    cruddy rice

    Wow I've never seen anything as bad as the food here. Serious disbelief. I ordered Daenjangjjigae to gauge measure of the kitchen. It should be rich and thick with dark daenjang chock full of beans that melt into soup. Making it stew. Big chunks of zucchini, onions, whatever stew stuff, tofu, and pork. Pork is traditional, and the pork flavor is very distinct. This is down-home comfort stew, everyday stew, a staple. So it should be a MEAL. What I got was Daenjang-water. It was so thin it was barely broth. But it was hot and it was a cold day, so I just thought of it as eating Gukbap (rice in soup). There were a few little pieces of firm tofu and half a handful of thinly sliced onions and zuchinni. I had to order an extra Bap bc the serving was too small, and then ...omg....they brought a bowl of rice that had been sitting out so long, it was hard around the edge. Like a centimeter's width around the bowl was HARD. Like too hard for my teeth hard. They served me that. I can't believe this place gets any good revoews, if this Daenjjigae is any measure of the kitchen. Serious disbelief.

    First time ordering lunch to go here, because I was in a rush. Lunch menu stop at 3 so front desk put in an order for me before kitchen take a break. Beef japchae, I figure it is a safe choice to pick for to go order. It just noodles. I got quite good amount of food. A small box for sides( kimchee and broccoli) then the main bowl I have japchae on top of a bed of white rice. Good flavor. Very fulfilling. $15 is pretty good deal.

    I'm going to start with the bad... we are only 3 people, black snd gratuity of 20% was already added to the check. Given the lackluster service, I never anticipated giving them any more than 15%. On the menu, in 8 pt text it states, all parties MAY BE subject to a 20% gratuity. So.. this restaurant chooses to whom they think will not tip. I'd like to make it crystal clear that unless a party of 6 or more where maybe more work at a table is required, a tip is voluntary & complementary. A guest is only entitled and legally responsible for their bill. We were seated quickly and handed menus. The wait for service was about 20mins. We ordered and the food came out quickly. Sadly, not given utensils. Not greeted. No run over. Imagine fast food on speed with our initial hi, what can I get you. Luckily, I know how the restaurant works so I explained to the table. The dining room had about 5 occupied tables & 3 servers. We weren't checked on voluntarily ever but we did use the call button for obvious needs... rice, utensils, more sauce.. etc. Things started moving fast for other tables once the women came on the clock although they weren't assigned to our table. We asked for sugar for the tea and they not the cafe had sugar. Nor bottled water for purchase. We left with our bellies full and that's all that matters. I'm traveling through so I won't be returning and even if I lived here, nope... I wouldn't come back. The automatic add of gratuity, although I did ask for them to remove it & they did, rubbed me the wrong way. Nopeity, nope nope.

    Banchan

    My friends and I were able to secure a table for 6 this past Monday for dinner. We only had to wait about 30 minutes via walk-in, but I would highly recommend making reservations in advance if you know you'll be dining here. We initially came here with the intention to drink, but we ended up eating instead. They gave us two sets of banchan and there was plenty of options like pickled radish, kimchi, macaroni salad, and spring mix. However, the banchan was not worth writing home about and was at best just OK. Between five people, we shared a couple KBBQ platters (each order came with a steamed egg and soybean paste soup -- I didn't try the soup but the steamed egg was alright and not very fluffy): A3. BEEF COMBO (FOR 2) - 69 * Thinly sliced brisket - Obviously, we started with the thinnest cut first. This was a pretty good start, the meat had a good balance of meat and fat, and overall the texture and flavor was good. * Short ribs - Tender and delicious, went well with the sesame oil with salt (this could use more salt in it). I only had a bite of it since each order comes with four small strips and there were five of us. * Prime ribeye steak - Pretty disappointing because it wasn't very flavorful and the cut was pretty tough. * Marinated short rib slices - This was probably most people's favorite cut that we tried. The marinade was lightly sweet and the meat was tender. A6. SIGNATURE COMBO (FOR 2) - 69 * Prime ribeye steak - Similar thoughts from above. * Pork belly - I didn't try this because I'm not a huge pork belly fan, but my friends seemed to all enjoy it. * Pork shoulder steak - Meat quality was OK and it was on the tougher side than it was tender. In general, I don't really like pork for KBBQ, so i might be biased. * Marinated short rib slices - Again, similar thoughts from above. Quite delicious. The food overall was OK -- some cuts of meat were much better than others, but some fell short in terms of quality and flavor. The interior is nice and modern, but keep in mind you'll be doing all the cooking here (at least, we weren't given an option for someone to help us cook).

    My daughter and I had a fun and fulfilling experience at Daebak Korean Barbeque. We decided to have indulgent Mommy & Me feast. She a carnivore and love barbeques of all nationalities. She also loves to cook, therefore loved the idea of cooking at the table ourselves. We ordered a scallion pancake, which is huge and too much for two people. She chose the Signature Combo for 2. The ribeye and pork belly were the standouts for me. The raw platters come with various sides such as salad, rice, steamed egg, soup and spinach. The menu prices vary and offer a huge assortment to please the modest spender to those who want to ball out. We always find ourselves in the middle but leaning towards ball-out status. Service was efficient and friendly. There a a few different seating choices, most of them in a community-style format. The restaurant is located on the back end of a little Korean food hall, near the old Toys R Us on Northwestern and Telegragh.

