Wow, what a pleasant surprise. I was completely unaware of restaurant. I've never been to Korea so I do not know how it compares to the real thing but what I will tell you is that this was some pretty good BBQ. Very unique in that you get to cook your own main course. Chicken, beef, pork, veggies and/or seafood. The appetizers were excellent, fresh, crisp and tasty. Try the chicken wings, they put BW3's to shame. Fresh cut of rib eye, short ribs, brisket, pork belly cooked to perfection (by me) and you just can't any fresher. Excellent all the way around and if you'd like more, just ask and they'll bring you more. Fresh shrimps and scallops, calamari, you name it, you can cook it. This is such a unique place and the service was quite good. Thank you Nick for being our server, you done good. All in all this was a very experience and to be honest for what you get, a good value at $40 a person. We will tell our friends and we can't wait to bring them here. read more

Well that was interesting! Lots of great flavor here. We went on a Saturday night as a group of six. Booked in a reservation which was a good call because it was packed. Our server was sweet and super knowledgeable, especially given it was her second day. It was a bit chaotic though, in terms of the ordering process and how much things continue to be dropped at the table. Luckily my fam took the reins on ordering and I honestly loved pretty much everything. For $40 it's all you can eat, which certainly seems worth it. You definitely have to be up for grilling your own food because it's a very interactive experience! Such a variety of meats available. Loved all of the sauces and yummy sides too. Only pass for me was mochi dessert but I feel like that's an acquired taste (or should I say texture). Oh and for drinks, worth noting they don't have a full bar so in addition to soft drinks, they have beer, wine, and sake available. We tried the sake and it was actually pretty good! If you're after solid Korean bbq this spot is worth the visit. read more

Solid KBBQ choice! I will begin with the waitstaff was amazing with their service and even provided a comp due to an error for one of our friends however it led to an awkward reaction from a manager that might have been better in private. Nonetheless the vibes of this place were great with music and all tables seeming to be enjoying a solid experience. Now the most important the food which to begin my favorite was the ramen bar with the variety of toppings in the back. I also enjoyed the fired chicken which was a really good appetizer. For the main attraction the variety of meats are solid my favorite being bulgogi or thinly sliced pork. I do wish that they added their own flare on seasonings and sauces to add to the experience overall. read more

I heard a lot of amazing things about Bawi and was looking forward to trying it but was disappointed. It did not live up to the hype and my friend who has been there before was also disappointed as well, saying that maybe they were having an off day. Upon arrival, the staff was very quick to address that they will be with us and got us seated right away. The host counter had a lot of fun items on sale like stickers, pens, and more stationary items. The interior was simple but clean. They played Kpop in the background and had fun drawings on the wall and fairy lights. They also had a little store towards the back of the restaurant, next to the bathroom. They had a ramen bar, were you are able to make your own ramen. They also sold snacks and had claw machines as well. After being seated our waiter, Gabe, gave us some time to look over the menu and place in our first round of meat order. We were given a mini plate of side dishes which included, seaweed salad, pickled radish (purple and yellow), kimchi, fish cakes, and cucumber kimchi. They also gave us a sauce tray with three different sauces, the table also had a few sauces as well. The fried chicken was amazing! It was very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The cheese corn was good! The steamed egg was okay, it had a burnt taste to it, that made it difficult to finish. The meat we were given were okay. A lot of the pieces were more fat than meat. Especially the marinated pork belly and galbi, it just felt like we were grilling fat chunks. The thinly sliced pork belly was interesting, I have been to a lot of kbbq spots, but never received thinly sliced pork belly in shaved/roll form, almost like brisket. The brisket and bulgogi was good. The service was quick and he checked up on us often enough that it wasn't overbearing. Overall, all the staff was very sweet. Every interaction was very friendly and helpful. read more

