DAE GEE KOREAN BBQ

As someone who has lived in Korea, I was thoroughly impressed by Dae Gee Korean BBQ in Denver. The menu is excellent—well-rounded with a great selection of traditional Korean dishes that truly capture the authentic flavors of Korea. The quality of the food was outstanding, and the meal felt genuinely traditional, from the banchan to the perfectly marinated meats. It brought back fond memories of my time in Korea. I highly recommend Dae Gee to anyone who enjoys Korean cuisine or wants to experience it for the first time. This place is the real deal

I was really craving some Korean bbq when we were visiting Denver and saw that this place was fairly close by to our Airbnb. There is a parking lot available, so you should have no problem finding a spot. When my boyfriend and I walked in, we noticed we were the ONLY ones there on a Monday night. Albeit, it was about 6 pm, we kinda thought maybe some other people would roll around later on; but nope, we were literally the only ones there the entire time. Luckily, we were greeted quickly and sat down. We had already decided to get the AYCE, so it was about $38 each person. The way they do AYCE was a little odd to me though. You don't really choose which meats you get, they kinda just give it to you all at once. Additionally, keep in mind that the galbee is only given ONCE. That was a bummer for me cause that's my favorite dish to get at Korean bbq. Anyway, the meat itself was okay, not really seasoned, and the only sauces they give you are the bbq sauces they have. They don't have ponzu, soy, etc. for other options. It was a bit odd to me, but I'm not sure if it's cause I'm used to being served differently in Houston? The sides, I hate to say, were probs the best part about this place. The cucumbers were tasty and crunchy, and the mashed potato was good too. I guess I should start cherishing the Korean bbq spots at home more often cause this place was unfortunately not it ;(

They had a lot of new sides this time. Everything was delicious as usual. One of our favorite spots to go

I went here with a group of friends, 2 others which were eastern Asian (this is relevant). We came here after day in the mountains, were starving, and didn’t even have lunch. We left acknowledging that this was the worst korean bbq we ever had. I’ve had kbbq in Chicago, DC, and in the middle of nowhere California. There were a number of red flags. First, the bbq sauce was in bottles instead of served in different sauce containers. We were also given all the meat at the same time instead of requesting specific ones. They had pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp. The variety was much less than Iron Age, another chain. When we would ask for more meat, they would give a tiny plate back. We were 5 guys and had to keep asking for more. Once we actually cooked the food, it was the most average taste you can think of. Nothing bad but nothing special. My conclusion, if you are Asian and are looking for good kbbq. This is not the place for you. Otherwise, you’re paying for a $38 buffet.

Dae Gee Korean BBQ provided an exceptional dining experience for our impromptu gathering of 8 friends. Despite the unplanned nature of our visit, the accommodating staff seamlessly arranged our seating and ensured a smooth dining experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff members enhancing our overall enjoyment. We ventured into the realm of Korean drinks, adding an extra layer of cultural immersion to our evening. Opting for the all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ was an excellent decision – the quality of the meat and variety of options left us thoroughly satisfied. The joy of cooking our food at the table not only added an interactive element to the meal but also created lasting memories among friends. The restaurant's cleanliness and convenient location, along with available parking in their lot, further contributed to our positive experience. Being in close proximity to our accommodation added to the overall convenience of the evening. In essence, Dae Gee Korean BBQ surpassed our expectations, turning an impromptu dinner into a delightful culinary adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment for anyone seeking a combination of excellent service, delectable cuisine, and a memorable communal dining experience.

As someone who grew up in a heavily Korean area, this was some of the best K-BBQ I've ever had. Everything was fresh and the service was incredible (they even replaced our grill mid-meal). Is it a little expensive? Yeah, but you get what you pay for.

Do not try the Asian fried chicken. Very slimy inside... not good. The broth from a couple dishes were tasty but overall the food does not stand up. If you want a soft drink, be prepared to pop open a can and drink directly from the can. Yes, that's what I paid $90 for.