    Great food! We went here to get some apps to share and they did not disappoint! I can't believe we have never heard of this place! The food comes quick and the vibes are good! We will definitely come back

    Kelli found this Korean barbecue restaurant outside Detroit, when visiting U-M and Ann Arbor with our daughter. Generous portions of meat! Responsive, friendly service (who noticed our grill needed to be changed without us asking). Tasty sides (corn cheese, egg soufflé, deep fried rice cakes)! Could barely walk out, we were so stuffed. Next door is a Korean cafe, down the hall is a K-Pop store and across the road a snack-and-joy-filled Korean market,. Can't miss!

    I recently visited Daebak after recommended by a Korean friend, for my son's 15th birthday, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! We got to try so many dishes that had been on my list, like japchae and kimchi pajeon, and they did not disappoint. The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced. The kimchi and side dishes were especially amazing, offering a true taste of Korean cuisine. The ambiance of the restaurant made the whole meal even more enjoyable, and the staff were attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Daebak to anyone looking for a genuine and delicious Korean dining experience. We'll definitely be back for more! P.s. I am a vegetarian compared to my carnivore family and still had plenty of yummy options

    Could've been better (Yelp's 2/5 description) is on point. Food: got the marinated steak combo ($60). While known for 'high quality' meat, meat was not that. multiple pieces of steak not chewable. Tough (despite being cooked to less than well done quality). Also got the Kimchi Jiggae - odd flavor. I've never had something so sweet yet sour/spicy at the same time. Not pleasant. I also go the Sundubu Jjigae which was really nothing special and did not surpass other Korean restaurants like Chung Ki Wa/Soora. This place's specialty was KBBQ, and it was VERY sub-par. Service: Terrible. The bell to alert the server did not make the server come over. We were told we could only dine for one hour because of a reservation one hour later. At the one hour mark, there were plenty of tables, and this left a distaste for the restaurant when they said that. Could not get the hot plate changed for the longest time. Ambiance: very busy on Sunday brunch time. It seemed they were understaffed and overworked. This showed in their get in - get out - no attentiveness attitude.

    I enjoyed my experience at deabak we seen their restaurant on a local influencer page decided to check it out and boy was it good few meats recommended from the servers and some very good sides come with every meal and me an my girlfriend had a wonderful time at this location very friendly. We will be back.

    She got mad when we asking for replacement grill place. She slamp the replacement grill place and leave. We asking for refill Kim Chị or else she got mad ! No way I would come back . There are plenty Korean restaurants that great with customers

    This was my first time at a Korean bbq so it was a learning curve involved. My sister and I split the signature combo and also the corn cheese as an appetizer and an extra steamed egg. We had plenty of food to split and a lot of meat, definitely had to take a plate home. Food was very tasty and you have plenty of sauces and topping to build several flavor profiles. Service was okay, they were pretty busy so they had to squeeze us into the back next to a bigger party and the music kept cutting in and out and they had to come fix it numerous times. We didn't know that you get a buzzer to get your server to come nor did he tell us so we were stuck flagging down random servers for assistance. I will say that we didn't receive everything we needed in the end. They also added gratuity but I wasn't tripping since I had a good experience with the hiccups. This isn't the closest to me so I'm not sure if I will return soon but I will be looking at Korean bbq in my area.

Arkin's is a small carry-out only place that sells sandwiches, dinners, and meat by the pound. The sides are à la carte; except for the dinners. Before we even get to the food, let's talk about the staff. They are some of the sweetest and friendliest people you could ever meet! Even with the place being busy, they didn't rush us to order or to get out of the door. They chatted with us and made us feel welcome - as if we'd been going there for years! And every time we return it's like talking to old friends. It's so very refreshing in the current social climate! Now the food: 'Delicious' is too weak a word to describe it! I got the chicken sandwich, which came with slaw and jalapeño pickles. The sliced chicken breast was broasted and had a nice crispy skin. The seasoning was so good I didn't even want to put sauce on it! The slaw was awesome and I didn't detect mayo, so I was able to enjoy it. I added a side of greens, which were delicious. Not everyone can make greens.... My husband got a brisket sandwich - also with slaw and jalapeño pickles included. He got a side of potato wedges, which were broasted and seasoned to perfection. I almost regretted my greens choice .. almost.... The piece of brisket my husband let me taste was awesome - and I hate brisket; but not Arkin's! We filled our bellies that day and went back the next day to buy a dinner for my dad plus some meat by the pound for us to enjoy over the snowy weekend. Funny, they didn't seem surprised to see us back so soon! LOL. My dad enjoyed his meal too, and we gave him directions to the restaurant. Our other return visits have been equally as pleasant. The quality of the staff and food never disappoint! Very happy to have our expectations exceeded in this case. Great food, great staf

We had to stop him again when he tried to run off and ask to place our dessert order (he didn't bother asking if we needed it wanted anything else). This was a bit surprising as we are watching the other members of the waitstaff kill it. While the food was good, this server really just ruined the experience for us.
