Yelp Review 2026 #265: Doya is located at an old karaoke spot across from Mama Chai. There's not a lot of places in Chinatown that has hot food that is open before 11am. I want meat and rice but it was only 10am. Doya opens at 6am! There was only one ajumma in the building. She was getting orders, preparing food, delivering food, taking payments, sealing leftover containers, and cleaning. She did it all with a smile. She was so sweet. They'll give you an ice-cold stainless steel pitcher of barley tea. You can find utensils and napkins in the drawer on the side of the table. Banchan: Fish cake, kimchi, bean sprouts, cucumber, radish, and what looked like onions. I like their kimchi - it's very flavorful and the cabbage still has a nice crunch to it. I don't like soggy kimchi. The bean sprouts has sesame oil so, it was delicious. The cucumber is slightly sweet pickled. I don't eat radish so I can't speak on that. The fish cake was nice. 4.5/5 Kalbi: Served on a sizzling plate. You get several pieces of well-marinated Kalbi. It's quite pricey but it's delicious. I like to order Kalbi with bibimbap...because I need more protein. 5/5 Dolsot Bibimbap: Sizzling stone pot with rice, veggies, ground beef, and fried egg. Pour as much gochujang as you want for some color and spice. I like to let the rice at the bottom to burn a bit so it's nice and crunchy before mixing everything. They have a lot of old school and traditional Korean dishes. Lots of soups. But they also have dumplings, and fried chicken for less adventurous eaters. This is a solid choice for Korean food. The restaurant isn't big but it's clean and they have cute decors and trinkets. read more

So sad to see my old go-to karaoke spot go, but Doya Gukbap is such a good replacement. The space is super simple with cool traditional touches, and the menu prices don't make you want to cry (which is saying a lot for Vegas right now). The food hit-the-spot: LA Galbi: Perfect sweet/savory marinade and super tender. Korean Fried Chicken: Crispy and cooked just right. I got them plain, but you can get them tossed in sauce too. Mandu: Delicious and savory definitely get an order for the table. It's a nice snack as you're waiting for the entrees. Made-to-Order Rice: They bring out your rice in its own little personal pressure cooker so it's piping hot and freshly made. Staff was friendly, and I actually found a parking spot right away without doing three laps around the lot (huge win for Spring Mountain). Will definitely be back! read more

Goya Gukbap has such a cozy mom-and-pop feel. I felt like I was eating at grandma's house. I'm not Korean, but when you walk in and see plenty of Korean customers eating here, that's usually a pretty good sign. The banchan was delicious, and the individual rice pots immediately reminded me of my time in Korea. The galbi was seasoned just right, and the tofu soup was comforting and flavorful. And of course, the Kooksoondang Makgeolli sparkling rice wine had to be served in a brass bowl. Nothing overly fancy. Just warm, comforting Korean food that feels homemade. A really nice find. read more

So good! Some of the highlights: - Eundaegu jorim (cod braised in a mildly spicy sauce with radish, tofu, onions): this is actually so hard to find in Vegas, so we had to get it. It was SO GOOD. A very good portion of cod, not too spicy, not too salty. - mul naengmyun: different than what I'm used to, but in a good way! The broth was slightly sweet. The noodles were a lot chewier than buckwheat noodles, which I really loved. - the rice: they have white rice and purple rice, both of which are served in pressure cookers. They scoop it from the pressure cooker into a bowl at your table and let the burnt rice sit with water at your table while you eat so you can enjoy nurungji at the end. Service was super quick as well! They gave us a kimchi pancake on the house. The restaurant is decorated well with a lot of Korean cultural things. I'm excited this restaurant is here and I hope it's here to stay! read more

