOME Korean food eat here! They should be famous for their handmade noodles and their flavors cater to all different kinds of taste buds. The family is very friendly and I enjoy their service.
(5)
Sung L.

If you go to any noodle house, ask if they hand pull their noodles or buy them ... if they buy them, you'll taste the difference. At Du Kuh Bee, you can see the home made noodle show in their open kitchen. The restaurant is small which can be uncomfortable when it's busy and there can also be sizable wait after ordering. The decor is very spartan so don't expect any ambiance. Even with all that said, it's my favorite place to eat noodles in the greater Portland area.

The hand pulled noodles make this place king of the block. The steamed dumplings and bok choy are nice add ons too. The kitchen was under staffed and we had about a 30 minute wait so they comped 1 of our entrees. The noodles were enough to split between 2 people. Chewy spicey, with strips of cabbage, meat, and peppers, the noodles are the best. Very small mom and pop shop. Really good Korean food and open late.

Byron S.

Great food. I love this place. Hole in the wall, tiny and old school. Awesome. I'd give it a five star if they had a better banchan action (kim-chee and daokon das it?) Holy Macherel the pan fried fish is to die for! Mouth melting goodness. Hand pulled noodles. Yum!
(4)
Garret R.

Great Korean Food. The location is real small but the noodles are the best in the city. Our favorite dish is Ja jang myeon. You can't find it at any where else around here and the kimchi is solid. Great service and it's fun to watch them cooking in the back.
(5)
Shawn E.

My wife and I love this place. You must experience the hand pulled noodles, they are to die for. Tiny space where you can watch your food being made. Enjoy a Hite beer, Kim chee and daikon radish while you wait for your noodles.

Leah H.

Have you heard? This place is a hole in the wall. Yup, I had been here twice before I actually noticed that they had a sign. Did you know? They make their noodles from scratch. Unfortunately, during the times I've been here I've never had the pleasure to watch this happen. Bad timing I guess. Yeah. The reviews on this place seem to be rather uniform. I won't bother to repeat that it is a Chinese couple making Korean food with a Chinese twist. Oh wait...dang. I do have to agree that the dumplings are quite tasty. It is probably worth while to get a couple of orders while you are here. The barbecued items are tasty. The noodles are good...but not amazing. I'm not saying anything bad about this place. It really is "a-ok." It's nice to have a place to get some tasty food that is not at a bar in Beaverton after 10 PM. Not that any bars in the area serve that tasty of food.... Du Kuh Bee is worth a try. And when the timing is right is certainly good for a return visit. They just never really make it that high on my list of places to go. Siting in the doorway by the fridge is always fun too =)

Great food, great people, and great service. The place is small and there are only four people in the kitchen so don't complain about waiting for a bit. The hand pulled noodles, the kimchee fried rice, and just about everything else on the menu is worth the wait. You can't help but be happy and satisfied, even if you wheeled yourself out of the tight space and smelling like the beef ribs you had just devoured.

Sriram R.

My wife and I ate here for the first time. We had sort of missed the dinner time frame and we were looking for a decent place to eat after 9pm. Needless to say, we hit upon this place. The food was really good. I loved the dumplings and the noodles. My wife liked the bbq chicken, and I admit it was decent, but I think if I had the beef it would have been much better. I highly recommend the place. My wife said the noodles was the best she's had in Portland. They remind us of the indian noodles you get in India. The food proportions were generous.
(4)
Megan P.

Great braised short ribs! The dumpling soup was really good too. The fried octopus was hot and spicy. The pork noodle dish was excellent also. (Handmade noodles!!!) it's a small place, so you can see the food being made. Very good.

Nichole S.

There isn't alot of Korean in Portland and when I found this place I was so stoked Dumplings awesome simple juicy cooked to order Noodles hand pulled melt in your mouth kimchee great pickled daikon addictive its also open late! The food is super cheap for how delicious it is totally check it out NOW

Susan X.

Mmmm this place was dang tasty. The four of us left stuffed full of tasty food. The service was good, but the food came out a little slow. Although, I can't fault them much since the dining area was full. We ordered dumplings, mapo tofu, chicken hand-pulled noodles, beef rib bbq, and pork and something (spring onions maybe?). We got kimchee and pickled daikon before the meal as expected. The food was generally good! The mapo tofu was ok but not great. The dumplings were juicy and had a nice skin-to-filling ratio - they were really good but not amazing. The hand-pulled noodles were the PERFECT texture - something that's hard to find in the states. The beef ribs were very flavorful and really good, and the pork and something was also very delicious. Overall, I would definitely come back again - especially since they're open until 2am on the weekends for late-night munchies!

It's a nice family run small restaurant! We tried to come here in two occasions but timing just wasn't right, and then of course we made it here unplanned. We had the chicken hand made noodles, Mackerel, and hand made dumplings. The food is so good even my girlfriend who isn't a big fan of Korean/Chinese cuisine is now totally addicted to the noodles. She also beg me to take her back here lol, but really the food is awesome because the hand made part! One small tip on the side, if you are comfortable with others in your personal space, sit at the bar and watch them cook and pull the noodles!

First time I saw Du Kuh Bee, I chose Nak Won which is right next door.I finally ended up going to Du Kuh Bee with my husband and have to say I was really impressed with the food.The restaurant setting is small and family like.You get a feel of authenticity from sitting in there.I ordered the kimchi fried rice which was absolutely delicious.I also got the spicy noodle soup which was nice and savory.My husband ended up getting the Kal Bi beef bbq.It was easy to bight into and wasn't too chewy,was just right.I would definitely go there again !

I really liked this place. Great atmosphere, good prices. What was best? The hand stretched noodles! We had a great view of the kitchen, so it was a blast. I really love Korean food, and if you do too, try this place. My only complaint? It was a bit drafty there. My friend and I were wearing our coats the whole meal, but it was worth the suffering!

I wish my hopes were not as high as they were for this place. The best thing I can say about Du Kuh Bee is their service is great. These are the hardest working people in the business. The place is a hole in the wall but that doesn't bother me. What bothers me was the prices for the quantity and quality of food served. It was prepared fine but I have a major complaint with the very hard squid in my spicy squid noodles which was the most expensive item on the menu at $14. I know Korean food as being large quantities, served very hot, very edible and reasonably priced. This has not been the case here. It is however a good place to eat good food. I recommend you get the spicy BBQ pork plate as an appetizer (because it is an appetizer size but priced as an entree at $8) and get the veggie noodles for $8 because adding the meats to this dish adds only cost to the dish without adding any value to the flavor. Just take a pass on the $4 dumplings, their just frozen store bought and boiled, save your $4 for some beer. I will say that the Hite beer is really good but at $6 for a big bottle I felt a bit high because let's face it this is a 'HOLE in the WALL' Things are supposed to be cheaper than a nicer restaurant. I have to give them equal $'s to stars because to get the same amount of food as a regular Korean restaurant you have to spend 1 1/2 times as much $. Two beers an appetizer and an entree cost me $34 and after tip I was $40 shy and still a bit hungry. Although I did have a lot of help from my friend in eating the spicy bbq pork appetizer. Enjoy

Jesse S.

My newly discovered late night fave. So far I've had the noodles, dumplings, and bok choy, and they were all awesome. I did try the "Chinese herbal pork hock", and was surprised only because I didn't realize that it was essentially a salad- served cold, and with the jelled strips of tendon providing an unusual (to a westerner's palate) crunchiness. The flavor was quite good, but the texture is one that I haven't exactly embraced yet. The dining room is small and they are quite popular, so a small wait can be expected. The staff seems very friendly. We were comped one of our dishes on our first visit because we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. I will definitely return.

Pat B.

what a GROSS disappintment. Heard it was coming to "dining", so went tonight. Asked for a glass of wine, waiter had not a clue what that meant, but turns out it was sake, Noodles were the featured items. Ordered the pork, if there were 4 small pieces, we tried to share them only if we could find them. $12 - Ridiculous,. Also ordered the toufu. Asked if we wanted it "spicy" we said "medium" not knowing their temps. Tofu cubes (probably from Costo) in an unidentifiable pool of red sauce. no spice.............It was awful. I realize Beaverton can be a culinary vastland, but this was ridiculous. Even the couple sitting next to us (within about 2 feet) left their meal. I took mine home to my golden retrievers. They did like it, but their culinary tastes are a bit different than mine. Review: NO: Go to Costco, instead, and add some leftover pork in your ramen noodles.

I thought I was in for a treat after reading all the rave reviews for Du Kuh Bee. I was expecting a lot and wasn't going to settle for less. My standards when it comes to Korean food is pretty up there because I'm Korean and I grew up eating good Korean food. My mother had a restaurant, there are a ton of great Korean restaurants in Hawaii and Los Angeles, and in that sense I am spoiled. Du Kuh Bee is a little hidden place right next to Nakwon. The place is small, and by small, I mean only about 6 tables and a small bar, small. The menu is simple but ordering is not so simple. The guy who took my order barely spoke English and definitely did not speak Korean. It is a Chinese owned Korean restaurant which is the opposite of what I'm used to. Most times you'll see Korean owned Northern Chinese cuisine restaurants. Anywho, I was excited to try this place because they had jja jjang myun (black bean noodles) which is made with hand pulled noodles. I've yet to find even a decent jja jjang myun joint here in Oregon so I was excited for sure. So it was an order of jja jjang myun and dwaeji bulgogi (spicy pork) for me. The food came out pretty fast. The portions were a bit on the small side and I worried that it wouldn't fill me up (I eat a lot). The noodles looked very fresh and very good but the sauce lacked any substance. It looked like just black sauce as opposed to a black sauce containing a bunch of veggies and meat how I'm used to eating it. The noodles were actually a bit cold and a little too hard and chewy. I'm assuming they were sitting for a bit and the chef just cooked up some sauce and poured it over cold noodles which is not how it's supposed to be. With the jja jjang myun I was very disappointed. The dwaeji bulgogi was actually pretty good but like I said, the portion was very small for the price. They use samgyupsal (pork belly) cuts which is the best way to make this dish with a bunch of onions. Overall, my experience at Du Kuh Bee wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I was sorely disappointed at the quality of the noodles. I'm sure if it was made fresh, it would've tasted better. The pork was good but the portions sucked. I spend $19 and end up leaving still hungry?! Not good.

went there with my daughter & her husband. They have been there before but this my 1st time. I'm from Calif & have eaten in many Korean restaurants & this is the smallest site. I give them 5 stars...owners/staff very friendly, excellent service, fairly priced, but most of all, the food is great! Some of the best kalbi (grilled beef short ribs) & spicy squid & noodles ever! As our former Calif governor would say, "I'll be back".

