I feel compelled to express my utter disappointment from the poor service I received today at Dae Gee Korean Restaurant. Victoria rushed with my order as if the restaurant was completely full during lunch hour while it was not. Only 8 people were having lunch with 2 servers. I took notice of how much more time and the manner in which other parties were treated with smiles of which I did not receive. I was patronized by another younger waitress in regards to Korean cuisine for a particular dish my mother cooked in my childhood. I am very familiar with Korean cuisine having not only being born in Seoul, Korea; yet also being raised on Korean cuisine all my life. When I mentioned my dismay of the service I received, Victoria not only denied how poorly she treated me, she also accepted no responsibility for her poor behavior. She raised her voice at me in front of the other parties and threatened to leave me a bad review where I work (I wore work scrubs) when I am a doctorate level medical professional who serves patients with every fiber of my being with love and compassion. She treated me "less than" without any hesitation. I simply stated, I'm not satisfied with my meal and how I am being treated. Perhaps it would taste better if I didn't feel as such." She replied with, "Maybe you should come back on Sunday and try a different cook." I wanted great service then and did not want to come back on a particular day. Great service should be given everyday. I even took it upon myself to leave some form of a tip and she stated, "Your tip is not welcome and not worth anything." I have dined at Dae Gee for years even before it was acquired from previous ownership. With the aforementioned explanation, I ask the public to take caution upon considering whether to dine or not at Dae Gee Korean Restaurant. 나는 오늘 Dae Gee 한식당에서받은 열악한 서비스에 대한 나의 완전한 실망을 표현해야한다고 느낍니다. 빅토리아는 점심 시간에 식당이 완전히 가득 찬 것처럼 내 주문으로 돌진했습니다. 8 명만이 2 대의 서버로 점심을 먹고있었습니다. 나는 얼마나 더 많은 시간과 다른 당사자들이 내가 받지 못한 미소로 대하는 방식에 주목했습니다. 나는 어린 시절에 어머니가 요리 한 특정 요리에 대한 한국 요리와 관련하여 다른 젊은 웨이트리스에 의해 후원 받았다. 나는 한국 서울에서 태어난 것뿐만 아니라 한국 요리에 매우 익숙합니다. 그러나 또한 평생 한국 요리에서 자랐습니다. 내가 받은 봉사에 대한 실망을 언급했을 때, 빅토리아는 그녀가 나를 얼마나 가난하게 대했는지 부인했을 뿐만 아니라 그녀의 가난한 행동에 대한 책임도 받아들이지 않았습니다. 그녀는 다른 당사자들 앞에서 나에게 목소리를 높였고 내가 사랑과 연민으로 내 존재의 모든 섬유로 환자에게 봉사하는 박사 수준의 의료 전문가 일 때 내가 일하는 곳 (나는 작업 스크럽을 입었다)을 남기겠다고 위협했다. 그녀는 주저없이 나를 "덜"대우했습니다. 나는 단순히 내 식사와 내가 어떻게 대우 받고 있는지에 만족하지 않는다고 말했다. 아마 내가 그렇게 느끼지 않으면 더 맛있을 것입니다." 그녀는 "일요일에 다시 와서 다른 요리사를 시험해 봐야 할 것"이라고 대답했습니다. 나는 그때 훌륭한 서비스를 원했고 특정 날에 돌아오고 싶지 않았습니다. 훌륭한 서비스는 매일 제공되어야합니다. 나는 심지어 어떤 형태의 팁을 남기기 위해 나 자신을 데려 갔고 그녀는 "당신의 팁은 환영받지 못하고 가치가 없다"고 말했다. 나는 이전 소유권에서 인수되기 전에도 Dae Gee에서 몇 년 동안 식사를했습니다. 앞서 언급한 설명과 함께 대중에게 대기 한식당에서 식사를 할지 말지 고민할 때 주의를 기울여 주시기 바랍니다. read more

