Came here a few months back and the food was terrible, and the service was super slow. We had sat down and were waiting over 20 minutes before someone came to take the order, and then the server disappeared for the next hour. Even if we had wanted to order more, they were nowhere to be found and we had to get up and find someone just to get the bill. read more

Not worth $40. Unlimited? Not really..I was told if I want additional short ribs that will be extra. I asked several times for additional rice and I was ignored. Asked for no pork and still was given it. 1st and last time I go. read more

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - various dishes of food on a table - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is the second Dae Gee I've been to. I really like this location better than the one in Westminster. It's not that this place is better when it comes to the food, both places are the same. But the atmosphere here is a lot better. I feel like I'm in a little BBQ place in South Korea, or a little BBQ place in Japan. Loved that. Service was great. I think they might've been down a few people but they did their job great! We got the unlimited dinner, $24 a person. Totally worth it. The sides are all great and the meat is fresh and tasty. They changed our grill out without us having to ask, which is awesome service. Some other places don't unless you ask. I loved it. We'll be back again for more delicious food! One last thing, be ready to smell like BBQ when you leave. read more

As an avid Korean Bbq fan back in California, I really wanted to love this place. In fact, I gave it two different chances over the course of a year, hoping it would become my new Colorado K Bbq spot. While I don't think it's bad by any means, I always leave feeling underwhelmed for a few reasons. 1. The $38 AYCE option here is pretty overpriced in my opinion. Now, I realize inflation is hitting everything pretty hard lately, but this still comes in about $10 more than all of the comparable places I eat at regularly (take for instance Gen KBBQ in California at $27). 2. For as much as we did pay for AYCE, I wasn't super impressed with the cut or quality of the meats. Our second order of brisket was brought out as one frozen block of 1" squares that were almost impossible to cook because they were so small and frozen (looked more like fatty scraps than brisket). For $38 bucks per person to start, and after dozens of other KBbq experiences over the years, I just expected more for this kind of money. All in all, we ordered one coke (which had absolutely no carbonation), one beer, and 2 AYCE orders and it was almost 100 dollars before tip. I guess I'll begrudgingly continue to look for something that rivals what I'm used to from Kbbq... especially for the price point read more

Tried this place with high hopes bec our favorite place was closed. Not bad but not great either. As someone else said, good for the naive palate. Service was fine and ambience is cool. read more

Pros before I get started: Clean establishment taking Covid precautions. Unique dining experience. Went in on my birthday it was a Sunday afternoon to be honest looking back the host seemed a little agitated that we walked into his half empty restaurant without a reservation. Should've been my queue to leave, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. You see I've been wanting Korean BBQ for years the experience I had here was far from what I had envisioned. I think the experience was cool cooking on the table but beyond that can't say I would return. Food besides short ribs and some of the sides wasn't super flavorful. The server was nice had only been there a few days didn't know much about the menu, I would try Korean BBQ again just not this location. read more

This is not fit for human consumption, like it's namesake this is food for pigs. Subpar quality barely fit for human consumption. This lackluster dining experience was made worse by the explosive bathroom experience and uprising of vomit and half digested meat. The side dishes are truly sad, the famine in Korea ended nearly 70 years ago, this is nowhere close to Korean food. I was warned that this place was nothing special but having seen the Diners, Drive ins and Dives episode I risked it. I'm not one to complain but Guy Fieri must've been paid off or drunk to give his endorsement of the slop at this barnyard. Not only were we incensed by the poor quality of meat which all smelled of the animals they derived from as if the chicken was still clucking, the pork still oinking and the beef still mooing we were even more flabbergasted by the fact that an all you can eat meal came to $100. The sense of being conned and screwed out of money in exchange for what amounts to food fit for a prisoner of war camp cannot be understated. A guaranteed food illness and night of committing war crimes in the toilet, your toilet will never be the same. You'll probably have to move with the damage inflicted. If you have any respect for your stomach, wallet, and toilet. Avoid this place with a burning passion or else you can look forward to an experience not promised on the menu, a night on the toilet. read more