Doya Gukbap - Dried pollock soy bean sprout soup (bugeoguk) and braised cod (eundaegu jorim) - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Doya Gukbap is a fantastic Korean restaurant located in Chinatown. You'll find them on Spring Mountain and Arville near Shanghai Plaza, across Mama Chai's. There's plenty of parking. Grand opening was on July 1, 2026. Inside is cozy and has an inviting atmosphere with good seating and awesome K-pop music playing on TV. I was listening to Blackpink "Pink Venom," a fierce and powerful song. Table is set up with condiments including salt, vinegar, red pepper, and black pepper. There's a built-in drawer on the side where you can access utensils and napkins. A clean table space is amazing, and keeping these items organized in a drawer looks neat and tidy, it's great! Complimentary Korean tea is served and it's good! I opted for iced cold water. Menu offers a nice selection of appetizers, noodles, meals, special, combos, and drinks. They also have breakfast special starting at $9.99 from 6am to 10am. I ordered Fried Dumplings (8 pieces, $10.99), it was delivered beautifully golden crispy, inside has ground meat, veggies, and noodles, served with a light sweet dipping sauce, absolutely delicious! Stone Pot Bibimbap ($17.99) is very good and filling! Hot and freshly cooked with crispy rice at the bottom, there's various veggies such as carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and spinach, topped with fried egg, seaweed, and served with chili pepper paste. Cindy is nice and showed me the proper way to eat hot stone bibimbap. Traditionally, you add red chili paste (gochujang) and mix the fried egg, vegetables, and rice thoroughly with a spoon, letting the rice crisp against the piping hot stone pot, and then eating it straight from the bowl. The meal comes with a good serving of banchan (Korean side dish), which includes sweet fish cake, crunchy radish kimchi, fresh kimchi, sweet pickled cucumber with crisp onions, steamed cabbage, and chili pepper sauce. Service from Cindy is very kind, welcoming, courteous, attentive, and friendly! Also met Jin the owner, she came by my table to say hello, she's so nice! Overall, the food at Doya Gukbap is excellent, has wonderful flavor, and is amazingly delicious! I love their dining atmosphere, very relaxing with beautiful decor, plus service is efficient and outstanding! read more

Doya Gukbap - Located in Chinatown on Spring Mountain and Arville near Shanghai Plaza, across Mama Chai's - Korean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This new Korean restaurant replaced the previous Korean-Chinese restaurant, and I really like what they've done with the space. The interior has been nicely renovated and now has a much more authentic Korean vibe. Service was friendly and attentive as well. The fried chicken was especially good--crispy, flavorful, and definitely something I'd order again. Overall, the food tastes authentic, so this is a nice place to try if you're looking for traditional Korean flavors rather than Americanized Korean food. I just wish they served the classic Korean pickled radish with the fried chicken--it really feels like a must-have! The side dishes could also be a little better and more varied. Still, a good new addition to the area with tasty food, good service, and a much nicer atmosphere. read more

Place was clean, friendly service. Appreciate that they offer breakfast specials, I would say the Spicy Beef Soup wasn't bad, but I've had better, way better. The fried dumplings were good but the Bandhan was my only favorite thing...sadly. Maybe I'll try a different Soup next time. I like the breakfast specials so you can try out their different soups for $10. Also like the 8am morning time. read more

Great Banchan (side dishes)! Friendly service! I liked their interior design. So cute. Their foods are tasty as well. Don't forget to add salt and salted shrimp to your noodle soup. :) There are so many competitive restaurants in Spring valley, this is definitely one of them. read more

Ordered Stone Pot Bibimbap. It was average. Didn't have a lot of flavor. Had to add a lot of siracha & I don't like spicy but needed to give it some flavor. Some of the rice was crunchy but barley any. I've had better elsewhere. Attitude of the server & cashier was not acceptable. Tried asking question & got hushed. After I ordered my dining mate was going to order & server tries to run away. We had to call her back. Went to cashier to pay my bill & let cashier know what I had & she was snotty towards me & acting pissy how the server wrote down the orders. Well that's not my issue - take it up with your staff. Will not be back. Dining make also commented it was not a nice experience & he would not be back. read more

We came in at 11:15pm and we were the only ones there. We were slightly hesitant to eat here but we don't regret it. Service was awesome and food was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Even at midnight, ahjima served with a smile and we rewarded her well. read more

Doya Jjamppong recently changed its name to Doya Gukbap, and I decided to check it out after hearing that they now serve milmyeon (밀면), which is pretty hard to find in the U.S. The first thing that stood out was the unique interior, which incorporates a lot of traditional Korean colors and design elements. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. We ordered the Pork Galbi & Noodles Set (돼지갈비+밀면, $29.99), a small Mixed Sundae Plate (순대접시(섞어), $17.99), and the Assorted Pork & Offal Rice Soup (섞어국밥, $18.99). Everything was delicious, but the pork galbi was especially impressive. It was honestly the best pork galbi I've had since moving to the U.S. Each serving of rice comes in an individual pressure-cooked pot, and they provide hot water so you can make nurungji (누룽지) afterward. A small kimchi pancake is also served along with the side dishes. The food was excellent, and the service was just as great. I'll definitely be coming back often! read more

