Had a birthday dinner here and we all thought that the food was so good! The decor has a night theme, with a moon and stars on the wall. There were also bottle caps on the wall where we were sitting. My friend's daughter was hesitant to try the bassam, but she ended up loving it. We also had the fried dumplings and they were nice and crispy. The bulgolgi was flavorful and kimchi jiggae was delicious. Service was also great! For my birthday, they didn't have anything sweet, so they brought a seafood pancake! I had a great time here and have come back another time for late night eats. read more

Came here on a Thursday night around 10am with a party of 3. The restaurant was fairly empty, though it did start to get busy soon after. There was parking available in the plaza as most other businesses there were closed for the day. We ordered the ddukbokki, soy garlic chicken wings, bulgogi and bossam (forgot to take a photo of that one). The ddukbokki and wings were pretty good and flavorful. The bossam was alright, I would have liked it to come with more veggies on the side. The bulgogi was my favorite dish of them all. Very tasty and tender. Service was quick and attentive. Overall I would say it's a good late night spot for Korean food in Convoy. I would come back to try more dishes on the menu. read more

Super good get their pork without the bean paste, didn't need it tbh Amazing soup Chadol pretty spicy and sour, but good over all Quick service and friendly staff It's fairly loud it's like a dim light talkative place, they play a lot of kpop but it's cool Good enough for 2 people not bad like $77 with tip for those 2 items with soju read more

Cheese balls were so yummy, it had like cheddar powder + mozzarella cheese pull Beef brisket grilled with onion and jalapeño, good flavor, spicy, savory, juicy. Came w/ side of rice Spicy seafood soup. The broth was the highlight of the entire meal for me! It was the perfect level of spice, not too much at all and made my tummy warm & happy. It had octopus, mussels, baby shrimp. We added on ramen noodles, this also came w/ side of rice Cozy atmosphere, they play really loud kpop/techno music read more

Dalbam Moon Night - Beef Brisket Cheese Balls Spicy Seafood Soup - Korean Near Me - San Diego, California

My friend and I shared the Bossam, which was tender, flavorful, and well marinated. I just wish it came with a bit more sides; we actually ran out of garlic, jalapeños, and cabbage before even finishing the meat. We also ordered the Chadol Yukgaejang, which was comforting and perfect for a chilly night. A really nice touch was the complimentary corn cheese they brought out. This is a great spot for Korean comfort food, perfect for an anju-style night out with friends to eat, drink, and just hang out. read more

It was ok. Average. Not as many options as other Korean places. We got three sides vs more options at other places. I got the pork belly and cheese and it was good. Had a lot of cheese. Pork belly was flavorful. It started out crispy but with the sauce and all the cheese didn't stay crispy but like I said the flavor was good. The pork dumplings were ok. Fried and not overly greasy. The other options people liked them but there wasn't much of soondubo options etc etc. Service was good, fast and friendly. Small nice little place. read more

We wanted to grab something with soup near Westfield UTC before heading back to LA. We chose this place because the pork belly presentation was amazing on Yelp. I never had Korean marinated pork belly before so why not... When we arrived, the place was pretty empty. I think there was only one party. We were hesitant to enter, but because it looked pretty nice inside, we walked in. Halfway thru our meal, a lot more people came in. When we were done, it was a full house. We ordered 4 items: Kimchi Jjigae $19 - The soup was good, but it was a bit pricey. Chadol Yukgaejang $20 - this soup came with beef briskets, veg, and clear noodles. This one tasted similar to the Kimchi Jjigae, but less spicy. Bossam Pamuchim $26 - this one stole the show for the night. The flavor was immaculate! It was so tender with just the right amount of fats. The sauce was delicious. Would totally get this again. Bulgogi $24 - this was a bit pricey as well. It was also way too sweet. If the sweetness cut down in half, it would be good. Service was ok. A bit slow since there was only one gal..she had to take orders, serve the foods, and take care of the checks. Kinda crazy to have only one staff working in the front on the weekend. Parking avail RR avail read more

food: Bossam (9.5/10) - such a big portion! the pork belly was very tender and had a nice marinated sauce with it. the sauce wasn't overpowering and drenching the pork belly either. it was tasty! loved the banchan and everything else to eat all together in a bite as well. loved the spicy kick from the jalapeños! Chadol Yukgaejang (9/10) a such a shareable portion size and loaded with noodles, meat, and flavor. it's supposed to be spicy but for someone who loves spice i think this was very mild and not that spicy so that's really up to preference. Corn cheese (9/10) - pretty tasty and on the house! sometimes corn cheese separates between the oil or butter but this was made pretty decently. it was cheesy yet not separated. the flavor was nice too Service: The service is pretty helpful. It was my first time and they explained items well and were really nice. Ambiance: The night vibe is definitely a vibe with the decor and dim lit setting. The moon even glows at night. It's a small but casual and chill place to grab korean comfort food. read more

