Came here on a Saturday evening for the first time. We waited about 5-7 minutes to be acknowledged and seated. We ordered the AYCE dinner and were pretty disappointed. It took about 20 minutes for us to get our meats and sides which seemed entirely too long for menu items we cook ourselves. IMO, the AYCE menu is very limited compared to other KBBQ places I've eaten at. They also don't provide sauce trays like most other places do. They bring out all the meats and sides for the first round, but good luck getting your servers attention to order more. Our server didn't check on us or get our second round order until about 45 minutes into our meal. They only had two servers working on a Saturday night so customer service was seriously lacking. One of the servers were literally running in the establishment which I thought was dangerous and unprofessional, especially around hot grills. They are very strict on their fountain soda policy. Don't get caught sipping from someone's soda at your table or they'll charge you extra. The establishment gets pretty smoky with multiple (not all) grills on. You'll probably have to open the windows yourself because getting a servers attention for that would be unlikely. The parking is limited since the plaza area is pretty small. read more

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - AYCE dinner - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I hadn't been in here in over 20 years as we used to come here from work for lunch in which we would order takeout. My nephew chose this establishment and we had a great experience. We were greeted immediately. Our server was attentive asking if we needed anything everytime he passed by. We ordered the all you can eat meal. The only thing I don't like is if one orders all you can eat then the whole table has to. I'm not a big eater so i only wanted a single meal but i didn't want my nephew missing out what he was craving for so we both had all you can eat. As expected i just ate enough for one dish and let him have the rest and then some. I've heard this happens at all of the Asian restaurants. The food was very good and well seasoned. We also cooked our own food as what's the purpose of going to a Korean bbq? Unfortunately they don't offer military discounts. read more

We went on a Tuesday evening and there was actually quite a few people there. There was only one server but he did great. Every thing was done in a timely manner. We got all you can eat, which we only ordered two extra after the initial meats that came out, and it was just the two of us. The bonchon was great! Along with the usual, they gave us steamed egg and cheesy corn, which both are my favorite. It was a pleasant surprise. Inside felt like a classic Korean pub. Would definitely come again! read more

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

In general, Colorado's KBBQ AYCE scene is still pretty weak even after all these years compared to the LA options. The AYCE menu at Dae Gee is pretty weak. You only get galbi once and the rest are mostly pork belly, chicken, and variations of beef. It doesn't include appetizers like seafood pancake. So unless you love pork belly, I would stay away from it. It's very pricey for what you are allowed to choose from. We opted to order from the menu. I love galbi so that had to be ordered. The other short rib option (don't remember the name) was also added to our order along with shrimp for my mom. Everything we ordered wasn't even offered on the AYCE menu. The galbi is pretty pricey for what we got. It was roughly $35 for a few pieces. I am honestly better off buying it at Costco for more galbi for roughly the same price. Menu is very expensive for the quantity you get. Food was pretty good. The meats were well marinated. The fried chicken was good. The seafood pancake was okay - kinda soft for my liking. I wish it was crispier (could have been thrown in the air fryer). The side dishes were pretty okay. The potato salad was my favorite. The kimchi cucumbers were soggier than I like a the kimchi wasn't my fave. Service was wonderful. There was one person waiting the whole restaurant but maybe they're slower on a Wed. She was very friendly and always smiling. read more

Dae Gee is delicious Korean BBQ I'm all for. They offer an array of appetizers, bon chon (Korean sides) , bee beem bhop, entrees and all you can eat. The all you can eat allows you to cook multiple types of pork, chicken, beef and shrimp on a grill table. You get unlimited bon chon (so many but I really love the pickled radish, fishcakes and cabbage kimchi). You get a bowl of rice (more upon request) as well as steamed egg, chicken dumpling, corn cheese, pineapple and onion. It is a true feast and fun for 2 people or more. They offer beer on tap (several Dae Gee brews) as well as Korean (Kloud is delicious), soju, wine, soft drinks (some Japanese/Korean and coke products) and tea. I want to highlight our server Jookyung who is always friendly, helpful and attentive. She was the only server the last time we went and crushed the multitude of tables at Dae Gee. Dae Gee's phrase is Pig Out and you certainly will! read more

