Daldongnae Korean BBQ - Dundas Square

Mixed experience here. I went it wanting to order the Vegan Table BBQ but realized that wouldn’t be possible going with people who aren’t also vegetarian. The grill is quite small; the surface area wouldn’t be able to fit meat on one side and veggie on the other side. Moreover, they use meat fat to grease the grill (but perhaps they have a substitute for vegetarians). I was disappointed I couldn’t order the Vegan Table BBQ but perhaps will go back to try with other vegetarians. Instead, I ordered the Spicy Cold Noodle Salad with Veggies ($20.99 for the large; $14.99 for the small), a very large portion but could use some more seasoning. I found the BBQ sides (egg, corn cheese, and the other five Korean staple side dishes) more flavorful. The quantity did not match the quality. I like the bustling, vibrant atmosphere but on the reverse side, the service was quite slow and inattentive. Even when you try to flag them down, they don’t always come since they aren’t paying attention to you. When I came to take extra pictures of the space, the wait staff were accommodating so I guess service quality depends on how busy it is. Having a bit more consistency would be great. Accessibility note: since the restaurant is on the second floor, you have to walk up a flight of stairs to get there.

Went here on a date with a friend last week 🌚who recommended the place and wow, I’ve walked past this restaurant so many times without realizing what I was missing! The food was amazing, the portions were huge, and the meat was juicy and full of flavor. They even gave us large complimentary appetizers, which was such a nice surprise! The service is amazing!!

Absolutely loved it. We ordered the beef hanging tender and rib finger meat—both were incredibly flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection on the charcoal grill. The complimentary sides were fresh and nicely balanced, and the service was fast and friendly. The vibe feels authentic, cozy, and energetic, just like you'd hope from a true Korean BBQ experience. Definitely one of the best KBBQ spots in Toronto. I’ll be coming back for sure!

My new favorite place for sure. The food was amaizing and the staff so kind and on spot, the place is gorgeously decorated. I went alone and it was a big amount of food 😅 So maybe go in at least a pair, but alone is a good option too. I took like 4 hours to finish my food and left a bit, but I eat slow, and it was veggies and meat so all good with that

1st time ever at a Korean BBQ joint-- let me tell you this place set the var high! My mother, brother and I visited the downtown location. Awesome place. Very clean, very welcoming staff, food was amazing- meat was tender and full of flavor, sides were also amazing and of course the beer. Our waiter, Matt, was amazing. As it was our 1st time he walked us through everything, engaged in friendly conversation really making us feel welcome and almost at home. We will certainly be back bringing more friends and family. Highly recommend A+++. Thank you, see you again soon.

I've visited Daldongnae on multiple occasions, including the location at Bloor, and it consistently delivers a great experience. The quality of the meat is excellent for the price, and the variety of side dishes complements the main course perfectly (literally there isn’t a bad combo to mix the meats with!). The service is also attentive and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant for big back activities or a fun and memorable dining experience with friends and family.

Really cute decor and aesthetic! The food was also fantastic and comes with tons of complimentary side dishes and accompaniments. Please consider expanding to Vancouver!
