    Beef chuck steak
    Shabbir S.

    We went for weekend dinner, with prior reservations. The restaurant was quite full, though we got our table immediately. The ambiance, cleanliness, vibes are moderate. Seating is not very cramped (neither very spacious). We had table bbq with beef hanging tender and beef chuck steak. Quality of meat was average. Limited parkings available at the back of the restaurant (entrance from Patricia Ave)

    Whenever I'm back in Toronto to visit, I always come to visit daldongnae! Serving sizing is fair and delicious, place is intimate but always a fun time with friends and family! Service is quick but they are busy often! I you daldongnae, miss u already :(

    Default banchan and sauces

    There was a request for Korean BBQ so we checked out this location. The outside is deceiving as it looks like a quiet house, but the moment you walk in, the space is bustling with patrons. They decorated the space with a bunch of antiques and it makes you feel like you are sitting outside eating. For those who actually want to sit outside, there is a patio space in the back. You are required to order a grill dish for each person at the table and each grill dish is around $25. That is before ordering rice or noodles so the bill quickly adds up. I enjoyed the refillable sides, including the steamed egg/kimchi/corn/garlic which cooks at the rim of the grill. Would definitely recommend getting some rice to make lettuce wraps with!

    Kimchi pork fried rice
    Janice Y.

    It was seamless to grab a seat midweek evening when I was there. Overall, a thumbs up. As a group of three, we ordered three portions of meat and the Kimchi fried rice, which was the ideal quantity of food for us. Quality delicious BBQ and it reflects in the price. I would've liked more sides to finish my meal, but if you've completed your meat, they stop refilling your banchan/sides. So make sure you preorder your side refills before you finish cooking your meat. Pros: Quality meats, light sauces that compliment the meats well without overpowering, and the sides like cheesy corn, steamed egg and of lettuce to wrap the meat. Love pork belly and you can have it cut thick or thin. The Kimchi fried rice is amazing! Better than what I can make at home. Cons: They only have red meat - ie. different cuts of pork and beef, no chicken and no seafood. However, for vegetarians, they do have a veggie grilling portion. They don't have complimentary Korean green onion salad, which I had in my fav KBBQ restaurant. I love to eat it with grilled meats. Though that one is closed since the pandemic... and not sure if it's something other KBBQ restaurants offer nowadays.

    Their best location out of all of them in my opinion! I'm a regular Staff is always nice. and the food is good!!

    One of my new favourite Korean BBQ places! Love that there are complementary side dishes on the grill - there's egg, kimchi, cheesy corn, and garlic. You can refill them too. The cheesy corn was my favourite, look at that cheese pull! On top of that there's various complementary small side dishes, soup, and a refillable basket of lettuce to wrap the meat. For the meat, we ordered Pork Jowl Meat, Pork Belly w/ Skin, Beef Short Plate. All of the meat tasted amazing! I like that the meat was not pre-marinated, but instead they give you sauces to dip it in after it's cooked. They've got COVID-19 safety protocols in place including temperature checks when you enter the restaurant, hand sanitizer, and social distancing. You can also enjoy this Korean BBQ out on their beautiful patio, except there just might be some bees flying around...

    Boneless beef rib
    Tomasz P.

    The food itself here is delicious. Traditional Korean table cooking BBQ with fresh meats and a variety of side dishes make up a pretty amazing culinary experience here. There's quite a bit to choose from but I'd personally recommend the boneless beef rib and kimchi pancake. The staff here are incredible. Friendly, fast and attentive but not intrusive. They usually have no problems accommodating special requests if they're able. I hate tipping culture in general, but at this place I never felt pressured to tip, and I always felt like I wanted to because the service was always great. Location wise there are two that I've been to. The one at Yonge and Steeles (that's the good one) and the one further south of that also on Yonge street which I would avoid like the plague. The other location is dark, uncomfortable and the staff were awful when I was there. If you go to the Yonge and Steeles location you'll be glad you did. Enter the restaurant from the back, near the parking lot. I'm not sure why they don't have a front facing entrance, but if you can't find it, that's where it is.

    Oh my gosh the food was incredible! We've been to many Korean BBQ in Toronto/Markham and this place was by far one of the best! The last time I remember having really good Korean bbq meats was when I was in Korea and this place definitely comes close to that experience. Our server was super helpful as it was our first visit, he helped us pick the meats for barbecuing and we went with the two most popular choices which were the pork belly and beef tenderloin. You need to be patient when cooking the pork belly as the meat is very thick. Both the pork and the beef were delicious and absolutely mouthwatering! There was also lots of complimentary dishes which went really well with the bbq meats. I would recommend ordering one meat dish per person. For the three of us, we ordered 3 meats for barbecuing and two side dishes and we were really full and had leftovers to bring home. The side dishes that we got were the stir fried kimchi pork tofu and seafood pancake. Both were good but we really liked the kimchi pork tofu dish which we'll likely order again on our next visit. Overall, we really loved this place and we'll be back very soon!

