My daughter brought me here for dinner and I must say that it did not disappoint! Food was great and the music wuz bumpin' The only issue was parking since it is on the very busy Colorado Blvd read more

Came here for the AYCE Korean BBQ with low expectations and was still disappointed. AYCE joints in LA set the bar high and we knew Denver would never be able to compete, but we still expected slightly better. First off, selection is limited, only 5 or 6 meats. They didn't have any sauce besides their Dae Gee bottled korean bbq sauce (mild and spicy) and salt+oil. The brisket and pork belly are unmarinated and so that's all you have to pair it with. Secondly, portions were small. There were 5 of us and they kept bringing us plates with 5-8 pieces of meat. Enough for us to each have one piece, maybe two if someone decided not to eat a piece. They brought us 2 lettuce leaves for the lettuce wraps for 5 people. Were we supposed to share leaves? Third, quality of the meat was not great. The pork belly was frozen pretty solid. The brisket was all fat and literally melted into nothing on the grill. It never crisped up, what little meat remained tasted like cardboard. I will say that their marinated meats were better, but we couldn't seem to get enough of it to go around due to their portion control issues. Lastly, service wasn't great. They were friendly and accommodating when you could find them, but they were often in the back or at the other end of the dining area. Not great when you're giving us dinky little plates of meat and we need to order every 5 minutes. They were trying, but they were always busy. Perhaps allowing them to serve bigger plates of meat would mean they would have to run to the back less often? It's possible their non-AYCE options are better, but I wouldn't recommend this place for AYCE KBBQ. Unfortunately, we were trying to introduce some people to the wonderful world of KBBQ and I don't think they enjoyed it enough to come back. read more

Went for lunch and it was just okay. It was overpriced for such a small portion of dark meat chicken. I would have expected to pay a max of $10 for what I received at lunch time. I can't complain about the service though, as they were quite friendly. I won't go back just because of the value. I would like to try some other Korean BBQ joints; just not this one. read more

I saw Dae Gee on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and really looked forward to trying their food. As I write this, I know I'm going against public opinion, But..... I came alone so that might have been the problem. I wanted to grill my own Meat but the person that greeted me as I entered kept telling me I should sit at the counter. I said no, I really want to BBQ and again she said the counter would be better. I do understand that one person at a grill cuts down on their opportunity to make money, so I sat at the counter. I ordered and got all of the "all you can eat sides" which I did enjoy, however I was only asked once if I wanted more. So it turned out to be "only what they wanted me to eat" I waited at least ten minutes for my check which totaled $19.44. I was somewhat disappointed and don't recommend this Restaurant. read more

We decided to try DAE Gee today on our way home from the CC Arts festival. The weather was great and they have a patio...except we weren't allowed to eat on their patio (yes, it has tables) because they aren't licensed for it (?). Still wanting to give them a try, we went inside but after a minute we had to leave. The music was deafening-couldn't hear myself think or anything that was said. Double fail today. read more

This is our first time eating Korean food and at a Korean bbq place. The guy was helpful, answered questions and explained the food and how to cook it. We ordered the unlimited so we were able to get what sides we wanted and more beef and chicken. We survived two rounds. The meat was great with the bbq sauces provided. Some sides were delicious and other sides needs getting use to. I recommend this place for a small sit down bbq. Nothing too fancy. read more

It was not clean, customer service was not great and the food was not up to par. Used to be great back in 2017- would not return especially for the price you pay to get the service and the food you receive. read more

ALL YOU CAN EAT!! a few choice of pork, chicken and beef. order the one you like and keep ordering it till you are FULL!! There is plenty of time between they bring you the meat so watch the fire! read more

I love Dae Gee for the all you can eat BBQ, but this time around, I tried something off of the menu. I started my meal with the seafood pancake. Do yourself a favor and get literally any other pancake on the menu. The seafood was incredibly chewy and not good. For my meal, I ordered the Bimbimbap in a hot pot. It was not nearly as good as its been in the past. The hot sauce barely tasted like anything, and there was hardly any short rib (the meat I chose) in my dish. I will certainly be back, but only for the cook yourself BBQ. read more

