Dpoong Korean BBQ

Came here for our anniversary dinner last night. Tasty, great kimchi, friendly service. The blow torch dance was the icing on the cake. Hilarious!

Every time we visited the Dpoong,we feel very happy to have a good bbq with good price e and quality. Kind employees and nice owner and good quality side dishes and bbq. We strongly recommend this bbq place.

Pretty good place, Authentic Korean BBQ. Very attentive staff, serving of food is just right. The side dishes are replenishable, which is a major plus. Do ask for lettuce if you need it because it wasn't served till requested. Overall, the only room for improvements is their exhaust system. The restaurant was filled with smoke from the BBQ, making you smell like cook charred meat after your meal. Price affordable & will not burn a hole in your pocket.

Meat was delicious, and the service was prompt! Would recommend for folks in the Temecula area who are craving KBBQ! Be sure to get there early during the weekends to avoid long queues. I would strongly recommend trying their tofu soup!

The combos are really a great deal for a family meal. I think it's like $75 for 4 meats and a soup with banchan and a big bowl of rice. It's enough for 4 people I think. The food is also tasty. You don't even have to do all you can eat here because they give you SO much food in the combos. The service is super friendly and quick.

First things first - they have the best kimchi ever, HANDS DOWN. I could come here just to eat kimchi and nothing else and I'd be 100% satisfied. All of their banchan is great but omggggg I can't stop thinking about the kimchi. It's both Korean (me) and Korean mom (my mom) approved and endorsed. We came here tonight with 3 adults and 2 kids. They offer AYCE but we weren't in a stuff-your-face kind of mood so we ordered the combo meal. The combo comes with 4, 5, or 6 types of meat plus a soup. You also get a huge bowl of rice and all the banchan you want. We got the 5 meat combo which was more than enough for 3 adults. All of the meat was great quality and the soup was fantastic as well. Service was great. Both the owner and all the servers were incredibly attentive. They regularly came by our table to see if we needed anything and were super friendly. The owner is hilarious, he has such a great personality and he definitely enjoys being there. The atmosphere is definitely reminiscent of a LA/OC kbbq joint. It's on the small side, no frills, but they do have some cool arcade games to keep the kids entertained and had the TV on (SpongeBob was on and my toddler was totally immersed). I would definitely recommend calling in to get on the wait list as it's not a huge restaurant and it's fairly busy. The wait for a table on a Friday at 4pm was 1 hour. Overall, such a great find in Temecula! And it's a short walk to Handel's if you have enough room for dessert.

I was very satisfied with the freshness and richness of the meat juices. The side dishes were also enjoyable, the pricing was reasonable for the quality of food, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience. I will definitely return in the future.

First time at this restaurant and really happy we ended up eating here. Service was great! Staff very friendly and helpful. Portions were more than expected. We even had leftovers. Meats are delicious and all the sides were tasty. We loved the flavors of the tofu soup. I would definitely come back again.

Hidden Korean BBQ Gem, Warm People, Amazing Food, Cozy Vibes. We aren't from the area and just wanted to grab lunch, so my wife suggested Korean BBQ. She found this little gem, and wow, what a great find! The place is small but cozy, and right away we were greeted with big smiles. Our waitress asked if it was our first time (it was), and she seemed genuinely happy we came in. She took the time to explain the menu, they have AYCE, a family combo, and à la carte options. We went with the $24.99 lunch AYCE and it was totally worth it. The meat selection was perfect. The bulgogi was hands down one of the best I've ever had. The pork belly? Fantastic. The beef belly? Great cut, flavorful but not too fatty. Now, the sides deserve their own paragraph. The potato salad was probably one of the best I've ever had (no exaggeration). The cheesy corn was spot on, and every side dish was seasoned perfectly, not too salty or vinegary like some places. They also have two house sauces for the meat, one they've been making for over 20 years, a teriyaki with jalapeño. It's not spicy, just super flavorful. I could've poured it on everything. The service was awesome from start to finish. The owner checked on us several times, made sure we were happy, and even offered us a free dessert since it was our first time, such a nice touch. Overall, great ambiance, amazing food, and some of the warmest service we've had anywhere. If you're in the area (or even driving through), do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll leave full, happy, and probably planning your next visit.

Food was a 3/5 but service was a 5/5 LOL We visited to end our day trip at Temecula wineries. They were nice enough to take a big party of 15 people last minute. We were STARVING and they brought out the food quickly! The food itself was okay - the grills were kind of weak and they kept needing to use a torch to cook our food. But I told them it was my birthday and our server started dancing with a torch and performing with nunchucks which was awesome LOL.

