I've actually only eaten here 1 time. But not because it's not great... because it is... but because their DIY combo is such a great value and makes way more sense for this mom and kid duo than AYCE. So we usually order 2 DIY combos and it ends up being about $100 for enough meat and ban chans to cover us for 3 days! Korean BBQ for 3 days for only $100?? Yes please! read more

Daikon is a refreshing, quaint and spacious Korean bbq spot we discovered while hanging out in Sacramento for errands and hungover. It had a large variety of menu items and the banchan was on point---but the service robot kitty was the most amusing part about it. What really sold our experience there was our waitress, Celeste (? I'm sorry, I forgot her name!) While she said that she was fairly new to the team, she was very accommodating, kind, and attentive to detail and service. Their lunch special is also a steal! So, if you're in town, check this place out! (PS: to Celeste, I hope you enjoyed your cheesecake! ) read more

Service is good, food was good, price was fair, interesting how they use a robot to bring the plates. Tough to get in, even at lunch, which is a good sign. Nature of the place to have slow table turnover. Apps were great so glad we didn't skip those. Bulgogi and pork belly were fabulous. Shrimp were disappointing but that's not so much on them, just not the best way to cook well and peel when hot. Sesame balls were a nice dessert. Then don't need to eat for a week... read more

Best Korean BBQ in Sacramento. The food was fresh and in abundance. The service was amazing, especially the little robot that brings your orders. The ambiance is family friendly and perfect for large or I intimate gatherings. We ordered everything on the menu. Loved the salt & pepper chicken wings, brisket, calamari, and bulgogiCome hungry. read more

Excellent! This was my first experience having AYCE Korean BBQ. It was great. We went there for a late lunch. It wasn't crowded at that particular time. We were greeted and escorted to our table within minutes. Our waitress was so nice and personable. She explained how the ordering worked. The service robot delivered the items we selected to grill. The friendly waitress brought our condiments and side orders and always checked on us. We ordered prawns, scallops, a variety of beef cuts and the most crispy and delicious chicken wings. The chicken wings are a must have with your meal. All the food was fresh and delicious! The place is cozy and very welcoming. Definitely a place to visit for any occasion. We will definitely return. read more

Visited on 1/17/26, I've been here multiple times for three years and the food here is always pretty solid! We arrived around 4pm and got seated shortly, it did get busy so service was a little slow at times which I can understand, our server was friendly and also apologetic about it. For sides, I enjoyed the the corn cheese and egg soufflé! (wish I took a pic before I destroyed it T_T) The egg soufflé is fluffy and soft, reminds me of Chinese Steamed Eggs with a texture of a cloud. Always a personal favorite of mine here. In terms of proteins, I really enjoyed the Beef Belly and Boneless Short Ribs here; the quality of the meat is great, although I would say the portions were questionable at times. When we ordered another portion of beef belly, they gave us only three slices. It was honestly funny so it was ok. We also ordered some rice papers and lettuce wraps for our sides, which made for delicious wraps with the meats and sides such as the kimchi and radish slices. All of this made for a very fulfilling meal! The restaurant quickly filled up with people and it's a nice place for a night out with friends or family. *_* read more

I am not sure how I missed this gem for so long! I happened upon it while running errands. We decided to pop in for dinner on a Saturday night the weekend before Christmas. When you arrive you enter your cell number in to the kiosk and take a seat in the waiting area to be called. The decor is modern, the staff were friendly as we checked in and it was busy! You can choose from Supreme Ayce or Premium. You pick up to 2 appetizers, pick up to 3 Proteins and pick up to 3 Sides. Then you pick your dipping sauces and start cooking! We had shrimp, scallops, prime rib, brisket, bulgogi and rib eye. We had calamari, garlic noodles and salt and pepper wings. Everything was fresh, & very flavorful. It is a pretty cool experience to cook and enjoy the meal at your own pace as well as having all the options to select from. We chose the Supreme and were not disappointed. We did only about two rounds but you could do as much as you want within the 2 hour time frame. Everything we We had a couple old fashions and a Soju carafe of strawberry lemonade. Drinks were great! They have a robot delivery to the table for food which was pretty cool. Absolutely will be back! Found a new favorite spot! read more

Very solid KBBQ in Natomas! Love that we have this great option so close to home. I think everyone's been to korean bbq before so I'd say this place is pretty standard. The two main standouts were the fish and chips and the rib fingers! Holy cow, I was not expecting cornmeal dusted catfish! I LOVED IT. And the rib fingers were on the premium menu but so worth it! We ordered a couple round of those. Food: 4.8 Service: 4.5 Ambiance: 4 Marcels foodie score: 4.4 read more

