" I visited Dong Baek expecting authentic Korean cuisine, and it did not disappoint! The spicy squid was delectable, perfectly cooked and seasoned. However, the service was a bit slow during peak hours, and the interior could use some sprucing up. Overall, a solid choice for Korean food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dong Baek offers an okay experience for Korean food lovers. I felt the food was decent but not quite up to par with what I've had in Korea. The service was attentive, but again, the ambiance left something to be desired. It could be a nice place for a quick meal but nothing exceptional. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really like the food at Dong Baek; it’s comforting and reminds me of home. However, I do think they can improve a bit on presentation and service speed. The kalbi was delicious, but I felt the rice was a little lacking. I'll likely return, but would love to see some improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to Dong Baek for the easy-going atmosphere and hearty meals. The staff are friendly, and I always find something different to try on the menu. Their kimchi soup is my go-to, especially when it's cold outside. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who grew up eating Korean food, I can say Dong Baek gets it right! The flavors are true to what I remember from home. My favorites were the Bibimbap and the soft tofu soup. The staff were friendly, making me feel welcomed even though I didn't speak much Korean. The extensive menu truly caters to all tastes, but I would recommend keeping an eye on the prices as they can add up quickly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dong Baek is a hidden gem! The variety of banchan they provide with each meal is impressive. The flavors transport me straight to Korea. I was particularly impressed with the kalbi and the spicy noodle soup. My only critique would be that the seating is somewhat cramped, which might not be ideal for larger groups. Otherwise, it's a delightful spot for a good meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Dong Baek, but I left feeling dissatisfied. My sushi was not fresh, and the Korean barbecue was quite bland. The service was acceptable, but I expected more from this place after hearing so many positive things. I might consider other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)