Went here to show my friend Korean bar b que for the first time. The decor was inviting and modern, rave reviews were hung on the walls. I was hoping that was a good sign I picked a good place. They even had a pig as a mascot for the restaurant. We sat quickly and it was a typical, order proteins raw, cook yourself setup. Kim chi dishes that came out were fresh and crispy with the right amount of spice. Proteins were well marinated and delicious. The only drawback is that there was a limit to orders of certain proteins, 2 per person. Otherwise, still a great Korean bbq spot. read more

Dae Gee Korean BBQ has great food, good service, and an attractive, fun atmosphere. The waitress is always helpful, including looking out for our grandson and anticipating our needs. The side dishes are colorful and interesting. read more

Great food and great service! Had a great time here with my wife and came back with my friends. It's definitely recommended. Only bummer is the smoke. If you have asthma, you may struggle if another table starts smoking up the place by leaving food on the burner too long. I would recommend upgrading the ventilation. But other than that. Super happy and will return. But for now during pandemic land, I DoorDash it and it's not as great, but that's DoorDash's fault. read more

We went there for dinner. They automatically charged us 18% gratuity, but no one noticed us, probably expecting double tipping. Something that's really wired was that our banking app told us someone is trying to enter the wrong password for our debit card, the debit card should request a pin but why she's entering by herself instead of let us enter the pin? We ended up paying with cash. Anyways, the all you can eat will give you a huge "simple" of everything instead of let you pick your own choice. The server did show us some disrespectful attitude, I hope it's not because of our race since it's a Korean restaurant. read more

The lunch AYCE is a very mediocre experience and I came in with low expectations. They give you very little sides but they do replenish them a little if you run out. The meat was okay, nothing great and there are no short-ribs for lunch. The kimchi was pretty soggy and sad. Overall disappointed after paying $25. My water was also dirty when they brought it out - I'm not sure what that was about. No Gochujang in sight, just some watery squirt bottles of bbq sauce. If you've eaten Korean BBQ in California or Las Vegas, your money will be better spent elsewhere. Update: My stomach hurts a lot and I regret going here. read more

My family and I have eaten here a few times. We tip well, we've all worked in restaurants so we understand how it is. Tonight they were rude to us the moment they sat us. I'm very disappointed in the service. There's other Korean BBQ places nearby that are cheaper, and a hell of a lot more respectful. We won't be back. read more

Baxter and I went to Dae Gee at 3 in the afternoon. We had to wait a little bit to get seated but there was only one server so we understood. We got the unlimited Korean BBQ. Our grill was turned on fast, but was not oiled well so our food stuck to the grill and it got burnt. The quality of our food was good, but after a while we could no longer cook because the grill was too charred. Over all we had a good experience. read more

It was pretty good. The quality of the meat could have been better for the price of the all you can eat. Also for that price you should be able to take the leftovers to a certain extent. But all and all a nice experience. read more

We came here to celebrate a friends birthday. Well not that we really have to have a reason to try a new restaurant. We had made reservations for a grill table. Our friends were late but thankfully they seated us right away. While we waited we ordered the steamed egg. It took a long time to come and when it came it was just ok. It had green onions and I would guess a fish broth. The grilled meat was far better. We did the all you can eat for the table. The favorite was the marinated beef followed by the spicy pork and brisket. We also really enjoyed the kimchee, kimchee salad and kimchee pancakes. All the sides were good. The service was very friendly but on the slower side. We also had to ask for additional items and got the sense that the all you can eat isn't really what they like to actually offer. Especially when they turned off our grill before asking if we were done. And on a weird side note several of us got super stuffed up and sneezy we figured from the grill being right at our table. A weird side effect of an otherwise delicious meal. read more

The waiter today on 10/16 he was so worried about the outbreak and apparently restaurants being closed down he took forever just getting us a drink as he talked to two people coming in about it as we sat at the table. We've come here for a long time and this place isnt cheap. Guess maybe the only two people sitting In the restaurant aren't important. We won't be back! Close down if your that worried!!!!!! This obsession people have is just crazy. read more

