Food - 5/5 - When you sit down, they serve you a complimentary small cup of bone broth to start your appetite! The menu has a good amount of selection that does set this a bit different from other Korean places in the area! We ordered the bossam, soy marinated crab and the seafood pancake and it did not disappoint! Everything was so good. The seafood pancake was fragrant and crispy, full of veggies and you definitely get bites of seafood. The marinaded crab was a small medium crab with a bowl of rice on the side. There seems to be a lot of roe and crab butter which is the best! They provide gloves for you to enjoy the crab without mess. The bossam was tender and the fresh wraps made it incredibly enjoyable. The banchan was plentiful and a good amount of variety, I enjoyed each one, especially the honey nut mix! **Please be advised that if you have any particular food allergies, let the staff know before ordering to ensure your safety as allergens, like nuts, are in the kitchen** Price - $$ - The pricing for this place compared to portion size is pretty average. It's not budget friendly but the price point is about $25-30 per person depending on what you get to share. Service - 5/5 - The servers here are incredibly attentive and notice your needs quite well. They know when to step in and provide help or ask if you may need something. They're incredibly generous and are very helpful. Ambiance - 5/5 - The interior is cozy and bright. The mood and smells tell you that you will have a good meal once you walk in. Location - 2/5 - As this is located on Main Street in downtown Alhambra, parking on this side of Main Street is not ideal but they do have a private structure in the back. It does get crowded due to it being shared so just be aware of the chance of parking on the street. ____________ **Note: Location rating does not affect yelp review, this is just for informative purposes of other patrons only. read more

The Dae Mun - our dinner spread: bossam, soy marinaded crab, seafood pancake. - Korean Near Me - Alhambra, California

I wanted to like this place more because the staff is extremely welcoming but the food doesn't taste the best (yet)! We ordered the squid hot plate and the bossam which both were small portions in my opinion for the price. The squid hot plate had way too much sugar that are rice crystalized within a minute and it was left super hard. The sauce was way too sweet and it was not spicy at all. The bossam needs some work. They gave us really large pieces of cabbage stem and they were hard to chew and bite on. Usually bossam has thin cabbage pieces to properly wrap and eat bossam. The garlic used is not fresh garlic slices like I'm used to and they use jarlick. The sides are good, I think the best part of the meal was the bachan. For the same price or cheaper I think I'll just stick to going to Ktown for Korean food. read more

They give you free bone broth when you arrive which is perfect because it was a cold evening. Gamjatang had alot of broth and tasted clean but it feels like there wasnt enough meat. The only meat was from the bone. 3/5 because of the meat portion. The seafood pancake was good. It was alot bigger than expected and they give a decent amount of shrimp. We asked for the pancame to be cut into smaller pieces instead of 6. 4.5/5 Server also packed my broth. Surprised his hands didnt burn. I will be back to try their raw marinated crab. Roomy and has AC read more

Hubby & I have dined in once for lunch on a Sunday, and we thought it was okay. First impression is that their meat portions are quite little. Their banchan and complimentary broth are good. I was not a fan of their Sullungtang (#3), as I feel you can get better elsewhere around SGV. Mixed meat amount wasn't very much and I didn't feel like the broth was thick enough. We also ordered their BBQ Combo (#28) with Bulgogi & Cold Broth Noodle. Again, bulgogi portion was a bit small. I did like their Cold (Buckwheat) Noodles. I did see that their specialty is Ganjang Gejang (Soy Raw Marinated Crab), which I will have to try with another visit since we just had some when we visited Seoul...and would also like to try to their Bossam. However, I do feel their prices are a bit on the higher side. Will update when we try! read more

New Korean spot in Alhambra, CA that's definitely worth checking out. They specialize in authentic skillet-style rice dishes along with traditional Korean favorites, all served hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The quality of ingredients really stands out! The space is surprisingly large and comfortable, making it great for groups, and the service is attentive and welcoming. A nice touch--they serve hot bone broth as soon as you're seated. Solid experience overall and I'm already looking forward to coming back. read more