I took my buddy here for his birthday. I got a beer and he got sake, and we both went for the all-you-can-eat option. The food was great -- tons of variety, and we definitely got full. Honestly, we mostly stuck to the meat and rice and ignored most of the sides, but everything we did eat was solid. The best part was the service though. Our server was super helpful, funny, kind, and attentive -- just made the whole experience better. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

To start off the staff were very friendly and helpful in helping me choose what to get. The meat was flavorful which did not extra sauce IMO. The sides were good and the portion of the rice was way bigger than many other spots. I also like to thank either the owner or the manager for hooking it up with extra meat for me to try on the house! That was awesome of him and of course the food was good. Would definitely come back!

First I want to say that service was great! There was no wait for our party of 6 and we were seated right away for lunch. All servers were pleasant and eager to please. The meats came out fast and were put on the grill quickly. But the meats were all thinly sliced with a lot of fat and so when they were placed on the wire mesh grill, they immediately scorched to a burnt char, while some parts of the meat was still undercooked. These slices were so fatty that it caused the fire to flame too high. Unfortunately when asked if they served meats cut other ways, the only other option was a bone rib. It's too bad they didn't serve cut pieces as well as the thin slices. Also, each table is partitioned by acrylic dividers that especially kept the heat inside the booth and limited the smoke ventilation. Because of this, we were really hot and claustrophobic and negatively impacted our experience. Lots of potential here with better ventilation and a variety of cut meats could really make a difference.

WOW. This place is awesome and high on my list of recommendations! First of all, the staff members are so friendly! They go out of their way to make you feel welcome! It was our first time dining here and it was a great experience. They are welcoming, give great recommendations, and overall just so nice! The vibe is so fun! They have some arcade games in the front and anime posters on the walls. They also have 2 menus, AYCE and a combo menu. We decided to go with a combo because you have the option to take home what you don't finish and we did just that! I didn't get his name but there was a gentleman that was walking around and torching meat on your grill to help it cook. At one point he blasted the power rangers theme song and was rocking out! this was a much needed date night for my husband and I and we had a great time here! Plus, they played the word series while we ate! Definitely will be back!

Best barbecue in town! Everything thing is good at this place. So good you'll want to smack your momma!

This was our first time trying this restaurant. My family heard about it so they wanted to give it a try. Apparently, it is a new restaurant that just opened. This restaurant is located in Temecula in a mini mall. Thankfully when we visited there was a place to sit when we arrived. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and inviting. We didn't know what to expect, but the menu is clearly written with the different choices of meat and seafood that they offer. We were seated at one of the open tables, the staff came by and asked if we had any questions on the menu. Which we were just still trying to figure out. But we had decided to get combo 3 because we had 5 people in our group. It included shrimp as well. The sides were flavorful as well. The tofu soup was pretty good as well. The meat was a good variety. We got a big bowl of rice and the first set of meat to cook. The grill was turned on by the staff, but in between grilling the meat, the waiter had to come by and use a mini cooking torch to help the meat cook faster. Apparently, the grill that we have at the table does not have flame on one side of it. This was a little disappointing. Because it happened more than 2x during our dining experience. So we were having to wait for the meat to get cooked thoroughly with that mini torch. I hope that is something they'll get fixed because that is the whole dining experience grilling your meat on a grill that works thoroughly. Not sure if we'll be back. It was okay but not what we expected it to be.

One of my new favorite spots! The food here is amazing! I genuinely enjoyed every single side dish that was brought out. I always like to have a salad with my KBBQ, so you do have to ask for it here, but don't forget to because their salad is fresh and tasty. Their meat is very good quality and is absolutely delicious. We did have choose a meat that is usually cut thicker, but they accommodated us and sliced it thinner for us, which we really appreciated. I also do appreciate how they have combos here, so you don't have to do AYCE and with the combos, you can take the meat home! But overall, the vibes are great, service is good and the managers take the time to get to know their customers. Definitely looking forward to my next visit here! :)

I take all friends here for Korean BBQ. I love that it's not an AYCE restaurant, so you get to pack and take home all the leftovers. They serve a ton of food for the combo options and you may ask for more side dishes/condiments, such as kimchi and potato salad. I highly recommend the beef options. My favorite is the spicy beef, while my daughter loves the brisket. My friends didn't like their pork options. The servers are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Fun and upbeat atmosphere. Perfect for large groups. Can't wait to go back!

