BaekGa

We shared an amazing LA Galbi main dish for 2! The short ribs were just perfect, and coming on a pad of smoky grilled onions and veggies flavored with beef juices. Great unlimited banchan. We also ordered traditional sparkling rice wine Makgeolli, and it paired very well with the main dish. The restaurant was a little busy when we arrived around 6 pm on a Tuesday, but the attentive service made up for the wait in full. I'm just happy that this place is in my neighborhood - will be back! UPD: we now tried a pork belly dish for two, and it's just as good as Galbi if not better. Highly recommend!!

A delicious restaurant located in a cute little area of Lowry. I've never been to this area before and was pleasantly surprised at all the cute shops! The restaurant itself is clean and has two entrances, one which leads to the main streets of the shopping street, and the other leads to the back where the parking lot is. The menu has a nice variety of dishes that you can order individually, or you can order their "mains" which are definitely enough to share for two. We got the LA kalbi main set, plus a scallion pancake, and it was more than enough for the two of us. The LA Kalbi was amazing, the meat was super tender, perfectly marinated, and came out on a steaming cast iron. The kalbi ribs sat on a bed of caramelized onions and the meal came with a nice variety of banchan as well as rice. The nice thing about this place is that sometimes when I get banchan, I only eat a few items and leave the rest, which feels like a pretty big waste of food. The banchan here are more selective but still varied, but more than enough for two people to split and feel satisfied. I think total our meal with tax and tip only ended up being around $45-ish per person, which is more than reasonable in my opinion. The waiter was super kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was wonderful. I really loved the interior decor and overall vibe of the restaurant. I'm definitely super happy with my experience here and definitely plan to come back!

Decided to pop over to a different side of town and try a new restaurant and BaekGa caught my eye. It definitely stands out amongst the other strip mall options in the area and was quite delicious. I tried the Peach Soju and a Bolgogi bowl with a Fried Egg. Both were quite delicious and I would recommend! I would have prefered a spicier option and the Bolgogi to be a bit more seared/crisp but I enjoyed the meal despite my preferences (which are of course opinions not fact).

Yummy galbi, AWESOME staff, and aesthetic interior! Also more affordable than we expected. We came for lunch but I could see this being a great after work or evening spot for shared plates + drinks.

Loved this place. The food, atmosphere and service is just great. Definitely coming back. Ordered: Gangjang 9.5/10 Sundubu stew 7.8/10 Bulgogi 9/10 Every side dish 9.8/10

If you’re looking for a Korean restaurant stop it’s here. This is a classy, quiet, clean friendly wonderful tasting restaurant. The server is just wonderful and the food is just as good. We’ll go back over and over again.

As a Korean, this is genuinely authentic Korean food. Our server Hyun Joo (Sean) was very good at checking in on us and accommodating for my allergies. The space was very clean, and we will definitely be back. The traditional Hotteok is a MUST!

Everything was amazing. My husband and I ate everything, even though we probably shouldn’t have… there was hardly any wait on the food either. In and out of the restaurant in less than an hour.

Amazing place for Korean food. I would say that all of the dishes we tried were very flavorful and authentic tasting. The pork belly had a smoky flavor, and the seafood pancake (had egg which was different) was chewy and umami. The tuna kimbap was so jam packed with veggies and tuna! I would say that the nutella hoddeok was also incredibly soft and sweet, but I think they ferment the dough themselves, and I could taste some alcohol in it. I would say for those that are a bit sensitive to the bitter taste of alcohol to pick a different dessert to try!

My new favorite hidden gem! The staffs were super sweet and welcoming. I left my keys on the table and the server ran out to give them back right away!!! We ordered Gangjung Original, Jeon Kimchi, Pork Belly Kimbap, Braised Short Rib, and Champagne Kimchi. Everything was so good and definitely more than enough to feed a group of 5. Desserts were a hit too. We tried their Hotteok & Ice Cream and Nutella Hotteok (so delicious, highly recommend if you have a sweet tooth). Super nice, chill vibes with amazing food and service. Can't wait to come back!