I don't understand why so many reviews for this location act like it's an unpleasant or confusing experience. I came here with my best friend to celebrate my birthday. It was just me and him on a weekday around 7:30 pm. We both got all you can eat, which is $24 per person. You get a variety of sides and meats. Galbee is included once. The portion is fairly generous. You pay extra if you want more of that one, but the rest of sides and meats are included. Service was fast, attentive, and friendly. We never felt like we were lacking anything. One thing to note is that we did not find parking to be the easiest. read more

We were looking for a conveniently located place to take my in-laws for Korean food. This place fit the criteria. We experience excellent and quick service and tasty food. Very reasonable prices. read more

I have been to Dae Gee 15-20 times now b/c I LOVE Korean BBQ. Dae Gee is probably 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up likely because of a bias towards Korean food, and the people there are super nice. With any entree or all-you-can eat BBQ, you get unlimited rice and sides. The sides are delicious. My favorites are the broccoli, marinated beef, fish cakes, and pancakes. But friends of mine love the kimchee and others. Plus, the sides and rice adds up to basically an extra meal. I usually order an entree and then take the entree home because it's so much food. We have ordered several different entrees at Dae Gee: - Unlimited BBQ or individual BBQ dishes: The unlimited BBQ where you cook at the table is a lot of fun. I especially love the bulgogi (beef, pork, or chicken), but most of them are tasty. I'm actually not a big fan of the Galbee (beef short ribs) because I find them tough, which works out because it's much more expensive than the rest of the options. - Gook: Beef broth soup with veggies, herbs, brisket, and dumplings/rice cakes. I found this soup to be pretty tasteless. The dumplings and veggies are tasty though. If you want something light, this is a fine option, but don't expect a burst of flavor. - Bee Him Bhop: By itself, this dish isn't super exciting, but has a nice variety of veggies and sauce. You really have to add meat to make the dish. I also usually add some of their homemade BBQ sauce for more flavor. - Soon Dobu Cheegae: Bold flavors and delicious. Also pretty spicy, but perfect amount in my opinion. If you don't like spice, don't get this though. The lunch prices are also more reasonable, so go for lunch if you can. But given the unlimited rice and sides, dinner prices aren't bad. Also, unless you eat A LOT, you don't need to get the unlimited BBQ. If you order the same number of entrees as people, or even one less, you'll be fine, and you'll save a bunch of money. read more

I got the all you can eat BBQ when I came here. The all you can eat special gives you six different kinds of meat, five of which you can order again an unlimited amount of times. The L.A. galbee is the only one that you are not allowed to order a second time. I particularly enjoyed the pork bulgogi, brisket, and L.A. galbee. All the meat was extreamly flavorful and tender. When I came here when they were not busy at all, yet it took my party a long time to be served. Once we were served our waiter would come by infrequently so it was hard to order aditional meat. We could have really bennefited from a clean grill but were not offered one and were too afraid of how long the process might take to ask. Another dampener was that when we reordered brisket we found that it came out frozen. I don't believe that this affected the taste but it was a little jarring to realize that not all the meat was fresh. Overall, the food was delicious but the customer service really deminished my experience. read more