Best KBBQ in the I.E. they are also so nice. I coming here! Looking forward to coming here again soon!

First time there and will definitely be back! Great food and service was great! My friends and I all really enjoyed it

We came in on a Friday to try the $25.99 lunch special and were blown away! The customer service was honestly the best we've ever experienced in Temecula. The meats were top quality and full of flavor. The grills are different from the typical chain KBBQ restaurants and (although it takes a little longer to cook) I learned I enjoy this form of grill better. The atmosphere was comfortable and not overwhelming, which made the whole experience even better. Our waitress was incredibly attentive. We're so sad we didn't get her name! Everyone we interacted with was so friendly. We'll definitely be coming back as regulars!

The best sides always keep coming non-stop, and there's always enough food for everyone. Thanks to the serving staff -- it's always a great time!!

We came here for the all-you-can-eat option and unfortunately left disappointed. After our first round, it took a long time before we were able to order more food. The servers were respectful, but not very attentive -- we often had to flag someone down, and when we did, we tried to order as much as possible knowing it might be a while before they returned. One server attempted to memorize everything we requested instead of writing it down, which led to several items being forgotten. I don't fault her personally, but it really highlighted the lack of a proper ordering system (like tablets or order slips) to keep things organized. On top of that, we had to specifically request the brisket sauce, which usually comes by default at most KBBQ places. The grill setup was another downside. The fire didn't have adjustable settings, and while the design looked unique at first, it ended up being less effective than the traditional KBBQ grills used elsewhere. The food itself was decent, but the overall experience suffered because of slow service, missed orders, and inefficient equipment.

Great value for a traditional KBBQ spot in Temecula. Went with the Combo 1 deal where you get to choose 4 meat choices -- great for a group of 2-4 people. We went with the sweet beef bulgolgi, New York strip, beef brisket, and Spicy pork shoulder. We just had two in our group and had to take some leftovers! You cook it yourself here too so make sure you have someone in your group that has decedent cooking abilities! Gets pretty smoky too so wear something you don't mind getting smoked out. The service was friendly and the owner has such a great vibe! The banchan side dishes were good and overall good affordable place for KBBQ!

My multifamily property manager loves barbecue on a grill like ribeye steaks. So I suggested we try this Korean barbecue because the reviews were so great. Eddie was 30 minutes late because he misunderstood the time. So I waited at the restaurant and had a long talk with Roy about how he started the business. Roy told me he's been in the Korean barbecue business for something like 30 years. He started in LA but Covid came and the restaurants had to shut down he said for almost a year. But he gave away his restaurant for free to a lady who took over his lease. She ended up running some illegal gambling and got shut down and the landlord kicked her out. Meanwhile Roy opened up the Temecula location about 4 years ago. He gets really busy on the weekends and people are waiting an hour for the table. But we got there on Monday and there was only one other party at another table and they soon left. Then we were the only people in the restaurant pretty much all night. Roy spent a lot of time talking with Eddie at our table and the other server was so attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. I made many requests such as corn tea, which Roy gave me his personal tea bag not for restaurant customers. I also requested a fork and a knife for me to cut the meats with. I didn't see the scissors at the table. We four adults, ordered number two, five different meats including the short ribs $131. The various kim chee dishes were the most delicious that I had in any Korean restaurant. But no one ate those but me. I am Chinese and well familiar with Korean food, but Eddy and his wife and cousin are Mexican, and for some reason they kept refusing to eat anything but the grilled meats. I was happy to take it all home. Roy gave us a plate of his favorite meat the sweet thin sliced pork, on the house, and it was a big pile. For the $131 we did a good job and I took a little bit home but for the four of us we did very well. They did not even touch the soup that came with a meal so I finished the entire tofu soup. Roy was telling us about how inflation is severely affecting his business how much rice cost now, how much the meats are. He told us of several businesses in the shopping centers that closed and that in the last 4 years, this shopping center has had three different owners. Roy's business sign on the building did not light up at night and it made the business look closed even though there's a small neon sign in the window that says open in red letters, but it's the glass is dark and looks closed.. He says he's fed up with that landlord. It's the landlord's responsibility to fix his business sign on the building above his door. I took more pictures of the food but when I'm posting the review I didn't find them in my phone. Well we had a good time, we stayed till 9:30 when our server said they were closing. We will be back next year. Roy is only making enough money with this restaurant to feed himself, but it's not a "profit". So hope you can go there especially during the weekdays, and help him out.

