Hello and welcome to DaOn restaurant!

Imagine a Korean restaurant in Brunei 35 years ago. You couldn’t perhaps because you were too young or there simply wasn’t any back in the days. Omma (Korean word for mom), who enjoys cooking (and also treating people with food), started cooking for Korean visitors when there were no Korean restaurants back then. She loved sharing home-cooked Korean meals with local neighbours and friends, who would often praise her cooking. And this is how the first Korean diner began over 30 years ago.

Since then, omma’s food was served not only to the past Korean presidents who visited Brunei, but also extended to sports players, actors and singers, and of course the local Brunei crowd over the years. Although the kitchen has relocated a few times along the way, the passion to serve authentic Korean food never ceased. After serving and catering to different functions large and small from a small kitchen at a small stall, it felt like a good time to expand to offer a more diverse range of food in a clean and relaxing dining atmosphere.

Hence, our family-owned restaurant is reborn with the name DaOn, which directly translates to “all good things that are coming”, in hope that all good things will go your way as you dine with us. In order for you to experience a taste of Seoul, we do our best to maintain the authenticity of the dishes. Similarly with the interior of the restaurant, we try to show a traditional Korean design with a hint of modernity to reflect the passage of time. Whether it is a quick lunch or relaxing dinner, we hope to give you the best dining experience with our wide selection of flavourful dishes in a comfortable ambience.

Thank you for choosing to dine with us and we hope you enjoy your meal!