Honestly very disappointed this time and reminded me why I stopped coming here years ago. This is the first time I’ve ever been asked if we wanted them to cook our meats in the back so I was a little confused but we figured he didn’t want to wash the grill so we let them cook our meats. We ordered the galbee and jumuluk which are always my favorite. They came out very overcooked and tough. Everyone else around us got their side dishes right away and I had to ask for ours and he didn’t seem happy to bring them out. He gave us one sauce dish for 3 of us and we had to ask for 2 more and lettuce from a nice lady. They also skimp on their side dishes here. On top of that they’re not very clean here as you can feel from the plates and bowls.

Best Korean bbq for the price in Denver. And yes it's all you can eat. But I still have to hand it to Seoul Korean Bbq for the better meat/food. Service is always great when I'm here and it's never been a dull time!

I will start off with saying that the location was great and love the feel of the place. The staff was super sweet and great. Was always helped and attended , was always coming up to check up on us. I have been to plenty of Korean bbq places, so I was looking for that difference factor ... but there wasn't one. Not that many options in meat. The side look sad . I was just not impressed about it .

We went to celebrate a job milestone and were so disappointed by the service and food. The host was very friendly but our waitress was pretty horrible. She had 4 tables (this was a Thursday night) and literally abandoned our table. She wouldn't come take our order and the manager actually ended up taking over on service. We paid for the all you can eat which was not cheap and the food was not good. I've attached a picture of the "garlic edamame"- the artificial garlic paste from a tube made it inedible. The meat cuts were poor and the flavor wasn't all that special. Best part was the s'mores for dessert, put for $140 the experience was just bad.

Tried a new meal at Korean BBQ. Called Bee Beem Bhop. It was very flavorful and the rice cooked while you ate. The stone bowl cooks the rice with egg and butter that you mix in. Makes it crunchy rice. Little heavy for me on the butter tho. But good.

One of my favorite places to eat. I love cooking up the meats and devouring them with my bowl of rice and all the sides. The meats are always marinated well and always fresh. The sides are so good too. The potato salad, the cucumbers, the kimchi... It's all soooo freaking good. Service is always good. If you need help or guidance with the food they will assist more than if you already know what you're doing. Which is perfectly fine, especially since we are frequent quests. The inside is great and always clean. I've never been here and had it be a dirty mess inside. Staff is on top of it all.

This was my first Korean bbq experience and it did not disappoint! I wish the server asked if it was our first time because an assumption was made and there was not much explanation about the process until we asked, but the food was delicious and the all you eat deal can't be beat! It was such a fun experience cooking the meat at the table. They also had regular tables and a bar area available if you don't want to grill at your table. They kept the food coming too upon request. I'm excited to try it again and explore more of the menu.

The food was delicious and the servers are so attentive. Love the traditional condiments that comes with the meal. Only thing I would be concerned about it the tight quarters

I can not say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. It was our first wedding anniversary, and we were driving to Breck and wanted to have something unique for our dinner. We do the super fancy dinner thing often and wanted more of an experience. After doing some research, my husband narrowed it down to Dae Gee, and we decided to make a stop in Denver and eat. This was soooo good. I am not going to lie, I was a tad nervous at first because I am extremely particular when it comes to meat. But this place did not disappoint. Everything was so flavorful and so good. It was also really fun to make things yourself right in front of you. We both took turns and really enjoyed the whole experience. If you are looking for some good fun and a unique, fun experience, this is your place!

Out of all the Dae Gee's I've been too, this is by far the worse. From the moment I parked my car, to the moment I left, my experience sucked. Located on Broadway, there is hardly any parking. I did go here when it just recently snowed. I parked on Broadway so I got out with snow up to my calves. Not that this is Dae Gee's fault, but it does paint a picture of what to expect. The small parking lot next to the restaurant was full, so that wasn't an option. Walking in, I immediately noticed that this is the smallest Dae Gee restaurant. We were fortunate enough to get a table past the front. Or else we would have had to cook with the slower burners that were located at the front. Floors were greasy, so walking will have to be with caution. Service was pretty poor. After we got seated and got our first round of meats, it was hard to get their attention. I didn't get any refills off water, 2nd round of meats we had to wait a while, and they messed up our order. Our second round I didn't get what I asked for. Got pork instead of beef... Meats I would say is pretty consistent with the other Dae Gee's. I will say that the experience wasn't good because they didn't provide additional appetizers on the 2nd round. Other Dae Gee's do. The bottles of sauces were dirty to the touch. Doesn't seem like they aren't cleaned. If you are ever around this part of town and have the " I don't care where we eat" attitude..... Care enough to not come here. You worse experience close by will be better.

