Best Restaurants for Korean Food and Barbecue in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Open until 1 a.m. most nights, this late-night Korean pub offers comfort food favorites with a modern twist, along with a fully stocked bar and $5 draft beers. Bossam, jokbal (marinated and steamed pork knuckles), kimchi jjigae served with a rack of spare ribs, and maeun cheese dakgui (spicy stir-fried chicken with cheese) are a few of the must-haves. Don’t skip on the crispy pajeon that comes with meat, kimchi, or seafood.

I visited DalBam Moon Night in Convoy Koreatown last night to experience their new menu, and wow, I was blown away! The Korean-style pork was delicious and offered two options at a great price. The entire menu provides excellent value, making it an affordable choice while still maintaining quality. I had the spicy samgyeopsal cheese, kimchi fried rice, maeun cheese dakgui, and the pork dish from the new menu, and everything was fantastic. I'll definitely be coming back. It's well worth the effort for such an amazing dining experience!

Everything was… fine. The food? Good but not mind-blowing. Service? Polite but a little detached. Atmosphere? Decent enough but didn’t quite sweep me off to a dreamy Seoul nightscape. It’s not a bad spot by any means, just didn’t leave much of an impression. Solid if you’re nearby, but probably not a destination spot.

Amazing bossam. I often skip pork belly dishes because they're too fatty but this is perfect - a good amount of meat but still enough fat to be tender. Nice sweet soy sauce with it too. Spicy stew, seafood pancake, cheese corn all really good. The conches smell a little oceany but taste like a huge (fresh) clam, if you're into that. Fun K-pop music on the speakers. Got all this w/ two drinks for 130 before tip so value was very good - we'll be back.

I like this place is open till late. Really love this. Especially since they got a restroom:) my soup was too salty tho. Everything else was perfect. I really liked my order (spicy moon soup ramen for $14) so all together it was like $15. Waitress was running around everywhere too. Works hella hard. I feel like this place would be so fun w friends. lol I went alone!! But this place was still good def would come back here. For the first exp it was good, loc was good, and close to freeway.

Chuck and I had a great dinner at awesome Korean Restaurant. The staff members were great. This was our first time dining here at DalBam Moon Night and we definitely had a great time. The food was delicious and the staff members were wonderful. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and was quitea fun place. Gotta love K Pop music. The service was great and all I can say is that they showed how much they cared for the customer experience. We ordered two appetizers and one hot pot. We were pleasantly surprised to get a third appetizer which was sent to us by the Chef. Thst appetizer, Corn Hheese, was probably the best we have had in San Diego. We appreciate that the chef did this and this shows that they want to make sure that the customers are happy. The Fried Dumplings and the Cheese Balls were perfectly cooked and delicious. Our main dishes, Budae Joengol ( Army Stew), which was a hot pot, was unlike any other wecgave had. This version was the most flavorful we had ever had. The broth was seasoned perfectly with the perfect amount of heat or spice level. This is a fun and great restaurant with delicious food. We definitely will return for another meal.

It is a new and cool spot of Korean food in convoy! We four to have dinner on a Sunday night, I highly recommend a reservation because it was busy. We ordered 4 dishes which are bossam, seafood pancakes, which these two are our favorites. We also had bulgogi, I think it is a little too sweet. And kimchi jjigae is very heavy taste, if you like super flavorful and a little bit over seasoned food, you probably will like it. The restaurant is a little smaller than I thought while it is nice decorated.

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.

Food: - Bossam tastes good just a bit expensive in my opinion for lack of veggies, you'll have to add another $7 for vegetables when other restaurants come with it typically. 4/5 - seafood pancake - it was very crispy and lacked seafood 3/5 Ambiance: Small and crowded but a good place to come for night life and Korean food with drinks - best for bigger groups Service: 4/5 - they are doing their best with the resources they have. I think overall, they have good service Parking: - always bad in convoy, there's a small parking lot if you're lucky if not street parking