Short ribs were amazing... we'll be back to try more, but dinner was fantastic It's a small place, you'll def enjoy the menu

The restaurant has very limited seating so I'd recommend doing an earlier meal time and/or do a reservation if it's available. Many people were turned away since they were booked for the rest of the night. Parking is pretty easy since it is in a shopping complex. Staff is very friendly and will recommend dishes if you're curious. We tried their champagne kimchi which was different - light, served chilled, nice presentation, not overly fermented. We ordered many dishes to share family style but wasn't prepared for the main entrees to come out with the full Banchan tray so we had to take to go. Everything we ate was delicious and there wasn't much of a wait from ordering until service. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely come back!

We're pretty excited to have BaekGa in our neighborhood! It's a cozy korean food spot with an unexpectedly elevated ambiance. When looking at the menu, you might think It could be considered a bit pricey, but everything is plenty of food for sharing, particularly the mains which are definitely made for at least two people. Between the ban chan and some of the extras, we still had food left. The bulgogi and the galbi were nice and tender and flavorful. The sundubu stew was equally full of flavor. The pancakes are huge! You could definitely fill up on those before your main meal ever makes it out. We enjoyed everything we had, except maybe the champagne kimchi, as there was really just not much depth of flavor there, which is a bit disappointing because they consider it a signature dish. We'll be back though to work our way through the menu!

My friend and I came here hungry and got the scallion pancake and the braised short rib. That was a lot of food. We tried everything and it really hit the spot especially on a cold night. I definitely recommend coming for a date or to catch up with a friend. Service was pretty friendly and quick. I am definitely coming back!

I catered a large amount of Baekga Korean Kitchen Gangjung, crispy fried chicken bites in a delicious sauce, to be served at a happy hour group. Everyone loved it, and there was not a morsel left. This was so much easier than preparing something on a 100-degree day! Thanks, Patrick, for the fast service! This wonderful restaurant is located in the Lowry Town Center, which has the best parking in front and in back in Denver!!! I served the pieces of Gangjung in small to-go containers with mini bamboo tongs. Adorable!

Amazing experience at BaekGa. We started with the champagne kimchi, the dumplings, and the chewy rice cakes. All were delicious! We then ordered the LA Galbi, the Sundubu stew, the beef bulgogi and the Kimbap crispy shrimp. The nut pancake dessert with ice cream is a slight. Wow! This has been a memorable and delicious experience.

What a lovely restaurant! This spot has been on my list for years and I cant believe I waited so long to try it. Upon walking in through the door, we were warmly greeted by the host. As someone who is not too familiar with South Korean food, we were so excited to try a bit of everything. The banchan plate was so fun to try, as a fan of kimchi and all pickled things, every bite was heaven. I could eat this food everyday and be so happy, especially the spring onion/seafood pancake. The pancake batter itself was subtly sweet and it was so satisfyingly crispy. It did not feel too oily or heavy either, the sauce served with it was very light which added a nice constrast. Due to the increase in egg prices all around, our waiter kindly let us know that they would have to upcharge our order of the veggie kimbap. It was worth the extra dollar or so and we really appreciated the clear communication of the staff. The restaurant filled up fast, but there is ample parking around this area, and it is very walkable as well. Can't wait to come back and try out some other dishes.

