via Google Damsot has an incredibly fast and efficient reservation system. Go in, write your name in the wait list and go outside and wait a bit. My wait was 15 mins at most. They keep everything moving very efficiently. Service is fantastic, everyone from the host, to the server, to the food runner and even the busser were great. The Steak Pot Rice is usually limited to 15 for lunch and 15 for dinner but I was able to order it and I quite enjoyed it. The barley tea to be poured into the stone pot with the leftover rice still in it makes for quite a cool after-meal soup. We even got Yakult-style probiotic small drinks with our check after the meal was over. Great experience with short wait times, great staff and fantastic ambiance (the inside is very clean, well lit-up and nicely decorated).

Xuechen Livia Google First time trying Korean pot rice and I love it! I ordered the abalone and eel pot rice, and it was very satisfying. The rice at the bottom was perfectly crisp without being dry, soaking up all the rich flavors from the seafood. The abalone was tender, while the eel was smoky, adding a deeper, savory note that paired beautifully with the sauce. I will come back again and try other flavors!

ANNIE QIUvia Google Tried Damsot recently and it was a great surprise! My top pick is the pork belly pot rice. The seasoning tastes like a mix of sweet/savory marinade with a mild spicy kick, and the pork belly is super well-marinated. Once you mix everything together, it’s incredibly addictive.
The Spicy Eggplant Cheese Pot Rice was also amazing (minced meat + eggplant with stretchy cheese, rich but not oily). The abalone pot rice was clean and fresh with no fishy taste, and the seaweed wrap was a nice touch.
The set comes with solid side dishes, miso soup, and salad.
Friendly staff and easy parking. Would definitely come back!

Fang Phatthavia Google This is the type of food I can have 3 meals a day everyday for the rest of my life. The flavor is very umami and go well together. It's such comfort food that's very delicious and not overly seasoned.
The rice pot are signatures: egg plant, beef and salmon are what I tried and all of them are my favorite of the year. You have to mix the rice, then pour the barley tea to sit while you eat, then you have both a rice meal and cozy soup afterwards. The sukiyaki was very good too. It has raw egg dip. It's my first time trying it and I love it so much!
Server was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is decorated very cute in a Korean style. They provide free parking validation on weekday lunch time.

Cathy livia Google Super friendly staff! I tried their signature dishes — steak pot rice, eel pot rice, spicy eggplant pot rice, sukiyaki, and salmon sashimi. The spicy eggplant was just okay (maybe American eggplants are too soft), but the steak and eel pot rice were amazing — tender beef, rich eel, and pickled radish to balance the flavor.
Each dish came with small sides and a fresh, crisp salad I really loved. The salmon sashimi was thick, buttery, and super fresh — great value for only $26! Sukiyaki was light and a bit sweet, perfect for a healthy meal.
Cozy little place with real K-drama vibes — warm food, good mood, and a great spot to unwind after work. 🫶
