    Default banchan and sauces
    Cin C.

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    The spread
    Michelle L.

    There's a reason Daldongnae's are popping up all over the city! This one is also located on Yonge in a busy stretch. It does amazingly have a small parking lot in the back. The decor is reminiscent of the other locations. It's dark on the inside with a lot of wood paneling like an old school bar. We went a later in the afternoon around 2pm and we were able to get seated immediately. They have booths that can accommodate a good number of people - we had a party of 8. Daldongnae is not all you can eat with the trade off being that their meats are high quality. You also have some great bonuses like the garlic and steamed egg that come with the grill. The banchans are refillable but there are limits on these.

    Pork belly, beef tenderloin, complimentary side dishes
    Rachel L.

    Always a great experience here! I love the unlimited side dishes. We ordered a hot soup noodle and kimchi pancake as well. Both were really good! I was with a friend who couldn't eat pork, they were able to give us some sesame oil to coat the pan instead. The patio is heated and warm with the grill going. The service was good as well!

You can make a reservation with 6 people but you'll still wait a bit. Loud, but vibey! Servers were very attentice and super patient. Where improvement could be made, honestly, is upgrading to an ipad or some sort of ordering system. This would lighten the load on the servers and keep things a bit more organized-- we had a couple things we had to order a few times before they showed up.

Instead, I waited over an hour with no update. When I finally called the restaurant to check on the order, I was casually told that it had been cancelled because they ran out of food. The problem is that no one bothered to notify me. No message in the app, no call -- nothing. I was simply left waiting for over an hour for an order they apparently already knew they couldn't fulfill. What made it worse was the attitude on the phone. The person I spoke with was rude and dismissive, with no apology or attempt to make the situation right. Now I'm told the refund could take up to 10 business days to return to my credit card. Running out of food happens. Ignoring a $200+ order for over an hour on a Friday night and then being rude to the customer is unacceptable. Plenty of better BBQ options in the city -- I won't be ordering from here again.