One of my favorite new spots in Denver! Just the sweetest owners with super friendly service -- and fantastic Korean flavors! Perfect for a lunch rice bowl or soup -- or a dinner feast. We loved everything! And so many other things I wish we could have tried! - Mandoo (fried pork dumplings) are superb, with just enough crispiness and the perfect dipping sauce - Tteoboki (rice cakes) were actually a much bigger dish than we expected -- a large soup bowl full of stuff! - Pork Belly Kimbap (rolls) were basically like enormous sushi rolls stuffed with meat - Sundubu Stew (spicy tofu soup with beef and veggies) would make me come back just for this! Would love to try the other stews, too, like Galbi Tang and Mandoo Soup. - Braised Short Rib (big plate) with all the yummy banchan (mini side) trays. - WOW, THE NUTELLA STUFFED PANCAKE DESSERT WITH BANANAS A LA "BANANAS FOSTER"! Incredible. And really can't go wrong with any of the bowls, like beef bulgogi, (chicken thigh) dak-galbi, jeyuk (spicy marinated pork), pork belly, LA galbi (my favorite beef short ribs), and more.

Right off the bat, this spot is nicely designed on the inside. It was pretty empty around 6pm on a Sunday and we were seated right away. The service was okay -- not as attentive esp only being one of two parties dining. Food -- Bulgogi Kimbap 5/5 -- the rolls are as big as your face lol it was overall well made and I appreciated everything in the roll. Mandoo Soul 5/5 -- the mandoo were big! The rice cakes were a little mushier but over all, the egg, onion, and seaweed were perfectly balanced with the soup. Pork Belly and LA Galbi rice bowl 5/5 -- season well and generous with the meat! Unlimited side dishes -- kimchi, cucumber, and some type of squash. I wouldn't mind coming back if I was in deep craving for Korean. This spot ranges from $15-60 to apps and entrees. I would prefer going to a more homey mom and pop shop before coming here. This place is more higher end.

I was excited to check out a new Korean restaurant that wasn't in the typical Havana St area where most of them are located. Looking at their menu, it looked like I was going to try some genuine Korean dishes. Overall, the food is mediocre. Definitely not bad but nothing to write home about either. The kimchi jjigae (kimchi soup) had too much pepper flakes, not enough salt, and not enough kimchi/meat. The spicy pork was decent but needed a little more flavor. The side dishes tasted similar to what you get premade at H Mart. The prices are much too high for what is offered especially for the lunch menu. $23-$28 for a single item lunch special with minimal and small side dishes? On top of that, they charge $5/bucket of lettuce wrap, $1-$2 per side dish for refill, and $3 for rice? That is crazy. Overall, I would highly recommend going to other Korean places near Havana St even if you have to drive.

2nd day dining in Colorado Aurora area and wanted some comforting Korean food. Based on reviews and photos decided to give it a try. Ambiance: music playing in background with some light jazzy piano. Not too loud but just enough to have a conversation. Modern decor and aesthetically pleasing. Feels like a good place to take a date. Booths were comfortable and separated with a low booth back for privacy. Lights with Edison Style bulbs Service: Was effective and friendly. Not overly attentive nor lacking of attention. When I dined here there were about half full capacity. Food: What I ordered - Crispy Shrimp Kimbap (Korean rolls) big rolls. Enough to share or as a meal. Good balanced flavors. Not traditional by any means. Two biters Spring Onion Jeon (Pancake) lots of green onions and crispy edges. Only thing I would do differently is heat it more and crisp the middle. Summary: For the portion size, food quality, and dining ambiance, price was about right. If you're craving Korean Foods (some street food), and you want to try something different with friends or a date, I would recommend BaekGa.

How aren't there more reviews on this place!? Came on a Saturday and got the lunch specials. I got bugogi and my man got the marinade pork. Tbh his tasted better (had way more flavor) but the bulgogi was also very good. The meat comes with A LOT of onions and a lunch size amount of meat. It is still very fulfilling with all the sides you get (including rice). Everything was delicious, I love trying new banchan. The inside is very chill and relaxing. They also grow their own herbs which you can see as you walk in.

Exceptional experience. It is like eating elevated Korean food. Numerous friends and family agree that this is the best Korean restaurant we have eaten at.

Note that I got delivery and didn't dine in so this review may not be reflective of the dine in experience. I ordered the pork belly kimbap and it was delicious! The flavors were great. The seaweed and rice was a little soggy, but again, I got delivery so I'm sure that played a factor. It was very nicely packaged!