Perfect for date nights or bring the whole family. read more

First time trying Daikon-went on a Saturday night and we got seated quickly. We got the 33.99/pp menu and the Galbi and boneless short ribs were our favorites! Good quality of meat-similar to Oz, but better than Ember and Bultta. Fast service with the robots delivering the orders. Would stop by again if we're in the area. read more

Let me start by saying, we LOVE this place! We'll definitely be coming back, and this just might become our go-to spot whenever we're in Sacramento! The restaurant itself is spacious, spotless, and stylish. We loved both our host and our server. Our host was full of energy and gave us amazing suggestions, while our server was super friendly and attentive the whole time. ow to the food, we chose the Supreme AYCE, and it was beyond our expectations! The variety of dishes was incredible. There are so many appetizers to pick from with no limits, and the meats were marinated perfectly. We enjoyed every single one. Some highlights for us were the rib fingers, marinated prime steak, and pork belly. Our server also suggested mixing ramen with the seafood stew, and it was absolutely delicious. All the seafood was fresh and flavorful, nothing disappointed us. And to top it off, the ice cream was the bomb! We tried the vanilla this time, but can't wait to try more flavors on our next visit. Definitely returning! read more

I haven't been to this location since it first opened, but I was in the area and decided to stop by for an early dinner on Friday around 4pm. The restaurant has high ceilings, plenty of space between booths and tables, and a bar off to the side. There was no wait, and I was actually greeted by a familiar face, with someone I used to work with. We were seated right away, and Aaron took care of us throughout the meal. The booths are roomy and clean, and I liked that the menus are set up in wooden stands so you can look through them easily. We went with the premium AYCE for $33.99 each. Aaron was really attentive, he made sure our meats were refilled quickly and checked in often. I always ask for salt, pepper, and lemon for dipping my meats, and I appreciated that they weren't stingy with the lemon. They gave me a full bowl of thick wedges, which was perfect. Food wise, the beef belly was delicious, the salt & pepper wings were super crispy and juicy with just the right seasoning, and the japchae was tasty with a good portion size. The banchan selection wasn't as varied or flavorful compared to other spots, and I wish they had vinegar as an option. On the plus side, their smoke ventilation works really well! you can pull it close to the grill, so you don't walk out smelling like BBQ. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're in the area and craving K-BBQ. read more

I've been to Daikon Korean BBQ twice now -- once with a friend and another time with a party of six -- and both experiences were overall great! Customer service here is consistently good. We booked a reservation both times and were seated quickly upon arrival, which I always appreciate. The restaurant itself has a nice, modern-classic vibe with plenty of tables, so it feels clean and welcoming. Like many KBBQ spots, you choose 3 meats and 3 appetizers per grill, and of course, you get to cook everything yourself. They have two different AYCE menu options, but I highly recommend the Premium option -- way more bang for your buck. The pork belly and scallops in particular are delicious, and I also really enjoyed the rib fingers. For sides, the corn cheese/elote is a must-try! The soups are just okay, but they give you plenty of beef options for meats to make up for it. They also have robot servers that bring out the meats, while human servers handle orders and check-ins. For the most part, service was attentive, though on my second visit I did have to ask for kimchi three separate times before it finally made it to the table. Not a dealbreaker, but something to note if you come when it's busy. On Mondays, Happy Hour runs all day, which is a nice perk for drinks. I had their frozen Mangonada (not on the Happy Hour menu) on my first visit and it was amazing, but the second time it didn't hit quite the same. Thankfully, the server was really kind and explained it was made a certain way from the slushy machine, and they let me switch to a sake bomb instead (I paid for the Happy Hour price for the sake bomb) -- honesty and flexibility like that goes a long way. Do keep in mind there's a 2-hour dining limit. They stop taking orders once your time is up, but they do give you a heads-up, and everyone gets one complimentary ice cream to finish off the meal. Overall, Daikon is a solid KBBQ spot with good variety, tasty marinades, and friendly service. Definitely worth checking out -- I would come back again, though probably not too often since I don't live nearby. read more

Another great place to dine or lunch date get away. The portions are so large. You better skip a few meals in the day before comming here. The customer service is so amazing. They checked on us so many times and wanted us to order more meals. We could only handle one round. I wish we could take some of the food home with us. Seems like such a waste to throw this away after we cooked it. Totally will come back during lunch read more