The Dae Mun - B17 - Ojing-uh Dolpan B13 - Dolsot Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Alhambra, California

Stopped by Dae Mun since I heard it was the newest korean restaurant in the valley. It was described as the sister restaurant of Sun Nong Dan so I was intrigued. We ordered the vegetable pancake, bulgogi and naengmyeon combo + galbi jjim with cheese. The vegetable pancake came first and it was good but slightly too crispy/fried for me. There was also seafood in it and I got confused because it was advertised as vegetable (and I don't eat seafood). The galbi jjim was just as heavy as other restaurants but a lot smaller than expected with the potato being uncooked and crunchy! If we had ordered it alone for our party of 6, we definitely would not have been full. Lastly, the bulgogi was a bit flavorless and the naengmyeon (my first time trying it!) was a little too sour for my taste - noodle chewiness was on point though! Overall, don't think I would come back. I did really enjoy their walnut peanut side dish and the bone broth shots (lol). read more

Went to try this new Korean place in Alhambra, overall not too bad for Korean food, total came out to be around $25 per person. Highlights: 1. Complementary bone broth! This is probably the only place I've ever been to that serves you bone broth for free 2. Side dishes - refillable (except for the premium one on the white place), and goes well with rice 3. Oxtail soup - soothing soup, came with a good amount of oxtail bones, served fresh in a pot I think this place has a lot of potential and I had a pleasant experience trying it out. I like how it is conveniently located on Main Street, and the interior was quite nice. We also had fairly good service, although it took a while for me to get my check. The Korean food scene in LA is highly competitive, so I'm hoping this place can differentiate itself from other restaurants by the time of their grand opening! read more

The Dae Mun - A11 - Budae Jjigae - Korean Near Me - Alhambra, California

We are so happy that a decent Korean restaurant with extensive menu has opened close to our home! The ambiance and set up was modern and clean. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. My husband dropped a spoon and a new one was waiting for him above his head as he was picking up the dropped utensil. Also the staff voluntarily kept our last bowl of rice warm and served it only after we finished our first two bowls. The extra mile in their attention and hospitality really made the dining experience so pleasant! We had their pork neck soup, army stew, and grilled galbi. All 3 dishes were so tasty and I highly recommend all 3! Can't wait to return to sample more of their menu! read more

Amazing Korean food addition to the SGV/Alhambra area! The service was top notch and it's very clean inside. First off, Daemun is very generous in refilling pan-chan (side dishes) and there's a plethora of options. Our table really loved the fried tofu and the kids loved the potatoes. Everyone get served beef broth as a starter, and kids got a bowl of rice mixed with beef broth. Hospitality 10/10! Our large group shared a galbi-jim and it was rich and flavorful! The meat was falling off the bones. Also, naegmyun cold noodles were great especially as the days are getting hotter. So happy about this place and will definitely be visiting again. read more

The Dae Mun - F30 - Galbi Jjim - Korean Near Me - Alhambra, California

Went here for their soft opening. Solid spot for Korean food if you're in the area. Clean and spacious inside. Bulgogi and galbi ribs - 4/5. The bulgogi wasn't overly sweet like some other places. The galbi was good, a bit chewy though. Bibimbap - 4/5. A Korean staple. All the ingredients tasted fresh, but there was barely any beef (maybe five or six small pieces). Beef brisket soup - 5/5. The broth base is on the lighter side, but still flavorful. Great option if you're looking for something healthy. I'd come back to try their galbitang. read more

