    Dried pollock soy bean sprout soup (bugeoguk) and braised cod (eundaegu jorim)
    Arianna P.

    So good! Some of the highlights: - Eundaegu jorim (cod braised in a mildly spicy sauce with radish, tofu, onions): this is actually so hard to find in Vegas, so we had to get it. It was SO GOOD. A very good portion of cod, not too spicy, not too salty. - mul naengmyun: different than what I'm used to, but in a good way! The broth was slightly sweet. The noodles were a lot chewier than buckwheat noodles, which I really loved. - the rice: they have white rice and purple rice, both of which are served in pressure cookers. They scoop it from the pressure cooker into a bowl at your table and let the burnt rice sit with water at your table while you eat so you can enjoy nurungji at the end. Service was super quick as well! They gave us a kimchi pancake on the house. The restaurant is decorated well with a lot of Korean cultural things. I'm excited this restaurant is here and I hope it's here to stay!

    Located in Chinatown on Spring Mountain and Arville near Shanghai Plaza, across Mama Chai's

    Doya Gukbap is a fantastic Korean restaurant located in Chinatown. You'll find them on Spring Mountain and Arville near Shanghai Plaza, across Mama Chai's. There's plenty of parking. Grand opening was on July 1, 2026. Inside is cozy and has an inviting atmosphere with good seating and awesome K-pop music playing on TV. I was listening to Blackpink "Pink Venom," a fierce and powerful song. Table is set up with condiments including salt, vinegar, red pepper, and black pepper. There's a built-in drawer on the side where you can access utensils and napkins. A clean table space is amazing, and keeping these items organized in a drawer looks neat and tidy, it's great! Complimentary Korean tea is served and it's good! I opted for iced cold water. Menu offers a nice selection of appetizers, noodles, meals, special, combos, and drinks. They also have breakfast special starting at $9.99 from 6am to 10am. I ordered Fried Dumplings (8 pieces, $10.99), it was delivered beautifully golden crispy, inside has ground meat, veggies, and noodles, served with a light sweet dipping sauce, absolutely delicious! Stone Pot Bibimbap ($17.99) is very good and filling! Hot and freshly cooked with crispy rice at the bottom, there's various veggies such as carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and spinach, topped with fried egg, seaweed, and served with chili pepper paste. Cindy is nice and showed me the proper way to eat hot stone bibimbap. Traditionally, you add red chili paste (gochujang) and mix the fried egg, vegetables, and rice thoroughly with a spoon, letting the rice crisp against the piping hot stone pot, and then eating it straight from the bowl. The meal comes with a good serving of banchan (Korean side dish), which includes sweet fish cake, crunchy radish kimchi, fresh kimchi, sweet pickled cucumber with crisp onions, steamed cabbage, and chili pepper sauce. Service from Cindy is very kind, welcoming, courteous, attentive, and friendly! Also met Jin the owner, she came by my table to say hello, she's so nice! Overall, the food at Doya Gukbap is excellent, has wonderful flavor, and is amazingly delicious! I love their dining atmosphere, very relaxing with beautiful decor, plus service is efficient and outstanding!

    This new Korean restaurant replaced the previous Korean-Chinese restaurant, and I really like what they've done with the space. The interior has been nicely renovated and now has a much more authentic Korean vibe. Service was friendly and attentive as well. The fried chicken was especially good--crispy, flavorful, and definitely something I'd order again. Overall, the food tastes authentic, so this is a nice place to try if you're looking for traditional Korean flavors rather than Americanized Korean food. I just wish they served the classic Korean pickled radish with the fried chicken--it really feels like a must-have! The side dishes could also be a little better and more varied. Still, a good new addition to the area with tasty food, good service, and a much nicer atmosphere.

