One of Thao Dien's highest-rated Korean restaurants, Dontam takes a quality-over-quantity approach — fewer banchan, more focus on standout mains like the bossam kept warm on a tabletop stove and freshly prepared eel rice with a satisfying crunch. The open kitchen and minimalist space let the cooking speak for itself, with set menus around 700,000 VND offering serious value for the portion sizes. Korean residents vouch for the authenticity, and the friendly staff make walk-ins feel welcome even when the place is packed.
Same as good as Marcel burger, to the taste of fine dining dishes. Nice service, feel at home. Unlike others, a touch of being distant for exclusive service. Soda drinks gifted for reviews. Big portion for 2 as normal size, remember to check with the staff before your order.
You can enjoy full-stomach course with 700,000 VND. Almost all the menu includes meat, it is not a vegetable party. The quantity of the foods were so large, I could not eat them all. But we were enjoying our meal so well, so the kitchen offered us beef tartare free. It will be a good choice to treat someone or invite someone, using less than a million VND.
Best restaurant discover of this year. Food was delicious and very high quality. Open kitchen. Friendly staff and cozy ambiance. We went without a reservation, restaurant was packed but they tried to arrange us a table which we really appreciate. Definitely will come back many many times more.
We tried spicy squid, grilled prok, and pancakes. All dishes were very delectable. 9/10 for the food. The staffs were very friendly, and proactive. Our group had a very great experience dinning here
The Bossam here is amazing; they use a tabletop stove to keep the pork perfectly moist and tender, and the flavor and fat-to-meat ratio are spot-on. We also tried the Octopus Pasta, and wow, it's got a nice spicy kick, but the flavor is deep and complex, probably the best I've ever had. The pricing is a little high, but that's just Thao Dien for you, and the quality totally justifies the cost. I'm definitely planning to go back just to try the grilled eel since it looked delicious!