Daikon is a staple in this house! We've been coming here for years and it's been so consistent, delicious, and fresh. We usually pop in after a hard workout or after a long morning of kayaking (we earn that meal!). We come hungry and leave so satisfied. The overall Korean BBQ experience is amazing. Our servers have usually been attentive and quick. Also, they now have a robot server? It's so cool! It'll whoosh by, drop off your food, and keep on going. Highly recommend going for the Supreme AYCE. The appetizers and protein selections are superb. Those Korean hot wings? Bomb. Go for the garlic butter prawns (deveined but shell on) and those rib fingers! If you go for the Premium AYCE, the beef belly and LA galbi are also chef's kiss. If you're newer to the AYCE game, take your time and know that beef is more forgiving than chicken. Keep the banchan flowing and pace yourself! You're in for a treat! read more

Where do I start with this amazing establishment? After visiting 3 times in a short period of time, I can honestly say one of the best restaurants in Sacramento. From the bonchon, to the variety of meats, veggies, sides, I am blown away each time. The service was also impeccable. The amazing server made great recommendations and was very friendly and helpful. I loved how big the tables are they give a lot of space to enjoy the food and the industrial look of the place. Very aesthetically pleasing. I can't wait to come back! read more

Great options with two different meal options and plenty of cuts of meats. Because each station has a personal fan, you dont walk into the restaurant smelling all the smoke. They also do have the robot servers which helps the staff get orders out quickly. One thing I was slightly confused on was the spicy bulgolgi. We ordered it twice, but it wasnt spicy at all. I'm not sure if that was on purpose or the wrong cut, but wasnt detrimental to our visit. read more

Well, it's July, so that means at least one birthday each week!! So my son is turning 20 and he wanted some AYCE Korean BBQ. This is not our first time here. This is a fun and exciting culinary adventure where you can try a lot of new and tasty dishes. If you have never tried KBBQ I would highly recommend it. Fun for kids and adults too! Not really cheap, but it's worth the experience. DO IT!! read more

I came here last Friday at the request of my nine-year-old granddaughter. It was her birthday and she purposely chose this place. I will say when we arrived in I can see why. For a child to rave about a restaurant and give specific details you have to know this place was good. So the hostess had us check in and we were seated immediately our server came and I explained to him it was my first time, but my granddaughter has been here and he was super helpful. I thought it was cute how the robot brings out your items for your Korean barbecue meal choices. The portions were great. It was a lot of food for two people, but we ate it and I really like at the end how they knew it was my granddaughter's birthday and let her spin the wheel and she was happy with her ice cream treat that she won. I will definitely come back with more family members, and I definitely want to try their happy hour specials as well. read more

One of my all time favorite Korean bbq spots. Every time I've gone here, it's been a great experience. I came here on a Saturday around 5pm and it was about a 45 min wait time. We went to the bar area to grab a drink while we waited. Once we got sat down, we started to order immediately. We got the supreme AYCE. Started off with appetizers and got the seasoned fries, kimchi soup, lemon pepper wings and ramen. The kimchi soup was disappointing and the wings + ramen were the delicious. We ordered the crispy calamari, garlic noodles and seafood soup later on. The calamari and garlic noodles were solid but the seafood soup wasn't good. Super disappointing in both soup but I'm here for the bbq. For the meat, we got beef belly, top blade steak and LA galbi to start off. Also, got butter on the side. The meat was so delicious! The next round, we got rib fingers, prime steak and beef belly. You can tell the quality of the meat. It was so good! For the sauce, we got sesame oil/salt and gochujang. Our server was amazing! She was attentive and helpful throughout our whole time there. The vibe of the restaurant was nice and it was pretty packed. Overall, a great time here. Can't wait for the next time. Thank you so much Daikon! read more

Daikon is just a go-to Korean BBQ! We love going for their premium all you can eat lunch menu especially on certain days because it is discounted ;) Their meat taste fresh and always come out nicely cut! I'm guilty of going to KBBQ and eating too much appetizer so when you go try their lemon pepper fried chicken, seasoned fries, and ramen to warm-up your tummy while you cook your meats! Don't forget to eat your veggies and get the lettuce wrap to dip with the soybean paste! The servers are always super nice and proactive. Daikon is perfect for date night or family celebrations! read more

