Dae Bak Korean Restaurant

Dae Bak is extremely good. It is a little further out of the city but so worth the drive. I had the Mapa Tofu and the Spicy Pork Sizzler. Both were extremely flavorful and hit the spot. The portions are a great size. I split the two dishes with someone else. We were stuffed by the end and could have taken leftovers home. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We asked if getting more dishes would be too much as we contemplated a soup as an appetizer. They were honest and said yes. Overall it is worth the trip out of the city and I will be back!

I visited on a Friday night around 5:30 PM. My party of 2 was able to walk-in and be seated right away. We were greeted promptly and staff was friendly. After placing our order, the server brough out 5 small dishes but didn't explain what everything was. I would have appreciated if he took the time to do that. Also, the menu was a tad overwhelming. My friend ordered: Korean Fried Wings (10 pieces - Sweet Chili / $18.00). Loved the sauce. The wings were good but not as crispy as I would have liked. More batter than I like. I ordered: Gochu Jjajangmyun (added chicken) $16.00 + $5.00. Ordered a Korean Fun beverage (Pear / $3.50) as well. This dish was a large portion. Wasn't a fan of the chicken being fried, it was heavily battered. The dish is spicy as well. Beverage was refreshing - like a pear puree and not overly sweet.Overall, this was a cute spot. I'd visit again and recommend to a fellow foodie!

Hard to find a good spot for Korea food in CLT area. From my experience, Dae Bak is one of the best.We came on a Sat night around 6:30 and didn't have any issues getting seated. The had a good selection of beer/drinks....far better than I expected (would still like an IPA option). We started with the steamed pork dumplings ($8) and they were well prepared. My bride ordered the Dolsot Bibmimbap ($20) with chicken. She really enjoyed it....but did say the chicken quality could have been better. I went with the Jeyuk Bokkem ($24) and it was excellent. Our meal came with the traditional Korean assortment of side dishes....which is one of the highlights for us!Service was super prompt and friendly!

Really good authentic Korean food in Charlotte area. They're open all day unlike other restaurants. I drove 50 minutes, but it was worth it. I was really surprised how good it was, since I'm Korean.

OMG!!! Not sure how I'm just finding out that this place exists down the street from my home??!! Anyhow, it's AMAZING! They have my fav, hot stone bibimbap...it's fantastic. And those sweet chili wings areWOWZERS. Definitely the best wings I've had in this area. They will be seeing more of us, we will be regulars. Service is outstanding as well!

My friends and I have been trying to come to this Korean restaurant for a while and it did not disappoint. Everything was was presented beautifully and full of flavors. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very relaxing, with the upbeat K-Pop music playing in the background. I like how on the tables on both sides there are dividers so that you don't see the people besides you- adding a bit of privacy.Our waitresses were very sweet and helped accommodated all of our needs. We always get seafood pancake as an appetizer and DaeBak pancakes did not disappoint. We are more used to the one whole single plate of the pancake and these small ones are much easier to handle and tasty. I got their soy garlic wings and Gamjatang. Their soy garlic were crispy and full a flavor, but could of have less of the sauces as it soaks up the sauce and gets salty. Their Gamjatang - the pork bones were soooo tender that the meet were just falling off; goes perfectly well with the rice. The jaepchae was umami and the sesame oil tops off the dish. My friends all loved their dish. As you can tell by the photos, there is an abundance of food that we had to take some to go boxes.

Sadly the food was not good. It made my stomach hurt. The building was clean but had a weird smell to it. The service was good. After living in Korea for 3 years, I found the taste nowhere near authentic. We were in a community that the business seemed to cater to. The ox bone soup was strings of meat, not the actual bone, and the soup base tasted like water. The dolsot tasted like rice and boiled meat and vegetables, and the marinated pork had no flavor or spice. I'm surprised with the high rating. DO NOT EAT if you you are used to authentic Korean food. I paid 75 dollars and learned a hard lesson.

Excellent Korean food. I love the Kimchi Ji Gae! Fast friendly service! Affordable with excellent atmosphere.

Fabulous food and a yummy cocktail called Suju. We shared a bottle of it because it's strong, but also very smooth and tasty like vodka. I had the bibimbap which was fantastic and very generous portions. I love the pickled veggies and kimchi sides that come with the food. Excellent service and reasonable prices! I hope to visit again soon.

My favorite Korean spot in CLT. The food is always sooo delicious and consistent. The service is also top tier and the people who work there are very kind. The restaurant is small but very clean and has a great ambiance.My top recommendations are the wings and the Kkanpungii! But can't go wrong with any of their dishes.