I don't know what happened to this place but their quality has gotten really bad. I can't believe this is the kind of meat they were serving to me. $25 ayce for lunch was such a rip off. Also, what was the green stuff on the meat?!! Is that mold?!! read more

Customer service is very bad. We came on a non busy Sunday afternoon and waited but no one greeted us. I was going around asking hello. Anyone there? and then suddenly a girl with tattoos came out with a smug face and bad attitude. She did not even acknowledge that we were waiting and trying to to reach out but just treated us as if we were grateful to even be there. Ruined our whole Sunday vibe. Will not be coming back. read more

I had a craving for Korean food today and decided to order lunch and have it delivered. I ordered the tofu soup and the beef short ribs. Delivery was early, and came with sides and rice. It was the perfect lunch treat, and now my husband and I are going to the restaurant for date night Friday! One star short of perfect.... I was a little shocked with how the sides were packed individually for both dishes. I think one container would have been sufficient and less wasteful IMHO. read more

Yummy KOREAN BBQ! We went to Dae Gee for the Yelp buy one get one free offer and was not disappointed. We had the all you can eat dinner and it was all very delicious. Maybe it's was just the table we sat at but my only complaint is that the table burner which you cook the food on was not very hot or consistent and tripped the breaker whenever turned up on high. The service here was excellent and we had an overall enjoyable experience and plan on returning. I have heard that the Kimchee Cheegae is a must try and will definitely order it on our next visit. read more

What a fun place! I love all the variety of different things we were able to try. Every ingredient was very fresh and flavorful. read more

Dae Gee is a good place to get your meat sweats. You have the option to have all you can eat, or if you prefer, you can order dishes. I have only ordered the AYCE because I am always hungry. It is hard to have a bad meal here because you cook it yourself. Unless you don't know how to grill meats, you shouldn't have a bad meal here. They also have different types of bbq sauce on your table so you can mix and match flavors. What sets this apart from the other Korean BBQ places is their service. Though their service isn't very consistent, their worst days still beats their competitors best day. read more

Did not have a nice visit at all. Went here for my wife's birthday. She wanted the all you can eat BBQ, and the other 3 of us did not. They forced us all to pay for it, even though none of us wanted it or are any of it (one was a vegetarian). Total waste of our money, and a very bad start to the meal. On top of that, they made us pay the higher dinner price even though we were there for lunch (b/c it was a weekend or holiday or something.....not because we got any extra food). This restaurant has a lot of rules to make you pay for a bunch of stuff you don't want. Waitress was very rushed and busy and never explained the menu, how to cook the food, what the items were, etc. yet she was very quick to scold us for cooking things in the wrong order (I guess we cooked the spicy meat first which was wrong for some reason. If they told us earlier, we would have followed directions. But they had no time to explain what to do, yet had plenty of time to scold is. Food wasn't very good either. Much of the meat was chewy and flavorless. It made for an unhappy birthday for my wife who really likes Korean food and wanted to come here for a while. We will never come back after this experience read more

DAE GEE KOREAN BBQ - Chewy and flavorless meats - Korean Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Visited this location 3 times. Tried the menu order and at another visit the K-BBQ I love KOREAN food. Eat it at least twice monthly. This place is a little average. Food portions very small, flavor is average. Service:very poor, with waiters/servers apathetic,and very low energy. Ask them if they charge extra for the servers/waiters to smile or is it against the employment agreement. Worth it if you have time, but nothing to tell friends about. read more

Over priced and the quality is not very good. I love Korean BBQ! I have yet to find a good one in the Denver market? I have tried Dae Gee three times now and I'm still not impressed. read more

The Bi Bim Bap left a lot of questions unanswered. Such as: what am I eating?