What a delightful experience on Christmas Eve! They weren't overly busy and everything came out quick. The waitstaff was incredibly kind and attentive. They even had speciality plates, silverware, and cups for our little. The food was delicious and they had massive portions. We'll definitely been back!

Smallish moden styled room with pleasant acoustics. Excellent server happy to suggest dishes when we both felt a cold coming on. Tried the Mandoo Soup and the Sundubu Stew with complimentary pickled veg sides, rice and corn silk tea (very soothing). We enjoyed it all and felt measurably better from the hot liquids. We'll be back. Can't wait to try other dishes.

I didn't expect much of the Asian food scene in Denver, but BaekGa completely took me by surprise. The modernized decor misleads you to believe that this might be another fusion restaurant trying to spin their unique take on Korean food. Among the many traditional Korean dishes listed on their menu, I immediately spotted the Galbijjim. The Spicy Beef Rib Stew that continues to elude the Houston Korean food scene has made an appearance in Denver. My skepticism was on high alert until the waiter finally brings out this HUGE pot of Beef Ribs in big chunks, stacked like a mountain with potatoes, rice cakes, carrots, and glass noodles. The meat was extremely tender, and flavor was pretty authentic. Yet my only complaint was that it wasn't spicy. Even though I don't really eat spicy, I felt like this dish was incomplete without the spiciness. And of course anytime KBBQ is available, I go for the LA Galbi as a base guideline on how it compares to other Korean restaurants I've eaten at. And BaekGa's galbi did not disappoint. Sauce was perfectly balanced between savory and sweet, highlighted by a strong char flavor. BaekGa is definitely worth a revisit for my next ski trip in Denver. #338

The food was very delicious. I normally go for the spicy dishes but I thought I would change it up this time. I'm glad I did. The meat was nice and tender and just the right amount of sauce. The kimchi was amazing. So good we ordered some to go. As far as the wings went. I highly recommend getting them as well. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive. The restaurant was nice and clean with a nice atmosphere. I will definitely be back when I am in this part of town.

We stumbled on this new place at Lowry Town Center that replaced Qdoba. What a change! Ambience is fine dining, beautiful and quiet. The Korean menu is spectacular. Service was friendly and quick, and the dishes! Kimchi pancake, bulgogi, grilled chicken bowl, gimbap to go: Wonderful. Somehow the leftovers tasted even better the next day. We are so fortunate to have a new great dining option at Lowry.

It's so good you want to keep it all to yourself; that really deserves some recognition. BaekGa serves real Korean food with authentic banchan. Bulgogi there is the best I've ever had, and galbi jjim was great too. The soup was wonderfully balanced, and gimbap was delicious and generously portioned. On top of that, the service was superb, and the ambiance was cozy. I will definitely be back!

This restaurant is located in a cute little downtown area. Kind of hard to find parking in the main area. Restaurant has lots of seating but is quite tight. We got sat at a booth under a vent so it kept going from hot to cold. I kept putting my jacket on and taking it off throughout the meal which was uncomfortable. The main bulgogi dish came with two bowls of rice and all of the little appetizer dishes. I'm not usually a fan of pickled veggies so I thought the apps were ok but the bulgogi was very tasty. It looked different from the pictures online- it had more onions than meat in it. But the little meat there was, was tasty. The Dak-Galbhi was recommended to us as the second most popular dish by the waitress. It was a spicy chicken with rice dish. I thought it was meh. Not much flavor once you bite into it. Total was about $90 with tip and tax for 3 people. We were all full. But my taste buds were not fully satisfied. It was okay.

I ordered their pork belly and bean sprout rice dish to go and it was the perfect combo of salty and spicy. In today's times, I didn't expect the portion size to be so big but I was able to get 2 meals out of my take out order! I need to go sit down at their restaurant to truly experience their restaurant especially since they killed it with just their take out!

