We had an excellent experience from start to finish! Jane, our server, was amazing, friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The food was top-notch, and we'll definitely be back! read more

This place definitely hit the spot for my meat cravings! We ordered the OG Korean Galbi, and was instantly satisfied after the first bite. The meat was incredibly tender, with a delicious smokiness from the charred edges near the bone but it was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the marinade. We visited on a Friday evening, and the ambiance was great! It wasn't overly loud or chaotic, which I appreciated. I loved that they played R&B music at a comfortable volume, so we could still enjoy our conversations. There were quite a few empty tables around us, but I imagine it gets busier during peak hours. Service was good, and the whole dining experience felt modern and efficient. You order through an iPad, and a robot delivers the food to your table but the staff a serve you. Overall a great spot for Korean BBQ. I'd definitely come back for the Galbi and imagine the pasta would be just as good too. read more

A few years ago, I gave this place five stars. Today I came back and didn't have the best experience. Upon arriving to our table, I had noticed there was a full drink with a cup spilled on the ground, and I kept stepping in it. They don't seem to fully check that the tables are clean. After waiting for the busser to come clean it up, we received our first appetizer. The potato jeon was just OK. It was lacking truffle flavor, and when we asked for more truffle oil, they told us they were going to charge it for it, but ended up giving it to us for free. It was also very oily and basically tasted like a hash brown. For our main entrée, we got the OC Galbi, which was still very good and a large portion. Very tender and perfectly cooked. They also cut up the party that surround the bone which were nicely charred and chewy. The sauce, however, seemed like an afterthought. It tasted fine with the meat but didn't feel like it was cooked with it. There's also not really much service. They barely check on you and ask how you're doing. They just let the iPad and robots do the work. read more

Unfortunately, our dining experience was extremely disappointing. Not only was the food served cold, but my husband's order was completely overlooked and never prepared. By the time the rest of us had finished eating, his meal still wasn't ready. The waitress kept telling us it was almost done, which only added to the frustration. What was even more disappointing was how the situation was handled. The only solution offered was a complimentary dessert. Let me be clear: I was not looking for anything free. I simply expected proper customer service, accountability, and a sincere apology. The manager couldn't even take a moment to come to our table, acknowledge the mistake, or apologize for the inconvenience. Mistakes happen, and I completely understand that, but how a restaurant handles those mistakes speaks volumes about its management and commitment to customer satisfaction. Dining out should be an enjoyable experience, especially when spending time with family. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short of expectations. I will not be returning. D'place this was table 15. Date 10/16/26. read more

I've been here numerous times for family events and gatherings with friends. Unfortunately, I've noticed that the food quality has become increasingly inconsistent over time. Some dishes are overly salty, while others are undercooked. The restaurant is always busy, so that might be one of the reasons for the inconsistency. On the positive side, the staff are friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant is a good option for private events or group gatherings. They also have a semi-private dining area within the main dining room. Although it doesn't have a separate door, it still offers a nice space for group celebrations. Overall, it's a convenient place for gatherings, but I really hope they improve the consistency and quality of their food. read more

Not sure what all the fuss is about. If you're craving traditional Italian food, you may want to look elsewhere. This place puts a unique spin on Italian cuisine, so if you're into fusion and creative dishes, it might be right up your alley. Unfortunately, the execution didn't quite hit the mark for me. The biggest issue? Everything was too sweet. The Octopus and Shrimp Ceviche were both overpowered by sugar-glazed cashews and strawberries that appeared to be soaking in a syrupy, pickled sauce. The sweetness overwhelmed the seafood rather than complementing it. The cocktails didn't fare much better. We tried the lychee and peach drinks and specifically requested the least amount of sugar possible. Despite that, both were still far too sweet for my liking, and I could barely taste the alcohol. Between the appetizers and cocktails, my palate was pretty much coated in sweetness. By the time the main courses arrived, it felt like everything was leaning in the same direction flavor-wise. Thankfully, the mains were much better. The Chimichurri Steak was cooked well, with a nice fat cap that added plenty of flavor. The accompanying potatoes were fantastic and ended up being one of my favorite things on the table. The Carbonara was rich, creamy, and satisfying. I also enjoyed the raw egg, which added to the dish's richness and overall experience. Service & Ambiance Service was excellent. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the decor was attractive. We also appreciated the privacy of our booth, which made for a comfortable dining experience. Final Thoughts I appreciate creativity and don't mind a fusion concept, but there's a fine line between inventive and overcomplicated. For me, the sweetness across the appetizers and cocktails overshadowed the more interesting flavors. The main courses showed promise, but not enough to make me want to return. And given the experience, I certainly wouldn't stand in line waiting for a table. read more