Dae Gee Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Been rolling around what to say about Dae Gee for some time. Read some reviews that seem to match my thoughts perfectly, and others that make me wonder if they went to the wrong restaurant. My girlfriend is pretty into Asian cuisine, especially Korean food as a whole. I LIKE the majority of Asian cuisine I've tried: Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, but I haven't forayed into the Korean food scene much. Finally have (as shown in multiple other reviews), but Dae Gee was my first as a whole really in town. Been in a few times now, but the first was for AYCE BBQ. Cause, man, sometimes... you are friggin' starving, and the only thing that with sate your hunger is stacks upon stack upon goopy stacks of marinated meats and sauces. Yeah yeah yeah, it is a bit pricey, but honestly, look at what you are getting: short ribs (ain't cheap, brisket (ain't cheap), ribeye (ain't cheap), chicken (cheep cheep), pork belly, and pork bulgogi. It is a large variety of pretty decent cuts of meat, and as much as your heart desires... or at least as much as your arteries can bear. Oh, the short ribs are not AYCE, but whatever, plenty to enjoy. I like cooking my own BBQ stuff at the table. It's fun, a unique experience, and sort of prolongs the meal, so when you're in good company, it makes for a longer evening of enjoyment. Plenty of sauces to choose from, and tastes to create. Yum. They also have an unlimited variety of sides that come with your meal. The seaweed is crazy good, I have considered eating that as a meal in and of itself, but that would back me up worse than Eastbound I-70 on a Sunday afternoon during ski season. Few different styles of kimchi, some nice potatoes, and a few other random dishes, that are way tasty. I've also had the non-AYCE BBQ options. The hot Bee Bim Bop is good, but I prefer the non-hot variety. Tons of goodies in the bowl, plenty of meats if you so desire, and rice rice rice. Good rice. I tried their tofu, and it is the only thing I did not like here. It wasn't marinated, sauced, or fiddled with it all. It was plain, cold tofu. Not getting that again, I'll stick to the meats LIKE I SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE FIRST DAMN PLACE! Tried soju, never had it... awesome. They have their own beer as well, tasty and goes well with all. Their service method is a bit unique: you don't have a set server. Rather, the entire staff on the dining floor will swing by, check in, bring more food, clear plates, take orders, etc. Makes service faster in my opinion. Either way, this was a great introduction to Korean food as a whole. I have tried the less-Westerner-friendly spots in town, and I am glad I experience a much more introductory venue such as Dae Gee before trying them. Good spot. Great spot. Tasty spot. read more

Was having inappetence and I am so glad that I decided to go to Dae Gee. Moment I stepped in, inappetence gone ! Previously I had their bbq at the Sheridan boulevard location and opted for the entrees this time instead. The pancake was the best I've had ... And mind you, 'I love Korean food' is an understatement for me. Try the pancake for the appetiser... You won't be disappointed. I also had the chicken bulgogi and seafood soon do fu. The chicken was tender and well grilled but I've to admit, it's not the the best I've had. The soon do fu was good but not the best I've tasted either. There is a family owned Korean restaurant in aurora that perfects those two dishes but unfortunately, loses to Dae Gee for the Korean pancake. Swift, friendly service and affordable meals as well. Does it serve the best Korean meal in Denver...? Nope.. But it is above average for sure :) read more

I've had my fair share of Korean food, was this the best, no, but it was still good. We went for the unlimited everything (chicken, beef, brisket, pork) option which was $22 a person. You get a lot of food for that price (hence the unlimited). My favorite is beef bulgogi. I wish I would have stuck with what i knew and loved and went with the unlimited beef bulgogi and shipped the other meats. The unfortunate thing at this restaurant is you must finish everything before you can choose the option you want. So we had to eat the pork prior to getting more beef. None of us were big fans of the pork, but we still had to force it down to get more oh the good stuff. so if you're like me and know what you like already, stick with that unlimited plate. read more

This was my first experience with Korean BBQ. And may I say that this is THE place you want/need to go if you've never been there. From our waitress down to our food everything was awesome. And there was a lot of unique sides to try. The meat was great. I loved being able to cook it myself. Not an awful long cook time for anything either. The only thing I would change is their beer selection. It's very limited and what they had I was not all that fond of. 10/10 still recommend going. read more

The food is awesome, and the have some vegan options for some dishes but I don't know how to feel about the service. I came there alone because I was traveling by myself and when I came in and told them to get a table for one, the staffs giggled and kind of laugh which made me so uncomfortable. Andddd, how they treat me in compare to a white family is also different and it was so obvious to see (I'm an Asian). So, no matter how good the food is but with such service, I'm sorry but not gonna come again. read more

I love this place. It's like being transported to LA Korean BBQ restaurant. So good all you can eat way to go! If you don't like spicy stay away from the marinated meats. Great customer service! Customer for life! Sides & meats are amazing. read more

I just finished my lunch.. everything is only ok. But when we almost finish my meal, I saw a women waiter take a tray, there are some finished plate and a bowl of white rice, And,and,and..she drop the rice into the rice pot(the machine keep rice warm).. what? What? I still eat rice ... maybe they think people doesn't touch the rice, but who knows?? Looks like no touch means nothing!!! Never come back this dirty place! Awful! read more

Dae Gee Korean BBQ - Awful place.see the women drop one bowl of rice into there which people may touch once but they don't like.. - Korean Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The food was okay unless you got the unlimited meat. I expected more craft from a restaurant visited by Diners Drive Ins and Dives.

