This was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had at a Korean restaurant…read more The service was incredibly slow, but the biggest issue was that the staff completely forgot to place our order. After waiting an unusually long time, we finally asked about our food and only then discovered that our order had never been entered. As a result, we wasted nearly two hours of our time. What made the experience even more frustrating was that they did not serve banchan or rice while we were waiting. In Korean restaurants, it is common courtesy to provide banchan and rice so customers have something to enjoy before the main dishes arrive. Instead, we sat there with nothing. It honestly felt like they were trying to avoid refilling the unlimited banchan rather than taking care of their customers. The food itself was only average and certainly not worth the excessive wait. As a Korean, I am very familiar with Korean food and the level of hospitality that customers should expect. Good Korean restaurants make guests feel welcome even when the kitchen is busy. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. Mistakes happen, but how a restaurant handles those mistakes says a lot about how much they value their customers. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

But I was disappointed at the Bossom and pork bone soup quality, the bossom was more like pork than bacon with a mix of fat and meat and also the pork bone soup had no pork bone in it.

The potato was the star of the show and perfectly soft and just the right amount of flavoring and slight sweetness. The seaweed Was well seasoned and slightly vinegary to help cut any of the heavy feeling of the broths we ordered. The seollungtang was delicious! THey season it beforehand which I have not experienced before, but they season it well. The broth was rich and the meat was soft. It also comes with glass noodles which has a great chewy texture. The galbitang was just okay. It didn't taste like the usual one I eat, and the galbi had a strange texture. I wonder if it was frozen and then cooked. And it had a slightly unpleasant taste to it-- in Korean it's " 고기 잡내가 나요" -- like an unpleasant meaty/gamey taste. I also found a hair in the broth but it was towards the bottom when I are most of it. Overall, I would come back for the selongtang!

Don't get me wrong, the food is good here. I ordered the gamjutang and seafood pancake. Having seen a recent post on Instagram and reading the reviews, I thought I finally found a match to my favorite gamjutang (from Damso), and didn't have to travel all the way downtown. Unfortunately, Damso is yet to be beat. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the gamjutang here, but it's lacking. The bones barely had any meat to them, and it just lacked spice/onions. The bowl of rice they gave you was on the smaller side as well. The seafood pancake seems to have skyrocketed in price too. From looking at Google reviews of the picture of the menu, it seems the price increased by $10; it's now closer to $30. Anyways, what really disappointed me wasn't the food. It was the service. I came in shortly after 6:40pm on a Thursday. The first room was booked up, so the gentleman took me to the side room. It was a bit odd, as I was the only one in that room the entire time I was there (2 hours). I wouldn't be so annoyed if it wasn't the fact that barely anyone checked up on me. Initially in the first hour, they were still attentive; then after the food arrived, they forgot about me. I kept thinking surely, someone would check up on me from time to time; perhaps to refill my water, but then 30 minutes passed, then an hour. Finally after so long my server showed up again; I have no idea where she disappeared to. I quickly asked for the bill and packed up what I couldn't finish and left. I'm still willing to give this place a second chance, but they need to be more attentive next time. Overall the food was good, though lacking in some areas. In the end, I'll still recommend this restaurant if your in the area and want some good Korean food.

She recommended the combo which was a hot plate of chicken, pork, potatoes, rice cakes, cabbage, with corn, cheese and eggs and sides of seaweed, kimchi, sprouts, and sweet potato and white rice-it was very filling and perfect.

I'll admit it: when I'm looking for Korean food, I don't usually go off the beaten path…read more There's a reason for that. Korean food is one of those cuisines where I've always subscribed to a simple theory: if Koreans aren't eating there, why should I? You can dress up a restaurant, put some Korean words on the menu and serve kimchi with just about anything, but eventually somebody has to judge the food. And Koreans, bless them, are not exactly known for suffering quietly through mediocre kimchi. So imagine my surprise when a little Korean restaurant in the middle of Richmond, BC, actually delivers. Daan is good. Properly good. And no, this isn't the place for the ubiquitous Korean BBQ experience that seems to have taken over the culinary landscape. No sizzling tabletop grills, no elaborate choreography, no fifteen-minute explanation of which piece of meat you're supposed to cook first. Daan is for something much more important: the Korean food you actually want when you're hungry and a little homesick for the food you grew up with. This is comfort food. The stews. The noodles. The hot-plate bulgogi. The stuff that arrives at the table steaming, fragrant and unapologetically familiar. The japchae is a definite yes. The bulgogi is worth ordering. And the galbi hits that sweet spot between substantial and satisfying--the kind of meal that reminds you why Korean food became a comfort food in the first place. There is one notable disappointment: the gamjatang, or pork bone stew. And that's a bit of a shame, because a great gamjatang can be the very definition of Korean soul food. Here, it just doesn't quite get there. So skip it and spend your calories elsewhere. Prices are pretty much what you'd expect in Vancouver--roughly ten percent more than Toronto, give or take. Then again, they don't hit you with PST on restaurant food, so by the time the bill arrives, we're more or less even. What I really like about Daan, though, is that it doesn't seem desperate to be anything other than a Korean restaurant. And in a city where Korean food can sometimes mean driving to Kingsway in Burnaby, heading all the way out to Coquitlam, or joining the latest Korean BBQ craze, there's something wonderfully satisfying about finding a place in Richmond that quietly gets the assignment. You want your kimchi fix? You shouldn't have to cross the Lower Mainland. Daan is proof that sometimes the little restaurant in the middle of nowhere is exactly where you should have been looking. Definitely recommended. Just don't order the gamjatang. Cheers!!!

This is a good idea for the customers although the rest of the customers would prefer do it for themselves. I can see the restaurant was still busy at 9:00 pm and there were pickup orders from the customer and delivery guy came and gone The food is always good and expect spicy and expect hot and spicy on Korean dish. The service is great too because we have asked for help for the boxes and extra sauces for our leftovers. The waitress just gave us the new boxes of the different kinds of sauce that are prepared for the pickup order use. We are so touchy that asking to ourselves that we are not always going to this restaurant and all we can remember that we gave the red pocket to the same two waitress. We don't think the waitresses would remember this little extra cash in our red pocket. We just have to make the comment that this restaurant provides the good service to the customers