The last time two times I've had Korean food in the SGV area in the recent years have been terrible experiences. I usually get Korean food in Orange County but I've been trying more out here when I'm with my gf. Here's what we ordered: **Dolsot Bibimbap: First off, presentation was spot on with the variety of colors with the egg right on top. Once we mixed it up, it was mostly rice. There was a very small amount of meat; about a three finger pinch so basically nothing. The gochujang served with the bibimbap was one of the worst we've had. It had no sweetness to it and was too vinegary. Ratios were way off and was terribly by itself. (2/5) **Mul Naengmyun: Very refreshing but there were too many big blocks of frozen solid broth. After finishing all the liquid, there was about 30-40% of the whole dish frozen. The portion of noodles was very low. I had a couple chopsticks worth of noodles and was finished so quickly. The most disappointing thing about this dish was that there was no meat. Flavor was actually really good but unfortunately, it failed in every other category. (2/5) **LA Galbi: Highlight of the evening was the LA Galbi. The bone was very small and the meat had very good flavor. (5/5) The banchan were hit and miss. The radish muchim was very good and had great flavor. I personally also liked the squash and seaweed dish too. The mook/muk, ojingeojeot, and kimchi were insanely salty. Ojingeojeot is one of my most favorite banchans of all time but this was easily the worst one I've had. The yuksu (bone broth) they served in the beginning was amazing and refreshing. The service was good but the waiters don't speak any Korean. I ordered in Korean like I do at any other restaurant but the guy repeated the order back in English. There were only a few Korean people I saw in the restaurant including someone resembling the manager, another front of house employee, and one woman cooking the food in the back of house. Food was honestly very disappointing and the banchan isn't anything to write home about. Service is good but I expect to be able to order in Korean especially at a restaurant like this that serves traditional Korean food. They've been open for about a month now and it looks like they're still in their soft opening phase. It also looks like they're rotating out their banchans every week to see what the customers like. They have a small parking garage directly behind the restaurant offering 2 hours of free parking. Other than that, there's plenty of street parking available on Main St and 4th St. I'm currently 0/3 for Korean restaurants in the SGV area and I would skip this spot for now. read more

3 stars It is with some sad news that I have to give this new restaurant a lower star rating. Firstly, I understand that they are still new and still hiring. Secondly, I came on a Sunday night and maybe they weren't staffed properly. Thirdly, because they're so new, maybe some staff members are still training. With all that said, these were the things I had an issue with: Upon my arrival, it was 7pm and there were plenty of tables open. The host (maybe it's the restaurant manager?) puts down my name on a list and said it would be a 20 minute wait. Ok, fine. I didn't get seated until 7:30pm, which is fine-whatever. In that 30-minute waiting period, the manager closes the front door, but it's locked, so one of the staff members from outside has to knock to get in. I open the door for him after checking with another staff member that it is ok to let this guy in... who locks the door during business hours? In the meantime, other people ahead on the list get seated. Fine. Anyways, I get seated at 7:30pm and order my food. BUT, everyone who came in after me, got seated right away. 15 minutes later, my banchan comes out, and another 15 minutes later, my order comes out. All is fine. The server, who was great btw, offers to refill the potato banchan and he returns with the news that they ran out. Also fine. BUT, here is the kicker, 2 young ladies come in around the time I've finished half my soup and, I think they might know the host, and they were given the banchan plus the potato banchan. Look, just tell me there are no refills for solo diners. It is FINE...my feelings will not be hurt if I'm told the truth, but I am extremely disappointed that I was lied to. I'm not blaming my server b/c I understand that instructions in any hospitality business are coming from the top-down. Ambiance: they did a lot of remodeling to look like an Ikea catalog, but whatever. It was neat, clean, modern, and devoid of any culture like so many modern Asian restaurants. Whatever positive impression I had of the restaurant design is completely neutralized by the above stated experience. 3/5 stars. Banchan: pickled peppers were decent (4/5 stars), kimchi (4/5 stars), broccoli w/ sesame dressing (4/5 stars), stirfried fish (4/5 stars), & those darn spicy POTATOES (5/5 stars). Budae Jigae ($19.95): Frankly, individual servings of army stew have no business being $20 b/c in many restaurants, a huge family-sized budae jigae would be $45-55 before tax. This was good, but not worth the price. I'd still get it again if I ever came back. 3.5/5 stars. Coke ($2.50): we all know this is a rip-off, but I was hoping to support a local restaurant regardless of what happened earlier. Free private parking in the back or free street parking. Overall, they can improve. read more

