This place was amazing! Loved the service and food. The waiter was so kind, always rechecking our table for drink refills etc. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to try duck, as it was my first time, and chose this place which I wouldn't have changed. In my experience, it was very quiet and peaceful, with other customers having conversations, and a small quiet T.V. In the back playing baseball :). Very respectful, mannered people everywhere as well. I ordered smoked duck, $125. Though it is pricey, it is a lot of food, 2-4 people able to be fed. The flavor was rich and flavorful, especially pared with the sides that come along: spicy and sweet! Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to dine at, and I will definitely be revisiting! 5/5 stars! read more

Dha Rae Ok - Roasted duck ( ~half of the original portion cooking than what was given. Originally more meat including all) - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was looking thru the Michelin Guide at their recommended Korean restaurants and found this place! I'm glad I did. I ordered the Roast Duck when I booked my reservation 24 hours prior. I'm glad I did! It was tender, moist, not overly oily, and the dipping sauce flavor was super delicious. These are shareable entrees and the duck alone fed 4 adults quite well. We also ordered the Ribeye and I was pleasantly surprised when the staff actually grilled it at the table for us because they got the timing just right for perfect flavor. There was a really delicious assortment of Banchan (side dishes) that are included with your meal. I tried the Makgeolli (Korean fizzy rice wine), it was the best I have had to date. Other chose the Soju and really liked it too! Overall, the dining and beverages made for a wonderful time and I'm very happy to have made the Hour drive to get there. read more

Came here because a friend raved out some roasted duck. Called in 3-4 hours in advance and was immediately served once we had arrived with our reso. Between the 3 of us we shared one order of duck and felt it was a sufficient amount of food. The herbs and seeds that they used to cook the duck in was very unique. The sweet potato inside was absolutely delicious. Service was very strong as they did cut the duck up table side. Overall felt it was just a good experience but not life changing given the cost of the meal being $120+ for one dish. read more

I've seen the roasted duck on social media and its always looked amazing, but after having the dish, my only thoughts are that it is okay and boring. We ordered just the roast duck for a table of 3. A staff member broke down the duck for us which resulted in three small plates of food with some leftover. In terms of taste, it was okay. The meal felt clean and healthy, purely the taste of raw ingredients with little additional seasoning. But usually, with dishes with little seasoning, the quality of ingredients will shine; the ingredients in this dish didn't feel quality, it was just okay. I also was not a fan of the roasted duck since the texture was almost pasty due to the way duck meat feels when it becomes super tender. And for $130, I don't think this meal was worth the price. I wouldn't come back to try this. I would recommend getting their other items if you do plan on coming here. read more

We came for the famous roasted duck - you know, the one that earned them a Michelin Bib Gourmand - so of course we went all in. Tip: you have to pre-order it a day ahead, because it takes 4 hours to prep! When it arrived, it definitely made an impression: a whole roasted duck stuffed with rice, mung bean, nuts, and seeds. Looks amazing, but it didn't quite deliver on taste. The duck leaned very lean. Not much richness or depth of flavor. Some bites were tender, others a bit dry. Overall, it just felt like it was missing that bold, crave-worthy "mmph," especially for a $125 centerpiece. They do serve it with sauces and ban chan on the side, which help, but we found ourselves wishing the duck could stand stronger on its own. Highlight of the night? Sharing some with the curious table next to us who had been eyeing it the whole time. Their verdict: "Wow, that tastes healthy." That pretty much nailed it. Looking back, I think we would've enjoyed the smoked duck more. It looked fattier, juicier, and indulgent. Plus, cooking it on a tabletop grill sounds like a much more fun and interactive experience. That said, service was excellent. Super warm and welcoming. Our server went above and beyond, breaking down the duck and plating perfect little bites for us so we could try everything. The space itself looked unassuming from the outside, but inside it felt like a solid spot for group dinners, family gatherings, or just kicking back with drinks and friends. Bonus points for valet parking in the back. Would I come back? Yes, but next time, I'm skipping the roasted duck. read more

