Dae Gee hit the spot. The flavors are legit Korean BBQ, but with a little Texas flair that actually works. The meats were well-marinated, slef-cooked (also can order cooked), and fresh. Sides were decent, and everything came out fast without feeling rushed. Service was friendly, attentive, and kept the table moving without hovering. If you're craving real Korean BBQ but want something that still feels local, this is the place. I'd absolutely come back. Ambiance is great won't smell like too much bbq after! read more

This is definitely one of the better kbbq spots here in SA. It does run on the pricier end, but the quality and experience makes up for the cost. You can choose to do a la carte or the ayce option. There are two tiers for the ayce: pig out ($38) or swine dine ($48). I'd recommend going with the swine dine if you're eating here because the pig out is not really worth your bang for your buck. (There are other kbbq spots in SA that are cheaper for what you can get for the same meats as pig out and the quality of the meats are not really that much better for the cost.) You can order as many things as you want for the ayce, and it is all cook-yourself. Service is good and the waiters are very attentive to check up on how you're doing. My only complaint, which is a common complaint going to kbbq, is that the ventilation system/fans are not the best, so you'll definitely smell like meat after leaving here. For the premium price point, I expected the ventilation system to be much better. Overall a great experience, which above average food! read more

Thank you Gaby for a wonderful first time experience at Dae Gee. Food was delicious and service was great. We enjoyed all the flavors of the Korean Fried Chicken. The Kim Chee was flavorful! I did take off one star due to the fact that you can order Galbi only once per person not including children. Price is equivalent to other Korean BBQ places in the area however this location has a small meat selection than others. Overall, we enjoyed our first time here and will return in the future. read more

We went for lunch and it wasn't crowded. Food was fresh, and the restaurant was very clean. Our waitress, Gabby, was attentive and kind.

First time here and it was on point! From the moment you walk in, you know you're in for a great experience. We had the bee beem bohp and japchae... incredible! They have the AYCE with do it yourself grill options but we were pressed for time. Can't wait to try that tho. Gaby was our server and was so personable and professional while also taking time to walk us through the menu. We will be back and will most definitely ask for Gaby again. read more

Definitely the best Korean BBQ option in San Antonio. Trust me, I've been to probably all of them but just hadn't had the opportunity to give this one a try. The food was fresh and plentiful with the Pig Out AYCE option, service was fantastically attentive and pricing was just right! Other places are loud, obnoxious and overly crowded. You know the chain ones that I'm talking about. And other places in town are dirty and rundown. This place was just perfect. And with their Tuesday special 2 for $60 Pig Out, there's no reason not to try it out. All the banchan with the meal were yummy and all the meat was perfectly seasoned. We absolutely loved our waitress, Gaby. She was so sweet, helpful and attentive. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

First experience with Korean Bbq and honestly it was a great one! The experience was wonderful, food was super delicious, staff was very attentive, and the owner even dropped by to show his appreciation for us stopping by! The restaurant is well kept and unlike previous experiences with cooking food at the table, it wasn't hot! We did the Pig Out which is a no-brainer if you're wanting to try all the different meats! Will be back for date night! read more

disappointing. Someone had written the kimchi was too vinegar, which is true, and the meat was tough. I got the galbi. The meat was a good piece. Well cooked, on the tougher side, but medium rare, tender. The problem was the marinade was too heavy soy sauce -- so it was too salty. Maybe that's good for business because then you'll eat more rice, but this place won't be on my return list read more

Review from a Korean person's perspective this was a disappointing experience. I saw some great reviews which heightened my expectations. Unfortunately, maybe the reviews were from people who never had good Korean food or first time trying. We got the unlimited dinner (weekend) menu, where they offer you a little bit of all the meats. The beef brisket and regular pork belly was literally 2 pieces and the rest being everything marinated. The marination on all the meats had the same base with some being a little more spicy. After a while, we were so tired of the marination flavor. I think they can add more unmarinated meat to try. Next part to call out is their tiny portions of side dishes (banchan) which is traditional at Korean bbq. The two tiny pieces of Korean pancakes really made me laugh! The refills that you ask for is better than the start. I can tell the rice and the side dishes were old by appearance and taste. Overall, I would not recommend this place if you've already tried Korean bbq. read more

