We came here for a late weekday lunch because they were doing an event where if you order mains, you get 5 dishes free (some seasoned meats, savoury pancakes, and dongchimi. For our order of 2 pork belly (skin on) portions, there was a good variety of side dishes, and the grill had egg, kimchi, garlic, and corn cheese on the side. They all cooked up very nicely. They are generous with side dish portions and also offer refills. My fav was the eggplant -- nice texture and seasoning. The onion pickles and kimchi go very well with the meat and cut through the grease. You do have to cook your own meat, so pay attention not to over-grill :b Service was fast and attentive, and their Korean retro decoration is adorable. Really brings me back to having K-BBQ in Korea. read more

Celebrated a friend's birthday here as they had the birthday T-shirt promotion! Honestly, you can't go wrong with Daldongnae. Ive been to a couple locations and this one is just as good, maybe a bit smaller. They have a 1 serving minimum (meat or vegan set) per person for the table BBQ. All table BBQ comes with complimentary Egg, Corn Cheese, Lettuce, 5 side dishes, and Soybean stew. (Soybean stew includes soybean paste, onions, zucchini , mushroom, cabbage, tofu.) Here's what we ordered: 2x Pork Belly $20.99 2x Pork Jowel Meat $21.99 2x Beef Chuck Steak $24.99 2x Beef Rib Finger Meat $24.99 1x Beef Rib Eye Roll $27.99 1x Spicy Cold Noodle Salad (large) $21.99 (Soba noodle / Lettuce / Cabbage / Red cabbage / Cucumber / Pepper / Apple / Shredded egg crepe / House spicy sauce / Sesame topping) We also ordered a couple Asahi beers $8.99 and Melona Soju cocktails $12.99 (they're my favorite!) Everything was delicious and our servers just kept the sides coming haha. They took great care of us. My only complaint was that it was so hot in our booth... when you step away to the washroom, the restaurant is well ventilated and air conditioned, but at our booth, it felt like zero air flow, we were sweating so hard while BBQ-ing. Portion size is pretty fair for what you pay for as well. Pricing can be expensive for two people, but with a group it's very reasonable. 20260703 read more

We went for weekend dinner, with prior reservations. The restaurant was quite full, though we got our table immediately. The ambiance, cleanliness, vibes are moderate. Seating is not very cramped (neither very spacious). We had table bbq with beef hanging tender and beef chuck steak. Quality of meat was average. Limited parkings available at the back of the restaurant (entrance from Patricia Ave) read more

Daldongnae Korean BBQ - Cummer - The spread ‍ - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Visited with some friends on a weekday for dinner. There were plenty of tables available and the lighting was slightly dimmed so it was very cute and cozy. The food was good and the service was fast too. Staff was friendly and very helpful. You can get unlimited soup and sides. The portions are also pretty big so one meat per person will definitely be enough for everybody. read more

My experiences with Daldongnae has always been amazing! I definitely recommend this restaurant

There was a request for Korean BBQ so we checked out this location. The outside is deceiving as it looks like a quiet house, but the moment you walk in, the space is bustling with patrons. They decorated the space with a bunch of antiques and it makes you feel like you are sitting outside eating. For those who actually want to sit outside, there is a patio space in the back. You are required to order a grill dish for each person at the table and each grill dish is around $25. That is before ordering rice or noodles so the bill quickly adds up. I enjoyed the refillable sides, including the steamed egg/kimchi/corn/garlic which cooks at the rim of the grill. Would definitely recommend getting some rice to make lettuce wraps with! read more

It was seamless to grab a seat midweek evening when I was there. Overall, a thumbs up. As a group of three, we ordered three portions of meat and the Kimchi fried rice, which was the ideal quantity of food for us. Quality delicious BBQ and it reflects in the price. I would've liked more sides to finish my meal, but if you've completed your meat, they stop refilling your banchan/sides. So make sure you preorder your side refills before you finish cooking your meat. Pros: Quality meats, light sauces that compliment the meats well without overpowering, and the sides like cheesy corn, steamed egg and of lettuce to wrap the meat. Love pork belly and you can have it cut thick or thin. The Kimchi fried rice is amazing! Better than what I can make at home. Cons: They only have red meat - ie. different cuts of pork and beef, no chicken and no seafood. However, for vegetarians, they do have a veggie grilling portion. They don't have complimentary Korean green onion salad, which I had in my fav KBBQ restaurant. I love to eat it with grilled meats. Though that one is closed since the pandemic... and not sure if it's something other KBBQ restaurants offer nowadays. read more