I usually Iike to check out a place before going in to a new restaurant, and dPlace is spacious, clean, with a good vibe when you walk in. We ordered the Galbi Korean plate. The meat was so tender and flavorful with that natural smoked flavor. It comes with salad, and sides of one small bowl of rice, bean sprouts, kimchi, and a small plate of pickled jalapeno & celery, which were all delicious! We also ordered the fried calamari, and I really liked it, but my sis thought it was a bit chewy. We all really liked the pickled jalapeño and kimchi that came with it, which was the same side dish that came with galbi. This visit was very enjoyable, and we will visit again soon. read more

Had lunch here recently - stopped by at 2 on a sat. Lots of parking - restaurant wasnt busy but we had to wait about 10 min to get seated. Loved that we could order using the tablet on the table. Got the rose shrimp pasta, the fried squid, and the picanha steak. Shrimp pasta was delicious - big portion, the sauce was perfect so creamy. Fried squid was the star - huge and crispy not oily and i loved the sauces included. Picanha was not that great - hard and chewy even though it was cooked perfectly medium- i would not order tjat again. Service was good and i would def come back read more

I came here with a party of 3 and we had such a great dining experience! The ambience of the restaurant is perfect for romantic dates, friendship catchups and even family dinners. I love how the tables are organized so you don't feel overcrowded by the other parties dining. We shared the OC Galbi Korean and the spicy gochujang rigatoni. Both dishes were phenomenal and I love how tender and flavorful the meat was. The galbi came with a yummy citrusy salad to balance everything out and it also come with unlimited refills with the banchan which were very refreshing. The pasta was also really delicious and creamy, but I do wish they added more bacon and maybe even some basil. Overall, great find and honestly the portions are pretty huge, which is great considering the price point. We even had some leftovers! read more

I brought my Son and his friends here at DPLACE STEAK & PASTA in Fullerton with (Italian / Korean cuisine). I've been wanting to go here ever since I saw a yelp friend post here. Whenever my Son goes out with his friends and I'm with them I'm 100% always Paying for everything so sometimes I'm the one to choose where for us to dine and this time I chose to go here at DPLACE restaurant. There's so many selections on their menu, all of us ordered our own Pasta and I ordered their sharable Big Meats. I chose for all of us to share since they are big plates of meats, so here is what we ordered: *OC GALBI KOREAN - Korean marinated bone-in SHORT RIBS, this came with Veggies, Salad, and Rice. *OC GALBI AMERICAN - Korean marinated bbq bone-in SHORT RIBS, this came with mexican street corn, french fries, kale slaw, and dinner rolls. *GRILLED MISO BOSSAM - (Marinated pork) *OCTOPUS SHRIMP CEVICHE *STREET EQUITES - mexican street corn *PITA BREAD *CARBONARA PASTA *PESCATORE PASTA -(Seafood pasta in red sauce) *MYUNG RAN NORI CREAM PASTA - (Seafood Pasta in white sauce) *LA CARNE PORK BELLY CREAM PASTA *MUSHROOM CREAM PASTA *SPICY GOCHUJANG RIGATONI *SALMON PASTA *LYCEE MOJITO Before my Son and his friends touched their food I sent one plate and passed it on to them so that they can put a small pasta on my plate so that I could taste each of them for my review. So far with all the Pastas I tried, everything is Delicious! The plating was big and a good portion for the price too. Most of the Pasta had a good amount of protein and it had a Toast bread too. Now for the Meat, that's the reason I came here, when I saw that they had these big plates of marinated meats I couldn't wait to go here. I ordered their sharable GALBI KOREAN, GALBI AMERICAN, and GRILLED MISO BOSSAM, these 3 PLATES full of MARINATED MEATS are a lot, like a really good portion, these plates of meats are delightful, delicious, and very tasty! I told my Son that we will be coming back here to this restaurant if we are in the area, which we for sure will be 'coz the Theme Park (Knott's Berry Farm) that we go is not that far of a drive from here. Whenever they want to dine here my answer will always be YES! My drink, the LYCHEE MOJITO, was so delicious and refreshing. Our APPETIZERS, the OCTOPUS SHRIMP CEVICHE & the order of MEXICAN STREET CORN, were both good too. We didn't make it to dessert, even though we wanted to 'coz our Stomach was so packed already :) Our original server came often when she was waiting to see if we already put our orders, but after that we barely saw her and needed to flag her often for our drink refills or what else we might need in the table , gladly another server ARIAH (I hope I got your name right) She became the one that always assisted us on what we might need after she saw us having to find our server. Server ARIAH had eyeglasses and an earring on her lips, so I hope I really got her name correct 'coz Ariah shes Super nice and very helpful to our table For Parking, even though there are a lot of small restaurants nearby and a Starbucks across, there's still plenty of Parking around. We really enjoyed dining here. It's definitely going to be our spot to dine in when we are in the area again. read more

