Tucked away next to Joy Cinema in Tigard, Honey Spicy offers a variety of to-go Korean bowls and snacks.

While Kkoki is mainly a Korean barbecue spot, the fried chicken here is no joke. Kkoki only serves the yangnyeom chicken, which is a small speck on the menu under the special dishes.

Kkoki has two locations, one in SE Portland and the other in Beaverton. Both are doing indoor dine-in, takeout and delivery.