Lots of options for meat and soju. It has a chill atmosphere for family and friends. You can also order an entire and go alone without the BBQ experience. One of the waiter kept hovering over my sister for being vegetarian, they thought she was going to eat the meat and would charge her another person if she ate one piece so they were staring at the table and kept walking by lol. I understand the reasoning but it made the experience a little uncomfortable. read more

Visited this place on a late Wednesday evening. I walked in and was ignored, had to ask for a table. After getting a table, I was told that they do not offer the unlimited bbq for parties of one person. Understandable I guess. I felt very dismissed during the entire experience. Got an entree and food was good as always. Again, just disappointed with the customer service given. Please fix this and treat your customers like they aren't intruders. read more

Phenomenal dinner! Cravings satisfied, hangry banished! Tonite's date night, we did the unlimited BBQ with Galbee add-on...which I have to continue to recommend . It is worth it to enjoy samplings if each meat but definitely ask for seconds of the Galbee (the best) and Sogogi Bulgogi. The marinade is simple but abundent with flavor! The sides are unlimited too and they have a nice variety of Kimchee. Diners will definitely get their monies worth with this choice. Service again was top notch as we continued to get refills and re-orders at the perfect time. And the staff changed out the grill with our second order. Service with a smile! Dine out on the enclosed patio. There is a good breeze that flows thru and the ambiance is pleasant and casual. I really love this place! read more

As a fellow Korean, I do not recommend. This place is for the naive looking for short lived ventures. The service is awful. The rice, unclean. Mandu, fried dumplings (not even accurate) Way too expensive for fake Korean food. Only thing good was the beer and kimchi. read more

Worst customer service imaginable. Like, shockingly terrible. The lady taking the prefers is inattentive, impatient and non communicative when solving an issue. That was my first and LAST time in. read more

Loved it! Service and food were super tasty! Got a bibimbap. Good quantity, standard price for the quality. I really appreciated how attentive the staff was. Even thought they were super busy they stopped by frequently to check on us and even brought us some sake on the house. Just such a nice and delicious experience! read more

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

My favorite place... got for the endless BBQ, service is always amazing. Thank goodness for the sauces; and the sides YUM Update: Step up your game on cleaning and sanitation skills. The reply of you cook the meat in the grill and the grill walls can be dirty. This is not the correct response from a restaurant, especially during Covid. Have some pride in your operations, Joseph Kim can you not hire people with better hospitality during massive workforce lay-off? This is sad and truly unacceptable on many level. So much for supporting local restaurants, we will think twice about visiting or recommending your new locations. read more

While the KBBQ scene in Denver can't touch anything in New York or LA, Dae Gee is a "five star for the area" kind of KBBQ spot. As a new location in Aurora, it's better than the incumbents for KBBQ, including Aurora favorite Seoul BBQ (which has a lot of non-BBQ Korean food, so it's still really good). It has great service, high quality food, and plenty of banchan to keep you happy. One of the best things about Dae Gee is that it is probably the least intimidating KBBQ that any non-Korean will ever go to. Typically, the servers speak English, the menus are written by a native English speaker, and nothing comes as a huge surprise. The servers ask if you've done it before, and I'm sure they'd help a ton if you are a first-time KBBQ person. I've BBQed many times in the method of my homeland, and I still really enjoyed how accessible they make the menu for non-Koreans. The banchan is fresh. Meat tastes better than Mr. Kim's. And they're happy to hook you up with the meats like Arby's. The one bummer is that you only get one round of galbi without paying a huge surcharge, which is very sad. No place in LA charges extra for galbi, so that's just not right. If it's your first time doing KBBQ, here are some tips: - Go crazy on the banchan. They'll refill whatever you want. Do not call banchan tapas. - Start with the Chadol (brisket) to get the grill all greased up, and then follow up with the galbi (short ribs) so you get the good stuff while you're still hungry. - Since you're out of galbi, alternate between the brisket and bulgogi. - Do get the lettuce wraps (sangchoo) and make little lettuce tacos with your favorite banchan and meat. - Dae Gee has sauces on the table. They're not common at Korean restaurants, but what the hell, why not? Overall, the environment at Dae Gee is fun, laid back, and a cool place for KBBQ vets and newbies alike. It's the best KBBQ in the Denver area, and I'll be a regular here. read more