This place is seriously underrated! I'm so glad I tried it. The food was amazing and super authentic. The pork galbi and marinated short rib were both flavorful, juicy, and tender. The pork mandu was genuinely the best mandu I've ever had. The wrapper was super crunchy but the filling was super juicy and flavorful. The banchan was some of the best banchan I've ever had and was even served with a full-size kimchi pancake which I've never seen before. The cold-soaked noodles were very refreshing and delicious. The interior of this restaurant was very interesting as well! The walls had traditional Korean clothing and artwork hung up. There was a display case in the center of the restaurant showcasing more Korean culture. They were playing KPOP on the TVs as well. The two older Korean women working at this establishment were honestly the highlight of this experience. My boyfriend and I are both not Korean so the women took extra time and care to educate us on every dish and to ensure that we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. They checked on us consistently and asked us if we had any questions or concerns quite often. Overall, this place is severely underrated and needs to gain traction soon! read more

This is a wonderfully authentic traditional Korean restaurant. They serve a great variety of complimentary side dishes. The kimchi pancake is especially delicious. Cold noodle is incredibly refreshing to have on hot days. The spicy beef soup is very authentic, and the bulgogi is excellent as well. The aunties working here are extremely warm and friendly. read more

Third Visit - Another Good Korean Meal at Doya We went back to Doya this weekend for our third visit, and this time we ordered the Korean-style fried chicken and soondae rice soup. As I expected from my previous experiences with their soups, the soondae rice soup was very good. It was served nice and hot, along with the hot stone rice, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The soup continues to be one of the things I really like about Doya. The Korean-style fried chicken, however, was a little different from what I expected. The chicken was served very hot, crispy on the outside, and soft and juicy inside. I also thought it was interesting that the plate came with only wings and drumsticks. I was expecting a more typical combination of chicken pieces, such as legs, thighs, and other parts, like you often get at other Korean fried chicken restaurants. The chicken also came with French fries, which were quite crispy and a little darker in color. The fries were actually a bit salty, while the chicken itself was almost the opposite--it was a little too bland for my taste. I usually don't like food that is overly salty, but I think the chicken could have used a little more salt and perhaps some pepper or additional seasoning. The chicken itself was cooked very well; it just needed a little more flavor. That said, I think it's important to remember that Doya is an authentic Korean restaurant, not a restaurant specializing in fried chicken. So I wouldn't judge the restaurant based on the fried chicken alone. Overall, I still really like Doya and enjoy coming back to try different dishes. The soondae rice soup, in particular, continues to be a favorite of mine. Looking forward to trying something else on our next visit! Service and Ambiance is good as I mentioned in first review. read more

Great place! Accidentally came here thinking it was a different restaurant. Cute interior. Felt cozy. TVs playing kpop music, but decorated with more traditional Korean motif. Mandu dumpling was really good, probably one of the best I had. Wrapper not too thick and filling was seasoned well. Juicy. Cold noodles neongmian (sp?) was good too. Banchan included a kimchi pancake. Very good. Don't see this very often, nice! They just opened. Come out and give them a try. They also a full bar. After lunch went to mama chai next door for sweets. Service friendly. read more

One of the bestest Korean food I ever tried. We had Kalbitang, Spicy cold Milmyen(noodle) and dumplings. Very tasty side dishes and individual pressure cooked rice. I was very happy I found this spot! Very friendly staff. read more

Doya Jjamppong has been transformed into Toya soup rice. Wide parking lot, large dining table. The boss and his wife are very kind. Especially the wife who serves is kind. There are many kinds of side dishes, and the salted squid is surprising. Pork soup rice consists of pork belly and hangjeong meat, and it is soft, so both children and the elderly can eat it well. Especially from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., pork soup, yukgaejang is sold for 9 dollars and 99 dollars, and soju is also sold for 9 dollars.99. read more

This somewhat small, hidden Korean restaurant, in the parking lot behind another Korean AYCE BBQ restaurant, specializes in pork broth dishes. Most Korean dishes are based on a beef broth, so this was a new experience for me, and I was not disappointed. They offer an early morning, 6 am to 10 am, special of 6 different soups @ $9.99. Although I have lived in Seoul, Korea and my wife is Korean, I cannot tolerate the slightest SPICY food. I thus, chose the only non-spicy soup of the 6 choices, the pork rice soup. It was absolutely delicious. In addition, you are served an assortment of 8 side dishes of Kimchi [3 of which were not spicy] and boole cha instead of water. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere cozy but simple, with traditional Korean decor, rather than being cluttered and of pseudo modern design. At 86 yrs old and retired, I do not typically rise early in the morning, but I will occassionally make the effort to return for their pork rice soup. I have not tried anything on their regular menu, but I observe their pricing is significant lower than most Spring Mountain area Korean restaurants. read more

Food delish & service excellent.Resturant was nicely decorated. The parking lot feels safe.

Really authentic Korean food. Only place that has Milmyun (밀면) that I know of and they do it right.

Great Korean food with rich, flavorful soup and generous portions. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. I'll definitely come back again! read more