The Korean style OC Galbi is a MUST TRY! The meat is so tender and flavorful. It's a big portion, enough for 2-3 people. We like to get it with the ssam. We also got the rose pasta with shrimp and the mushroom cream pasta with salmon. Both are really good! Though I think the OC Galbi stole the show. Cocktails here are also really good. They're big cocktails, not like the bars that charge for mostly ice. Service is good and the restaurant is big, great for groups! read more

Made the treck down to Fullerton from mid city on a Friday. I don't care if I have to drive far for food as long as the food is worth it. And this place was very very worth it. Since it's just a two of us I was not able to get that much items to try. We had to obviously get the short ribs, rose pasta dish and a steak tartare. The steak portion was big and I think this was worth it. It was cooked a little well but still very tender. The pasta was also very good, felt like eating the sauce from boiling crab but with cream and they had plenty of shrimp. The steak tartare was also on point I wish it came with more chips. The inside of the restaurant was a little dim but it had nice vibe. I think because everything is ordered on the iPad and the food is delivered by the robot there wasn't much human interaction read more

Flavors are soo good so many good side dipping sauces, and we always add Ssam! Also kids menu is super fair priced, they loved the pasta with tomato sauce. Comes with a little juice box. Dessert wise the lava cake and churros is the only things I've tried so far both are good!! read more

Heard from a friend that this place was pretty bomb so decided to try it for my bday dinner with my fam *** ORDERED Fried Calamari $18 Loved the fried calamari! Very crunchy and a perfect mix with both mayo and the marinara sauce. They fry the entire squid together and so they provide scissors for you to cut it :)) Truffle Pasta w/grilled salmon $28 (Forgot to take a picture) Very VERY creamy and thick I will say, it's better to just finish it there at the restaurant because they use A LOT of butter OC Galbi Korean $62 Comes with some banchan (sides) and a bowl of rice. It's a sweet savory cut up cow but I'm not sure if it's well worth the pricing Pescatore $19 A fairly basic seafood red sauced spaghetti Shrimp Rosè pasta $18 Brother had ordered this and said it was a bit on the watery side. I couldn't really taste the rosè in the pasta *** VIBES It's actually fairly loud in the restaurant as there is music and it's a big place. But it is a Korean family friendly place with fancy cutlery *** PEOPLE We had a reservation and were seated fairly fast and on time :) efficient and friendly staff *** OVERAL I think I liked this place but I somewhat feel that there are better places for Asian fusion with better price ranges. Don't get me wrong tho: I do think trying it once is always a good idea read more

Been here plenty of times and have gotten ALMOST everything on the menu. Front of house staff are amazing from A to Z, but the back of house needs to do better QC. We got served multiple closed mussels and were told they come from a vendor who boils/steams them before they get delivered. Nevertheless, the risk of eating a mussel that's died prior to cooking is high enough for Vibrio contamination that it should be weeded out BEFORE serving to customers. One of the managers said it was safe, but my dad is immunocompromised so he skipped all the seafood we ordered. But that's quite literally the only issue we've had in the 5+ times we've visited. Highlights: OC Galbi Korean Truffle pasta w/ grilled salmon Pescatore pasta Rosé pasta La Carne pasta Fried calamari (you MUST order this every time) Jjamppong Lowlights: Skip all the risottos. Tried all 3 of them and they don't make them very well here. Also check your mussels! read more

