The place is good, spacious meat is really good quality. For 699 its a good one we had a great time. there is a time limit of 2 hours so take your time and enjoy the food it doesnt take much time for the beef to be cooked, one of the good Korean barbecue places in cebu. The only reason I am not giving 4 stars is that they are under staff so if u call service during rush time it takes lots of time to the point we filled our water ourselves.

Owner is chief. It means other Korean restaurants owner doesn't know how to cook. Da won is the only one in Cebu.

Good location with limited parking. With open buffet while waiting for your meats to come and offers other Korean dishes (some a bit salty though). Generous portions and is not as loud as other korean locations.

One of the most authentic Korean restaurant in Cebu I've ever been to. I love there side dishes(반찬 ) On my last visit we had steamed egg (개란찜), cold radish leaves noodles (열무 냉면), dolfan(some kinda different style bulgogi 불고기) They have a salad bar for free, which also has some kind of Korean rice crisps ( 누룽지튀김) The downside is the parking as it is a bit limited.

Very strategic location with a wide forecourt and several fuel pumps making every visit a pleasant one. The 7 Eleven even adds up to the convenience this place offers.

Great customer service staff are very friendly but i only like 1 type of meat samgyupsal with the garlic and salt marinade. They have bimbimbop and fresh fruits too however The side dishes were cold. I can say the flavors are very authentic korean while we're used to Filipino Sweet Korean. The grilling did not have an exhaust so you will smell like samgyupsal 100x more.
