1. Idk what I had! My apologies as I was with friends who frequent Korea! 2. This was a great experience for me. I've never been to a Korean BBQ or even had Koren food fr. This was delicious!!! The oil stuff kinda taste just like sesame oil and salt but it was good. The customer service was great. Korean culture is for the youngest to serve which I loved, and the oldest is to pay (boooooo). The waiter was helping the youngest and it was great. I didn't take many pics, just videos lol I was elated and I can't wait to return! read more

Im just going to leave this review for our server. Se told us that we have to pay the suggested TIP! That's the cooking for you for bar b q tip. Really? We paid 15 percent because we cooked majority ourself. And it was just two of us. And we should be able to pay what ever tip we please. She stand next to us and points out the suggested 20 percent tip we have to pay. There was never a refill with water or any of the side dishes. So I dont feel like I need to pay 20 percent tip. My husband paid anyways since he was nicer than me. read more

Dae Jang Keum - Korean Near Me - Troy, Michigan

I was not a fan of this location. My biggest turn off was the restroom. It smelled like it was backed up sewage in the women's restroom. The food at this location was not bad, but not my favorite. I had the bulgogi stew and it was quite different from when I order at other Dae Jang Keum franchise. It had a lot of extra items and were missing items that it typically has. The side dishes were kind of lacking and were not that good. The waitstaff was nice at least which was a plus. The best things was the cinnamon tea. That was something I have not had at the other location. It was such a refreshing tea. read more

First time was deliciously successful. Tried all sorts of items, enjoyed them all. Authentic tasty place I recommend. read more

I have eaten at this restaurant several times with visitors and for my birthday. The korean food here is very good, the family usually get the Korean BBQ Keum combo with the soup, Banchan, and the Meats, which have been consistently good everytime when we ate here. The staff got our orders correct, and I do love their steamed Egg in this restaurant. Very spacious place where there are many tables where you can cook Korean BBQ and can hold many people per table as guests. Overall 4.3/5 read more

Was pleasantly surprised when we were able to book a party of 14 at 5:30pm for 6pm on a Saturday evening. Inside is very spacious and there were only four or five tables being served at the time. We were seated in a front section for bigger parties and the table setup was strange. There was a long section with the grill in the middle then just a metal bar and then the second table began with a six inch gap and just the metal bar. The second table also did not have a built in grill in the table but a portable grill was placed on top. It was a bit disjointed. By the time we ordered there were many more tables filled which the impact was immediately felt as there were not enough servers. They removed the portable grill (maybe as we had children near that side) and were cooking meat for us at an empty table behind us. At first some of the servers started cooking off the meat but then they were so busy that they weren't able to keep track of some of the meat and the pork belly was burned on one side. We weren't given new meat or offered a refund. I understand that they were quite busy. On to the food. Coming from Chicago where there is an abundance of Korean bbq the food was ok. The banchan was pretty tasty. Kimchi had a great spice and acidity to it. The steamed egg was soft and lush with egg flavor. The radish was sweet and tangy with a crunch. Standard potato salad and fishcakes. They had eggplant fried with rice flour that I have not had before. It lacked flavor but the rice flour texture was nice. The seafood pajun was done well as it was crispy with chew to the interior and decent amount of seafood. Had an order of jajameng and japchae for the kids and both were on the sweeter side but kids enjoyed them. The meat itself was pretty good. We went with bulgogi, kalbi and thick pork belly. We had asked for sesame oil and salt/pepper but sadly never received them given how busy they were. Only sauce provided was the fermented soy bean paste. We did receive a second round of banchan, but had to ask. read more

The food is good but the service is not that great. I've been going here for a long time but it seems like standards have fallen over my last few visits. Each time we were sat, and then ignored for 15-20 mins. This last time I was about to just walk out and go down the street to Chung Ki Wa. Very disheartening to see. read more

Dae Jang Keum - BBQ for 2 - Korean Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Their pork feet and marinated boneless short ribs quality declined drastically overtime. Quite disappointing.

Got in really quickly. Nice selection of meats and seafood for bbq. I like that they helped at the grill at the start but I wanted to do the rest myself and it seemed that wasn't the way to do it. Love all the sides, great kimchi! Parking is crazy with the two grocery markets in the same strip mall. Park away from the restaurant or risk your car getting dented from people parking too close to you or shopping cars ramming into you - or you getting hit by cars in the lot. It's nuts. Gratuity included regardless of party size so read your receipt carefully. read more

Dae Jang Keum - Korean Near Me - Troy, Michigan

This place has been our local go-to for Korean BBQ since long before the trendy new places arrived. I have taken family not used to ethnic (read: spicy) food and everyone can find something they like among the banchan side dishes and variety of meats. We usually start with a savoury seafood pancake. While grilling the meat, we especially like the pork belly simply seasoned with sesame oil and salt & pepper. I appreciate the "auntie" servers helping to grill when we have a big group. A nice touch is the cinnamon tea and cut fruit to end the meal. read more