Recently I completed a 7-day stretch of trying at least one new-to-me restaurant per day. Day five was at Bawi Korean BBQ. I've been intrigued by the concept of Korean BBQ for a while, but I know it's better in a group setting and I'm not often with a group that has the time or desire to give it a try. Not wanting to wait any longer, I visited on my own. I thought it was a little overwhelming both cooking for myself and eating while being cognizant of the time limit per visit, so it can be done solo, but I do recommend being with a group if possible to share the cooking responsibilities. Even by myself, I thought Bawi was a fun time. You can get up to two meats at once and I tried to adhere to the same for sides/appetizers. The Korean corn dog and fried wings were my favorite apps while I didn't like the cheese corn at all. The beef bulgogi was my favorite meat, though I liked the pork belly and short ribs too. The garlic and herb chicken wasn't very impressive. The strawberry mochi dessert was interesting and something I'd get again. read more

This was my second time coming here and I loved it as much as the first! Very cute place with great service. We ordered a bunch of meats, along with the wagyu and we couldn't help but notice how tender and soft the meats all were. Absolutely delicious. We ordered some appetizers as well and they were so good, my favorite was the cheesy corn! They give you some kimchi and seaweed salad to start off with, along with rice. They have additional noodles you can order which is nice with your meal. We had no problems cooking the food on the table grill. Then we got some mochi after and it was sooo good! Would definitely recommend this place for a group but just two people is cool too! read more

Visited Bawi recently and it was my first time going to a Korean BBQ restaurant. Bawi is all you can eat for $40 per person. It's a great deal if you've got a little time! They have tons of selections. We went with a baby and couldn't stay long, so I felt like we didn't get our moneys worth but that was on us. The only downside was the lack of ventilation. I went home and walked straight to the shower to rid the smell out of my hair, I didn't see it, but my dad mentioned a nice little shop in back too! read more

What a great experience! We were looking to go out last Friday, but wanted to do something a little different from the boring sit down restaurants. Called bawi and they didn't have that long of a wait so we rushed right over. The restaurant itself is brand new, everything looked clean and perfect...love the decor btw. Our waitress was so helpful in explaining Korean bbq style dining(we both had never been). I assumed since it was ayce the food quality might be lacking, but it absolutely wasn't! Buckets of crab legs, wagu steak, scallops, they had it all! We started with spring rolls and spicy fried chicken as our appetizers, the fried chicken was amazing! All the sauces were homemade and I loved the lettuce wraps they brought to the table! At one point our grill started smoking(we used a delicious dry rub they have on all the tables) but our waitress immediately showed up and swapped out our grill with a clean one. Price point was what I would expect for the experience($45 a person) Can't wait to go back and try the seafood boil and ramen options. We were just too stuffed at that point. read more

We went to Bawi recently to celebrate the end of the school year for my son and his girlfriend. We enjoyed our dinner and the service was great! The restaurant is nice and has a little shop in the back offering Korean items. This restaurant is all you care to eat and it's a LOT food. I was moderately concerned about cross contamination with some seafood and chicken we ordered because you cook your food at the table and have some limited utensils. But no issues. Everything was tasty. I recommend checking it out!! read more

The food was fresh and really delicious. So many choices and all you can eat for one great price. We will be frequent customers from now on! The service was great too (thank you Nick!). The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable. They have a market in the back too, which has authentic Korean food and snacks for sale. Great place! read more

Perfect place for a celebration! It is so so fun here! Their little market in the back is super too! I will come here as often as I can! read more

My husband and I recently tried Bawi. It's not a bad price for all you can eat. The meat was good quality, and so were the scallops, squid, and shrimp. I really like the marinated short rib, NY strip, and had about 5 orders of the garlic shrimp. I only had the spicy ramen and didn't try the other appetizers or noodles. The ramen was okay. Next time, I plan on trying the glass noodles. Service was friendly and quick. Our grill was changed out when there was too much char. Definitely will be going there again. Oh...can't forget about the desserts. Moon pie ice cream was okay. The ube ice cream bar was good and nice cool end to a meaty meal. read more

