I liked the KPOP being played and I don’t even listen to it!
Reservation required.
We ordered the Daebak combo with the gold package. Portions were decent for three people, and for once we didn’t leave KBBQ feeling overly stuffed. The samgyeopsal and chadol were really good, and the kalbi, which I usually don’t order but was included in the combo, was surprisingly delicious. Banchan selection was decent, though the kimchi wasn’t good at all. I did appreciate that they serve purple rice.
Service was a mixed experience. Our server rushed through cooking all the meat with very little interaction, pushing cooked meat to the side of the grill where some fell onto the tabletop and mixed into the veggies and cheese corn, then adding raw meat that touched the cooked food and vegetables. I would’ve enjoyed the meal more if we were able to cook it ourselves and take our time.
The doenjang jjigae included in the gold package was good and generously portioned, but the kimchi jjigae was a bit salty. I also ordered the mul naengmyeon for $16, which was easily a 10/10 despite being pricey. I’d definitely order it again.
Atmosphere wise, it has a fun nighttime vibe with music. Worth noting they offer a free bottle of soju for leaving a Google review, which may explain the high number of 5-star reviews.
Overall, I’d rate Daebak a 7.5/10. There aren’t many KBBQ options open late, so I’ll probably come back!
I felt the portions here were smaller compared to the Chinatown location. At the Chinatown location, you can spend just $50 and be completely full, and you get free banchan refills if you politely ask. But here, I had to order extra combos, there were no free banchan refills, and each person ended up spending over $75.
Another thing is the service attitude at the Chinatown location is very welcoming. The servers genuinely care about customer satisfaction. Here, the server kept dropping the meat off the grill onto the table, and then PUTTING IT BACK ON THE GRILL without any apology.
I will never go back to this Daebak. Even though the Daebak in Chinatown is usually busier, the experience is infinitely better.
time it felt like less meat, and felt rushed. Shout out to the older woman who greets up front! She gave my daughter a KPOP Demon Hunter charm for her backpack she was so happy!