The food at this Korean restaurant is nothing short of exceptional. The bossom stands out as a masterpiece - the pork is sliced whisper-thin and cooked to perfect tenderness, accompanied by traditional ssamjang and fermented radish that showcase its authentic Korean heritage. The green onion mixture adds a delightful fresh element to this hearty, classic dish. The seafood soup strikes an impressive balance between richness and heat, with the natural sweetness of clams and shrimp shining through the spicy broth without being overwhelmed. The restaurant's ambiance captures the essence of a genuine Korean dining establishment. The thoughtful layout features well-separated tables, and the comfortable seating adds to the welcoming atmosphere. The overall design and decor create an authentically Korean vibe that enhances the dining experience. The service elevates the experience even further, with attentive staff who maintain a perfect balance of care and consideration. The waiters regularly checked in on diners, and their generosity showed in the complimentary dishes they offered. The staff's willingness to engage in Korean conversation added a personal touch, and both the servers and owners demonstrated genuine warmth and hospitality throughout the meal. 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend. Give this place a try if you love homey and hearty Korean food!

I'm a sucker for k-bars!! Glad this is a new establishment in Convoy. Their food was total comfort and hit the spot. We shared the bossam, army stew, cheese corn, and chicken wings for 5ppl... and had leftovers to spare! Plus a few bottles of soju. I was a happy camper, with a full belly. :D Service was also superb! They have a parking lot, though I can imagine it gets full depending on time of day. Love that they open till late, yay for late-night dining! Enjoyed our experience, and plan to come back!

Food would rate 8/10. Pretty good but also there was a LOT of powder on the cheddar fried chicken. The bossam is super good & they also give you a lot of side dishes. Service they are super nice & always kept checking on us. As for ambiance it's so cute in there. There are a lot of booths that keep you separated from others inside but doesn't feel suffocating. The decorations are super cute. They were also playing a lot of KPOP music. There is only one bathroom but it was pretty clean. Parking lot is terrible. Wait time is also terrible bc this place is so nice that there are a lot of people coming in. It just so happens that conveniently we came at the right time. Would recommend!!

I love coming here! The food is always delicious, and the vibes are perfect for a chill night out with friends. 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!

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.

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).

I tried the spicy samgypsal cheese,Kimchi fried rice,Maeun cheese dakgui & Bossam from the new menu. Definitely coming back. However the parking situation can be a bit challenging.

Located in the same plaza as grandma tofu and cross street chicken, it was a little challenging to find. Loved the food here. Service was great and they check on you often. I came on a Wednesday night for my birthday and it wasn't that busy at 6:30p. I feel like this is a later night place. We had the army stew and the seafood pancake. The seafood pancake was really crispy and light but thick at the same time, one of the best ones I have had. The army stew. I have no words. It has approximately 4 portions and me and my bf loved it! For $80, we had soju too and food to take home for lunch the next day. Love dalbam please be open forever!

Dalbam Moon Knight is an eatery/bar in the Convoy area that specializes in Korean food, particularly "anju" (Korean drinking foods), stews, pancakes, and noodles. Parking can be found in the plaza's parking lot (can be packed depending on the day/time) or on the street around the location. Ambiance-wise: Dalbam's vibe is being an evening/late-night spot for friends to meet and eat good food, drink, and socialize. The restaurant itself has limited space and models itself similar to eateries or izakayas you may see in Korea or Japan with booths and tables mainly to seat small groups (but can seat one big group at a time). They have catchy Korean pop music playing in the background on the TVs but it's not blaring like some other similar restaurants may have which is a plus for me since I don't like having to turn my voice up for people to hear me or have people repeat what they're saying to me. There is a starry sky on the walls and ceiling, bottlecaps hanging in the booths, and celling lamps that give me full moon vibes. Seating/booths are set up in a way where I feel like the groups of customers don't really disturb each other and loud noise gets blocked off well. Service-wise: I have been here multiple times, and the servers here are always fantastic. They always check in periodically but never at a level where they're disturbing the flow, all have been quick and efficient with orders, can be personable/funny depending on who you get, and all always great with recommendations. Food/Drink-wise: I'll just start by saying I will immediately recommend the bossam (boiled pork shoulder wraps). It is amazing and by far the best bossam I've had in San Diego. All the other foods I have gotten here have been fantastic as well such as the jjolmyeon noodles (a Korean cold noodles dish - chewy & a little tangy/sweet/spicy, served with veggies), takowasa appetizer (raw octopus with wasabi), tofu kimchi (grilled pork belly with tofu and kimchi, cucumber/seaweed salads, corn cheese, pork or chicken bulgogi, chicken wings, and the seafood pancake. I would love to try the remaining dishes, particularly the big hotpot (although not a huge fan of hot pot but willing to give it a shot), and soups. Like other Korean restaurants, they also provide you with side dishes that can be refilled as much as you want. A weird additional note on food is their white rice: it's just plain white rice, but it's strangely made very well here. The little things, right? For drinks, they have a great deal for beer pitchers - $17 dollars vs $5 for a glass which also isn't a bad deal. Soju comes in at 11 dollars which is a decent price as well. The drinks pair really great with the food. In summary: Dalbam Moon Knight has become one of my favorite and go-to spots in the Convoy area. They serve great food, have good prices on drinks, provide great service, and maintain a good, chill vibe for small groups to meet and drink/eat for hours. I used to not be a huge fan of Korean food other than KBBQ, but Dalbam opened my eyes to different cuisine and turned my distaste for kimchi around which is an extra plus. I recommend this spot 100% to anyone who enjoys Korean food.