All you can eat, but beware you are limited on selection. You only get one serving of Galbee which is the best meat. You get 5 meats which is bogus compared to typical AYCE KBBQ places. We realistically only ordered 3 meats - beef bulgogi, brisket, and pork belly. I'd be okay with a limited selection if it wasn't for the $30 price. You could opt in for unlimited galbee for an additional $20 which is ridiculous! Despite the price, the food was decent! You do have to keep asking and the servings of meat get smaller as the night goes on - but the meats and sides were solid. You have to ask for sauces like sesame oil, but they did give a bean paste that was good. Overall decent, but just not worth it. If you've never had kbbq you'll probably enjoy this place, but it's hard to justify when you've had better read more

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - Menu - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Very spacious seating, good location. I came here to try it out after receiving a special buy one get one per yelp elite deal. Brought my significant other here and they point us to the all you can eat menu which is normally $24 per person for as long as you want. The table was right by the bar, there was a good list of beer and soju/sake to start, I got a light korean beer, not bad. The meat options were chicken, pork and beef, in which galbin is the only meat you can't get unlimited. My favorite were chicken and bulgogi. The side dishes were good, the service was extremely friendly. Overall an great experience, highly recommend! read more

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

It just wasn't my thing. A friend suggested this place for lunch on a Sunday after a short shopping trip to the blue and white store. I was WAY too much food and WAY more expensive then I realized. I've never had potato salad at a korean place, that was pretty good I must admit. I am not an experienced korean food eater so that could be a factor as well. It was a fun experience but it just really wasn't my thing. They do have a lunch special during the week which would have probably been better suited for me both portion and price wise. read more

So this was on our list for a while. Food network featured this and here we are! We didn't quite know what we were getting into. We decided do the unlimited, and grill our own. Try it ALL! The sauces, great. Meat, tender and YUM! Sides, so many choices and loads of stuff I don't know I would have tried on my own but so good! The employees and our server were super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was cool! You'll leave full and happy! read more

I visited the west Denver location previously and stopped here on my way to the airport. I was eating alone for lunch but wanted the ayce kbbq and to cook it myself. Initially the staff told me repeatedly I was not allowed to do ayce kbbq alone so I was seated alone. Fortunately the waiter asked the manager and allowed me to do the ayce alone so I appreciate that. Overall the food was good and the meat came out quickly. I personally like the beef brisket and pork belly. It would've been better if I didn't have to argue/discuss about the ayce option. read more

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Went for lunch. Got one dae gee lunch special and a seafood pancake. Total was $27. After tip $31. For very little food. Like- I'm heading to h-mart right now to buy some more food for lunch. Oh well. We tried. Also: the amount of banchan (side plates) given was laughable. And the amount in each plate was even more minuscule. I understand that there sides, but you can give your customer more than 2 half sides of sliced cucumber. read more

Stopped by at 11am today. I'm the first one there, but they will not seat me for AYCE BBQ because you must be in a party of 2 or more. I guess they don't want my money. read more

To those who never have eaten Korean BBQ before and want to try it for the first time, this is the place to go to! FYI: AYCE is a fixed priced equivalent to dinner AYCE on the weekend, so definitely go on the weekday. Aka: $24/dinner $18/lunch The server brings you the works! Bon chon comes out first, which is an assortment of small plates of kimchi, pickled radishes, etc. Then comes the pork belly, marinated spicy pork, marinated Rib eye beef, marinated chicken, brisket. Bottom line: it's the basic meats that will ultimately bring you into KBBQ and into what others would have to offer! It's all you can eat so grab yourself more than 5 helpings.. if you can :) read more

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I came in for the official opening of Dae Gee's fourth location and was pleasantly surprised by the fresh, new restaurant style that is way trendier than the other locations. They now have patio seating in addition to the bar and regular indoor seating. The patio seating is absolutely awesome with garage door windows that make the eating area well ventilated (keeps you from smelling like kbbq for the rest of the day). The grills also cook the food way faster and cook longer before needing to be changed. I got the dinner unlimited all you can eat. The meats are of the same quality as the other locations, so they're not the best but worth the money if you eat a lot. I recommend loading up on the beef brisket. The side dishes as always are plentiful and all you can eat as well. Service here is fast and friendly. Check them out if you're in the mood for Korean food! read more

