the food and service is really nice. place is small but that’s what makes it really cozy. i would recommend the pork belly and beef bulgogi. the owner is a really nice and funny guy. 10/10 would go back again. don’t really recommend big groups tho, spaces are tight but small group 4-5 is just nice and comfortable :)

I went for dinner at Don Dae Bak with a friend and we decided to go with the KBBQ buffet. We got everything but chicken and found the meat very tasty and fresh. The side dishes were generous and we enjoyed the free flow egg. The tables were kind of near each other but everything else about the place was great. Bathroom was clean too.

Went for the buffet once again! And as usual the food was great~ The quality of service has definitely improved since my previous visits; servers were friendly, very initiative to change the grills and proactive asking whether we needed more sides or meats regularly throughout our entire meal 😊 (which we definitely did, the kimchi here is SO GOOD ) Needless to say, DDB made a great impression on my friends who went for the first time. Thank you 🙏🏻

One of the best and most authentic Korean restaurant in Korean. And one of very few restaurants where all the of the dishes are not the best but above average with some exceptional dishes. Love this place! Great friendly and nice Korean owners with good staff.

The service was excellent, as waiting times were short, and they were even willing to hold my table even though I was running late. However, perhaps they could include items like 1 rice per person in the buffet price, but that is a non-issue as the side dishes are free flow. Great experience overall!

We had booked last minute using quandoo. But the restaurant said it’s not reflected in their system and we could only wait. After a long time, they ushered us to a table for family (although it’s only the 2 of us). Unfortunately it was gas grill, not charcoal as what we expected. We did ask if we could move to another table that we saw was empty. But they said it will take us another 40 mins of waiting. Too bad.

Always love Don Dae Bak for its charcoal BBQ. Waiting time for food to arrive is a little slow as the restaurant was understandably understaffed. But overall, great service with a smile as always! Will be back!

Food is good. Staff are super in serving. However it took a bit longer to get their attention since they are very short of staff. I will go in smaller group next time in order to take the table using charcoal to bbq.
