    Spam Kimbob and Kimchi Ramyun
    Michelle H.

    Dan Moo Ji is a casual spot for Korean eats. I think this place mostly serves street food or comfort food (so no Korean BBQ or spicy tofu soup). The inside is pretty simple and there is a server who takes your order and brings the food to you. My friend and I split the Donkatsu Omelette Rice, Spam Kimbob, and Kimchi Ramyun. The Donkatsu Omelette Rice was good as the donkatsu was crispy and not oily. However, the fried rice had corn in it which I am not a fan of and I thought the sauce on the egg did not appease my tastebuds. I got the Kimchi Ramyun but I do not know why as I like kimchi as a side, not as a flavor. They add a lot inside the dish, such as bean sprouts and kimchi, but it was too sour for me (although it was my fault for ordering it). I really liked their Spam Kimbob! It was tasty and filling. They also offer a complimentary soup, which I think is a type of fishcake soup? That was really savory. The portion sizes are also huge, which is nice as the pricing is really reasonable. I would come back to try the other items on their menu as there is a lot to choose from.

    I love coming here during my 1-hour lunch breaks! Super casual place with some k-pop music videos playing on the tv, plenty of seating, cheap prices for a great quantity of food. Located in the Nukoa plaza, there is enough parking in the lot, but sometimes gets packed. Service is good, they are usually pretty quick to take the order. But checking out, you will have an easier time just going up to the front. This place is known for their affordable assortment of kimbap and the dukbokki (spicy rice cakes). Complimentary soup and radish too.

    Tonkatsu plate (tray)... Why this cafeteria presentation??
    Rose E.

    So...my dining experience here has been up and down over the years, but it's been awhile, so I thought I'd try them again. I saw pics of their Donkotsu plate on Yelp, and felt inspired to go... Well, I ordered the Tonkotsu plate...but as it goes, it looked NOTHING like what others got...all on a big black platter. Instead my version came in a hodge-podge fashion...cafeteria plate format. So yeah, the presentation was terrible. WHY?!? This is not how this Tonkatsu platter looks for all others. This has been a common experience for me here at this restaurant. Everything I get looks nothing like what's pictured (and not in a good way!). Luckily, it tasted good enough. I will say, however, that the service was good. In fact, they even swapped out the spicy sauce for the normal one when I expressed that it was too spicy. I just have no faith in what I'll end up getting here...as from my prior experiences, everything I get is so different than what I previewed on Yelp pictures beforehand.

    Chicken omelette over rice

    This is first time at Dan Moo Ji. My first impression is that it seems like a fast food place. But I was mistaken. You place your order at the counter, but they deliver the hot plate order. In our case, there were about 15 of us. The gentleman, came around and took our order. He brought pitcher of waters and glasses as well as soup brought. Our orders arrived fairly fast and still hot. My chicken omelette over rice is awesome, well prepared taste fantastic! My order came with mash potatoes, kimchi and salad. Others in my party also ordered Udon soup and such. The place is clean, well organized with plenty of tables. The bathrooms are cleaned which gave me the impression that it is still a new place. Again I misjudged this place. If you haven't tried Dan Moo Ji, I highly recommend this place. Specifically since the price is fairly comparable with other restaurants in the area

    Complimentary broth & daikon
    Marni M.

    My friend picked this place for a quick dinner on a Saturday. Immediately walking in, I was hit by the delicious smell of sesame oil, which is always a great sign! We got seated right away by the kind host who was also our waiter. The meal started with their complimentary flavorful simple broth and two sides of daikon. This was my first time having a burdock kimbob which pleasantly tasted exactly how I imagined it was going to. The bbokki was a perfect portion for 1 and having the hot sauce on the side was the play since it is incredibly concentrated so be careful! The sauce was thick, sweet, and spicy, perfect for dipping. To top it off, the dakgangjeong was crispy and matched the palate of all the other dishes. Overall, I had a great experience. The food is phenomenally prepared and seasoned plus the prices are sooo cheap! I will absolutely love to come back again and recommend others to check them out too.

    Donkatsu Plate
    Kelly N.