Now this a real hole in the wall that is Great. Each table is cooked to order so if they are busy (always) just wait a little. Every dish we have had (been there 5 times now) has been over the top. Love the beef short ribs, and of course the noodles. We are a real fan of this place and its our new go to spot.

I have to give this "Hole in the Wall" restaurant a 5 star rating all the way. Their homemade hand-tossed noodles are to DIE for. You can have them with meat or Vegetarian style. I could seriously eat an entire platter of the noodles. Other items I'm a fan of is the Bok Choy veggie dish, the BBQ short Spareribs (if I'm in the mood for meat), and the Pork Stew (potatoes with pork in a semi-spicy broth). The service is good and is run by an independent family.

Driving around the beav, we took a chance on this unassuming storefront. I'm sure glad I did. The atmosphere was welcoming and I felt like we had arrived while the family was preparing a Sunday dinner. The food was fantastic and really hit the spot. We will be back... Probably tomorrow.

Good, but not great. The hand-pulled noodles are awesome - firm, slightly chewy texture. Unfortunately, they don't have a lot of variety when it comes to the different preparations. Most of the noodle dishes have the same kim-chee-based red sauce. They do have ja jang myun, which is pretty good (black been sauce noodles). I'd also recommend the dumplings, the beef ribs, and the baby bok choi (which must be cooked in pork fat I swear... always a good thing). This place is probably more Chinese than Korean. Overall, its a pretty good joint with decent portions. They take reservations, which are recommended if you want to come here on a Friday or Saturday night, or if you have a larger party. This place is tiny, and since the write-up in the Oregonian, they've been really busy.

I felt like I was in Korea, it fulfilled my travel longings. The food was in-cred-i-ble. best ribs i've ever had. I'm going to go back soon and try more and show them off to my friends. Really - you must try this place. Such a great hole in the wall.

This place is a hole in the wall. It's so tiny it's unbelievable. But don't let the small size deter you. For in here they have plenty of goodies that. The dumplings are awesome. Influenced by the northern region of china, you get a chinese chive and meat dumpling that's so juicy and delicious. The other dish i loved was the noodles. Hand pulled done in front of everyone. How can you go wrong with something that visually spectacular. we had gosh i don't even know the name but anyone who knows korean spare ribs knows what i'm talking about. And a few other dishes they were good but were over shadowed by these other two. definately a place to drop by if you're in beaverton and craving korean or chinese food.

One of the most fantastic hand pulled noodles I've ever had. Portions are big to be shared family-style and the price is affordable. Waitstaff was kind enough to offer suggestions for variety and portion for our party of 6 and it was perfect! Wonderful Korean BBQ and stir-fried noodles.

Hands down, the best noodles and dumplings! I have tried Frank's Noodle House, but never again. Du Kuh Bee all the way! It is way better. You can't go wrong with any of their handmade noodle dishes, seasoned to perfection. The service is always friendly, and it is nice to support a family run business. Money well spent.

A great find, if you can find it; you could walk by 100 times and miss it even if you are looking for it. Amazing noodles, and their KimChi was to die for. Their Baby Bok Choi was prepared perfectly in an amazing sauce, and the dumplings were out of this world. Highly Recommended

We never even got to try the meal.....first as first timers going into the restaurant we stood at the front door not knowing if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated . After 5 minutes we sat ourselves, 15 minutes later we got a menu, 10 minutes later we got water and ordered.....we sat there for 1/2 an hour after ordering, no food delivered , waiter never checked on us ( we were out of water and actually wanted to order from the drink menu) the restaurant was not busy. There were empty tables and everyone around was getting food delivered . After being in the restaurant a total of an hour and only seeing our waiter once, no food, no water, not even the cucumber salad we ordered, we left, never going back, disappointed after reading the other reviews that made us go in the first place.

Du Kuh Bee is great. It is pure and simple. It is a small place with only 5 or 6 tables and a long counter to eat at. The Kitchen is a hive of energy and if you sit at the counter you can watch the magic happen. Including hand rolling and stretching of noodles. I ordered squid and noodles and they noodles were outstanding. They tasted chewy and dense but were easy to eat, they had obviously been rolled and made that day in the shop. Squid was tender and not too overcooked. Spicing and veggies and sauce all were terrific. Big heaping plate of food too - cost around $13. Two plates of that kind of thing to share between two people, or one plate of noodles and a side order of dumplings and you are set. They are open VERY late at night every night except Sunday and Monday. Reservations ARE accepted and recommended on Fri/Sat especially before 10pm. I sat at the counter. Service was a but slow but I went during key hours on a Fri night and I was all by myself so it wasn't that big of a deal. They could add a few more beer options and things, but in general, very good Korean/Chinese food.

This is an indoor pojangmacha. PJ is a version of a food cart in Korea. I kind of like the down home environment. It's a small place with just few tables. The service was not that great since they were busy. Only one server was serving the entire place, but he was apologetic. Had jajangmyun and mapa tofu. They were good. They pull the noodles right there, so it was great. It certainly not the best I've had, but it was good. This is the first jajangmyun in Portland area for me. I would go back for more.

This place has the best hand made noodles and their pork bulgolgi is delicious! The service here is always fantastic and all of the staff is friendly and attentive. Although this is not a typical Korean restaurant with all the same dishes as other places, they do everything really well. They're also open really late, which is a major plus for me.
(5)
Scott S.

Wow I really dig this place. They only give you two plates of panchan but they are good. What you are here for is the noodles, the fucking amazing awesome textured noodles. You can watch the guy stretching the noodles. Also the bulgogi is great as well.. The quail was good not great. The Dumplings were good but failed to reach the level that the noodles and the beef did. GO!

Holy cow. Why did it take me so long to come here? I mentioned it to our neighbors once and they were like, "You haven't been?!? We should go!" So we went with them on a Friday night. When we arrived, I saw how small it was and we were told there would be about a 20 min. wait. We decided that was enough time to go to Decarli for a quick drink, which worked out great. Funny thing is the Decarli people could not seem to understand that we just wanted a drink. We must have said 5 times, no, we don't need a table. But anyway, I digress...We arrived back at Du Kuh Bee and our neighbors recommended the dumplings, the boy choy and of course the hand pulled noodles. The dumplings were so good I was afraid I was eating way more than my share! After we had devoured those, we watched the old man making the noodles. Very cool! I can't believe he does that all night. The main meal arrived and I quickly discovered the noodles were amazing. Meaty and flavorful - just.so .good. The bok choy was sauteed in a garlicy sauce. Also very good. I left very happy and vowed to return again soon. Our neighbors said not to worry, we'd find ourselves craving it soon enough. :-)

They have pretty good hand made fresh noodles. Spicy pork, LA Kalbi, Chicken . If you have a late night craving this is the place to go to get Korean food until 1am on weekdays.

Don't be put off by the tiny interior. This is awesome Chinese/Korean food. My favorites are the chicken noodles and the dumplings. It's worth the wait!

Excellent hand made noodles. Dark and dingy atmosphere. A wee bit on the spendy side but well worth it. Leftovers for sure

Renate L.

I can't believe the folks who said the portions are small! One plate of the hand-pull noodles fed two of us to bursting. Of course, I am not Korean -- my Korean acquaintances, especially the males, have the hugest appetites I've ever seen, bar none. They usually eat portions that are three to four times larger than I can manage, so if that is the expectation the bar food here won't be enough. I consider it more of a late-night place, and I wouldn't want to be full to bursting at 2 a.m.

Craving for some Korean cuisine, my husband and I ended up at Du Kuh Bee. It was the only Korean restaurant open in downtown Beaverton. So glad we tried this place. The hand pulled noodle was to die for! A must try. The mackerel was good but the size was small for the price. Was disappointed that there was only two side dishes compare to other Korean restaurant. Besides that, this place is a gem.

Little-Known Chinese-Korean Noodle House -- Where The Late Night Fun Begins! "Off the beaten-path," "little-known," and "hole-in-the-wall" [all] easily describe this enchanting Chinese-Korean eatery called "Du Kuh Bee." Located in the heart of Old Town Beaverton, walking distance to and from Ava Roasteria (An absolute Mecca of a 24 hour espresso cafe), Du Kah Bee is a treasure among local Beaverton area and an Asian cuisine diamond in the rough. At this best kept neighborhood secret, the fun begins when several dishes are ordered and shared, so that everyone can sample a bit of each item, which only adds to the tasty experience. The dumplings are exceptional and several trays are carried by as new orders roll-in and customers come-and-go. But the most notable attraction - not to be missed - are the whole wheat hand-pulled noodles, made fresh to order right before your eyes! I ordered the vegetarian chili noodles for $8 bucks and the house hot sake for $5. The meal is served with Kim Chi on the side and they will bring more, upon request. The coolest thing, though, about Du Kuh Bee, aside from the yummy food, is that they keep late night hours until 1a.m. Monday - Thursday and 2a.m. on weekends; great for a late night bite, an intimate date, an after movie diner dive with friends or (as I found interesting one night) a spontaneous bachelorette party stop (because everything else had long since closed) ...obviously, a fun consideration for your next girls night out! The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, not pretentious or flashy by any means. Clearly, this is a place where people can relax and be themselves. The small size of the establishment takes on a "mom and pop" -typed ambiance that fuses a converted off-the-alley sushi bar with the casual comforts of an old truck stop diner. That's where the confluence of Du Kuh Bee's sights, sounds and smells have a feel that almost Brigadoons its patrons off to the Far East Asia itself -- if only for the duration of your meal! There is a little bit of a wait, sometimes, because everything is made fresh, to order and the place is always hoppin'. However, I suggest settling any anxieties with the hot house Sake, a Tsing Tao beer chaser and a Kim Chi appetizer to tide you over until the food arrives. With some good company and free-flowing conversation, time becomes relative, because the food is certainly worth every bit of the wait, paid for with a little pre-planned patience.

