Daldongnae Korean BBQ - Mississauga

I've had many Korean BBQ before and this place deserves to be on my top 5. We came here for lunch and had an amazing experience. Our waitress was very nice; she helped us how to order and recommended some top dishes. The food arrived on time. It was authentic and fulfilling. The meat was tender and flavorful. Overall, we had an amazing experience. Will be back when in Toronto again!

This KBBQ restaurant was very nice. The aesthetic is beautiful and elaborate. The food was absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed the unlimited sides. This place is definitely more expensive than the average kbbq restaurant. The waitress was not very friendly and honestly seemed quite irritable. This restaurant is great for dates, dinner with friends, or a work outing.

We had a fantastic experience at Daldongnae Korean BBQ in Mississauga last night. The food quality was great, just like always, and the decor was really fun and inviting. The staff were friendly, and we had a wonderful evening overall!

Great meat quality. The marbling on the wagyu chuck-steak and boneless short ribs add a nice touch of tenderness. The pork belly is well-prepared—thick cuts with a good balance of fat and flavour. I always get multiple refills of the spicy cucumbers. The atmosphere is chill and the service is straightforward.

One of the most authentic and delicious Korean bbq places I’ve been so far. Food: They had a variety of meat options and all were so fresh. The side dishes were authentic, yet easy to eat with the meats. Price: Prices were reasonable. They also have lunch specials, which are even more affordable. Service and location: The staffs were very attentive and nice. The location was within Chinese centre, but the restaurant was not too apparent that my company and I had to walk around a bit to find it. Would I visit this place again? Yes and I would probably get the same menus; beef boneless short ribs, pork jowl meat and rice. Fyi, the meats didn’t look that much, but with rice and the side dishes, it was way more than I expected.

We've been wanting to try this place out but coming from Burlington it needed to be a commitment. After finally being able to the experience was more than well worth it. We had one beef and one chicken for the BBQ and the seafood pancake. The meats were tasty and good quality. The side dishes were a good variety and went well with the grilled meats. Will definitely be back for more.

Amazing experience! We had a large group last night and our first time doing this, the staff were awesome. Very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Food was so tasty, will definitely do it again!

My favorite Korean Bbq place. I always feel really satisfied whenever i come here. If anybody knows a better place than Daldongnae, please let me know! But i don’t think any place can beat their service and foods. Their beef, pork, condiments, butter corn.. everything is so tasty. The server always comes to check on you regularly as well. The restaurant vibe is great for hang out with friends! Love the experience!

Textbook definition of a five star on Yelp. Had dinner here with the family a few nights ago after researching Google, Yelp, and Reddit for the best KBBQ in Toronto/GTA and it did not disappoint. This location's in the Mississauga Chinese Centre, tucked right at the front corner next to Pho Black Bull. If you blink, you will miss it. The grand exterior matches the unique Asian interior very well. Felt like we were transported to a village in Seoul as we walked through the door. The rundown: non-AYCE, minimum of two servings of meat or vegan sets per table, minimum of one serving per person. Comes with five sides, two stews, lettuce, egg, and corn cheese. Refills on sides, lettuce, egg, and corn cheese. I found that one order of meat per person is actually the perfect amount. Maybe add one more if y'all are starving for food. It's roughly 6.5oz/order. For my LA folks, it reminded me of a cross between Baekjeong and Quarters in the best way. Our server Sam along with the rest of the staff was top-notch. Even though we were one of the only groups dining at 9-10pm, we never felt rushed at any point. Sam checked in on us regularly, made sure we enjoyed everything, and was overall an exceptional server. Food was great. Glad I didn't choose an AYCE place because the cuts here were incredible. We ordered the pork belly, rib eye roll x2, hanging tender, and short ribs. Everything was great, but I enjoyed the ribeye roll and short ribs the best. Super tender, fatty, and delicious. Didn't feel the need to order any Wagyu. The sides were also great. While I would've loved some more common sides like kimchi and fish cake, I was pleasant surprised with the pickled cucumber, acorn jelly, and that motherfuckin corn cheese. That corn cheese hits different. Sam told me the secret is a blend of mayo, sugar, and not really that much cheese. The mayo really helps coat the corn protecting it from scorching in the pan while also helping that sugar slowly caramelize. Fantastic. Some stuff that felt short: the rice was really soggy. Wasn't a fan. The seafood pancake was greasy and wasn't crisp. Kimchi fried rice was one dimensional and greasy as well. Since those aren't core to the meal, I'm not gonna ding a star. Just a heads up. 5/5, one of the best KBBQ experiences I have ever had and I will most definitely stop by anytime I'm in Canada. Dinner came out to roughly $230 CAD before tip

