Don Moo Ji

Was in the area and stubbled across this GEM. When I walked in, I was greeted right away and shown a table. My wife and I both love Korean food and was excited to try an arrangement spread. The food did not disappoint and the server we had was great. The prices are very responsible as well. I highly recommend trying if you are in the area.

I came here on 2 separate occasions for lunch. I highly highly recommend the tonkatsu omelette rice. Very crispy, juicy pork, with a deliciously soft omelette underneath. The gravy can be a little too sweet, but can be balanced out by other dishes you order. There’s so many other side dishes that you should definitely try out: tteokboki, fried octopus, kimbap, etc.

Our first restaurant choice was at full capacity…so I searched Korean places in the area since I was craving it, and stumbled upon Dan Moo Ji. This establishment is on the ground floor of a 2 story strip of other businesses. Upon entering, you can order at the counter or sit down. The restaurant was pretty empty when we got there, so we were seated right away at a half table/half booth. There is a bright white aesthetic, with cute string lights cascading the kitchen behind the glass when you enter. Contrasted wood with white tables await at the dining area. More parties were sat throughout our dinner, so it filled up quickly and the to-go counter was busy the entire time. For appetizers, we got the fish cake skewer with soup and corn cheese. The soup for the fish cake had a good depth of umami. It came in a measuring cup of sorts with a ladle, so you could scoop your own. Although we ordered only 2 servings, it was able to serve 3 people and fill up each of our bowls twice. The corn cheese came in a hot little skillet and was tasty. For the mains, We ordered the tuna kimchi kimbob, spicy tuna kimbob, and bulgogi kimbob. What made it really unique is the perilla leaf they put in it, aka sesame leaf. I’ve never had that in kimbob before and it definitely leveled up the flavor. We had to ask for a side of spicy mayo and soy sauce for dips - apparently the only 2 they had. Everything was super affordable, it was just under $30 to feed a party of 3. My only gripe is that our server didn’t really check up on us at all once we ordered. We flagged them down anytime we needed something. However, I will definitely come here again if I’m ever craving some kimbob!

Great lunch spot if you’re wanting a casual Korean lunch for a great deal. Their omelette rice and katsu dishes hit different and they serve some soup liquid during your meal that is tasty and filling. Service is super consistent and attentive which I enjoyed. They all seemed to enjoy working there and helping each other out. Overall, I have been going here for a while and I will continue to come here because it’s always been good, somewhat quick, and definitely everything is tasty !

I went to this place with a couple of friends and really enjoyed the food. Not only is this place not expensive but it also gives you pretty big servings. I would say it was definitely worth the price. I ordered the omurice and could only finish half of it. I took the rest home and finish it later. The soup they served us was also really good! We absolutely loved it!! The staff was really nice and served us pretty quickly. Overall this was a great place to eat. I would recommend other people try it.
