If you love fusion food, then this is "dPLACE" for you. You have to order the OC galbi, prepared in the Korean banchan style. The meat is incredibly tender and juicy, served with pickled sides and traditional sauces that elevate the flavor! Don't miss out on their appetizers, like the refreshing grapefruit burrata and salmon carpaccio. If you enjoy a little spice or prefer something creamy, the jjampong pasta or the seafood risotto are also great options. End your meal on a sweet note with any of their desserts and drinks. The servers were attentive and I loved the color changing lamp. This spot is perfect for events, date nights or hangout with your friends!

This place had amazing food! We had good service, the employees were friendly, and they use little robots to bring the food to each table, which is really cool, so that the servers just have to unload the food and don't have to carry it all to the table. Highly recommend this place!

I finally had the chance to try dPlace! When we first sat down, I noticed the nice ambience and delicious aroma of the restaurant. I tried the OC Galbi and my wife ordered the Pork Belly Belly Chop Steak. My rib was so tender and tasty, but I wasn't sure how to eat it with all the condiments and lettuce. I'm glad it also came with rice and kimchi. I enjoyed the smoky flavor, the moist and tender beef, and it was seasoned to perfection. I also liked my wife's pork belly steak. The waitress wasn't very attentive, though. She came by twice and I had to ask for more water. I was expecting more engagement, more attentiveness, or wanted to feel like she was making sure we were enjoying our dinner. For the price point, the food was amazing but the service wasn't up to par.

drove 45 min to this place on a thursday because their hours stated theyre open till 11. went in at 915 and they said they did last call and close at 10. Post your correct hours instead of wasting peoples time.

This is a late post I apologize for the delay, I came across this place on Tiktok it looked good so I decided to take my family out for dinner, we took an hour and a half drive to get there. when we arrived we was told we needed a reservation to get a table and that was a bummer I was able to speak with the lead host I believe it was and she was able to accommodate us with a table. We order many dishes some we enjoyed a lot and others we didn't for example the jjampong pasta was the least favorite the noodle was undercooked for our taste, I ordered 1 drink it was the blue punch it said it was made with soju but honestly I didn't taste any soju. Our top favorites was beef mushroom risotto and rose pasta my mother in law was surprised of the fried calamity great taste and good portion. Below I'm leaving a pic of our receipt

I ordered two pasta dishes and fried squid.The pasta felt bland and bland.It seemed like the seasoning wasn't well applied to the noodles.So I didn’t eat a lot of noodles…They say the ribs are famous, but the pasta was so-so. I don't think I would pay this price to eat it.

This place was amazing! Went with my gf for a dinner date and was not expecting the experience we had. The service was amazing. The food was delicious and the service robots were the cherry on top. We started off with the fried calamari and honey crunch shrimp for starters and had the Galbi Korean style with carbonara pasta. Everything came fast and the steak was perfect temperature. The tables were very private and the low lit ambiance was just right.

Dplace offers tasty pasta/risotto and the galbi was perfectly cooked meat. The kimchi was also solid. Def would not recommend Won Soju.. tastes like straight up vodka. Service was friendly & quick. The robot didn't bring our food but would bring to some other tables. However, it's worth noting that it's on the pricier side.

This was my first visit to this restaurant, there were 13 of us since we were celebrating my birthday, my daughter's birthday and my grandson's birthday. We have the same birthday except my grandson is a day before ours. I must be fair and say that the food was very good, my problem was not the food but the service or lack of service. We had difficulty trying to get help with refills or food vendors trying to order something else after our initial order, they seemed to be bothered by having to come back to our table. To top it off when someone in the family tried to let them know that we were celebrating 3 birthday they proceeded to to ask us for ID to confirm, my grandson is 12 so even the request is ridiculous. After a 700.00 dinner the last thing your gonna due is lie to get some free ice cream. If you decide to try them don't expect much for serving ce but you will like the food and the place is nice.

Due to celebrating my mom's birthday, we were escorted to a private room, which was very nice because we felt special. The room was clean and cups, utensils and dishes were all unique. We had a wonderful server who took great care of us but also there was a robot that delivered our food, which was another entertaining point of this restaurant. The foods we ordered were fantastic, especially OC Galbi was very tender and full of flavor. It was also nice that it came with Korean traditional sauces, which took it to another level. I'm glad to experience this restaurant and looking forward to bring future guests as I would want them to enjoy their food like I did.

Good food! Humans and robots are on site. It is an experience to enjoy. I brought some out of town family to this establishment. They liked the food. They liked the place. It was pretty packed at 9pm on a Saturday night. The host told us the kitchen closed at 10pm before he sat us down. We were fine with that. The place is a little dark inside, yet each table has a little lamp that changes colors. Food: we ordered steak, pasta, salad, and a few drinks. The four of us in our group ate all the steak and brought home some pasta and salad.

I had dinner here with my gfs and it was delicious! The rose pasta was great. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

I had the pasta ai funghi ($19) and shared garlic truffle fries ($16) for dinner. The pasta served here tasted absolutely delicious. Cooked al dente, which I love, the pasta with its creamy sauce made for a filling dish. The garlic truffle fries tasted good; I enjoyed how its texture felt like just the right degree of crunch. Note that the restaurant requires reservations. Regardless, service here feels standard. The ambience for dinner service looked and felt high-quality to me. As seen in the pictures, they did a great job with the interior lighting. The prices for steak here get steep, but I don't doubt my expectations of such a high-quality meal here. However, the pasta prices get definitely competitive. If you like pasta, I'd highly recommend giving dPlace a try.

My friend wanted to try this restaurant so we came and it did not disappoint. We ordered the OC galbi, rose pasta, fried calamari, and the pork belly chop steak. My favorite was the OC galbi. The galbi melted in my mouth and it was so juicy. There was so much flavor in the galbi and I was shocked by how good it was. They give you ssam and other things to wrap the galbi. This is a must order when you come to this restaurant. The fried calamari was great too and I enjoyed the sauce that came with it. The pork belly was good overall. I was looking forward to the rose pasta but I was a bit disappointed. The rose pasta was okay but not something I would order again. The dish felt lacking in many ways. There are so many seats here and plenty of space. It was pretty packed though when we went on Saturday for lunch. The restaurant has a nice ambiance. I loved the silverware and plates that they used. I will definitely be back to eat their OC galbi!!