My friend placed a reservation for the roasted duck a day in advance. The day came, and we arrived around 5pm for dinner when the restaurant had an ample amount of seating. The ladies in charge were full of energy and provided the hospitality of serving each plate, dividing up the portions with speed and fervor while sometimes making a mess. The roasted duck was unwrapped and revealed to be cooked with wild purple rice, sweet potato, and edible seeds (pumpkin?). Mildly flavored with mostly a smokiness to it, the meat is succulent with the fats adding a hit of richness. Otherwise, yes it does taste lacking something. Nothing sprinkling a generous portion of salt won't fix I guess, which is true of other Korean spots serving soups where you'd season to taste. Other dishes we ordered included the yukhoe (beef tartare) which had slices of pear, raw egg, sesame seeds, and spring onions. Refreshing, but definitely not for everyone. The rib soup was rich and tasty, worth trying and sharing with the table. Overall, not sure if it's worth the price but we had a good time and were stuffed. read more

Dha Rae Ok - Roasted duck - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

On our last visit to Los Angeles we got to try the Michelin recommended Dha Rae Ok in Koreantown. Dha Rae Ok specializes in Korean style duck. We had a party of 9 so we got to try all thee of the duck preparations. You n ed to order in advance for the Roasted Duck. The other two was the smoked duck and the sliced duck barbecued on the grill. Out of the three styles the smoked duck was excellent much like a Taiwanese style. The Roast Duck had a rice stuffing and was just ok. The sliced on the grill was good. The other Korean dishes were excellent including their raw beef tartare and beef tripe casserole. Beers and soju are available. Service was excellent with staff helping you grill your meats. The meal itself was good 4.5 stars. The interior decor is out of the 80's KBBQ and needs some updating. Good that they have valet parking in the rear since street parking is impossible. read more

Finally got to try the famous Dha Rae Ok. The place is shabbier than I thought it would be, very old looking establishment in a janky side of ktown. The duck is really bomb though. A bit pricey, but the kbbq duck is a real must try. The intestine here is actually good for kbbq too. Usually it's way too oily and overwhelming, but they really know how to prepare it here. read more

Came here for dinner w 4 friends and everything was so good. The duck is high quality, I've honestly never had duck like this before! We got 2 portions of the sliced duck and the fried rice came as complimentary. We also ordered the smoked duck and the large intestines. My favorite was the sliced duck. It smells amazing and tastes best when it's cooked just right, don't let it get too crispy. The smoked duck was great too, especially when the skin gets a little crispy. Same with the intestines, super clean, no bad smell at all, and so good when it's slightly crispy. Service was attentive and they checked on us and helped cook. It is a bit pricey tho but definitely worth it for the quality. Would come back for sure. read more

We celebrated my cousins graduation from music school here at Dha rae ok. It is just a few minutes' walk from the Galleria in K-Town, and while parking can be tough in the area, they offer valet parking for a small fee, which is a huge plus. Inside, you get a diner-like vibe with seating, and the staff was kind. The menu centers around duck, and we pre-ordered their signature 4-hour roasted duck--tender, cooked with sticky purple rice inside, and absolutely worth it. I did wish for a bit more flavor from the duck itself, though the tenderness was perfect. We also had a ribeye for our group of four. The meat quality was great, but there was confusion on timing--once the waitress flipped it, we didn't know if we should handle it or wait, and it ended up slightly overcooked. Overall, though, the food was good, and the experience was enjoyable, especially for duck lovers!" read more

What We Ordered - Roasted Duck $130 - Sliced Duck $46 - Kimchi Fried Rice $19 My friend and I saw videos of their roasted duck. It looked appetizing but felt a bit bland for our taste (and the price). Their sliced duck was very good! We wished there was more of that than the 1 plate. Kimchi Fried Rice was very tasty as well but it came out last so we were already half way done with the sticky rice inside the roasted duck. Will come back to try the Smoked Duck when we feel like splurging. read more

We enjoyed the smoked duck a lot. The roasted duck however was rather bland, the meat was too tender for my taste, the stuffing was good but not amazing. The noodle soup that came with it counteracted a bit of the blandness. So for the price, you can skip it. The kimchi fried rice was made with the purple rice and was amazing. The bonchon was rather tasty especially the fresh salad. read more

