We went to this place for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. On that day, JaJang Noodle and the BBQ Beef rib combo with Seafood Tofu soup. The BBQ rib was ok in taste. The meat were little tough and dry. The Tofu Soup taste great with mild spiciness and well-portion of ingredients. The JaJang Noodle tasted great. We both love the noodle with sweet black bean sauce. Services were good. The staff were busy but they did take care of the customer in a good way. We would be back ! read more

Dai Jang Kum - Korean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Great Korean restaurant in Richmond! Took my family out for lunch and we don't have to drive all the way to Coquitlam for good Korean restaurants! The lunch sets are good portions and my girls are happy with the taste! Service is just like the average restaurant. They got normal tables as well BBQ tables, also 3 private dining rooms plus a huge private dinner room can fit about 60 people (but with glass people can looking at) Will come again to try out the BBQ dinner! read more

I come by myself sometimes to this place. Wonderful cold noodle! They gave you plenty of side dishes read more

Skip this place! Food quality is bad and portions are stingy. Yes, times are tough but when a restaurant cuts back so miserably and serves stale side dishes, no lettuce wraps, and stingy poor cuts of meat and charges $96 for barbecue Combo A and $13.50 (x 2 = $27) per kimbap and the bill comes out to $137 before the tip, then they better provide something more than $20 worth of ingredients! The side dishes were the first red flag that it was going to be a disappointing barbecue. Stingy, stale and soggy vegetables that were obviously made the day before. The waitress only refilled our side sides once when we ordered another kimbap and two bowls of rice. The meat was equally disappointing and stingy. The service bad. Will never go back to this place. They cut corners so much. It was a terrible experience. I would rather drive out 45 minutes to korean barbecue in the restaurants in Coquitlam than eat at Dai Jang Kum because it's nearby in Richmond. Any one giving this place a 4-star or 5-star review is either a friend of the owner or is lying to you! Waste of time and money to eat here. Stay away from this place. read more

It wasn't bad.... but it wasn't great. The food was pretty solid but ask lots of questions if you're not familiar. They forgot one person's meal and that was a little frustrating and they didn't come check on us at all. Their kimchi was pretty on point though! Also great selection of beers and soju read more

Easy parking right outside the place. Fair prices and good quality food. Sure the man at the cashier may not give you the friendliest greeting, and the setting is rather utilitarian but the BBQ marinated meat quality is there. Our go to Korean BBQ place. read more

Our 1st time here, love it already! We ordered their Combo Special 'Kum' for 4. There were still plenty of food left considered we were a table of 4 adults plus 1 10yrs old. I have to admit we ordered japchae as well. Trust me, even if we didn't order japchae, you would still have left over. Oh, we didn't do the grill ourselves. It was nice that they gave us an option of self grill or kitchen grill. We chose kitchen grill this time coz everyone was pretty tired. We love their food. The service was good too. For sure there was no complain on any. Will definitely return when we are back in town! read more

A decent place to get tasty Korean BBQ beef, pork and chicken. Lots of side dishes including potatoes, kimchi, salad, bean sprouts etc. The service is very good indeed. Each table has their own buzzer or bell to contact your server. The place is generally packed especially on Fridays and the weekend. Be prepared to pay a lot because it is definitely not cheap. You will not be disappointed. read more

a true gem hiding in plain sight!! stumbled upon this place while shopping at the brick! did a quick research and decided, "next time...im ging there!" so, had a lunch date with a buddy and i suggested we try this korean bbq place. from the covid protocols, to the lunch specials, to the service and food...everything considered, a real 5 star experience. we went with the meat bbq combo special for 2...and tried the steamed dumplings too. the combo was really good value for $. so much food and most importantly....the variety is unheard off. you can kalbi, beef, chicken, pork, and some mushrooms, with miso soup and the classic ban chan! so much food for such a reasonable place compared to all other korea bbq places in richmond. service was great...the server started to help us cook our meats too..i suggested that we could handle it so she is not that tired. the marinade for the bbq meats were awesome too. just the right touch of sweetness. amazing! the steamed dumplings tasted so fresh. packed full of meat and flavour..served with a tangy dipping sauce that complimented it so well. all ready making plans to go back! i had an amazing time. washrooms were well kept and tables distanced properly. tons of parking in the street mall. total value for $! cheers! happy eating! read more

