One of the best all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spots I've ever visited! They offer a wide variety of meats, and I loved that you get your own portions to grill. The price also comes with unlimited hot pot. The selection is impressive, and they even have dessert with coffee on the side -- a nice touch to end the meal. Lunch (Mon-Fri) is a great deal at $26 until 3 PM, and dinner is $36. The service was outstanding, and the restaurant was spotless. Highly recommend! Family, friends, solo, and couple friendly! Lots of parking availability read more

We recently went here again during lunchtime. This is an hour-plus drive for us, but it's worth it. We have a couple of AYCE KBBQ places closer to us, but this place is better, in our opinion. Different or more dessert options would be nice, but even without them, it's still good. Loved the japchae and hotpot!! Honestly, it was still great, and we are sad that it was our last visit, as we are moving soon, so that last visit was bittersweet. Service still good and ambiance was simple. read more

Dam-A is great! It's similar to Kpot, which is a franchise. They bring you the hotpot soup and you can serve yourself the hotpot ingredients and the Korean BBQ. The service is very good. They have an army of people taking away your plates, refilling your water and replacing the grill plate. The ambiance is casual. My only quibble is very minor. The mussels were small. Overall the food and service was great. read more

This was so good! The servers were really helpful since it was my first time. I loved all the food! I can't wait to bring my family here! read more

DAM-A - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

AYCE hot pot, kbbq grill, and spring rolls! I love that I can eat hot pot and grill at the same time. I also love that everything is self served. Only thing is not, soup. Servers can refill. All frozen meats, marinated meats, veggies, and seafood are self served. Meats and veggies are fresh. My favorite broth is seafood. Mala is also really good if you want spicy. Bc it is all you can eat they don't have the nicer meats like galbi. But they do have pork jowl , which at some restaurants is considered premium. Servers are also very attentive to your burner. They will change it consistently, esp if you cook a lot of marinated meats. I have not tried the springs rolls. But they have a little corner where you can get all the things you need for spring rolls. Near the fresh rice cooker. read more

This place was great! My friend told us about it, all you can eat hot pot with bbq. The sauce bar is great, lots of options. This is also self serve where you get your own food, lots of variety from green leafy vegetables to delicious meats! We didn't do the bbq as no one was interested. I got the spicy hot pot which wasn't that spicy at all. They were attentive and came back for water/tea refills. The place is spacious with plenty to tables. I'd make sure you get a reservation in case it gets really crowded. read more

This was my first time having Korean food so I can't really compare it to other Korean food experiences- but it was really tasty. The broth options were plentiful I thought - I think there were 6-7 options? It's a buffet style so if you're good at building a bowl or udon, ramen, or rice noodles with all the fixings, you should do pretty well here. I didn't really know what I was doing or what food combinations were good, but the server was nice as could be and led me around the buffet and talked me through the whole thing. Ambience was casual, I'd say good for a family style dining experience where you're preparing dinner with your family or friends. Overall, it was really good - I need more practice. Only thing I didn't love was how my clothes and hair smelled afterwards. read more

DAM-A - Bulgogi, pork belly - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'll lead with this: the bday and $26 deal DAM-A has on Wednesday is a great value! AYCE with both kbbq and personal hot pot - something to satisfy everyone in the group. The self-service area can get a bit crowded when everyone is up getting item. The staff was quick to refill. The cooked food apps are meh, but that's not why people come. The place was PACKED the whole time, so definitely recommend a reservation. Service was friendly and we'll be returning! read more

Long overdue review but better late than never! Okay selection of meat and veggies: I just don't like how they put the frozen sliced meet in the freezer and ee have to reach in and down to grab. Doesn't seem very sanitized to me. There's also Limited selection of cooked food and what they have wasn't all that exciting. We did not see a lot of desserts available when we went and it as during lunch time. Also, ice cream machine broke when went back for second round. :-( Ventilations were bad and we left smelling like BBQ. For how much we paid, I didn't add up to value in what we got! read more

This place has everything. That's a good thing and a bad thing when you are paralyzed with too many choices. The food was fresh and selection was amazing. read more