A mixed bag, with most of the stars going to the excellent staff that was highly attentive and nice, doing the best they can with the soft opening hiccups. Pros: + Again, staff was very attentive and nice. They offered bone broth in a cup for a very cold rainy day to start before waters, although maybe to make up for the lack of hot water somehow when we were there. Sounds like a broken hot water machine. They checked up frequently, so no issues with getting staff attention. + Clean and nice simple feel to the restaurant (although arguably a must for a new place), although the tables on the side has very tight spacing when filled up. My fiance had to sit next to me rather than across from me since the other table made it hard to sit in the chairs right behind them. + Banchan was decent, with a unique broccoli option that I don't think I've seen at other places. Seems to be free for refills if you asked. Cons (unfortunately all food here): For the price point, the food left quite a bit to be desired. Best way to put it is for almost a $20 bowl of soup, it felt a bit average. My yukhoe bibimbap is $27, yet I'm not quite sure if I'm getting great beef plus I wished the ingredients were more finely cut to make eating easier because I was navigating a prickly salad and giant chunks of radish versus truly enjoying a mouthful of rice given how the side was presented or paired here. This was a spicy dish, which I didn't quite handle as well either and don't think it was clearly noted on the menu as such. The portions were decent, but I don't think the pricing met the expectations from an ingredients standpoint. With so much competition in the growing array of Korean places in the SGV, I could probably get similar, if not the same dishes, for less and still would be very flavorful. Another table who came in before us seemed to be sitting for some time, but their galbi took forever in terms of the wait and they were served their food well after we already ate, so another soft opening kink. I guess I'm lucky our dishes didn't take as long and it looks like the staff kindly comped that table some drinks for the wait, but just know what you're heading in for during this phase of the restaurant opening. read more

This new Korean restaurant just soft opened on Main Street in Alhambra and I had a really enjoyable experience. The interior is super spacious with plenty of seating and the staff is very informative and attentive. They start you off with a cup of hearty soup that was really comforting! For their sides they brought out spicy fermented skate fish which was really unique and had a crunchy texture similar to radish. I ordered a cold noodle and my friend got the sullungtang. Their cold noodles were really good with a nice chewy texture and a tangy flavor. The sullungtang tasted good and you can season to your liking. The dishes here are on the pricier side, though nothing out of the ordinary nowadays. They have other dishes that I would want to try like their Galbi jjim and Galbi tang. Overall a solid new Korean spot! read more

I was randomly browsing Yelp for new restaurants and I saw that this brand new Korean restaurant was in soft opening, right next to Bobacraft Cafe. I saw that this restaurant also had yukhoe, or Korean beef tartare, which my friend enjoys. So I decided to come here with some friends for lunch. Since the restaurant was in soft opening, there were plenty of seats available despite us going on a weekend. We were seated right away. The restaurant is super clean and the spacing is quite generous. The staff are super attentive. We had a big party, so we ended up sharing multiple items. We shared a bossam, dolsot bibimbap, yukhoe, budae jjigae, and hemul pajun or seafood pancake. The banchan were super unique, and included sweet fried peanuts, kimchi, and also skate, a cartilaginous fish akin to stingray. The unique banchan was a treat. The seafood pancake was my favorite dish. The batter was quite different and had a tempura like texture to it. The yukhoe or beef tartare was quite good too. I also loved the bossam or pork belly, which came with generous spicy fried chicken and various other toppings. Every dish I had at this restaurant was amazing and well done. I would definitely come back. read more

