Danbi Santa Teresa Korean Restaurant

Craving some Korean BBQ, so I hit up Danbi Korean Restaurant. We ordered bulgogi, crispy fried chicken wings, and Army stew with all the classic sides. Everything was super flavorful, and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely hit the spot!

We had a great time at Danbi. We’ve been to the Downtown SJ location and were happy to see that they opened one near our home. We ordered the seafood pancake, galbi, and spicy pork hot stone bowl. Every dish was cooked well and tasted great. The spicy sauce for the rice bowl was fantastic. We also loved all of the banchan.

We had recently traveled to Seoul and the food here stands up well against the restaurants we went to there. We highly recommend checking this out.

I’ve been anticipating to try this place for a long time and I have to say I’m very disappointed. I order the beef bulgogi for takeout and it was $32 for the smallest portion i’ve ever seen. If I paid a lot for a small portion, I would at least expect the food will match up with the price. The beef bulgogi was so dry and the rice that tasted like it’s been refrigerated and then barely reheated. Please lower your prices or make better quality food. I will not order food from here again.

Food is solid here. Friend and I got mandu tofu soup and beef tofu soup in medium spicy, which wasn’t spicy at all. They gave plenty of tofu and beef with a side of rice. I wish the broth had a spicier kick. We got kimchi pancake and it was really crispy. It was big enough for 3-4 people. The side dishes were good too, but I wish the kimchi was spicy (it was mild). And I wish they had a potato side dish. Our total came out to $80 with tip, so it was a bit pricey. It wasn’t busy on a Thursday evening.

The food is definitely good.

A bit pricy, and limited side dishes.

For that kind of price range, Kunjip in Mtn Vw would be a better option.

New location in South Bay. The other location is next to Karimi in downtown San Jose. Both food and service were great. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend.

The server was not friendly with us for some reason while being very friendly with other guests. Not once did they ask how we were doing while going to other tables and serving them with smiles and asking if they needed anything. We had to get their attention to order and then had to get their attention to pay. Not sure why we were treated like this. The food is good though but a bit more experience than other restaurants.

The food itself was really good but it made me uncomfortable that the server was coughing and sniffling the whole time. Then at check out after I had signed the receipt she told me I had to check one of the tipping options when I wasn't originally going to because it's not mandatory. Made me very uncomfortable and I probably won't be returning

The menu has the normal selections. The appetizer/side dishes were limited. Service was good.

I’ve eaten at this place 4 times & 3 were in this past week alone. It’s expensive, especially the short ribs, but TOTALLY worthwhile. Seriously, you your money’s worth of every penny you spend; I’ve had the beef bul go gi, the mandu (fried potstickers), & the short ribs. I LOVE the short ribs & the beef bul go gi; they’re Awesome.

Stumbled upon Danbi for dinner!

Two of us ordered:
-large terra $10.95
-seafood pancake $20.95
-bibimbap $16.95
-beef soft tofu $17.95

Unfortunately, not sure if AC equipped, definitely hot inside, had ceiling fans running.

The big highlight was the seafood pancake. One of the best I've ever had. Crispy and filled with lots of seafood!

I personally ordered the beef soft tofu, and it was great flavor and good size.

Easy parking in the plaza.

Staff here is extremely friendly...and their English is very good!

Definitely will be coming back!

Authentic Korean food owned by two wonderful women. Excellent service, delicious entrees, and generous portions — I highly recommend the seafood pancake, soft tofu stew, and yookgaejang.
