It’s a food cart with covered place to eat and sit. The food is 🔥. I was told about this place from some local Portlanders and it didn’t disappoint. I highly recommend the KJG dog. It’s apparently the 3rd best in the nation. It’s definitely number 1 in Oregon. Go there bring friends and support great food!!

I took home the spicy pork bowl and boy was it worth it. It was enough food for two meals and it was rich, spicy, crunchy, all the things. It's on a cool part of Division and easy to find. The staff was really helpful in recommending what to order. So happy I stumbled upon this spot and will be returning.

So freaking good! The (off menu) munchwrap is simply a perfect balance of rich, tangy, crunchy, sweet and spicy, all in a package that is easy to eat one-handed. Highly recommend

It’s pretty good, not saying it’s totally worth the hype but a decent Korean box meal. Beef short ribs cut too thick, too tough for me, flavor was on point.

I got the Bulgogi Bibim Box and it had a lot of great flavor but the quality of the beef was a little lower than I thought it would be. It was a little fatty and not cut all the way through. I would go back though!

This place has some pretty good food and you can smell the aroma of it when around. We got the bulgogi bibim box with extra galbi. This box came out pretty heavy packed with goodness. I enjoyed that the beef bulgogi were thicker cuts of beef. The galbi had a great flavor to it. When mixed it all together, it was well worth the wait in the cold.

Soooo good! If you haven’t tried Kim Jong Grillin yet, you’re definitely missing out. We had two Bibim Boxes: Galbi and Spicy Pork and I literally finished mine in minutes! The flavors are on point and the serving size is 🫰

Cool and popular food cart on Division. Food was great and in generous portions. Would be nice to have the rice stir fried with the meat / sauce (just my opinion - probably not the correct way). Service was also outstanding.

Great stuff. I tend to think of bbq when Korean carts come to mind, but their kimchi fried rice is amazing on its own. My biggest frustration is that I really want to try their hot dog, but keep getting sidetracked by other parts of the menu.
