2023-11-04 01:17:46Absolutely destroyed the food. We got the galbi (must have), seafood pancakes (must have), and bonchon of course. Everything was delicious, can’t wait to return.

2023-05-30 01:42:38First and last. Server was polite. But, there was lipstick on my water cup and I found a strand of hair in the kimchi. That was the welcoming note so, its a no. We stayed because my mom wanted to help the server with tip. He reminded her of one of the grandkids. We came initially, for KB at Azit, across the street. They were good. They were unfortunately closed, open only for dinner at 5.If you stay anyway, bulgogi bibimpap was good, nothing grand to return for but it was good.

2022-06-27 17:52:50Recently, Ive had a lot of friends move to the state and country of Texas! They tell me about the many different reasons why it makes so much sense to move there ( cheaper gas?) and the bonus of getting Real BBQ. For me, Its a No thank you for now! Still love the 🌈 rainbow of people, culture, and FOOD of the Bay!Daol is a comfortable and relaxing homey Korean restaurant in Oakland. Warm tofu soup and sizzling bbq items here. The dolsot bibimbop has beautiful colors and vegetables. A great dish that represents the mix and colors of the Bay.

2022-04-15 04:48:452022.04Been back here two more timesMul naeng myeon (cold noodle) for a warm night hit the spot. The broth was refreshing, loved the delicate slices of radish, apple, and cucumber. I wasnt the biggest fan of the cut of meat they used (fatty ground meat-like), but the seasoning was great. I want to eat this all summer.Someone in reviews recommended the mackerel and tofu soup combo--yesss. Fish flaky and well seasoned, it didnt taste like they slapped a sad frozen fillet onto the grill.Theres something so satisfying about sitting down to Korean food and you get a whole spread of banchan with a wide array of colors and flavor profiles.2021.12So good! Had solo dinner of tofu soup and galbi, and both were seasoned perfectly for my taste. Galbi was meaty and not full of stringy fat, and soup was flavorful without tasting like they dumped in ramen flavor packet--it was still great as leftover the next day.Any time I eat Korean food, the banchan is always the star of the show, and I liked the ones here. Gotta come back for more dishes.

2022-04-22 01:21:20Came on Saturday night past 8PM, modestly busy, wasnt hard to get a table. Was recommended as my friend knew the owners son.The kimchi pancake was pretty decent, definitely tasted better with something heavily savory like the hot pot or maybe bosam.Their jeongol says its for 2 - 3, but honestly, it could feed 4 people easily. Maybe 2 Korean guys who just got out of their 2 year service could finish this in a sitting. Portions were very generous, broth was lightly sweet to offset how much beef we were eating.Service was great, pretty attentive, rarely needed anything more than maybe a soup ladle.

2021-08-09 03:17:06We randomly found this place on Google map, and were super happy that we found it!With 2 adults and two young kids (6 and 3,) we ordered 7 different dishes because we were excited with the variety of dishes they have to offer. And everything tastes so good!! We spent $135 before tips, which we totally think its worth it. The house special, Bossam is worth trying! Galbi was yummy, not overly sweet, soup and Japchae were great. The banchan was yummy! Fish and pancake were also delicious. Bibimbub was also good.

2023-06-17 20:47:07My girlfriend and I LOVE Daol. My girlfriend loves tofu soup and I love to get spicy pork and rice. So we just get a combo and it fills us up perfectly.They also feature our favorite banchan especially compared to other Korean spots nearby.Whether dining in or ordering to go, service never took long.Excellent spot!!

2018-02-09 08:29:41The food was wonderful here. They give a lot of assorted banchans. The place is nice and clean and feels very homey. The servers were very accommodating. We ordered a spicy pork dolsot bibimbap. It was very flavorful and yummy. I especially loved the crunchy rice on the bottom of the pot. It wasnt oily at all. I think it is the best bibimbap around. We also ordered a bulgogi. The meat was very tender and well marinated. Plus, the price is really reasonable for dinner. I would definitely come back again.