Still keep the quality and tasty foods here. Even though, running by the new owner? I believe. we went to this place last night, and order dumpling, jelly fish salad ( my fav) some bbq pork and more..alll of them were delicious nothing went wrong. Worth to eat!! Recommended
(5)
Jordan C.

Impressed! The moment you walk in there is that feeling you have found a diamond in the rough. If you love high quality food and service that's tucked away from undeserving eyes this place is for you! Hand made dumplings and noodles make it a place worth visiting. Will go back many times. Did I mention there open late! Early morning jonesing for dumplings? Never fear :)
(5)
Ameena A.

The dumpling were excellent. I was really glad I ordered them, especially since right after I ordered, the group next to me got the final two orders. The dumplings themselves were very tender and delicious, a must try. I also had the hand-pulled noodles with shrimp. The noodles themselves were very good, but the dish was a little bland. My waiter asked me how hot I wanted it, and I said that I wanted it medium, but maybe I should have asked for it to be hot, since medium was incredibly mild. The portion was very large; I was able to take about half of it home. This is definitely somewhere that would be good to go to with a group. I went alone, and I was seated at a table next to the refrigerator. I didn't mind, as I was planning to read while I was eating so the view wasn't that important, but it wasn't a very attractive place to sit.

Nivatrope C.

This place rocks. It is hard to find in Beaverton, but worth the hunt. They make the noodles by hand. We had pork noodles, some yummy dumplings, Bok Choi, and Mauper Tofu. Though it all looked spicy, it wasn't that hot, and it was very flavorful. This may be a new obsession....
(4)
Jon F.

Wow! We came late on Friday night (about 10:30). I just really needed something spicy. We are kicking ourselves for not finding this gem sooner. The noodle dishes are outstanding. Light and just a little chewy. The portions were large - I was sure that I couldn't eat all mine - but it was so good I kept putting it in my mouth! Cannot wait to return and try some other menu items (those dumplings sure looked good). It is great to have a late night place like this in Beaverton.
(5)
Andy O.

Just made it back and have to update my verdict on the dumplings. They ruled this time. The hand-made skin burst with the juicy deliciousness as my teeth pierced the surface. Also tried the short-ribs and they were quality. Had everything else we had last time and it was just as blissfully amazing. The wife and I have decided to attempt to eat here once a week.

Daeji bulgogi, ggaktugi, damuji, bap, Hite and a few close friends. Good times ... But, as much as I was trying to re-create memories I have in San Diego ... I realize it can't be done.

Shawn W.

A great find in the heart of suburbia! We ordered pork noodles, Korean BBQ chicken and dumplings. It was a great show watching the cook behind the counter rhythmically, hand-stretching the noodles! The dumplings were very tender and packed with flavor! For take-out, I was in and out in 15 minutes!

Catherine D.

When people mention about Du Kuh Bee, the first thing in my mind is their Snail salad. I used to love this dish of theirs and frankly, ever since they changed owner again, the salad taste slightly different - not as good / tasty as before. Their pulled noodle is generous but is missing some element of taste. In contrast, their kalbi is good but the portion is smaller than what I recalled. So yea, I've experienced better... when they were owned by the previous owner. I think I'll wait for a while before I go back there and hope that they will improve their cooking to be at least on par with the previous owner's dishes. Otherwise, bye bye snail salad...

Derek R.

Accidently went in here instead of Nakwon. Lucky find! Hahha. I come in for their noodles. Good stuff. Great service. Only prob is... it's smaller than Yuzu. Lol. The wait for tables can get out of hand...

Ling Tzu W.

The Hand pulled noodles are to die for here! Yes there is a wait! There will always be a wait unless you get there when the restaurant opens. You cannot avoid it. Yes I believe the food is exceptional, but you have to know what to order. I don't come to this restaurant for Korean Barbecue, we come for their noodles and other cooked dishes. We always order their Du Kuh Bee Noodles either medium or mild. I definitely love this dish, the flavors and the chewiness of the noodles are perfect. I am also am in love with their Chicken Gizzard dish and their braised chicken. I haven't had chicken gizzard and the braised chicken prepared this way. I believe the portion sizes are definitely perfect, in fact for a party of two 3 dishes is just perfect with a little to take home. But if you are looking for korean barbecue maybe this is not the place for you, but if you are looking for other Korean traditional dishes you may find it here. All I can say is they are definitely true to their sign outside that says "Heaven's best noodles"

Navi R.

A non-traditional Korean restaurant with some Chinese influence, that is none the less....delicious! A small hole in the wall with very few tables that serve simple, non-pretentious delicious dishes. The hand shaven noodles they are known are to die for! Soft, chewy noodles stir fried with an abundance amount of vegetables and choice of meat. The dish was flavorful with exceptional flavors that do not come with the grease, which is a bonus. My only complaint was that we had 6 small shrimp which was not exactly a good value for our dish. But, for the taste, it is worth a try. We also had the tofu soup that was slightly unconventional. Their soup does not contain the red paste that is typical in a Korean tofu soup. When the soup arrived, I was a little skeptical at first. With the clear broth, I was afraid it was going to lack in flavor, however, it was exactly the opposite. The soup had a great balance of flavors and the tofu soft. Overall, we were happy with the meal! Fair price, good food and decent service.

Ernest K.

The wait on weekends can be interminable, the service is indifferent & the ambience non-existent, but two things make a visit to this Beaverton hole-in-the-wall worthwhile: their hand pulled noodles (if you're a first-timer, I'd recommend the "Noodle w/ Black Bean Sauce"--it's a great intro to their amazing noodles) and their ridiculously delicious "Napa w/ Spicy Pork" dish. Those two items elevate a restaurant that I'd otherwise rate a 1-star to a solid 4-star spot, though only for occasional visits. One other plus worth mentioning for night owls is that Du Kuh Bee is open till midnight on weekdays and till 1am on Fridays & Saturdays (closed Sundays), which is pretty unusual for Beaverton.
(4)
Daniel N.

The food was excellent but the service was pretty bad. I always get the pork ribs which is usually enough for 2 people but heck, it is not even enough for me when it's so gooooood!! Make sure you give it a try when you come here. The dude who works here is not friendly at all. He always gives the customers unfriendly-looking when they walk in. A go for food but a No for service.

Sandra C.

Don't be turned away by their little hole in a wall restaurant that serves up hand pulled noodles, right in the back of the restaurant. On a Friday 10pm night, there was one couple in front of me, but the waiting for a table didn't take long. But the waiting for the food took forever! Side dishes included radishes and Kim chi, which we finished over the course of waiting for our food for 45 minutes after we ordered.. Not fun when you are starving. We ordered a total of 4 dishes amongst 4 people. 1) hand pulled vegetarian noodles 2) braised pork in a iron pot 3) teodokki (flat rice cakes with beef) 4) galbi ribs. The hand made noodles were really flavorful and so good! The braised pork ribs that came in a clay pot with cylinder rice cakes was the most delicious protein on the table! The galbi was just okay, for $12 there were only about 4 ribs.. But still it was just okay. The flat rice noodle dish was just okay, I've had better!! I just miss eating rice cakes that's all.

Nice hole in the wall Korean place in Beaverton. There is a wait even at 830pm on a tuesday, that says how popular it is. I got the house made hand pulled noodles with chicken. Pretty tasty and a lot of quantity of food for the price. Will have to come back and they the korean BBQ.

Tony T.

Small Hole in the wall Korean place that is seemingly known for its hand made noodles. I ordered some of their hand made Pork Hand Made noodles medium spicy and it came out very good. Spicy and every bite was evenly good. The kitchen service is a bit slow but by the time I was half way thru eating my kimchi and drinking my small $3 Hite, the noodles came out. It delievered and it was great.

Jando S.

As much as I tend to rag on NYC for its lackluster Viet scene, I tend to do the same with Portland's nearly abysmal Korean scene. If ever there were a Korean spot that looks nothing like the others, it might just be Du Kuh Bee. It has amassed a reputation over the better part of two decades for providing authentic eats, in divy conditions no less, for people who know what they want. In the early 2000s when I first discovered the joint, the ownership at the time was Korean. The menu was considerably simpler, the place was so bare bones that a sign was barely visible from the street. The parking was limited to street parking (same as it is today) and the open kitchen was the only thing that was the least questionable. The tables and bathrooms were literally on their last leg. Cue Chef Frank Fong, who took over DKB several years ago. Though he's Chinese he's taken the time to ensure the quality of the food stays consistent with the fare established long before his current reign. The menu has understandably become more Korean-Chinese, with a bevy of stir fry and sino-compatible eats, all while giving the place a serious makeover. The space now fits more people and a prominent can't-miss sign now adorns the building. He incorporates hand pulled noodles, something that new patrons often marvel at as he whirls noodles left and right before he serves it to them. Things like Ja Jang Myun (ç‚¸é†¬éºµ) is made quite well here: fragrant, plentiful, and the bolognese blankets the noodles with just a touch of oil. It's not the best I've ever had by any stretch, but it's good enough to merit multiple orders. I would avoid the U-Dong noodles and go exclusively with this. Then there are is the wonderful mandoo dumplings, which look more akin to the dongbei (æ±åŒ—) variety one might see in Chinese cuisine. The skin is nicely smooth and the pork fillings always keep me in a happy mood. From first glance, they would look more shui jiao (æ°´é¤ƒ) than Mandoo, but as long as they're tasty, I don't think many would care that much. Most of the Korean dishes are meat heavy. From chicken and beef bulgolgi to ribs, gizzards, and squid. There is also octopus (nakji) available, which gets my nostalgia bell all set in. No pajun, jigaes, or banchan to speak of, which may be red flags to Korean lovers seeking more traditional dishes. At least the kimchi tofu ($14) is solid, but it's hardly pungent enough to win over the masses. The prices are affordable and the service gets it done. I still appreciate that the place is open till 1AM nearly every night, especially when the rest of this area in Beaverton is completely dead.
(3)
Angik S.

