Great little hole in the wall place

I wanted a place in Clarksville, halfway between my house and his, where I could meet my dad for my birthday lunch. Based on the reviews here I chose Dae Bok.

Herman runs the front and his mom, a native Korean, does the cooking. He explained that his mom uses jackfruit in place of meat for vegan versions or after just leaves it out. Just ask which dishes can be made this way.

I ordered the bulgogi with jackfruit and my dad had the chicken bulgogi. But he tried and liked the jackfruit as well. We also ordered the yakimandu, fried dumplings.

Meals come with kimchee, made without using fish ingredients, and a bean sprout salad.

We each had enough food to bring home a full second meal. Herman was very friendly and informative. There were a few other customers that came in, plus a few takeout orders, while we were there.

The restaurant is not somewhere you would notice if you were driving by but it is a hidden treasure for sure. There are plenty of options for your vegan tastes as well as your omnivore family and friends.

Pros: Many dishes can be made vegan, Friendly family run business, Large portions

So good!

Family-run hole in the wall spot with amazing vegan options. Vegan dishes weren’t listed on the menu when we visited, but the server gave us a detailed rundown of what could be made vegan and how. Generous portions and very inexpensive. Happy Cow won’t let me give 5 stars for a non-vegan restaurant or I would.

Pros: Portions, Price, Authenticity

LOVE this place!!

SUPER big portions and the nicest family ever runs this little shop. Spoke to the owner and her mother, the cook, the first time I went. The owner is plant based and has many vegan friends. The cook is Korean and she understands English well.

Items can be made vegan and it's so delicious. I always stop here when I get a craving for Korean. The jackfruit and dumplings are highly recommended.

Excellent vegan Korean options

Amazing stop for vegans and the food is beyond delicious!! Dae Bak has authentic Korean food cooked by a Korean grandmother.

Menu includes some of the most popular Korean items, many of which can be veganized. Jackfruit and tofu are always available and more elaborate substitutes can be made with advance notice. Vegan offerings include jackfruit bulgogi (mild or spicy), kimchijeon, kimchi jigae, japchae, jackfruit Korean fried chicken, soybean paste stew, tofu stew, and kimbap. Many of the banchan (side dish) offerings are also vegan and the kimchi is made in-house and always vegan!

Cabbage and cucumber kimchis are available to purchase in bulk.
