I really like this place, good song choices!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Matthew C.La Jolla, San Diego, CA53041Aug 2, 2024
Very yummy korean food in Convoy, better than most spots.
Bossam was a little disappointing, kinda dry and I wished they also gave us cabbage that wasn't pickled. The radish was AMAZING THOUGH SO GOOD. Very bouncy flavor and not too sour me like.
Budae jigae was good, soup was very hearty, just wished there were more stuff in the soup.
Side dishes were good, love the creamy coleslaw one SO BOMB. Fish cake was great too.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 14217145Aug 25, 2024
Omg my new favorite Korean restaurant in San Diego! Better than yukgaejang or woomiok. It's a new Korean restaurant and the chef owner works here too. My husband and I both got the beef brisket yukgaejang and it was really good bone broth spicy flavor- spot on! Best we've had. The kimchi is really good here too and so are the sesame soybean sprouts complimentary banchan. The fried mandu was delicious and super fresh perfectly fried. We will be back!

This is a new Korean spot that just opened up! Food was really good. The chaldol gui and the samgyupsal were bomb! The side dishes were also fresh and had the perfect spice. The chicken wings had a good spice and sweetness to them. The atmosphere is very chill with K-pop music videos blasting. Fun for a small group, parking lot is kinda small. The service was really good, our server was really nice and checked on us frequently. Try this place out if you like Korean food and soju!

Dalbam really hit the spot and fulfilled my Korean food craving! So glad I found and tried this new spot.
The restaurant itself is not huge and the decor matches the name with the moon and stars theme throughout the restaurant, and of course k-pop playing in the TVs. We came for an early dinner so it wasn't super crowded and the service was very timely and friendly.
The menu isn't extensive but has a good selection and made it very hard for me to choose only a few dishes. I landed on the grilled pork belly and Budae army hot pot. Like I said, it totally hit the spot as everything was delicious! The pork belly was so crispy and flavorful and the hot pot had a big variety of stuff in it (spam!). I also appreciated that it had some heat but not unbearable. I don't believe the picture does it justice but this is huge...between 2 people we couldn't finish it and had to take the rest home. Let me tell you, it was still tasty the next day and for 2 meals, the price was definitely worth it.
Amazing spot and I will be back to try the other dishes!Helpful 2Thanks 2Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jul 23, 20241 check-in
Felt like an authentic Korean bar as we walked in for dinner yesterday and I am happy to report that the food was just as authentic to match! I recently had Bossam elsewhere and while it isn't usually a dish I'd gravitate towards, I felt that they did a solid job here with the quality and fixings included. My only gripe was that they didn't include a lot of cabbage on the dish itself but we were able to request some extra cabbage easily. The Jjyeolmyeon was probably my favorite dish as it was the perfect way to end a warm summer night with cold spicy noodles.
They unfortunately do not have any happy hour or drink specials... yet.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 1Business owner information

Parking: Parking here is normally a struggle but we were very fortunate to come as two cars were leaving. There is a ADA spot right by the front and a couple more around the parking lot.
Atmosphere: Small fast pace indoor dining, I believe they have about 9 tables but while we were there they put them together to accommodate a large party of about 8 in the middle.
Service: Great service and waitresses offer great recommendations.
Food Recommendations: We ordered a few popular items our waitress recommended and what stood out were the crispy seafood pancake and ddukbokki with noodles on the side so it doesn't get too soggy.
Supports Military: No Discount
Overall: Great food and service. It was a bit pricey for the portion but would still return to try out other great items on their menu.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 16, 2024
A local Asian family has been expanding its empire in the Convoy District with this new venture featuring a late night closing time. Dalbam Moon Night has replaced a short-lived Japanese kushiyaki and ramen shop in the same plaza as Cross Street Chicken and Beer. The seating capacity was limited to less than three dozen customers spread across a few booths and tables. Casual Korean comfort food was the theme of the menu with appetizers, noodles, soups/stews, hot pot, and entrees as the category choices.
For my meal, I started with the Bindaedduk which was a meat and vegetable pancake served with a soy dipping sauce. The item took longer to prepare so it didn't arrive at my table until after my entree. The pancake was crispy and had sufficient flavor that I didn't need to use much of the sauce. The other dish I selected was the Bulgogi with chicken as the protein and glass noodles as a side. It was pretty typical except that I didn't select beef as the traditional meat. I wished the portion size was more for the $20+ price.
I did receive unlimited banchan servings of which there were four types... seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned spinach, kimchi, and creamy coleslaw. That was a nice complimentary touch given I had recently visited another new Korean eatery which did not offer any banchan with my food. Between this and the polite service, I rounded my rating up to four stars for my dinner at Dalbam Moon Night.Helpful 51Thanks 13Love this 39Oh no 1Business owner information

Hello Emmett T
It sounds like you had a detailed dining experience at Dalbam Moon Night! We're glad to hear your feedback and appreciate your thorough review.
Starting with the Bindaedduk, we're happy you enjoyed the crispy texture and the flavors that made the soy dipping sauce unnecessary. It's unfortunate that it arrived late, but we'll work on improving our timing. As for the Bulgogi with chicken and glass noodles, we're pleased it met your expectations, although we understand your point about portion size and pricing.
We're delighted you appreciated the unlimited banchan servings, including seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned spinach, kimchi, and creamy coleslaw. It's great to hear that this complimentary addition enhanced your dining experience, especially compared to other Korean eateries you've visited recently.
Thank you for recognizing our polite service, and we're grateful for your four-star rating. We'll continue to strive for excellence and look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable meal at Dalbam Moon Night! - Jun 17, 20244 check-ins
My friend told me great things about this spot so we decided to give it a try and we ended up liking it so much we came back for a second night in a row!!
Food items I tried: Tofu Kimchi, Tteobokki, Budae Jiggae, Odentang, Bossam, Kimchi Jiggae
My #1 favorite food I have tried here is the BOSSAM! It's actually amazing and tastes so good. My friends and I all agreed it's their best menu item. I also personally really enjoyed the Tofu Kimchi and Budae Jiggae but everything I had tried was awesome! I also liked that their tteobokki was not very sweet.
Service was great and I liked the interior a lot. The little booths are fun to sit in. They only have a few tables though so once they're all taken, it might be hard to get sat for a while. I'll definitely be back!Helpful 3Thanks 3Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information
