Daeho Kalbijjim & Beef Soup

Not the cheapest but it's consistently good.

Finally tried out their cold noodles and it’s so good. Everything else is perfect as well! Thanks you :)

GOAT of the HMart food court. I love their radish kimchi!

Of course we had to order the Kalbijjim (갈비찜), considering that it was our first time here. The wait wasn't too long, being no longer than 30 minutes for such a large/sharable portion (see images). It was enough food for us not to be able to finish in one sitting, again, a very generous portion. The beef, rice, and sides, everything was absolutely delicious.

I'm not too familiar with pricing when it comes to Korean cuisine, but this was priced at $82 (regular size), apparently there's a larger size...
The food court was very lively, which was enjoyable to eat in. A bit of a loud environment, but not too loud to a point where we were yelling to hear each other.

It feels like I’ve written reviews for every Daeho location! I’ve been to them all! I sometimes order takeout from the H-Mart location because it’s close to my house.

I don’t know how they manage it, but Daeho’s food tastes consistent across all their locations! There’s no specific branch that’s better or worse—they’re truly all the same! This really shows the importance of good management!

Today, our menu consisted of Spicy Short Rib Soup and Beef Tripe Soup!

The Kalbi Jim & Beef Soup was 😍. The glass noodles were very delicious and flavorful. The beef came with a special sauce to make it a little spicy! 🥵🤤 The order also came with side dishes that were free!

Worth it if you have the money to burn lol
We got lucky we got in before line starts. 10/10 would save up money to go back here lol foods were bomb! Not one dish disappoints.

Food has gone downhill unfortunately. We got the extra meat special from doordash and it was full of hard tendon :(

My sister wanted HMART food court and so she got Daeho’s Naengmyeon. It’s super refreshing on a sunny day, love the icy broth! I’m not big on chewy noodles but I can go crazy with their broth 🤤

Located within H Mart SF. I tried the dolsot rice with seafood and it was delicious. Friendly staff. Seems to be a bit expensive especially compared to other restaurants in the food court.

Fast and friendly attention. The soups are wonderful, the entire menu is very good ? keep in mind that they only serve dine-in, I wanted to order takeout but they don't provide that service. I recommend it

Two of my absolute favorite soups in the world. But they don’t comply with California Retail Food Code and provide water when requested. We don’t need plastic bottle water. Metal cups would be perfect.

Combination oxtail soup and dolsot bibimbap were incredible. The tendon pieces were perfectly cooked and the broth was milky and delicious. The bibimbap had great crispy bits and a Smokey smell. Honestly, eating this in the H-Mart food court just adds to the experience.

The woman at the front was very friendly and always wore a smile. Great food and great workers.

I love Daeho and it pains me to only give this 4 stars but it’s really due to the value and price. Compared to the original Daeho in Japan town, the value you pay for isn’t the same. In Japan town you get the atmosphere, alcohol, ambiance, and energy which isn’t present here.

The food is still delicious though, albeit in a cafeteria hall setting that’s more oriented towards families and other dining options at hmart.

Galbijim is a must. The yukgaejang (spicy beef stew soup) is incredibly addictive. The banchan and purple rice is on point. Just be prepared to enter flavor town because everything on the menu is STRONG. Think garlic and spice but multiply it by 5x. Your breathe will stink for the rest of the day but your taste buds will leave satisfied.

Excellent spot, but wish the prices were lower.

Kid-friendliness: Good for families. Didn’t spot high chairs or booster seats though
