“ Overall, a tasty experience! We were the only ones in the restaurant on a Tuesday night and I really enjoyed the food. The service was quick and attentive and the restaurant was clean. I only tried two dishes, but the rice cakes were delicious and they let me substitute the fish cakes for spam instead. The gizzards were delicious, served on a sizzling platter. ”

“ I've been to Danawa several times, and it never disappoints! The service and food are consistently great, making it a solid choice for a night out. The atmosphere is chill, with K-pop music videos playing on the screens, which adds a fun touch--especially for K-pop fans. The drinks can be hit or miss, but overall, it's still a great spot to hang out and enjoy the vibe. Keep in mind that it's 21+ only, so no kids allowed. If you're looking for a laid-back place to grab good food, drinks, and enjoy some K-pop, this is definitely worth checking out! ”

“ Been going here for the past 6 years and the experience has only gotten more and more better. the food and service has been surpurb since day 1.Sayeon was an excellent host too. ”

“ This place had been our go-to spot for the last few years and it's been amazing since. Sayeon was the most attentive host too. Cheers to the years to come. ”

“ Randomly found this hidden gem tucked away in the corner of a plaza next to an event center. Decided to give it a try and to my surprise it was such a good experience. The place was pretty empty on a Sunday night with only another couple dining. They play popular Korean pop that many people know so it's a fun song along. Their decor was so mesmerizing with the clouds on the ceiling. The service was quick and easy. All our food came out super quick and was really tasty. My favorite was the steamed egg, it was so fluffy and flavorful. I also order a bottle of beer not realizing it was HUGE and for the price?! An absolute deal! This place is a great food spot with friends who want to have good Korean food, some drinks and a good time! ”

“ A nice spot for casual Korean food! Came here on a Friday night and was surprised by how empty it is. We came for dinner and all of the tables were pretty much empty. It's also located in a less popular area so it is very accessible and parking is super easy. For drinks, we got the cocktail soju in peach! I like how strong they make the drink. Most places would dilute the cocktail in ice but they don't use any ice (I Lowkey wish they did though, because it would taste even better cold). One cocktail was more than enough for 2 people. For food, we got the chicken soy garlic wings, the pork belly kimchi fried rice, and the corn cheese. The chicken was amazing (10/10). The portion size is huge and the flavor is rly good. This was the highlight of the meal! The corn cheese is also big, but almost to a fault, because it is too much for 2 people to eat without it getting cold / too cheesy. We added it to the kimchi fried rice and it was a great combo together. The rice on its own was a little bland. For ambiance, the decor feels like a party spot but it's so empty. They also play kid movies in the background. The service was decent, we got our order taken quickly and the food was also fast to come out. This is a great place to try at least once!! ”

“ Solid food! My favorites were the soy garlic fried chicken ($25), tofu soup ($17), and steamed egg. All of which were some of the best I've had. The chicken is super crispy and the wings are sizeable. The tofu soup was delicious, savory, and came piping hot. I don't eat a lot of Korean steamed eggs, but my friend said that it was the smoothest and jiggliest he's had. Prices are rather steep, but I'd say it's definitely worth it for the chicken. The only dish I'd avoid entirely is the bulgogi. the beef was paper thin and mostly veggies. It was also oddly very wet and extremely disappointing. ”

“ We came here as a group of 6 during a weekday around 9pm. We were the only group there, but slowly more people came in as the night went on! My group and I came here to find a place to chill and drink the yogurt soju cocktail was one of the best yogurt soju drinks I've had! We got two pitchers in total because it was so good. We also ordered two plates of fries just to snack on. Definitely preferred the sweet potato fries over the regular fries. Service was fast and responsive. If you're looking for a place to drink and chit chat with friends while snacking, I'd recommend this place! ”

“ Date: Thursday, September 19, 2024 Time: around 6:30pm Party of: 2 Meal: Drinks and Snacks *Truffle Fries ($12) *Fish Cake Soup ($18) *Soju ($12) x2 A friend and I were getting takeout elsewhere in the plaza. Since there was a wait, we decided to stop by Danawa for a drink. I didn't realize until I walked in, but this used to be VIP Oriental. I have some found memories of that old place. There no other patrons when we got here, so we just sat at the bar and ordered a bottle of soju. For some reason, I always feel bad ordering one thing, so we got the fries as an app. A pretty big portion with a fair amount of truffle aroma. When my friend came back with our takeaway, the server was super sweet. She said we could eat it there. We didn't end up doing that (tho I did taste a few things), but we were here for a good two-ish hours. Ended up with the fish cake soup as well. They made it slightly spicy which made me happy. (I can't recall if I asked for it spicy? Probably since I do like my heat.) There was a good amount and variety of fish cakes. I really enjoyed this dish. Glad I ended up at this spot. End up being a fun chill dinner of sorts. REVIEW #3565 ”
