"I was looking for a restaurant in Clarksville that was conveniently located between my house and my father's for a birthday dinner. After reading reviews, I decided on Dae Bok. Herman, who runs the place, and his mother, a native Korean, handle the cooking. He mentioned that his mother uses jackfruit as a meat alternative for vegan dishes, or simply omits meat for those options—just ask about which dishes can be adapted. I ordered the Bulgogi with jackfruit, while my father chose the Chicken Bulgogi. He ended up trying and enjoying the jackfruit, too! We also ordered Yamandu, which are fried dumplings. Each meal comes with kimchi that doesn't use fish ingredients and a bean spice salad. We had plenty of food, enough to take home a second meal. Herman was very friendly and informative. While we were there, we noticed a few other customers and some takeout orders being prepared. The restaurant may not be easily noticeable from the road, but it’s definitely a hidden gem. There are plenty of options for both vegan preferences and for those with omnivore tastes."
