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.

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

We had an absolutely delicious dinner at Doal Tofu & Korean BBQ on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland. I must confess that this was my first experience eating Korean but it certainly will not be my last. Our waiter was enthusiastic and very helpful explaining the different kinds of dishes and why he was putting an uncooked egg on our table.we ordered the Galbi, which is a grilled beef that was very tasty and we also ordered Yachae Sundubu, which is a tofu stew that is served so sizzling and hot that we cracked the uncooked egg and added to the stew! It cooked instantly and added a wonderful unique texture to our dish. We also ordered a veggie pancake, that was the largest scallion- type pancake i’d ever seen. It tasted wonderful. We wisely had a bottle of Cass beer that’s a delicious Korean beer. The prices were very reasonable snd I can guarantee you that once you eat here, you’ll want to return often.

Korean person here. This place is authentic, their side dishes are always freshly made (and they give you a big variety), and the food is delicious! I find the seasoning to be perfect - not too salty as some of the other restaurants in the area. This is our favorite Korean spot in Oakland by far! We tend to eat early, but it’s never crowded in the restaurant. We also do a lot of takeout and it tastes just as good as dining in.

Very authentic, high-quality Korean tastes. Sizzling stone pot rice bowls are the strong point, akin to a spicy version of paella with delectably crispy rice at the bottom. Haemul Dolsot (해물돌솥비빔밥) — spicy seafood mixed with rice and raw egg — impressive and near heaven in savouriness. Steamed Dumplings (Jjin Mandu-찐만두) and Cold Buckwheat Noodles (Mul Naeong Myun - 물냉면) nothing particularly noteworthy, but good still.