4.5/5 I didn't realize it was a soft opening when I came. They provided a beef bone broth and it was a warm, flavorful start to our meal. We tried the green onion pork belly dish and the yukhoe bibimbap. The sides were good, seasoned well, and refillable, except the two they were making set amounts daily. I wasn't expecting the green onion pork belly to come with rice, but I did like the garlic flakes and how the rice crisped up on the bottom. I was expecting thicker cuts of pork belly like samgyeopsal, although this version with the thinner slices was also enjoyable. The yukhoe bibimbap was fresh and I particularly liked the microgreens, pears, and pine nuts paired with the meat and sauce. The server was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

So excited there's finally a Korean restaurant on Main St! There are plenty of Asian restaurants in the area, but we were really missing a Korean spot, so I'm glad this one opened. We ordered the mixed beef soup and the pork belly plate. The mixed beef soup was absolutely perfect--just a heads up that you season it yourself to your own preference, which I really liked. The pork belly was also delicious, especially wrapped in lettuce and dipping sauce, and I loved the variety of side dishes. The service was super attentive, and the restaurant has been renovated with a nice, clean aesthetic. Would absolutely come back again! read more

Came to try The Dae Mun and it was not bad! We got the oxtail soup - which comes with 3-4 pieces of oxtail and one of their galbi + cold noodle sets. The bibimyun was spicy but large portion. The galbi in the set is smaller than the full portion but still tasty. The soup was not super flavorful but a little on the lighter side. I love how they have a lot of banchan and you can refill the banchan as many times as you want. I really liked the potato and fish cake banchan. I'd love to come back and try some of their other menu items. Service is very very nice. It almost makes the whole meal a little better because of how hospitable everyone working here was. They have one gender neutral restroom that's pretty large and clean. Lots of free parking and street parking all around. read more

New Korean restaurant on main street in Alhambra. The staff is very attentive and the setting is clean. We were given a hot bone broth in a cup to start with and asked for barley tea; both warmed up my belly before the meal. We ordered the mixed bone broth and a combo with kalbi and cold noodle soup. The kalbi was very tender and flavor was good. The noodles were in clumps in the soup, broth was good and there was quite a bit of pickles in there plus a slice of pear and meat. The mixed beef broth needed a little more umph of bones in there. Not a fan of the squid side dish, kimchi and pickled cucumbers needed a little more flavor, only tasted the acidity. The fish cake was a little chewy, veggie dish was good, not sure if it was sesame oil but it was something really aromatic. Caramalized lotus roots had good flavor, also a bit chewy. Also, might wanna move the soft opening sign so elderly folks won't think that's an entrance. read more

friends can attest that i had been wanting to try since they opened. happy to report i don't have to go to ktown to get my fix! for sunday lunch, the place was surprisingly empty even though they had just opened for the day. sat down to cups of piping hot beef broth already on the table. kids enjoyed it even though it has a slight kick of white pepper. menu was super expansive and soondubu was noticeably absent - likely an intentional move due to other restaurants serving that already. ordered bibimbap for the kids, buchujeon and sullungtang. i had read another review that kids received complimentary bowls of rice and broth but i had completely forgot about it, so i was pleasantly surprised when our server brought out two big bowls of it. honestly, one bowl was enough for both our young kids. the broth is the same complimentary beef broth. love how accommodating and inclusive they are! in this economy and having picky kids, we were so appreciative! -banchans were delicious - i especially loved the squid since that's my fave. -bibimbap was standard - i didn't end up using the sauce as i ate it with the squid. buchujeon is massive and when i had ordered it, our server, jacky, said there was some seafood in it and if that was alright, either for the kids or allergy purposes. interesting that it doesn't say on the menu description. would have loved for it to be crispier, but it was still good! -sullungtang came in with a rolling boil. the noodles inside were perfectly cooked and broth was creamy and cozy. my eldest who normally doesn't eat much ate quite a bit. i was worried when i didn't see soondubu on the menu. the food was a hit for everyone! shoutout to jacky, who was friendly and brought us all our needs (extra bowls and silverware, napkins, banchan, etc). need to try the marinated crab soon! read more

Glad there's more Korean options around here Bibimbap: the menu said it had meat but it only had tiny sprinkles of meat. Had I known, I would have ordered something else. Taste was solid. Beef soup:My mom said it was ok but I thought it was very a flavorful and clean broth with rice and side dishes. Would order again. Pancake: my sister liked this but it had way too many vegetables for my liking Spicy cold noodle: very tasty Value: Things are expensive nowadays.

