Service was great, food was good but nothing special. We had the chicken and was disappointed of how bland it was. I was expecting more items on the menu and most of all a more flavor.
Stopped by on a Saturday night and it wasn't crowded. We ordered the someori gukbap, budaejjigae, and chicken wings and honestly everything was delicious! The someori gukbap had a clear, light broth that was so comforting and warming. The budaejjigae was super hearty a bit spicy with tons of meat and ramen. The chicken wings were extra crispy and came with a sweet spicy sauce. The staff was also incredibly kind and welcoming. This is the perfect spot for the cold weather and to catch up with some friends. I'd 100% come back!
Really good army stew with the best price in the area! Bring a couple of friends. One stew could feed 3 people very comfortably, maybe even 4. The service was a little slow but they looked busy, so it's not an issue. We were happy to sit and enjoy ourselves, I just wouldn't come if you're in a rush or have a time limit. Inside is neat and clean and feels like an authentic Korean bar!
Quick service! AMAZING food! The side dishes were very fresh. Still craving the army stew days later! We couldn't finish the stew with just us two and it tasted just as good when we brought it home for leftovers.
Decent Korean food, but slow service. It took a while for us to be seated, since there were only 1 or 2 servers working on a Saturday night. We ordered the LA Galbi and the seafood tofu stew. We had the option to cook the galbi ourselves or have them cook it in the back. We chose to have them cook it. The galbi was good, but could have used a little more marinade. Banchan wasn't very fresh and the stew was a little bland.
Dad bak is a diamond in the rough! A very surprising restaurant you wouldn't expect. A friendly staff who remembered us right away but second trip and they knew my wife's drink order! Color my impressed with the artistic walls. They give you markers, pens, or pencils to leave your stamp on their walls. The food is amazing! Everything you eat will leave your tastebuds tingling for your next visit. The price is worth for some tasty home Korean cooking. And we recommend the fried chicken!!
When you walk into Dae Bak, you could think any of these things and be justified: "Why is there a beer pong table?" "Was this a Roman bath house?" "Did this used to be an Olive Garden?" "Is this a restaurant or a bar?" "Naw, maybe this was a pool hall.""Why is it so dark in here?" And then, you'll get your hot pot of boiling Korean food, and you'll be like "Whatever this place is, it's aight with me." AND you'll be happy that you found one of the few Korean places in the Denver area that's open late. With K-Pop playing, you'll check out the menu that has a lot of Korean staples like dduk bokki, jjam bbong, kimchi jun, soon dubu, and more. We got the jjam bbong hot pot, which was plenty of food for two people and had a surprising amount of crab in it. The flavor was good, and it was kind of the best kind of meal on a cold day, even if the JB doesn't quite get to the delish level of Yong Gung, it was still good. We wanted to get the dduk bokki, but the price was highway robbery for DB. This isn't a place for a romantic dinner, as you'll have a bunch of Korean dudes drinking and laughing the night away, but that's ok! If you don't need a restaurant to be fancy, and you don't mind eating a full-on dinner in a place that looks like it should only be serving mozzarella sticks and nachos, Dae Bak has a lot to offer that's a nice change of pace when you're looking for a big ole' hot pot of Korea, but you can only get to Aurora.
Another impromptu Dinner evening with my friend, who is willing to drive from Lone Tree just to have her Korean Dinner fix. Since this establishment opened a few weeks ago, I decide to bring my friend here. This establishment used to be some restaurant in which I cannot recall the name or the cuisine that they offer. In terms of the décor its weird. With those Roman Columns and graffiti that you can doodle, if you want... In terms of the Menu, they offer several variety. We ordered and shared the following items : * Ttuk-Bokki ($19.99) * Ai-Tang (Fish Roe Soup) ($14.99) * LA Galbi ($25.99) * Extra Noodles ($2) Since I don't feel like cooking at our table, I ask the kitchen to cook the LA Galbi. For now, its 3 stars... Limited options of bachan given to our table. First and foremost the Ttuk-Bokki is a little on a sweeter side for my palate. In the Ttuk-Bokki there are plenty of rice cakes. They also include the glass noodles at the bottom of the Ttuk-Bokki broth, which was a surprised for my friend, and she likes it a lot. She even ask the staff, if we could have more Glass Noodles, and he obliged. Yes you have to pay extra for those additional Glass Noodles. In the Ttuk-Bokki they include 2 hard boiled eggs. For this Ttuk-Bokki, PORTION is generous, you can feed like 4 people for this dish alone. The Fish Roe are huge and they do not skimp the portion of those. On top of the Fish Roe soup, they put big slices of Tofu. The taste of the soup is doable. Maybe next time, I will ask if they could make this more spicier etc. The LA Galbi is doable. I like it, though its not mind blowing LA Galbi. At least another restaurant I can find LA Galbi in which they don't mind cooking it in their kitchen. Sometimes, I would leave the cooking for the kitchen to do, rather than I do the cooking. In terms of service, they are OK. May return when needed though I cannot deny there are other items in their menu that peek my interest. This recent visit was on a Friday evening sometime at the end of October 2017. By the time we finished our Dinner many more patrons dining in. Plenty left-overs especially for the Ttuk-Bokki. DAE BAK 2648 S Parker Road, UNIT 11 Aurora, CO 80014 Tel : (720)-328-9328
Great late night hang out spot with delicious Korean bar food. My friend introduced me to this bar and grill, and I was delightfully surprised by how crispy and tangy their sauces, fried chicken was. Our food came with sides of pickled goodies that made the entrees taste even better. The service is fast, and the food came out in a timely manner. The fried chicken is freshly fried, so you don't have to worry about stale chicken. Check them out if you're looking for a late night excursion!
The Bulgogi was amazing! I came with my partner around 4pm on a Saturday and we were the only people there. Most of the menu was in Korean with some items also in English but the waitress explained everything on the menu and told us a lot of items off the menu as well. We tried to order two bulgogi plates and a soup but the waitress told us that was too much food so we both got the bulgogi plate. He waitress' recommendation was a good one as the bulgogi plate was huge! I'm a big guy and I eat a lot and I couldn't finish the plate of bulgogi, rice, and cabbage salad. The meal also came with several appetizers including kimchi, radish, and spicy bean sprouts. My partner has a nut allergy and they were careful to let us know what had or didn't have nuts. Everyone was very friendly and the food was wonderful. I will be coming back soon!