The best item here was the radish in the two plate banchan. That is how mundane the food here was. The chicken gizzard was tasteless, totally bland. The noodles were good but not enough to warrant another visit. The pork bulgogi was the best item. However the amount was disproportionate to the price. The pan fried squid tasted very similar to kimchee.
(2)
Shannon H.

Yessssss! They make their noodles by hand. The previous reviews said there'd be a wait but it was only like 5 minutes. The beef bulgogi, baby bacchoy, plus pork noodles...amazing!!

Sce P.

I was regretting not waiting for Nak Won and going here. Their black bean noodles didn't taste like anything, just dirt. My 6 year old who normally loves black bean noodles said "mommy it doesn't taste good" and you really can't pretend that it did. The Galbi tasted good but we got 5 pieces with meat on it and some bones with no meat and for $12 it really felt like we were ripped off. Their service is really also lacking and the waiters seemed harassed when we asked for spoons and extra napkins or a towel because our daughter spilled water. Normal wait staff would have come over and wiped the table down for us with a towel, these guys threw a few napkins at us. I'm usually quite forgiving of my Korean compatriots lack of waiting skills but these guys were just a-holes. I think this place is rated high by people who have no idea what good Korean or Chinese food is. If this was LA they would be getting one or two star ratings at most. My recommendation, wait and go to Nak Won instead. This place is a rip off and food doesn't taste good nor is it worth being treated like an annoyance.

John B.

Incredible. Really. We had the house made noodles (of course), somewhat reminiscent of a Japanese izakaya restaurant - friendly greeting at the door, just be sure to allow time for seating... 20 minute wait for 2 at 10:30 on a Tuesday, but we'd happily wait again, and will!
(5)
J K.

So this is the place Frank of Franks Noodle House made famous. I've had a chance to eat at Frank's and I much prefer Du Kuh Bee instead. The food tasted fresher, better spiced, and hotter. Only beef is 2 side banchan Korean side dishes with your meal. We got their delicious steamed dumplings, Korean Seju liquor, and shrimp noodle stir fry. The noodles are sparse with few pepper slices, onion, cabbage, and apples, but the hand-pulled noodles from the guy in the kitchen corner makes it all worthwhile. The place is tiny and we waited about 40 minutes. Try to get a seat in the back room. It's where all the kitchen action is at.

sallie n.

Come here to try some hand pulled noodles. Don't come here is you expect to be waited on hand and foot. Come here if you want to eat and be left alone. Don't come here if you want a fancy spacious dining area. I am glad I believed in all the reviews about the noodles. They were tasty and enjoyable. Medium spicy is hardly spicy at all. But that's ok. I enjoyed the taste anyways. It is a traditional family owned Asian restaurant; good food, fair service, minimal decoration. Good enough for me. I will come back again when I come back to Beaverton.

We lucked out and got seated right away. Usually there is a big line to get in. Excellent Pork Dumplings and Anjou Chicken! The bok choy alone was worth the price of the dinner. I can't wait to come back!

Du Kuh Bee, thanks for holding it down in Beaverton with some awesome contemporary Korean cuisine. DISCLAIMER: You may not enjoy coming to eat here if you: 1.) Hate waiting 20-30 minutes for a table. 2.) Don't like eating in a small, cramped space. 3.) Aren't a fan of Korean food, or your palate can't handle anything spicy. Now that I've made that clear, on to the food. Humor me a little bit-- the food definitely makes up for all that shitty stuff and more. As is the usual fashion in Korean restaurants, they start guests off with the complimentary banchan (vegetable appetizers). Our last visit we got three of those little dishes, but I think the visit before we got four or five? It might be a hit or miss, or it might just depend on how many people you have in your party, idk. (I'm used to having about four banchan dishes to start.) We ordered: 1.) Kim chi fried rice: Yes, my fellow former Hawai'i residents, they have spam fried rice and it's the best spam fried rice you will ever eat, I shit you not. 2.) Du Kuh Bee Hand pulled noodles: This is their signature dish. Order this, obviously. 3.) Royal Palace Toppoki: I always order spicy rice cake when at a Korean establishment. Bonus points because they have a vegetarian version, which is just as good. 4.) Pork Bulgogi: This is a safe one, if you're not used to Korean food. It's alright. Anyway, those are my selections. My favorite is the hand pulled noodles. They are the shit. They're really sweet and savory. I can't wait to return to try some of their more out-there dishes. One last thing, they're open late. Like until 1AM on weekend nights. So if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle during peak dinner hours, try going later like 10p or 11p.

I adore the hell out of this place. Tenny tiny itty bitty eating space, but the drive and the wait is all worth it. Those hand shaved noodles with pork is all I dream about. I loved the chinese greens, and the bulgogi is perfect. Take al that down with some Soju and call it a night. I love that you can see the guys in the back actually tossing around the noodles! You can watch them make your noodles before it even comes out. I miss being so close to this restaurant, but my trips up to Beaverton are made better with a visit to this lovely little spot.

Du Kuh Bee has AWESOME homemade noodles! You can actually watch them making the noodles for your order. I like the spicy pork noodles. The mopar (not sure if I spelled that correctly) is also another favorite. Awesome place- friendly service. Small inside so good to go on a weeknight to avoid a wait. Only thing that made me give it four instead of five stars was that there were a lot of ants on the wall the last time I went- kind of grossed me out. Otherwise I love this place!

You waited this long, don't hold back. This place only has about 8 tables and a bar. Expect a long wait. But Asian people (I'm Asian so I can say this) are like birds when you go deep sea fishing. If they are hanging around, you know something must be worth waiting for. I went with my friend and we were feeling saucy so we ordered a lot. Shook out to only 30 bucks a person, you could do a lot worse in other places. Kalbi was all right. I'm not a big Kalbi fan, so maybe they were good by other people's standards. Chicken Bulgogi was very flavorful, but tons of cabbage to pick through. The dumplings are amazing. Perfect texture and just beautiful. There is an odd bitter taste in them though that I'm sure is supposed to be there, but I'm not much into bitte things. The pork short ribs are amazing. I've never looked forward so much to leftover so I could get into those things and not worry about the messiness that comes with spare ribs. Such a great flavorful sauce with perfectly cooked me. It's only 5 bucks more, just get the stinking large, ya cheapskate. Now the noodles are the main attraction. They will pull the noodles right in front of you. It is quite the show. They have a perfect chew and great flavor. Comes with a lot of cabbage again, so you might want to get multiples. The ambiance is not the sexiest around so you'll have to get past that. And speaking of sexy, after any good Korean meal you will stink from all the goodness oozing from your pores. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

I love the food here! Everything I have tried has been very good although I always seem to order the Kimchi fried rice and the BBQ ribs. They are so delicious and addicting! Oh and I almost forgot to mention the dumplings... Yummy! The place itself is very small so try to avoid "rush hours" if you don't want to wait too long or maybe try to do takeouts! Not much ambiance to it but since I am mostly too busy stuffing my face with all this delicious Korean food, it's all fine. Service is friendly. They also open quite late. Dishes have good portions and the prices are fair. My favorite Korean restaurant in the area.

Being a big fan of Korean BBQ (Dok Gai Bi ftw!), when my Korean friends told me there isn't a good place in Hillsboro/ Beaverton/ Portland, I was more than a little sad. But then I discovered Du Kah Bee. Small, hole in the wall place, that you wouldn't even notice if you didn't know it was there. But they know how to cook their food! I will swear by their hand pulled shrimp noodles and spicy pork bbq. The bulgogi is fantastic as well. One minor quibble would be that the one time I decided to eat in, the service was rather disappointing - lack of attention and slow in general. Maybe they had an off day. But the food quality was top notch, as usual. They don't accept take-out orders over phone on Friday and Saturday nights.

Nice service but the food portion is so little when I'm paying $12 for something. Plus this place is quite small. I came here on a Friday night and I understand the long wait but the food here was alright. Not really authentic. But nice experience.

Incredibly over-hyped. Terrible service, long wait time, bad food. I ordered the "famous" noodles everybody seems to be raving about. The handmade noodles are nothing special. It tastes like a thinner version of Korean sticky rice. Except the noodles have no taste whatsoever. The chef literally just mixed cabbage, pork, and chili powder into the noodles. Somehow, it took them an hour to get my food out. Just because it takes a long time, doesn't mean its any good. I suspect they are hand-making the noodles every time somebody orders, this doesn't do anything for the noodles and takes too long. I recommend that if you visit this location, get something other than the overpriced noodles. Looking around, I seemed to be the only person who ordered them. The other dishes looked great. Waiter service is terrible. I was given just 1 carafe of water to share between my friend and myself which was never refilled. We waited over 20 minutes just to get the bill. I won't be coming back. I don't know why people enjoy this place so much, the experience I had was terrible..

The food here is delicious. I have eaten here a few times and really enjoyed the food. The wait times can be a little long and there isn't enough seating if you go on a busy night. The food is affordable and I will be coming back when I am craving some Korean food.

If you haven't eaten here put your phone down and do it! This is a delicious hole in the wall. Go put your name in and and spend the 45 minute wait getting a drink or appetizers down at WatsonHall (they will call when they have your table). Order without a doubt their hand pulled noodle dish (you can even watch the guy make them if you sit in back). Also great is their pork mandu, kalbi ribs and cucumber salad. Don't expect to be wined and dined service wise, but expect to eat your heart out.

Fantastic!! Fresh ingredients. The noodles were delicious as was the pork bulgogi. Some of the freshest tastiest kimchi I've ever had.