One of my new favourite Korean BBQ places! Love that there are complementary side dishes on the grill - there's egg, kimchi, cheesy corn, and garlic. You can refill them too. The cheesy corn was my favourite, look at that cheese pull! On top of that there's various complementary small side dishes, soup, and a refillable basket of lettuce to wrap the meat. For the meat, we ordered Pork Jowl Meat, Pork Belly w/ Skin, Beef Short Plate. All of the meat tasted amazing! I like that the meat was not pre-marinated, but instead they give you sauces to dip it in after it's cooked. They've got COVID-19 safety protocols in place including temperature checks when you enter the restaurant, hand sanitizer, and social distancing. You can also enjoy this Korean BBQ out on their beautiful patio, except there just might be some bees flying around... read more

The food itself here is delicious. Traditional Korean table cooking BBQ with fresh meats and a variety of side dishes make up a pretty amazing culinary experience here. There's quite a bit to choose from but I'd personally recommend the boneless beef rib and kimchi pancake. The staff here are incredible. Friendly, fast and attentive but not intrusive. They usually have no problems accommodating special requests if they're able. I hate tipping culture in general, but at this place I never felt pressured to tip, and I always felt like I wanted to because the service was always great. Location wise there are two that I've been to. The one at Yonge and Steeles (that's the good one) and the one further south of that also on Yonge street which I would avoid like the plague. The other location is dark, uncomfortable and the staff were awful when I was there. If you go to the Yonge and Steeles location you'll be glad you did. Enter the restaurant from the back, near the parking lot. I'm not sure why they don't have a front facing entrance, but if you can't find it, that's where it is. read more

Tasty, authentic KBBQ for Toronto standards! I find the meat portions to be on the smaller side, but the side dishes are plentiful. The service is usually quite quick and friendly too. Even better than the KBBQ are the kimchi cold noodles! Absolutely the most delightful item on the entire menu. I would return just to order these cold noodles again. read more

We went back to this location for my birthday. We also tried different mains. Their seafood pancake was so delicious - crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, and it remained crispy throughout the whole meal! And of course, you did some fried rice to go with the bbq. The service remained the same, we consistently received banchan refill when we needed it, and the drinks were good, too. I'm so glad the ambiance, quality of the food, and the service remained consistent since my last visit in May. read more

Oh my gosh the food was incredible! We've been to many Korean BBQ in Toronto/Markham and this place was by far one of the best! The last time I remember having really good Korean bbq meats was when I was in Korea and this place definitely comes close to that experience. Our server was super helpful as it was our first visit, he helped us pick the meats for barbecuing and we went with the two most popular choices which were the pork belly and beef tenderloin. You need to be patient when cooking the pork belly as the meat is very thick. Both the pork and the beef were delicious and absolutely mouthwatering! There was also lots of complimentary dishes which went really well with the bbq meats. I would recommend ordering one meat dish per person. For the three of us, we ordered 3 meats for barbecuing and two side dishes and we were really full and had leftovers to bring home. The side dishes that we got were the stir fried kimchi pork tofu and seafood pancake. Both were good but we really liked the kimchi pork tofu dish which we'll likely order again on our next visit. Overall, we really loved this place and we'll be back very soon! read more

My favorite Korean BBQ of all time! Excellent service and a variety of side dishes to go with the good food.

Terrible service, the waiters behave like they are doing you a favor. One waitress was visibly upset with us when we asked for an extra pair of scissors that we decided it may not be a good idea to ask for sides. This is my third time. What I like about this place is consistency in their food. I like the short ribs and its served without seasoning which I think is great. The first 2 times were great hence it became somewhat of our go to place, but the 3rd time was so bad that my husband said we are never coming here again. read more

Ordered pork belly, beef short ribs and beef short plate, not like last time in Scarborough Daldongnae, this time I liked the short plate the most! Seafood pancake was crispy but can't spot too much seafood , a lot of green onions The service was good and fast , and their backyard patio is open, nice vibes , great for meat lovers like me :) read more

Got pork belly with skin & pork shoulder butt at this Korean BBQ place. The meats were decent. The decor is cute, like you're sitting at a Korean night market. Pork Kimchi stew was decent. It was sour & spicy (I don't like kimchi). It was also pretty sweet: more sweet than other kimchi stews. It was generous with ingredients. There were 5 banchan plus corn & kimchi in the hot plate. So effectively there were 7. There was egg & garlic too; the egg after a while became like steamed egg Complimentary soy bean soup was good: mainly salty notes with some spicy ones. It was like spicy miso. The rice served here was not white but red rice. read more

