About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Gluten-free-friendly
N to Tail is a Korean Fusion restaurant located in the heart of Portland Maine. Featuring family style Korean Barbecue downstairs, Korean fine dining upstairs, and new bars located on both levels. Please be sure to specify in your reservation which concept you would like for your dining experience.

Korean BBQ is a fun interactive way to experience Korean Cuisine. On the Korean BBQ level, there is a raw kitchen which provides a wide variety of marinated meat and vegetables. They are then brought to your table raw where your server will teach you the Korean BBQ grilling process. Each table has a grill built into the center to cook your selections on. The best part? Your food never comes out cold since you can eat right off the grill!

We are now offering Korean fusion on the top floor of our restaurant. By now I’m sure everyone knows how awesome Korean BBQ is. Now we are so happy to say that you can come in and enjoy some Korean food without having to cook it your self!

    Overall meh. The service was way too slow. Server was attentive at first and very kind, but seemed “in the weeds” when it was seemingly slow. Had to remind her a few times of things we ordered and hadn’t yet received. Empty cocktails, wine, Empty water glasses too often. Apps were great, KFC Bao, Spicy fried chicken, dumplings, edamame, seaweed salad. Bbq items were just okay. Veggies had 0 seasoning, just raw veggies. 👎 We waited on the rice and Ssam for way way too long. Had the meat and veggies long before. So it wasn’t a cohesive meal. Accompaniments were much too small to actually be shared between the 2-3 people it recommended. We’d try upstairs if we ever decide to go back. But not downstairs again, now do we feel the need to go again.

    We went during the week and it was very quiet but according to the staff, its quite busy on weekends. I can tell this will be a great Saturday night out experience; authentic Korean BBQ with a nice presentation. Food quality appeared very high and the staff was friendly. Only complaints is are the price and speed of service. The bill for 2 people was about 140 (for one of the BBQ platters). Also the service was very slow.

    Raw tuna was outstanding and the spicy chicken Bao buns were to die for! The bibim bam bowl was boring in comparison to the rest of our meal. Initial table service was quite slow but I think the server didn't have any bar support. The draft from the door in our section was chilly every time it opened. Overall very impressed with the food and will definitely come back!

    Took an hour to get drinks, yes a solid hour. Issue was the drinks for sent to the wrong table, those people ended up with free drinks which was annoying. Open kitchen concept is cool but not when you see the Chef handling three different kinds of meat then tossing salads by hand.

    The food was phenomenal but the service was extremely slow. We waited 25 minutes to get our drink orders in and another hour to get our food order in. We waited almost 2 hours all in all to receive our apps and main dishes.

    The friend chicken mashed potato balls were amazing! Great, authentic Korean cuisine. Would recommend the upstairs restaurant as well as downstairs which has bbq style where you cook your food in front of you.