We came here because Sakana was closed. This place is expensive and the food is not even good. They give you very little banchan ( I think we got 6) and they charge extra if you want an additional round. I've never been to a place where they charge for more banchan. What a joke! The dumpling soup was so salty that we couldn't even finished. The galbi was tasty but too thick for my liking. Service was mediocre at best. read more

I need to start off by saying that I work almost full time for a restaurant as a server. So I understand the service industry and what it takes to actually give quality service. We walk in, at 1pm, on a Wednesday, in the middle of October. There's only 3 other tables at the time we walk in. There's only 2 servers. For a location of this size, especially at the time we went, 2 servers would have been plenty to handle the "crowd" they were dealing with. We got sat within 10 minutes. As soon as we sat we were ready to order, but we were told we had to wait since a different table came in first. Then, when we started getting our items, my mom asked for another set of side dishes since the other end of the table wasn't able to reach for anything on the side with the grill. He told us sure. He came and went, until my mom asked again. To that, he said, "You already said that, and it's gonna be another minute." We wait another couple minutes until it comes out, and he delivers it to the side that already has side dishes on it. Throughout the entire meal, we had to search for our servers just for... service. Trust me. I'm from California, the land of food. So I know what it's like to eat a quality KBBQ. Being that Daegee is Colorado's "best Kbbq" the visit did NOT live up to what I've been hearing. It was only towards the end of our meal where the girl server was really nice, which is why I'm giving an extra star. I'm truly shocked at what I experienced today. The quality of the meat, not really there. The flavor came ALL from the sauce they offered. Side dishes, not that great. Rice was dry. Grill was never changed, although they offered to change it at the end of the meal. The additional 18% gratuity added on was just the cherry on top of the worst cake. Probably won't return if I come back to Colorado. And to all you Coloradans, I don't really recommend. read more

Food was alright, prices were very confusing and misleading. 30 bucks to eat unlimited, but every thing you ask for is counted separately and doesn't get included in the unlimited deal. Definitely not for the college students lol read more

DAE GEE used to be our go to KBBQ joint. Make sure you read USED TO BE. Unfortunately they've jacked up these prices, shrunk their portions and it's just not worth the price to pay. I'm not sure if something has gone airy with their vents but when we come in it was SO SMOKEY. I like to smell like a KBBQ but not when you're choking on the smoke as you're trying to eat. Highs Compared to other AYCE places the quality of meat is pretty good. Lows The portions keep shrinking every time. I mean you can order more but the staff is hard to track down. Honorable mentions Grilled pineapple is my jam. Literally. Ask for more. read more

My husband and I can't wait to come back! You order the meats you want to eat then you cook them on the grill in front of you. There are veggies too and plenty of sauces to try. I've never really had Korean food before and this was a great first experience. From what I've heard and seen there are very authentic dishes on the menu too. read more

Lunch was delicious a good variety for 2 people! As we were getting ready to leave and pay, we were told that we come frequently and should leave a tip! This was our 2nd time coming in as of in a year and we had noticed that they already charge there own tip! We were told very rudely "If you don't leave a tip, don't come back next time." read more

Being from San Diego, I've definitely had my fair share of KBBQ from a variety of different places. I'm not sure if it's just a CO thing, but this location had no sauce. They only had 3 bbq bottles that tasted like chamoy (Mexican candy sauce). That was extremely odd and made my dinner not pleasant as meat gets pretty dry. Besides the no sauce issue, the workers were not attentive at all. I would have to wait and look around for at least 15 minutes to get their attention. They hardly ever checked on us and seemed to enjoy conversing more than helping customers. The young guy with glasses was friendly though. read more