Been to a few Korean Bbq places in the area and this is by far my favorite. Its pretty big on the inside and it can get really busy on the weekends so expect a wait! We went with the combo for 2. It starts with your choice of dumplings or edamame, and steamed eggs, then 4 different meats - bulgogi, kalbi, bbq chicken and shrimp, all the sides and purple rice (which is so good). The meal ends with a cinnamon type drink. The food is cooked at the grill on the tabletop by staff and it comes out pretty quick. They also offer hot pots and food you can order if you're not looking for Korean bbq. I also ordered dumpling soup and hot green tea which was pretty good. The dumplings were really good and everything was filling and hearty which is what you expect at a Korean bbq place. On a side note, they do offer private karaoke rooms you can rent which is a really fun event with a group of friends! read more

Thank you for the great experience! My friends and I enjoyed the BBQ meats and all the wonderful side dish's! Service was great and we all enjoyed sharing and tasting the different meats. The spicy chicken, boneless ribs and Honey Pork were fantastic. For best flavor, make a reservation and request a table with the built in grill. read more

Dae Jang Keum - Great experience with friends! We got the Korean BBQ. - Korean Near Me - Troy, Michigan

First of all, if you're having BBQ please note they already charge 18% tips on your bill. Food was generally fine. Coming from Baltimore and LA this was really nothing to write home about but it wasn't bad. Service was quick and excellent. Portions and banchans were fine. The rice they used were a bit on the too moist side for my liking, but overall it was a fulfilling dining experience. read more

The service is absolutely TERRIBLE!! Placed online order, went to pick it up & they claimed they had nothing, I must have called wrong location. Showed the kid the order, claims wrong location again. Went to call, called and yes this was the right location. Went in again and this time spoke with who I assume was the mgr. looked at my order & claims somehow my order was missed & it will be at least another 25 minutes (already had been there 30 trying to find the order) read more

We've tried several of the Korean BBQ places in this area and find this to be our favorite. Prices are ok - it's always an expensive meal. Service can be hit and miss, but we got great service. Food was great - slightly better than the others. Recommended. read more

Enjoyed this experience although a bit intimidating and didn't ask as many questions as I should have. I was delighted at the little salads and dumplings were amazing! Enjoyed the hot pot - lots of different flavors and kept steaming hot on our table with a burner. There was a birthday event the night we were there and the lights went down and music was played! Will have to return and ask some further questions! read more

Alright. This was my very first time trying Korean Bbq. Had no idea what to expect. There's two options: you can order a meal where the meat is already cooked, or order the raw meet and cook it yourself or have the waitress cook it for you. At the table there lies a built in grill/hot top where you can cook the meat. Kimchi: 10/10 good rich tangy flavor and texture Vegetable Freshness: 3/10 Onions could have been a little more crispy, they were sort of stale. Still tasted fine. Oh my, the broccoli was fake news lol straight from a freezer bag and damp. Seriously for the price charged they should offer fresh vegetables, at a minimum. Meat Freshness: 6/10 it depends on what you get, the beef cuts and pork was ok, was probably stored frozen then thawed the day of. Did not have a lot of texture. Both Pork and Beef was extremely chewy and fibrous. Not a good sign. Portion Size: 1/10 They were very, very small. Regardless if it's a precooked dish or you do the cooking at the table. Flavor: 7/10 Value: (negative) -10 /10 Yes my rating scale is possible lol...So insanely high priced for the low quality of food and the microscopic tiny portions. I spend over $50 and was still hungry after. My group and I ordered a few pork, beef, and veggie dishes. The beef was very stringy/chewy similar to that of bubble gun, and lacked flavor, low quality cheap cuts. Pork quality and flavor was better but again, very tiny portion and impossible to chew. Overall an ok place, apparently this is how all Korean BBQ places are in Southeast Michigan. No excuse for the low quality meats and veggies plus the tiny portion sizes. read more

Great foods, service and ambiance. Price are affordable for groups. One of the best Korean place in Sterling Heights

Amazing food! Don't go near closing time tho, you will get horrible service because they want to turn the lights off and lock the door the second it hits their scheduled closing time. I'm sure if I went earlier the service would be better. read more