Jesica F.

hand made noodle made by elderly. I saw how they make the noddles since I sat right in front of the chef. Honestly I'm not a big fan of noddle. Their noodle is thick so if you are a fan of noddle, then I would recommend to visit this place. Their spice is ok and spicy. It's a good combination though.

She R. A.

Some of the best noodles I've ever had. Reminds me of the home made noodles you get at Chinese Muslim restaurants. I've only ordered take out here. Someday I'll need to find some time to dine in.

Cara S.

This place is one of my favorite Korean restaurants. The hand pulled noodles are the PERFECT texture and the sauce (Korean chil) is simple but compliments the dish perfectly. We have tried all the bulgogi dishes and they are all fantastic, each has it's own unique taste. The kimchi is probably some of the best I have had here in oregon and the daikon is tasty. I agree with the other yelper... Don't come here if you are expecting to be waited on hand and foot. They are usually very busy and it is a small establishment so they try to accommodate everyone, but expect to wait. Come to eat and be left alone. If you want something then ASK.

Lih-Wern W.

It's a great late night option in Beaverton. It is a small place so wait times can be a little longer when it gets busy. One of the better Korean food places. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu items as I didn't get to really enjoy the food as much my first time. We had a fussy one year old keeping us busy. The hand pulled noodles is good, I can't wait to try the other dishes as well.

So you must have the pork noodles....yum! They have a range of spiciness to choose from. Not spicy, mild, medium, spicy and extra spicy. We chose medium and it was perfect for us. We also got the beef short ribs - galbi. This dish was disappointing in portion size. There were literally 5 and a half 2x2 pieces....I find this ridiculously portioned for 12 bucks. You get 4 times as much for a little more than half the price at teriyaki bowl joints. Never again for this dish. However, the noodles will still bring us back for sure! 1 star deducted for the ripoff short ribs Another star deducted for the combination of a 40 min wait at 10 pm on a Thursday for a party of 2, when there were open tables; coupled with the fact we had to chase down the waiter for refilled water and even ask twice 10 mins apart to get any service. Extremely frustrating. Again the noodles are worth it! Will try the shrimp noodles an dumplings next time too. Oh yes, we also got chicken fried rice which was okay .As my afterthought reflects...rice was not memorable

So we were here the other night because the restaurant next door was full. I feel that we should have just hedged our bets on waiting the extra 40 minutes because it seemed to take about that long for us to be served here. We were seated immediately and just when I was about to get up and leave, we were given our menus. I can give you a play by play but the bottom line is, the service sucked. It was horrible. There seems to be zero communication between the two servers and this place is small. When we said yes to rice, the server disappeared. We wanted to wait for rice to eat our spicy pork bulgolgi. No rice and more than 5 minutes have passed. The sweetheart is already digging into the bulgogi. I catch the attention of one server, ask for rice and he returns with ONE small bowl of rice. He puts this bowl of rice in front of the sweetheart. I am your typical Asian girl. I love my rice. I eat rice with everything. It surprised me how violently angry I got when this guy came back with ONE rice bowl and sets it in front of the sweetheart. I barely kept the "oh hell no" from coming out. I give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe they're cooking more rice, maybe they ran out of bowls. I had to mentally count to ten and when the sweetheart confirmed that it didn't look like the guy was coming back with another rice bowl, I went to get my rice bowl. If I had earrings, I would have been taking them off because it was on. And that, my friends, was the nail on the coffin for me. I am never coming back. Ever. For the size of this place, I expect a more efficient operation.

Fraya S.

The hand pulled noodles, of course, are amazing. The place is hidden in the middle of a bigger Korean restaurant Nakwon and some Korean shop. It is very tiny, which means you have to wait if it is busy to get a table. After you get a table, the wait time is quite long too. In no time you will find yourself already finish eating the cubed radish kimchi that they serve before your orders long come. Just make sure to order everything at once because as I said, it takes a long time to make your order. One plate is a good portion for one person, or two if you don't eat much. So just think twice if you want to share it with someone. Other than the wait, the place, the food, and the ambience are great!

Have yet to eat but service is very bad. The waiter kept waiting on other tables, seating new customers, disappearing, but not taking our orders.

It's a good thing I don't live in Beaverton because way too much of my income would go to Du Kuh Bee. Their hand-pulled noodles, which soak up all the delectable flavors of the meat, veggies and sauce, are irresistibly toothsome. The dumplings are divine - always the perfect texture, well-seasoned and flavorful. I could go on about the incredible beef bulgogi, the yummy baby bok choy, or unexpected hits like the snail salad... But really what I need to talk about are the braised pork ribs. Every time my pals and I come here we get these ribs and every time we conclude that it might just be the single most delicious and enjoyable-to-eat dish we've ever had. Oh my, these tender, melt-in-your-mouth braised ribs. They're served with tasty mushrooms and chewy little rice cakes, all swimming in a luscious, dark sauce that is savory-sweet-spicy with subtle hints of cinnamon. I daydream about this sauce, guys. I crave it. Often. Which is why Du Kuh Bee is the only restaurant I'll head to the 'burbs for - and I do so about every 1-2 months. It's just that good. Sure, you can expect a wait. Remember, it's just that good. Put your name in and head to the dive bar up one block and across the street for a drink to kill some time. Enjoy the complimentary pickled daikon and kimchi, and perhaps some chilled sake, while you wait for your food to arrive. We've had nothing but great service here, so some of the other reviews surprise me, but maybe that's because we come without unreasonable expectations and rather simply to enjoy an amazing meal with friends.

You could easily overlook this fantastic little hole in the wall restaurant in Beaverton. I've never had Korean before, so my 5-star rating is based off my lack of exposure, but I was incredibly impressed! The service was great and everyone was super friendly. My friend had the pork bulgolgi and it was perfectly seasoned, cooked and so delicious he craved it the rest of the night. The rest of my party ordered the hand-pulled noodles with chicken and pork, all of which was phenomenal. The noodles in the dish are really what make it, my other complaint would be that I wanted more chicken, but I tend to like excessive meat. The spiciness was on point. The pork dumplings were steamed to perfection and delicious, not to mention there were 10 of them! I will definitely be coming back! Get here early because this place is tiny and fills up fast, but it is worth the wait!

Tina D.

This place is really small only a few tables. Seems pretty popular with ppl waiting inside and out for a table. Walked in and it was kinda dark. No real lighting. Food was pretty good, but the service Sucked! We did a family style meal and they brought us a small bowl of rice enough for one person and there was five of us. Never came back to check on us until we got there attention and asked for another bowl of rice. They do make the food fresh and it was pretty good.

Edna C.

We decided to give Du Kuh Been a try after seeing the rave reviews. Well....we were not impressed. First of all, the restaurant wasn't even that busy and our food took over 40 minutes to arrive. Other tables were getting annoyed as well. The food finally arrives and it was just OK. The noodles, which everyone says is so wonderful, was nothing to write home about. I ordered the spicy squid and the whole plate was the same cabbage they use in the noodle dish. I only saw about 7 or 8 pieces of squid. My son's mandu soup was good. Overall, our experience was just OK. We should have walked a few doors down to Nak Won. Sorry but it's the truth.

On most days of the week, I get off work at 9pm. My choices for a late dinner that serves alcohol is very limited in this area. Burger and fries? No thanks. Du Kuh Bee is my to-go restaurant for some great late night Korean comfort food. Everyone raves about their fresh, hand pulled noodles. And yes, they are very good. But I love to order other items on the menu, like fresh dumplings, cucumber salad, grilled mackerel, and their pork hock/pig ear combination plate. They're all perfect accompaniments to soju. And a perfect way to end a long work day. It's a tiny restaurant, so theres usually at least a 30 minute wait. If you can, try to get one of the 6 seats at the counter. it is amazing to see how fast the Korean mom/chef can work her magic. Also, the waiters don't speak much English, but are fast and attentive.

Joshua M.

Tiny cramped place, long wait times, and service that's less than personable at best... but if you're looking for really good food and could care less about service and atmosphere, it really does hold its own. Every star I give this is purely for the food, and nothing to reflect the atmosphere or service. I don't think I've seen one smile in there either time I went from the workers. I really can't stress enough, and one example is once you drink your water, pretty much that's it. Both visits were this way. The food is pretty worth the trouble, but there are so many good places to eat where I get the service that keeps me coming back, I personally would try to avoid this place, especially when with a large group of people. 5 or more people and they may very well turn you away.

My family and I came here when we were all moving my brother in for college. We had been spending all day unpacking and by the time we were ready to eat, it was super late and most places were closed! I'm pretty good at finding restaurants with food I'm craving that are open late, though. :) So we found this place and we were so glad we did!! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We ordered a bunch of food and it all came out in a timely manner and it was ALL delicious. Some of the best Korean food I've ever had by far. We were so satisfied. If I'm ever back in Oregon to visit my brother or any other reason, I'll be sure to come back here. :)

Hand pulled noodles hands down. Great for late night munchies. Anticipate waiting about 20/30 minutes. Even gets Mom's stamp of approval.

Carolyn C.

The service is quite nice and attentive, the restaurant is cozy, but the menu is limited. Most importantly, there were only 2 plates of banchan (kimchi and pickled daikon). As someone who loves banchan, this is kind of a dealbreaker. The bulgolgi was alright, the soft tofu soup was very good and the noodles were also very good. That being said, the menu was very limited and I don't think I will return here. edit: This is not a typical Korean restaurant, as the waitress informed us, hence the lack of banchan. The food still very good, however I would prefer more dish options.

San T.

I don't think I've had anything bad here at Du Kuh Bee. The oyster soup, the spicy octopus stir fry, the royal palace ddukkbokki, the dumplings, the kimchi and spam fried rice, everything has been relatively tasty. What really sets them apart, however, is their handmade noodles. I usually order it spicy, with chicken. They really have the texture and flavor down here. The best part? All the times that I've been here, it's been consistent (minus the one time I ordered to go.. Won't be doing that again). Other than that, the noodles have always had just the right amount chewyness and flavor that makes it so hard to share the dish with my boyfriend since I just want to keep eating it, even after I'm full! My only gripe is that I wish they could replace the veggies with more noodles!