Came to celebrate our anniversary and we had the most wonderful time. The staff here are amazing and so attentive and thoughtful. Our server Sam even offered to take a photo for us -- little did he know we were celebrating our anniversary. So grateful to the team here for taking such good care of us. Here's what we ordered: * Pork Belly * Beef Tenderloin * Hot Stone Rice with Bulgogi and Mixed Veggies * Melona Soju Cocktail $12.99 * Peach Blacktea Lemonade Soju Highball $11.99 I think prices have gone up since last year, but still a delicious meal and new menu items to try. I especially loved my melona soju cocktail. Everything was so good. Love the cheese corn and egg on the grill. This location is super nostalgic for us. In the winter, they had heaters so people could still eat outdoors on the patio (this was Feb 2022) 20250614

FIIIIIIVE stars! Would get more if the Yelp allowed it! Get eight super hungry people together and find a place they will all be happy with? Korean BBQ! Different cuts of beef, pork, chicken, add steamed rice, kimchi fried rice, five sides and different sauces. Service was really good. Staff was very attentive. Food delicious! Ambience relaxed casual!

Higher quality KBBQ in the area, not AYCE. As such, expect premium prices and the cost per person to average slightly higher than normal. We stopped here late at night as it was one of the few things still open. Also ample parking as they're in a shared lot, especially easy at night when everything else is closed. High bar for service and meat. As a larger party, we sat comfortably and appreciated recommendations from our server.

Authentic and delicious. Everyone gets a booth. Super nice staff. Free refills on all the appetizers. The only thing is, no kids menu or options for picky eaters.

Yes!! I highly recommend this restaurant! Our waiter. Sam, was so informative and engaging! Great food. Great service. And the price was very reasonable. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thank you!!

This joint is one of my fav Korean bbq restaurant. It is a tad pricy but the quality of the meat speaks for itself. We love the refillable sides including the corn, eggs, and kimchi. The staffs were very friendly and accommodating. We had to store a cake for our friend's birthday and they accepted it with no fuss. The ambience is great for a fun dinner spot with friends. Almost forgot to mention, their melona soju was very delicious!

I am a huge fan of Daldongnae however this location's service usually disappoints me compared to the other locations near Toronto. They take forever to serve and check up on you even when it's not too busy. Food is good but it always tastes different each time at this particular location. It's strange.

My 2nd visit, still the same. Unique ambience. Service part friendly, part busy/fast unfriendly. Food is good, I mean at the end you cook it yourself.

This place is very popular and I understand the hype. The meat quality is superb and the side dishes are delicious (psa- they are refillable). It is definitely on the pricier side of things though so we come here for special occasions only. We also got the melona soju, it was so refreshing. What a perfect summer drink. Everyone was so friendly and nice, although sometimes it's hard to get the server's attention. We understand though, the restaurant is always very busy.

This Daldongnae is in the Mississauga Chinese Centre which is an outdoor plaza adorned by facades of traditional Chinese architecture. There are a lot of eateries and places to get drinks here so I was really surprised that we were able to get parking pretty easily at dinner time. There were some tables that were available around 7:30pm on a Saturday so we didn't have to wait. The menus are accessible via QR code on the table. Daldongnae is a la carte but their meats are really high quality so it's worth the premium. All of the cuts of beef are great. The banchans and grill accompaniments are all refillable, which is great because the egg is realllly good! We always get the kimchi fried rice and seafood pancake as sides. The former is spicy and if you want to tone it down a bit, I recommend getting cheese added to it. My group also loves to add the extra egg to the fried rice. The fried rice comes with one sunny side up egg but with the additional egg, we all get a good portion. The service is really good here. They're very prompt with the refills of the sides and water. There's also just a lot of staff always walking around so it's easy to flag someone down and it doesn't have to be your server. Daldongnae still my go-to KBBQ spot!