I was really looking forward to this meal, but it didn't go as I hoped. I was looking forward to having a nice cool Naengmyeon. While the menu called it simply "noodle soup" it clearly pictured Naengmyeon with transparent buckwheat noodles and choices of cold or spicy underneath it as would be expected when ordering Naengmyeon. What I got was some sort of salty ramen that didn't resemble the picture at all. I decided to try it because we had been there well over an hour before our meal came. It was really disappointing and not something that I would recommend or order again. Regarding our service I'm not sure what happened. We had been seated for 45 minutes with water and cutlery only while we waited for the rest of our party. We tried numerous times to get the attention of several staff members to no avail. While they made eye contact with us they never returned to our table to take our appetizer or drink orders. When service did finally begin it was pretty quick but not friendly. They added an 18% gratuity for a party of 5 which was pretty unexpected. I've eaten here before and had better service and better food but this trip was pretty awful and I'm not sure if I will return. If I do I will update my review. read more

I was very surprised and pleased with everything ordered at Dae Jang Keum! We were seated and served right away. Our drinks were brought out to us extremely quick and all the food was delicious. My favorite was probably the dumplings. They had a great crunch to them and also very tasty. But really everything was good! The atmosphere was chill and relaxed. Lots of families and groups of friends were also there. read more

My sisters and mom and I came for dinner the day before Thanksgiving. It wasn't packed. You can cook your own food here but we opted out of that. Your hair can smell after eating in here... We ordered a few things to share: beef bulgogi, squid, soft tofu soup, seafood pancake, and dumplings. Everything was good! The beef bulgogi had a nice sweetness to it. We were stuffed and had leftovers for the next day. Service was good! They kept our waters filled and made sure we had everything we needed. read more

Food: Was just ok. Japchae noodles were a bit soggy. Bbq combo packages are not substitutable even if you offer to pay extra. Meat was decent. Not a lot of side dishes (6 for 2 people). Service: Don't expect courteous or good service. No smiles or welcomes. Soda and side dishes were not offered to be refilled. There were about 4 other tables and I saw at least 2 waitresses working. For two of us, we tried to order a variety of foods both BBQ and cooked but the waitress seemed to judge us and said "that's too much for 2 people" which I'm not sure is a cultural thing but we planned to take leftovers home. Venue: Spacious. They practiced good social distancing, seating us far apart. It didn't smell too strongly of bbq smoke since they had good ventilation. The floor was SO STICKY. You can hear your shoes stick every time you walked. When I pulled my chair closer to table there was something sticky under the chair. read more

Great service and super clean. I ordered the ice cold soup. It is served with ice in in. Very good broth and we had a nice selection of appetizers before the soup. Me and my father went and we checked out the little shop attached to the restaurant and got some Korean baked goods. You can BBQ at ur table. Very fun and unique menu. Look forward to going again. read more

Was a regular and recognized by the management until yesterday. We came in for lunch and when the bill came the manager let us know that she added the tip our bill and no need to tip since we come there often. After we paid, the waitress had the audacity to cause a scene in the restaurant and scream, "No tip! NO Tip!". After looking at the bill, the manager failed to include a service charge/tip on the bill thinking it was mistake. The manager had to chase us before leaving and apologize for over tipping due to the dumb waitress scene and promised we wouldn't be double charged and corrected the issue. Overall the damage had been done and I will no longer be returning there. Obviously I felt embarrassed by that waitress for causing that scene believing I failed to tip them for their work. Avoid this place at all cost! read more

Visited this spot with my family, we got the seafood stew, military stew, and some meat a la carte. The service was great, our server came and cooked our meat for us at the perfect time. The ban chans were good! Wish I had a pic of the steamed egg but that thing was huge and sooooo fluffy. Soups: Military stew - 2/5 tasted like a kimchi stew. Too much kimchi flavor and was super sour for my liking. Seafood stew - 5/5 very good flavor and doesn't have too much of a seafood smell. Meats: Marinated short ribs - 5/5 perfect marinate prime rib - 6/5 soooo marbled pork belly - 4/5 thick and juicy read more

We tried this Korean BBQ for the first time and my taste buds were so happy! We ordered the Course for Two with beef, chicken and shrimp. The staff were super helpful in preparing the meat and cooking it properly at the table. What fantastic flavor, especially the beef with a tasty marinade! Plentiful sides accompanied the main course, along with purple rice. Our drinks were refilled quickly and the staff checked on us frequently. This was a fun meal! read more

Disgusted. A genuine humiliation for Korean community in Michigan. 1. Unhygienic: flies everywhere. Sticky tabletop. Tables not getting cleaned for the longest time. 2. Rude service: male server rolled his eyes and murmured behind his mask when asked to bring some more sauce. What could a server possibly murmur in front of a customer? When he was asked what that was about, he completely ignored and walked away. Called him three times when he walked by and still got ignored And we were still charged with an automatic 18% gratuity. What a joke. read more