Service is 10/10 as the staff is really attentive and also cooks the meat for you. Keep in mind you need to call in advance for the roasted duck/stuffed duck. For the grilled duck, my group thought it was just ok. It's really high quality for sure but doesn't have much flavor but the good thing is, a serving can be shared across multiple people. It also comes with a noodle soup after! Worth trying once. read more

I came here on a Tuesday evening. There is a private lot to park, but it costs $4 because it's valet. The place is casual and has booths to sit at with a stove at each table. We were seated quickly and ordered right away. We had smoked duck which came with many small side dishes and a spicy duck noodle soup. They also served is a special cold tea in lieu of water which was refreshing. The server cooked our food for us and told us how to eat it. I wonder if this would happen during a busy time because I was thankful for the help. Overall, I enjoyed the service and the food. I would go back and try something different next time. read more

Dha Rae Ok - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I got the famous clay pot roasted duck (which you have to pre-order by the way) and it was worth the hype and effort. They cook the duck stuffed with rice, dried fruits, nuts, and seeds fully encased in a clay pot for hours. The duck is crispy on the outside and flaky and moist on the inside. The duck is good on its own but also with the sauces and salt they give. The rice might have even been better than the duck. It was so flavorful and very sticky which was a satisfying consistency at least for me. I went with three people and we almost finished it. You may be able to do it with four. The price is actually quite reasonable when it is split up especially considering the quality and quantity. The staff does not force you out and keep to their business. read more

I am a super fan of duck, but somehow I missed this restaurant until now. At $130, the yellow clay roasted duck (황토오리구이) is more of a one time experience in the US, but it did make me want to fly to Korea and eat it at a bunch of different restaurants to compare. It's still an indulgence there, but at least it's way less expensive ($50 total). If you are looking for a rich, intensely flavored French style duck, consider trying the pressed duck prepared 3 ways at Pasjoli - which I deeply regret not eating again back when it was $80 and not $350. *This* duck is designed for health nuts like me, with medicinal herbs, nutrient packed ingredients, and minimal seasoning. The meat is extremely tender and falls off the bone. Because it's wrapped in a cloth before being placed in the clay pot, the oil has drained out so it's light and has a gentle roasted flavor, blending easily with the stuffing of glutinous rice, pepinos, gingko nuts, sweet potato, etc. It's served with two salads (lettuce, seasoned chives) and various banchan. You can also eat the duck with the chives salad or the mildly spicy dipping sauce. I'll be back to try the smoked duck and the regular grilled duck slices. Call to make a reservation a day in advance, since it takes 4h to cook so it can't be ordered the day of. You can order up to 10 at once (if you are feeling baller). Overall the restaurant has a relaxed homey vibe. There are comfortable wide booths in the restaurant along with the requisite ventilation for the table grills and the servers are pleasant. Parking in the lot behind the restaurant is $5 at dinner, free at lunch. read more

This is a ducking good time if you haven't been before. Apparently a Michelin guide restaurant (though not advertised), you come here for duck. Plain and simple. Whatever kind of duck you want is up to you but certain duck orders require ordering ahead of time. Anyway, they will grill the duck and you just eat it all up. It's seasoned well, it's juicy, and it's delicious. Anyway, that's all there is to it, good duck, not much else to it! read more

This place only does duck, and you definitely need to try it at least once. I reserved the special a day in advance, the baked duck with rice inside, and the rice was honestly hella good. So many textures going on with different grains, seeds, and spices, and it all worked together really well. The duck itself was solid, but that rice was something else. The staff was super friendly and made the experience even better. Portion-wise, it's a lot for two people. Three feels like the right number. A lot of tables around us were barbequing, so that's next on my list. Service: Super friendly and welcoming Food/Drinks: Excellent duck, unbelievable rice with complex textures, large portions Ambiance: Casual Korean restaurant setting 9/10 Unique duck-focused spot with standout rice that's worth planning ahead for read more

