DalBam Moon Night
A small Korean pocha (drinking-food pub) on Convoy open until 1am most nights — glowing moon on the wall, soju caps in the woodwork and K-pop videos on loop. The draw is the bossam, marinated boiled pork belly with garlic, jalapeno and radish for wrapping, plus seafood pancake, spicy cheese pork belly, chadol yukgaejang and army stew, all in shareable portions.

Good to know before you go
Cost & paying
- Portions are big and built for sharing; budget about $25-35 a person before drinks
- Staff often bring free corn cheese or dumplings, and there are a few banchan with your meal
Waits & timing
- Open until 1am Tuesday to Saturday and midnight Sunday; closed Monday. Opens at 6pm on weeknights, 5pm Friday to Sunday
- Small room that fills by 7pm and again after 10pm — write your name and number on the waitlist and stay within earshot, since the music is loud
- Often just one server on the floor, so service slows when it is packed; the kitchen sometimes closes before the posted time on slow nights
At the table
- Loud K-pop videos all night — fun for a group, not for a quiet talk