We came here for AYCE Korean bbq and this place did not disappoint. The servers were attentive, the meat and side options were plentiful, their bathroom was clean. Most importantly the food was delicious! Just remember to bring a change of clothing for any plans afterwards because you will smell like cooked meat!! read more

This is a decent Korean BBQ place. They give you a decent number of banchan. They will also give you lettuce, but only if you ask for it. The quality of the meat was good. I was very impressed by the serving staff though. We came at a pretty busy time and was sitted relatively quick. The art of KBBQ service isn't so much about being kind or being attentive, its all about timing your asks. You can't break the flow of grilling and eating, you know what i mean? When you put the last bit of your meat on the grill, they need to be coming by to ask if you want more. This will ensure that you don't sit there will the grill burning with no meat on it. They timed the asks pretty well. All to say, good enough food and good service. read more

By now many people should already know that Dae Gee is synonymous with two things: Amazing service and wonderful food. No matter which location I have visited, service is consistent and food is delicious. Ordering the all you can eat is the best way to go. If you do the math, you're only about $5 away from a dinner compared to eating all that your stomach can handle. The only difference between each location is the neighborhood that you're visiting. You have Broadway and Colorado Blvd which are in more hip parts of the neighborhood. Then you have this location and the Sheridan location which are located in suburbia. Take your pick and either way you won't be disappointed! read more

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - This is part of the ALL YOU CAN EAT. Short ribs that have been marinated. So delicious! - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I am a huge fan of good Korean BBQ, and I admit, growing up in the Los Angeles, the home of K-Town, I was spoiled for amazing options like Gen, Mr BBQ and Baekjeong. Still, this was good, but it was lacking in a couple of areas. First, it was not very busy, but it seemed like pulling teeth to get one of the staff pay attention to you - staring, staring, staring right at them, then a moment of recognition that you are staring at them followed by pretending they never saw your staring at all, so they weren't on the hook to respond to you yet. Second, the variety they offer for the AYCE meal was pretty limited. Several of the meats were not all that tender, and they were sliced at inconsistent thicknesses, which made cooking them evenly take much more attention. Multiple times they meat was frozen so hard together that we had to cook them in a stack to separate them, which almost certainly meant they were frozen multiple times. Third, they didn't offer to replace the grill, even when it was completely covered with burned meat residue - we had to ask for a new one. Not a huge deal, but indicative of poor customer service, especially since they only had maybe 5 tables total to serve between 3 servers. Fourth, they were kind of stingy on how much meat they brought after the first plate. Once, I asked for more of the chicken, which was really good, actually, and they brought me back one piece that must have been about the size of half of one thigh. I asked for more, and they said, "one more piece?" - I answered 3, and they brought 2 even smaller pieces, and a "third that was literally like have a bite, in size." Fifth, they really need to step up their dipping options. They offered 3 different varieties of their same runny, lackluster in house bbq sauces. They didn't taste terrible, but so watered down/runny that the sauce didn't really stick enough to impart much flavor. There are so many good options here that are simple, like green tea salt (one of my favorites), to gochujang, to sesame oil salt and pepper, to ssamjang, that having just their 3 mediocre watered down sauces was very disappointing. They have a lot of potential, but poor execution in several areas made it a 3.5 stars in my book, if I could have given a half. read more

I visited a few Dae Gee locations, this was the first time I have eaten at the Aurora location. The food was delicious and what I expected, but the service left a little to be desired. I ordered wings for an appetizer, which were never provided. I had to constantly ask for side dishes, drink refills, and more meat. Overall it was a good experience, they were busy but I still think the service could've been a little better, and more attentive. It would be good if all locations offered more than one serving of short ribs. read more

Food is ok, we were not impressed with the service, several things: 1. It's all you can eat unless it's the one expansive item then you can only have two pieces lol 2. Went with my in-laws, they didn't want bbq while we did, they went out of their make it harder for them to order something else 3. It's our eight yrs old birthday, we were told to bring our own utensils, no knife was allowed to use to cut our cake either. They brought plate and fork reluctantly, which kinda makes me doubt if they are the customer and we are trying to make them happy, never a good thing for a restaurant. 4. Rude service throughout, it's not like they are overtly rude by swearing or something but just overall left a bad taste like they don't really want us there because we are too much trouble for celebrating birthday there. Will not go back, Sticking with Seoul and Mr Kim from now on. read more

This place is horrible. Service is bad. Over price, not really all you can. One short rib per person. The side dish is leftover.