Good value but service is really lacking. I wouldn't return based on the service. I have to get this out of the way right off the bat - DO NOT GRAB THINGS OUT OF YOUR CUSTOMER'S HAND. So freaking rude. I couldn't believe it. The waiter didn't think I was cooking our BBQ beef good enough to his liking, and without saying a word, he just grabbed the tongs right out of my hand! WOW! I told him to take a hike and bring me new, clean tongs. He never did. I finished cooking the beef with chopsticks. The sides were really good, and the kimchi especially was tasty, as well as the apples. The soda is served in cans, and I had to ask for a glass of ice. If I'm in a sit down restaurant, I am not going to drink out of a freaking can. The guy with me was a Korean virgin and he couldn't deal with chopsticks either. The same waiter gave us attitude about asking for a fork for him. He is white, we get it - don't be a jerk. At least he was trying something new. The ambiance is really lacking. Very bland and not welcoming. Food: 4 Service: 1 Ambiance: 2 Parking: 4 read more

We were staying nearby and came for dinner. Got an efficient and friendly welcome, and the bibimbap was tasty! The dinner bowl also came with flavorful miso soup, five banchan, and barley tea. Everything was very satisfying, but almost everyone else ordered the do-it-yourself Korean barbecue which looked amazing. Would definitely recommend this place to friends. read more

We're close to finding my favourite Korean restaurant in Richmond! We ordered take out on a cold, rainy day - this was before dine-in was allowed. I am not sure what we were thinking but my bf ordered a COLD noodle on a super cold, rainy afternoon and I ordered a hot tofu seafood soup. A hot soup is a great idea you might think, but NOT when you are trying to balance a steaming hot soup on your thigh with rice on your left and banchan dishes laid out across the car dashboard. We were so hungry that we decided to eat in the car - it was a disaster waiting to happen. *spoiler alert* we didn't spill a single thing, but did get an awkward look from the waitress when she found us parked outside after picking up our order 1 hour later. The cold noodles were quite tasty. My bf commented that the noodles were very chewy and the sauce had a good kick of heat, but also a subtle sweetness. The sesame flavour joined the party, but wasn't overpowering. My tofu seafood soup was delicious. Though it smelled a tad fishy (not in a bad way), it was packed with ingredients though it had the two smallest shrimps I have seen. Portion was generous and flavour was on point. Note we both did get a tad thirsty after the meal; I'm not sure if there is any MSG. The banchan earned a shoutout as well! The potatoes were soooo flavourful though a tad salty, but was pleasant when eaten with rice. I've been having a hard time finding Korean restaurants with the perfect kimchi; some too sour, others too spicy or not flavourful enough. I really enjoyed their kimchi. We've dined here before the pandemic, but thought this meal was one of the best ones delivered from this restaurant to date. We were very satisfied with this meal even with a car full of seafood soup condensation and lingering smell of kimchi. read more

We're craving for Korean food for lunch after we shopped at Costco. Yelp is the best, it help us to get it! We found Dai Jang Kum Korean which the closer Korean restaurant. The dining room and decor was bit outdated and TV was a bit loud. The extensive menu offers many dishes and lunch combo. The service was so slow coz only 1 waiter on the floor. We ordered 3 lunch combos to share, BBQ Beef short ribs were average and a bit chewy, it came only 3-4 slices. Tofu soup was ok. Kimchi seafood noodles soup so salty. Bibimbap was good but not outstanding. I would say they're really going downwards. read more

I'm giving 4 starts solely for their black bean noodles. I don't know what it is but I'm addicted to their black bean noodles. I've had black bean noodles from multiple Korean restaurants in lower mainland include the ones in Coquitlam but nothing beats the one they have here. I just like it so much and I crave it often. Everything is perfect: the thickness of the noodles, meat chunks, richness of the sauce, etc. If you like Korean black bean noodles, it's worth giving it a try for $9! I've tried other items from their menu but nothing else is really spectacular here. I personally really like the potato side dish at Korean restaurants, but the one they have here is super dry as you can see in the picture. I wish they were more saucy and flavorful. All the soup and noodle dishes are reasonably priced. It can get expensive if you order BBQ. read more