    Doya Jjamppong recently changed its name to Doya Gukbap, and I decided to check it out after hearing that they now serve milmyeon (밀면), which is pretty hard to find in the U.S. The first thing that stood out was the unique interior, which incorporates a lot of traditional Korean colors and design elements. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. We ordered the Pork Galbi & Noodles Set (돼지갈비+밀면, $29.99), a small Mixed Sundae Plate (순대접시(섞어), $17.99), and the Assorted Pork & Offal Rice Soup (섞어국밥, $18.99). Everything was delicious, but the pork galbi was especially impressive. It was honestly the best pork galbi I've had since moving to the U.S. Each serving of rice comes in an individual pressure-cooked pot, and they provide hot water so you can make nurungji (누룽지) afterward. A small kimchi pancake is also served along with the side dishes. The food was excellent, and the service was just as great. I'll definitely be coming back often!

    This place is seriously underrated! I'm so glad I tried it. The food was amazing and super authentic. The pork galbi and marinated short rib were both flavorful, juicy, and tender. The pork mandu was genuinely the best mandu I've ever had. The wrapper was super crunchy but the filling was super juicy and flavorful. The banchan was some of the best banchan I've ever had and was even served with a full-size kimchi pancake which I've never seen before. The cold-soaked noodles were very refreshing and delicious. The interior of this restaurant was very interesting as well! The walls had traditional Korean clothing and artwork hung up. There was a display case in the center of the restaurant showcasing more Korean culture. They were playing KPOP on the TVs as well. The two older Korean women working at this establishment were honestly the highlight of this experience. My boyfriend and I are both not Korean so the women took extra time and care to educate us on every dish and to ensure that we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. They checked on us consistently and asked us if we had any questions or concerns quite often. Overall, this place is severely underrated and needs to gain traction soon!

    This is a wonderfully authentic traditional Korean restaurant. They serve a great variety of complimentary side dishes. The kimchi pancake is especially delicious. Cold noodle is incredibly refreshing to have on hot days. The spicy beef soup is very authentic, and the bulgogi is excellent as well. The aunties working here are extremely warm and friendly.

    Doya Jjamppong has been transformed into Toya soup rice. Wide parking lot, large dining table. The boss and his wife are very kind. Especially the wife who serves is kind. There are many kinds of side dishes, and the salted squid is surprising. Pork soup rice consists of pork belly and hangjeong meat, and it is soft, so both children and the elderly can eat it well. Especially from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., pork soup, yukgaejang is sold for 9 dollars and 99 dollars, and soju is also sold for 9 dollars.99.

Every time we've been told the kitchen is extremely backed up. One visit, we waited almost an hour before finally leaving because at that point it just wasn't worth the wait, especially for the price. Today we came back again hoping for a better experience, and we were told they were basically closing the kitchen because they were so backed up and asked if we still wanted to wait. Based on our previous experiences, we decided to just leave. The food is good, but after this happening three times in a row, it seems like there's a serious issue with how the kitchen is being managed. It's frustrating to drive there and be willing to spend the money only to repeatedly be told there's an excessive wait or that the kitchen can't keep up. We really wanted to keep supporting this place, but at this point it's becoming hard to justify going back.

It seemed like a great day to finally check this place out! Inside is a cute and calm space that's extremely tidy- no notes in that regard. The person who was getting my order was friendly and helpful. She recommended the dulce de leche latte which she said was the most popular coffee drink. As the day progressed, the tables started to fill up. I get the impression that they have a loyal following of customers which is amazing. However, in my opinion, the food was extremely underwhelming. I ordered the chicken Alfredo, cheeseburger, and ranchero empanada. Looking at the descriptions, I figured I would love the cheeseburger and the ranchero and the cashier recommended the chicken alfredo. The cheeseburger and the ranchero were disappointingly mediocre. While my favorite, the chicken alfredo was not special as well. I'm definitely willing to try some other flavors but the flavors I tried so far today definitely did not impress. There was a lot to be desired when it came to the food and I say that as someone who is typically happy with most meals I try.
