Hear me out. I've been going to the same kbbq spot for the past 5-7 years and it always satisfies my craving. Tried this place because I caught up with old friends and this is their go-to spot. I felt like I was cheating on my place just being there. It's a circular restaurant and I think it was an old Spires restaurant. IYKYK Typical busy atmosphere for a Saturday night. We ordered brisket and pork belly. I was studying the menu to see the other meat selections and it just didn't grab me. The meats we had tho were pretty good. We also ordered tofu soup. I thought they forgot about them but apparently they make it fresh so it takes a minute to get to your table. The soup was delicious. It had a good balance of spice and temperature heat to it. I enjoyed it very much. The pickled cucumbers were a little thick for my liking but they were still good. Great ending with ice cream. My friends ordered green tea and I ordered cookies and cream. Really good. Overall, 8/10. Will try again to order other meats.

This place is alright. Quality of meat is so-so. But they were able to easily seat our larger party size of 10ppl. Service was also decent. Personally, I was not impressed. And with that, no plans of coming back. Stick to k-town for the good stuff!

Service is so much better than gen bbq. Spicy tofu pot and shrimp and brisket is delicious.

Came here with my roommates on a whim! We had a craving for non-marinated meats and this place was closest to us and the most affordable so we swung by! We came to dine around 6:30p, a party of 3, and were seated in less than 5 minutes. Our waiter, Mike, was absolutely wonderful. He was very attentive and kind, absolutely no notes for him! The restaurant itself was a bit loud with music for our taste, but i've come to expect that with most KBBQ places. The meats offered were very yummy, especially their cuts of brisket! To DIE for!! We tried out their cilantro pork belly, it was more of an herb-spiced pork belly rather than cilantro. It wasn't my cup of tea, but my roommates seemed to enjoy it a bit. It reminded me a lot of a salsa verde marinade. We ended our night with ice cream! 1 Cookies N' Cream and 2 Rainbow Sherbet. Best flavors they could have offered! I can definitely see myself coming back here, their food was delicious and their service was to a T.

Ask the Community - BBQ Night

Can I celebrate my babies 100th day here and how many guest can I have?

Do they accept AMEX?

Yes

Do they have the radish paper? It is in comparison to the rice paper.

Yes, they have it. You just have to ask for it.

Are they doing take out still? For grilling at home?

No more take out!

Do they ask for vaccine status?

No when I went a month or so ago

Will you be open Labor Day (9/6)? If yes, will you open at 12:30pm or 5pm?

$26 & $29 for premium.

What is the current menu price? what are their covid protocols?

$26 for premium and $23 for regular all you can eat. They had indoor as well as outdoor dining

Can we reserve ahead of time for 3 people?

They don't take reservations.

Hey guys, are they open for dine in?

Yes, they are open for dine in

Now that the CA governor has implemented the mandatory closures of dine-in restaurants, what are the daily hours of operation? Or are they still the same permanently?

There is no way this can be a dine-in restaurant. This is a dine-in place. Be real.

Is this restaurant safe for peanut allergies?

Probably not. Koreans use sesame oil in many of their marinades which is derived from sesame seeds... not sure if that falls in the nut allergy spectrum but you might want to contact the restaurant and ask.

How much is the lunch ayce on weekdays and weekends?

It's actually pricey a bit. It's $16.99 for weekday lunch. I didn't realized the price has gone up this much.

Can you eat alone?

I haven't seen anyone waiting alone but in sure you can. However you make expected to join other party or party double.

Does this place take reservations?

No it does not

Can this hold big parties? About 10 people - together or separate is okay

Yes, I've seen big parties of 10 or more

Is the restaurant baby friendly, meaning does the restroom has a changing table?

It can be. They have high chairs and boosters. Im not sure if they have a changing table or not. The only thing is that you will be constantly grilling so if you kids likes to pull things it could be a bit of a challenge. They have free ice… 

Do they have hot oil?

No they do not.

Can you accommodate a party of 15, not in separate sections?