Looking to find a place that is open for Korean BBQ in richmond that is big enough so you're not stuck with people sitting in your personal space of comfort and with staff that understand the complexities of serving food during this pandemic ? Dai Jang Kum is open. A family run business where you get lots of the side dishes. We ordered the bulgogi and pork belly for bbq and the Korean pancake for dinner. It was nice and quiet and the booths were private enough and customers seated far enough from each other that you didn't feel infringed upon. Food is average for Korean bbq and the server changed the bbq grill for us without needing to wait and ask. Or ask and wait. Paid cash which was nice cause despite the fact that most places require machine debit or credit only not everyone has it. read more

Dai Jang Kum - I come for pork belly - Korean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I don't know why this place doesn't get better reviews. Their seafood pancake is probably one of their best dishes; lots of seafood in there and its cooked so well that the edges are always nice and crispy. Plus, it's a nice thick pancake, not like those thin flimsy thin crust ones that you get at other Korean places.... Their bulgogi hot pot is good and has a good flavour profile, as well as a lot of vegetables and a good amount of meat. Their BBQ is delicious as well (there's always the option of having the kitchen cook the meat for you). Side dishes, like all good Korean places, are free and provide a wide variety of flavours. Their seafood hot pot is also a good pick. The place is a tad bit on the pricey side but for all the meat and stuffings they give you, I think it's well worth it. We come here every time we want Korean bbq and have never been disappointed! read more

Pretty expensive for the amount of food you get and quite empty most of the day. The portions are also a bit small in terms of the amount you get in their set menus. We came as a huge group and it was very quiet but still, service hardly popped by. Food was not bad though although there is definitely much more flavourful and better elsewhere. read more

A good surprise for a Korean restaurant in Richmond. Plenty of parking in the lot, A cozy decor with lots of tables, we came here on a Friday night to find it quite busy. There's lots of selection on their menu, with BBQ sets as well as ordering a la carte. Between the 6 of us, we got a bimbibap and a albap (cod roe stone bowl rice), japchae,and deep fried gyozas, For the BBQ, we got a dish of the pork belly and 2 plates of the beef short ribs. Of course, this also came with their side dishes. The gyozas were absolutely delicious. Eight large pieces of dumpling, lightly deep fried, encompassing a mix of pork, shrimp and cabbage. The beef shortribs came in a plate of 4 pieces, which was a small portion considering it was $15.95. They were good ribs though, none of the chewy meats that can be served at other places. Refilling the side dishes were no problem, and the servers always made sure that we were ok. Overall, food was good, service was decent, and the space is clean and spacious. Free entertainment also provided via K-pop music videos playing on their TVs! read more

We've been coming here on occasion for many years. Good food that is served up fast and can accommodate large groups. We always order the seafood pancake, smoked salmon salad, and fried dumplings. These items are on the expensive side, but they're share sized so can feed several people. The lunch boxes are also very good. As with most Korean restaurants, they serve several small appetizer dishes which is always such a bonus. They give out coupons proportional to your bill that can be applied to your next meal here. Ask for it if they don't automatically give you one with your receipt. For a family of six, we paid $76 before taxes for lunch. It's pretty steep for lunch so will only come here on occasion. read more

Dai Jang Kum - Seafood Pancake - Korean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I have been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years. I really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is friendly, portions are fair, and the food is delicious. This restaurant is a great value, which is why I am giving it 5 stars. Many korean restaurants I go to seem to focus on decorations, not this one. In fact, this restaurant could use an update, but it's clean and cozy so I don't mind. Instead this restaurant focuses on delivering delicious food, quickly, and with a friendly smile. read more

This place has a large menu selection to choose from. Yummy Korean barbecue that you can grill at your table or have them do it for you. I love the tons of side dishes they offer, some of them were new to me (sweet onion, tofu). My favourite were the gyoza and the beef bulgogi. The service is fast, there is lots of parking, and it is on the pheripheral edges of Richmond so its not too crowded. read more