You'd think that for the prices this place charges, you'd get something a little special. Nope. The food is mediocre, the staff acts like you're a pain in...... Skip it

The food was good but I came during lunch and they incorrectly charged me after explaining the offer and refused to change the bill. I didn't catch the server's name but this seems like a family restaurant that would have the authority to make this fix. We had the lunch special and paid additional for an add on to then find out when you do the add ons, you do not get the lunch special price, AFTER she offered the lunch special price with the add on. She said that it was a computer issue and it was out of her hands. I'm beyond disappointed.

First of all, we were 4 people and when I asked the server for some extra sides, they said we are not allowed regardless of ordering 3 main entrees. We were charged for even rice and talking about the thickness of the meat, I felt like I was chewing a gum. It was so thin. If you want to save money, don't go here. Nothing bad to say to them but I think as a customer we are given this right to let them know how they are doing. No wonder why we were the only customers during peak dinner time.Definitely never going again.

Even though this is a chain place, food was decent. Great price for an all in table top cooked BBQ feast. Flavors were tasty, sides were ok. Could have been better. Drinks - Hot Saki and cold Juju were tasty. Service was ok, they kept forgetting a lot of what we ordered, especially drinks. It eventually they came around. For the price point to eat here and tasty what we had, I will be back.

Cant go wrong with all you can eat KBBQ. cook faster and eat more. It'll be worth it!

When I originally came to DAE Gee's back in 2014 I was blown away. Now this was my first Korean BBQ experience (granted) but with a new recent visit and more expressive with the cuisine there are better options. These places are all about the service (expectations of raw meat being graded as such should make the meat quality the same for anything served raw no matter the location or price) so Korean BBQs win me over with server attentiveness and a very full belly (at a reasonable price). I appreciate they do the lunch special on weekdays but maybe something on Sunday as well since most of us work through the week. All in all service was better originally and expectations were lower.

This place is so rad! It's a modern little Korean BBQ restaurant with the fun and authentic experience of grilling your own foods right at the table with your friends. This was our very first time trying KBBQ and we absolutely loved it, the friendly and knowledgeable staff helped us pick out a combination of grilling items and sides that was right for us and gave us a helpful tutorial on the different styles of sauces they had available. The staff even helped us pick out a soju that would be to our liking and taught us how to do shots the Korean way, so fun, truly. The meats were tender and so delicious but my favorite part was the sides! I'm a huge fan of vegetables and their pickle radish was soooo yummy. The thing I loved most about the meal was something I wasn't expecting at all... the Korean style potato salad! It was creamy, a bit sweet and hands-down the best potato salad I've had in my life. I don't live in Denver, so I dream about this meal frequently. Bonus info: the sides are bottomless, want more of something, just ask! You can have as much creamy delicious Korean potato salad as your tummy can handle. :)

Great service and amazing Korran BBQ. So many flavors to entertain your taste buds. The gook soup is a great l appetizer.

Don't understand why this place doesn't get more love. Service is always good, bottomless condiments and excellent food. My favorite winter dish is vegetarian hot tofu soup. Love it.

I had a great lunch here. Wontons, soup and all the sides. I was surprised how good everything was. I am not a big Korean bbq person but love wontons and noodle soups. Had great customer service which wasn't surprising because I was literally the only person in there.

If you're looking for sub-par meat and flavor, look no further, this is the place. Such a miss on even the basic meats like Bulgogi and super low quality brisket. Most of the meat didn't even come separated it was frozen together like a lego brick. Not sure if there are better options in Denver, but I'd skip even if you are craving kbbq. For those who have been around good kbbq, go for anything else here. Sides were ok, nothing to write home about. I left hungry and we did ayce. Service was mediocre at best. This is likely a case of owner absentee run biz where nobody gaf about quality.

Beef stone pot was good and came with multiple sides. Favorite was the cold mash potatoes! Party Up cupcake with the lemon condensed milk filling was good even after sitting in a box for a day when I brought it home. Friendly service and clean environment.

