My son told me about this restaurant. I've lived in the area for 17 years and didn't know about it. A hidden gem. I will definitely be coming back to try other dishes.

Been going here for years (around 6) and it's always been amazing. Highly recommend getting their soups (my favorite is the Gamja Tang) ❤️ their mackerel is also amazing! The servers are always super kind and attentive, one of the reasons I always come back when I have a chance!
One of my favorite Korean restaurants and such a hidden gem. My go to usually is the cold noodles (bibim naengmyeon) but it’s only served in the summer time.Food - Great, never has any complaints. I tried the Kal Guksu for the first time and it was ok. My favorite has always been the Bibim Naengmyeon when they have it in the summer time. The JJin Mandu are also very good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?Service - Service is always fast and I love the complementary tea they serve. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Atmosphere - even though it’s a small restaurant, I do really enjoy the space, it has very home-like vibes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?Parking: Parking can be a challenge if the restaurant and store is busy.

The food is always amazing at Always Spring. It's always crowded during peak hours (lunch and dinner), but the wait is never too long. GMart is right below, so if you need to walk around a bit, you can.

If you haven't tried this little hole-in-the-wall Korean restaurant located at the top of a little Korean grocery store then you should ASAP! I recommend the #35, #38 and #7!

Very delicious, authentic Korean foods. I like everything we ordered. Great place for yummy foods, not for you if you're looking for a great service experience.
Trust me I tried most of korean restaurants in oregon but this one was the best because first of all the fresh side dishes thats being made everyday and the flavor of the food is amazing went there for almost 4 years so

Upstairs in a Korean grocery store. Looked pretty authentic. Staff is nice and friendly. Steamed potstickers and sauce were great!Fried mackerel was overcooked and pretty dry but ok.Seafood bibimbap had good flavor but was definitely missing the best part of the burned on rice on the bottom.Side dishes were solid and refilled once. Kimchi could have been more sour.All in all - a solid 4 star place.

It has been a while since I have eaten here. The restaurant is upstairs of the Grocery Store. I was craving for good home style korean and I wanted to have fried mackerel. This may not be a popular choice here. It took a while before it came and when it did, the mackerel was somewhat over cooked and burnt. It did not meet my expectations. I think I will still come back at some point but will stick to ordering the more common dishes.Parking: Parking lot appears to be small so if it was crowded on a grocery shopping day it may be difficult to get parking

Great food, convenient location above Korean market. Basic, plain decor and not much atmosphere.
