The food is amazing. You can taste the authenticKorean cuisine with a fusion of Italian taste. We love the food and the vibe of Dontam.
Absolutely loved this Korean restaurant! 🇰🇷 The food was incredibly delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and beautifully designed, and the service was excellent. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and worth trying. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing Korean dining experience!
A restaurant that has truly stayed true to its roots. I visit quite often, and it’s always fully booked—there’s definitely a reason it’s so popular. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is great. It’s perfect for a date, and there are also plenty of options that kids would enjoy.
The food was a bit bland for Vietnamese taste—lacking richness and strong flavor overall. The carbonara tteokbokki was the best dish among everything we ordered. Even on a Tuesday, it’s recommended to make a reservation in advance if you don’t want to wait.
