This place is kind of unclean and dirty, even for a BBQ place. The clean utensils were greasy, the plates and dishes appeared grungy, and the whole atmosphere was just very unclean and depressing. The food was very mediocre. My wife thought it was terrible and stopped eating after a few bites. We won't be going back — the waitresses were nice, but I'm not trading food for service.
We order lunch from here often, and the food never disappoints. They offer a great lunch special deal.
The bbq is amazing; on the pricier side, but worth it. The pork belly and marinated beef here is the best.
The location is convenient and three is ample parking in the lot. There's a bus stop right out front. It's also right next to the Hmart and a Paris Baguette.
My only grow here is the ventilation, they could improve that a bit. During dinner, it gets to the point where the entire restaurant is filled with smoke(more so, I think, than any other bbq restaurant). And yet the bathrooms are freezing (during the winter/colder months). I have started putting all my outerwear and layers into a plastic bag to avoid the smell from seeping in.
But then, the food is worth it…My poor new jacket 🙁
The Story: Favorite spot to get KBBQ. Came here with my cousin when she was in town!
Food:
I love the banchan here – there are so many different types. Endless supply too!
My favorite BBQ item here is the pork belly. Meat is higher quality than any other KBBQ place I've been to (which sadly isn't a lot lol).
Decor: Not much in terms of decor. But we're here to eat!
Price: We had a party of 7 and my share for 2 people was $70 with tip. We ordered 3 BBQ items and seafood pancake.
Service: Service is good. Our meats were cooked for us and cut up as well. They also save the best cut for last.
Parking & Finding the Place: Located behind the Super H mart. Lots of parking.
Additional Thoughts/Tips: Their lunch specials looked interesting. I'll probably come back for that.
I had my rehearsal dinner here.
We picked this place because they could accommodate a large party and its BYOB.
The service was great as the waitresses grilled our meat very well and provided us lots of side dishes and rice.
I would come here more often if I lived closer or if I ever remember how to pronounce the name.
I always passed by this place but didn't feel like trying because it seems like there was nobody all the time. Then a friend of mine introduced me to this this place, and was i indeed impressed. As the name indicates (well it may not be obvious, but DAEJI means pork in Korean), they specialize on pork.
I have been here 3 times since getting to know about this place about 3 months ago, and everytime it was packed and every time I was satisfied. I got pork belly all three time. They serve steamed egg and bean soup as part of the meat entree, which are both good. They also have mini portion cold noodle (naeng myun) so you can try them without paying a lot and getting too full.
This place has become my go-to for Korean BBQ. Can't get anything like this in MA so anytime I'm down in NJ and craving Korean this is where I drag everyone that I'm with.
Have always gotten the galbi and samgyupsal and they haven't disappointed. There's a huge variety to the banchan spread and they even include steamed egg and a spicy soup. 2 orders to use the grill and that is about enough food for 3 people if you get an appetizer too. I've had the pajeon a couple times and it's tasty. The nice Korean ajumma will help you with the grill if you look like you don't know what you're doing.
This place is a little pricey but worth it for the food. Don't take it for granted cause up north it'll cost more and be of worse quality. BYOB which is a huge plus so grab some Sapporo from the liquor store in the Hmart and you're all set for a great dinner.
Located right next to H Mart, we came in on a Sunday afternoon around 3 and place was really empty. What I found really appealing was that they have lunch special prices even on weekends making our meals really affordable.
I really enjoyed the appetizers plenty that I didn't see before in other Korean Restaurants. The tofu in hot spicy sauce was one of the really good dishes I've had.
For entree we had the bimbibop and Tofu soup which are pretty standard Korean menu. For the price we paid it was really good definitely on par with the ones I've had in Manhattan and Fort Lee.
It sounds like people recommends BBQ here, I'll definitely have to try it when I'm here again next time. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend this place. I was surprised to see this place hasn't have more reviews and more exposure 🙂
All in all, an unexpected great meal in our grocery shopping stop at H Mart
This place is shaping up to be my favorite korean bbq around here. They specialize in pork but also have other meats. Their pork ribs are amazing and probably the only thing you need to order. Maybe some pork belly and beef ribs too. The meat is excellent and the service is just as good. They give you lots of banchan to start with to minimize the need for asking for more.
It's BYOB so it cuts down on cost by A LOT in comparison to other korean bbq places that serve alcohol. 20-25 dollars for a serving of pork, which is considered cheap now (used to be the norm..) and 38 for beef (kinda pricey, but the pork makes up for it). Got 2 servings of pork belly, pork ribs, and beef ribs, 6 servings total and it came out to $185, without tip. I was surprised we didnt hit the 200 mark, which was nice. Can't get this value anywhere else anymore, especially when this place tastes just as good, if not better than other places. Also got 3 servings of fluffy steamed egg and doenjang jjigae without having to ask!
This place is starting to get more crowded than before and I can see why. Great prices, BYOB, pleasant service.. why go anywhere else?
