"NOTE: They close early on weekdays at 12AM now 2AM on weekends night. Yelp hours are wrong!I came to Daebak around 11PM when seated, they told us last call for kitchen was 11:30PM they were closing at 12AM. If I knew they were closing early now, I would of went some where else to eat not be rushed. We ordered Seafood Pancake, Spam Kimchi Roll, Steamed Egg Cheese Fire Chicken.Seafood Pancake: 3.8/5 Stars. The seafood pancake tasted good dipping with the soysauce with chili peppers they provided the portion they give you is alot to share for 2-3 people. I would order this again!Spam Kimchi Roll: 4.2/5 Stars. It's something simple but still taste delicious. The rolls are big, but I wish they added a little bit of more kimchi flavor because I can barely taste the kimchi in the roll. Steamed Egg: 2.7/5 Stars. The steamed egg was okay, wasn't anything that wow'd me. I had better steamed eggs at different places. The steamed egg had no flavor, could barely taste anything. Wouldn't recommend it.Cheese Fire Chicken: 5/5 Stars. This is a new dish they added, I would recommend getting this dish. The flavor of this dish was amazing. The chicken was soft, covered with cheese the sauce they put under the chicken was amazing. It has a really small kick of spice but it tasted so good. I dipped my seafood pancake, eggs the roll with the sauce on the bottom. Overall, I give this place a 4.1 Star. I would come back try more new items they added to their menu!"

This is an excellent spot for a late-night meal. The dishes I tried were unique and incredibly tasty. I have visited multiple times, and I definitely recommend it. Food: 5/5

Been here quite a few times and it's always been a pretty peasant experience, the cheese corn and daebak fries are really good (though they are extremely stingy on the meat in the fries, I'm talking like there's barley a sprinkle of meat) but the drinks and service here is always pretty solid. It can get pretty busy at times so expect a wait if you come during weekend nights

Cool spot to come here with friends to drink. Ended up getting some soju fruit drinks that come in the actual fruit and a yogurt soju mixed bottle to share. Parking does suck and will have to find parking around the corner if no parking is available in the small parking lot.The drinks were fair price. We also go garlic fries but don't recommend. Could use more flavor and tossing. Check this out if looking for a chill place to come drink : View menu

The pork belly is cooked and seasoned perfectly, while the fried chicken is crispy but quite bland without the accompanying sauce. The kimchi fried rice is flavorful, though it’s not the dry-style variety. The steamed dumplings have a unique folding style. The vegetable salad is fresh, and the stir-fried octopus is tasty, although the texture is quite chewy. Lastly, the side dishes are simple. The waitress is friendly, and there is a great selection of Korean beverages available.

The owner guy asked to myself and my friend if he could take a picture of us. We were told that we are getting a printed out picture but he only took one and he set it up on a used up melon to just show it to us and to take a pic of that instead of what I have promised. Shady guy. Cheap. Food was mediocre, the only good thing was the servers. They were so sweet and awesome. I'm only giving stars because of them. I hope they work for someone more respectable. I won't be returning. Much love

This place is a little on the expensive side, but it's absolutely worth it! It's quite popular with groups, making it a bit noisy for romantic dates—though that doesn't deter me. The food and atmosphere are fantastic! I specifically come for the fried chicken, which always arrives piping hot. The regular potato fries that come with it are just okay, but you can order sweet potato fries instead, which I think are much better. It takes me a while to be able to hold the chicken in my bare hands, but it's always incredibly crispy, well-seasoned, and the spicy sauce is delicious! The entrance is a bit narrow, but I believe it should be manageable for some mobility devices; however, I recommend ca... View menu

tl;dr Food options are best for sharing, a bit pricy for the overall quality of food. Fruit shell cocktails are a cool novelty! I think the Yelp rating of 3.5 stars at the time of this review is accurate as the food is tasty, but it's not cheap. Parking is limited as it's a small lot for several shops. I used to come here a few times pre-pandemic, and this was my first visit back since then. I'd say the quality and experience are about the same. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so expect a wait if you come late since this is definitely a late-night spot. The hot clay pot bibimbap was pretty good, very light flavor except for the mushrooms, which were delicious. I hardly found any beef...

Food, service, atmosphere excellent.There were a few things that drew me to Daebak. At first it was the soju served in melons and pineapples. Then it was the booth with the red phone and the girl with the big head. The red phone looked like the rotary phone i had during my early 20 's. I 'd look at it and reminisce while listening to K pop and sipping on soju and munching on spicy rice cakes. Soon after I 'd order a bottle of Chamisul classic to pour into the fruit and a bottle of Cass to back it up. The girl with a big head was interesting. Why? Because she was nosy and her eyes twinkled with curiosity. From the very start, she asked personal questions and told dirty jokes. She must have ha...