If you're going for the experience of Korean BBQ, it's pretty good. The meat is alright, could be better imo. other food is pretty good other than that. Visit both time and the water taste pretty bad twice. I thought it was the metal cup they used but nope, it was their water. I wouldn't drink their water and just get soda until they fix their water system. read more

What an amazing restaurant!!! The food quality was very, very high. And the service was fantastic. We paid for the all you can eat seafood add-on and it was worth it! Oysters, crab legs, amazing raw chili-marinated crab....scallops, shrimp and delicious array of beef. read more

What a great dining experience! From the moment we walked in it smelled fresh and authentic. Love the aesthetics and the Korean TV and music. The tables were perfectly set and we were welcome to immediately begin experience. All you can eat for $40 a person with up charges for the seafood boil or the Wagyu. The regular menu was more than we could consume, but we tried our best to try lots the calamari steaks were the perfect size and tenderness as well as the marinated chicken. New York strips were so flavorful, tender and lean. The short ribs did fall short, unfortunately were very fatty and difficult to chew with not much meat. The spring rolls were fresh and delicious as were the dumplings, corn, noodles and mochi varieties. I can't wait to go back to try the other seafood and meet options. Service was impeccable, helpful, and friendly. They even have a market place and back, which unfortunately I didn't get a picture But totally worth exploring and shopping for your Korean pantry at home. read more

First time at Bawi last evening and wow what an asking place. It's a flat fee ($40) all you can eat Korean BBQ. From apps, to noodle salads, rices, and then of course pork, beef, and chicken. Usually all you can eat places are slow on refills but not here. Our waitress was regularly checking in, giving advice on how to cook and what's good, refilling drinks, etc. The restaurant isn't huge but the set up makes it feel like you have plenty of space. I will 100% be back. The only criticism I could give is I wish they had a dine in, non all you can eat option read more

This place was recommended by a friend. Although it's 30 minutes away from us, we decided to take the drive. We figured it's not over an hour drive like our usual Korean spot in Chicago. We went for their Holiday special, it was $50 AYCE and it included crab legs and seafood boil. We walked in and we were immediately greeted by the young waiters. They seated us and explained the menu. The ambiance was really cute and hip. We got appetizers, some meat options, crabs legs and a seafood boil. For appetizer, we got the Korean fried chicken, dumplings and egg rolls. The chicken was so good, crisp on the outside but juicy on the inside. The dumpling were not the Chinese dumplings I was thinking, but they were still good. The meat cuts were top tier and super juicy and the seafood boil was flavorful. The crab legs were just ok. We also got some boba. I got the Thai tea and husband got the strawberry matcha. They were both soooo yummy ( drinks are not included in the AYCE). The banchan was limited, we only had 3 options, which was disappointing. That was redeemed with their moon pie and ice cream dessert, it was soooo yummy. Overall we had a great meal with friendly service, we are decimal going back. read more

First time at Bawi and definitely not our last! Our family of 6 thought it was a wonderful experience. Kong was our main server and he was very attentive, had great energy, and gave us great suggestions. The other staff members were just as friendly and helpful. The restaurant is spacious, and clean. The selection of meats and seafood were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. We ordered 3 varieties of protein and were also offered a platter of pork including pork belly. Everything was scrumptious! The menu includes some very interesting appetizers. We really enjoyed the Korean Corndogs, spicy Ramen, japchae, and wings. Seaweed salad, kimchi, and pickled radish were also included. You definitely get your money's worth. I can't forget the list of dessert options. We left very satisfied and enjoyed grilling our meal. If you're craving for Korean BBQ, Bawi is the place to go! read more

$40 all you can eat Korean bbq. Can't really go wrong with that. Feel like there could be a bit more choices for the meats, as well as for the condiments, but I'm not complaining. We did have to keep asking the servers to change our heating plate though. Recommend the melona ice cream for dessert if you still have room at the end. read more

