Daeho Kalbi Jjim & Beef Soup

10000stars restaurant always

We came here for lunch and had a good meal. The service was quick, but we were given dirty cups and utensils and had to ask for new ones. We ordered the kalbijjim, kalbi tang, and chadol. Everything was good, but our favorite item that we ordered was the kalbijjim. This meal was quite pricy for a lunch, but the quality of ingredients was definitely good. Would definitely come back again for the kalbijjim!

Daeho Kalbi Jjim offers a delightful fusion of authentic Kalbi flavors with a creative twist, exemplified by their inventive combination of Kalbi and cheese. The result is a harmonious balance that tantalizes the taste buds with every bite. Alongside their standout main dishes, the array of side dishes adds depth and variety to the dining experience, ensuring there's something for everyone. The extensive menu caters to diverse preferences, promising an adventure in Korean cuisine with each visit. The enduring long lines outside the restaurant serve as a testament to its excellence, affirming Daeho Kalbi Jjim's well-deserved reputation as a culinary gem.

Reminds me of Kunjip. I think I still prefer Kunjip but this is a good place for Kalbi Jjim.

Meat tastes stale and old. Radish kimchi tastes old and sour. Yuk hwe was decent.

I stopped at Daeho Kalbi Jjim & Beef Soup - San Jose for lunch a while ago. The restaurant has a nice decor with information about Kalbijim. In terms of food, I tried their Kalbijim with Extra Meat, at Mild Spicy level, with Rice Cake and Purple Rice. Everything was really good - nicely braised/cooked kalbi, good rice cake, and assortment of vegetables. Although it was the mild spicy level, it was equivalent to medium at some other places. Overall, it was definitely a good dish to try and I’d give it 8.8/10

Long waiting line despite having registered on their Yelp wait list. Being 7 in line with a group of 6 people, Yelp told us that it took 45 minutes before our turn, which would be around 6:30pm. The freeway was also jammed with traffic which caused us to go 5m/h. Of course we weren’t worried because we had to wait for 45 minutes. Then, the app notified us to see host at 6:10??! We were really confused, but there was nothing you can do in traffic jam. When we arrived before 6:30pm, we were told that our table was pushed back to the end of the line because we were not there when they called?!!!! Totally confused wait list. You didn’t expect your customers to register on wait list and be there at your beck and call, did you? The food was great and all. Cheese kalbijjim was good and nice performance. The bibimbab was just average, and the kalbi guksu was misleading. They said it’s sweet pumpkin noodle soup, but none of us could actually taste the pumpkin flavor. One thing I disliked about them was their indifference in attention. When we left, my child left his toys behind. He was 3 years old and liked putting toys on the table. It was part of our faults for not checking all the stuff before leaving, but we only walked like 2 shops from the restaurant and I already hurried back when he cried his toys were still on the table. Look what I see? The table was cleared and cleaned up, but none of the staff saw my son’s toys. When I described that they were a pink egg and a brown sea turtle, all the staff denied seeing them. I pursued them please check again because I remembered my son put them on the plate and covered them with a bowl. They checked the trash bin and told us no such thing indifferently, then said you might lost them somewhere else. I was upset!! I saw him playing with the toys on the table. And the toys were not small, either. We left the restaurant unhappy that night. The toys were not expensive but I didn’t like the way they just told us off.
