Daol Tofu & Korean BBQ

We had the galbi tang and spicy cold noodles with beef at Daol Tofu in Oakland. The galbi tang was rich and comforting — the broth had deep flavor, and the short ribs were tender and satisfying. The spicy cold noodles were refreshing with just the right kick, perfectly balanced with the sliced beef. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly. The vibe felt cozy and casual, a great spot for comforting Korean food in the neighborhood.

Daol has been in the neighborhood a long time. It’s often quiet, and that translates to attentive service and made to order food. We went for lunch and had the chicken bento, the mackerel, and the tofu vegetable stew. Everything deliciously spicy, plenty of rice and banchan, tea, and miso soup. All for $13.99! Highly recommend.

Very authentic and Delicious thank you so much. Bebimbap, seafood tofu soup, bulgogi, and fish. Will come back again next time.

I found this Korean restaurant while in the area and decided to check it out. The food completely surprised me! The kimchi is one of the best I’ve ever had, and the galbi (ribs) are marinated in a delicious sauce. I also tried the tofu soup, and it felt like a warm hug—so comforting and homemade-tasting. I loved the flavors so much that I noticed they offered catering. I placed an order, and to my delight, everything was perfectly balanced with plenty of protein. All of my guests loved it! Highly recommend.

Great Korean comfort food. They serve the appetizer tray even at lunch. Quiet and fast service. Probably the most overlooked restaurant in Temescal.