Fine food, however while the menu and website do appear to have options for gluten free or dairy free options it is beyond limited. No sauces or marinades, your gf options for the $40 unlimited dinner is 2 unseasoned meats, 2 sides, and no sauces. A let down overall

I went to high school in Seoul South Korea so this place feels like "home". Great for lunch time. Friendly staff. Quick Service!

Service was fantastic. Food was very good for my first time and not knowing what to order. Grilling our food was so fun and delicious.

Great service and meat quality was good too! They do not have rice or radish paper! Apple soju delicious! Highly recommend if your visiting Denver.

Grilled Mackerel Yep, I'm all about that Grilled Mackerel. That's what I call fishy goodness right there. I ate that entire thing like it was my last meal. Delicious!! I like the vibe of this fast casual restaurant, too. It's hip and sophisticated. You feel cool just being here. Enjoy!!

Ordered hot pot and hubs ordered non hot pot dish of Sogogi Bulgogi (Rib-Eye Beef). We got dumplings for our little. Just not good. There's gotta be better choices for Korean bbq in Colorado. - Barely any meat for each of us for over $50 - Dirty, nasty floors, could feel the dirty particles on the floor with my shoes and saw mop strings. - Non attentive waiter. Ok to be fair the Stanley cup game was on but come on! The tv is right there next to our table he could have still just checked in. Instead: Nothing I usually check reviews before going somewhere but went against better judgement since we were starving and it was across the way from the costume store we were exploring. The extra star was for the dumplings my little seemed to like.

Its pretty good, but kinda pricy. They make it a little pricy because you get one order of the omg-so-delish Galbi with all-you-can-eat. Other than that, the chicken was pretty good, as were the sides. The service was pretty quick. One round of all the meats available in the all-you-can-eat option was def enough to fill the five of us up. Parking situation: on-site

Disappointed. I had read and heard so much about this restaurant. It's dirty and grossly overpriced mediocre food. Spent $30 on their shaved rib eye dinner. It just wasn't very good quality. Sides were good, told they were unlimited. Never saw the waitree to receive a refill. At least the bartender refilled my soda. I love Korean BBQ and was really excited to try this particular restaurant. Never again.

Love this place. The meats are great and I love the unlimited sides that you get with the AYCE. The quality is really good. They have an amazing spicy sauce that we put on all of our meats. The service has been good every time we've been there. It can get busy quickly since they've blocked off certain tables to keep people distanced. Definitely worth trying if you like Korean bbq.

Stopped by for a bite to eat on a Monday night. I had the dumplings and bulgogi rib-eye. This was very mediocre Korean food. My rib-eye tasted soggy and I had to ask for a rice refill multiple times. I've had authentic Korean food before so maybe I am being too hard on Dae Gee, but I likely won't come here again. I was looking at the other reviews about service and to be honest I thought service was really good. I got my drinks refilled and my food in a decent amount of time. I really appreciated the service from the people who work here.

What a solid ayce kbbq spot! Good quality meat, friendly and attentive staff, and a fun hangout spot when you want to just eat and drink to your heart's desire! Just a few things to note- they don't offer steamed egg, pickled radish slices, or rice paper :(

During the COVID-19 outbreak it's hard to find good take out. I've tried probably over 10+ restaurants up to now and none of them have tasted as good as Dae Gee. This location is right in my neighborhood so it's easy to access and even when they are open for restaurant business they are usually not too busy in off hours. I love the bi bim bamp and even to go this was still amazing and hit the spot!!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Denver metro area. The Broadway location and the Arvada location in particular are incredible. I used to go to the Arvada location once every other week and then the Broadway location similarly when I lived near there. The Colorado Blvd location doesn't have the same quality unfortunately. The service at Colorado Blvd is significantly slower, you can be the only person in the restaurant with an empty water and no one comes by. The service at Broadway and Arvada location is miles better. Food is incredible everywhere. Great value in the multiple sides. The BBQ is great, the Bibimbap however is the best in the city my opinion. The Galbee ribs are incredible but since they've raised the price for the lunch portion it gets in the awkward too small of a portion for an entree, too expensive for an appetizer. Only other critiques are that in house you have sauces on the tables with free access, if you order Togo, they have no small portion options. 50 cents or a $1 for a 1 ounce Togo ramekin would be reasonable but the only option is around $6 per sauce for the ones that are free on the table. I one made the mistake of asking for small sides of the sauces and they adjusted my tab by an additional $18 without asking me. It makes me less likely to order take out versus coming in and taking a table but it isn't a deal breaker. Unfortunately the Colorado Boulevard location still hasn't updated their Uber eats to even give you the option to order the bibimbap so even when I do deliver it, I use the Broadway location even though it's further away. Anyway, the food is incredible and with the additional sides it is a great value. It is not without kinks and the management of the Colorado Boulevard location is significantly lacking compared to the Broadway and Arvada locations but I still think it's worth 5 stars. Best Korean restaurant in Denver in my opinion and well worth checking out!