I've been California KBBQ spoiled and this place is too bland for my taste buds. Its not unlimited so look at the menu carefully to accommodate your party size. Me and my bf got the lowest price selection and it was plenty for 2. This place does not serve kimichi, a staple in every kbbq place!! Disappointed. They serve this purple rice which taste like brown rice...not a fan. Sides include: purple marinated onion, fish cake slices, egg plant, salad, mash potatoe with apple chunks inside, egg in clay pot. We ordered japchae and it was greasy and BLAND, mushrooms were overcooked and rubbery. We had good service, our server cooked our meats for us. I don't know if that is the norm or the fact that there was only two parties in the restaurant so they just wanted something to do? The meats were disappointing, bulgogi was bland too. Only ONE dipping sauce? I asked for chilli sauce, they brought me a bottle of siracha... This is probably the lowest quality of KBBQ food experience. Not worth my wallet. Rather go to the supermarket next door and cook my own! read more

Akways a fave with friends or the fam. The BBQ for 2 is enough for 4 easily. Banchan apps are great . Support your local restaurants ! Eat!! Now I just looked at some of the poor reviews. They always harp on the service, etc. I've always found the service great. The staff friendly! The food super fresh! Complaining about not having your water refilled quick enough is a bit Karen to me. How about ... Buy a beverage. Also there are some tip complaints about the staff seemingly all from dissatisfied millennials which is a bit redundant . If they said something you probably short changed them. Ask your dad how much he tips when he springs for your dinner. I notice the reviewer mentioned what the server asked for, not what the diner left.....hmm. You probably should try Panda Express in the future and spare us your whining. read more

I'm in Downriver and so whenever I type KBBQ on my handy dandy yelp app and this is the closest that comes up. So a family gathering came up and they said we were coming here for dindin. I was excited AF. There was 7 of us and we ordered the 2 set for 3 combos. Banchan: was really good, but then you can't really go wrong with pickles and such. Steamed Egg: That was actually really good. Make sure to use caution when consuming this dish as it is super hot KBBQ: This portion of the meal is the main event. The meats were definitely super good. Prime rib was superb, beef brisket is superb, pork belly is out of sight and the spicy bbq pork is the perfect ending. Remember, proper way to eat kbbq is to turn it into lettuce wraps. Put a little gochujang on it and I'm in kbbq heaven. T he service is pretty good. They kept checking up on us and made sure everything was good to go. I would definitely come back because of my pleasant experience. And for that, 5 stars. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!! read more

We went to Dae Jang Keum yesterday for some Korean BBQ. We got the "Jang" meat tray of beef brisket, beef kalbi, pork belly, and spicy pork shoulder. It was eventually brought out by a cute robot with cat ears. There's little more that I can say positive, though. The service and amenities left a lot to be desired. The first red flag was when I asked for ice water with lemon and was told that there was no ice. My daughter ordered a lemonade. There was ice in it. So, at a restaurant where we're spending WELL over $100 for 3 people, they won't pay for ice since the drink was free. Additionally, the lemonade was bland and watered down even after my daughter shared some of her ice with me. Later, she asked for more napkins for the table, and we were gicen 2 napkins for 3 people. It's insulting and cheap. My wife ordered a seafood soup. It was light on seafood and flavor. The waitress also didn't bring the included rice out with her, apparently seeing that we all had rice, but it's included in the price of the soup. The banchan was also pretty bad. The salad had wilted spots and some of it tasted underwashed. The kimchi was bland. The fishcake had no flavor and even lacked texture. The only thing that tasted good was some pickled cauliflower mix. We didn't ask for refills, but we also didn't get offered any. When we got the check, I nearly double-tipped because the gratuity was added for having a barbecue table. I normally tip more than the 18%, but not being told about it either beforehand or afterhand left a bad taste in my mouth. I crossed out the second tip and left it at 18%. I was not happy, and I'm normally pretty easy to please. Overall, I would say that this restaurant gets by with a primo location next to H-Mart. Otherwise, avoid it. It's just not that good and shockingly bland. The korean bbq was good, though. Credit where it's due, but it's pretty hard to mess up freshly-cooked meat. read more

Hubby and I ordered the BBQ meal for 2, and it was more than enough food. Bossy ladies cook your food for you if you're new to this, as we were. All the side had something fermented about it, so if you can't do fermented foods, just eat the meat rolled up in the lettuce wraps. The beef and shrimp were by far the best tasting, followed by the pork, and the chicken was eh. It looks as if they have a full bar, so I asked for a gin soda and lime. They don't have fruit she said. WTH? So we split a Korean Beer (which was a German Pilsner???) and a bottle of Soju (like rice wine but sweeter). We wok'ed out of that place smelling like food which I don't like, especially since I was dressed cute, and had my good fall jacket on which I can't get the smell out of. Will definitely try this place again for their Hot Pots' which looked warm and inviting. read more