Sorry, but the kimchi pancake I ordered was burnt and inedible, with strong smoky smell and bitter taste. Please ensure better quality control before sending food to customers

This restaurant is in the same little plaza as Cross Street Chicken so the parking can be a bit difficult but there's always street parking nearby. Service was great and they had kpop music videos playing on their TVs. I tried the bossam that came with some kimchi, green onions, garlic and jalapeños. They also provided ssamjang and refilled the condiments when it was running low. The pork was soft and flavorful, highly recommend getting this to share. I also had their seafood pancake which was crispy and delicious. For their draft beer, they offered Sapporo. Even though a few of their items were blocked off on the menu, I will definitely come back.

Dalbam really hit the spot and fulfilled my Korean food craving! So glad I found and tried this new spot. The restaurant itself is not huge and the decor matches the name with the moon and stars theme throughout the restaurant, and of course k-pop playing in the TVs. We came for an early dinner so it wasn't super crowded and the service was very timely and friendly. The menu isn't extensive but has a good selection and made it very hard for me to choose only a few dishes. I landed on the grilled pork belly and Budae army hot pot. Like I said, it totally hit the spot as everything was delicious! The pork belly was so crispy and flavorful and the hot pot had a big variety of stuff in it (spam!). I also appreciated that it had some heat but not unbearable. I don't believe the picture does it justice but this is huge...between 2 people we couldn't finish it and had to take the rest home. Let me tell you, it was still tasty the next day and for 2 meals, the price was definitely worth it. Amazing spot and I will be back to try the other dishes!

Felt like an authentic Korean bar as we walked in for dinner yesterday and I am happy to report that the food was just as authentic to match! I recently had Bossam elsewhere and while it isn't usually a dish I'd gravitate towards, I felt that they did a solid job here with the quality and fixings included. My only gripe was that they didn't include a lot of cabbage on the dish itself but we were able to request some extra cabbage easily. The Jjyeolmyeon was probably my favorite dish as it was the perfect way to end a warm summer night with cold spicy noodles. They unfortunately do not have any happy hour or drink specials... yet.

It's a small little place with great ambiance. The music is a tad loud for conversations but perhaps it's because it was a weekend night. Our server was great and attentive. All the food came out quickly with no issues and they were all very tasty! Portions are great size for the price. Will definitely have this place in rotation for korean food.

Very yummy korean food in Convoy, better than most spots. Bossam was a little disappointing, kinda dry and I wished they also gave us cabbage that wasn't pickled. The radish was AMAZING THOUGH SO GOOD. Very bouncy flavor and not too sour me like. Budae jigae was good, soup was very hearty, just wished there were more stuff in the soup. Side dishes were good, love the creamy coleslaw one SO BOMB. Fish cake was great too.

A local Asian family has been expanding its empire in the Convoy District with this new venture featuring a late night closing time. Dalbam Moon Night has replaced a short-lived Japanese kushiyaki and ramen shop in the same plaza as Cross Street Chicken and Beer. The seating capacity was limited to less than three dozen customers spread across a few booths and tables. Casual Korean comfort food was the theme of the menu with appetizers, noodles, soups/stews, hot pot, and entrees as the category choices. For my meal, I started with the Bindaedduk which was a meat and vegetable pancake served with a soy dipping sauce. The item took longer to prepare so it didn't arrive at my table until after my entree. The pancake was crispy and had sufficient flavor that I didn't need to use much of the sauce. The other dish I selected was the Bulgogi with chicken as the protein and glass noodles as a side. It was pretty typical except that I didn't select beef as the traditional meat. I wished the portion size was more for the $20+ price. I did receive unlimited banchan servings of which there were four types... seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned spinach, kimchi, and creamy coleslaw. That was a nice complimentary touch given I had recently visited another new Korean eatery which did not offer any banchan with my food. Between this and the polite service, I rounded my rating up to four stars for my dinner at Dalbam Moon Night.