We made a reservation ahead of time and the operator was super nice and accommodating, even when we needed to change it. The food is always fresh and reasonably priced. Just a quick heads-up--if you do the all-you-can-eat option, everyone at your table has to do the same. Other than that, it's always a fun experience here with great staff who make it enjoyable every time. read more

Pros - Brisket (chadol) from the lunch unlimited is good - Attentive service Cons - For our lunch unlimited we were asked to eat a sampler before ordering specific cuts of meat as part of the AYCE (all you can eat). See below summary for more on this - Soups aren't included - Bulgogi could use more flavor - No garlic I was not happy that we were asked to go through the sampler platter that includes samgyupsal, brisket, spicy/non spicy pork and spicy/non-spicy chicken. I don't want to eat chicken at a KBBQ and I don't really care for pork so why does it feel like I need to do some homework/chore before I can order what I want to eat? That is so weird to me. I asked the waitress if she could take back the chicken, which she did. But we still had to eat the pork, and we did not care for it, and if it was up to us we would NOT order it. Our stomach space was wasted on this. Brisket is why we came. Overall there are better KBBQs out there. I would have given it two stars but our service was good and that should be rewarded so I'm adding one more star. read more

This was my second Korean BBQ experience...and my favorite one! The meats and sides were absolutely perfect, and the patio was the most beautiful setting for a team dinner! Our servers were very attentive, even with a few grills going. They even allowed us to move to a bigger table so we could have more grills! Would definitely dine again! read more

One of the BEST Korean BBQ's in Denver!!! We have been to several of their locations- all of these are great. Service is always so friendly and helpful- and they are incredibly kind and fast. Quality of meats and sauces is great! LOVE them and can't wait to come back. read more

Be sure to visit when you are hungry because all you can eat is plentiful and you cannot take any leftovers with you. Rib-eye, pork belly, chicken, spicy pork, brisket, and short ribs (dinner only, one serving) comes with unlimited sides of potato salad, rice, kimchi, daikon, fish cakes, kimchi pancakes and rice. Use onion and pineapple to flavor your grill before placing your meat on it to cook. Service was attentive and fast. When one of our grill tops got too hot and charred, a replacement was brought out. I also like how their water pitchers and glasses are made of stainless steel to keep your beverage cool. Be prepared for meat sweats because DAE Gee's slogan - Pig Out, is no joke. read more

I like this place, the food is delicious, we were given a table pretty fast. I love their side dishes and potato salad is my favorite! Our server was a really nice girl, she was super attentive, but she was changing the temperature of our grill each time the approached us and we had to adjust it back, but she was still nice. Pork belly is good, but short ribs are must try! read more

It has been too long since the last time we had Korean BBQ. We ordered the meal for two which has a variety of BBQ meats to choose from. Pork belly, beef bulgogi, & spicy garlic chicken. Traditional side dishes like white rice, kimchi, pickled radishes, potatoes and broccoli slaw was given to accompany the meats. All of the meats tasted like quality meat that have been marinated in all the essential Korean spices. It was a fantastic experience with service and food. The dining area is clean and provided for spacious seating options. I would definitely come back here. read more

Don't let this humble location's image deter you, this has bumped itself to my top favorite branch! The owner and her daughter are lovely people. I come in and they humor my jagged Korean from wheb I was stationed there for the AF. They are always so friendly AND they will give you EXTRA kimchi if you ask for some. And when I say EXTRA, I mean EXTRA. Much like true Korean culture, whenever our glasses were empty, they come by to offer more SoMek (Soju and Mekchu--beer). I have gone to this branch three times in the span of 8 days. If that does not tell you I'm serious (or that I have a problem), I don't know what will. read more

I think Dae Gee is Ok if you're in the neighborhood and have a craving for Korean BBQ. From reading the other reviews, it does sound like one needs to fully understand the pricing when they're ordering - particularly the AYCE options. I was there for a late lunch, so things were slow. I thought the food was good, the atmosphere Ok, and the service Ok. read more