I went to an event and a member of the staff recommended I come try this place out. So my wife and I decided to try it, it was phenomenal! The crew working took good care of us and ensured we were happy. As an adults we thought to ourselves we should have brought a meat temp lol. The place was packed with people and it was fun to watch everyone doing their own thing. Love this spot and definitely coming again! read more

I'm on a weekend getaway with my wife. We had just come out of a massage and spotted Dae Gee across the parking lot. Checked Yelp and found stellar reviews, so we decided to stop in. Decor and ambiance is spot on and festive. It feels intimate and a little dim, which is perfect for date night. Tables were beautiful. My wife noticed them immediately. We were promptly greeted and seated by the hostess, who gave us a quick intro to the menu. Our waitress Gabby was absolutely fabulous and super patient in walking us through the menu and the process. I have had Korean BBQ once or twice, but my wife is new to the experience. I. asked a lot of questions and she was the sweetest and smiled through it all. She was very familiar and fluent with the menu and had zero struggle with pronouncing or remembering anything. A+! The owner Tommy also stopped by to say hello and check in, which was a very nice touch. The food was great. All we could eat and then some. Everything was fresh and delectable. The mango wing sauce is out of this world, as are the short ribs. The gook soup has a fabulous garlic flavor, and the dumplings were perfect. Stop in at Dae Gee! You won't regret it. read more

As an East Coast native with a Korean stepdad, I often crave authentic Korean food without having to fly to NYC or drive up to Dallas. This spot in Stone Oak (on the corner of Blanco and Huebner) scratch that itch. *No pics this time because I was too hungry to play photog* We walked in early on a Saturday evening--easy parking and immediate seating by Tommy, the owner, who recently relocated from Denver to bring K-BBQ to San Antonio. Smart move considering this is Military City, USA. If they ever extend their hours, this place will easily become a late-night go-to for a bunch of service members. The bar isn't heavy on premium liquor, but that's to be expected--this is a soju and beer kind of joint. My Vampiro cocktail was a bit sweet, but Tommy came through with limes and a bonus vodka shot, which shows he's a pro at customer service. My husband had a Sapporo, and thanks to ordering two drinks, we scored a free lychee soju-- all we do is win, win, win. My family of four went all-in with the $48/pp Swine Dining option, which basically covers the whole menu. BLUF: Wings: Garlic soy needed seasoning in the meat; mango gochujang was the favorite according to the rest of my family. Cheese corn: Fine, but forgettable since it was just corn under a melted (Oaxaca or mozz(?)) cheese. Mandu: Flavorful filling and fried perfectly, likely not housemade, but still satisfying. Kimchi jjigae: Lacked the sourness--needed more fermentation. Banchan: Surprisingly decent. The baechu kimchi and oi kimchi were tasty, if a bit young/underfermented. My husband raved about the eomuk bokkeum (fish cake). Daikon was basic but a safe choice if you love the radish. BBQ meats & seafood: Service was fast and attentive. Galbi and scallops were standouts. Bulgogi, shrimp, and spicy chicken were decent but felt like they shared the same base marinade, just spiced up with gochugaru/gochujang. Pork belly was too thin/skimpy and the other meats just didn't make an impact. Our servers, Jacob and Alex, were fantastic--on point, friendly, and efficient. With a military discount, great service, generous portions, and an overall satisfying meal, we left stuffed and happy, and feeling welcomed by Tommy who was helping his staff and engaging with customers all evening. Total was $230 for four, and we'll absolutely be back. read more