One of my favourite kbbq places! The meat selection is really good plus I love all the refillable side dishes. Super affordable and the service was attentive. Super rustic looking restaurant as well.

Overpriced for the quality of food. Taste was mediocre. Overall and overhyped experience.

This is my favourite Daldongnae location! The side dishes are fresh and the food is delicious. The service is great and staff are very friendly and efficient.

Daldongnae is located in the Mississauga Chinese Centre. It is located on the left corner when you drive in from Dundas St E. FOOD: - A-la-carte KBBQ. The quality of the meats is superior compared to AYCE KBBQ. - A vegetarian option is offered! No need to exclude your vegetarian friends at a meat-centric restaurant. - You grill the meats yourself SERVICE: - Sides were constantly replenished for our group of 7 - All 3 stalls in the women's bathroom ran out of toilet paper... ALLERGIES: - Per Daldongnae's website: "Our menu is entirely peanut-free". Woohoo! OVERALL: - A great spot to hang out with friends!

A decent place for K-BBQ. Very good service, friendly servers, clean tables and booths. Items for table cooking has limited choices, however the selections are good. We had beef chuck steaks and beef tenderloin. The meat quality was good. A bit more richer sides could earn this restaurant a 5 star.

been a longtime daldongnae lover but only tried this sauga location today! the banchan always bring me back for more (acorn jelly & cheese corn are my fave). this time we had the ribeye and marinated hangar steaks as our 2 meat choices. the hanger steak was tender and juicy, however the ribeye was extremely chewy. there is mainly only pork and beef options here with a couple seafood options. my cut of choice pork would be jowl meat, and finger meat for the beef! for a saturday night, we waited about an hour starting at 7pm w no resos, which weren't a problem for us since we anticipated waiting even longer.

I have been to this location multiple times and each time has been wonderful - from the food to the service, 10/10! It does get busy during dinner time so you may have to wait for a table, but it was never more than 15 minutes for us. I love getting the pork belly and kalbi cuts, the cold noodles and other soups were really good too! Service is very speedy, and they were very good with refilling our side dishes and lettuces multiple times throughout the night. I always leave feeling super satisfied!

Loved Daldongnae's Mississauga location! It's honestly the easiest one for us to get to because we don't need to get downtown and it's faster to drive out west to the Mississauga Chinatown (lots of amazing chinese-vietnamese eateries around here if your wait is too long and you need a little snackie snack before your meal haha) I'm told that every Daldongnae looks different and unique inside, but i really only looked for the IU soju ads, and there was more than one, so that's a win in my book! Let me break down our Daldongnae experience in 3 parts: the wait, the service, the food. 1) The Wait: We arrived on a Friday evening around 6pm and put our names down on the tablet that uses Yelp Waitlist. I did not check the Yelp app as we were driving over to see if remote joining was available. We were 9th on the list upon arrival, but really did not have to wait that long! maybe 20-30 minutes tops? 2) The Service: I often feel like KBBQ spots either check on you too often or not enough. Somehow, on this Friday night, the waitstaff struck a perfect balance! We did need to ask for things ourselves, but there was not a shortage of staff walking around to check tables so it was really easy to ask for banchan / lettuce refills and have someone come back with what we needed! They came by and asked if we wanted a refill of the corn cheese or steamed egg near the end of our meal, but we were so full and barely even finished the first round that we had to deny. Maybe next time I'll think more about finishing the corn cheese & egg sooner to ask for a refill cuz it's just SO GOOD. 3) The Food: As many other reviews (and the menu itself) state, you need to at least order 2 servings (whether meat or vegan) to use the grill. It was just my spouse and I eating here so we got one order of the BEEF BONELESS SHORT RIB (kalbisal) and one order of the PORK JOWL (hangjeongsal). We also ordered the GREEN ONION PANCAKE WITH SEAFOOD (haemul pajeon, aka seafood pancake). When the meat board came out, I was worried it wouldn't be enough food.. However, I was so full at the end of our meal, we even had to take home 1/3 of our seafood pancake! My husband made a really good point that I literally made each morsel of meat into a lettuce wrap, so that's key to the KBBQ experience. My one gripe about this place is that kimchi is served on the grill. I love cooked/grilled kimchi, but i was definitely craving some non-grilled kimchi as part of the standard banchan (all the banchan was great tho). This gripe is clearly not enough for me to dock any stars :)