As a person from a different state, i would be impress with the food, but I think doing it homemade was better. Let start off from reading some of the reviews and trying out this place, i was disappointed. Services was oka i think that as a person coming to try something new they would be happy to help. However, there wasnt any sort of help. Also, the menu was too limited. I think i rather go to a different place. The meat was very limited you can only choose from like 6 items and the meat was very small cuts . The sides we received was oka, i wish there was more sides. The lettuce was a disappointment, it was rotten and the end was bitter. I couldnt eat any of it because it taste very bitter. There wasnt much sauce other then their specialty sauces. The pork belly was so thin and small, the briskets was super thin and small as well. Just a disappointment and i rather go to a different state. I think that it is overpriced for a menu so small. I came with a group of three people and we spent 100, i think its too overpriced and only get gailbee once. That is very upsetting . read more

The staff cheated me out of $19. Fraudulent staff or management. Children's prices on the electronic menu and on their website are clearly $19 for children four through 11. My child was 11 and I was charged double the appropriate price and $38 for an adult. I was there Thursday June 9. I went there on June 10 to get a refund for the $19 they owed me. No manager on duty. They had no idea how to resolve this problem other than to tell me to come back today, June 11. They lose. I'll pay $19 for their one star review for lying to me. I'm not going back for a refund more than one time. read more

Wanted to try a new place for my kbbq fix and this was a perfect find. I like the AYCE option- which was worth it for our group ($38 per person for dinner) who devoured the assortment of meats. The brisket, galbi, and bulgolgi were our favorites. I feel at many kbbq places the service is mediocre -but Dae Gee gets it right - we constantly had servers checking in and refilling our sides and water, which was very appreciated. The sides were pretty good- favorites were the fish cake and radish. Definitely in a happy food coma now. read more

This is a decent Korean BBQ place. They give you a decent number of banchan. They will also give you lettuce, but only if you ask for it. The quality of the meat was good. I was very impressed by the serving staff though. We came at a pretty busy time and was sitted relatively quick. The art of KBBQ service isn't so much about being kind or being attentive, its all about timing your asks. You can't break the flow of grilling and eating, you know what i mean? When you put the last bit of your meat on the grill, they need to be coming by to ask if you want more. This will ensure that you don't sit there will the grill burning with no meat on it. They timed the asks pretty well. All to say, good enough food and good service. read more

They only give 1 slice of galbi PER PERSON for ACYE. If it's ACYE why are you limiting the best part of KBBQ and also giving the skinniest pieces of galbi I've ever seen in my life AND charging $38 PER PERSON before taxes?? INSANE! These prices are higher than California prices!! The way you order is also weird, we did 4 ACYE and they start you off by bringing every single meat on their ACYE menu (tiny selection of only 5 proteins) including the 1 piece of galbi per person and then you can order additional meats, but it's weird because not everyone wants every single meat like the chicken? We did not have time to stop the server and tell them we did not want chicken. Why would you make a restaurant ordering system like that and then tell the customers if they don't finish you'll charge them. Was not a fan of any of their bottled sauces for dipping so I just asked for sesame oil with salt on the side. The food was good but for the extremely hiked up price and limited selection of proteins it was definitely not worth $38. Pass on this spot unless you are from Colorado and have no other option for KBBQ. read more

It's good that there are starter side dishes but i feel it's not restaurant made but store brought. The meat portions is small for the price you're paying person like a hand full for two people for instance 2 slices of pork belly for 2 people. I have my plenty of Korean food. If anyone looking for a awesome Korean place to eat in the east coast I highly recommend Sura AYCE either in Johnston or Boston https://surabbqkorean.com/ read more

My wife and I used to visit this restaurant many years ago when we lived in the neighborhood. Last night we decided to try something different, so we decided on Korean barbecue. We talked about different places to go, and then it was mentioned to go back to the place that we had visited before in our old neighborhood. When we arrived, the parking lot was full , and when we entered, the restaurant was about 65% occupied. we were seated immediately, but it seems that they forgot about us after being sat because it took a little time for someone to come to the table. The waitresses name was Dain, I think she did a great job, she was very informative and knew it very well. For the sitting location that we were at inside the restaurant, it was tucked away. Because each of the tables has its own little barbecue station/cooking fire, it was very warm in this room, and I was sweating. Within about five minutes of ordering our food and drink, the food arrived with all the fixings. we decided to go with all you can eat and the meat selection that they brought out was covered for two people perfectly because by the time we were done, there was only a few pieces left. The only thing that we did not care for was, the ventilation was not very good as the air was not moving. With each table having a cooking station with a flame the area became very warm. I think that if they had fan or some type of ventilation in the ceiling to move the air, I think it would've been more comfortable for us and I'm sure many other people. All the side dishes that come with Korean barbecue were awesome, the fluffy egg that we got in the crockpot or whatever it was was delicious. I don't think I've ever had an egg that way. I ordered extra kimchi, because it was so good and fresh. Our experience was great. read more