DAM-A - Hot pot and Korean bbq. Yes please. - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came in during lunch in a weekday. It was half full, so no reservation needed. The price was a steal!! The marinated meats were my favorite. The build your own spring roll station was cute, glad it had instructions. The hot pot broth can get spicy! Go crazy and enjoy the dip bar. I didn't touch the pre-cooked things, but they looked good. Tons of veggie and starch options. They have a full bar too. This will now be my go to for AYCE lunch read more

Came on a Monday night and was seated right away! We ordered the mushroom and mala chili broth. Both were great. Mushroom is a nice clear broth and the mala chili had some numbing to it in a good way. The all you can eat dinner price is $36 which is a great deal imo. The food is separated by seafood, frozen meats, veggies, and marinated meats for the Korean bbq portion in the back. Veggies were fresh and everything had a ton of stock. I wish the Korean bbq meat had slightly thicker cuts as they were all thin cuts but still marinated well and we enjoyed them. Service was super friendly and a very casual atmosphere. Can't remember if this is a permanent promotion, but if you go on your birthday and show them your ID, your meal is free which is amazing! Def will be back. read more

Hmmm... DAM-(A). Came to try this new spot during the first week they were open, and I will say this place left a lot to be desired. The selection was a little underwhelming, they have all of the basic items for hot pot, minus fish balls which was a little sad. And to be honest I've never actually been to a AYCE hot pot place where you get your own meat. After this experience, I can see why they aren't very abundant. There is something about digging into a trash bag full of frozen meat that doesn't seem to appetizing (trust me it isn't). The soup broth we got was also underwhelming, it more or less was flavorless hot water. We didn't try the KBBQ, but not sure I will be back to give it a try. One thing I will say is my bar for measuring how good a buffet/AYCE place is based on the selection, and service, and DAM-A fell pretty short on both. Selection was sparse, and not one time did someone come to take our dirty plates, or fill up our water; however, they did bring our check before we asked for it so maybe they were trying to tell us something? With the other options in Austin I may need to stick to the go-to's for hot pot and KBBQ. read more

It was great to be back at the former Chosun Galbi. I loved their KBBQ and now its both Hotpot and KBBQ and the options and set up are amazing! I liked the self serve set up and staff were great at explaining how everything worked. I heard a waitress at the next table explaining the concept to new guests and helping them pick out their drink selection. Staff were also very attentive to clearing away empty dishes to keep clutter minimal. Our waters were refilled pretty regularly and same with the grill so there weren't any burning smells. Food wise, i got the mushroom soup for hot pot and it was ok- maybe a little mild for flavor so I wish there was a little more seasoning. The mala hot pot was better seasoned and had a kick! I heard from another review that the seafood hot pot was great for making your own Army stew, which i will need to try another time. Pricing for the hotpot and kbbq was very fair, especially with the appetizers already available. My only wish was for the short ribs cause that was my favorite kbbq meat. I also wish there were more options for the side dishes, like the potatoe, radishes, anchovie, etc. Overall, I had a great time and would be back! read more

DAM-A - Fun server!! Apparently my double chin too lol - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I loved Cho Sun Galbi, and was very excited for this new opening. The service was kind and I felt welcomed, even with them being so busy. KBBQ: The bbq meats tasted great and it felt like there was good variety. I'd be willing to come back for that alone, and I loved that they gave the option of having green leaf lettuce for wrapping. Hotpot: The hotpot had good veggie options. Some of my noodles, the knife cut ones, stuck together so it was a little harder to eat. I do wish they offered the wide sweet potato noodles, but that's my personal preference. As well as maybe not cutting the noodles so short. Most of what I'd eat at hotpot were there. Spring roll bar: I think it could be great with some tweaking. I liked that there was hot water available for dipping the wraps. The noodles for it were not what would usually be used, as it had pho noodles instead of the vermicelli or bean thread and I had some difficult figuring out how to cook it without using my hotpot broth but ended up doing that anyway. I do wish there were herb options for the spring rolls Other things to note: - I didn't get to try the hot appetizers and desserts, so I can't speak to those - the kimchi was delicious, it was fresh and a little on the sweeter side - the rice was initially well done, but the second batch was different and I'm not sure what changed. Overall, I like the restaurant and I'm glad it's here. I did feel like there was a lot going on and it felt a little chaotic going the first time and wanting to try every aspect of it. My table was full before I even started cooking! I'll for sure be back, but I'll definitely need a better game plan. read more

Food was great , they have hot pot and Korean bbq in one price also Vietnamese spring rolls which are my favorite things to eat.