I've only been here with a smaller group before but this time we were a party of 7 and our experience was amazing. We ordered a variety of meat including beef tenderloin, beef short ribs, pork belly and pork jowl. Beef was tender and pork was crispy but overall everything tasted fresh. If you want to add other dishes to complement the food, cold noodle soup (not as spicy) and spicy cold noodles (quite spicy) are both good options. Seafood pancake is also a good shareable dish. The staff was very attentive to our endless requests for side dish refills and beverages. The manager was very friendly and provided unparalleled service. Highly recommend for a large group but make sure you make a reservation! Recommended dishes Pork Belly and Beef Boneless Short Rib, Pork Belly and Beef Short Ribs, Seafood Pancake, Spicy Cold Noodle, Beef Tartare Raw Beef, Kimchi Cold Noodle, Kimchi Cold Noodles Soup Parking space Plenty of free parking Good for Groups Make a reservation

Finally made it to this outpost for Daldongnae Korean BBQ! Located in Mississauga's historic Chinatown centre, it has an end unit with a large dining room and patio. My party of 6 arrived on a Friday night at 7:30pm without reservations, and I was happy (and lucky) to get a table in 20 minutes - even though the line was long! The service was FAST. Occasionally servers forgot to bring what we asked for, but we eventually got help and it was fine. They were just so busy. So be decisive and try to order what you need before you run out. Food came out pretty fast. Our table has 2 grills. We really enjoyed all the banchan and main dishes. Would definitely come back again to try more from their extensive menu!

Im glad I went here with my cousins. Kbbq is always fun with more people. We visited Canada but I had to have my fix. Daldongnae definitely filled that. Endless banchan. Good cheese. GREAT STEAK. and the shingles old school feel? Super cool. High recommended

Omg one of the best Korean BBQs of my life!! My parents live across and I've always wanted to come. Took a chance and brought my dad for his first time and it did not disappoint. For two meat, some mushrooms and a bottle of soju we paid $100CAD.

Really solid Korean bbq chain that's open late at night. Downsides: You have to grill yourself and their meats are all in marinated. They also require you to order two meats per table. It comes with a decent number of side dishes and the corn cheese is delicious. The cold noodle salad was not what I was expecting but portion size was large

Visiting here from Edmonton, this place is amazing! At first we thought the à la carte menu was kinda pricey but it's actually so affordable when split between two people. The sides can can be refilled for free. We were full afterwards and the food tasted great. For food we ordered: Thin Sliced Pork Belly $18.99- There were many slices in the portion as long as you break them apart. Very yummy Beef Rib Finger Meat $22.99- small thick pieces of beef that was cooked tender and juicy Kimchi Fried Rice with Pork $14.99-came with a fried egg on top and was delicious. There weren't a lot of pork pieces though The BBQ came with eggs, corn cheese, garlic and kimchi which can be refilled along with the side dishes. It also came with a free kimchi soup! The total bill per person was $32.19! Soo reasonable and it's even cheaper than some AYCE places.

I went here with some friends for a reservation. They were busy and they were even early. We respected the table that we booked. The place looks nice and clean. The grill was also nice and clean the meat look fresh. The pork belly slices were very very thin thinner than bacon. The steak was not hard and tender. The server asked to finish all the size before giving a new round of sides. The service was efficient the only give one plate with soy sauce on it and onion already so there's no way to avoid putting soy sauce on your meat and it's all one flavor. Also give a side of sesame pepper and one side of peanut sauce.

Been here about 3x already the service is always great. The staff are superr kind and helpful. The food is delicious! The order comes pretty fast so no need to order everything all at once. Is not all you can eat. So becareful haha is pretty easy to get lost ordering so much. Nothing bad can be said. I recommend the boneless beef short ribs the finger beef and the hanging tendon beef. 5/5 Pork belly is also really good too! Drinks wise I stick to soju but their melona soju was okay. I found it a bit too sweet for me personally. 2/5

Great for reservation and I feel blessed. I was worried that I wasn't able to book it on time but they made a spot for me !