    Food here is pretty hit or miss for me, though it comes down to preferences. My friends and I always get their odeng (fishcake skewer) whenever we come because they also give the soup with it. We also always get their kimbap. Love both, though kimbap isn't hard to make or get in Duluth. That being said, if you order spicy tuna kimbap here, the tuna isn't spicy, they just use normal tuna and spread a spicy sauce on the rice before rolling it up. I found that very disappointing, especially when I couldn't taste the spice. As for the donkatsu plate, the pork cutlet was nicely fried. It wasn't overly oily/greasy and was a good size. My issue: I know donkatsu sauce uses ketchup, but their proportions for the sauce weren't for me. The smell of ketchup was overpowering and off-putting, considering I didn't order the dish for myself; my friend got it and shared. The pork by itself tasted good, and with the sauce it tasted fine as long as I don't use too much. Personal preference, if you prefer a more ketchup-y donkatsu sauce, this may be right up your alley. I ordered the bulgogi cupbop. It wasn't bad, though the rice can do with a lot more flavor. There's salad, sweet mashed potato, choice of protein, and fried egg with sauce drizzled on top over fried rice. There was not enough sauce to add flavor, and the rice needs it badly. It was very bland and had bits of corn and onions in it, which did nothing for the fried rice in terms of flavor. It seemed to use quite a bit of mayo. There's also one dish that's on sale, and when we went, it was the donkatsu plate. No one tells you outright that it's at a lower price, or at least they didn't tell us. There was a sign at the entrance near the counter, which is why my friend ordered it. They give a stamp card for customers after the meal to come by more often. You get fried dumplings after your 5th visit and a 10% discount after your 10th visit.

    Danmooji is great and a wonderful place to eat when you feel like Korean finger foods. My wife came here for lunch while getting our cars worked on at a nearby mechanic and enjoyed our meal very much. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was very comfortable and felt hip. We haven't been here since 2014 so it was nice to see them doing well after so many years and it looks like they remodeled the place so the location felt clean and well kept. 4 solid stars and 2 thumbs up. Thank you for a great meal!

    Oh how the interior has changed over the years, but the food quality remains the same! Large parking spots and larger portions of Korean street food. Expect quick service to enjoy the food

    Bulgogi Cup Bob
    Kristy T.

    This is the first restaurant I've reviewed three times, and for good reason. Their menu keeps evolving in the best way. They've recently added Korean tacos, buldak ramyun, bibimbap, and kimbap with new fillings. Some of the side dishes have changed too -- the potato salad no longer has raisins, and the sauce is sweeter. The bulgogi cupbop was a perfect balance of savory and sweet. It came with rice, thinly-sliced meat marinated in sweet soy sauce, fried egg, potato salad, and veggies. The sauce was mildly sour. The bibim dumplings came with spicy and sour sauce, shredded cabbages and carrots, and the pork filling inside was absolutely delicious. The spicy grilled chicken kimbap had jalapeños inside that added a great kick. It was my first time trying soju, and I loved it -- sweet at first with that classic burning aftertaste. As always, the meal came with hot soup and the usual yellow and white pickled radishes. Total cost: $40. Definitely worth it.

    Fast casual spot. Dine-in or order and carry out. Feels like a K-Pop joint. K-Pop videos playing by the counter. QR code to order or a menu is available as well. We ordered the two person extra spicy tteokbokki, kimchi Kimbap, spicy tuna Kimbap, spicy grilled chicken Kimbap (not breaded chicken) and the deep fried combination. Added one more spicy tuna Kimbap. $50.34 The broth drink is actually good, tastes good with the food for sure, it's good since they don't have hot barley or corn tea at all. The extra spicy tteokbokki is good, nice heat. The rice cake is still decently chewy. The two pickled cubed radishes are a nice banchan and accompaniment to the food consumed. The fried potato and the squid are both good. The kimmari is okay, maybe too big for what it is, thus too many potato noodles. The squid is a bit heavy on the tempura batter. The rolls are packed fully. The spicy chicken roll has two to three small pieces of chicken in it, quite nice. It's a good roll. The kimchi roll is decent, it has the perilla leaf, which wasn't expected. Not too bad. The spicy tuna was the better of the 3 rolls, slightly sweet with the yellow pickled radish in it. I do think all of their spicy rolls would be much better with fresh Jalapeño over the pickled jalapeño.

    My favorite place to eat with friends back in high school. The staff was very nice. My personal favorite dish is fish cake udon and the fried wings which is super crispy and has some huge wedge potatoes in it. Very authentic Korean street food!

    Love Dan moo ji for a quick bite. We got the toppoki and added ramen and cheese. We were only looking for a quick bite and this really hit the spot. Even though the portion was for one, we shared and was still filling. The sauce was sweet and spicy. The service here was really friendly as well. The only thing I didn't like was the cheese cause it wasn't super melted. They also serve a yummy and hot broth. Would definitely be back to try their other items.

    See all

For the Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fries, the bulgogi is good, the fries are not. These fries are from the frozen section at Costco, make no mistake. They are bland, 2/5 star fries. Even if the bulgogi was on top of better fries, the bulgogi is dry and the cheese on it isn't melty or saucy, so the fries and the topping don't mix together well. Just a pile of dry food.

Shortly after we were seated, (literally 1-2 minutes) about 3 employees came to our table letting us know we needed to order within the next few minutes. It was like 10:05. I tried asking one of the employee what the meat options were and was just interrupted by him being persistent in us ordering and did not really answer our questions, mainly because I noticed some of the meat options were pork and I do not consume pork for personal reasons.
