    Returned after almost two years on a Sunday evening. The raw meat quality seem less, some of the cuts of meat are thinner and not whole steaks or large. I actually ate more cooked food from the buffet table then usual. Maybe it's the end of the weekend or end of Sunday? Important: check your bill carefully, they added 18% tip onto the bill automatically and they requested more tip so if I didn't see the added tip then you will double tip them

    TLDR: You get, they cook. Good selection of meats and sides and good times. Grill changes without asking, but note that once the fire is off, it is off. If you want last minute egg or corn, make sure to grab it! Note: The ice cream tastes funny, would not recommend. - - - - - - Solid KBBQ spot with some nice meats and excellent service. There are no limits to what you can eat, but only take what you can eat (don't waste food, or you pay for what you can't finish). There are several areas to grab items from hot foods to raw meats to pre-prepped corn cheese and egg. After you've selected all the meats that you'd like to eat, a server comes by to cook and serve you. Grill changes? Automatic! Some standout items are their kalbi and brisket; they even have some other common items such as bulgogi, though those were not too tasty. There was a time where meat was accidentally burnt, but the server's quick wit and sass made it a comedic scene than an awkward moment. In comparison to the busier KBBQ of SoCal (iykyk) the music here isn't quite loud, and it's quite nice for enjoying casual conversations with friends. After you eat, there is an option for ice cream, but I would not recommend it, as it has a funny taste

    Great variety of food! My go to for Korean bbq - well seasoned meats, & a variety of sides. Service is good - they come around often changing the grill to a fresh one and if you want to order beer/soft drinks.

    We were celebrating my son 29th birthday. The offer variety of raw meat from korean meats such as Bulgogi, marinated short ribs, gizzards, sardines, veggies, and many more raw meats. They do have korean corn cheese, japchee, small noodle soup, korean pancakes, ready-made hot foods, dumplings, wings, rice, soups, and desserts The workers do change the grill regularly. They do offer romaine lettuce, various dipping sauces, and spices. People are friendly. There are plenty of tables for families. . The prices are reasonable $39 for a Thursday nite dinner for the family. We will come back again

    We made reservations for Sat night and surprisingly it wasn't necessary. It wasn't packed and we were promptly seated. We asked for a garbage bag to put our jackets in but keep in mind - you're going to smell like smoke and bbq. Lots of meat to choose from as well as banchans. $41 AYCE on a Saturday night is a steal. Great service - can work on their dessert options.

    I have been coming here from time to time but it's definitely been a while since the last time I was here . One thing i notice is the change of the cooked dishes that they no longer carry my favorite pig feet dish which was a big let down . I guess they have attracted a lot of non Asian customers that no one eat they dish any more . I wish they would bring it back one day ! The service was good as the waitress makes her rounds to bbq for us. My kids enjoyed their food and the desserts . Will definitely come back again in the future .

    Compared with the same Picnic Garden brand, but this place was far more better than other locations in NJ - All meats marinated in Korean sauce style - Fried chicken drum was so testy - many sides of sauce and seasoning - Ambiance was large dining table and a lot more around restaurant The price is acceptable! I highly recommended to all people.

    Food (4/5): Buffet selection of some hot prepared foods in addition to the raw meat for Korean BBQ on the grill. My favorites were the corn cheese, spicy sausage, spicy bulgogi, and brisket. The other options were alright and some of the meat was tough. Venue (4/5): Nice venue with a lot of space and each table had decent quality grills. Music and lights were quite loud and active. Service (4/5): I've come here in the afternoon when it's not busy and for dinner when it was really busy. The first time we got good attentive service but for the busy dinner service it seemed like they were understaffed. We didn't frequently get our grills changed, they didn't have time to come over and help cut meats, and water was infrequently refilled.

    Tried this place for the first time, it was a Saturday night. We arrived around 5:30 table of 2 and…read morethere were 2 other large parties. It got busy, almost full house around 6:30ish. There's 2 waitresses and one busser, but I felt only one of the waitress was pulling the weight, while the other (maybe she's the owner?) mostly chatted with one of the table customers. I felt bad for our waitress she was so busy with fulfilling takeouts + dine ins and the dishes require a lot of servicing table side. She couldn't catch 1 second of break :( Food wise, we got their 2 person combo of spicy pork gamja tang and spicy rice cake which came with the steamed egg. Everything was so good, egg was extra fluffy, rice cake was delicious and the meat came right off the bones. They take a good variety of side dishes. My partner wasn't a fan of the gamja tang but due to feeling it's a hassle to eat meat with bones, so those who fee sim may agree. We also asked for the fried rice after we finished the gamja tang, for 2 servings I think it was $4.75 or something. I really enjoyed it but I guess I like scorched rice, also something my partner doesn't enjoy so those we feel sim just note. Environment feels very old school, well worn. Feels cozy. It can get loud very quickly on a Saturday night as this place seems to be a hit for large parties. Since the wait staff is short handed, expect a bit of a wait for things. Don't come if you're in a rush.

    I'm pretty sure I discovered this spot long before Anthony Bourdain did! It was featured in Parts…read moreUnknown Season 9, Episode 4 (Queens), where he dined here with chefs Josh Smookler and Cosme Aguilar. Geo Si Gi is highly known for their signature gamjatang (spicy pork bone soup). Ordered the Gamjatang & Grilled Mackerel Set - $52.95 (for 2) The gamjatang is perfectly spiced - bold and warming without overwhelming heat (and trust me, my spice tolerance is low!). Instead of the usual red kimchi, they load it with long strips of green napa cabbage, cut right before your eyes before serving. Some bean sprouts, watercress on top, with tender potatoes, chewy rice cakes, and massive pork bones that fall right off - so meaty and flavorful. Served with a side of sweet mustard sauce. Pure comfort on a cold day. The grilled mackerel was enormous and incredibly plump - way bigger than expected! As an oily fish, it's rich and satisfying, but we barely made it through a third. If you're a mackerel fan like me, it's a must-order. . Banchan were simple and homey: nothing flashy, just solid classics. Bonus: it comes with fluffy steamed egg (jjim) that rounds out the meal perfectly. I can eat an entire bowl of rice with just the steamed egg . This set was massive for two - we left with about 1/4 of the soup and 2/3 of the fish! Pro tip: Save some broth and ask them to make fried rice with it at the end. Game-changer. . Highly recommend for hearty, soul-warming Korean food in Flushing!

We were a group of 6 and came to Daori for some Korean BBQ. They're located on a residential street but next to several other stores and restaurant. We were surprised to see that they had TV's which was great since the World Cup final was playing. We are told the Iberico pork was the star here. We ordered several other dishes as well. The pork was indeed very good. My only comment was that the waitress seemed very stressed and frazzled. She was stressing about cooking the food and some of it was getting overcooked but also our banchan didn't get refilled because of it.
