The Korean food was pretty good. Some of the most tender beef bulgogi I have eaten. I would definitely recommend to people, especially with a lunch special that runs till 5pm. One thing I did find different was the rice. Normally when you think Korean food you thing white or purple rice, not sure what some of the things on that rice are but still delicious. Also, crispy rice is a yummy bonus. read more

I tried Daldongnae 4 times now, but I've only ever been to the Somerset location in Ottawa. Every time I've been, the staff here are always super friendly and attentive. However, I've noticed out of the times I've went, I never seen a girl waitress- which is a bit odd? (But not complaining ) There are lots of seatings avaialble and the environment is very spacious with an authentic Korea-feel with the table design. During rush hours, it can get a little noisy. BUT ALSO the meats here are very YUM and high-quality- 10/10 ‍ read more

Daldongnae Korean BBQ - Ottawa - Grill, banchan (sides), pork belly and beef tenderloin - Korean Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

We love this restaurant for the authentic Korean bbq experience and the fun atmosphere.

Wow, can't say anything bad about this place. I know it's a chain but this is the first location i've been to, and the first of the chain so i can't say if the others are like this, but this place impressed me. The staff are super friendly and very helpful to newbies to the world of korean BBQ. Answered any questions we had regarding the offerings, and helped choose toddler suitable dishes too. The meat was fresh, looked and tasted of very good quality. It didn't feel like it was expensive for what it was either, would definitely recommend this place. Easy parking round the back which is always helpful. read more

This was delightful, great place, great ambiance ideal for chitchat with friends or family. Put your phone aside, relax enjoy the meal, selection of meat are great, service, welcoming very good. Indefinitely recommend this place about 150$ for 4 people. Very reasonable with today's prices read more

Daldongnae Korean BBQ - Ottawa - Table with contents - Korean Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Looking for something different we read the menu and it says that there is vegan set for grill. We went there and the server was not knowledgeable enough of what vegan is. Any way he went and asked and confirmed so we ordered two sets between the four of us (3 vegetarians). The set is vegetarian (most of it and some is vegan) and - cheesy corn has cheese, the kimchi has fish sauce in it and they serve scrambled liquid eggs. The rest is all vegan - the veggies, vegan sausages (impossible or beyond), tofu and mushrooms. The table for 4 did not have enough room for all the stuff they bring in. We think the table is for 2 and then there is enough room for all food and people. The food is good and thank you management for providing a vegan/vegetarian option for people like us. We would have never had the pleasure of eating at a Korean restaurant. The condiments, pickles and sides dishes are amazing. Now that we have tried , I think we can try one more time. Because there was no room part of our order was spilled by the waiter as there just not enough room. All items promptly replaced. We also tried the Spicy Cold Noodle Salad. Given a big bowl and all the topping and gochuchang type dressing that you are to mix with provided gloves. Amazing salad. Would highly recommend the salad. read more

I chose the marinated beef. It was so delicious. I go every chance I get. The soju is a little overpriced.

Tonight was my 2nd time visiting this restaurant. Great food and service at both times. Would love to try wagyu beef next time. My mom and I had beef short ribs and pork belly, with great quality. Refillable side dishes were added bonus! This is the place to go especially if you have never tried Korean BBQ before. read more

The best Korean bbq I have had in years. It is the real deal. You order a meat (each person at the table needs to order from the main section of the menu) and get all you can eat sides. The bbq grill had supplementary sides cooking bins all around and they put cheese corn, battered egg, Kim chi and sliced garlic there. The sides were a Korean jelly, marinated cucumbers, a potato salad, marinated chop suey, marinated spinach and Romaine lettuce leaves. Each person gets a small bowl with soy sauce and sliced onions, a side container of Korean sauce and sesame oil. Each table get a tofu soup. I wasn't sure how we were supposed to share that. We fished the contents and ate them. The place is decorated like a cosy street and as if you were sitting a bit at a table outside a restaurant, in an alley. It's really cute and inviting. It was delicious and a fun experience for a decent price. Definitely going again. read more

Hands down the best meal we had in Canada! We were Korean BBQ virgins, but this restaurant made us believers! The food was so tasty and fresh. Everything from the meats, to the sides, to the egg and corn were delicious. Service was straight forward, and the ambiance is really nice. I would recommend this restaurant as a "must-do" whenever in Ottawa. read more

Remains a great Korean bbq spot in Ottawa! All the cuts of meats were delicious. I really liked the chuck steak and pork belly. The side dishes were also phenomenal. Loved the assortment - the egg, cheese corn, japchae, kimchi, acorn jelly, etc. Service was nice and prompt and helped us with the refills. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here tonight! Their service is what made the lasting impression, the servers checked up on us often. (Mind you, it wasn't very busy) Food was good, mandatory 1 serving per person must be ordered at the table. I did appreciate that their side dishes, corn cheese and egg could be refilled. It does lean more to the expensive side, but it's a different vibe than the AYCE locations. read more

The food is pretty tasty, and the cuts of the meat seem good but it can get pretty pricey as the meats only come in 200g portions and I feel like it's not really enough for one person. You would probably need maybe 2 orders per person or so. It's also weird to me at a KBBQ where they don't have complimentary rice to wrap with the meat in lettuce wraps. Another thing is that the service was sooo spotty. The sides are "unlimited" as is the cheese corn and egg on the grill.. but you can literally never find staff to help you out. You'll likely only get one refill if even that. I have to say, the decor is pretty nice inside. It has the vibe of having kbbq on the streets on Korea. read more