First visiting this place and absolutely had a great experience here. Highly recommend to make a reservation because they can be very busy especially on the weekends. Jjamppong Pasta: the pasta is chewy and well seasoned. It is not overly spicy and it comes with a good amount of seafood. Definitely recommend this if you want a different kind of pasta. OC Galbi Korean: Absolutely loved this dish. Must order and try this! The galbi is cooked just right, tender and juicy. The seasoning is on point as well. The arugula salad is a great match to the galbi, add a bit of refreshing taste to it. FYI, you can ask for more arugula salad for additional costs. I hope they're able to keep this. This is a great place of to hang out with friends. Lots of drink offered. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is modern and cozy. One suggestion is that their ordering system definitely needs some improvement. It often lags or freezes. Also, maybe consider adding an alert system because it might be difficult to get a staff's attention. Overall, highly recommended. And I would definitely come back. read more

Food: We came here to celebrate one of my parents' birthdays. The food reminded me a bit of Kei Concepts restaurants, with stylish presentations and Korean-inspired influences, but with much bolder flavors. Honestly, almost every dish could dial the seasoning back just a notch and still be excellent. The Myungran (mentai) cream pasta was delicious, creamy, and rich, but wow, it was much spicier than I expected when I ordered the spicy version. Not a complaint, just something to be aware of if you're expecting a mild kick. The beef tartare was well presented and flavorful, while the OC Galbi was probably the star of the meal, tender and packed with flavor. The prosciutto grapefruit burrata salad was the only dish that didn't fully land for me. The grapefruit and dressing combination leaned a little too tangy and acidic, with what felt like slightly too much vinegar for my taste. Price: Pricing lands in the upscale-casual range. Pastas generally run about $18-25, appetizers are mostly $15-20, steaks range from roughly $35-55, and signature dishes like the OC Galbi are around $60-65. For a meal with appetizers, entrées, and drinks, expect around $40-80 ish per person depending on what you order. Considering the presentation, portions, and quality of ingredients, I thought the pricing was fair for a birthday dinner. Ambiance: The restaurant strikes a nice balance between trendy and comfortable. It feels elevated enough for birthdays, anniversaries, or date nights, but not so formal that you feel out of place. The atmosphere is warm, modern, and has that polished Korean-fusion dining vibe that encourages you to order several dishes to share. Service: Service was attentive and professional throughout our visit. Food arrived in a reasonable timeframe, staff was friendly, and the overall experience felt well coordinated, which is especially appreciated when dining for a special occasion. They also have cute server robots going around from time to time! Parking: Parking was relatively easy thanks to the plaza location and dedicated lot. Much less stressful than fighting for street parking elsewhere in Orange County. read more

The food here is amazing, the quality and flavors were truly as it showed on social media. From the Mala Rose Tteokbokki that was soft, chewy and full of creamy yet umami flavor to the tender galbi with banchan pairings such as kimchi and marinated bean sprout. It is a bit different, you order on a tablet that's at each table. We would prefer for their entree price points to have a full service experience as when we used the request for staff button on the tablet there was either a bit of a wait or they did not come. Service overall was eh. The food made up for it. read more

This place is so much bigger than I thought it was. We got seated pretty quickly. There are tablets at every table to order and our server also came by to offer assistance if needed.

