Hyun Wanner, former co-owner of Kimchi Princess and has opened up a new restaurant near Monbijou Park. The venue he chose was empty for six years before an open kitchen was installed to showcase contemporary Korean cuisine at Dae Mon. Lightly sauteed sashimi-quality yellowtail flown in directly from Japan, served not more than 48 hours after being caught along with freshly grated real wasabi, is truly impressive. Grilled white halibut with crunchy mini calamari on the side served on a bed of pearl barley will knock your socks off. If you’re more into turf than surf, choose between Black Angus or Wagyu, served as a perfect grilled steak, tartar, or bulgogi. Kobe beef sashimi is a must, too. Fresh ingredients from the highest quality is what makes Dae Mon’s dishes so exceptional, allowing them to focus on their natural flavors. The daemon in me is whispering in my ear to go back for more. (Text: Nina Trippel)