We went in for the lunch special, and it was so good! Definitely the best Korean bbq spot in town. The owner and staff are so nice and helpful. They were very attentive and we never went long in between rounds, unlike some places that drop your first off then disappear. I really can't express well enough how nice everyone was and how good the food was. We'll definitely be back soon!!

Best Korean BBQ in the valley and the service was great... we also got to meet the owner and he was an amazingly friendly guy! Will be going back for some more AYCE!

The owner leads his team with a good attitude and hard work, as any good leader should. Although quite toasty, the atmosphere was, too, on fire! The food was delicious and portion sizes for the AYCE option 2 are perfect for a party of 4. Thank you to the incredible team there for making our group of 8 feel welcomed!

We love coming here! The food is always amazing and the owner is so nice. Sometimes it feels like a party with lights and music.

We discovered this Korean place from friends whom have been recommended this place. It is tucked away in Winchester mall area. When you walk in, there is grills to the left and right and a whole section of video game machines to play while you wait. The place smells like Korean bbq and gets you ready for the meal. Their menu has a few options to pick from including cuts of meat and type of meal. We picked the beef from the first option. A very cool feature is they let you take home any left overs. As our meat arrived we got numerous side dishes and began our cooking journey. Everything came out delicious, and we ordered a couple additional sides. The prices for the deals are absolutely worth it, as we had a bunch of left overs. The service was impeccable, and the owner even came out to greet us. The whole experience was great. If you are a big fan of Korean bbq check this place out!

I wanted to take the time to write a review about my experience at DPoong today. As soon as we entered, my kids spotted the games, which is always nice because it's hard to keep my kids entertained while I cook. My family was lucky enough to get a table right by the game area, which allowed me to enjoy some of the sides and cook while they had fun playing. The sides here were delicious! They had a lot of flavor. The owner was also incredibly welcoming and friendly. I would definitely be back and highly recommend this place.

What fun place! First of all if you're looking for a nice quiet dinner spot, this is NOT it! The music is loud, and fun and it's giving let's get rowdy vibes and I loved it. The owner is really interactive, and comes to the table several times with a huge torch to help cook your food, he's dancing around the restaurant with lights and having the best time. The vibe here checks out! The decor in this place reminds me of the 90s in LA, and it's so nostalgic. I literally can't wait to go back again. It's not a regular all you can eat Korean BBQ, but seriously you get SO MUCH food, and what you don't finish you take home. I had so much fun eating here. Truly! Plus the shave ice after dinner really topped off the experience for me. Best K-BBQ in Temecula if you ask me.

Food quality was OK,, the place is small & local theres just no AC so its uncomfortably hot. along with the grills having fire only adds to it; the rice was a bit mushy but service was nice.

Prices tru the roof the meat quality was poor doesn't match the price. Meat very thin and dry once cooked. The place is small and the staff is very nice but I will never return. Beef is expensive now a days but the quality needs to match the high price.

Everything is great about this place, the first time we went we were hesitant because it's not AYCE. But we are so happy we took a chance at it, best Korean barbecue in the area for sure the service is immaculate, the owner makes you feel really welcomed. The food is great and it's definitely enough to fill you up!

First time visiting the Korean bbq restaurant today. They do things a little differently here than other KBBQ places. They are not all you can eat. You pick from three combos each for a total of 4 different meats at 10oz each meat; equaling 40oz's of meat. One soup to share, and sauces & sides with white rice to share. Such great flavor to their sauce and amazing quality of their beef. Customer service was okay. This restaurant is located in the promenade mall, a great location. From the looks of it this place gets really busy on Fridays & Saturday's. Highly recommend this restaurant!

1st time there, food was delicious. Fun, family atmosphere. Staff very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back.

The BEST korean bbq in the area I have been to alot of korean bbq places in orange county and LA this one hits all the marks! Good quality food close to home authentic flavor and great customer service the owner Roy is very very kind and knows how to treat customers always there to help if you need it! 5 stars easily this is the only korean bbq spot to go to in Temecula the other one off ynez doesnt even compare keep it up DPoong! Thank you to all the staff that make this restaurant great!

I had an incredible experience at this Korean BBQ spot! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was above and beyond--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing--everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The variety of meats and side dishes was impressive, and everything was well-seasoned and delicious. Our server & the owner made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us regularly without being overbearing. It really made the meal even more enjoyable. A plus, when my son started having anxiety while we were eating all the staff checked on him and asked if they can be of help. Thank you!! If you're looking for great food and exceptional service, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be coming back!

