Visited the second branch of Dawa in Los Alamitos and loved it! The tteokbokki was just as good as any specialty spot—perfectly chewy rice cakes and fish cakes soaked in flavorful sauce. The spicy pork was outstanding with a great marinade and balance of flavors. Delicious side dishes and excellent service made the experience even better. Definitely recommend!

Massive chicken katsu curry served in a hot stone pot. Most people can’t finish what they ordered. Side dishes armed good but my katsu was very thin and was a little dry.

Really impressed with this place! The food was flavorful and well-prepared, with a nice balance of textures and seasoning. The side dishes were fresh, and the staff was really friendly. Great portions, cozy atmosphere, and overall a solid spot for Korean food. I’ll definitely be back!

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in our town.
The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and everything tastes amazing.
The place is always clean and well-kept, which makes the dining experience even better.
I’ll definitely keep coming back — I want to try everything on the menu!

This is exactly what the other rviews say – a hidden gem! Ee usually explore Belmont Shores, Seal Beach and Sunset beach. Today we opted for Los Alamitos. We came here midday on Jan 1st, and they served us quickly. The food was delicious, and tender! We ordered the chicken katsu and Beef Bulgogi – both were excellent! I can see this as one of many visits to come!

Nice little Korean spot in Los Al. These are what I tried so far. Katsu is huge! Beef soup and soft tofu stew is very good. Tteokbokki is ok, I’ve had better at Korean markets. Never had real good tteokbokki at restaurants. Bulgogi was a small portion but delicious. So far so good, will be going back!

It’s true they have the giant katsu here and it’s as good as it looks. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Clean space and feels welcoming for first time visiting. Definitely coming back for more and don’t sleep on the army ramen, very yummy.

Great addition to the Los Al area!
Huge katsu (kids like the curry on the side) and delicious galbi jjim (braised beef). More than enough for 2 adults and 2 kids + leftovers for the next day.
