Reviews for Dae Bak in Philadelphia, PA
Nice friendly server, he even made changes to our order and added cheese topping to the spicy chicken. It was awesome!... Definitely recommend it! Read more
Good food and good service! Our group of 4 ordered the spicy rice cakes with cheese (ddukbokki), kimchi fried rice, spicy cold... noodles (bibim naengmyeon), and jjajangmyeon. The variety of banchan was a bit limited, but all of our dishes came outdelicious! Our waiter was also extremely attentive in replenishing our water on this very hot day. I only wish that the kitchenhad made a few cuts of my cold noodles before serving it to me (as is sometimes customary) so that I would have a little lesstrouble eating the long strands of springy noodles. Nevertheless, we had a great meal! Read more
Food was great. I got the spicy rice cakes and bulgogi bibimbap. Both were amazing. The sauce for the rice cakes isn't the usual... spicy rice cake sauce, more like a sweet chili flavor? But tastes amazing still! Read more
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff! The side dishes were just 4 items but they were very tasty. Kimchi was crunchy and very fresh!... Jam bong and kal kok su was delicious! Read more
The haemul pajeon is delicious. The japchae was pretty good, a bit too sweet for my taste. The jajangmyeon tasted pretty good... but was cold; I?m not sure if it?s meant to be served cold but the two times I had it at two different H-Marts, it was servedwarm/hot. I would have preferred it hot; not sure if they will heat it up if requested? Jajangmyeon did not come with anybanchan/sides like yellow radish; not sure if it can be requested. I thought the tteokbokki and jokbal were just okay, I mightnot like those dishes in general. My family seemed to like the tteokbokki, haemul pajeon, jajangmyeon, and japchae (note: theseare spelled alternatively on their menu). The sauce for the jokbal was too little, also not sure if they add more upon request.The place was clean and had a nice atmosphere; good service; music playing on TV. Overall, enjoyable meal; some of the pricesseemed higher than other places but their portions are bigger and I think meant to serve 1-2. Read more
The food was great. Their cold noodles (naengmyeon) was amazing. The servers were very attentive, but we waited for more than... half an hour for our first dish. Hopefully this can be improved somehow. Read more
Been here many times and it is one of my favorite Korean food,Forgot to write a review after coming here .This place has high... quality Korean staple food. Seafood pancake is crispy and delicious.the various small complimentary dishes with any Korean mealis a huge bonus. Fair pricing. Fast and friendly service. Read more
After reading the reviews, perhaps I was expecting a bit more or perhaps I?m a bit spoiled by the Korean food in Rochester, NY... and NYC. The banchan was particularly disappointing- the potatoes were both dry and undercooked. The kimchi was very good.The bibimbap was good, however they were a bit stingy on the meat. Nothing all that offensive? very average. The server wasquick and the food came out quickly. Also a bit pricy? especially for this quality of Korean food. Read more