Really beautiful interior. The food was mostly really great. The menu has many very common Korean dishes, but also some I haven't seen at other Denver Korean restaurants, so that was a definite plus! We got kim chi pancakes, Jaeyuk (spicy stir-fried pork and vegetables), cinnamon punch, rice punch, and hotteok. The kim chi pancakes weren't great. In our opinion - too much pancake, not enough of kim chi. Kim chi pancakes are one of my favorite dishes so this was really disappointing! We actually started The spicy stir fried pork was delicious. I have a pretty low heat tolerance and this was ok for me even though it's marked as spicy on the menu! I'd put it at 3/10 spicy. The cinnamon punch and rice punch were great! The hotteok was amazing. To be fair, I haven't had hotteok before so maybe it's always amazing, but the flaky layers were so good!!! Overall it was very good, but not in the category of my absolute favorite korean restaurants in Denver.

I stumbled upon this place during my lunch break. I was impressed by how elegant the place is. The service was phenomenal and food was incredible! I got the pork belly bowl which was soo flavorful. I really loved the texture of it. The kimbap roll was massive the photo does not do justice. It is big enough as an entree on its own. And the kimchi fried rice was delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more food. Very authentic place!

The restaurant is meticulously clean and very modern. Great feel - Service is outstanding with the owner giving guidance. The food was so good. So flavorful and priced reasonably.

Great place for a lunch when you are craving Korean food! Me and my friend were dreaming about pork belly after a Sunday hike and stop by at this place and found exactly what we were craving for! Great service, delicious food, very minimalist interior which I love at the restaurants! We also got tuna kimbap - loved it.

I have been wanting to try BaekGa for some time and it did not disappoint. I had the japchae with the bulgogi (the beef was extra but definitely worth it). Everything was delicious, tons of flavor, and the beef was nice and tender. The service was very friendly and the dining room was quite elegant.

Horrible wait times. Understaffed. Don't know why has good reviews. Food was just ok. Wouldn't come here if your in a rush or hungry

Great ambience, tasty bites and pleasant service at this lil Korean hotspot. We really loved the rice cake, and kimchi pancake Thanks

I came here with my dad, we normally drive over to Aurora for Korean food but we wanted to try something different. The food was absolutely amazing I normally go for noodles or something spicy but today I wanted to try something different so I got their Pork Belly Rice bowl and I absolutely loved it. We also got the Korean chicken wings and I was pleasantly surprised it was super crispy and fully of flavor. The kimchi and the bean sprouts were my absolute favorite side dishes I even took some home. The service everyone there was very friendly and attentive and kept our side dishes full. The restaurant was very clean and very nice looking. I will definitely recommend coming here if your looking for some amazing Korean food

This place is a gem and I dream of eating the Galbitang daily. Exceptional food, banchan, menu, especially the galbitang!! Simply authentic and the kimchi is exceptional. Let's keep this place going for a very long time! Service and ambiance is legit also.

I loved the grilled spicy pork! I was impressed by the quality of the meat and portion size. The pork belly is mixed with some veggies and on top of a bed of rice. The meat to rice ratio was perfect. My friend enjoyed the kimbap as well! This restaurant is a part of the mile high food club, and was my first time experiencing this type of "ghost kitchen." There are so many places to choose from and service is fairly fast (10-15 minutes). There weren't too many people here for a Sunday lunch, and there are cool shady picnic tables to eat outside.

Our whole experience was wonderful. The owner is so helpful and friendly, and all of the staff are very kind. There were 3 of us there for dinner, and we got the following to split: spring onion jeon, ttoekboki, bulgogi kimbap, pork belly kimbap, and LA Galbi main dish. We all ate until we were full, and we all took small portions of each dish home. We absolutely recommend going here, and trying as many different things as you can!

Great service as soon as you walk in. Food was so good. We tried the pork belly. Ambiance was nice and restaurant was super clean.