They tried to steal from me. Watch your credit charges. Everything about my experience here was terrible and I just tried to leave and forget about it. Then I find extra credit charges and no response when I tried calling. My experience started by calling ahead for a table to see if it was busy. After being told that we could be seated right away, we waited 20-30 minutes to be seated after arriving and had to find someone to ask what was happening. Once seated it took another 15 minutes to get our food order in and they never came back with our drinks. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but as the restaurant started clearing more the lackluster service we had got worse. We tried to get more meat to use on the grill but our waiter forgot about us and we had to find someone else to help. For the next round, we could barely cook the meat because they left the grill dirty and burnt. We saw our waiter twice the entire night and had to ask anyone else if we saw them for some service. I thought about walking out on the check because it definitely was not worth the money. I paid the bill and left upset, just ready to forget about the experience. Then I find that my credit charge is much larger than what I had paid. I called to speak to a manager for an explanation, but they never got back to me. Absolutely unbelievable. read more

Went to eat food here with my family and after we paid and left, the server woman came running after us to the parking lot with the receipt in her hand with a pen demanding a higher tip than I had already given her, stating that she worked hard serving us and needed a higher percentage because a 20% tip was not enough. I've never seen or heard of anybody doing this, this was extremely unprofessional and rude of her and I was embarrassed in front of my family that she would even suggest me not tipping enough. Do not go here solely because of the service that could ensue like this. read more

This place is ok but I don't think it can compare to Seoul BBQ in Aurora. 1) Side dishes are very limited. They brought out like 4 , and they aren't really good . Seoul BBQ would bring out 20 different side dishes 2) their all you can eat meat choices are limited, especially their LA Kalbee is not unlimited . Although I cannot fault them for that since LA Kalbee is expensive , I totally get it! for $21 all you can eat, can't really expect all you can eat Ribs . You get one strip of the rib per person . You can get unlimited beef brisket and the Bulgogi and spicy pork and chicken . Their Spicy Pork is decent . The flavor is there 3) The tofu soup was a little bit tasteless. I am so used to the delicious deep flavor of that soon dobu Tofu soup at Seoul BBQ, so this one didn't meet my expectation. 4) there was a very friendly waitress , we really liked her , but there's one that got kinda irritated when we asked to change the grille. She said " that's what happens when you turned the grill on high" Well , understood but , but the meat didn't cook because it was not hot enough, so can we please get another grille and call it done ?? ;) ! I didn't say that to her but .. yeah .. so wanted to tell her that ;) I'm going to stay with Seoul BBQ .. read more

I have been to this spot several times since it opened on Colorado and it consistently is like a 4 when it comes to food and a 2 when it comes to service. Now with service, the people that work there are really nice, but they don't have a sense as to how to make it more of a dining experience. Example: we ordered a seafood pancake for an appetizer, a bee bim bhop, and a bulgogi at the same time.... And the seafood pancake, bee bim bhop, and bulgogi all came out at the same time.... And it took like 25 or 30 minutes. Now, I don't have a problem with the entree taking like 25 or 30 minutes, that isn't so bad, but when you are ordering an appetizer and you get those unlimited sides, it would have been helpful to get the appetizer first as it was around 7pm, we were hungry and it's an appetizer. The other frustrating thing about the service is that in all of the previous times I went there, they served the bulgogi with lettuce wraps. A big reason why I get that as opposed to getting a rice dish like bee bim bhop is I want to limit how much starch I eat. This time, they brought no lettuce wraps and when I asked if it comes with lettuce wraps they said "it normally does not".... So I am supposed to just eat a pile of meat straight up? I don't buy it. That being said, the actual food is great. I have had the Bee Bim Bhop (get it in the stone bowl for $1 more), I have had the L.A. Galbee, the Bulgogi, and the Brisket (all really good). I have never done the unlimited meats because for a while they didn't offer it, also because I don't want to cook my own meat at a restaurant, and I don't want to overeat. Food-wise I would recommend to others, but don't expect much as far as the service goes. If they could figure that aspect of the restaurant, this would be one of the best places in town for the price. read more