This place was so good we came back twice in one week. Came here on m birthday with a reservation and we were seated promptly. We tried the Korean style steak and the flavors were amazing. I especially love that the steak was pre cut so it made digging in right away super easy. When we came back the second time we got the American style steak and it honestly was not as good. We got the mala pasta and garlic pasta and both were good. The mala rose had a good spice to it and it was balanced well with the creamy rose. Would definitely recommend read more

Food used to be much better but has declined in quality and quantity. Yet, prices remain exorbitantly high for what you're getting. Their spicy rosé pasta no longer has veggies or rice cakes in it. The Korean galbi set has definitely declined in size and meat quality, and no longer comes with the banchan it used to. I think the dippin dots was $8, but they couldn't even take the time to put it in the bowl for me. Depending on who your server is, the service ranges from mediocre to nonexistent. This place had so much potential and the food was pretty good, but I just can't justify spending my time or money at an establishment that chases profits or attempts to cut costs completely on behalf of the patrons. read more

Lovely restaurant to take your family or partner! Stopped by here twice before I finally remembered to leave a review, but each time was just as memorable. Our server each time was friendly and attentive to the table. If you're in the area definitely try the OC Galbi Korean Style. As someone who is not a beef person majority of the time, I was pleasantly surprised by how tender and delicious this was and would get this again. My personal favorite was the prosciutto flat bread. Ordered this for my sister and I, but ended up loving it and took the last piece to go! Didn't have to wait too long to get seated when I visited in the middle of a workday, so if you get here during a dinner or lunch rush I can imagine the wait can be a little longer. Price point is a little higher than I would usually spend for a dinner in a restaurant, but the quality of the food is worth the extra dollars! read more

Ordered the tteokgalbi steak ($34). It was basically a thick hamburg steak (ground meat with onions inside) over a bed of mashed potatoes with sauce, topped with fried mushrooms, and served with a side of veggies. Ngl I thought I'd get thick cut steak, but this was good and juicy too! I'd prefer if the veggies were served hot like the meat. Restaurant was very clean, gives work appropriate vibes, but you can still dress casual. Waitress only comes when your food arrives or when you call for her on the table kiosk. read more

My family decided to check out dPlace to celebrate my sister's birthday! We were craving some good meat and pasta, so dPlace was the perfect place to go! We have 7 people in our party, so we called to reserve a spot, but they do take walk in if you have a smaller party. The staff were super welcoming and provided great service!! Here are the dishes we ordered: OC Galbi - Korean Style (come with banchans and rice) OC Galbi - American Style (come with dinner roll, salad and toasted corn) Carbonara Cream Pasta Pescatore Pasta Fried Calamari Everything hit so hard!! Love the flavor of the OC Galbi and the fact that they have 2 variations! It was a lot of meat though, so I would just order one style and order more pasta next time. Fried calamari was huge and not too greasy. Love the sauce from the pescatore pasta! dPlace is def a good restaurant to celebrate your special occasion! Highly recommend!! read more

The Rose Pasta was easily our favorite dish, but the steak was the true star of the meal. An absolute must-try. The Caesar salad could've used a bit more dressing, but the calamari was good. It was definitely the first time we've been served a whole squid and had to cut it ourselves, which was unexpected. The restaurant has plenty of spacious seating, and we felt welcomed when we arrived. Unfortunately, that's where the service experience fell short. Everything is ordered through the tablet, and the food is delivered by little robots, so there isn't much traditional table service. Toward the end of our meal, it took pressing the service button three separate times before someone came to our table. At that point, it would've been nice if there were an option to pay directly through the tablet as well. read more

This is my second time here, I brought my friend to taste the fusion of Korean dishes. She loved all the food we ordered, including the drink. You order from the kiosk on your table and the robot will bring it to you. Ofc , the server will be there to grab the dishes and put it on the table for you, cool right! They serve regular and alcoholic drinks . We didn't wanna get drunk , so we both ordered the Yuzu Grapefruit drink , and it tasted delicious! The moment we walked in she felt in love with the atmosphere and romantic vibes inside the restaurant . It's pretty cool and classy romantic at the same time. Great for dating and any gatherings. The high booth makes it more private for conversation. Plenty of parking outside. You can also take a walk after a full meal around the plaza. Great place to hang out !! read more