Heather C.

Not sure about their hours. We arrived just before 8:00 last night, and they turned off all the "OPEN" signs after we were seated. We still had a great experience, though. The food is so good here, but you will need to be a little patient for it. And, when I eat spicy food, I prefer a bigger water glass. We were able to order a plate of dumplings and one entree to feed both of us. It is a great bargain. Just be prepared to smell like Korean food for the rest of the day.

Mindy K.

The handmade noodles were very good other than the sauce they add to it. The tofu canapÃ© wasn't anything special. The sea snail salad was too spicy for my taste. The place is very small hence the long wait time. We ended up waiting for an hour to get in. It's nice that they have a wait list and they call you when it's your turn. I suggest going to a bar nearby and having a drink while you wait.

Daniel C.

Mmm hand pulled noodles. This place had me at hand pulled. My first experience was fresh hand pulled noodles in China as a wee lad of 12 years. If you've not had it, it's a must do. I get the vegetarian noodles. You must try this place. They open at 4PM. Get here early, they fill up fast!
(4)
Molly M.

This is my favorite place for noodles. I have never had noodles this good before. The noodles have the best flavor and the most amazing texture. If you eat there, a lot of the times you can see them hand pulling the noodles in the back. I love this place, and make special trips to Beaverton just to eat there.
(5)
Allison L.

My husband's friend suggested we try this place, and it was ok but I don't see us going back. I had heard rave reviews about the noodles, but was more impressed with the dumplings. The wait was long to be seated and them we just kind of felt forgotten. The staff was a little rude and rushed, and getting more water was like pulling teeth! I've had better food elsewhere.

We love the noodles! The dumplings are delicious. Great food. Limited seating but worth the wait.

Actually went here a while back. It may be deceiving, though. You might think it's some exotic Korean restaurant, and don't get me wrong it is, but its not quite what you seem. First, the food there is overpriced and actually, what you're paying for you should demand a better portion of food. Second, it's not a great place to host a restaurant. There's no light at all, and in the middle of eating you may not even know what you're eating. Third, the cooks and staff are all dull and have no sense of caring whatsoever. They only ask you what you're ordering, and at the end ask you for your precious $$$$$. Lastly, the food. It's not good needless to say not only is it overpriced and "yucky," it's not fresh either. If you think this is a good restaurant, or if you eat this on mostly a daily basis, please reconsider your options. There are plenty of more lively restaurants and fresher ones out there.

Seriously cannot say enough about this place! The food here is delicious. The first time I went I took a friend from out of town. We were floored by the house made noodles. No other place compares. I left here and proceeded to talk about this place for 2 weeks straight. I craved to have those noodles again and would try other Korean noodles, but they never compared. I finally convinced my co-worker and her boyfriend to join us here for dinner. They can attest that it lives up to the hype. This place is really small, so expect to wait, but it is totally worth it! The noodles are a must try and the braised short ribs are also high on my recommendation list. If you are in the Beaverton area I definitely suggest you stop for this one.

Awesome place for late night eats. Love their chewy noodles and dumplings were very tasty. Also tried their tofu and kimchi dish. Very tasty. Service is great and the food comes in huge portions for the price. Always went home with leftovers.

Stephanie W.

The noodles are so delicious and chewy, which is the best part of the dishes - we all know that! I would happily have a big pot of these noodles with their sauce all day, every day. The only warning is that the couple of times I've had the pork noodles, the meat they've used is occasionally fatty and relatively inedible. Interestingly enough, last time we went, the Beef Bulgogi was far more delicious than the noodle dish we purchased. So don't be afraid to try other dishes at Du Kuh Bee!

another amazing time, second trip and not the last. had a short wait but totally didn't mind it, I'm in love with these noodles man. and the pork bulgolgi. and the ribs. I can't stop.

Wait: we arrived around 7:05pm on a Friday, and our wait was about 40 minutes. We were a party of four people. The wait for our food, however, was pretty quick given the wait for a table and the perceived business level in the place. Maybe 10 - 15 minutes. Location/Space: Cramped/ cozy, casual, had the feeling of a little food stall or mini-restaurant common in China. Service: Despite some other reviews, we did not have a long wait for our food, and the young guy serving us was as attentive as need be. He checked in but was not over-bearing. He was responsive to eye contact. Food: Food was lovely. We ordered shrimp fried rice, two chicken noodles (one with extra portion of noodles), one pork noodle, and an order of dumplings. The noodles were great - thick, chewy, long. The sauce was different than what I was hoping for but still good and the spicy/hot level was perfect for my brother and I (we chose whatever was the most middle of their spicy scale).We were happy to have a little left over for a snack the next day. I didn't eat any of the dumplings, but the were described as, "meh... they were okay". Overall, the next time I'm in Portland, you'll probably find me here indulging in more noodles!

I've been reading about this place for years. We found ourselves in Beaverton on a Thursday night just in time to hit traffic on our way home, so instead we decided to stop somewhere and sit and look at each other instead of looking at the back ends of cars while sitting on the freeway. There is another Korean restaurant next door that had huge windows and was very inviting. Duh Kuh Bee has an old door with no windows, this is why we wanted to eat here. It's crowded and loud, there are constantly people coming in and signing the waiting list to get a table. We were lucky enough to walk right in and get a seat. I let my wife do all the ordering as the only thing I cared about getting was a beer. She ordered pigs ear and ham hock appetizer, the seafood salad special, pan fried calamari with rice cakes, mackerel, spicy hand pulled noodles with chicken. The staff quickly filled up our table with all the dishes, everything was so good and so filling. The seafood salad was our favorite, I kept rotating through the dishes by having a bite of mackerel and then wanting a bite of the calamari and then back to the salad. All this food and beers was under $75 with tip, the staff is super friendly and everyone is smiling.

Arinda P.

They have the best food! Everything I've ordered here has been perfectly seasoned and well cooked. My favorites dishes are the pork mandu, sliced pork hock and ears, extra spicy hand pulled noodles, stir fried bok choy, and galbi ribs. This is a tiny restaurant so he prepared to wait, especially on weekends. Well worth it though!

this place is grimy, homely, unattractive, tiny, crowded and.... serves about the best god-damned korean food we've ever had. and listen, all you local bitches: we just moved up here from los angeles which has inCREDible korean food and bulgogi coming out of its motherfucking ears, ok? so i know a thing or two, punks. we had the ribs, the noodles and basically shook our heads in disbelief. it was that good. and lemme tell you, foodie fuckers: when the food is so good that it actually transcends the lack of any real atmosphere - you can be sure i'll go back. a lot of people mention the long wait. we had none. but we also went by right about 6pm. so there's that if you're not into the "put your name on a list and then wait 90min to eat" situation. and really: who the fuck would?! do it. go. annnnnnnnnd: done.

The absolute best korean bbq I have ever had.you can't go wrong with anything in the menu, but you must have a homemade noodle dish, the pork is the best one. Be prepared to wait however as the restaurant is extremely small and popular

So good for late night eats, definatly an after the bar hot spot. We usually pick up to go, hand made noodles a must! One noodle can order can easily feed to unless you are a huge eater! We usually get spicey veggie and love it. Kids like the fried rice. You should give it a try.
(5)
Jerlyn A.

I wish I could eat their home made spicy noodles every day. This hole in the wall restaurant is a great late night place to eat, they are open until 12pm Friday and Saturday. Whenever I order take out, it takes about half an hour...but it is totally worth it. The noodles are made to order, if you eat in front of the kitchen, you can watch them make the noodles. Only downside when you eat here is that your clothes smell like the food...but IT'S SO WORTH IT!!
(5)
Connie C.

Be a Du Kuh Be believer! Believe the hype..expect great unusual Korean street food! If you want 8 side dishes and traditional Korean food like table bbq and bibimbop, then by all means (please! More room for me!) Eat at the larger and flashier Korean restaurant next door... But if hand pulled noodles (veggie ones are fine, better priced than the meat added one's) are your thing, unusual dishes like beef with rice cake and brown sauced noodles are your thing..you won't be disappointed! We've been here 20 times, from right at the 4 PM opening to midnight hours, the food is always consistent, flavorful and spot on! The side of pickeled turnips are to die for, noodles, pork and kimchie, handmade dumplings, bulgogi, kalbi, spicy cucumbers, etc..everything is unique and amazing. I'm kicking myself thinking about this because they are closed on Sundays! Boo hoo! Seeming as though only one guy is always pulling noodles, I guess he gets one day off! Probably my favorite restaurant in town... Love, love, love!

Jay W.

I used to come here all the time for the great noodle dishes. About a week ago after not visiting for about a year we stopped in. OMG.. how things have changed. The staff is now dressed up in hipster kinda uniforms and the service is abysmal. The kitchen is slower than ever . It takes a good hour to get your food and that's after a waiter decides you exist.

Jenny H.

Eh, sorry Du Kuh Bee I'm just not a fan. I've never understood why there's always a long line of people. People rave about their handmade noodles but I've had much better handpulled noodles elsewhere. Their lack of good side dishes also makes the restaurant less appealing to me. I love Korean restaurants for their side dishes and Nakwon is a much better bet in my opinion. Kimchi Fried Rice ($10) = probably my favorite item here Handmade noodles($12-14) = okay dish but on the oily side for me. Noodles are nice and chewy. Handmade dumplings ($6) = nothing special to me and didn't taste any better than the frozen ones sold at supermarkets Spicy pork + potato stew ($10) = had this dish twice and it wasn't consistent. First time it was rich and flavorful so I loved it but the second time the soup was watery and flavorless. I prefer Spring restaurant's version. Napa with spicy pork ($12) = I was not a fan of this fatty meat dish cooked with lots of oil

Toon T.