If you are curious, I do recommend that you try this spot for Korean food. I met the owner at a Broncos game and decided to try it. It seems that they focus on the all you can eat option because most tables are setup that way. However, there are a number of food selections that are available outside of the all you can eat BBQ experience. I was disappointed in the limited beer menu and the slow service on providing alcohol, because they could have sold us a couple of more if they came around more often. This place is great for a hardcore Korean BBQ regular, but I had trouble explaining the menu to some older folks in our group where were new to the concept. We opted for the hot stone Bipambop and it was a huge letdown to see what little amount of meat that was included. Shoestrings of meat. It would have been better to go the BBQ route, but it would have been labor intensive for some of the elders. This place has a great concept, good flavors, but isn't easy for those not initiated. If you come as a fan, you will leave as a fan, but don't try to impress someone with something completely new. read more

Service is always amazing and friendly and the price is decently good. Yummy food always. I really like the atmosphere and music they play.

I should have read some of these reviews before ordering food from this establishment. I can confidently say that this is some the worst Korean food that I have ever eaten. While I understand that running an int'l restaurant has its challenges, and that nothing will ever taste just like the authentic thing, this was a huge disappointment for me. I ordered 2 meat entrees, both $27-29 an entree and the meats arrived chewy, cold and inedible. I was even more surprised by how small the portion sizes were for the price. Not to mention, my partner is currently sick to his stomach from the horrible quality meat. Lastly, the small sides of potato salad, pickled veggie and kimchi was either way too salty, way too sweet or just plain tasteless. I will not be ordering or dining in here anytime soon, $80+ down the drain... read more

DAE GEE KOREAN BBQ - Korean Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Bland food and terrible customer service! $24 pp is a lot to spend to get boring, unseasoned food and be treated as if you are a nuisance. They might want to consider marinating all of their meats so they actually have some flavor. Also, they should hire wait staff who actually know how to treat customers. This was easily the worst customer service we've ever experienced. read more

Came here after seeing the reviews, and wanting to take out my friends for dinner. Located in a strip mall, I wasn't sure what to expect. When we entered, it seemed to have a cafe style type seating, the only difference being the grills situated in the middle.They seem to be very happy about how they made it onto Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives back in the day, as there are exhibits of endorsements from Guy Fieri all over the place. Ha. We got 3 flights of beer, which ended up being 15 small glasses and in hindsight, was probably too much. Haha, JUST KIDDING! When they brought over the beers, the owner came by and brought his own glass, and cheers'ed us. We got the AYCE bbq for all of us, and they came by fairly quickly with 3 different piles of meat over the grill. My favorite was the kalbi, but be warned, you only get one order, even though it's considered AYCE, which was really strange to me. Nonetheless, after we were done with our first run, we ended up getting more bulgogi, and dae gee bulgogi (spicy pork), so it ended up being fine. Make sure to eat all you order, or else you'll be charged for any significant waste. Service in general was okay, but as there were multiple people taking care of table, there wasn't much communication on what we wanted/needed, and at certain times, we would be waiting for a while for things like napkins or extra kimchi. Also, there's not much in the realm of explanation, including techniques on how to cook your meat over the grill, and general guidelines on how long it takes each to cook. Nonetheless, given our extensive beer order, it wasn't too much of a problem, and the staff had a generally pleasant demeanor, so it was fine. Just saying, you probably should make sure budget a good amount of time, especially if you have plans afterwards. Prices for AYCE were pretty decent, and we ate to our hearts' content for just about $30 per person. Overall, a good option if you're really craving Korean BBQ in the Westminster/Arvada area. The deal is pretty great, and you can easily get your money's worth here. read more

Really worth it, especially for such a solid Korean BBQ experience in the north area. I lived in LA for many years and I miss Koreatown, so this brings some of the excellent food back to me in the best way. Experience dining is so fun, and fun to do with friends, so Dae Gee is a fantastic spot to visit for someone's birthday or other celebration. All the different meats are delicious, as are all the pickles and kimchi, and the potato salad is amazing. I can't wait to go back. read more

DAE GEE KOREAN BBQ - Grilled meats - Korean Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