Parking: Parking here is normally a struggle but we were very fortunate to come as two cars were leaving. There is a ADA spot right by the front and a couple more around the parking lot. Atmosphere: Small fast pace indoor dining, I believe they have about 9 tables but while we were there they put them together to accommodate a large party of about 8 in the middle. Service: Great service and waitresses offer great recommendations. Food Recommendations: We ordered a few popular items our waitress recommended and what stood out were the crispy seafood pancake and ddukbokki with noodles on the side so it doesn't get too soggy. Supports Military: No Discount Overall: Great food and service. It was a bit pricey for the portion but would still return to try out other great items on their menu.

This is a new Korean spot that just opened up! Food was really good. The chaldol gui and the samgyupsal were bomb! The side dishes were also fresh and had the perfect spice. The chicken wings had a good spice and sweetness to them. The atmosphere is very chill with K-pop music videos blasting. Fun for a small group, parking lot is kinda small. The service was really good, our server was really nice and checked on us frequently. Try this place out if you like Korean food and soju!

It is a new and cool spot of Korean food in convoy! We four to have dinner on a Sunday night, I highly recommend a reservation because it was busy. We ordered 4 dishes which are bossam, seafood pancakes, which these two are our favorites. We also had bulgogi, I think it is a little too sweet. And kimchi jjigae is very heavy taste, if you like super flavorful and a little bit over seasoned food, you probably will like it. The restaurant is a little smaller than I thought while it is nice decorated.

My girlfriend and I went on a Friday night. We walked in, got on the waitlist, and were seated within 10 minutes. The service was amazing from the moment we came in! It was our first time and our server was super attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. For appetizers we got a cucumber salad which was very refreshing. We also ordered the Maeun cheese dakgui and the Chadol Yukgaejang which were both very flavorful and delicious. Our server even brought us dumplings in the house! Would definitely recommend!!

Overall ambiance was a nice and cozy late night dining atmosphere. We got one their most popular dishes which was the Bossam and it was definitely something worth coming back for. The marinated pork belly paired well with all the other side dishes they served with it and the texture was a nice balance between melting it your mouth and chewy. Service was always quick however they did forget to give us a few of the items we ordered which was fine but we were never told why!

I've been to this small & cozy Korean restaurant three times in the same month with different people. Is that enough evidence to show that this restaurant is really good? Lol You have to get the bossam. I love how the pork is soft, marinated, and the toppings are easy to build on top. The kimchi jjigae is one of my favorites -- it's sour, spicy, and pairs nicely with your complimentary rice. Not pictured is the seafood pancake. It's as big as a medium pizza and I enjoy the crispiness with the bite sized pieces of seafood. Everything on the menu is good & staff is always helpful. Please get your bossam here!!

Ambience is nice but the food is just alright, nothing too bad but also nothing very standout compared to the other Korean places closeby. Liked the bossam and seafood pancake the most out of the dishes we tried.

I want to start by saying my standards for food are insanely high- I'm usually disappointed when I eat out because the food and expensive and mediocre at most places. For the longest time, I only ordered here from DoorDash. Their bossam is amazing- it's flavorful and just melts in your mouth. The sides and sauces they serve with it are just perfection. I will admit I've tried bossam at other places since and it is not the same at all! It's usually more bland (not as marinated or at all- sometimes just boiled) and tough. You'll get the best bossam here guaranteed. You can tell they braise it for a long time to get it so tender. And the serving is huge! It lasts me a couple meals. Last night I finally went and dined in person. We wanted to try something different so we got the jokbal. I've never had it before so didn't know what to expect, but generally I do love pigs feet. I've never had it like that before - it was so tender and soft and sooo flavorful. Sometimes pigs feet has a weird aftertaste to it, but this one didn't have that at all. We also got the corn cheese which is absolutely addicting. Again, best I've ever had period. To add to that, our server was so sweet and attentive. I highly recommend this place, it is by far my favorite Korean restaurant!

