The food was amazing and too filling. The host was really funny and gave us the best recommendations on the food. The fiery cheesy chicken and the rabokki are a must try.

I went to Daebak Pocha yesterday and was really impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, and I could tell they put a lot of thought into the menu. It’s definitely improved a lot. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-presented. I’ll definitely be coming here more often!

Ordered a bunch of things. The only thing I decently liked was the tonkatsu. The hotpot and kimchi fried rice were a bit bland. The Korean fried chicken was quite disappointing. Not enough flavour and it wasn’t even crispy

Terrible experience. This restaurant steals from customers.

I left a 15% tip by writing the total amount myself, but they overcharged me by adding a 20% tip without my permission. This is dishonest and unacceptable.

I will never come back and will tell everyone I know to avoid this place. Absolutely deceptive behavior.

Dae Bak might be more of a 3.5/5 than a true 4/5, but I’ve had a good time here in two separate occasions. The kimchi and seafood pancakes are both killer. They are crispy and not too thick, served with a sweet chili sauce.

I love their soft tofu soup, and the hot pots aren’t bad either. Spicy beef noodle soup was actually quite bland.

The place is open til 2am, and they have lots of soju varieties. There are tables and big booths. People like to celebrate birthdays here. Some of the dishes are overpriced, but that’s every Korean restaurant in this neighborhood. Just stick to the cheaper items, drink lots of soju, and let the atmosphere take care of the rest.

Ordered food from this place for a nearly $100 and was extremely disappointed. I even called to complain.
Garlic fries—a slab of garlic paste put in the box on top of soggy fries
Beef tofu soup— basically a tofu soup and appeared to be a left over. There were only 4 slices of tiny beef
Beef bulgogi—ugh! Lacks banchan. I got steamed meat with steamed rice.
I would not recommend. Go elsewhere

The good part was that they have chicken feet (bone-in) which is kinda rare and it tasted good, and servers were kind.
**However, I feel like the ingredients are not high-quality or they're trying to save some from being stingy with main ingredients, (e.g. sausage in our spicy rice cake (tteobbokki) was low quality; too much rice in spam kimchi roll (kimbap)), which made their food bland. They made mistakes with our order and it was not reflected on the check. We got charged for cheese and a bowl of rice which we did not order nor receive, that could have costed us $5 more if we did not check the receipt before payment.

Chinese look down
This place opens till late and the staff were very friendly. We (Taiwanese) were the only table who were not Koreans. Food was okay, the pineapple soju was really nice!
Food portions are big but taste is average
I highly recommend ordering pineapple soju or watermelon soju. Share it with everyone.
There will also be some fairy sticks on top, which looks very cute when photographed.
- There is a fried pork belly dish which is very delicious.
M6: Pork Belly Garlic- Jalapeño Stir-Fry
It cost $140 for the two of us to eat
We were the only table at the table with non-Korean people.
The other six tables, large and small, are all Koreans.
The clerk was very friendly and even treated us to raw shrimp in soy sauce!