Do not recommend. Terrible customer service. From out of town and this place is one of the very few that has an all you can eat option for KBBQ. The waitlist on the Yelp app does not work for what is shown as available. My group of 6 attempted to eat here two times in one week and both times the hosts were very rude and unwelcoming. I asked why they had a waitlist option on Yelp if they don't offer it and the lady stated I should've called.... I didn't bother calling because I didn't expect the waitlist to not be accurate. The lady denied us service completely and didn't offer anything to accommodate. Very frustrating considering we planned our day around dinner knowing the "good" things we've heard about this place. read more

Consistent good food. I get the lunch portions and it's the perfect amount. Sauces are great too.

This place is the best!! The ambiance is perfect for a fun sit down meal with friends. Sometimes the service was spotty, but we were there on a busy holiday (Mother's Day), so it was understandable. We always order the unlimited option and we are so glad we do. I literally LOVE their kimchi and kimchi pancakes, and the meat is incredible (not a single tough piece in the bunch)! The short ribs are the best and the pork is so juicy. It's an amazing fun place to cook and enjoy a delicious meal. read more

I've been to multiple locations of Dae Gee and been to the aurora location multiple times but it seems like it has gone downhill. We were a party of 5 and every time we asked for additional meat they would give us a serving for half (maybe one) person. Refer to picture. Once the meat was done everyone only got one or two pieces of meat. The same story for side dishes. We like our meat with lettuce. We would ask for lettuce, and the waitress would bring us 4 pieces of lettuce. Not even enough for one per person. Very disappointed. They also ran out of brisket half way into our service and didn't offer anything as compensation or discount or premium meats. Service is also disappointing - it took forever to get our refills, and when it did came the portion was tiny! It wasn't even busy on a Sunday night. There were plenty of empty tables all around us. I really like the location since it's close to my house, but I'll most likely take my business elsewhere from now on. read more

This advice for people who have lived in / been to proper Koreatowns/Korea. Denver's Korean food is not very good. I advise trying other foods, and not wasting your money at DAE GEE.

Dae Gee Korean Bbq - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

One of the few places I've found (so far) in the area with AYCE Korean BBQ. Why isn't this more of a thing here, Denver? Because it needs to be. Came in on a cold Tuesday night for dinner with the bf and there was nobody in there. I can definitely see how this place would get crowded on the weekends though. Again, ACYE meat - what more do you need? It's a decent size on the inside - a good amount of family sized, picnic tables with grills in the middle. Something about this interior that makes me think I'm in an Asian land somewhere. Short ceilings, wood planks everywhere. I dug it. When we walked in, we were asked if we wanted a table with grill or no grill, so this may be a popular spot for those who are here for other things on the menu besides raw meat. Bee Beem Bhop served in a hot stone, for example, looked bomb. But that night, we were there for the Unlimited BBQ - $24/person for dinner and $18/person for lunch. Unlimited sides included for both with the main difference being that they don't serve the Galbee (short ribs) for lunch. This wasn't my fave anyway, so you're not missing too much. The faves for us were the chicken and pork bulgogi and our favorite anywhere you put us: pork belly. You order as much or as little as you like - service was friendly and quick when we were there. They brought the meat out in small portions, but this is probably not a bad thing. The menu states they will charge for excessive leftover meat. KBBQ on the East Coast means they will bring you the raw meat, but they will also come by often to cook the meat, check on it, take it off the grill when they deem its ready. Here, however, they give you the tools and you are on your own. I like this better though - I like a crispier pork belly, so please leave me and this meat to sizzle and crisp away in peace. Flavorful meat, yummy sides, and my hair and clothes smelling straight like I hot-boxed a grill- all tell-tale signs of a great KBBQ meal. Ps. That apple soju they have - strong, but oh so tasty. read more

I wandered into this place by mistake, but I'm certainly glad I stayed! The bibimap was phenomenal! The service was great and everyone was very friendly! I will definitely be back to try the BBQ experience! read more