Hand-pulled noodles w kim chi seasoning are the best! I could order just noodles, noodles, and more noodles!! Tried the chicken gizzard, bean noodles, and dumplings but were all ok and nothing in comparison to the noodles. Can't wait to go back! Expect the long wait times as other reviewers have remarked but you can leave your # & they will be sure to call when a table is ready.

Bob P.

Those chicken noodles are amazing. It takes a little while sometimes, but sit at the bar and watch them work. It is very entertaining from the noodle stretching, ingredient portioning, to the wok. Have a cold beer and enjoy! Once they arrive, I can't stop eating...I am usually stuffed about half way through, but I never need a to-go box...they are gone!

After watching 20 episodes of the Korean show "City Hunter," the wifey and I were really in the mood for Korean food and Hyundais. Du Kuh Bee (DKB) satisfied that need! Echoing the other reviews: 1. The initial entry into the restaurant is a bit confusing. Just head towards the back to the kitchen to be seated. 2. The restaurant is a bit small but I loved the cozy feeling. 3. I liked being really close to the kitchen and watching the noodles being pulled. 4. The waiter was friendly and helpful. His recommendations were perfect. Personally I found the hand-pulled noodles and dumplings here practically identical to those found at Frank's Noodle House (FNH). DKB's noodles are better because of the lower prices and larger portions. The hand-pulled noodles and shrimp were really good. The noodles were appropriately tender, chewy, and flavorful. I also liked how the bowl of rice was free, unlike FNH. DKB is also easier to get to from the west side. If the City Hunter were real, then he would dine at DKB.

Martin W.

Good stuff here. Seems pretty authentic too. Not super cheap but certainly not an "expensive" place by portland standards. Noodles are good!! They do take a little while to come out though. Its also a very busy place on some night you may have to wait to be seated in the small space they have.

What a surprise, I think I found THE korean restaurant for me! I thought I've never been there before but I actually have. That was after a party and I didn't know where I was; the only thing I remembered was I really enjoyed the food. Du Kuh Bee is a very small restaurant with not a lot of sitting area, they have an open kitchen and a very tiny bar. CONS: The restaurant was very COLD. After 10 minutes of eating, our food completely cooled down. I really wanted to get my jacket from the car but I was too busy stuffing my mouth. Seriously, I'm warning you, this place is cold. FOOD: KIMCHI FRIED RICE: simply delicious. I prefer it to be spicier, but it was flavorful enough. Looked appetizing, tasted amazing. SPICY PORK GOGIGUI: one piece of pork+sautÃ©ed onion+kimchi= delicious. SOFT TOFU SOUP: love this soup. It didn't look that delicious but after adding in the spicy sauce, it tasted amazing. I really liked the minced pork in the soup, it tasted a bit like Italian sausage. Overall I really enjoyed the food. The service was alright, they were pretty busy in the evening. On the storefront, there's a line in Chinese that says: Best Noodle on Earth... Ummm I will definitely come back to test out their noodles!

I wasn't happy with the food. I dine in in the afternoon and ordered a bulgogi with beef and the house special noodle with pork. I expected the noodle to be quite great tasting according to the other yelpers' reviews. I somehow disagree. The dish I ordered barely had any pork in there. More of the lettuces and other types of veggie but less pork. For a less pork dish as was, I don't think it deserve to be $12/dish. The bulgogi was ok. It was served with a bowl of rice. The beef was cut in small pieces making it hard to pick up to eat with the rice. I kind of like the idea that they put clear rice noodle in the beef bulgogi bowl. Other than that, I wasn't impressed. Their side dish is simple, white radish and kimchi. I was expected to have some kind of sweet potatoes. They don't serve that like at JCD place. In my opinion, I like eating at JCD more compare to this one. I just wanted to try it out since there were quite many four stars reviews on here.

Always the best. Always good service here (mainly because the waiter recognizes my boyfriend and I as weekly regulars). Always large portions. You must order their hand made noodles with chicken and a side of their flavorful pork bugogi and tender handmade dumplings. Do as I say and your palette will thank me.

They do a few things really really well. Noodles are one of them. 3 out of 5 stars was not that spicy for someone who is ok with some spice. Go more if you like it spicy. Only downside to the meal was the kimchee fried rice. It was nothing special.

It's a really thin dining area so not recommended if you're claustrophobic. Not really good for a group more than three people. Don't let that deter you though! Really great food, friendly staff and they are open late!

Food is amazing prices to match AND open late. Loved it and will return. It's right directly behind a competitors sharing a back wall. But this place was full and continued filling up with locals well past 11pm. I found it by accident and am hooked!

Best hand tossed noodle in the Portland area!! It does take a while to get your food but once it's on your table you will devour the noodles!!! Amazing food and always nice staff!

I can no longer recommend Du Kuh Bee as a place to dine within the Portland Metro Area. Four years ago I raved about it, but the service has drastically deteriorated within the past 12 months - they seemed to have hired an inexperienced waitstaff who would rather stand around and chat while drinking their sodas than helping the customers. We dined there last night and waited over 35 minutes for our drinks, had to ask them repeatedly, all while they stood there doing nothing. Our appetizer sat ready to be served for over 5 minutes in the "window" and was nearly cold by the time it made it to her our table. By the time our food actually made it to our table, we had been sitting there for nearly an hour. The portion sizes have decreased as well, and once they bring you the check, they're nearly running you out the door to seat the next party. They really need to hire better staff if they want to keep their reputation up, otherwise they will start losing their loyal customers to DJK or Nak Won, which is right next door.

I'm a fan of this little hole in the wall. I'd come here more often if it weren't for the lines. They're known for their hand pulled noodles which have a nice chewy texture. I always order the vegetarian noodles and try something new off of the menu. The kimchee fried rice is always good, as well as the dumplings. You can't go wrong with those three. One thing I wouldn't order here is the bbq. There are other places that do it better. Overall, I've tried many dishes and haven't had a bad dish.

Man this place was tasty. Great home made noodles. I would recommend the squid seafood option. We had the pork one and the seafood was way better. Braised Pork was hands down my favorite however if you get queasy over bones, it's probably not for you. Home made dumplings were very tasty as well. The only thing that I didn't impress me was the beef bulgogi. I was definitely craving it and it did satisfy my craving but I won't come back here for bulgogi.

My wife took me here last week for the first time. I've been back 3 times. Small and cozy, with unbelievable food. I'm not an expert in Korean food so I cant speak to how authentic it is but I can say it is delicious! Squid salad, spare ribs, pig ear salad and noodles made to order are all fantastic. I will say this, plan on 2 hours minimum. You will wait to be seated even if tables are open. you will wait 15-20 minutes for your food. You will get your food and forget about how bad the service is! I would give 5 stars if it were not for service. That said I'm heading back soon.

Junyu Y.

Average food. Nothing special. The server was pretty rude. We got in with two people, wanted to sit at the bar where the space is empty. The server shuffle us to the waiting area at the door where there was no seat available. He never explanation why we can't sit at the bar. Ok food with bad feeling? Never come again

I've lived in the area for ten years, and never found this place before this year. It's tucked away right next to another restaurant, easy to miss as a result. I LOVE the late night hours, the counter seats where you can watch the action of the noodles being hand-pulled, and the picked radish while you wait. Service can be a tad slow at times, but nothing outrageous. It's a small place, but they manage to make it feel cozy and comfortable. I usually get the noodles without meat, but I splurged on the pork once, to see what that was like. I wish there had been more meat, for the extra $4! I'm not sure it's worth it, and that is my largest complaint. Their soups are also very delicious. I'm happy to have this place to lurk in late at night, or early evening. I definitely try to avoid the dinner time rush! Chilled water in plastic juice containers are a nice touch. Better late than never, for me. Thrilled this place exists in Beaverton.

Had pork hock&ear salad, kimchi fried rice, and pork noodle. All taste good. Big portion. 4 star for slow... Even the salad took almost half an hour.

I usually avoid at his type of food but the place is very cute and I had probably the best shrimp fried rice I've ever had, if you like this. I wish I had the recipe.

Stacey G.

This place is just fun. I hear it can get super duper crowded so I feel very lucky I have been able to sit down quickly. The staff is very nice and keep an eye on you without being annoying. The food is cooked fresh in plain site and everything I have ever ordered has been exceptional. The portions are huge and we always take things home. It is usually even better the next day
(4)
Phil T.

This place was a great example of a small place with big flavor! You would not expect much from this hole in the wall if it wasn't for all the great reviews on yelp. I'm happy to say they exceeded everyone of my expectations with their hand pulled noodles and beef bulgogi.
(5)
Joshua L.

Waited about an hour to be seated...given it was quite busy but three couples before us were seated first. Also the space is quite dense and crowded. Unless if you sit towards the back. Food was great though. Wish there we're more side dishes.

Love this place! Hand pulled noodles are to die for. Always fresh, the service is great. Super lowkey spot. Here almost every week! Definitely worth trying.

I really love their dumpling and pork noodle. They open till midnight! It is a great thing for me because i always eat late. Their soup reminds me of my grandma soup! I always bring all of my friends or guest to Duh Kuh Bee and they always want to go back everytime visiting portland! The owner is very nice and friendly! The best noodle in pdx for me !

Sungmin C.

This restaurant is not good.... Waiters don't care the customers while in waiting(after sitting on the table, waiting almost two hours) and the food is using wrong recipe. Mafa tofu is not this one! R u kidding me?! I think make myself is better than here!

The handmade noodles here are literally amazing. I will say that I got "medium" spiciness, afraid that maybe I was too white for anything more, but it was barely spicy at all, so don't be afraid to go hard. Their barbequed chicken was also really good. My only complaint would be the lack of side dishes in comparison with some of the other Korean places I've been in Beaverton.

Deon F.

Tried for the 1st time and our food was excellent! Homemade noodles to die for! Very authentic delicious foods to chose from! I'm on a healthy kick and still found excellent choices with a Spicy cucumber salad and squid dish ! The only con is the place is really I mean REALLY small so bring a book/mag or have good company cuz you will be waiting to sit... But it was worth the wait! Also very friendly staff too! If you order a plate and salad you will be leaving w/leftovers!
(4)
Anne N.