After an EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING experience trying to get to the diner inside the Lafayette Hotel, we were now scrambling to find a late night eatery around 11 PM. We saw that Dalbam Moon Night was open and halfway through our meal we hit last call, so it was cutting it pretty close but we were able to get seated at a table and the place was packed. Late night K food goes hard, especially if you want some nice greasy or junk food-y dishes with some soju or beer. Service was efficient and I like the wooden look with the K pop celebs advertising the alcohol. Classic. For our super late night dinner, we got the: 1) Bulgogi Fries: -Easy to eat and massive amount of food for what you get. In hindsight, probably shouldn't have ordered this since it's a more common dish and fries aren't that good when they go cold and stale. Since we were tourists going home the next day, we couldn't eat the massive amount of leftovers we had from this. RIP. I'll keep this in mind next time. -This comes with crispy fries topped with marinated beef and melted cheese. You get the sweet spicy kick and they don't skimp out on the beef too. Definitely a junky snack food type appetizer making it easy to share especially with how much they give you. 2) Bossam: -Comes with the bossam, lots of jalapenos and garlic, sliced green onions and ssamjang dipping sauce. Nice cold dish to balance out the heavier dishes that we got. 3) Spicy Cheese Samgyupsal: -Comes out sizzling hot with all the cheese on top. It's stir fried pork belly with cheese. Nice spicy, yet sweet kick to it. Loved the crispy bits of the pork bell. Can eat it on its own but definitely tastes better accompanied with rice. We also got a side of rice to go with all of the protein that we ordered and we also got some small kimchi, fishcake, and slaw banchan. Solid Korean drinking and drinking food spot, even if you don't drink like me. Appreciate the generous portions and the later hours here. Not bad. I think you might have to pay for parking but we didn't even see that until we left and we were there super late. Whoopsies. read more

Cold, rainy night and this was the only place that was open late! Parking was interesting - it was a full lot and you have to pay for it through an app/QR code. The restaurant has a free 90 minute parking if you're a patron. It was a cute, yet dark restaurant. Booths were towards the sides with cute stars and a light up moon. Soju bottle caps were wedged in between the walls. The menu was straight forward. We ordered the bossam, bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, and two beers. The bossam was delicious! Marinated and came with garlic cloves, pickled lettuce, onions, and dipping. The kimchi fried rice was a bit soggy, while the bulgogi was okay. We were there for a quick meal, then enjoyed our beers. It's a cute restaurant for a late night meal, but I wouldn't say it's super fancy. read more

Came here for late night eats and the experience did not disappoint. The crowd was very lively and service was attentive. The spicy tofu soup with ramen noodle was my favorite item. Chicken gizzard was tough for my taste. Tteokbokki was the perfect texture, but sauce was definitely on the sweeter end. Overall, great place to eat and drink. I would not visit just for the food. read more

Dalbam Moon Night - Korean Near Me - San Diego, California

This is my first time trying this place. The ambiance was so nice and had kpop music playing in the background. The service was also really good! The person who helped us was super friendly and kept checking in on us. We got the mandu kug, bossam and tofu kimchi. Everything was very delicious and the banchan was good as well. This was my first time trying bossam and I thought it would be a thicker cut but it was still very delicious. I liked how the tofu dish came with both fried tofu and regular tofu. The presentation was nice! Would definitely come back here again for good korean food! read more

Ok... BEST seafood pancake in Convoy. No arguments, no debates, end of discussion lol. My girlfriend and I keep joking about gatekeeping this spot because it's not as crowded as other Convoy restaurants. Their marinated Bossam is unmatched - thick, juicy cuts of pork, pairs great with their dipping sauce, and all the right sides. Perfect with a couple bottles of soju (or 4). Our server and the manager were super friendly and even hooked us up with a free plate of corn cheese. Not sure if it was because we ordered a good amount or if they're just that generous, but either way, it gave us a chance to try the dish. We would def order the corn cheese again next time we come, so I guess it worked! Dalbam is fun and underrated. Great for date night, group hang outs, or just when you need your comfort Korean food fix. read more

