★★★★★ 5.0 Ariana Lucidonio · Jan 2026

DuBu is a traditional Korean restaurant with great banchan and meats! This was my first time coming and the atmosphere was relaxed but clean and aesthetically pleasing. They immediately served the banchan - fried fish, salad, spicy cucumbers and kimchi. The cucumbers were my favorite! We ordered the seafood pancake, fried dumplings, seafood dubu soup and short ribs. The short ribs were absolutely incredible, packed with flavor and tender. It was a massive portion. The seafood dubu soup (spicy) was pretty mild, so it’s good if you just like a little heat. The dumplings were just okay, I wish they had a bit more filling. The seafood pancake was delicious and also huge. This was my first time having traditional Korean cuisine and I was very impressed. The menu is large, I look forward to c

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jade Montgomery · Nov 2025

We’ve visited this place many times, but I haven’t found a favorite dish yet. The reason we keep returning is because my kids are absolutely crazy about their deep-fried little fish. I just wish they didn’t charge $3 for each extra fish that adds up fast!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 R · Mar 2026

I really wanted Soondubu and people seemed to rave about the additional little fried fish here. The fried fish was a bit overrated, not too much flavor and a lot of batter. The soondubu was hot, not much seafood. But the service was abysmal—we had to look for service several times because it was never there. And not because they were super busy, they just seemed to be standing around.

The side dishes were delicious, I especially liked the vegetable salad, and the dressing was made with ginger; both soups I ordered were very tasty. I will definitely come back.

★★★★★ 5.0 MS KIM · Mar 2026

This is easily one of the top three Korean restaurants I’ve ever visited. The harmony between the flavor, cleanliness, and customer service was absolutely perfect. Even though the staff was busy, their genuine care for the customers was truly touching. The seasoning of every dish was spot on—it’s clear why this place has such rave reviews. I came here based on the positive feedback, and I wasn't disappointed at all; it’s now a permanent staple on my personal 'Must-Visit' map. The authenticity of the ingredients and the warm atmosphere made the dining experience even more special. A huge thank you to the owner of Dubu! I’ll definitely be coming back with friends and family.