I've see Dae Bak plenty of times but I thought it was another place that served Korean pub food. I saw a clip for it during MHAFW and that Momma Song is behind it, I had to come and support. Needless to say, I am adding Dae Bak to my Korean food rotation. The interior is very pub like atmosphere. If you're lucky, you can be seated in like a private booth area which is really nice. They were actually quite busy when we went. Props to the waitress handling the floor on her own during lunchtime on a Saturday. The food was very good. The MHAFW special was such a good deal: japchae, wings, and tteokboki for $20. We also ordered the bulgogi jeongol which tasted like sukiyaki. It was so good and shareable between 4 people. There was so much meat in the dish so $45 was worth your money. I also ordered the someori gukbap since I love a good Korean soup. Super flavorful. The wings were so good. They have such a nice crunch that's hard to find. Definitely will be back to try the budaejigae. read more

Went here for the last day of Mile High Asian Food Week. In regards to everything, we got: japchae, cheesy tteokbokki, 6 pc fried chicken, and yukgaejang. The food definitely tastes homemade and I enjoyed it, but my mom's cooking still has my heart. My favorite part was the yukgaejang because it was loaded with meat! The japchae was pretty standard, the tteokbokki was a great texture, the chicken was crispy but not as light as I had hoped. We were here at 8 PM on a Sunday night. It wasn't very busy and service was fast. For a while, we were the only ones there. It's fun in there with writing everyone on the walls and tarp that is hung up/ I definitely think this could be a fun place to come and drink while hanging out with friends. Would come back. read more

Apparently the Dae Bak menu was condensed recently, but I love the small number of options. I came here with my friend, and we each ordered soup then chicken wings to share. I got the Dogani Tang (beef tendon) and she got the Yukgae Jang (spicy shredded beef). Both broths were phenomenal. Loved the portion of tendon. The sides (kimchi, radish, etc.) were delicious. The whole experience felt authentic, especially after the same friend and I were in Korea two years ago. I'd love to try some of the other soups in the future - perfect for cold nights. Oh and don't forget Makgeolli for the table! I like the original draft option they sometimes have. read more