Yes, I am Korean. Yes, I am from California. No, no one in the world cooks as well as my mother. But preparation & consumption of food isn't just an exercise in mimicry. Sometimes, when you're sick and down and weak and feeling lonely, all you want in the world is the smell of something that tastes like comfort. Obviously, kalbee and bulgogi are the draw here, as with most Korean restaurants, but earlier this week, 26 hours into summer-cold misery, I went straight for the kalbee tang (beef soup with kalbee, eggs, and vermicelli noodles) and it was glorious. It was exactly the brothy, savory, bone-warming goodness that I craved. The abundant pieces of kalbee were tender and toothsome, and it was better medicine than anything that can be found in a pharmacy. read more

Great place... I stop by for lunch Great $ for huge meal/bowl and never ending little sides ( refill for free!) I was by my self...So I choose to seat at the bar-I'm glad they offer this option! Great customer service... Delicious,fresh and unique taste of Korean kitchen... Parking can be hustle but what you expect if you in Denver Metro area just get used to it! I enjoyed my lunch time like never! read more

It just wasn't impressive on any points, and lacked many things. The selection includes choice of only 4 meats, and the only good one, the short rib, you only get one plate of. In an unlimited bbq. There are 3 sauces to choose from, but there was no salt or other flavors if you don't like spicy sauce. The service was good, however. read more

They are generous with their sides aka banchan. They always ask you for more and please keep it this way! The service has always been friendly and speedy. The down side is even if you order galbee, they only give it to you once. I don't like feeling restricted but I understand that they do it because they would have people coming in eating piles of it and screwing the chain over. Sometimes I think they put the grill on too high because the grill plate does end up badly burned. read more

See coming from Los Angeles, All You Can Eat KBBQ is king. Head on over to Korea town and you will see a plethora of korean bbq places. Even on the outskirts of Los Angeles there are plenty of korean bbq places. My gf and I eat kbbq on a regular basis. We have tried it all, from your cheap $9.99 places to your mid range $20 -$25 per person. We leave the place in a good mood if their service was good and if their meat was tasty as well. Now you're reading this, thinking what the hell does this have to do with Dae Gee? A korean bbq in Denver? Well its safe to say that DAE GEE compares to some korean bbq places in Los Angeles. The service was good. We came 30 minutes before closing on a Sunday night. I dont know if that was the owner or manager that greeted us and sat us down. He explained to us, just in case we didn't know how it worked. For a korean bbq spot in Denver I was pleasantly surprised. One thing for the owner though: YOU MUST HAVE BRISKET SAUCE! read more

I've been here twice with Cyn. The first time here I had the bibimbap and the second time had the dolsoht. I have to agree with Cyn that the dolsoht with the crunchy rice really takes the food to another level. I always opt for a fried egg, as the thought of a runny egg makes me ill. I also like the tray of Korean veggies. The potato salad was delish. Some of the veggies are pickled or are spicy. The spicy ones are out of my taste palette, but others seem to enjoy. I also like that you can get refills on the veggies, which is nice as well. The prices seem reasonable and the servings are a little larger, so I have enough for lunch the next day. read more