Yes another hotpot in Austin. What sets it apart is the ability to grab your meats straight from the stations--no waiting to order, just pure freedom to build your perfect meal. Here's how I made the most of it: I started by taking a lap around the buffet, grabbing veggies and sides, and went straight to the grill for some KBBQ. While my soup base was heating up, I cooked up some freshly grilled meats--nothing beats that first bite of smoky, tender goodness! As the soup started boiling, I added veggies to deepen the flavor and prepped ingredients for fresh spring rolls. Wrapping grilled meats, veggies, and dipping them in sauce was a game-changer. Once I was done with a few rolls, I dove into the hotpot--rich, flavorful, and so satisfying. At $36 for dinner, it's all-you-can-eat heaven with attentive service and a chill vibe. read more

Delicious! Cute, vibey ayce kbbq/hotpot. There's an abundance of fresh veggies to choose from. Marinated meat and frozen shabu shabu slices. They also have seafood to choose from as well. Everything was really good, clean and organized. Would have loved if they offered asian flavor ice cream or mochi. Service was extremely friendly and inviting. Give this place a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent food! Quick and easy service! Ambiance is perfect for a date night with partner or hanging out with friends and/or family! My wife and I enjoyed and will definitely head back soon! read more

I went here recently. The place is pretty cute and the ambiance is great. The broth options were great and there were a lot of options. They had a good sauce bar and the service was really good too! Everyone was super nice and kept checking in frequently. It was all self serve from the general veggies and sea food to the meat. The starters were pretty good, my fav was the japchae fs, and they also had some fried items. The meat was frozen in a freezer with a sliding door which was pretty convenient so the only thing I needed to ask for was the broth refills (an introvert's dream lol). They also had a spring roll bar which was really cool, the only thing was that the rice papers were squares but it's chill tbh. They had ice cream and brownies for dessert. They had a coffee machine and cut fruits which were good. read more

The only qualm I have about this place is the fact that we have to grab our own meat, but I can see why some people might like that as it allows for them to have control over their portions. Otherwise, the food is great, the servers are incredible, and the restaurant itself is aesthetically appealing. I'm a semi-frequent customer and I've never had a single complaint about the quality of the food or service. read more

Absolutely delicious! Staff were very inviting and friendly, and the restaurant was meticulously clean. 10/10 recommend!!

Overall, one of our favorite KBBQ/hot spots in town! We've tried several of the other KBBQ and hot pot spots and town, and this one is up there among the best. The broths offered are super solid, and the quality of the meats when we have gone have consistently been very fresh. The service has been very quick and attentive each time we have gone. There is a good selection of veggies and the desserts offered are shockingly good for an AYCE spot. Good spot for a casual and filling dinner! read more

Great quality, very clean (very organised and they definitely care about hygiene), a LOT of variety with meats, appetisers, soups vegetables etc. also great atmosphere!!

We loved it! My husband and I enjoyed everything! It is serve yourself, so you are not going to see super high end meats. However, that is understandable. It's still worth it for the freedom to choose small portions of some things and larger of others you prefer. Everything is super fresh and high quality. The service was extremely friendly! Everything was clean and well stocked. I'm looking forward to places like this becoming more common around the United States! It's pretty healthy compared to most. We both had Miso soup broth. It wasn't super strong in flavor, but that is key. You are the one that adds the flavor. If it's not salty enough, they have soy sauce and all kinds of sauces to create whatever flavor suits you. To say Korean BBQ here is bland, just means you're not doing it right, yet. read more

I will say this place is really good and worth the money and here is why. 1. It's all you can eat and you can Korean bbq and also hotpot at the same time which is amazing for the price of one. 2. The way the soup is ordered and all the meats and vegetables are section off and organized makes it easy and also there is cooked food in the back for like appetizers. Also has a big sauce selection too. 3. Final is that the price is very reasonable for doing hotpot and Korean bbq and if you go in Wednesday the price for dinner is the same price as lunch. I have been there twice and have no complaints about eating there. The service is good and friendly, except there is one server kind of older Asian man that the two times I have been there kinda gives me weird looks or something but I don't let it ruin my time when I go with family and friends. Definitely recommend for hangouts and getting food with friends. read more
