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.
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.
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.
great first time experience! amazing food, service, and atmosphere. love the snack shop in the back too! my addiction to beef bulgogi is now out of control!!
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.
Food was delicious. It took 15min to get drink refills. We waited a long time to get refills and orders. There were lots of options but you could only order 3 kinds of meat at a time. I am gluten intolerant and no one could tell me for certain if things were gluten free. That was just irritating. Everything was "I think so" We paid $365 for 4 adults and 2 kids and left hungry. They charged us all for crab legs because we shared one crab leg from the pot with one other person. Cute Korean atmosphere and little convenience store.
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!
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.
Auce-what more can I say?? Staff was super friendly and the bonus add on of auce Crablegs can't beat. Busy establishment so be prepared to wait a little bit worth it.
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.
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.

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 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

$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

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

This is a cute little place. The food is always amazing here. Service is always great. We did the Christmas Special and the crab legs and seafood boil were on point! Sauce was delicious for the boil. Kong was an exceptional server! He was very attentive and quick. Answered our questions thoroughly. All in all we will come back again! read more

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

The food here is great, service is just as great. Our server Anna, gave us some great recommendations on what to start off with. I will suggest that you make eating here the last thing for the night, because you will smell like smoke or the food that you cooked. read more