The service is all time great here. We interacted with 3/4 amazing waiters. Food is excellent. Unbelievable experience. Great ambiance. All around our favourite first time experience at a restaurant. Thank you.

The food was amazing, the staff were helpful and friendly and the overall atmosphere of the place was great!

One of my favourite Korean BBQ spots in the GTA. Food is always served fresh, portions are great, and service is quick and friendly. It became a must-go for me and my family every time we come down to GTA.

This may be my favourite restaurant of all time because of the comfort it brings me. Their menu is a la carte and you grill the meat yourself. It comes with refillable steamed egg, cheese corn, and kimchi on the sides of the grill. It also comes with a complementary soybean soup and refillable side dishes (mashed potato/pumpkin, acorn jelly, spicy beansprouts, and etc). I think the mashed potato/pumpkin is their best side dish. The recipe for the soup around 2 years ago was the best imo and the reason I came back so many times (to the point where the servers noticed and welcomed us back lmao). The soup now is still good but for some reason it doesn't taste the same as before. You can also order extra side dishes like seafood pancake, squid salad, cold noodles, and more. The seafood pancake tasted a bit undercooked (but that may be how it's supposed to be made?). The squid salad is very spicy, but very good. They add apple slices which surprisingly works very well with the dish. You need to order a minimum of 2 meats which, unlike Gyubee, aren't marinated but I prefer it that way. Instead they give you an onion dipping sauce and 2 other dipping sauces (forgot the name). I always get the pork jowl (around $19 per order). I always come back as a treat to myself if I had a bad day and daldongnae never fails to cheer me up :)

This was my first time here and my review is one word: WOW. Every cut of meat was delicious & the amount of sides they give you is insane! All sides are also refillable so you'll leave feeling full no matter what . My favourite was the beef short rib - pair it with some garlic and wrap it in a lettuce and you get the perfect deliciousness. The cheese corn is also super addicting , probably my favourite side. . . Beef Short Rib Beef Hanging Tender Pork Belly Assorted Mushroom highly recommend!

Been to a couple of Daldongnaes in the GTA and I would say the Mississauga location is one of my favourite! They are newly renovated, so it made my experience comfortable. The food was delicious and the service was friendly, but at the beginning, 3 different servers came up to us to ask if we were ready to order so coordination can be something to improve on. This location is very busy, so I'd highly suggest dropping by the restaurant first to come put your name down on their waitlist!

Highly recommend this place. Great food and experiences. The short rib beef is delicious as well as the sides.

Seeing as this was one of the few korean bbq restaurants I've been to in Ontario, it wasn't too bad at all. The inside of the restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing and it's kept at a cool temperature which helps a lot once you start cooking. The beef that we ordered was a little bit dry and had absolutely no flavour, so you really have to rely on the side dishes for that. The service was good, very helpful but didn't really check in so it was kind of hard to ask questions if needed.

Really great first experience! The service was a bit slow but they were very pleasant!

Daldongnae recently renovated and it's nice and spacious. I've gone to many different locations in the past but this is my favourite one. The wait staff is nice and all the side dishes and food are just seasoned to perfection. The servers never give us any grief when ordering more side dishes and are actually very friendly. We always order the thick cut pork belly and this time we tried to hanger steak and the short ribs which were both really great and tender. We ordered the seafood pancake for my dad to try and although it's good it lacks the crunchier texture I'm looking for. Hands down would come again, my nephews love this place and beg to go here every time they are in town.

This place is delicious but it's not the best korean bbq in the city, so they charge a bit too much for a regular visit. I loved the atmosphere and the service though.

Be advised this isnt a typical korean bbq menu. Many items you'd find at the average korean bbq places won't be available here. No white rice, no bibimbap.. etc.. the meats are limited to beef and pork, no seafood.. when I asked why the lady told me this is actually the authentic Korean bbq experience although I've had Korean BBQ in Korea and it wasnt like this.. not sure, but I definitely wouldn't go again. Also, no liquor other than beer or Soju.. the latter was pretty weak .. tasted like juice .. also Banchan was very limited (the small appetizer plates)

Been to the restaurant many times, the meat is top quality, the service is friendly and fast. Specific example when a guest with food allergy, the server went that extra mile. The atmosphere is very lively.