I wanted to like this place, God knows I did. I just couldn't get over the poor quality in comparison to San Diego and SOCal. Full disclosure: I grew up in a blended family with a Korean step mum and spent every Sunday chowing down on some home cooking, so my standards are admittedly high. However, this place was just sad in terms of banchan selection and meat quality. I stopped in with a friend for dinner on a Monday night, we were the only one's there (not a good sign), ordered the dinner combo. This place is odd in the fact that the banchan is not prepared before sitting at the table. Every Korean BBQ I've been to stateside and in Korea has the table prepared before sitting (nitpicking perhaps). Once seated we told the waitress we wanted the dinner combo, she said ok and left to get the banchan. I had to explicitly ask for barley tea, something that should come standard on the table preferably in a pot. Once she brought the banchan which was lackluster to say the least she just walked away. I flagged her down to ask about ordering particular meat and she explained that at Dae Gee a first order comes out with a bit of everything then you can order particular cuts. I usually wouldn't mind this approach, but I had no desire for their chicken, but was told you couldn't change the order. What we got for $22/person: -chewy under seasoned chicken - poor quality pork bulgogi - decent beef bulgogi but too sweet - Kabli was decent, but you only get one order on the combo - Overly fatty beef Banchan: - Potato salad - sugar laced fried seaweed (where is my fresh salad?) - Kimchee - Daikon - fishcake - had to ask for beansprouts (not typically served) - Cucumber Kimchee - "Korean Salad"- some sort of lettuce mixture doused in something sweet I was expecting better meat with some sort of squid or octopus option and the banchan should have had some sort of japchae for sure and more pickled options. The point of banchan is to add variety of texture and flavor.....which didn't really happen. I will say the one good thing about this place was the awesome waitstaff who were friendly and helpful. The Banchan dishes never stayed emptied and the staff anticipated reorders very well. I know this is Colorado and not Korea or SoCal, but Dae Gee could definitely step up the authenticity and quality of ingredients. I might go back for lunch if I really had a craving, but to be honest...I could do better at home with some ingredients from the market. . read more

Pig out! I love Dae Gee and stoked that they have locations in Denver now. It looks like they revamped their menu recently but they still have all the goodies. I wasn't crazy about this location, staff seemed a little frazzled and it just didn't have a warm, inviting feel like the Westminster location but I guess they are just catering to the crowd that lives around here. That being said, the food is absolutely amazing and Dae Gee is still my fave spot for Korean in Denver. You can get single portions of bulgogi, spicy pork, galbee, shrimp, etc or for about $4 more, get the unlimited portion. The only caveats to that is that everyone at your table has to be down for that option as well then the real fun begins and you get to grill up everything at the table. The sides are baller as well and one of my favorite parts because they are so varied and FREE unlimited portions! From potato salad to fish cakes to steamed broccoli and of course, kim chi, you really have it all. It's easy to fill up on a single portion of bulgogi and the sides. Too easy actually......I was so full throughout the night I could barely sleep because I had too much (gluttony, party of one). Stop here if you want legit Korean! read more

They wouldn't seat me at a buffet table because I was a party of one and most of their burners were down. I understand that things happen and they're a business, but the waiter was completely unapologetic and blamed his manager for the situation. The waiter hands me the menu lunch side up (it was 12:30) and I ordered off the lunch menu. I get the check and they charged me the dinner price. I asked the waiter about it and he says they don't offer lunch on weekends. I ask why he put the menu lunch side up and rather than saying something along the lines of "I didn't do that intentionally, I'm sorry if that mislead you" he just says "I didn't" with a condescending tone. Everyone except this waiter makes mistakes. read more

I've been telling anyone that would listen that a genuine Korean restaurant sited somewhere in Denver's city limits would KILL IT, so damn straight I'm going to give Dae Gee a good review. I'm sick of people telling me that Uoki is a Korean restaurant, and Kiki's, while good, is not Korean but Japanese even though the chef may be. If I can save the half hour drive out to Aurora for some authentic Korean food, you already are tops in my book. And the food is certainly good. My wife and I had a tofu jigae (stew) and the pork bulgogi. Both were fine. The pork could have been cut a bit more finely; it was thick and big slices of pork shoulder which are a bit unwieldy to tear apart with your teeth and chopsticks. But it was well spiced and charred. It will be all to the good when the restaurant gets permission to install the table top grills. I also loved the service there. It's a bunch of young Asian servers in black tshirts who are bit informal but certainly fun and friendly. Sure beats the surly wait staff you get in some of the Korean restaurants of Aurora. When you leave full and sated from a meal at Dae Gee, you'll wonder to yourself, "Why didn't someone think of that earlier?" Exactly. read more