The ultimate question for whether a restaurant is good or not is whether you will come back. The answer for this one is a definite yes. The food is ready with normal amount of time, especially for soft opening (normally very slow). The food has very generous portion and taste very good. The beef rib is tender yet still have a bite to it. Right after we sat down, a special soup was served. We were told that this special soup helps to cleanse your palate. I have tried it thoughout the meal and it worked very well, I started to call it my "reset button drink". Another reason to come back to a place is that the food and the experience make you happy, and I feel happy enough to write a good review, lol. read more

This place just opened. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their yangji sullungtang, dolsot bibimbap, and chive pancake to try. They started us off with some complementary broth and a bunch of banchan. The broth was umami, meaty, and mellow and all the banchan tasted pretty fresh and light. Nothing too pungent. My fave was probably this pepper one. The suluntang came rice, noodles, brisket, and a side pot of green onions and salt to season to taste and when you added it it helped to unlock the deep, comforting light beef flavor of the broth. Course you gotta mix the bibimbap and add some sauce and the rice got that nice crispy, toasted, bottom. Very comforting and yummy. It didn't come with any meat tho. It did come with like this miso soup side tho. This was my first time having a Korean chive pancake and it was really good. They hand cut it table side and it had a Lightly crisp outside with a chewy, perfectly savory and fragrant inside. They also told me to pair it with this slightly sweet savory soy sauce which did take it to the next level. Portions are kinda small for the price but overall this place is still lowkey pretty good. Yangji sulluntang $18.95 Dolsot bibimbap $21.95 Chive pancake $18.95 read more

Food is great. Loved their banchan. Seafood pancake and the bossam was really good. Will definitely be back

They're currently in soft opening and we came here on a weeknight just as it started to get busy. I could tell that staff was a bit overwhelmed but they handled it well. They serve you a cup of complimentary bone broth to start off that I couldn't stop sipping on. We got the galbitang and seafood pancake to share. When the galbitang came out, we were so enamored by how clear the broth was. Super clear broth for being so flavorful. The beef was tender but you def had to use your hands to not waste any meat on the bone. They were generous with the seafood on the seafood pancake and you could hear how crispy it was while they cut it into slices for you. Overall, delicious food with amazing service and I'm so happy they opened another korean restaurant in the area :) read more

We tried out the yellow croaker and flounder dishes. The dishes state that the fish is grilled, but it looked more like they were lightly breaded and fried. The flounder was fine. The part that shocked and grossed us out was that we expected the croaker to be gutted and cleaned out, but upon opening the fish, we found the full guts inside. There was a dark grey mass that we had to extract from the fish, with a noticeable fishy smell. Made us lose our appetite seeing that. read more

New Korean restaurant opened in Alhambra, and I had to try as a fellow Korean. Since it is new, there aren't many people yet but still quite a few. I ordered plain beef brisket soup (yangji tang). Staff was rather very gentle and calm, so I felt like they were trained for targeting Asians (lol). My dish came out super fast. All side dishes were very tasty, rice quality was ok, and soup was great. One small thing bothered me was, there was no black pepper to add! In the middle, staff brought another side dish which seems special. I have never seen this kinda of hot side dish is served. It contains mushroom, fish cake, egg with mild spicy+sweet flavor. Very tasty too. Including tax, it was $21. It is not like everyday restaurant (not super cheap, and many other foreign restaurants have the same issue), but I fee like this restaurant will be my go-to Korean restaurant. 5min distance matters a lot too. read more
