    Danji is an absolute gem! Unassuming outside / tables/ chairs but it is about the food! Super good, super authentic & exactly what Korean food should be. I've been coming here for a while now and I always keep coming back, especially for the soups. They're rich, flavorful, and comforting! You can really taste the love and tradition in every bowl. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and the side dishes are on another level. If you're looking for real deal Korean cuisine that hits the spot every time, this is the place. It seems like it's always one waiter in the front and the cook in the back but highly recommend!

    This is the best, most authentic Korean restaurant that we've tried in NC. The banchan was flavorful and varied, and the food was delicious.  This is what we got: + Beef soon tofu soup: 9/10. My mom (Korean and lived in Queens, NY for decades) said that the broth was very rich and the amount of beef in it was generous. It has the right amount of spice too.  + Sul lung tang: 8/10. My mom said that it tasted like it had been cooked the right way (boiled for hours). + Jja jang myun: 7/10. My husband said it was decent and on the sweeter side.  + Tang soo yook: 8/10. This is the best tang soo yook I've ever had. Light, crunchy, and the portion was very generous. The sauce came on the side, which helped it stay crunchy-fresh. Get this.  + Jjam bbong: 9/10. This is the best jjam bbong I've ever had. The broth was amazingly flavorful, the right amount of spice (medium), and hot dang - I've never had so much seafood in dish before! It came with a couple large shrimps (in shell), crab legs, mussels... They even gave a separate bowl with disposable gloves and scissors for seafood eating. If you like seafood, spice, and noodles (in broth), try this. On our way out, we saw these Korean clay pots that had gochujang (red pepper sauce) and dwen jang (soybean paste) being fermented. I've never seen this in the U.S.!!! We spoke with the chef and she said she started making these because she couldn't find good ones sold in the U.S. l-e-g-i-t. If you are looking for a legit, authentic Korean restaurant with high quality, flavorful ingredients, this is the place for you. If you're looking for a more trendy Korean restaurant that tend to be more Americanized (like Korean BBQ), this isn't it. If you've never tried authentic Korean food before, you'll experience it here.

    Supposed yukejang. No noodles or eggs or green onions. Barely any gosari. It looks more like haejanggook.

    My mom made me go back even though I swore I wouldn't. She had to see for herself if the food was that bad or not. She got the soup in question from last time and j got the black bean noodles. The verdict is that it was better than before but she said she has never had the soup that way. She said it was too sweet and too salty. The soup shouldn't be sweet at all. She also said the basic ingredients were wrong and she thinks they used the main soup base as they prepare for most dishes and added ingredients to make this as close to the original as it could be. Even such, she said they failed at it and gave it a 3/10. Mine was very salty and sweet. It was also super oily and I couldn't eat it. They did give plenty of seafood which is a plus. I give mine a 5/10. They gave more side dishes than they did last time and service was 100 times better than the last. We were well attended to except she never refilled drinks. Overall I think they're nicer when they see an older Korean face. It was night and day from when I went last time in service and condiments. And the food was better too. She told me she didn't like it at all and said that was the last chance and not to go back. They're overpriced and the food was only so-so. We paid 40+ for a noodle dish and a soup at lunch. Slight improvement from last time. No insults this time but the food was not good. The man from the last time never made an appearance. That's a good thing. He wasn't very respectful.

    They have soju! Soup was delicious and I can tell all of their ban-chan(side of little Korean dishes) were all good. It's small but perfect for those who wants to go alone.

    We were back out on the food prowl and came to a place that was so impressive. It started when the smells from the kitchen smacked us in the face as we walked in the doors, we knew we were in for a treat. Danji is located off West Market St. in Greensboro and they serve up some of the best Korean food we have discovered. Walking to our seat we couldn't help stare at the layouts on other tables as we passed by. We ordered the Stone Bowl of Bibimbap, it came out sizzling so loud it silenced the dining room. Danji has definitely pushed it's way towards the top of our list of places to eat! Chicken Tempura - deep fried chicken bites with sweet and spicy sauce Stone Bowl Bibimbap - rice with vegetable, egg, spicy sauce. Choose meat Don Katsu - crispy breaded pork cutlet served with house sauce

    Sweet and Spicy Pork, LA Galbi, Dumpling Soup, Banchan Galore!

    Loveeeeee Danji this was my 3rd visit and food was excellent as always. My only complaint is the slow service and have to remind my waiter about a few extra items I ordered. Since getting into K-Dramas over the last few years I have found an appreciation for Korean food and let me tell you Danji is authentic & delicious. So if you're looking for authentic Korean food Danji is the place... SARANGHAE & KAMSA HAMIDA

    It was okay very tight and the Korean bbq doesn't have much room and but the food is good and very much to the idea of what I would hope for. With that said the food is good and the people is nice.

    Kimchi Pancake - very greasy!
    Fred B.

