"Taking over the former Chosun Galbi space in Highland, Dam-A is a Korean restaurant that offers all-you-can-eat KBBQ, hot pot, and small plates for $36 at dinner (less for kids and during lunch). It’s also one of the few spots where you can cook your own meats until the wee hours of the morning (it’s open until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays)." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"An all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue and hot pot restaurant with an expansive selection of broths (tomato, seafood, tonkotsu, miso, mushroom, spicy mala), Korean staples like fried chicken and tteokbokki, a wide appetizer lineup (japchae, fried rice, sweet and sour pork), and an unlimited spring-roll bar; pricing runs approximately $36 per adult for dinner ($16 for kids 6–12), $26 for weekday lunch, and kids under 5 eat free, with weekday dinner service starting after 3 p.m. and all-day service on weekends." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Dam-A is an all-you-can-eat hot pot and Korean BBQ spot in the Highland shopping center where every table comes equipped with a communal grill and individual hot pots. Meats and vegetables are self-serve, and while the selection and quality don’t quite match specialized hot pot or BBQ restaurants, the fun of trying to manage both at once makes it worth a visit. If you’re seeking the best Korean BBQ in town, you can get a better experience at one of the other spots on this list. But if you don’t want to choose between grilling and boiling your meat, Dam-A gets the job done." - nicolai mccrary

"Dam-A is a decent all-you-can-eat hot pot and Korean BBQ twofer in the Highland shopping center. It’s conveniently located next to the Galaxy movie theater, making it well-equipped for a meal of endless meats before or after stuffing yourself with a bottomless bucket of popcorn. The biggest draw here is that every table comes with a communal grill and individual hot pots, so you don’t have to choose one or the other—you can sear marinated slabs of bulgogi and dunk slices of pork jowl into spicy Sichuan broth. Meats and vegetables are self-serve, and while the selection and quality don’t quite match specialized hot pot or BBQ spots, the fun of trying to manage both at once makes it worth a visit. If you're craving the best of either format, other places do them better. But for a filling, interactive meal—or a pre-movie bite—Dam-A gets the job done. photo credit: Nicolai McCrary" - Nicolai McCrary