New korean spot in Convoy, and it's a must try! They have a lot of options on their menu and it's relatively affordable. We tried the fish cake soup, corn cheese and kimchi fried rice. The fish cake soup was my favorite, it was so comforting and flavorful! The kimchi fried rice was decent but the rice was a bit too soggy for my liking. The banchan was delicious as well and tasted homemade. They also gave us dumplings on the house! The restaurant is a bit small, but it has a homey ambience. Service was quick. Highly recommend this place!!

Service was great! Cute little place with cozy 4-seater booths. We even got a complimentary corn cheese, so nice!! The soup was really flavorful and perfect for the colder weather these days. Can't wait to come back to try the army soup. No wait on a Tuesday night when we arrived right when it opened at 6pm.

New Korean restaurant at Convoy! The decorations are super cute with the moon night theme. The menu items are also slight different than other Korean restaurants. They offer little bit of everything. Some of the items are not something we have seen at other places. We tried their kimchi soup with pork, tofu and vegetables. It's very kimchi! We initially thought it's more like tofu soup, but really it's like kimchi based stew. I loved the spicy cold chewy noodles. That's my favorite that night. It's not very spicy. All the ingredients mixed well together. The meat and vegetables pancake is very different than I expected. I am not sure what to think of it. The service was great though. They checked up on us many times to make sure everything is good. If I come back again, I want to try other food items since they have many different ones on the menu, like the army soup.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dalbam. The food was exceptional, and the service was outstanding! Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. We ordered: Bossam, bulgogi fries, beef intestine, spicy cold noodles and the brisket yukgejang. All a solid 10/10! So happy that Convoy has a new little korean joint to grab soju and bomb korean food! Also, The interior was beautiful! Loved the lit up moon on the wall.

Thought to give this new place a try and very glad we did! The service was quick they paid great attention to us. Service 10/10 For food we ordered the Bossam: the meat was soft/tender and we had a good array of sides and sauces to go with it. The Spicy Chicken + Cheese: So so good, but careful it is spicy! (The good kind). The cheese helped a lot. Tteokbokki: It was solid and the sauce was good, so we ended up throwing some of our rice in there afterwards :) Corn Cheese: Very buttery and cheesy, so glad we got to try it. Will be coming back!

My friend told me great things about this spot so we decided to give it a try and we ended up liking it so much we came back for a second night in a row!! Food items I tried: Tofu Kimchi, Tteobokki, Budae Jiggae, Odentang, Bossam, Kimchi Jiggae My #1 favorite food I have tried here is the BOSSAM! It's actually amazing and tastes so good. My friends and I all agreed it's their best menu item. I also personally really enjoyed the Tofu Kimchi and Budae Jiggae but everything I had tried was awesome! I also liked that their tteobokki was not very sweet. Service was great and I liked the interior a lot. The little booths are fun to sit in. They only have a few tables though so once they're all taken, it might be hard to get sat for a while. I'll definitely be back!

Excellent Korean pub food! The best I've had in SD! Run to Dalbam Moon Night for the incredible jokbal (pork hock) which comes out warm with green onions, and sitting in a light, savory broth. The kimchi pancake was crunchy and huge as it should be! I have to compliment the man serving on 6/13/24. His kind, attentive service was second to none.... my wife & I felt welcomed and very satisfied! Would come back again!

AMAZING FOOD. My friends and I ordered so much here. The server was nice and ambience was fun and light. Everything we ordered was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Only downside was that the kimchi Jiggae could have been spicier and I wish there was better soju flavors. Overall great place for a night out with friends.

Food 5/5 great flavors and level of spice. Good share portions and pricing. Service 5/5 fast and attentive. Ambiance is super cute, but a bit small, so it's loud with everyone's voices bouncing off the walls. Overall, I can't wait to go back!

Quick service, friendly staff. We ordered the Kimchi Jiggae, had wonderful tangy flavor. Chicken with cheese was spicy and tender. Server gave us fried mandu on the house!

Forgot to take a picture of the food beforehand because it smelled too good for the phone to eat first lol. Flavors of the broth were good and the intestine was super yummy. Seating inside was also pretty cool, I like how they closed late. Also, I came here when they recently opened so the entire menu wasn't ready yet but I'm excited to return and try more.