This place is amazing. I love the energy and the vibe! We were lucky to get seated right away on a busy Friday evening. Got to meet the owner too - super down to earth and hands-on! Not an AYCE spot but the servings are huge! They serve great, high-quality, delicious meat. We could not finish our meal - had plenty to take home. Made for an amazing breakfast the next day.

Five stars rating 100% justified. 1. Outstanding customer service. We received full attention and assistance from every single staff member that came to our table. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and food served. We got our food blowtorches couple of times too which added some theatrics to the dining experience. 2. We prepared our meats in the hibachi style grill. The combo selection that was recommended for us was perfectly portioned and plentiful for party of two. The meats were tasty and seasoned well. I would highly recommend the tofu soup. Family recipe, well balanced flavours, carefully matched spices and seasoning will get your taste buds going. 3. Imported Korean black raspberry wine Bohae is a must! Pairs super well with grilled white or red meats and marinated BBQ. 4. Ambiance was very good and helped us fully enjoy the Korean BBQ atmosphere.

Our group of four had an outstanding meal at DPoong this past Saturday. This was our first time, and it definitely won't be the last. The place is casual, and the music is loud, we were greeted right away and despite the place being busy we got a seat right away. We were advised to get the #2 Combo which included 4 meats + 1 more and soup of your choice, plus sides. Though I can't remember all the choices we made, I will say that this is a lot of food...so pace yourself. The meats were great quality, great flavor and generous portions. The Kimchee was delicious, as well as the other sides. The sauces can be a bit overwhelming, but let me tell you a little secret...his name is ANDY and he works on Saturdays. Andy made this meal extra special for us, he educated us on the different sauces and even made us his own personal favorite recipe by combining them adding garlic and green onion and BOOM...the perfect sauce. Andy was a fantastic server, he taught us some phrases in Korean, and he was so kind and funny and especially to my elderly Mom. He even made her blush a few times because she is quite the beauty. Anyhow, we will definitely be back for the fun, great food, and definitely for Andy and that special sauce.

This place is amazing! The quality of the meat is amazing and the marinade was perfect, sweet, salty and tender. Our waiters were very attentive and the owner stopped by often to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything. I will come here often and enjoy all the delicious sides that come with our meal. I could not believe everything that came with our meal! Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon!!!

st Korean BBQ in the Murrieta/Temecula Area - Our Whole Family Loves It! If you're looking for the best Korean BBQ in the Murrieta/Temecula area, DPoong Korean BBQ is the place to go. My wife and I have tried many Korean BBQ spots over the years--locally and beyond--and DPoong easily stands out as our favorite. We've been here multiple times, and every visit has been consistently excellent. What makes DPoong truly special is that it's not just a great dining spot for couples or adults--it's also incredibly family-friendly. We brought our three kids with us, and they all loved the food! From the grilled meats to the tasty side dishes, everyone left full and happy. It's not always easy finding a place where adults and kids can enjoy a meal equally, but DPoong nails it. The food is absolutely delicious. The meat is high quality, well-marinated, and full of flavor. Whether it's the juicy bulgogi, tender pork belly, or savory short ribs, every bite is perfect. The grill setup is clean and efficient, and the meats cook beautifully right at the table. The banchan (side dishes) are fresh and flavorful, and the staff makes sure they're refilled promptly without even having to ask. Our kids especially loved the japchae! The staff is wonderful--always friendly, attentive, and ready to help. They're great with kids, too, which we really appreciated. Whether it's bringing extra utensils, clearing plates quickly, or making sure everything is just right at the grill, the service is always top-notch. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and welcoming--perfect for both family lunch/dinners and date nights. We always feel relaxed and well taken care of when we're here. I would absolutely recommend DPoong to anyone--whether you're a Korean BBQ regular or trying it for the first time, you won't be disappointed. It's become one of our go-to spots, and we can't wait to come back again soon!

Tried out Korean BBQ for the first time at DPoong and I was impressed! Their quality of meat was excellent! The customer service was amazing too! The owner was very attentive and helpful. There was a bit of a wait but he was able to help us navigate through his menu and by the time our table was ready, so was our meats! I like the tables and overall layout! I'm so glad we tried Korean BBQ and glad it was at DPoong! I would definitely recommend!!!

Really nice little gem in Temecula! It will cure the cravings that sometimes you just don't want to drive to SD for. The owner and staff were so fun and overall the vibe is really nice and laid back. While you're not going to get an extensive menu, you're gonna get some of your favorites like the spicy pork belly. The anime on the walls adds to the laid back charm. Will come again!