    Little confused as to the actual name of this restaurant - Danji or Dasarang? I had it delivered by Door Dash and their website lists it as Dasarang. Anyway, I ordered Kimchi Jeon (a pancake, $9.99), Dan Katsu ( a pork cutlet, $11.99), Kimchi Stew (a stew, $8.99), and Galbi Tang ( a beef short rib noodle soup, $13.99) - whew! The food was really a hit or miss situation - what was good was very good, what wasn't, clearly wasn't - and it was about a 3 to 1 miss!! The Kimchi Jeon carried some real heat but was very, very greasy. The ribs in the Galbi Tang were very tough and chewy, and on their own had no flavor! The Dan Katsu was dry and much overcooked, sauce helped some, but not enough in the final analysis! The small saving grace was the Kimchi Stew, it was simply outstanding - amazing flavor, heat, and competing textures with a very nice broth! This is a dish I'd order again, but it is the only one. I may try to pair it with another choice or two and hope for the best! Not up to it competition down the road, imho! Aside from the food, the customer service here is not great - they are slow, really slow, and don't seem to care if they are - the delivery service waited 30 minutes in the restaurant, starting at 4:30!

    I give this place 5 stars for the food! It's not much to look at on the inside, and quite frankly it's a maze trying to find the bathroom. But the food is on point. The flavors of the bipimbop working together with the red sauce is like a party in your mouth. I've been back twice and will go back again. As for the atmosphere, it's not a place I'd go for a fancy date. But it's a foodies dream getting to experience the culture and quality food.

    I first came here for my birthday with a big group and had a great time doing the full…read moreall-you-can-eat. This time I came back by myself and tried the noodle bar instead, and it's a completely different experience but still worth it. The noodle bar is set up like a small Korean grocery store station. Shelves of instant ramen to choose from, you grab your bowl, add your noodles and seasoning, then use one of the machines to cook it. There are three settings and I used M1, which came out just right. The broth was hot and the noodles had a good texture, not mushy. This is a basic setup. No fresh toppings, no eggs, no extras to dress it up. Some places offer that, but this one keeps it simple. If you go in expecting a full ramen bar you might be disappointed, but if you understand what they're going for, it works. And don't break your noodles. Leave them long so you can slurp them the way you're supposed to. If you watch Korean dramas, you've seen this a hundred times. Slurp the noodles and drink the broth after. I also ordered the Cajun tiger roll, 10 pieces, and that plus the noodles was more than enough food. The roll had tempura shrimp and cucumber inside, topped with spicy crab salad, spicy mayonnaise, and flame-seared salmon. The sushi chef used a handheld torch to sear the salmon right in front of me, and that added a nice finish. Between the noodles and sushi, I was full. This is a good option if you don't want to do the full all-you-can-eat. It's quick, easy, and you still get a good experience without committing to grilling at the table. I'd still recommend this place for groups, but now I'd also tell people not to overlook the bar if you're by yourself or just want something lighter. Must order: Instant ramen (use M1) and the Cajun tiger roll Heads up: Noodle bar is basic with no fresh toppings, manage expectations accordingly

    I was very disappointed with my experience at this all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant. First,…read morethey charged for a 1-year-old child, which felt unreasonable considering a child that age barely eats enough to justify an additional fee. When I asked about it, the explanation did not make the policy seem any more fair. What concerned me even more was the safety issue. There was hot water left out in the open where it could easily be knocked over or reached by a small child. In a restaurant that welcomes families, this creates an unnecessary risk for burns and injuries. Between the unexpected charge for a toddler and the lack of attention to basic safety, the experience left a negative impression. I hope management reviews both their pricing policies and safety practices to better serve customers and families.

We personally believe they have the best traditional Korean food in the area. We order the seafood tofu soup every time we visit because it always comes out piping hot and with a generous amount of protein-- perfect for the winter time. This time we tried the Jajang Tangsooyook Set as well, which will probably become a regular for us too. The jajang (black bean) noodles had a generous portion of beef and noodles, and the tangsooyook (fried pork) was so perfectly crispy and complemented so well with the sweet and sour sauce. On top of the great food, the price of every entree is beyond reasonable for the portion you get and the staff is always friendly! Another plus? They have Kpop playing on their TV. We have yet to have a mad meal here. Kaya appears to be a family run restaurant, so you can truly feel the love in the food and the staff. I haven't tried the japanese or chinese food here, but i highly recommend the korean food!

Perfect for a cold night. The banchan was very generous portions & well made. If you're looking for something besides chain restaurants, support your local family run eateries & add Kaya to your list.

The environment was beyond my expectations for the typical in-grocer restaurant. It was big, bright, well decorated, and super clean. You would never guess you were in a grocery store if you didn't have to walk through it to get inside. Because it was slow the cashier brought our food to us instead of making us get up to get it.
