Dawa kitchen

Passed by Los Alamitos, and saw this korean resto. We ordered jap chae and curry pork katsu. Here's the deal, if you're hungry and want a Humongous serving, eat here. Their serving is so huge that it can feed 2 people. Taste-wise is delicious especially the jap chae, you can ask for refill of their sides. Will definitely come back with friends and family.

What a find! We're not familiar the Los Al area, so we were so stoked to find Dawa Kitchen while searching for a dinner spot. It was a bonus to hear from friends that this restaurant is a popular choice among locals. If you've never been, Dawa is described as a cozy, casual Korean restaurant serving small plates and comfort food. My wife and daughter split the Bulgogi.

If you don't believe me, check out for yourself the big mamma jamma in my video. The skillet really helps the entree retain its heat, so I

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!