Frozen meats, first round is preordered and you cant change anything. Service is awful, barely any banchan. Was hoping being out of town, id enjoy my kbbq but this spot was awful. Very boring inside, plays terrible music and the tables are way too close together.

NEVER EVER AGAIN please if you looking for the KOREAN BBQ please skip this place the food was ok but the service is so so so bad I came very hungry with but the staff was so slow and not take care of the customers I have to wait about 10 minutes to order my second orders and i call them and she's just staring at me like what?!!‍ and after we order and we been waiting for the meat it's still take so long and we cannot handle no more me and my bf was very upset And we just tell them to bring the check they not deserve my tip that they charge us and when we about to leave they keep staring at us no thank you no nothing please do not come this pleas

I really wanted KBBQ and so glad I stopped here. It was a Saturday night, so yes it was busy. We were greeted right away. We had to wait about 35 minutes before we could get a table. The lady, not sure if she was the owner or the manager was very very nice. She brought us soju while we waited for a grill to be come available. The service was great, they were very generous with the side dishes and the meats. The marinade on the meats were perfect. Everything tasted great. I highly recommend.

Okay Dae Gee on 460 Broadway....came for lunch, after we were seated and ordered, we got our food. Was told they don't do unlimited side dishes for lunch anymore which is the epitome of Korean food. The side dishes that were brought out is barley enough for one person let alone two; enough for one bite for each person. Your motto and restaurant name Pig Out is no longer relevant. Won't be coming back....ever even for dinner. "Satisfy my cravings" my ass..... #pigout #daegee

Dae Gee is the closest korean restaurant near the downtown area other than Ssam Korean BBQ. I ordered the dolsot bibimbap which came with a full set of fresh banchan and free refills. The dish was steaming and extra hot when served. The egg was raw, but quickly cooked as soon as I mixed the ingredients together. It would have been nice if a bowl of soup came with it. The service was quick and attentive. Note Dae Gae's bibimbap beats Ssam's bibimbap that is $5 more in price and served with limited banchan.

When it comes to kbbq, this location(and possibly chain name) is the worst. Came for unlimited food but was given LIMITED service and food. Place was also filled with flying flies and dust covered air vents hanging of fly traps (these vents are also on, blowing DIRTY AIR). The question of thought came up as to how old the place was because it looked filthy (i.e. sauce on walls, leaking roof stains) We had a party of four but was served sides for ONE BITE. I will personally not recommend this place to any one. Our server DID NOT want to be there and neither did we. There is nothing worse than bad service and a restaurant chain that thinks they are the best because of publicity.

All you can eat is worth it if you have the appetite. The spare rib was my favorite but unfortunately it's the only meat you can't keep reordering. The spicy pork was good and I think it was the other pork I liked too. We waited an hour for a table on a Saturday night so it's definitely busy for dinner. The sides are great too, fish cakes and pickled cucumbers bring my favorite to reorder. Those are all unlimited. It's funny they added potato salad, I imagine that isn't usually on a KBBQ menu. The overall experience was great, staff was attentive and friendly. For $24, The unlimited bbq is worth it!

Never order for delivery! Stews had no ingredients that are sometimes good in the restaurant. Never consistent in or out of restaurant. The rice amount had 4 bites. I was very surprised. Having lived in S. Korea and will not eat here again. Going to more traditional places in Aurora.... Very disappointed.

