"Until Dae Bak here, baby Miss you, want you, eat you so Until Dae Bak here, baby, yeah Theres a hunger inside I want you to know You are the one And I cant let you go." - Dae Bak parody of "Back Here", BB Mak Shoutout to my buddy & fellow Korean, Chris C, for this little gem. Okay, so technically Im not Korean, but with all the Korean food that I eat, I consider myself an honorary Korean. Of course, I also consider myself an honorary Chinese, honorary Japanese, honorary Lebanese etc. ;p Lunch specials are inexpensive and quite reasonable. I decided upon the spicy beef soup ($6.99)- Preparation H & Tucks Medicated Pads must be hot commodities in Korea, because everyone must have burning bungholes from all the spicy Korean foods ;p A large bowl of tender shredded beef, egg, green onions with glass noodles swimming in a fiery broth. The broth didnt numb the mouth, which is good because I like tasting my food, but caused sweat to bead all around my big dome. My eyes teared, my nose ran & I needed a couple napkins to wipe the perspiration from my face. The soup warmed me from head to toe. Delicious, filling and for not a lot of scratch! Unlimited banchan & rice came with my order. Only 4 banchan options, but they were good Seating is plentiful, with tables in the middle & booths around the perimeter. A chandelier hanging from the ceiling adds a touch of class to this casual restaurant. A flatscreen TV with Korean QVC was on for diners viewing pleasure. I was close to ordering some womens spanks, but couldnt make out the toll free number ;p The wood paneling facade on the walls makes the restaurant seem cylindrical in shape. Service was good, although even though I was the only one dining there at the time, the wait seemed a bit long. Parking is in private lot in a Korean strip mall, with a few dedicated parking stalls at the entrance. Looking for another lunch spot? Dae Bak, baby!. Affordable lunch options of delicious Korean food, closeby to home, are why Im a fan. Lets do lunch! Highly recommend! NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMOMNOMNOM

Ive been looking for a new regular Korean spot since moving to the Los Alamitos area a couple years ago, and my search is finally over. Ive been to Dae Bak several times now, and it has become my go to Korean restaurant. You wont find all you can eat, Sam (lettuce leaves for wraps), or a grill at your table, but they have all the basics Im familiar with, and theyre good. Bibimbap, Korean pancake, daengjang shige (sp?), gamja tang. I havent had a bad dish here yet. Im not sure why, but there are hardly any customers when I eat here, so, as far as I can tell, you shouldnt have to wait long to be seated. The dining area is roomy, comfortable, and clean. Prices are good as well, so you really cant go wrong by coming to Dae Bak if youre in the mood for a good Korean meal.

Consistently great food and service that is friendly and professional if on the slow side. We keep coming back to this local favorite but dont expect fast food and you should be able to satisfy a craving for Korean at a very reasonable price. There is always Korean television on the TV

Really great Korean restaurant. Every food were very delicious. If I have a chance to go there, definitely I will go to there again. If you like Korean food and having visiting around there, you should go there. I want to give 7 stars to the Dae Bak Korean restaurant.

Amazing taste and authentic. I felt joy to write this review. Lived in Los Angeles for good part of my life. Id say this place ranks in the top 10 of all restaurants in L.A. County. Really good food, prepared correctly!