The owner is funny and is very outgoing. He definitely does his best to take care of you. Although this isn't an AYCE spot. I feel like the quality is there. Combo 1 was enough for 3 people to share IMO. They have video games in the front that are free to play as you're waiting for a table. The only bad thing I would say is that the ventilation could be better. It's Smokey inside.

This place is unbelievable! Don't think I'll ever go to an other Korean BBQ place. Highly recommended

I found my new favorite Korean bbq place. The owner was very nice and entertaining all the customers. Food was so amazing. I ordered the combo set. It was so delicious. Especially the tofu soup that comes with the combo was so amazing. I really enjoyed the food and definitely coming back again!!

My family and I were indecisive to which Korean bbq to go to in Temecula, we decided for DPoong based on Yelp's reviews. And we made the right choice, food was delicious, staff was absolutely nice and attentive, owner was super sweet. Highly Recommend and won't go anywhere else in

The food was good , especially the kimchi tofu soup . BUT the meat did take long to cook , and the sides aren't complimentary. You have to pay for more rice and what ever sides. From what I remember. The vents weren't really venting the smoke from cooking the meat so it was smoky in the restaurant. We only came here once. It's very small so even to wait inside it's very crowded.

Wow amazing first time here! My party of 4 came around 1:30pm on a Sunday to a full restaurant but only less than 5 min wait. The Combo 2 was a good fit for us; it came with 5 kinds of meat, like beef brisket and bulgogi, as well as a bowl of Tofu soup. The quality of all the meat was great. Everything tasted really good. Their house sauce, "Ma's sauce," added extra flavor. The tofu soup was a small bowl so not a lot of that went around unfortunately, but still tasty. The service of each employee was super friendly, especially the gentleman that would come with his torch to speed up the cooking process. That guy was funny, always smiling, and constantly checked up on us. He even gave us a dessert on the house :) Impressed by the little old school video games at the entrance, super nostalgic. Will def be back

The best customer service I've ever seen in a Korean barbecue. They have huge portions, and they have really amazing stuff. The food was amazing. The the owner has a flame thrower, and it is awesome. Also the homemade sauces were a solid 20 out of 10 highly recommended.

This was the best kbbq I've been to in a long time. The customer service was amazing and extremely welcoming which overall made the food taste even better. The food was brought out quickly and there was no hesitation from staff when asking for something else. This place was great and will for sure come back.

Yummy Korean bbq. The soup, sides, and meats are pretty good. Service was ok, they forgot to give us tongs and they forgot my soju. Price for 4 meat combo was around $70+. Feeds 3-4 people, but it was a lot for 3 people we were all really stuffed. The inside looked like an outdoor Korean bbq because of the canopy that surrounds each table.

So f*cking good!!! And FUN! We got the BEEF ny stip steak and ribs. We liked the strip steak better than the ribs and would get that again next time. We also got the pork spicy belly and shoulder. We preferred the shoulder and would get 2 of those next time! And next time we want to try the shrimp. Soju was delicious as well! We had both grape and apple and they were both tasty. Would be nice to try different flavors next time. Basically we will be back! The sides were FANTASTIC (could be a lil spicier but we like it HOT) veggie soup is a pass. Wanna try a meat one next time. We got it "spicy" which it was not. Next time we should go SUPER SPICY AND MEATY!

Tucked in the back of Margarita Road you will find DPoong. Windows were dark and covered and the open sign was off, but there were some lights peeking through. The reviews were great, so we had to check it out. We were seated right away on a Monday. We ordered the combo #1 that included 4 meats and 1 soup. We got brisket, sweet beef bulgogi, garlic pork belly, and spicy pork belly. For the soup, we went with the original beef tofu soup. Everything was flavorful, and even more so with the yakiniku type of grill with open flame. The meats were on the thinner side, but it was still filling for 3 people. I do prefer my pork belly a thicker though. The garlic pork belly was just seasoned with garlic salt. I thought it would have been a garlic marinade. The spicy pork belly and the beef were really good! The soup was flavorful and hit the spot also. Since the grills do cook unevenly, our servers were very attentive and came by with their giant blow torch. It was a cool experience! Banchan was good and tasted like LA. The only real con was the ventilation was not that great. It was so smokey inside my lungs started to feel a little irritated, not to mention can't go anywhere after without smelling like bulgogi. Overall, good experience and love to help out a local business. Thank you!