I wish that I could put a 0 star rating for this place. This is the first time ever I've went to a guy ferri recommendation and left completely disappointed. My dad says that he must of been high eating their food . My family and I travel often and usually end up at a restaurants he recommends but this place completely sucked from the food to the service. Asked for the sever to change the grill and she refused to. I've eaten Korean BQQ in different states and never have tasted such bland meats. I will never recommend anyone coming here, please look somewhere else for Korean BQQ in Denver! read more

The food was good and we had a nice time. The place is in need of a makeover, old tables and chairs nothing pretty to look at. I've been to other Korean bbq that's so much better with more variety. It was pretty darn average nothing special to note read more

Came here on a thursday night around 730PM after me and my party landed from MN. Love kbbq but sadly it's hard to find places that you can actually grill your own food in MN. So we just had to grill in Colorado. Parking was okay. Either street parking or they had 2 small lot. We had a party of 11 so it was wise that we called ahead for reservations or we would of had to wait. I mean come on it's a Thursday night and it was still very crowded. Took the servers maybe 10-15 min before they took our order. We did get our drinks right away which was a plus. My party did the all you can eat kbbq, $22 per person which includes unlimited meat, sides, rice. Note: excess food that you don't grill will be charged additionally. I had a pretty good experience even though there were some things that can improve. There was only about 3 servers that night and so it took them a while to come back with our things. For example, side dishes were out before they even brought out the meat to grill. Had to asked them at least once to replenish our side dishes. And maybe it's just our grill but when the meat did come, it was cooking very slowly. Once the restaurant slowed down a little bit with some tables clearing up, some members from my party decided to move to a different table with a grill because our grill was cooking too slow to feed all of us. Food was good, I almost feel like meat didn't have enough flavor. There are 3 different sauces ranging in levels of spice for your taste. PLUS** servers were very nice. ** peach soju was everyone's FAV **buy a regular soju and receive free cloud beers **the side dishes POINTER** don't order kbbq if you've just landed&starving. Your food is going to take a while to cook. Lesson learned. I would def want to drop back in to try their dishes, maybe on a less busy day/time of day. read more

This used to be my go to spot for KBBQ up north. When I was pregnant I ate here every other week for at least 3 hours per sitting. I seriously took advantage of the AYCE! Came for dinner on Friday after a 6 month hiatus and had such a disappointing experience. There's no hood ventilation so the smoke from the grill is sucked into the table by a fan. My pork belly that I eat an abundance of turned black with smoke and was extra greasy. All our meat had a gas like and smoke flavor. It felt so unhealthy eating it! I'm not sure what happened this last time since they've never had hood vents. Maybe it was the grill/table we were seated at? I give 3 stars since it still can be a good place to dine and the service is always great (the service gets 5 stars). The restaurant is also bigger since they did a remodel, so that's a plus. But sad to say, I prob won't be visiting this establishment anymore. It really left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Well, I'll say it once, I'll say it again... I think yelp needs a half star rating system... I feel bad giving a three star, but it was not yet a four star experience. Consider this review a 3 1/2 star rating! I went to Dae Gee for the first time recently. It was fairly quiet... The gal with curly short hair greeted us and was very warm. We got to the table and the waitress was nice enough and was efficient. I recently had an excellent experience at a different Korean restaurant in Denver, so I was basing my food experience against that one. I wish some of the food had a little bit more POW to it. The kimchee was pretty bland. The onions were ok. Sides were ok, but my table didn't finish any of them. As for the main dish, it was very tasty. I do wish I would've asked if they could spice it up a little bit more. It was also fairly medium to mild and taste, it was very flavorful. I had a tofu stew. The ambience was comfortable... My friends and I sat in a booth, which is my favorite. I don't like uppity restaurant decor, so I felt very at home here. Service was expedient and also she came to check on us a few times. Would I go back? Maybe if I was in the area. But I am hungry (pun intended) to try a few of the other Korean restaurants in the Denver area to compare styles. read more
