Authentic Korean food with good services. Have been there several times and think of going there again soon.

Amazing new Korean restaurant in Danville! Portion sizes are large and delicious! We tried the seafood Pa Jeon pancake appetizer and the Japchae which was glass noodles. Both were excellent! The BBQ chicken was so tasty! Bimimbop in the hot bowl had great flavor. We also had the tofu seafood soup. read more

Wonderful new Korean restaurant in Danville! This is a great family owned business filing an empty niche in the tri valley area-no longer do you need to travel to Oakland or San Jose for good Korean food! The restaurant is small and can only fit so many patrons, so expect a wait on a Saturday night, but it's well worth it. I will be back - I want to try that beautiful mountain of Korean fried chicken! Yummmm read more

DAON - Delicious! Bulgogi dinner and tofu soup - Korean Near Me - Danville, California

I did not have a good experience dining here due to an unfriendly server. The beef dish with soup had a hard meat. It should be much softer. I told our server about it and had to ask for a knife. Taste of food is average and nothing spectacular. It is a small restaurant. Prices are more expensive compared to other korean restaurant. read more

I went here for my birthday in 2023, and their food is amazing! I definitely recommend their cheese sundubu

Checked out the place last night for an early Saturday night dinner. Glad we went in before 6 pm, it's a small place and the secret must be out. It filled quickly and by 6 pm people were waiting for tables. It seems to be a family run place and is small, but after ordering our food came out fairly quickly. I ordered the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bop, which comes in the stone bowl sizzling. You really should order the Dol Sot, the rice on the bottom gets so crunchy, and it's the best part! Now in other Korean restaurants I've had a raw egg on my bi bim bop, but here as many places do they add a fried egg. Which was fine, there was lots of veggies and I chose chicken as the protein... very delicious and filling! Unfortunately my husband didn't understand that he had to pick a protein for his kimche stew. So that's what he got Kimche stew, and they offered a raw egg to add. So he got disappointed when he couldn't find any meat. I told him to just tell them you didn't understand and they'd give him a side order... but he got huffy and refused. So I guess his was a fail, but not for taste, because he ordered wrong ...oh well. Mine was delish and I'd go back again because I love bi bim bop, so I'm super happy to have it so close to home! read more

DAON - Dol Sot BiBimBop with chicken - Korean Near Me - Danville, California

For Korean food where I don't have to drive to Oakland or Concord for, it is amazing. We were disappointed that when we ordered spicy, it wasn't spicy, then we hear the waiter giving the option for spiciness level to the table of Asians that arrived after we did. If we had the same option, then we would have ordered the spiciest option for happiness. The bulgogi was too sweet for what we like, but the quality of meat was good. The tedjigogi was delicious, but got cold quickly (probably because it was a cold night). The bibim naeng myun was my favorite dish overall because of the perfectly cooked noodles, tasty sauce and crisp fruits and vegetables. This is our new go-to Korean restaurant. read more

My family asked me to pick the restaurant of my choice to celebrate my graduation and I really wanted Korean food. I've had Korean street food from another restaurant, bur wanted to try other traditional Korean dishes. Daon had good reviews, so I decided to pick up from them. I called in for my order and I was told it would be ready in 20 minutes which I consider to be so quick! I arrive to the shopping center and was happy to see there is plenty of parking. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant when I walked in. You can tell that they are doing everything they can to keep guests safe during the pandemic. I also appreciated the the kindness of the staff and their efficiency to have my order ready to go when I was there. The food was absolutely amazing. I wish I had taken photos of how nicely packaged the food was and how good it looked individually, but I was so hungry and excited to try. The kimchi pancake was huge and was a great dish to share with 3 people. We still had over half left even after multiple servings. It was filled with flavor and was the perfect crispiness. I've never had a savory pancake and wow I regret not having one before! The beef bulgogi was tender and was still at a warm temperature. It was definitely fresh off the grill when I picked up. I thought it was so good and better than any other place I've tried beef bulgogi from. The cooks definitely put time into marinating the meat well and making sure it's cooked just right. The japchae was my favorite dish and wish I had ordered more. The food here is high quality and so worth the price. Picking up can be hard sometimes with food that is best served right away, but this food was still great after 15 minutes after picking up. The staff package the food well in vacuum sealed containers the ensure the food stays warm and good quality. Daon will be a place I will come to again! read more