Yes u can

I just have one big regret and question myself for that matter - what took me so long trying this place out!?! Oh my goodness! Everything tasted so delicious!! And needless to say, in this economy, that would be the best quality meal you can get for lunch!!! It wasn't painful to try things because the serving is big enough to share, they offer less usual sides and you get that special home cooked taste, you'll really feel the love Ok, ok, I know - for my liking yes. The galbi tang (excuse my wrong spelling) or rib soup is something I had to come back for. The broth is so flavorful and clean. Now, the most intriguing hangover soup, I had to try my first visit. I didn't know what to expect, but it's definitely soup packed with nutritious veggies. It was great too but meat is a must for me. Ordered cheesy pork katsu but it was way too cheesy for my daughter so ordered another in the original form. Sooo much food for a less expensive bill! Sorry, I can't cut this review short. Just so much great experience to share. I phone ordered galbi tang for pick up, arrive 8 minutes later and it was already there waiting for me. Enjoyed it home and it was still hot the perfect way soup is enjoyed by 2 people. I am so full and cravings satisfied. That's all :)

I've been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years. Ownership has changed a few times over the…read moredecades, but I've always stayed loyal and kept coming back. After today's absurd experience, though, I am officially DONE. I will never set foot in this place again. My group ordered a hot pot (Jeongol) combo set. Anyone who knows anything about Korean food knows how hot pot works: it sits on a live burner at your table, boiling the whole time. Naturally, as it boils, the broth evaporates and gets salty. Asking for a quick broth top-off isn't a favor--it's basic hot pot standard practice everywhere. When our broth boiled down and got too salty, we politely asked for a little extra broth. To our absolute disbelief, the server flatly said no, claiming that because we ordered a "combo set," broth refills were strictly forbidden. I couldn't wrap my head around this logic. I asked again to make sure I heard right: "Are you seriously telling me we can't get broth just because it's a combo set? I've been coming here for over 20 years, and I have NEVER heard of something so ridiculous." The server just shrugged it off and said the new owner made this rule, so there was "nothing they could do." Out of sheer frustration, I asked, "So if I had offered to pay extra for a splash of broth right from the start, would you have brought it?" The server literally gave me a half-hearted, "Maybe." If extra broth costs money, fine--tell your customers that upfront! Don't just aggressively shut down a standard request and ruin our entire meal over a ladle of soup stock. The sheer greed and lack of common sense here are mind-boggling. They clearly don't understand the very food they serve, they have zero respect for long-time regulars, and their customer service is an absolute joke. This wasn't just a minor service slip-up--they completely blew off a 20-year loyal customer. Save your hard-earned money. Go somewhere that actually understands Korean food and treats its customers with basic respect.

I love what the new ownership has done with this familiar Korean eatery. It has been transformed…read moreinto one of the area's premier destinations for authentic Korean comfort food, embracing the traditions of slow-cooked, homestyle recipes passed down through generations. Every dish reflects a dedication to Korean culinary heritage, arriving at the table bubbling, sizzling, and steaming with irresistible aromas. Step inside and you are welcomed by the comforting scent of toasted sesame, simmering garlic, and richly fermented broths that instantly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and unpretentious, capturing the feeling of gathering around a family dinner table. The menu celebrates soulful Korean classics with bold fermented flavors, slow-simmered stews, casseroles, salad wrap combinations, noodle dishes, and grilled fish, alongside shareable favorites like Korean chive pancakes, seafood pancakes, and abalone porridge. Every meal begins with one of the best complimentary spreads of banchan in town. The assortment is vibrant, tangy, spicy, and refreshingly diverse, featuring dishes that are increasingly difficult to find at many Korean restaurants. Our table included a variety of namul (seasoned vegetables), steamed eggplant, creamy Korean potato salad, japchae, and wonderfully fresh kimchi. Each side dish provided its own balance of flavor and texture while perfectly complementing both steamed rice and the main courses. **Dwaeji Bossam (Steamed Pork with Napa Cabbage) + Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) Combo, plus banchan - $45.99** The bossam showcases beautifully prepared pork belly that is incredibly moist, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth rich without any unwanted pork odor. Thin slices of pork are elegantly arranged like ribbons and served alongside an impressive assortment of accompaniments: spicy julienned radish kimchi (musaengchae), sliced raw garlic, fresh jalapeños, ssamjang (sweet and savory fermented soybean chili paste), saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), carrot and cucumber sticks, crisp green leaf lettuce, and blanched napa cabbage for wrapping. Every condiment serves a purpose. The crunchy radish kimchi cuts through the richness of the pork with bright acidity and spice. The saeujeot delivers an intensely savory burst of umami, while the ssamjang contributes a balanced combination of sweetness, heat, and fermented depth. Wrapped together inside fresh lettuce or tender napa cabbage, every bite becomes an explosion of contrasting textures and harmonious flavors. The accompanying doenjang jjigae is equally satisfying. The fermented soybean paste creates a deep, aged savoriness that is rich yet mellow, supported by anchovy stock, garlic, and just enough heat from sliced jalapeños. A slightly thickened broth envelopes silky tofu, tender zucchini, onions, and potatoes, creating one of Korean cuisine's most comforting stews. **Eun Daegu Jorim (Braised Black Cod) - $48.99** The braised black cod is another standout. Buttery, flaky pieces of fish are gently simmered in a glossy reduction that perfectly balances savory, sweet, spicy, and umami flavors. Thick chunks of radish slowly absorb the rich braising liquid until they become almost as satisfying as the fish itself. Just before serving, the dish is finished with freshly diced green onions that contribute brightness and a subtle bite to this deeply comforting classic. Service deserves special recognition. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. My family felt immediately at ease from the moment we walked through the door. The servers anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, quietly refilling water glasses and clearing finished plates with thoughtful timing. What impressed me most was the kindness they showed my mother, treating her with genuine warmth, sincere compliments, and the type of hospitality that made us feel less like customers and more like welcomed guests in someone's home. This restaurant beautifully showcases everything that makes Korean comfort food so beloved: slow-cooked recipes made entirely from scratch, deeply flavorful stews, generous portions, exceptional banchan, and heartfelt hospitality. Between the authentic homestyle cooking, robust flavors, and caring service, it has quickly become one of the finest places in the area to experience the warmth and comfort of traditional Korean cuisine.

