DAAN Korean Cuisine Restaurant - Richmond, British Columbia

I went to Daan for the first time for my girlfriend who loves Korean food!! The orders were Ttukbaegi Gamjatang, Dakgalbi, and Galbitang. The overall taste is not strong and is very well balanced. There were some ingredients that didn't go well with the food, but that was very minor and overall it ... was good. The side dishes supported the main dish well, and the kimchi was the best among all the Korean restaurants I've been to so far. If you want to know if a Korean restaurant is good, try their kimchi. Places where kimchi is delicious also have good food overall. Taste: 4.2 / 5 Atmosphere: 3 / 5 Noise: 4.3 / 5 Service: 3.5 / 5 Staff friendliness: 5 / 5 Average price: About $20-30 Since taste varies from person to person, I would like to state that this is my opinion.

Overall, the place is a great place to hang out with family or friends. Food: the food there was great, and moderately priced. I found the rice cakes there to be really great! Service: honestly, not bad but not great. Its in the middle. They are there to take your orders, and ... fulfill your needs, but they don’t exactly try to converse with you. Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, as they did everything they were expected to. Hence, the 4 stars. Atmosphere: great! The place is a little small, but it does add to the busy and homey environment. Nice 👍 Read more

Good experience here, wasn’t too busy on the night we went so we had a non-rushed experience. The baby octopus hot plate ingredients were fresh and delicious with a good amount of spice for a cold winter night. The hot plate on its own would feed 3 easily.

Service was prompt and floor staff were quick despite a busy lunch hour. Dishes were generally good. The seafood pancake was a highlight. Fried chicken was a little greasy and not as flavourful as expected.

We ordered the spicy chicken plate, bulgogi stew, kimchi pancake, and soon tofu soup. The bulgogi stew was very flavourful, sweet and savoury with potato noodles, a fried egg on top, rice cakes, and lots of beef. We got the mild version for my 3.5 year old daughter. The kimchi pancake was ... light and soft with a good kimchi flavour. Good appetizer. The spicy chicken plate was sizzling, the chicken wasn’t as flavourful on the inside but the spicy sauce it was coated in was great. The soon tofu soup was spicy and excellent. All the soups and plates come with a bowl of rice and side dishes. The restaurant is small, seats about 20. We went on a Saturday at lunch it was about half full. It’s smokey when the kitchen is cooking. Read more
