Delicious side dishes, piping hot tofu soup, and a perfectly crispy (and enormous) kimchi pancake! Reasonably priced, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. Daol is awesome.
Recently, I've 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, It's 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.
Great place to satisfy your Korean food cravings! Fresh, tasty food and great service.
Came on Saturday night past 8PM, modestly busy, wasn't hard to get a table. Was recommended as my friend knew the owner's son.The kimchi pancake was pretty decent, definitely tasted better with something heavily savory like the hot pot or maybe bosam.Their jeongol says it's 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.
Very good service, large portions of food, more than enough for one person. I had enough for my lunch the next day
Love this restaurant, the food tastes authentic and the service is great. Their lunch specials are massive and comes w soup and a bunch of side dishes/Banchan!
2022.04Been 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 wasn't 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 didn't taste like they slapped a sad frozen fillet onto the grill.There's 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.
Amazing food. Love the aesthetic and attention to detail. Quality and authentic food. Immigrant owned!!!
Some day I'll stop texting friends with food pr0n from this place, but I'll never get over what a great deal it is.
All the food is filling, healthy and enjoy the banchan as well as great service whenever I go.
