Dae Bak Korean Restaurant,

11810 Centralia Street, Lakewood, CA 90715

"Came here on a thrusday early lunch! The food was good, but the only thing I have to say is that it's a little overpriced. I know I could have made this at home, but today, I was feeling a little under the weather to so came to try this place because I was craving the bibimbab. Would come back to try other food they have here for sure! They have a LUNCH Special for 7days 11am-3pm Ordered 2 Marinated beef which cost 20.99 1 Vegetable & Rice in Hot Pot I believe it was 17.99 or 16.99 around there 1 Ramen cost 8.99"

"The food is amazing. Every time we visit LA we make sure to eat here. It’s a husband and wife team who put so much love and care into the food and service. The bulgogi, tofu soup, and Korean pancake are my favorite. The banchan is great - maybe the best restaurant kimchi I’ve ever had (my girlfriend makes the best kimchi ever). You should eat here."

"The food here is savory and delicious! So much so that we went two weekends in a row! The first time we ate the Korean pancake, shirt ribs, bibimbab, and tofu soup. The second time we ate BBQ ribs and the pork bone soup with potatoes (reminded us a little of posole). We'll definitely be returning to try other dishes. I'm certain won't be disappointed. Also, Cass beer was a perfect start while we waited for our meal during our first visit. The second time, we ordered the rice wine, which had a subtle, creamy flavor."

"Their budae Jjigae is AMAZING. The broth is super delicious and there are so many hams!! It was a big portion for two adults. However the pancake wasn't really good... It felt like they used old oil :( ... But I'm still giving them 5 stars because they were super nice and budae jjigae was amazing."

"Holy moly was this place delicious!! We stopped by random chance (shopping near by) and what a hidden gem. Absolutely recommend this mom & pop restaurant! Walked in at 4:30 pm on a Saturday and was not busy at all. We were seated immediately. Decided on having the Pork Bone & Potato Soup with Rice and the bulgogi bibimbab with fixings. Everything was perfect! The best Korean food I’ve had hands down. I especially enjoyed the hot sauce/paste as it was a perfect blend of sweet, spicy and savory. As mentioned, this is a mom & pop restaurant with limited staff - never saw more than just one server - so be prepared to wait for your food. HOWEVER, do not let that stop you from trying this place. It is definitely worth the wait ❤️"
