dPlace Steak & Pasta

A fusion Korean Italian restaurant in Fullerton with large and clean facility. On weekends, a reservation is highly recommended due to a high demand. Food taste great and a serving robot brings food to your table. Will come back to try other on the menu.

Trendy new restaurant with Korean/Italian fusion foods. We ordered OC Galbi (Korean Style) which was what this restaurant was known for. It was good. Worth the try. What surprised our family was the pork belly chop steak. It was also really good. Thought I read on one of the reviews that the portion size was small for its price so we ordered Jjampong pasta as well as salad. We ended up bringing some home. Definitely worth visiting and we plan to come back next time we are in town.

The hype is real.

Highly recommend both Korean and American style for the OC Galbi. Banchan is not unlimited due to inflation and the use of robot labor.

Service was fast and friendly. They were very accommodating to our two toddlers.

Found this place from social media posts, so we decided to go for brunch. The restaurant looks well kept and like it was newly designed. A fun thing they do is have the food delivered by robots (I forgot to get a pic of the delivery). We had the American Galbi and French Toast dishes and both were delicious.

We had to constantly get our server’s attention to ask for things which was annoying.

Overall I agree with the other positive reviews. Good food and great staff. I found it quirky they sell dippin dots along with Italian/Korean fusion desserts.

Staff: Friendly staff and attentive. They use robots to bring out food. A staff member is usually pretty close behind to transfer to your table.

Atmosphere: Clean and somewhat upscale.

Food: we got the Calamari for appetizer and it was delicious but I could have gone without it because the main dishes were more than enough food. We ordered the Korean style galbi and pork belly with cream sauce pasta. Food came out without a long wait with banchan. Both the pasta and galbi were really good, really balanced each other out and made the meal that much more enjoyable. Kimchi was interesting, it tasted like it had truffle oil? My only complaint is the meat on the bone was really rich and too sweet (personal preference). I felt sad not being able to gnaw away at it. But either way portion sizes were good and my wife and I were full at the end.

Cost: a little on the higher side. I don't see myself coming here regularly but definitely worth a visit.