I am truly shocked how bad the food is here. I rarely throw out the 1 star reviews... but this place deserves it based on food. The staff was friendly. The budae Jjigae was like a bowl of flavorless salt.. this is a dish that is usually impossible to screw up. The bulgogi was tough and really chewy. Lacked any flavor. They must have cooked on a crowded pan where the meat just steams and doesn't get a chance to carmelize. Rookie mistake by the kitchen. On top of all this... poor service... they didn't give us rice... had to ask twice. I will never go back... and do not recommend it. Bitten by Yelp reviews yet again. Clearly folks who have no idea what good food tastes like. This why you can't trust positive reviews on yelp. read more

Very cool place, it's a total hole in the wall, but I love that about these kind of restaurants. It's got a unique ambiance to it that you don't really see in Denver and throws you off when you first come in. The waitress is very pleasant and enjoyable, she made sure we were happy with what we got! And served us very well at that. They have the BEST Korean fried chicken. Other places are sorta meh but not here. They'll bring out everything for the bbq. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try the soups. But from the looks of it, it seems like I'll be coming back as a regular :) thank you for being amazing to my family and I! read more
First time here, of the wide selection of korean bbq this was pretty good. Ive been to may of them and each have a unique dish or way of serving. A this one was very good. Fresh sides and nice and hot garlic and peppers. We ordered the fried chicken and kalbie ribs, tons of beer and sojo. All of it was great! And great service. read more
Flew in from Baltimore and needed that comfort food asap. This honestly hit home with beef broth soup and chicken wings. The soup was really meaty and flavorful - definitely packed with enough beef. The chicken wings were crispy and made me content. Solid family owned restaurant read more
This place is a freaking hidden gem... I at least feel like it is, being that it only has 14 reviews. I'm a little perplexed... does no one know about this place? If you don't, you should. Finished work around 10 and really wanted any kind of Asian food. This was pretty much the only place open on a Sunday night. Last call for food is at midnight and they close at 1. Places open late = super convenient!! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is pretty big. Looks like a great place to throwback some soju and have a great time! We were greeted and seated right away. When we first looked at the menu, I was thinking everything seemed pretty expensive, but then I realized most of the items are family style. And thank god I realized that before we ordered (haha). We got the seafood hot pot and the calamari. Seafood hot pot is HUGE! My boyfriend and I barely finished half of it. We probably didn't need to order the calamari haha. It was so delicious with authentic Korean tastes. It was so spicy, but so tasty. It had lots of fresh vegetables and plenty of seafood including parts of a crab! The calamari was good, but a little bland. It was okay though because the sauce was flavorful. The service was really great! Super friendly and checked on us frequently to make sure we were okay. I liked the atmosphere of the place. Cute drawings everywhere. I will definitely be back and I'm coming with some friends to enjoy the soju : ) read more

We were here late at night on our road trip to Michigan. We got the galbi. . The food was medium warm and the banchan was uninspiring. We did not get to grill our food . Spent $50 on 1 dish. read more

This was my second time he's really cute and I was not disappointed! My friend ordered the beef bulogi and I order the half-and-half chicken. The waitress was kind however seemed to be extremely preoccupied with everything else, even though there were only 2 tables besides our own. The other tables were clearly her friends, which we had no problem with. However we needed water refills which we never received after pressing our table button and trying to capture someone's attention. The food took quite a bit longer then expected, but when received was delicious. My friend was able to eat his entire beef meal however the chicken consisted of 8 medium breasts and I had quite a bit of left overs! No complaints there! The most frustrating thing was getting the check, this took over half an hour! The inside was nicely decorated and had a fun wall where patrons drew and wrote all over, definitely a good place to enjoy a meal with a group of people. While our experience was not top notch I would certainly come again and hope for a little better dining experience! read more

There was only 1 server but he did a good job with 4 other tables plus ours. He asked if we needed stuff, filled our waters. Although the fried chicken took 30 minutes because it is cooked fresh to order, it was worth the wait. Chicken was hot and juicy, not dry or sitting out. Corn cheese was ok, mandoo was okay. The cute older lady grandma asked if we enjoyed our food and I said we did. For $30+, not bad. read more

Extremely nice hosts and servers! They are constantly on the go, making sure their guests are good on water and whatever else they may need. Can also draw on their wall to if you want to! Great food as well, typical korean options available but you can never go wrong with their korean fried chicken read more