If you're looking for a KBBQ experience that goes beyond the usual brisket-and-pork-belly lineup, this spot is an absolute gem. Specializing in duck, they've turned what could be a niche protein into the star of the show. The duck arrives sizzling on the grill with just the right amount of seasoning -- smoky, tender, and rich without being heavy. Each cut has its own character, from the crispy skin that crackles with flavor to the lean slices that soak up the marinades perfectly. And the banchan? Bright, plentiful, and constantly refreshed, balancing the richness of the meat with tangy, spicy, and crunchy bites. Service is attentive in that classic K-Town way: efficient, quick with grill changes, and genuinely eager to make sure you're having the best experience. The staff gave us great tips on how to wrap the duck in perilla leaves with garlic, ssamjang, and a touch of kimchi -- absolute perfection in one bite. The atmosphere is lively, with the buzz of conversations and the comforting aroma of grills firing at every table. It's exactly the kind of place you bring friends when you want a memorable night out with food that feels both indulgent and unique. Pro tip: order the duck three ways if they offer it -- marinated, smoked, and plain. It's the best way to appreciate the full spectrum of flavors. Koreatown is full of great BBQ, but this place stands out by making duck the main character. If you think you've "done" KBBQ already, come here and let them change your mind. read more

This owner knows how to do business. He is probably the friendliest most involved owner i've met to date. We weren't big fans of the dry pot roast duck but know that it is a delicacy!

Unfortunately I wasn't able to try their Roasted Duck (since you have to call ahead of time and I couldn't find a working phone number), but their Smoked Duck was very satisfying. The Duck is so tender and juicy! This is the perfect place if you're looking for a change from typical Korean BBQ! read more

Parking: they have a parking lot in the rear. Street parking seemed fine in this part of Ktown too. Atmosphere: typical old school Korean eatery Service: you have to press the button for service. Nobody is coming if you don't. Food: smoked duck was delicious. Come in a group because the portions are huge. Overall, if you are thinking of ordering the roast or boiled duck, those need to be ordered hours in advance. The smoked duck is the only option that's readily available, but I think is the tastier one. read more

We came to Dha Rae Oak on a Friday evening and were lucky to be seated right away. Valet parking in the back was a convenient bonus. We ordered the sliced duck, grilled Atka mackerel, and the Pollack stew. The banchan and salad were fresh and tasty, and the duck was definitely the star -- perfectly grilled tableside with help from the attentive staff. The mackerel was unfortunately too salty for our taste, and the Pollack stew never made it to the table. Instead, we were offered kimchi fried rice, which was a decent substitute. Despite that hiccup, the service was warm and the food overall enjoyable. A solid spot, especially for larger groups looking to share their excellent duck dishes. read more

Came here for dinner on NYE with a few friends after hearing about their claypot roasted duck. The duck itself was $130 and requires notice 4 hours in advance. We almost wanted to change our order after seeing others order the smoked duck but that one doesn't require advance notice so we can try that another time. The roast duck looked amazing, meat falling off the bone as the waitress dissected it. It was stuffed with sticky rice and seeds. I had expected it to be firm and juicy like chinese roast duck but it was drier yet also mushier than anticipated. The dipping sauce helped slightly. We got a soybean paste stew to share and that was good. Banchan was just alright. The overall dining experience fell a bit short of expectation but I'm still down to their smoked duck, their more popular option. read more

The roasted stuffed duck may be what makes them a viral hit but the best dish was hands down the sliced smoked duck. It is so good. The roast duck was kinda dry although I may have gotten a particularly dry portion of white meat only. We also got the regular sliced duck and it was fine, but not something I care to order again. I liked the stuffing part more. My friend also wanted the intestine soup which was a huge portion. Service is pretty old school ktown and parking in this area was tough on a Friday night. read more