So so yummy , perfect food to warm you up in the winter. The service is always so friendly and helpful

absolutely LOVED! bawi Korean BBQ. we had been putting off trying this place until we were super hungry given its only all you can eat, but finally decided we needed to try. menu is filled with tons of different meats (I'm saying at least a dozen different options) that you grill on the table yourself. they all were so well marinated and tender, our personal favorite was the spicy beef bulgogi. there were also plenty of apps & hot or cold noodles to accompany. the table also came with rice, some little accompaniments (kimchi, pickled radishes, etc) & a ton of different sauce options. the menu also has a couple different types of Korean liquors & desserts! TONS of food so have to come hungry, but will definitely be back! read more

Sierrah was our waitress and she was amazing! As a KBBQ newbie, she was really helpful with making recommendations for our order and swapping out the grill when it was charred. The drinks are limited and I thought a bit overpriced, but it is overall quite a good deal for a all you can eat. Lots of side options and we had no shortage of sauces. We had a reservation but also had plenty of space and it was very easy to have a conversation during dinner. The TVs are playing Korean dramas from Netflix and there are some little wall decals in Korean that were cute. The restaurant itself was very clean and had a good selection of meats - definitely recommend the calamari and pork belly! I'm sure we will be back! read more

I am so happy to see several Korean BBQ places opening up in the area. I usually like to wait until a place has been open for several months before checking it out, but had a craving for Korean BBQ and didn't want to drive to Chicago or Madison. We went early on a Friday and no wait yet but by the time we left there were a lot of people waiting. Overall, the food was ok, not the best but also not the worst we have had. It was disappointing they were out of several of the items. Our server was very inexperienced and didn't explain anything so we had to ask a ton of questions. Also, they only have two high chairs, so our little guy had to sit on our laps. We will give Bawi another shot in several months and hopefully they will have worked out some kinks by then. read more

Came here a week after they opened. Our server was awesome! She was running around like crazy since it was so busy but she was very attentive and got us everything we asked. They didn't have all the items on the menu so i gather it as being so new. There was a line out the door on a weeknight as they don't do reservations and it's fcfs. The cooktop is induction so no open flames. Cooked the meat great. We ordered a wide variety of meats and everything was delicious and fresh. The wagyu isn't A5, if you're wondering. We got it just to try but I'd pass on that. They do serve alcohol which is a nice compliment to kbbq. I'd give it a little bit to settle down and for them to get in their groove. Definitely will be coming back! It is similar to spots you'd find in bigger cities like Chicago, LA or New York. If you've never been to Korean barbecue, YouTube before going lol. read more

Service was amazing. Food is delicious! Highly recommend! Bring an empty stomach so you don't order too much and not be able to eat it. They do charge for uneaten food so I highly suggest not eating before coming (ie skip breakfast if you're coming for lunch). No public wifi would be the only downer but it's ok. Worked out anyway. They do not have a kids menu though so not a place for kiddos. Great place for gatherings with friends and family! read more

Today was our first time going to Bawi and the restaurant looked clean and we were taken to our seats right away. Our server made our first time here a wonderful experience! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and she was more than willing to bring us more of the sides that we asked for. The kimchi, pickled relish and cucumbers are to die for!!! (The cucumbers here are the closest thing to din tai fung's cucumber salad #iykyk) The wagyu was my favorite meat by far. The meat portions are great! She also recommended a drink for me to try and it was super refreshing. Overall, she made us feel very welcome here.

Stopped in on a whim. Never had Korean BBQ before, we were kindly greeted by our server, sorry man forgot your name, however he was very kind and knowledgeable about how the process works, he recommended a few different things to try, and even knew what was Gluten free and things to stay away from. He even recommended a few beverage choices of some Korean Beer! We had the Bawi's special combo, with some shrimp. He coached us on how to prepare each cut of meat, and what to look out for. After we finished our first couple dishes he promptly returned to see how we were managing. We then ordered the marinated pork belly and scallops. Highly recommend! The overall feel of the atmosphere was great, lots of smiling wait staff, friendly and welcoming. When we make our return to the area we will be returning to Bawi's read more