Dishes are already way overpriced and charging $1 for banchan refill?! This is awful for any business especially korean establishment, shame on you.

Amazing delicious meal! We enjoyed Bekban-Dak-Galbi Mando, Ganjung Soy Glaze! I would highly recommend! The owner is very helpful.

i was craving korean food and decided to venture out of Aurora and try this spot. It was absolutely amazing from top to bottom! the atmosphere was wonderful for a date night, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. Our waiter was so attentive and kind. We will definitely be back and have recommended this place to many of our friends! Of note: we got the japchae, the cold noodle, bulgolgi, and mandoo soup. all incredible but the cold noodle is a MUST.

Lovely restaurant in Lowry Town Center. This place is a gem. Delicious Korean food, great ambiance and friendly staff. We were very happy. It wasn't too expensive. We spent $75 total (b4 tip) for 3 of us, and came home with plenty of leftovers. Definitely worth checking out.

Absolutely delicious! Friendly informative service, huge portions, affordable, nice atmosphere. When they say you can share between 2 people (especially if you're gonna order a few things), they mean it. I look forward to coming back to this neighborhood spot :)

Super generous lunch dishes that come stacked with banchan and sides. Wonderful service and logical prices. Go, now!

The man who served us (I'm guessing he's the owner?) could have earned this 5-star review on his service alone, but Baekga matched that exceptional service with equally outstanding food. From the moment we walked in, we felt immediately welcome with every staff member greeting us individually with a warm and genuine demeanor. After a few minutes of exploring the menu, the server/owner(?) asked if it was our first time and offered some recommendations. For context, we had already made some decisions at this point but we said yes. He did so in such a non-pushy yet confident/charismatic way that within 30 seconds, he was able to build enough customer trust that we decided to go with this suggestion. I still remember exactly what he said about the dish to make us try it, but I'll let him give you his schpiel when you try this place out! What we ordered: - Spring Onion Pancake (Jeon): Lived up to the great recommendation and was perfectly prepared. - Bulgogi Main Dish: Comes with side dishes and is enough food for 2 people. Well seasoned, flavorful taste. While I could have done with a lower ratio of onions to meat, the overall dish was fantastic. The lettuce it came with was incredibly fresh and enjoyable to eat, and the abundance of banchan provided a variety of hot and cold items to try. We left sufficiently full and nourished, thanks to the high-quality food and generous portion sizes. We even remarked how we usually like to treat ourselves to a fun meal to end a long week but often end up disappointed--this was not the case here. Even if it's a slightly far drive for us, I can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu. I'm not typically one to write reviews, but I have never felt more compelled to write a 5 star review. The server/owner(?) deeply understands entrepreneurship, loves the food they make, and knows how to give customers a first experience they'll remember!

This is probably our favorite spot in Denver. Our second time here and we'll be back again soon! Plenty of vegetarian options, great portion sizes, and super friendly staff. We highly recommend the Dak Galbi, kimchi jeon, and persimmon and cinnamon drink. Everything is so delicious and we wish we lived closer so we could come more often!

Had the pleasure of trying BaekGa while visiting Denver and I'll be thinking about it for a long time! Huge portions and everything's good! Staff was so sweet too, geonbae!

Excellent service and very good food! Everything we ordered is delicious! If you into Korean cuisine this the place! Very spacious and clean! Plenty of parking in the back parking lot is a plus!

Amazing food! Forgot to snap of picture of everything but the Crispy Shrimp Kimbap was amazing - HUGE, so fresh, and perfect balance of flavors. Also highly recommend the Spring Onion Pancake - perfectly crisp and addicting. The Hotteok was also a must - one of the few places I've had that makes it just like we had in Korea. The restaurant has a great vibe, great interior decor, and really friendly service!

What a special place. Great service, nice atmosphere, and, most importantly, delicious food. Make sure to try their dessert teas.

Great food and great service. Really nice and clean environment too. They make everything fresh. We are definitely coming back soon!
