Danawa — Restaurant in Santa Clara

Hidden place in a strip mall, good place to hang out with friends. It’s a clean place with nice decor and the service is decent. The food is also good for what it is.

I had the soft tofu stew with seafood and really liked it — a lot of squid (so if you’re not into that it might not be for you). I also really enjoyed the spicy squid stir fry.

My friends ordered several soju flavors, corn cheese, fries, clam soup, pork fried rice, and buddae-jjigae. They really liked everything they ordered except for the guava flavored soju.

One thing to note is that if you have a party 6 or greater, then make sure you don’t double tip. There is an automatic gratuity 18% charge AND TIP that may not be immediately obvious on the receipt.

Overall I would return again for the atmosphere and the space. Just be wary of...

We ordered the army stew and fish cakes, two dishes made with cheap ingredients that I usually elect to cook at home because it just doesn't seem worth it to order at a restaurant, especially when sometimes they don't end up tasting that much better, if at all. However, I wouldn't mind paying for it here because they put it together well and it is convenient not to cook.

The fried stuff we tried, gimmari and the seafood pancake were bland and had way too much batter.

There was only one poor guy working the front but he really tried. The atomsphere is loud, dark, and we couldn't find him half the time. There are also black curtains around some tables and cardboard cutouts for kpop idols...

A Very cool korean late night music bar in Santa Clara. I visited after a long shopping day with friend. I was delightful to have hot nice food at 9:30 pm. We were quick seated after arriving.

Military soup: it is a pretty good one, the largest portion soup in the restaurant. I had it a lot back to college. It tastes still as good as it was ! Spicy Kimchi soup base mixed with sausages, spams, veggies, and pork.

Kimchi pork fried rice: I love it with pork and one egg in the top! It is definitely delicious! The kimchi mixed pretty well with the rices!

I gave 5 stars because I like it a lot ! I gave credits for...