I love their bossam here! Sometimes I'll have to ask for more fixings but the marinated pork is so delicious. I've come here multiple times and the food always delivers and the servers have been super friendly. Definitely a new favorite Korean spot on Convoy! A lot of the time, they even hook me up with free corn-cheese which is always nice. I recommend calling ahead of time to gauge the crowd and see how busy it is. Dishes I'd recommend: Bossam Cucumber salad (don't sleep on this) Kimchi fried rice Pork belly stir fry Both yukgaejang soups are nice Their kimchi jjigae is not bad but I still prefer Min Sok, IMO. My sister also enjoyed the beef brisket dish too. read more

I celebrated my birthday 2 years in a row here because the vibes and food does no disappoint! What we ordered: - Intestines hot pot: big enough for 2-3 people, the intestines were super tender and added a nice chewy bite to the overall stew which came with veggies as well as udon noodles - cheesy corn: that cheese pull is amazing - Stir fried gizzard: sautéed in a stone plate with garlic and jalapeños with just salt and pepper makes for a great drinking snack - Cheesy spicy chicken: probably my second favorite dish here where it was the right amount of sweet, spicy, savory with that cheese pull for the perfect bite - Tofu kimchi with pork: my least favorite as the sauce was too sweet and thick. The pork was a bit dry - Jjolmyun: spicy chewy noodles that are cold and refreshing! It has a slight sweetness that's balanced with the spicy that's really delicious Service was great! We really enjoyed the food and drinks in this Korean pub style restaurant read more

Love the vibe. Came here one rainy night with family and the hot food we had offset the cold weather. Being that it's on Convoy, parking is usually a challenge but at least this plaza has a shared lot. Service was prompt. Everything we ordered was good (bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, bossam). No drinks that night but can't wait to try the rest of the menu again. read more

One of my favorite k-bars in San Diego. And the service is so good! They've given a free appetizer the last 2x I've been -- one time it was cheese corn, gyozas another time. And the food is good! Easily shareable. Can't go wrong, and it feels like a "clean" drinking establishment, vs sticky floors/tables... you know what I mean. ;P But Dalbam will be a top go-to for late-night korean food. Yum! read more

This place was absolutely phenomenal! I came in with my wife and my cousin-in-law and we all loved this place. We came hungry and definitely left full, and even had enough leftover to bring home! We ordered the pork belly, bulgogi, tteobokki and sweet cheese chicken wings, every dish we got was above standard and definitely felt like home cooked dishes! They also serve high quality alcoholic beverages. The service was top-notch as well, and the vibe of the overall restaurant felt very warm and homey. Our server was super kind and attentive and was never bothersome at all during our meal, I believe her name was Honoka! Will definitely be coming back again, especially since they are open late :) read more

We ordered Jokbal, Seafood pancake, and Samgyupsal (Pork Belly) - they were all very tasty and delicious! The meat was so tender and juicy. They seasoned the pork well. The sauce for the seafood pancake was perfect. On top of that, the owner gave us cream cheese corn . The service was excellent too! We are definitely going back! read more

Perfect place on a Tuesday late night to satisfy post-concert munchies. The service was top notch and so was the food. We ordered a mix of things and I highly recommend the moon fries and the bulgogi with garlic. Hard to go wrong here in my opinion even if you're coming in blind, perfect for first timers. So much good choices, but sucks there isn't one closer to the Laguna hills. Overall, awesome stuff and would consider going to this place despite the longer drive from my city. read more

Came here with some friends after a long night of practice at around 11pm. They're open late, some days until 1 am, so it's the perfect spot for late night dinners. Korean food is usually quite expensive, but we got our money's worth here. My friend and I shared a Korean Army Stew for $45 - we ate ourselves completely full despite being fairly hungry, and still each had a filled-to-the-brim bowl of leftovers to take home. It came with spam, rice cakes, ramen, onions, mushroom, sausage, cabbage, and more. Our server was super friendly too. She offered to clean one of the nicely decorated booths for us when we walked in, even though there were other empty seats. Perhaps because it was the grand opening for the restaurant, she also offered us a plate of corn cheese on the house. Overall, you really get bang for the buck at this establishment. I'd recommend coming here on a day when you have room in your stomach. read more

When I went here with my uncle and cousin, Dalbam Moon Night was insanely busy. Although it was a Saturday night so that is quite understandable. This time we ordered a new appetizer (at least for us) and I would highly recommend it! It was the crispy fried dumplings. They were piping hot but so delicious. Especially with the dipping sauce they had. The next time we come, I would order this and the seafood pancake-- hands down! Corn cheese tasted less milky n creamy than the first time. It was good with the bulgogi and rice, but got too cold fast even though it was on the hot sizzling plate. We also ordered the cucumber salad which wasn't bad. It was refreshing and different. Great service and ambiance. read more