Came here for a dinner - we saw on social media someone post a video saying it has a Michelin star, but it's actually not starred, it's Bib Gourmand. Anyways, it's a very authentic hole-in-the-wall restaurant nonetheless. Very casual, no need to dress up. We called in a day prior to order the roasted duck ahead of time. It takes 4 hours so you need to order ahead if you want this dish. We were a group of 3 and it was plenty for all of us, probably good for 3-4 people. It's pricey... $125. It was served on a hot sizzling skillet and they serve each person a portion. The duck was filled with pepita seeds and rice. It was tasty and definitely a fun presentation that's sure to catch everyone's attention in the restaurant, but I don't think it's worth the high price tag of $125. Some pieces of the duck were tender and juicy, but we found a lot of it to be dry. It comes with small sides of vegetables, all of which were really good and flavorful. I loved the salad and the kimchi-style cucumbers. read more

Saw this restaurant being hyped up on social media and decided to give it a try as an early Thanksgiving dinner with my brother. Although the price point is kind of high, the food did not disappoint. We called a day ahead and ordered the 4hr Clay Pot Roasted Duck. The duck meat was very moist and packed with flavor. The rice, lentils, and sweet potatoes stuffed into the duck were delicious as well. Most definitely lived up to the hype. Before the duck arrived we also ordered some of the Sliced Duck and Pork Belly. Both were amazing, but the Pork Belly was the star of the show. Some of the best I've ever enjoyed. We even asked for a second order at the end of our meal. Service here was pretty standard for a Korean restaurant. Since it's not an AYCE spot, the server cooked the meats for us and served the Clay Pot Roasted Duck for us. The interior is pretty classic for a Korean restaurant. Overall, everything was amazing and worth the price. Not sure if I'd make the drive to splurge again unless it's a special occasion. read more

Dha Rae Ok - Smoked Duck - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

That roast duck, holyyyy. It exceeded all expectations. Kind of reminded me of a rotisserie chicken, but better, and the purple rice stuffing inside was amazing!! 10/10 would get again (you do have to call ahead by at least 1 day to reserve a roast duck). The staff divided up the portions for us and although the roast duck is officially listed as for 2-3 people, all 6 of us still got a nice sample. The service was very meh though. The ordering policies are pretty inflexible. For instance, if we wanted to order kimchi fried rice, then we're required to order some kind of grilled duck, and since there's 6 of us, we need to get 2 orders of the grilled duck, which would have led to a pretty hefty bill. We ended up ordering 2 stews to complement the roast duck but they only gave us 1 bowl of rice. The staff were super unhelpful too with figuring out order options and none of them spoke English, so thank goodness we had some Korean speakers with us. Came on a Friday night at 6 pm; made reservations in advance. There were still a few empty tables. Valet parking cost $5 for us. read more

This place caught my eye through social media and as a tourist in LA and lover of Korean cuisine, I had to come and see what it was all about. I made a reservation in advance as we had a large party. This is a very authentic Korean restaurant and most of the workers speak limited English so please be aware (and respectful!!) of that. Unfortunately, I forgot to order the roasted duck ahead of time (crying a little inside), so we did not get a chance to enjoy that, but we ordered a variety of duck/pork bbq and soups to share. Everything was very tender and delicious! Generally, I don't enjoy duck as much as beef/pork but this was very enjoyable - especially the smoked duck with sweet potato grilled in the duck fat. The meats are served with side dishes and two types of sauce (one similar to soy and mustard). Servers would come by and help cook the meat and change the grill. At the end, a large spicy noodle soup was served with handmade noodles and duck bones. I was undeniably stuffed by the end of dinner, and so was the rest of my party. My one gripe with this place is that the bill ended up being quite high, and even much higher with the exchange rate. It was also very difficult to get the server's attention as the restaurant was packed and busy. I ended up sniping extra utensils and napkins off the spare table next to ours. Overall, this was a delightful and unique experience, and I'm glad I got to try it! I would recommend this place to all Korean food and/or duck lovers. read more

Da Rae Ok was absolutely worth the hype. The smoked duck almost tasted like pork!! It was rich and savory in the best way, paired with the perfect dipping sauces.