I don't know what happened to this place but it is certainly not the same as it used to be. I really liked the food here but now not so much. Their menu is really sparse now. I ordered bee beem bhop since it's one of the only non BBQ items left on their menu. I chose seafood as the protein. When my food finally arrived (they were woefully understaffed) there maybe 3 shrimp (tiny 1/4") and a couple tiny pieces of calamari. The dish was so bland I had to drown it with sauce. When I got the check they changed me $3 extra for the hot stone bowl that it was served in. I did not request this bowl it just came that way. So now I have to pay $18 for a bland bowl of rice and vegetables with the tiniest portion of meat. Their dumplings $6 for 4 dumplings. My wife and I ended up paying $55 plus tip for 4 dumplings and 2 bee beem bhop and 2 ice teas. I won't be going there again. There are many better options for Korean food in the city. read more

I'm holding off on more stars until after I've visited a few more times. My friends and I came here after meeting up for an intense work out. We were HUNGRY. We shared appetizers... man doo and the veggie pajeon. Both were delicious. I think the dumplings (man doo) were a great deal (6 for $4). In addition, tons of free side dishes, like the delicious kim chee (delightfully crisp), marinated beans, potato salad, sesame broccoli, and a few others. (get free refills - you might have to ask) All of us ordered bibimbap. My friends ordered Kalbi bibimbap; I had my heart set on dolsot bibimbap (with beef) and the fried egg. I had enough will power to let the hot stone bowl do it's job and had the crispy rice to mix in. Perfect ratio of veggies and meat. I wish I had used more of the sauce. Beware - it's a big portion. I had enough leftover for a large lunch the next day. Can't wait to come back to try chigae, japjae, and other yummy dishes. read more

I was a fan of the original dae gee over in westminster and was pretty excited when I found out they'd be opening another location only a few blocks from my house. However, I refused to go until they had grill tables installed. The first year (and change) they were open and operated as a standard restaurant... not a korean bbq. Finally they got tables installed so I strolled by. OK we made one fatal mistake and it was a first for me as well. We got seated at one of the electric grill tables. Don't do it. Say you'll wait for a gas table. It's a trap. The gas grill tables have a large hood over them on the ceiling. The electric tables do not. The electric tables have a cute red glow like you're cooking with a light bulb a la easy-bake oven. Too bad it takes 4x as long to cook meat compared to a traditional gas grill. Seriously, we'd put meat down, take a stroll through the neighborhood, stop for a sandwich on the way back, sit back down, read a book, write an amazon review, and then finally it might be time to flip the meat over. It's hard to get the characteristic char marks as the heat is just so pathetic. Fool me once... Anyways, the sides are fantastic and I had several orders of kimchi and pickled veggies. I will come back, but will skip out on the george foreman grilling experience. read more

This is my third trip here, the experience was horrible. Overall, I think their food is above average, but their service is terrible! terrible! ! Terrible!!! I took my girl tonight to this place for the $21 unlimited meal. We entered here at 8:07pm. People are waiting in line for the bbq table, we were fine if our bbq cooked in the kitchen. There fore, we got seated at a regular table at 8:17. NOBODY noticed us until 8:43pm. We don't even have water. You cannot find anyone walked around the floor and serve our section. After we meet with our server, we told her we want to do the unlimited meal. Then she said she need to check with kitchen to see if they still can serve it due to the busy hours. However, she was gone for another 10 mins. And then she told us we cannot do the bbq on the regular table. We can only order the regular menu or get back to line to wait for another bbq table. Me and my girlfriend just decided to leave. It took them 40 mins to tell us they can not serve us. By the time we were out, lots of the places are closing. All my appetite are ruined. Who would not be mad if the restrains the can treat customers like this???!!!!! I don't blame the servers at all. They all hard working people. But, the management team need to know that over hiring is the basic way to keep the quality service. Especially people think you are a good place the and love your food. read more

If you want good Korean food search no more! This place has it all when it comes to Korean dishes. Everything was great. The only downside is they are a little pricey. But most Korean places are. I loved the sea food pancake and the bipimbop. We must come here more often. read more