I really wanted to rate this place higher. The service here is great, everyone greeted us when we walked in at dinner time on a Friday. It has the typical KBBQ setup with the rectangular gas grills on the table. Some might be circular, ours wasn't. Some of the seats are really close to your neighbor and I don't think I would like that for 2 hours. We ordered the AYCE. The Banchan was ok, I had to order about 5 potato salads because they were so small, and that's ok. Cheese corn was a little watery for my liking, the cucumber kimchi was great. The issue for me is they give you all the meats. I just wanted some beef and some pork. I was compelled to eat all this extra food that I'm not too fond of. It's not a bad setup if you don't know what you want, or if you never had KBBQ and want to try it all. read more

Great food! Excellent Service! Really like the short ribs and chicken wings. Wait staff is always very nice. Only drawback... no bean sprouts! read more

The experience here was just ok! With the many options now in town for Korean bbq this place is falling short on my list I came here with a picky friend which made the experience even more bad. I never look at the utensils which I probably should! She was holding the fork with so many grease stains on it. It took for ever to get a new set of utensils... The meat was nothing to really talk about. The grill was already dirty before even starting to grill. He passed by many times saying he will change it. For the price the value of what we got is mediocre. I don't think I will ever return read more

We came here for an early Valentines day dinner on a Tuesday. Our server, Alexa, was great. She is personable and prompt with taking and delivering our orders. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice and quiet. It was quite a drive getting there but well worth it. read more

Amazing!!! We showed up on Valentine's Day,!I was able to call in & save our seats with a 30 minute wait time... we showed up and waited about 10 minutes then got seated..the nice lady up front was super sweet.. Alex was our waiter.. it was busy, we had to remind him several times on some of the items we ordered. But, we understood bc it was a bit busy. The owner Tommy came to our table and just made everything so much better... he brought us the dishes we asked for and brought us jalapeños I had asked for previously but I was told they didn't have any by the waiter. All in all our experience here was great! The chicken wings are delicious, super crispy & savory! The ambiance was great, we lived all the accommodations and this family owned business made it known they were there to help! Definitely recommend read more

I like this resto. Food was fresh and seemed healthy without being overly spicy. My friend ordered chicken dumplings and tofu soup both of which were good. Then we got the bibimbap, japchae and mackerel. I liked the bibimbap the best out of the three entrees. My friend really liked the mackerel and appreciated the way it was cooked. I personally didn't like the texture or taste so much. Japchae was okay. Other side dishes were good as well, especially the pickled fish and the salad. Service was prompt. I recommend this spot! read more

The best Korean AYCE in San Antonio! My family and I have gone to a good number of Korean restaurants and we can say that this place beats the rest in this city. Their motto is Pig Out. What better way to do it with the default of two grills per table! Service is fast and with a smile. The meats are good quality and variety. The owner is very friendly and hands on. He stopped by our table to chat several times which we appreciated very much. We will definitely be back. read more

$38 for all you can eat kbbq, except you can only choose for 6 different meats . $48 for all you can eat but adding shrimp , scallop and short ribs to the all you can eat menu . INSANE . The meats SUCK ! Awful awful meats , super chewy and no flavor . Save your money . They also add 20% gratuity for parties 5+ . We had four adults and my 2 year old who only got a fried rice . Our total was 280 for only 4 of us . $46 of that total was the gratuity for literally the lamest food I have ever had . Awful awful food . Save your money and just go to kpot , at least they have real kbbq there and actual flavor . I never usually write bad reviews even with bad service or bad food , but this was probably the worst worst most expensive food I have ever had . The menus smelled so bad . They smelled like dirty mop . read more

Moved here from LA this year and have been looking for a KBBQ spot and can say I finally found THE ONE We went with the premium set which gets you more food than you can probably finish. Everything from the hospitality (Shout out to Gaby and Tommy!) to the Galbi to the side dishes was phenomenal! They even make their own BBQ sauces, so we picked up a few bottles for home. Definitely check it out if you wanna celebrate with a big group or just pig out with your significant other after a long day of work. read more
