Daebal is my go-to pocha spot! The food is amazing. The music can be a little loud, but the vibes are fun and energetic. We've had great service every time we've gone and always enjoy trying different items on the menu. I highly recommend the vegetable pancake and the tofu with kimchi--those are my absolute favorites! My girlfriends and I also shared the 막소수 while enjoying our meal. I definitely recommend coming during early dinner because it fills up quickly, especially on weekends! read more

What a cool spot! A hole in the wall gem hidden at the end of a strip mall. We only came here bc it was the only place open late night serving Korean. What a surprise to find a lively bar with a jovial crowd. We came to eat, so I was a little unsure about getting food from this bar, but it was surprisingly good. Our server was super attentive too. Great find. read more

We used to go to Sik Gaek before management changed, and the place changed A LOT. An iykyk type of place ~ the inside was cool, giving the classic metal round tables, stools, and red tarp. For a Saturday night, around 7:30pm the place is starting to get busy. When you hit 9:00pm, it gets BUSY busy and quite loud - but honestly, it's still a vibe, we like the energy! For their food, the pork belly and chicken gizzard, and the kimchi, chives, and garlic that came with them were my favorite! Cooked very well, very tasty! We also got the odeng soup, which was also good, but I felt was lacking, compared to what was served previously. read more

This took the place of the oldie but goodie shik gaek. It was frankly surprising how good everything was here, considering it is known primarily as a bar and looks like it has quite the small kitchen. All the soups we tried were delicious, pancake crispy and good. The pork jowl and shishito peppers were a table favorite. They only item we did not love was the tonkatsu - meat was a bit dry and the sauce came on it which is atypical. Definitely adding this to rotation and can't wait to be back to try other dishes. Staff was attentive. read more

This started out as the new kid on the block and now it's probably THE place to hang out in Centreville for the Korean bar scene. All the food items are great. But the only downside is that if you're going there after dinner, the dining options are limited because of the sheer size of the entrees. All the jjigaes and the tangs are pretty huge -- as in it'd feed at least 3 ppl and 4 ppl who are grazing with other foods. So I'd say that if you're planning on heading here, try to go for dinner where you can stay for dinner and drinks. Otherwise, you'll just have a lot of leftovers! The ambiance is excellent and nails the k-pocha vibe. read more

This place reminds me of my college years and it was enjoyable. Interior is cute and old, but clean. The owner is super kind, humorous, and absolutely helpful when selecting a menu. Food is amazingly good. I couldn't believe it at first, but every time I visit here and try new things, I am amazed by the taste and it's better than others. If you want to experience 90s Korean pop bars, then this is your stop. I plan on getting some soju bomb tonight. read more

Ever since moving out of nova, I've been craving true Korean food and came here for some late night anjus when I visited! Their dakbal is so so good! I haven't had good dakbal since hanshin pocha closed in Annandale but Daebal house's dakbal had just the right amount of spiciness and didn't have any of the bad chicken smell. It's not the soup kind (which I prefer) but it's still super yummy! The rice balls were really hard to mold together but nonetheless tasty! Their interior is like a Korean pocha you would see in the streets of Korea which was fun and the server came by our table several times to check up on us as well! Would come back again to try some of their other dishes! read more

I went for snacks and drinks. The drinks prices are normal for a pocha, like $16 for soju. The food was all pretty pricey. The budajigae was $40. It's also loud inside, so just be aware read more

I enjoyed the food and the ambiance. Gave that old Korean hof vibe with their steel tables and gold colored aluminum pots. Definitely a VERY Korean spot. Nostalgia is the best way to express my feelings about my two visits there. The food is a bit on the salty side but that's expected of bunshik food. Drinks are plenty - soju is my go to and they have a long list of varieties in that field. read more

This is a place I almost want to gatekeep - it's THAT good! My friends and I absolutely love Daebal House. From the moment you step inside, it feels like you've been transported back to a "pocha" in Korea. At first, the tinted windows and doors make it hard to tell if the place is even open, but once you step inside, everything from the posters to the music and even the TV shows playing captures the authentic '90s pocha vibe perfectly. The food is incredible, too. I highly recommend trying the Zicoba chicken, it tastes exactly like Korea's famous Gcova chicken (if you know, you know!). The service is also top-notch. The staff is attentive and friendly, and they even offered a free bottle of soju with their own custom design, which is such a cute touch. Whether you're in the mood for a meal or just a night of drinking, this is a spot you should definitely check out! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. It has such an amazing Korean pocha vibe that makes the whole experience feel fun, lively, and authentic. The food is always delicious, the service is always amazing, and it's one of those places I keep wanting to come back to read more

We used to frequent this spot before it became Daebal and didn't anticipate having to wait for a table on a Thursday night at 8pm but so glad we waited. This place was PACKED and for good reason. The place feels like it's straight off the pocha streets of Seoul from the '90s and we appreciated the throwback K-pop (think 쿨, Turbo, et cetera). The tables are not big so with the 3 of us, it felt perfect with all our various adult beverages, 탕, and dried filefish/peanut plate. This spot will probably be in heavy rotation for a lot of folks! The space is dimly lit but fits great with the vibe of this new spot. The ambiance is great for a night of letting loose with good food, lots of soju/beer, and good music. Met the owner and she said this location is the 3rd franchise. Love it. They just opened last week but looks like the word is already out :) read more

I've always wanted to try this place and finally got to go! First, the vibes are immaculate. The inside interior is made to replicate a Korean 포차 with the steel round tables and low chairs. They also play old Korean ballads which is just my vibe. Secondly, the servers here were so kind. The lady who was helping us was super patient and nice and made small talk which made us feel welcomed. And finally, the food! Where do I even start. The chicken feet with the 주먹밥 was so good. I've been craving chicken feet for so long and this place hits the spot. I will say the sauce is pretty spicy so if you can't handle spice, I would maybe ask if they can make it less spicy. But the spice wasn't painful spicy but more a feel good spice. It was the perfect 안주 for the soju. The waitress also told us they make them fresh at the start of each day so you know the quality is good. The 짬뽕탕 was also delicious! Don't be alarmed by the super red soup. It wasn't as spicy as it looked but still has a kick to it. The 수재비 in it was also super chewy and the perfect texture. Not pictured, we also had the 눈꽃치즈 omelette and the 참치 주먹밥 both of which were also delicious. 10/10 I will be coming again and highly recommend. The food is sooooo good and I want to try the other things on the menu! read more

Probably one of the best Korean pochas in the dmv area. The vibe and concept are immaculate-- very 90s and nostalgic. Service is great. And most importantly, the food is fantastic. I've been here several times and ordered different dishes, and everything was super yummy! read more

A relatively new Korean pocha-like restaurant for drinks and late-night food. The vibes include dim lighting and loud old-school Korean music. They give you a bag of Cheetos when you order beer. We ordered the pork backbone soup ($29.99). We thought the portion was good but we just didn't love it. The soup was very red, but it was not very spicy. We thought the tables were pretty close together. The patrons next to us went outside to smoke a few times and we were continually whiffing the smell of cigarette smoke. read more

This is probably the closest thing to a 포차 you'll get in NOVA. They took down all the walls to make the interior one big floor with a bunch tables. I'm not sure if they take reservations but we only waited around an hour for a group of 8 on a Friday night. Alcohol always tastes good but the food exceeded my expectations. It was a little hard to wave down the servers once in a while but that's to be expected in a place this loud and rowdy. This is definitely the new spot to go to since the centreville khan is closing down. Excited to come back! read more

Gamjatang is very delicious and large portion! However, some people might find it a bit too salty. Otherwise, it's very good! read more