Came here straight after Ikea. We're seated in their 'Bamboo Room', which even though it's a private room, can realistically accommodate three people only. There wasn't much ventilation in there, so we didn't order BBQ items. Instead, we opted for a bibimbap, beef ribs in soup, and their seafood pancake. Other than the beef ribs being a bit chewy, everything was alright. Side dishes were plentiful and service was acceptable. Come to think of it, this is the only restaurant on Bridgeport we actually dine in once in a while. read more

Some of the better Korean food I've had in Richmond. Their Jjamppong (seafood noodle soup) is my favourite. It's better than any other Jjjamppong I've had around here. Their prices are also quite reasonable and do not fluctuate between lunch and dinner. They do have a specific lunch set page though, with lunch exclusive options. Great food, good service. It's not very well known and it doesn't have that many customers. Very recommended. read more

Honey found this place recently while working a job in Richmond and we've been here a few times now. Most recently we went with the monsters - aka my adult children My son, bless his stomach, isn't very adventurous and not much for spicy foods but loves Korean BBQ. I guess it's the meat-a-tarian in him. Daughter, bless her heart, is vegetarian - but has just returned from a trip to Korea and even though it has only been 3 days since her return she was craving some of her favourites We'd have to give it 8 thumbs up for atmosphere (K-pop music, lots of Korean customers, great service) and the food was delicious as usual. We always end up ordering a bit too much, as much as we try not to. The server was helpful and didn't pressure us to get a larger meat platter as is the case at other places we've been. He cautioned that daughter's choices were both spicy but when we replied that she'd just returned from the country, he was all smiles. We rolled out of there all very happy with ourselves. We will be sure to return as we love the format as well as the food and service. Highly recommended. read more

Dai Jang Kum - bbq platter and side dishes. - Korean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I was surprised at this joint. It was close to our hotel and we were really hungry to go too far out into Richmond. So we went here. It was disappointing that the kitchen couldn't do the cooking for us (most Korean BBQ places offer this to avoid smelling like the restaurant). But the food was good, portions were okay. A good choice of side dishes. Friendly staff and clean toilets. I can't stress enough, I was surprised by the experience. Would go again in a pinch. read more

Food is alright, nothing to complain about. Servers are Korean so I assume the food is authentic Korean food. I don't like the ventilation, I smell horrible everytime I go. The combos are pretty good deal (for 4/6/8 people). Lunch menu is better than dinner, well priced, and quite yummy. read more

Eating is guaranteed happiness When one eats and is dissapointined, it is a horrible experience. I came craving for Korean food and ordered a two person bbq set for around $40. What I got was a sloppy mishmash of meats on a hot plate. We complained, the waiter apologized by saying the chef is new. This is bbq, not biochem. read more

They had some delicious Korean barbecue here. You can grill it at your own table or they'll grill it for you. The short rib, the ghal bi, was maybe the best I've ever had. I also liked the chicken. A few of the side dishes, I think it's called na mul, were different as well, including a sweet onion dish that I'd never had in other Korean restaurants. The Korean menu is fairly large and based on my first meal there I"d like to go back and explore other dishes if I lived in the area. It's in a strip mall not far off Highway 99. read more

I'm going to be completely honest with you here: I detest asian food. I won't touch sushi, won't eat any sort of Chinese, Vietnamese or Japanese food of any type. I'm a meat and potatoes kind of girl. So when I tell you how much I love this place, you have to understand how much it shocks the people I'm with. My boyfriend and I come here every six months or so (we're foodies so we like to eat out at different places every month), and get the same thing everytime: The meat platter (or a facsimile thereof). The portions are HUGE, the sides are non-stop and I'll eat over half of them (again, saying a lot), and the staff, albeit not the most attentive, I have no complaints with. I took my parents here when they were up to visit, and they had so much fun too! My mom attempted to eat with chop sticks, but to no avail. This is the family I came from. All in all a good experience, and I keep coming back for more. read more

My sister went to here for lunch today, she was seated quickly and given a menu but that's where the service ended.

Food was good as good as most restaurants. Not the greatest I've had but I enjoyed it. My issue was with the service. Not very attentive. I didn't tip but i'm not an easy tipper. I expect above average service for a tip. Therefore, I just paid my bill without a tip. They had the gull to ask me specifically for a tip. Message to the manager: If you want tips, smile and don't ignore my hand up as you walk by. read more