Dae Bak feels like a place you sit down and let the meal take its time…read more The menu is simple and comforting. Homey Korean staples, not giant menu chaos. The inside is clean and cozy: warm wood paneling, booth seating and an old-school Korean restaurant feel. Nothing flashy. It just feels comfortable. Service was good, but the pacing was slow. Banchan came out with the entrees instead of before, so the table sat empty for a bit. The entrees came out around 20 minutes in. The Korean pancake took closer to 30. The banchan spread was simple but fresh. Sesame broccoli. Marinated potato chunks. Kimchi. Pickled cucumbers. Lightly dressed mayo macaroni. Nothing wild, but everything tasted clean and did its job. The beef soondubu was solid. The jjigae was balanced and rich, with soft tofu and enough beef to make the bowl feel complete. It came out bubbling hot, ready for the raw egg to hit the broth and disappear into comfort. I got medium heat, but it ate pretty mild, so go higher if you want actual spice. The stone pot bibimbap was good, but I wanted more from it for the price. More vegetables, bigger bowl, more of that loaded bibimbap feeling. The sweet gochujang sauce had good flavor, but barely any heat. Good bowl. A little restrained. The Korean pancake was the all-kill of the meal. No lip sync. Fried beautifully. Crisp edges. Good chew. Green onion, onion and zucchini in every bite. The batter had a hint of caramelized fried egg flavor, which made it taste richer. Dip it in the sauce for that salty, savory lift. Bite it with kimchi and the whole thing wakes up: crisp, rich, tangy, gone. It showed up last and still became the reason to come back. They also have a seafood version, which is dangerous information to learn after the pancake already won the meal. Parking was easy during lunch, with plenty of spaces in the strip mall lot. But with an AYCE restaurant in the same plaza, weekends or busier dinner hours might be a different story. Great food quality, cozy space and the kind of meal that asks you to slow down whether you planned to or not. The pacing was slow, but the food had enough care behind it to keep the meal worth it. Come hungry, but not in a hurry. And get the pancake.

You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I'd start. The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything. That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you're hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you're convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter. The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want. Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That's preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down. The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing. The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job. Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you're seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef's table at the restroom, but here we are. Somehow I don't particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn't polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines. Absolutely coming back. And next time, I'm getting that bibimbap again.

When it comes to the food itself, one guaranteed item to get ordered are the tater tots, they are always cooked to perfection and the spicy mayo along it just brings it together. Some of the other stuff that is fire chicken with cheese, spicy squid with pork belly, or just anything friend. The beer/soju selection is good, and the service is even better. Really appreciate how attentive they can be, especially the more seasoned servers that have been seeing my friends and I come here for years. This place is super fun and delicious if you're in the area, please try it out.

I come here very often I'm sure they know my friends and I haha. Great spot to drink, hangout, and…read moreget fast service. The food gives very home-cooked style it's very rich but delicious. The portions are great and food comes out pretty quickly. The only downsides are it can get pretty loud because of the music videos & sports games playing at the same time so it gets hard to chat with friends. The water they give you are the size of shot glasses too, so make sure to bring your Owala lol Overall really yummy food, upbeat vibes, and open late!