We came here with a large group over the weekend and they were able to accommodate us without any hiccups whatsoever. What made this so impressive was that there was only one person managing the entire restaurant - from hosting, waiting, serving, bussing, and cashiering. The only thing he wasn't doing was cooking the food, and yet the service was exceptional. He was SO kind, even to the many children in our group and so genuinely nice. As for the food, every single dish we ordered was delicious. Most of us were Korean and are used to authentic and delicious Korean food (home cooked or SoCal) so it's hard to find Korean food done right and done well in the Bay. We ordered everything from seafood pancake, 떡만두국, kalbi, spicy pork bbq, kimchi jjigae, seafood dolsot, and Korean fried chicken and it was all delicious and tasted exactly as you would want/expect. A week prior to our visit, my Korean parents went and even my picky Korean mom liked this place! This is probably the highest praise. Thank you so much for a delicious meal! We will be back! 너무 맛있게 잘 먹었습니다~! read more

Had the hot stope bulgogi bibimbap for lunch. Amazing taste and presentation. The bibimbap was sizzling the whole time and was delicious. Good service with the banchan and hot tea. Reasonable price for quality. Will be back soon, hoping to try other dishes. Glad Danville has a Korean restaurant! read more

If could do more than 5 stars I would do it! I'm thrilled to have a new Korean restaurant in this neck of the woods! The food was excellent. We ordered dol sot bibimbap and pork belly. The pork belly was crispy but also tender. It was perfect. The service was friendly and the restaurant and utensils were very clean. Looking forward to going back! read more

Good Korean food close to my neighborhood. Our go-to when we can't decide what to eat or have no time to cook at home, it always does not disappoint. read more

Delicious! Came here twice in one week. Had lunch w/ friends & came back in a few days for take out for my husband & I. Bulgogi beef is yummy. I also love their kimchee soondobu w/ pork. Tasty & spicy! read more

This place was so yummy ! First time I went was today and I will definitely be back . The chicken wings were amazing !!!! So much flavor and great customer service. read more

Ordered through Caviar, based on a recommendation from a friend. I ordered Galbi JJim and the Korean Fried Chicken (less spicy) to share with my parents. The good: - Great to-go packaging! Sealed nicely all the food arrived nice and warm. - The free banchan actually tastes fresh (was a fan of the broccoli, sprouts, and marinated fried tofu). - Portion size of KFC was reasonable for $22. - The flavors of both dishes were authentic and good, with a caveat... The not-so-great: - Both dishes were really, really sweet. The sweetness was almost cloying, kind of corn syrup-esque. Bummer because I thought the other flavors were great... I just wish they would use less sweetener. Obviously sweetness level is a personal preference, so take this with a grain of salt. KFC was manageable but Galbi Jjim was too much. - There was not a lot of meat in our Galbi Jjim. Maybe we got an off batch? Our dish had five cubes of meat -- two of which were mostly bone/fat. So this dish split among three people meant that each person only got one sad piece of meat. That was pretty disappointing for $38. TLDR: Good flavors and packaging, just wish they'd use less sugar and more meat read more

Good is a bit pricey but the quality is very good. I would come back. We had the short ribs and chicken. If you go on Fri, or Sat during dinner time, good luck. You will have to wait and there's no reservation. read more

Amazing food and service. We were also able to easily customize with seafood and no rise options Thank you read more

Bibimbop for life! Amazing home style cooked korean food, everyone is always so nice. Very warm and welcome environment.

First time here and to my surprise the food was pretty good We had seafood pancake, kimchi jigae & soy fried chicken. Everything was perfect n delicious! Not too salty & not to sweet, just right. Panchan was also fresh & well seasoned. Atmosphere was clean and well spaced out. We also enjoyed the BTS music videos. Only annoying thing was the gym nextdoor &above making banging noises. Other than that all was good. read more

Been coming here pre Covid. But made it point to order as part of my rotation of local restaurants. Fresh, tasty, and well packed. And the staff and owner are good people. read more

I was hesitant to try this place because first of all a Korean restaurant in Danville? On top of that, there's not that many items on the menu (compared to other Korean restaurants) and the items were pricier. BUT I am glad I tried this place tonight. All the items we ordered were perfect. We ordered Spicy Beef Soup, Jap Chae, Galbi Jjim, and Kimchi stew. They were all perfectly cooked and seasoned. Very authentic. The portions were very generous and the packaging were sealed well so they don't leak. I would definitely be back and try other items. Minus 1 star for the banchans (side dishes) though. They were decent. Not as impressive as the items we ordered, but the banchans were free anyway so I'm not complaining. read more

