Came for lunch on a super hot afternoon. Great lunch sets with a substantial portion. I had the Bimimbap which was really good and filling (had to dapao half of it back to eat for dinner even after asking for less the rice) I really liked that the hot stone bowl was really not and not microwaved like some crappy Korean places and it actually had a raw egg on it! My friend’s spicy tofu soup set was chock full of fresh seafood, silken tofu and vegetables. So tasty!! The lunch sets were super worthwhile and the sweet waitress brought us ice water without us asking cos we looked like we were gonna melt.
The only gripe I have is that no tissues are provided.

This is a hidden gem! Was googling for nearby korean food for a team lunch and found this place. Came during weekday lunch and they had lunch sets which was about $10~15 per pax. It was so worth it though as the portion was huge, and the food tasted really good and somewhat authentic.
We also added their honey butter chicken which was really good too! Kimbap was fresh and quite authentic, tho a tad expensive.
Will definitely be back to try more dish!!

Amazing and friendly staff, especially the male server on 16-Jun evening. He was very attentive and kept me updated on the remaining table queue, much appreciated. We didn't book a reservation for Father's day but the food was definitely worth the wait. Diners around me also seemed to enjoying themselves and quite a few were regulars. We tried the soy chicken, pork bbq and seafood fish cake soup. Didn't managed to take pics of the soup when it was first served as my family dived in immediately. Side dishes were refillable. My entire family left extremely full with zero leftovers. Highly recommend!

The menu is misleading - for the prices and photos shown, you’d think that the Rose Chewy Noodles and Cold Spicy Noodles would have the meat and Hotdogs included as shown in the pictures. However after purchasing, staff told us we had to add $$$ just to get what was shown on the picture. We ended up eating noodles with no meat as shown on the menu.
When we told staff that pictures were misleading, staff insisted we pay extra to receive what we we paid for.
Be cautious when coming here and ordering. I believe the menu is intentionally structured this way to extract more $ since you’ll think you’re getting more than you get.
Also, extra % charged for service charge/GST.
Avoid.

The food we ordered was really yummy, esp love their cheesy topoki chicken, cold noodle, tofu soup & bimbiba. Food is price reasonable .. Students have free soft drink upon showing their student card too!
Staff services are excellent too. Restrn indoor seats were full when we arrived, we were sitted outdoor, the staff immediately offer us indoor seats when there is table indoor was avail, althot we had earlier indicated we are fine outdoor. The staff says we were be more comforter indoor as it is hot outside.
We will definitely be back to try others dishes❤️

Was quite disappointed with the hotplate meat… Dry and tasteless.
The rest of the dishes were okay.
Potato pancake was crispy and light on the palate, while the honey butter chicken was crispy but also a tad dry. Soup was warm and homely, which was very nice on a rainy day.
Service staff were very kind and attentive, even though there weren’t any tables open because of the dinner crowd, they were very apologetic even though it was not their fault at all.
However, at this higher price point (especially for non set meals) it is not very value for money, and the dinner crowd does make you wait for quite a while. Would come back only for the lunchtime deals when it is not so crowded, but other than that it is not worth it. :(

Tried Dalcomhan Bam recently and had a mixed but generally pleasant experience. We ordered the army stew and grilled pork collar.
The army stew was decent, comforting and hearty. It came with a generous amount of soybean sprouts, which could be a hit or miss, depending on personal taste. If you’re not a fan of soybean sprouts, I’d recommend asking the staff to leave them out. That said, the sausage in the stew was surprisingly tasty and added a nice touch.
The grilled pork collar was a bit of a letdown for me, too bland and very dry.
On the plus side, I really liked the refillable banchan (Korean side dishes). They were fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced, which helped round out the meal nicely.
Overall, the service was friendly, and the place has a casual, homely vibe. Worth a visit if you’re nearby.

Sunday lunch was pleasantly not frantic nor crowded. We are not experts in Korean cuisine, but what we ordered were all quite nice. Nothing really stood out for us, but in all it was quite a good experience. We over-ordered as it was done online with payment. So newbies are forwarned to check with waiters on food serving quantity. We'll eat here again.