I came here with two friends on a referral to get one thing, the roast duck! I have never tried duck in Korean cuisine and neither had my friends. We were immediately interested. I called 2 weeks ahead to place a reservation for 3 and order the roast duck. It takes 4 hours to prepare and requires advanced notice. Upon arrival we were sat right away and they confirmed our order was confirmed. Decor is dated and there no frills, but the vibes are welcoming and cozy. Aunties came by frequently to check on us and served the food. Banchan was fresh and refilled constantly through out the meal. We learned the restaurant has been around for 25 years and they've been preparing duck for the last 12-15 years. Their experience was on full display, reflected by the quality of their food. The roast duck arrived steaming hot and served with tongs alone. The meat was fall apart tender, and the skin was succulent. Purple rice was stuffed inside; seasoned with the flavors of the duck, herbs, and spices. The lentils and pumpkin seeds add texture and flavor. Accompanying the duck were individual dishes of salt and a delicious sweet chili sauce mixed with garlic paste; our server mentioned the sauce is sweetened with fruit. Each of us kept returning for additional servings until we finished the meal. We were full and satisfied, I would say the duck comfortably feeds 3-4 people. We had a great experience and I would gladly come back again for this meal. read more

Dha Rae Ok - 4 hour roast duck - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Loved everything about my first visit here and I'm already dreaming about the next time I can go back to try their smoked duck. We called to order the clay-roasted duck the day before and it was so delicious. The rice was plump and flavorful from being roasted inside the duck (!!!). I came with a party of 8, and we all were able to get a good portion of it (the staff helped divide the portions for us). We also ordered the pork for bbq - the meat was really juicy. Banchans are great, and the jiggaes we ordered to complement our meal were also delicious. Looking forward to our next visit. We parked on the street for free, but you can also park in the lot in the back. Entrance is in the back. read more

I had bookmarked a Korean duck barbecue restaurant and was gathering up a group to go, but that restaurant wasn't open on Sundays so my friend suggested Dha Rae Ok instead. We took public transit in so didn't have to worry about parking, but there is a small lot behind the restaurant if you are driving. The interior is simple and a bit dated, but service was very friendly and attentive. The waitress cooked everything for us. The menu is small and we opted for the sliced duck as well as the smoked duck. The smoked duck was pricey ($120), but managed to satisfy four people in addition to the sliced duck plus banchan. We also asked for two servings of rice. Iced barley tea was served to drink. The banchan were fresh and I liked all four dishes in addition to their refreshing salad. They brought two sets of banchan even though it was only a party of 4, which made sharing easier. We asked for multiple banchan refills without issue. The food itself was tasty, and I have always been a fan of duck. The dipping sauces were more unique and while the sliced duck was good, the smoked duck was the star of the show. At the end of the meal, we were also served a spicy noodle soup. In the end, after splitting amongst four the cost was high but not outrageous. We also all left full, which is always a good sign. Highly recommend Dha Rae Ok to try something different! read more

Got the roast duck that you need to order in advanced (we ordered a day in advanced). For the 4 of us, we got this and the duck noodle soup, which I don't think we saw on the menu but saw on Yelp. Verdict: roast duck was good! Very tender duck, delicious and unique, although I wouldn't say it was life changing and not sure it was worth $125. However, happy for this restaurant doing well as it's a cute Korean mom and pop shop and nothing I've ever tried. The duck noodle soup was super good, recommend getting that. Flavorful and a little spicy, great way to end our duck meal. If we weren't too full, we wish we'd try the smoked duck to compare. The banchan was good too but also not life changing. We enjoyed trying flat croissant at coin de rue bakery and black sesame cream latte at cafe de mama next door, so it was a culinary feast just in this small block in ktown. Was easy to find parking Saturday lunch of Memorial Day weekend too. Enjoy! read more

We dined here for a weekend lunch and had a great experience. The was no wait at all and we were seated upon arrival. The staff were friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered the sliced duck and chopped duck from the BBQ menu. Since we were a party of two, there was a minimum of two portions, which worked out perfectly. The meal came with a variety of banchan, all of which were incredibly flavorful and refreshing, plus fried rice at the end. One of my favorite parts was saving some of the grilled duck to mix into the fried rice. It made the final dish even more delicious and indulgent. I would definitely love to come back and try their signature smoked duck next time! read more