Came here for a night with the boys for drinks and what our friend called the "Late Night Eats" and it did not disappoint! The vibes are fun for a group just trying to unwind after a long week, cheering to Somaek and ordering A TON of food. The food was so good and we ordered a ton of food that we ran out of area on our table. And the restaurant would drop off some extra dishes for us on the house as well which was really nice! Also met the owner, Sun, out of the restaurant and just chatted it up in my drunken state, he was very friendly and giving some history of his shop. This was a really fun night with friend and would absolutely come back here again for a fun night of drinking and this late night eats! read more

This is a newer late night Korean eatery that I find less busy than other Korean pubs in the Convoy. I came with a friend to share some Korean food, and we were recommended many options from the menu. We ended up receiving a corn cheese from our waitress who was very sweet. What we ordered was the Spicy Cheese Samgyupsal with Chicken. The juicy pieces of chicken came sizzling on a hot plate as did the corn cheese and both were savory and delicious! We ordered some rice on the side and also got a few banchan on the side which I always nibble on. I would definitely recommend it if you're going for a casual laid back meal!

Came here on Sunday evening and we were the first ones to come in so we were sat immediately. I loved the interior of the restaurant. It was decorated very nicely with a night theme. I liked that it was a smaller and more intimate spot to get drinks and food. The girl that served us was super friendly and checked on us to make sure all was good. We tried the tteokbbokki, spicy stir fry pork belly, and corn cheese. All the food was so delicious we couldn't stop talking about it. Hard to choose a favorite from the food but my favorite thing from my experience today has to be the lemon highball.

Great place for late night food and drinks! It was smaller than I expected but that formed a cozy atmosphere while also being lively. Service was decent and friendly. We ordered a Bossam Pamuchim and Kimchi Fried Rice. I really enjoyed the bossam, it was thin and tender and perfect paired with the shredded green onion. The kimchi fried rice was good but could be better - I hope they can add some protein like Spam and more seaweed! It was kind of heavy on the gochujang flavor and could be more kimchi-y instead, but could be personal preference. Would come back to try more! read more

Out of 4 people, all 4 of us were not a fan of this place for food. Parking is limited- nothing new here. Park in the street near by. Got there as soon as they opened on a week night. Wasn't busy and got seated right away. The music was loud, or am I getting old? We can feel the vibrations from the music though... I've got used to it after a while. Good amount of variety in the menu. We've tried bulgogi, jjampongtang, ddukbokki, corn cheese, and dumplings. Out of these items we have tried, corn cheese was the best. Bulgogi- flavor was too sweet for us. Jjampongtang- no spice, no flavor Ddukbokki- sauce was little too watery, Dumpling- nothing special here. We wanted to like this place as it opened recently, and we love Korean food but flavor was lacking all over the place. Side dishes were mediocre. The upside is that they do open later than other restaurants. read more

Cute new Korean restaurant! The decor is very warm and cozy, with lots of wood in the interior. There's also quite a bit of privacy between tables due to the shape of the booths, which was nice. The banchan was good, especially the spicy bean sprouts. When we asked for a refill, we were disappointed to find out they ran out of bean sprouts! The server was super sweet and brought us 3 gyozas on the house. Army Stew: Delicious!! Great portions as well, loved the tofu, rice cakes, spam, and sausages. Wish there was even more noodles! Bossam: Very tasty and had great balance along with the veggies. Kimchi Pancake: Very solid appetizer but felt like it was a little pricey (especially since it's only $1 cheaper than the seafood pancake). read more

It's a true hole-in-the-wall gem where you can kick back, eat, and enjoy a few drinks We ate: - Jokbal $29 - 10/10 Always delicious and flavorful, never dry. Pairs perfectly with the green onion and garlic. - Samgyupsal $19 - 10/10 Juicy grilled pork belly. Always good with some soju to wash down. - Corn cheese $10 - 7/10 Just a basic corn cheese, nothing special, but still good. - Bulgogi fries $16 - 7/10 These are decent but a bit basic; I wish there was a little more meat. Still a good finger food to pair with alcohol. - Steamed sea conch $ (I forgot)- 9/10 Loved this! The sea conch had a clean, umami taste, and the green onions and red sauce added a nice depth. It's similar to a giant clam, hard to describe but worth a try! read more