Came here yesterday around 8:30pm on a Friday. The wait was a little over 30 minutes. We got seated and we were able to order fast and food came fast. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. The food is always good, the quality isn't bad for the price. Always love the galbi. When we first got there it was very full, but once it was our turn to be seated ppl were heading out. This one is closest to our house and probably one of the better tasting kbbqs. We usually get the seafood boil but this time we didn't. read more

Daikon is my most-frequented KBBQ location in the Sacramento area. I usually eat during lunch when the AYCE is slightly cheaper, and I've even dined by myself several times. Though the menu is a little limited, I really appreciate the quality of the food. From the appetizer menu, I really love the lemon pepper chicken wings, sesame balls, and the cheese corn. I love the marinated boneless galbi and and bulgogi beef (I know I'm pretty basic) and appreciate that the lettuce wraps are included in the AYCE. The banchan is always fresh and diverse, and I especially love the pickled daikon which I eat with everything. Tonight I had dinner for the first time. Despite the restaurant being pretty busy, we were seated quickly, though there was some sauce on my bench seat that I needed to clean off. Besides the seats, the grill, table, and utensils were all very clean, though I wish the scissors were sharper. Service during dinner was pretty slow. For the first time ever--at any KBBQ restaurant--we sat in between rounds with nothing on the table but our drinks. But we weren't rushed out despite hitting up against the 2 hour limit, so we left very full. I took advantage of the 2 for 1 soju and took one home with me--I really appreciate that they bring them sealed so you can do that AND I can show off my soju tricks. Daikon is the most convenient and affordable KBBQ location for me, so even though it's not perfect, I will happily go back again and again...but maybe I'll stick to lunch. read more

Food was good and service was good! There was no wait and the staff seated us immediately. The steamed egg was really good. The soda was refillable. Fries were fresh and crispy. The cheese corn and elote corn was not good. Corn did not taste fresh it was chewy and plastic-y. Radishes were good. Free parking in the shared plaza lot. The staff was attentive. Food was brought out by a cat robot and by the staff. Lots of tables available. There was a cake cutting fee if you brought a cake. read more

I came here when they had the Firehouse pop-up and it was really cool. One thing to know is that if you come for that, make sure to tell them right when you walk in because they have two different seating areas. At first we sat in the Korean barbecue section, which looked really nice, super clean, and spacious. The service came right away, which is how we found out we were actually on the wrong side. When we moved to the Firehouse section, they already had their menu propped up on the table just like the Korean BBQ side and they had the same drink options too. Service was quick, friendly, and super attentive. We ordered the combo that came with shrimp, mussels, crab, and corn. Everything was a pound each and it definitely filled us up. We got the combination flavor that mixes all the seasonings and chose the hot spicy level. The seasoning was really good and full of flavor, and they also gave us salt, pepper, and lemons on the side. I also added potatoes to the combo, which was an additional three dollars and also got a side of rice. I did have to remind them about my rice & hot sauce that I had asked for, but that gave us the opportunity to order their garlic fries as well which were full of flavor! And even though they did forget a few things, they constantly checked up on us, which I really appreciated since I didn't have to wait around when something did come up! Overall, I had a really good experience here. The only thing to keep in mind is that parking isn't right in front of the restaurant. It's in a big lot a little bit down the strip, but it's not too far of a walk. I definitely want to come back next time to try their Korean barbecue section because it looked so good. read more

I'm going to tip the scales and just go with a full 5 star review for this place. My dining experience here was fabulous and as a Korean-American myself -- they made me feel right at home. From the swift service of bringing you banchan refills, changing grills, asking if you'd like more meat, asking if you'd like to order anything else on the menu, and refilling water/soda; Daikin won my business and let me explain why. 1. Their service is phenomenal. Behind the curtains of Daikon, there has to be a KBBQ King or Queen who really knows how to run the business well. It shows and reflects in the staff. They know what they are doing and it's felt by the customers! I almost felt like I was in an all Korean restaurant led by native Korean people. Fantastic job to all the staff!! 박수!! [Clap clap] 2. Their food tastes good. Kimchi jjigae was flavorful, banchan tastes right, and the meat quality is surprisingly good and way above average. No complaints from me whatsoever in the food department. They passed the brisket and non marinated short rib test. The two benchmark meats that will dictate how the rest of their beef/meat selection will taste. Life hack for non-koreans. 3. Restaurant ambience and decor deserves an A+. Authentically Korean aesthetic and the vibe is perfect when gorging on some AYCE KBBQ. Ohh and the waiting Robots from Asia have officially made their way to the US! 4. The waitlist on a Sunday evening was about 30+ mins and they served us super quick even after a long wait. 5. Oh, did I mention how great their service is??? I think I did. read more

Doors was good. Service was good. I like that there are vents directly above the grill. I'd come back. We were never waiting for the next round of meat we ordered. I really like the offering if side dishes like fries, wings and japchae. Their Japchae was 9.5/10. Amazing read more

What an incredible experience! This is how all KBBQ spots should be run. Extremely friendly and responsive waitstaff, food that comes out immediately after you order and high quality meats and sides at an extremely low price for all you can eat.