If you're a fan of Korean cuisine and looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience, look no further than Daldongnae. They have multiple locations throughout the GTA. Each table is equipped with a built-in grill where you can cook a variety of meats to perfection. From marinated beef and pork to succulent chicken and seafood, the menu offers an extensive selection of high-quality cuts that are seasoned to enhance their natural flavors. The bonus for me is their unlimited cheese corn and egg. Can't get enough!!

Old school KBBQ place in the heart of Mississauga. Excellent selection of meats. Attentive wait staff

I'm glad they opened a location here! It's the same food as the ones in North York and Christie downtown. Everything was good as usual quality wise, but the service was a bit slower here. They were slow in refilling the sides when requested. All of the sides, cheese corn, and egg are FREE refills when requested!

My friends and I came here for dinner. Currently all the dining is done on a heated patio, so note that it may be cold if you are not sitting beside the heater. We got beef short rib, tenderloin and pork belly for the barbecue. The plate came with egg, garlic and corn cheese and kimchi. The short rib and tenderloin were really juicy! However the portion for all the meat were not as big as we expected. We also got kimchi fried rice, seafood pancake and kimchi and tofu soup. All the dishes were flavorful and had good portions. The waiters were great and very attentive to any requests we had :) would highly recommend this place!

Ok Mississauga has been POPPINN' lately - especially with the addition of Daldongnae, my favourite KBBQ EVER. I was super stoked to check it out and as per usual, I had a very very delicious meal... I mean, can you even go wrong with Daldongnae?... Nah!! Service is great - the servers are always super quick and available if I ever need any help. I've been to other locations countless of times and no servers ever tell me which meat is which when dropping it off, this location is the very first one to do that which I appreciate :) When you hear a la carte you probably think it is going to be PRICEY AFFF but it is totally worth it because there are sooo many sides (AND THEY'RE REFILLABLE!!). My favourite is definitely the corn cheese.. that shii is ADDICTING. My hubby literally eats two re-fills of that on his own no joke lol!! For meat, I always order the pork belly, boneless short rib and ribeye roll. There is a minimum of two meats per table, and that is super filling for two people with all the sides too. I recommend the spicy cold noodles as well!! SUCH A DELIGHT with the meats omgg. Another thing I really love about Daldongae is that they have heated patios at most of their locations - though it is still very chilly if you go on a super cold Canadian winter night.. I had to eat with my jacket on LOL :( If you're looking for some bomb dot come KBBQ, Daldongnae is FIREEE. I've never met anybody who does not like this place!!

First off the lighting was darker than it should have been and it probably set the mood for me. We were seated at a table that I didn't feel comfortable at because I could hardly see anything. How am I supposed to eat if I can't see what I'm eating... anyways we moved to a table that was close to a window so we could see... Food was okay but kind of bland though.. and who puts kimchi on the BBQ to heat up and have the meat drip its grease on it... sorry, but for me, that is disgusting.. I was not happy with the dark environment and the rather slow service most of the time... will definitely not be going back there..

The food here never disappoints. From the first time we tried eating here, the occasional cravings has never left. We always order their selection of beef bbq, and although I would have liked their portions to be a bit bigger, it makes up for the amount of side dishes that they eagerly replenish and the prompt friendly service. We only have ever eaten from their outside patio, so I cant really say much from their inside just as yet. But the ambiance has always been family friendly and casual. Anyway, if your in the mississauga area, this is the place to dine. Parking can be a bit tricky inside the plaza but the back part has always room.

Recently opened in Mississauga! and it did not disappoint. fast service, attentive staffs, good food & good patio vibes. as of this time, they are waiting on license to open indoor dining - so only patio is open. quick tip: free limited refills of sides such as cheesy corn, egg, potato salad, etc. also, you have to order a minimum of 2 MEATS per table. 2 meats are in fact good for 2 person already! we tried, pork belly & beef tenderloin! and it was marinated well! same owner as Sushi Omigoto (located at the same plaza) so no wonder it was that good of a food & service! good job Daldongnae Mississauga!
