In 2021, Katherine Chew Hamilton of Portland Monthly called Du's Grill "a true Portland institution" and "perhaps the city's finest example of the Korean-style teriyaki popular throughout the Pacific Northwest".[6] She and Matthew Trueherz included the chicken teriyaki plate in the magazine's 2024 overview of "our 12 favorite budget-friendly Portland diishes under $13".[5] Willamette Week has said Du's Grill offers "the best Korean teriyaki in the known universe".[3] The restaurant was included in the newspaper's 2018 guide to inexpensive dining in outer northeast Portland,[11] and Aaron Mesh said the teriyaki was "the best in the country" in 2023.[12]
Janey Wong included Du's Grill in Eater Portland's 2023 overview of twelve "remarkable" restaurants in the Rose City Park and Roseway neighborhoods.[4] Michael Russell included Du's Grill in The Oregonian's overviews of the forty "best inexpensive restaurants" in the metropolitan area.[13][14] He had previously included the restaurant in the newspaper's 2018 overview of ten "cheap eats destinations" in Beaverton and Hillsboro, noting the outposts's upcoming launch.[15]
Aminé is a fan of the restaurant and ate there for his eighteenth birthday. He has said, "I was just constantly going there as a teenager; Du's is such a staple. On my 18th birthday, I had no plans, so my friends and I went there, we went to that park right by Grant, and I ate my Du's for my 18th birthday. I had a sentimental mood that birthday."[16]