Came here a few times and the food, atmosphere, and service has always been great! The inside is dimly lit for a more intimate ambiance. I recently came on a sunday afternoon with my girlfriends to celebrate and it was fairly simple to make a reservation. The portion sizes are really big so we decided to share everything. We ordered the galbi, carbonara, and corn cheese. The galbi itself is huge! It fed 3 girls and enough to take some home after. The meat is very tender and came with multiple sides including rice and salad that isn't pictured. The carbonara is delicious! I honestly can eat that without the noodles and just use it as a dipping sauce. You can add additional protein but we just had it as is which came with bacon and mushrooms. The corn cheese was okay, I don't think I would order it again. It was a little bland in my opining and not enough cheese to corn ratio. I also ordered a mojito which normally comes with 1 flavor but the server was nice enough to combine all four flavors for me and it came out really good. The alcohol ratio was surprisingly well, I couldn't taste it but I felt it! I will definitely come back! read more

I would absolutely come back here. I've had this place bookmarked for some time and finally got to try it for my birthday dinner with my girlfriends. The place is very spacious. Clean, felt elegant with such minimal decor. We sat in a booth and it felt like we were the only ones there (it was intimate and wasn't too loud, until the music got louder). Celine was very present and checked in. We ordered through the kiosk on the table, very easy. If there were any personal adjustment on the dishes, it needed to be ordered through a server. I'm not going to go down the line of what we ordered, but I'm just going to say is that all the pasta dishes were great! We all got to taste each dish and it was all so good! Ooh the galbi, Deeeeelicious! Beautifully cut and plated served with a bowl of rice and 3 different pickled banchan to pair with this perfectly cooked meat. I look forward to taking my husband and kids here next time! read more

DPlace Steak & Pasta has quickly become one of those restaurants we genuinely look forward to coming back to. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is beautiful, but what really separates this place from a lot of other restaurants is the service. The service here is seriously 100/10. Everyone is incredibly attentive without hovering. We were constantly being checked on, water was kept filled, empty plates didn't sit around forever, and someone was always making sure we had everything we needed. What I especially appreciated was that it didn't feel forced or scripted. The staff genuinely seemed aware of what was happening at the table. That's becoming harder and harder to find, and DPlace absolutely nails it. Now the food. The Korean Galbi, OMG. This came out on a huge platter and immediately got everyone's attention. The amount of meat alone was impressive. It was beautifully charred, incredibly tender, and packed with that sweet, savory Korean BBQ flavor. You get those caramelized edges from the grill while the meat stays juicy inside. There were pieces around the bone, sliced pieces, slightly crispier pieces, basically every good part of galbi piled onto one platter. It also comes with rice, salad, and Korean style sides, including kimchi and pickled vegetables, which were perfect for cutting through the richness of the meat. This is definitely something I would order again, especially if you're dining with other people and want something everyone can share. Then there's the Spicy Shrimp Rosé Pasta. Completely different direction from the galbi, but just as good. The sauce was creamy, rich, and had enough heat to actually deserve the word "spicy." The spice doesn't overpower the dish though, you still get the creaminess and tomato flavor of the rosé sauce. They weren't stingy with the shrimp either. There were large shrimp throughout the pasta, the noodles were completely coated in sauce, and the Parmesan on top brought everything together. The toasted bread on the side was perfect for soaking up whatever sauce was left in the bowl. Definitely don't let that sauce go to waste. One of the things I really like about DPlace is that the menu gives you options you normally wouldn't expect to find together. You can have an amazing Korean galbi platter sitting next to a bowl of creamy pasta and somehow neither one feels like an afterthought. They actually execute both extremely well. The ambiance is another huge plus. It's modern, clean, and upscale without feeling overly formal or stuffy. The lighting and decor make it feel nice enough for a date night or celebration, but it's still comfortable enough to come for a casual dinner with family or friends. It's honestly one of those restaurants that works for almost any occasion. But I keep coming back to the service because that's what really completes the experience here. Great food can bring you into a restaurant once, great service is what makes you want to return, and DPlace has both. Korean Galbi, 10/10 Spicy Shrimp Rosé Pasta, 10/10 Ambiance, 10/10 Service, easily 100/10 DPlace is officially one of our spots. Great portions, seriously good food, a beautiful atmosphere, and some of the most attentive service we've had in a while. And that Korean Galbi alone is enough reason to come back. read more

