I found this Korean restaurant while in the area and decided to check it out. The food completely surprised me! The kimchi is one of the best I’ve ever had, and the galbi (ribs) are marinated in a delicious sauce. I also tried the tofu soup, and it felt like a warm hug—so comforting and homemade-tasting. I loved the flavors so much that I noticed they offered catering. I placed an order, and to my delight, everything was perfectly balanced with plenty of protein. All of my guests loved it! Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.
