다미한식당 Damee Korean Restaurant

Good food. Bussan and short ribs are delicious. The banchan are really good too. Lots of empty tables when we came in but servers were busy. Their drinks are good too. I tried the hot ginger tea with pieces of ginger. Water and barley tea on all tables. Great place to try if you're not in a hurry.

I visited Damee Korean Restaurant (다미한식당) in Buena Park after my Korean friends recommended it, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Ganjang-Gejang (soy-marinated raw crab, 2 crabs) — it was super fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant is clean and looks newly renovated, giving it a nice modern feel. The servers were friendly and attentive, though they kept speaking to me in Korean (which I didn’t understand, lol) — but that just made the experience feel even more authentic! Definitely one of the best Korean restaurants I’ve tried in Orange County.

Damee is a great Korean restaurant. Their soy-marinated crab is delicious, the mushroom hot pot is flavorful, and the bossam is amazing. The service was also excellent. Highly recommend!

The food was good. Unfortunately, I believe that service makes or breaks your experience. The first to greet us was not pleasant, nor patient enough to help us order. She walked away to gives more time and when she came back she gave up and told us to order individual plates. The second person to approach us was a bit nicer. But not fluent in English. We wanted dumpling soup and ended up with some type of vegetable and mushroom soup with some round pouches (round dumplings?) they never came back. I had to get up for napkins, went to the front to ask a question and the lady said wait and kept prepping. The ambiance was quiet and the plain decor made it relaxing. Too bad we felt abandoned.

Would not recommend the clam noodle, they only give 5 pieces of clam and it's $20.95, way too expensive for basically nothing. The free side dishes are tasty though.