Uh what!? Hand made noodles!? This place is amazing! My friend and I ordered three dishes, the stir fried pig intestines were duh bomb! The flavor was just right! And the handmade noodles?? Mmmm~ the noodles were just the right texture, not too chewy but not too soft! This is my all time favorite Korean/ Chinese fusion restaurant. If only I live close by I would come at least once a week! It is a must try! And definitely order at least one handmade noodle dish!
(5)

Technically felt to be Korean fusion, but DO GO. Bulgogi is absolutely amazing, as is the jellyfish salad. But the main draw for us are the house made noodles. Wait can be an issue, plan accordingly. It's worth it.

Du Kuh Bee is the best Korean restaurant I have ever eaten at, period. Everything is excellent, so order anything you'd like. When you are in this small restaurant you simply forget you are in downtown Beaverton...you could be anywhere in the world...NYC, LA, Seoul. The service is good enough and the Hite beer is cold. Things to order if it's your first time: 1. Spicy Pork Noodles (get them spicy...it's not too hot). These hand-pulled noodles are the showstopper. If you sit at the bar, you will be able to watch them make these noodles. It's really just a spectacle to watch. 2. Dumplings. These are just right... 3. BBQ Pork. It's essentially a big plate of Korean bacon. Mmm...korean bacon...aaagghhhh (Homer Simpson voice). 4. Dumpling soup. This soup would make even the most sick person immediately feel better. It's like eating a warm embrace. Hope this helps!

I felt like I had left Oregon. Quaint, full of people eating exotic food ( ok, it was squid), with wonderful smells, and a busy, crazy kitchen.Just watching the people in the kitchen work made our visit a happy one. What an awesome little place. We lucked out and walked right in and got a table, no wait, on a Saturday night about 6:30 after a long day of soccer. We also parked on the street right in front of the door. I felt like karma was smiling on us. We were HUNNNNNNNNNNNNNGRY. Yeah, I know everyone else has reviewed it. I don't care, I want to too. I do have a warning, if you have kids with you who are not always up for spicy food, make sure you stress the "NOT SPICY" part, we felt like we had, but all of our food had some heat. Luckily, Princess rallied, but she drank a TON of water. Our verdict? Braised pork shortribs:A+. Come with onions, mushrooms, sauce. YUM. Hubby groused about the bones but I noticed he ate more of these than I did. Chicken Noodles: A- ( I agree with others, skip the chicken, it's about the noodles, a minus for two slivers of chicken, maybe three). Chewy goodness. Pork Dumplings: A +succulent, delicious. Our kid was like, WHAT IS THAT with great and embarrassing suspicion, but after she ate one she lunged at the others. Fortunately there are 9 on the plate. Spicy Cucumber Salad: B ( too spicy, it about killed us, maybe we're wussy, but too hot for gringos even us spice eating gringos, although I pondered that if we'd had beer it might have gone better for us). It was beautiful to look at, but we couldn't finish it, way heavy on the chiles. Rice: Necessary, A ( needed for Pork Shortrib"s delicious precious liquid, which initially ended up on my shirt, and I tried to lick it off... ok, not really, but I could have if no one was looking, the rice was a nice way to scoop that up). This was fun. At first, Princess was like ," EWWW yucky, EWWW spicy" ( and I frankly wanted to kill her, ok, not really, but she annoyed me) but then she caught sight of the man pulling noodles and got a cute little spoon to eat her rice with and was busy stuffing dumplings in her mouth, and she settled in. Thank heavens. ( Oh,ok, I will admit it. We promised her some mudslide ice cream and Dr. Who when we got home and that totally helped). As we left, passing the line of grateful people waiting outside ( yeah, a table freed up!), she reflected," that was a decent adventure, mom". Cool. P.S. our cute little water bottle was frozen solid but they were quick to bring us a new one and made sure it was full the whole time, which was a good thing. They also brought my kid a fork when I thought she wanted one. ( turns out she didn't and made a good attempt with the slippery chopsticks, but I liked how they handled that request and all of our others so efficiently).

It's a hole in the wall kind of place but the food is so good that makes you go back there again and again. The only bad thing is that everybody think so too, so the waiting line sometimes can get really hectic trying to get a table.

Miwako T.

I really love the hand-pulled noodles! We were there on Sat night and were able to see a guy making the noodles in the kitchen since we were seated at the table at the very back of the restaurant. The only cons I can think of: They serve only 2 side dishes (compared to, say, 10, Nakwan does) They seem to be busy cooking for a lot of takeout orders.. and the service was pretty slow.

The last time I ate here prior to my recent visit was about 5 years ago. We landed at about 9 at night and were eagerly wanting to start our dining bonanza in Portland. We sat down (luckily very quickly) and began watching the chef in the back make fresh noodles to cook. I was already amazed. I don't recall what we had but I do remember falling in love with the food. Fast forward to this year and we have heard some bad rumors, the place has changed management and the quality has slipped. Still we had to try it. Once again, we landed from the airport late at night and needed something that was still open. They were so packed that they wouldn't seat us (it was about 15 mins prior to closing), so I wasn't happy about that. However they were willing to compromise by cooking the meal for us and allowing us to take it home. We ordered the black bean noodles, dumplings, pork noodle, bok choy, calbi, and the gizzards. The black bean noodles were sweet and fresh. The dumplings were just as good as I had remembered. Those pork noodles were pan fried to perfection. The bok choy was just standard bok choy and I wouldn't recommend it again. The calbi was not memorable either. The gizzards were full of flavors. I definitely like the food here, I wish it was just a bit larger to accommodate more people but maybe that's part of the ambiance.

I like weird stuff. Andrew Zimmern's "Bizarre Foods" is one of my favorite shows, so not surprisingly, I love, love, LOVE Spam. Yes, Spam. That spongy, meaty goodness that just screams "what am I?!" in your mouth. And then there's Kimchi. Also in my book considered "goodness," but in the pickled, spiced cabbaged sort-of way. So, of all people in the world, you would think that I would be aware of a dish combining the two! But no, not until this weekend did I learn of this wild concoction, blending East/West into one big pickeld sponge. The ambiance at DKB is like a small Japanese Izakaya, and one can peer over their shoulder into the open-kitchen and watch as their food is prepared. I think this is a fun place to go with a small group of friends for Korean/Chinese type food, and I certainly had a good time. Plus, I have to say, I did like the Kimchi fried Rice at DKB. But you might not!

Lelay P.

Oh my goodness, I'm having a mouth orgasm right now just thinking about this place. Their hand pulled noodles really is the best god-damn noodles I have ever had. I don't know if it's cocaine that they put in there, but frankly, I don't care. I'm renaming it "the god's vagina noodles" or TGV noodles for short. It really is that good. You can hear some sort of celestial harmony when those noodles get to your table. My breath is actually quickening just thinking about this. I always get the pork one. We also had some grilled squid, pork bulgagi, and beef. I'm sure they were good, I can't know for sure because when I start chowing down on their TGV noodles, I can't hear or see anything else. Yes I recommend this to everyone. If you can sit on the bar, do so. You can see the guy pulling those noodles by hand. My only regret, is that I have only discovered this two weeks ago. But now my life won't be complete if I don't come in here at least once a week.

Roti P.

Great food, good price, and friendly staff. Love the tiny family run hole in the wall place. This is a place where hard working people makes a honest living. Spicy fried chicken noodle and dumplings are our weekly staples here. Always consistently good. If you are reading this and haven't tried, come down here and you won't regret it.

Love their noodles and their stews everything is tasty. Just don't wear anything fancy in there it will smell like Korean food after....unless you like that

Kelsie H.

WOW!!!! My sister in law brought me here. Its Korean food, and right next door to another Korean restaurant. Dont be thrown off. Its a hole in the wall. But people will show up and wait over an hour for a table. They only have maybe ten tables including a tiny bar you can sit at and watch them make the food. A couple other tables allow you to see them make the food. Sitting at the table is another waiting game, because they make everything fresh, even the noodles, which are amazing. The long waits are worth every bite. Each dish has different levels of spicy, or not spicy. The prices are ranged from $8-$15 depending on your desire for meat, if any. Five star.
(5)
Beth G.

Wow, yes. More please. After reading stellar reviews about this sleepy little Korean restaurant right under my nose in my home town of Beaverton, I have to say I walked away impressed. As others have noted, yes it is small and there are only a handful of tables. What it lacks in space, it makes up for in charm, my friend. Dragging my brother along we were seated in the very back, which was fantastic because it allowed us a front row seat to the noodle pulling master and the magic coming out of the kitchen. After reading yelp beforehand and checking out the menu, I ordered for us. We started with the dumplings, which -no joke- melted in my mouth. Made by the wife of the noodle master, she obviously has fully honed her craft. This place is so unique and handcrafted, you couldn't duplicate it. Fantastic food, nice family run environment and you won't leave hungry. Go earlier and it won't be too packed to be seated right away. It tends to fill up after 6pm and the seating area is small and compact.

Dustin S.

Very good food, very good prices... but cramped (and hot) on the inside of the store. I've had about half of the menu so far and everything I've had has been very good. Every time I've had the spicy noodles, they have been fantastic.

3.5 stars Was a little disappointed with their spicy pork. NOT SPICY AT ALL! quick service, a bit pricier than other restaurants nearby. but, i will come back and try their noodles (didn't get it this time)

Maggie N.

3.5 stars, if I could. Arrived at 10pm on a Saturday night. Had to wait about 25 mins but the staff were really friendly. The place is small and cozy. We ordered one beef ribs, one sliced beef, jelly fish salad, and another dish. Beef ribs and the jelly fish salad were good. Sliced beef was just meh. One thing: I wish they had more than just two side dishes :( the staff was very nice when we asked for refill though! We had a bottle of some soju mix and it was also quite good.

Even if this place only served their house made noodles, I'd go on the daily. Love the atmosphere too. Always had a positive experience with staff and service.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