It was clean, the service was quick, and the grate was replaced when needed. Unfortunately the sides were just terrible. Bad kimchi, limp sad soybeans, no good options, just the bare minimum. Very limited dipping sauce options. BAD corn cheese, very wet. The soup tasted very watery with no flavor. The meat cuts weren't impressive lacking good marbling on the quality options. I'll try every other place first before I end up back here. read more

Came here with 17 people, 9 kids. For such a big group, everything was pretty smooth. Our server Heidi served us like a pro. She was on it...taking multiple orders with 2 separate tables, changing our grills multiple times without ever leaving us alone for too long. She always checked up on us constantly. The food was good. The menu had a lot of items and meat quality was good. We ate a lot and actually had a really great time here with our friends. They have a full bar with great drinks. Will come back again. read more

The restaurant is large and very nicely decorated. There were a lot of people on a Tuesday night but we got seated in about 15 minutes. The server was excellent. He kept checking in on us. He gave us soda refills constantly. The food here is really good. There are 2 tiers: PREMIUM AYCE ($34 dinner) and SUPREME AYCE ($40 dinner). The price difference is only $7 between the 2 options. The Supreme has a lot more appetizers and proteins to choose from. I recommend that option. The food was very good. The marinated beef cuts were great. I usually only get beef over pork and chicken. Pork and chicken takes too long to cook. I ain't got time to check if it's thoroughly cooked either haha. Some food items never came out. They have a robot that brings out some meats and I think other customers accidentally took them from the robot. We had to re-order the missing items. I'll be coming back whenever I crave KBBQ. read more

My sisters and I came here for my sister's birthday! This was my second time coming here! Let me say this place has such a unique vibe! The wait is very long about an hour wait but there's a bar to hang out and chill while you wait. At the bar we ordered lemons drop: love the tart taste! white linen: the hint of elderflower as magnificent A mojito: mint is just so refreshing First advice wear loose clothing cause for $40 of all you can eat Korean BBQ you are going to eat ALOT! There are two ways of eating premium AYCE and Supreme AYCE we went with the premium. Each meal cones with variety of toppings already at the table like pickled onions spicy cumbers and kimchi. You start with 3 appetizers 3 proteins and 3 sides for the table and as you cook and finish each round you can order more. You have two hours for the all you can eat ie AYCE! Hence wear loose clothing lol! Everything was great and here's what was ordered over and over again multiple times!: Cheesy corn: sweat and cheese delicious goodness Lemon pepper wings: perfect blend of lemon taste. Salt and pepper wings: can't go wrong with wings! Spicy ramen: yes it's spicy but would have like a bowl with it cause this was shareable but we could drink the actual soup just ate the noodles. For protein we order Chicken Shrimp Bulgogi thin cut marinated ribeye: oh my god number one protein option! So delicious! Hawaiian marinated steak: the most delicious protein!! Boneless short ribs For sides we ordered Rice Assorted vegetables Zucchini Rude paper Side salad You can change items each round!! I believe we did 4 rounds in less than two hours! You can't go wrong with this place! Everything was so delicious and it was so much fun cooking the meats together and serving each other. It's a family fun dinner place! The kids would enjoy the experience! Lastly I would like to shout out our waiter who had the patience of saint dealing with our large group and guiding us on how to fully enjoy our experience. I don't recall his name but he was a tall young Asian guy! He really made our experience enjoyable! read more

Absolutely love this place. Love the interior design as well as the menu options and the lil robot friend that helps serve some of your meats. We went on a Monday evening and we waited for about 45 minutes which was not bad. We just walked around and explored. Anyways we get seated and we got the premium AYCE. We got thick cut pork belly, garlic soy pork belly thin cut, beef brisket, and boneless short ribs. Along with that we ordered lemon pepper wings and egg souffle for appetizers, and rice paper, salad, and japchae for sides and then salt/sesame oil for our sauce!