Authentic and delicious. Perfect cold weather food. The menu is simple, but every dish is so flavorful and have a certain "home cooked" feel to it, which I like. The restaurant itself is small, yet homey. We ordered the seafood pancake as an appetizer. It was thick, huge, and well worth the price. The portion size is enough for 3-4 people. One of the better ones you can find in area. I also got a simple soft tofu soup in medium spicy. Included were a rich broth, assorted seafood, and a poached egg. I love that they give you options such as adding rice cakes or dumpings for a more heartier meal. My boyfriend had the galbi, which was very tasty and great for the price. The banchan served alongside were delicious. There is a pretty big parking lot, so parking shouldn't be a problem. This place does a lot of to go orders, too. Service was super friendly and I would definitely drop by again. read more

Tried this place for the first time for dinner last night. I ordered on UberEats and when it was ready for pick up I walked right in and it was waiting for me. I ordered soondobu veg tofu stew. It was packaged up so nicely with some veg sides and fish cake. I am pescatarian so it was fine to eat those things without knowing beforehand what it was, but I think it might help if they elaborate on their menu what everything is so there are no mistakes when eating. The tofu is so silky and delicious. The stew was great albeit salty, but I think that's the idea, I'm just not a huge salt person. I really enjoyed the green vegetable side. It also came with rice! The serving was big enough that I still have enough left for a second meal. It was about $19 total- so on the pricier side so I'm glad the serving was so large! read more

Died and went to heaven when i tried the fried chicken and ramen. Great service too. So glad we tried this place.

We came in about half an hour before closing and they still took us! We ordered the kimchi jigae, bulgogi, and short ribs and allll were so delicious! They had a good amount of sides as well and the bulgogi had a smokey taste which topped it off. I definitely was not expecting it to be that good but it was bomb! The soup had perfect soft tofu as well! Would definitely recommend and come back if ever in the area! read more

Tofu soup was delicious and ALL the appetizers are so tasty! Bulgogi was perfectly grilled and actually tastes grilled, and not sautéed and drowned in sauce. Japchea was nicely flavored as well. read more

Live near by and can guarantee that this spot is one of the best restaurants in the Danville/Alamo area. Get bulgogi and japchae. Also they pack their food nicely and carefully. Which is very eye catching. From their appetizer I love fish cakes. However the prices are bit higher with other Korean restaurants nearly. Hopefully they will keep that in mind. Just wish the owners good luck during the pandemic. read more

We've done takeout here twice and the quality of everything here is just fantastic. They do a great job packing things in sealed containers that are efficient and effective and keeping things warm and clean on the way home - much appreciated! Korean Fried Chicken portion was generous and surprisingly still crispy despite being takeout. Galbi meat quality was great - lots of beef without tons of fat. Ddok-bokki and Vegetarian Soondubu were suprise hits with the family - a very nice and flavorful spiciness that really brought me back to my time in Seoul. Meal came with some banchan too to accompany the rice - bean sprouts, kim chi, fish cake, and spinach. All were great. Sorry no pictures - believe me if you smelled the food you would have forgotten to take out your phone, too! read more

Honestly my favorite Korean spot of all times, you need to get the tofu kimichi soup and their seafood pancake they are sooooooo bomb, cook truly perfect Ly read more

Okay, now talk about tasty, tasty, tasty! Incredibly fresh with vivid flavors that brings colors to your mind when you slide down the lane of delicious beef, pork or chicken. We had a sampling all the way down the garden path, only leaving me up to oddly wanting more! We tried the bulgogi thinly sliced beef, barbecue pork and barbecue chicken. These delectable delights were accompanied with yummy bowls of kimchi, japche, Korean rice, flavorful lettuce with a sweet sauce and bits of Korean pancakes. We could've stayed all night but they too needed to go home. All I can say is take the time out to treat your palette with the delightful tastes of Daon in Danville! read more

Great dol sot and vegetarian dumplings at this small family run restaurant. Service was quick and friendly.

Food exceeded our expectations - The galbi and bulgogi were so well flavored, the best we've had in the trivalley. Seafood paejun was extra crunchy. But what made dinner a delight despite the wait for a huge group ahead of us was the service. The young man serving us had the best attitude. With only two wait staff with a full house, he was attentive, positive and friendly and checked in on us often to make sure we had enough banchan and drinks. This was our first visit and will definitely be an addition to our family favorites! read more

Best Korean this side of the Caldecott. I am so glad I found this place. They use high quality ingredients and everything is delicious.

All food was so good! Well worth the wait for our food. It came out piping hot. Everything was flavorful and service was great. Great find in Danville! read more

I was worried I wouldn't find a good Korean spot in Danville, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and service here! The bonchon pairs well with their dishes.