Daldongnae's another one of my favourite places to go for kbbq! It was my first time going to this location. We ordered a few meats. It comes with a lot of sides, tofu stew, and some sauces for dipping. I really liked how our server explained what each side dish was. All the sides are refillable. We also ordered the Korean egg rolls. It was good but I probably wouldn't order it again as one of the sides is already steamed egg. My go to is usually the seafood pancake. There's also parking located behind the building which you can enter through the side street. The parking lot isn't the most obvious but the entrance is connected to the Katsuya parking lot! read more

There's a reason Daldongnae's are popping up all over the city! This one is also located on Yonge in a busy stretch. It does amazingly have a small parking lot in the back. The decor is reminiscent of the other locations. It's dark on the inside with a lot of wood paneling like an old school bar. We went a later in the afternoon around 2pm and we were able to get seated immediately. They have booths that can accommodate a good number of people - we had a party of 8. Daldongnae is not all you can eat with the trade off being that their meats are high quality. You also have some great bonuses like the garlic and steamed egg that come with the grill. The banchans are refillable but there are limits on these. read more

My friend recommended this as his favorite spot in the Toronto area for Korean bbq and I can see why! We ordered samgyeopsal and another cut of pork (I can't remember which) and the spicy cold noodle (Jaengbanmomil guksu). The samgyeopsal was so good and crisped up nicely, and the other cut was nice and juicy. I also really liked the banchan here. They brought out oi kimchi (my fave), seaweed, mung beans, and konjac for a nice spread. The onions and buchu were also delicious with a nice sauce. We got a small portion of the noodles and it was more than enough for two people. The server suggested it over the large, as that's more for 3-4 people. The quality of meat here was really good and I enjoyed everything! read more

A gem of a place! Really cool heated patio, wonderful service, and great food! They have four locations along yonge street all between Sheppard and Steeles! I would highly recommend the beef short ribs, and pass on the finger meat. We were recommended the finger meat, but I find that cut of meat really tough, hence not a fan. All the sides were great, and I believe unlimited refills lthough we didn't really ask for any. read more

So delicious! I am so happy they have a patio. Parking space is limited so definitely go early if you can. We ordered pork belly, pork shoulder, beef short ribs. I had to get my Korean bbq fix after being in lockdown for so long. They gave a generous amount of sides and OMG the cheese corn was so tasty! They had something called Acorn Jelly as a side which I never heard of before. It kind of tasted like Agar Agar but salty. We ate a lot of the meat with lettuce and kimchi. They refilled our sides and lettuce halfway through. It even came with a tofu soup. Everything was flavourful and it definitely satisfied my cravings. 10/10 would go again. read more

Great unlimited side dishes!! My favourite was the seaweed, bean sprouts, and mung bean jelly. There was also complimentary cheese corn refills, lettuce, & soup. For the KBBQ meats, we got the Pork belly (which was surprisingly not that fatty) and Beef tenderloin. Loved the layout of their grill (since it also heated some of the complimentary sides). I also enjoyed dipping the cooked meats in the sesame oil & salt dip. read more

Daldongnae Korean BBQ - Cummer - Check out all the side dishes and meats! - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is my go to spot for KBBQ when dining with groups. I'm willing to drive all the way from the west end so that should say something! There's plenty of side dishes to choose from and you can ask for as much as you want. My favourite side dish has to be the corn. Very sweet and topped with some cheese. It makes a very nice addition to a lettuce wrap. For the meat, the go to is always the pork belly. It's not too fatty and one of the cheaper meat options. The other go to meat we get is the tenderloins. This is my favourite cut of meat. It cooks very nicely and very good quality meat. If there's a special occasion we will get the chuck steak to celebrate. This is the best cut of meat here in my opinion, incredibly tender and juicy. Be careful not to ruin it! Other than that it gets a bit pricy when you order drinks like soju but it's worth the price. Washrooms aren't the best so I hope you don't have to take a #2. read more

Daldongnae Korean BBQ - Cummer - Meat and sides - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Went here recently for a dinner and it was great. The service was great and the quality of meats was exceptional. We had pork belly, beer finger meat, rib eye and tenderloin. Then we went crazy and ordered another round. Also ordered the rice and got some soup provided on the house. Everything was great. The only minor thing I would ding them for would be the small dishes because of the variety. I guess I have been spoiled by Korean places that might have 6-8 types vs 4 here. Again, nitpicking. Overall this is a must try. Great food and service. read more

I should've read the reviews ahead of time, I had no idea the sides were complementary! I would've eaten so much more corn if I knew! The egg, onion, and soup were also very good side dishes. I think since the sides are complementary it's a great value for what you're getting. We were 5 and ordered 3 different kinds of meat and everything was delicious. Everything was fresh and arrived promptly. Our temperatures were checked at the door and we sanitized our hands before being escorted to our table on the outside patio. read more