Wonderful Korean BBQ experience! Had some miscommunication with so many servers involved but overall the service was very attentive and helpful. The food was so flavorful and delicious and the meal was well paced. We were seated right away in a corner booth and loved the vibe of the restaurant. Ordered three meats and the vegetarian platter to share plus drinks. Reasonably priced and great value! read more

Daldongnae Korean BBQ - Ottawa - Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

The korean barbecue was delicious and filling. We had the beef tenderloin and pork belly table barbecue and the meat was well marinated. The side dishes were also good. The cold noodles were sweet and tastey. I love the egg and corn on the side of the barbecue grill. The service was slow but it was their 2nd day of opening. The staff was friendly though so I have no doubt the service will be more efficient in the future. read more

So I was thrown off by ordering a la carte for Korean BBQ, instead of AYCE. You need about one meat per person. We were given barely any samjang, I wasn't sure if I was entitled to ask for more. I was also stunned not to receive a bowl of pap (rice) I wasn't given a plate either, so I found myself awkwardly smearing samjang, meat, and banchan into my lettuce on my increasingly dirty napkin. This was a massive minus for me that affected how much I could enjoy the food. They had a really atypical lineup of banchan including acorn jelly, I liked the unusual banchans. The food was decent, a tonne better than the crappy Korean place that they replaced at this location, but my enjoyment was hampered by the no plate no rice situation. Perhaps I have to order rice and pay for each bowl, which is fine, but I didn't clue in to that. read more

Was a first-time experience for both my family and I, and it certainly did not disappoint! The service was prompt, and all staff were very kind and helpful, answering any questions that came up. The food was also very flavourful. I ordered the vegan set, which came with tofu, vegan sausage, and a variety of vegetables for the grill; perfect for those who want the Korean BBQ experience without the meat. The rest of my family ordered steak and pork belly, which they thoroughly enjoyed. There was a wide variety of banchan including kimchi, mung bean jelly, and cucumber salad, which could be refilled once finished for no additional cost. These were delicious as well! Will definitely be returning, and highly recommend. :) read more

Daldongnae Korean BBQ - Ottawa - Korean Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Good food and service. Unique atmosphere for Ottawa. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable of the food. Honestly best Korean bbq in Ottawa.

Today I visited this restaurant with 3 other people, and I have to say our experience was AMAZING!!! I have been to Korea and have eaten BBQ there, I can honestly say this is the most authentic Korean BBQ in Ottawa. The banchans (side dishes) are ON POINT!!! if you consider the corn cheese, omelette, and marinated onions, they give you 10 banchans!!!! The dipping sauces were so good, I needed to get extra.the service was exceptional, the staff is very attentive. My friend ordered the vegan set and the cold noodle soup with kimchii broth (which we shared) delicious! The owner came to check on each table and made sure to remind us that all side dishes were unlimited. Great soju selection. Will definitely return and I have already referred many friends to go. read more

Our first time here. We didn't tell it was only their 2nd day open. They are an authentic Korean bbq spot. You pick a minimum of 2 protein and it comes with what seems to be unlimited base sides. You can order extra premium sides as a cost. They have a variety of soju and pop as well. Service was a little slow but very understandable as they are still brand new. Staff and service were very apologetic and very nice. I felt like I was in Asia with it's intimate setting. It was a fun & interactive experience and we have added this place into one of our regular dining spots. read more

The food was soooo yummy and had a traditional Korean style, I love it so much. The staff are nice and hard working. The restaurant is always busy so we need to wait a while for table set up and food servings, but everything is good. The price is higher than the average but it's worthy. read more

service was slow and not attentive. 17% Tip requested on machine. no reservations for Friday or Saturday accepted for two people read more

To sum it up... GARBAGE! We love authentic Korean food and this was not even close. The service was terrible. We had to flag down the server whenever we needed something. They forgot to bring the meat and we waited for 45 minutes before we had to ask for it. This location used to be Korean Palace which always served delicious and authentic Korean food. Daldongnae is not authentic and it is not good. read more

This was absolutely one of the worse, if not the worst experience I've ever had. We got there and was seated pretty quickly. This was our first time trying the spot and so our server explained how it worked. At the start, different waiters would come to see if we were ready to order but as soon as we had ordered, the service was absolutely horrific. The food was good, not worth the high price but good nonetheless. We had finished our sides and asked a waitress if we could refill since the sides were free.. it never got to us. We were cooking our meats and realized that the burner was too high, we tried waiving waiters for half an hour while our meat kept burning on the outside but was still very raw on the inside, and was popping on us, yet absolutely NO ONE looked our way. I went to the front to get someone because it had become ridiculous now. A waiter came to lower the burner and we had asked again for a refill of the sides so we could eat it with our now burnt meat, he said he would bring it... he didn't and never looked our way again. We ended up eating the meat on its own as it was getting cold and called it a day. We had to waive down a waiter for another 20 minutes just to get the bill. The same waiter that had promised us to refill our sides was the same one wishing us a "nice rest of your day" after completely ignoring us our whole time there. The absolute worst experience and I would never go back again. read more

Great place with authentic interior and tasty Korean bbq. Had a wonderful experience, would 100% recommend