Food was average to good. Probably worthy of 4 stars on food alone, but everything is horrendously overpriced. Service was nice. The grilled mackerel was done properly. The bibimbap rice was way too soft/mushy. Short ribs were okay. The pork bulgogi was not what we were used to. Typically i would expect it to be spicier. This one did have some spice to it, but ginger, of all things, was a dominant flavor. That is not typical. The chadol was decent, but they didn't have a good sauce to go with it (should have, for dipping, sesame oil and salt or some mix of soy sauce, water, sugar, and a bunch of other secret ingredients). They provide the tiniest amount of sides. They tasted good, but you have to pay for more and you don't get enough. This is like paying for chips and salsa at a sit down Mexican restaurant. I wouldn't mind going back if people insisted on it, but I wouldn't go back on my own. There is cheaper for better out there. They do have the standard selection of booze available, so good times can be had regardless. read more

This spot has been one of thee best Korean BBQ we have tried in a while Super chill environment Staff was super nice and friendly we finally got to know the names of the sides so thats a plus!

I want to begin by saying that we have never reviewed restaurant service on Yelp before. We are two servers in the industry and are very understanding people. This particular dining experience was so bad I actually feel Inclined to write something. We were sadly pretty surprised by the waitstaff. It was clear they were busy, and as two servers in the industry, we understand being weeded and needing patience from customers. We asked for hot tea at the beginning of service and got asked two separate later times if "we still want it?" Um, yeah that's why we ordered it. At the second time the server asked us, we just said never mind. We went for the all you can eat lunch special and we did not get our value. They didn't replenish things we asked for and we just knew it was a waste of effort to try to ask again or would be met with attitude. The server looked at us when we asked for more meat and said "as you can see I'm really busy right now and it will be later". Again, as two servers form the industry, we understand the need for patience but the attitude from him was super off putting and we didn't want to order anything else despite the fact that we wanted more. We were happy to wait for his service and give him breathing room but he just made us super uncomfortable and unwelcome. We tipped 20% (we normally do more) because, again we are servers, but were reluctant to do so. We are easy to please but we just wanted to leave. Furthermore, we will just be going to Seoul. They never have ruined the dining experience like the service here did. read more

This place was great. We went for a double date and all 4 of us got the unlimited meal. There were so many sides and so much meat to choose from. Most of them were delicious! I really enjoyed the brisket, spare ribs and bulgogi. The pork belly (I think -it's the one that looked like bacon) could be skipped as well as the chicken. The sides were all great, don't know what some of them were, but the yellow one was surprising and delish. The staff was super friendly and definitely made sure we had enough to eat. Will totally go back read more

Came here to celebrate the news that we went under contract a few weeks ago and it was a very enjoyable experience. It has been a minute since I've don't Korean BBQ (well more like 10 years lol) so it was fun to grill my own meats again! We also has soju and beers which were a nice compliment to the meat! All the meats were tasty but I really enjoyed the pork! There's just something about grilling your own meat, it is a fun and yummy experience! Our waitress was also very sweet! read more

This is the second Dae Gee I've been to. I really like this location better than the one in Westminster. It's not that this place is better when it comes to the food, both places are the same. But the atmosphere here is a lot better. I feel like I'm in a little BBQ place in South Korea, or a little BBQ place in Japan. Loved that. Service was great. I think they might've been down a few people but they did their job great! We got the unlimited dinner, $24 a person. Totally worth it. The sides are all great and the meat is fresh and tasty. They changed our grill out without us having to ask, which is awesome service. Some other places don't unless you ask. I loved it. We'll be back again for more delicious food! One last thing, be ready to smell like BBQ when you leave. read more