Who knew Italian and Korean cuisines could fall so madly in love? This hip, unpretentious spot proves that savory Italian and semi-sweet, umami-rich Korean are a match made in culinary heaven. The vibe is perfectly romantic--ideal for staring deeply into your date's eyes while the attentive (but never hovering) staff ensures your happy hour drinks keep flowing. Honestly, the rich, old-country mushroom carbonara is such a fantastic flavor bomb that if someone took a bite at the next table, you'd immediately point to the waiter and say, "I'll have what she's having." The true climax of this delicious love affair, however, is the spicy risotto and the Tomahawk-sized OC Galbi. This slightly charred, mind-blowing cut of beef is a total celebration dish that you definitely couldn't pull off in your own kitchen or backyard. Between the fantastic happy hour apps and the undeniable Michelin Bib Gourmand potential, this Dplace isn't just a casual culinary fling--t's a happily ever after waiting to happen. read more

Tried this place out for the first time. So worth the hour drive! There was no wait when we came at around 2 pm on a Sunday. Service was decently fast. I was amazed by the amazing quality of all of the food- we ordered the Korean Galbi, gochujang rigatoni, and the calamari. My fiance said that this was the best calamari he ever had, and I really liked the sauces they provided with it! The galbi was soooo nice and tender, and their plate comes with so much too- definitely enough to share amongst 3-4 people, and that's a lot coming from a big back like me. Service was also quick and attentive! I rounded up to a 5 stars, but this place is more like a 4.5 to me- the only thing that's preventing it from being perfect is their rampant use of AI. When I called, they had an AI answer my questions, and the Ai voice was super annoying and kept interrupting my questions. The uncanny part about the AI responder is that they play restaurant ambient noises in the background so that it "feels" like you're talking to a real person- it just feels so dystopian in my opinion. They also play AI music constantly in the restaurant, which can be repetitive and annoying to some. Anyway, I'm definitely coming back, but I would probably like this place even more if it had more of a human touch! read more

We had a great dining experience at Dplace Steak and Pasta! The fried calamari was crispy, well seasoned, and served in a generous portion. The delicious tartar sauce made it even better. We also tried the Mala rigatoni, which my wife loved. I personally would have liked a little more boldness since I enjoy salty and spicy flavors, but it was well balanced and approachable for a variety of palates. The short rib steak was the highlight of the meal, seasoned and cooked perfectly. It was so tender that I've honestly been dreaming about it ever since! The service was great and attentive, and the beautiful interior made dining in even more enjoyable. We'd definitely come back, especially for that short rib steak! read more

it is my mother's birthday. I was about to approach 1 year mark with my new job. I took my mother out for dinner. My mom heard about this place from her friend. so why not. Know this place is relatively know since this was a Souplantation. The moment we entered the restaurant, it has this relaxing k-drama vibe. The light is kinda dim with an auto serving robot. The food order is done at the table with the tablet. We ordered the steak plate which is enough for 2 people. It was great. steak was juicy and tender. Fries were well seasoned and the sides provided a great balance. read more

I was pretty disappointed in this place. The atmosphere is nice but the food was a miss. I didn't take a picture of it, but some how a metal chard ended up in one of the pieces of the truffled potato appetizer. I was chewing and felt something sharp and weird in my mouth. Not sure how something like that could end up in the food, but that made me lose my appetite. The galbi was a let down. For $65 bucks, I was expecting better. It looks nice but for some reason the top portions were the cartilage pieces not the good parts of the meat. The best dish was the shrimp rose pasta, but it was still mid. You order off an iPad on the table so there's not too much interaction with the workers. read more

I saw that dPlace served a whole calamari, and I had to try it! I also ordered the shrimp and octopus ceviche, bread with a balsamic vinaigrette-style sauce, and the spicy seafood pasta. Ordering is a little different here since everything is placed through a tablet mounted to the table. The food is delivered by a robot, while a server monitors the robots and helps remove the beverages and plates. It was a fun and unique concept. Overall, the food was decent. I enjoyed the pasta, although the mussels had a stronger, fishier taste than I prefer. There are still a few other drinks and pasta dishes on the menu that caught my attention, so I'd come back to try more. read more

New favorite place in town. Server Jane was amazing! She frequently checked in on us, made sure we had what we needed, and served us with professionalism and enthusiasm. To add to the customer service, the food was top notch! The environment of the restaurant is also trendy but intimate. Would recommend . Can't wait to be back! read more