This isn't your typical AYCE Korean BBQ. They only have 5 types of meat to choose from. They usually just bring out a whole plate of all 5 items at once unless you requested something differently. During your first round, you are able to get the short ribs which is delicious. They give you two of them. For the other meats, I definitely think it could use a little more flavor especially the chicken. The spicy pork is extremely spicy. If you are coming from out of state (like California), you might be disappointed. Their sides were typical of a Korean BBQ place but very small. I think they only gave like 5 pieces of radish lol and 4 pieces of fish tofu. The mash potatoes were very mushy. Also, at this location, there are only 5 tables with grills but they do offer to cook the meat for you due to the limited grills. Overall, the service was okay. At first, the waiter just kind of threw the menus on the tables and walked away to another table. It was very confusing because we weren't even close to that table yet before she walked away. As the night went on, the service got better.

It was a lovely time! Our table of 6 all opted for the AYCE meal option and there was plenty of meats and side dishes to go around for the 2 hour window we were there. The short ribs were my favorite! Our server did an amazing job (checking in on us every few minutes, refilling our drinks, making sure the food is to our liking) All in all, I recommend this place if you're in the area and want to try some KBBQ.

Man, what a sad disappointment. I can see why my fellow Koreans don't come here to eat but as I'm new in town i thought I'd give it a try. Side dishes were so lacking in taste, INCLUDING the kimchi. I don't like their use of these sugar-filled sauces since that's not what a Korean would eat their barbecue with. Im a purist so I like my meat with just simply sesame oil and ssamjang. We had to ask for that after we realized they won't just bring it out. Also did you see the meat??? I thought it would be hard to f-up meat...i was THOROUGHLY mistaken. The marinated meats were WAY too sweet... definitely catering to the American taste if you ask me. Also the brisket were cut but solid frozen together which pissed me off since that's very delicate cut that needs to me layed out one by one. Not 8 at a time. And the pork belly had so much fat on in that there was hardly any meat on it. Not coming back. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was that the kimchi jiigae was actually well made. Very flavorful and deep. Sadly, I will not be coming back.

#PLANTBASEDDEIT I have visited this restaurant twice. The tofu soup (soo dooboo cheegae) is so delicious. The bee beem bhop vegitable without the egg was also very good. Service is good. The only negative if you cannot sit at the cooking tables if the whole table doesn't order unlimited meat. Because I don't eat meat products the whole table had to move.

They have a parking lot, the staff was nice although not the most helpful. You know someone who smiles and does what people ask of them but doesn't actually initiate doing anything themselves, yeah. The meal I had here was fairly uncomfortable physically because we never received a water refill and the bibimbap was so dry and devoid of flavor. I was too focused on trying to make it taste decent I forgot to ask for water. It would be better if this was more like a real Korean restaurant with plastic carafes of water on every table and a button guests can just press to alert when they need something. The seafood pancake and banchan were good and tasted right with traditional Korean flavors. The octopus inside was tender and not very chewy. I'd come back to try all you can BBQ only perhaps. Living in Denver it's so easy to get or make authentic Korean food from H Mart.

Food quality was okay. Maybe it's reference but i don't like the bulgogi sauce that much. Not as many options for meats either. I am from Dallas, TX, so my standard might be higher for this place. As for service, it was okay. They were kinda slow. The servers would give you very little food for everything on the first round, then you would ask for more of the ones you like. I came because i saw that they were on Feature food tv show back in 2015. Maybe back then korean bbq grill was new, but its pretty common now, specially in Dallas. This place should step up their games if want more customers :P

Not good at all ... the wait staff is a joke! We went in there with 13 of us, spent well over 500-600$ and we couldn't even get a refill or just the server to come back for any reason at all. The price for what you get is way out of wack, its chicken and beef nothing fancy .. but you're paying fancy prices really just a horrible time! And to top it off they tried to charge me for a togo soda after I already bought my cup at the table? What restaurant have you ever gone to and not been able to get a to go soda? This place is just a joke, made a huge deal about people not sitting at the same table if you don't get the unlimited stuff. WOULD NOT SPLIT CHECKS PERIOD!!! Do not go here!!!! You can find way better and cheaper.