Superb service, and unlimited refills of my favorite cheese corn & egg definitely made my first visit at Daldongnae an unforgettable one We came on Saturday during dinner time, and as expected, it was busy. The server took our names and we were told that it would be at least a 30 minute wait. We came back in about 10-15 mins to sit inside as it was cold and the party at the waiting area was gone. We immediately got a table even though it wasn't our turn yet. I think we might have gotten lucky because the previous parties didn't arrive yet, and we were just there. Inside the restaurant was fairly busy as all tables were full. Besides the different cuts of meat offered, Daldongnae also has a variety of Korean dishes to choose from. I also did appreciate how the menu shows you the location of what cuts you're getting with their diagrams. It was alittle hard in the beginning to get someone to take our order as it was busy, but after ordering, the food came fairly quickly. You get a variety of the classic Korean side dishes as well as a small bowl of tofu stew when you order the meat. Overall quality and portion sizes were great, and our server was consistently polite when we kept ordering refills on the egg & cheese corn despite the busyness of the restaurant Will definitely come back when I'm not looking for AYCE and craving for Kbbq! read more

Yummy! Its one of the top tier places to go to. The meats is top grade. Theres always a line try and reserve. The place is always busy at all times of the day. I can say from food quality and service from staff has always been excellent. They change your grill very regularly which helps you cook delish food everytime. The complimentary soups and desert was good. Too bad its a 1x per a table would def go ham on that. Its all good anyways. Would def return A++++ read more

Authentic Korean BBQ at its best! They have three locations now (other one is a few blocks away near Steeles and the newest one is downtown). There is usually a bit of a wait in the crowded entrance so add your name to the Yelp waitlist or try to go at an earlier time if possible. The decor inside has a lot of vintage artifacts and posters accompanied with some dim lighting. Their menu is not very big and only lies on one page but it definitely has everything that you would need! I usually stick to ordering the pork belly and pork jowl meat. Their meats comes a la carte in 200g portions. I have tried the pork skirt (limited quantity daily) and did not like it as much because it came marinated. I found the sauce really covered the meat flavour itself. The beef meats are alright but the cut and flavour just can not compare to their pork meats. And at a slightly higher price point, I tend to stick back to the pork belly. The grill has four sections with two bigger slots for cheesy corn and egg and the smaller two for garlic and kimchi. There are usually numerous sides as well such as apple potato salad, acorn jelly, seaweed/kelp pieces, beansprouts, and such. As well, they provide a hot tofu soup and lettuce for wrapping the meats. Each person also gets a dish of onions and a sauce dish. Most of the side dishes and the cheese corn/egg on the grill are refillable upon request. Thank you for the refillable lettuce!! We often add the spicy cold noodle to share as well. Overall, the food portion is good and I always leave this place feeling stuffed. The servers are attentive and friendly even when the restaurant gets a bit busier. Don't think too much, come here and enjoy some Kbbq! read more

What an amazing spot! The ambiance is great and I like that you get your little nook/booth to enjoy the meal. It is an experience to eat here! The meat is good quality and it is priced fairly. Also, the sides are unlimited and the creamy corn is definitely my favourite. They also gave us complementary unlimited tofu soup, which we enjoyed. The service is awesome, too! The staff are informative, esp when we told them it's our first time. They were friendly and prompt. The environment is not too noisy when we came in, but since it's a cozy place, I can see how it can be noisy when busy. They also have a nice patio and an alley style back door dining.

It's been a minute since I was last at a patio. It felt so weird to be able to sit down, order, wait for your food to arrive and eat it with friends/family. This has really taught me to appreciate the little things and soak in each moment. To celebrate the opening of outdoor dining, my friend and I visited this spot! Seafood Pancake: Price: $15.99 Rating: 9.5/10 It was packed with vegetables and tastes just like pancakes; comes with delicious sauce for dipping. The pancake was also crunchy and savoury; perfect dish to have after a meal full of meat Pork Belly: Price: $16.99 Rating: 9/10 The Pork Belly was tender and juicy. It comes raw and you fry it yourself (the beauty of kbbq) Beef Short Plate: Price: $19.99 Rating: 8.5/10 The beef was tender and juicy but I found the pork to be more flavorful and delicious. With a purchase of meat, you get a pan to fry it on with sides - corn with cheese, kimchi, garlic, egg and lettuce. Apart from these sides, we got more side dishes too and tofu soup () on the house. The customer service was amazing too as the service was efficient and staff were friendly. The food is more on the pricey side but it's a great place to go to treat yourself to KBBQ once in a while. This might just be one of my top favourite KBBQ restaurant. Follow @debeats_ on Instagram for more KBBQ restaurant recommendations. read more