    Tasty, authentic KBBQ for Toronto standards! I find the meat portions to be on the smaller side, but the side dishes are plentiful. The service is usually quite quick and friendly too. Even better than the KBBQ are the kimchi cold noodles! Absolutely the most delightful item on the entire menu. I would return just to order these cold noodles again.

    We went back to this location for my birthday. We also tried different mains. Their seafood pancake was so delicious - crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, and it remained crispy throughout the whole meal! And of course, you did some fried rice to go with the bbq. The service remained the same, we consistently received banchan refill when we needed it, and the drinks were good, too. I'm so glad the ambiance, quality of the food, and the service remained consistent since my last visit in May.

    Beef short ribs
    Ying L.

    Ordered pork belly, beef short ribs and beef short plate, not like last time in Scarborough Daldongnae, this time I liked the short plate the most! Seafood pancake was crispy but can't spot too much seafood , a lot of green onions The service was good and fast , and their backyard patio is open, nice vibes , great for meat lovers like me :)

    Got pork belly with skin & pork shoulder butt at this Korean BBQ place. The meats were decent. The decor is cute, like you're sitting at a Korean night market. Pork Kimchi stew was decent. It was sour & spicy (I don't like kimchi). It was also pretty sweet: more sweet than other kimchi stews. It was generous with ingredients. There were 5 banchan plus corn & kimchi in the hot plate. So effectively there were 7. There was egg & garlic too; the egg after a while became like steamed egg Complimentary soy bean soup was good: mainly salty notes with some spicy ones. It was like spicy miso. The rice served here was not white but red rice.

    Daldongnae's another one of my favourite places to go for kbbq! It was my first time going to this location. We ordered a few meats. It comes with a lot of sides, tofu stew, and some sauces for dipping. I really liked how our server explained what each side dish was. All the sides are refillable. We also ordered the Korean egg rolls. It was good but I probably wouldn't order it again as one of the sides is already steamed egg. My go to is usually the seafood pancake. There's also parking located behind the building which you can enter through the side street. The parking lot isn't the most obvious but the entrance is connected to the Katsuya parking lot!

You walk up a goldcolored hallway and 2 flights of stairs before reaching the restaurant. The host stand is farther inside.....which will make sense once you are physically in the space. The workers were very friendly and funny. I had a great time bantering with them. My friend from 8th grade and I reunited for the first time in 21 years over dinner. This was one of her picks, and I am deeply grateful she chose it. Appetizers: Rock Shrimp, Fatty Tuna Nigiri, Crispy Rice Tuna Entrée: Jidori Chicken Drinks: Sangria, Champagne Dessert: Yuzu Citrus The rock shrimp was delicious. We loved the sauce it was tossed in. My friend is not usually a shrimp fan but she polished it off for me. The fatty tuna nigiri was great, as expected, and the crispy rice tuna was phenomenal. The Jidori chicken was delightful. We loved the sauce, and the mashed potatoes were pillowy. I did not have the sangria but my friend said it was the best she had ever had. The yuzu citrus dessert came with strawberry gelato and cookie crumbs. The gelato was not overly sweet and the yuzu was perfectly tart. They also put a little "Reunited" note on the dessert plate, which we both thought was such a sweet touch. Definitely pricey, but definitely worth it. Recommended it to my Toronto friends, I really want to go back and get that king crab rice.

It's a gorgeous setting and has a complete vibe of luxury. I thought the tacos were yummy, but the meat didn't feel special like you expect when you hear waygu. It also wasn't as earthy as I've experienced with waygu, but I didn't really mind that. I also got the Brother From Another Mother roll and really enjoyed that. All The dishes are very aesthetic and enjoyable. I was surprised at the end with a little birthday treat. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and I'd definitely go back.

It's rare to see a Korean restaurant so encouraging of refilling side dishes. I got the seafood pancake which was the crispiest I have ever had. It was also really tasty but I later suspect they use MSG for seasoning which makes it so good. It was really big though and we had leftovers to bring home. The soup and rice was also nice but not a lot of meat. The food took some time to come out but it was busy times while we were there.

The staff helped us through the menu and gave us recommendations, and was so kind and fun to chat with! I had gotten the chicken katsu and my friend the beef tartar bibimbap. Both came with amazing portions and we had food to spare. The katsu was perfectly crispy, and the house made sauce was perfectly seasoned and amazing! It also came with apples and salad on the side which was a perfect pallet cleanser. The bibimbap had a great variety of toppings and everything was seasoned well. When thoroughly mixed, everything bite had a bit of everything and it was delicious. On top of the food u get when you order, the meal also comes with 6 different sides. There was 3 different kimchi, braised potatoes and 2 others that I'm not sure what they are, but they were delicious. My favourite was the potatoes and kimchi! Overall this is an amazing place to bring those close to you for delicious korean food!
