Dae Jang Keum

The place is so amazing. My favorite Korean spot to go to. The waitstaff are nice and helpful in picking food.I have been here for lunch and dinner. Their lunch specials are really good. My favorite is the bulgogi hot pot lunch (just minus the mushrooms for me). It's very filling and tastes so good. But their side dishes are where it's at! The pasta salad and the sweet potato dish are my favorite! I always ask for extra and they never have a problem giving them to me. Definitely give this cute place a try.

I've been here 3 times now and each time has been good in my experience . I really liked the shredded beef soup I had tonight and my friend enjoyed the sliced beef ribeye & vegetable soup. My parents enjoyed the Korean bbq and the servers helped cook and cut our meat. Overall the bbq was okay, but seeing other reviews I see that others think it wasn't that good. The service was nice and attentive. It's never been super busy when I've gone so the food is brought out relatively fast after ordering. It's a pretty spacious place and quiet, even though there is background music. It's nice and clean here too. I recommend checking them out if you are passing through Novi and want some Korean food. Especially some warm stew during the winter time!

BEWARE! Im going to start off by saying i was a server and i understand the need for tips. Furthermore i will also include that the food here is great and the atmosphere is good aswell. Customer service? not there strong suit. Me and my boyfriend come here every 2 months or so because its the only way i can feel connected (through the food) to my grandma after her passing. Every time has been impeccable, great service. EXCEPT this one lady. We have had her a couple times and all went well below my expectations but didnt bother me too bad, besides today. We ate our food and paid, looking at the change we got back to determine the tip, and we were going to leave a $20 on our $60 tab and pay with two 10s. Anyways, as we are looking at the bill she is hounding us about "TIP! TIP! YOU NEED TO LEAVE A TIP BEFORE YOU LEAVE" and pointing at the bottom of the receipt where the gratitude presentages are to insure we leave her with a good one. The gratitude said anywhere between $10-$15. Like i said we were going to leave $20 but after this it made my blood boil. Its not a requirement to tip, at all. i couldve left nothing. And never in a million years could i have done this while i was a server. We ended up giving her $11 because she was blocking the door and it made me feel unsafe and i just wanted to leave. I wont be returning because of this horrible experience. So please the food is great, but beware of the wait staff....

Great food, the perfect ambiance for a date night or a girls night. The 2 person meat platter with kimchi here was really tasty and is such a large amount of food. This was my first time at Dae Jang Keum and I would say it was a great dinner. The owner helped us with cooking our platter and was our server was stellar she provided excellent service. I will definitely be back and recommend this restaurant, we really loved it. Dae Jang Keum is a must try!!!

This was our first time coming here, and we really enjoyed it!We were greeted promptly would be arrived and seated. We got there about 5:30 PM and it wasn't busy yet. That turned out to be a really good thing because we have never been here before nor have we had Korean barbecue. The server spent some time going over the menu with us, and we decided to get a meal for two even though there were four of us. We also ordered a bowl of soup and an extra appetizer The server brought out the assorted meats and put them on the grill, showing us how to cook them. Well, everything did taste good that was grilled. The four of us did agree that the Bulgogi was best.As for the sides, we all had our favorites. I really enjoyed the seafood pancake that we had ordered is the appetizer. My husband really enjoyed the kimchi and the marinated cucumbers. My mother-in-law enjoyed the miso soup. I never had fish cake before, so I'm not sure if this is how it normally is, but it was strips of very thin noodle like stuff. Lol. I know that's not really technical sounding but I really don't know how to explain it.Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and I'm looking forward coming back to explore the menu further.One thing to note, is that the restaurant isn't exactly where it shows in maps on yelp...it's actually on a different section of the plaza. Also, they may have change the name of the restaurant. I am slightly hard of hearing, and I have difficulty understanding people with accents. But I hope you can find this place and give it a shot!

Great service here always. Frequent customers for years since moving to Northville and the workers recognize us and are very friendly. Cost is average for KBBQ. I like that they use an electric stove because the smoke doesn't make you leave smelling like what you ate. All the sides with the meal is excellent. Always my favorite part. Kimchi is 10/10, we all (4) had individual rice, fermented cucumbers and fried tofu were amazing. We ordered multiple servings of thin sliced beef brisket ($23.99 each), and soft tofu stew. Honestly amazing and filling. Would come again

2.5 years later, I'm updating my review for this place. They unfortunately no longer do AYCE (all-you-can-eat) but the food is still pretty good.We had five people tonight (myself, my boyfriend, and three of his friends) and we opted for the $88 combo plate, which included bulgogi, spicy pork, pork belly, and marinated ribs. I don't usually like spicy things but the pork was very good, as were all of the meats. The side dishes weren't as good as other KBBQ places in the area - there was some sort of mac & cheese dish, tofu, a salad, broccoli, kimchi, and others - but no bean sprouts, which is my preference. The combo we got was technically for three people and we ended up ordering a second combo of the same after, too. The bill was about $200 before tip and that also included an order of their dumplings ($8.99, although it says $7.99 on the menu) and two soft drinks. Compared to other places in the area (Chung Ki Wa and Korea Palace, both in Sterling Heights), it's a bit cheaper - I think Chunky, as I call it, was about $100-110 for that amount of food.However, waitservice continues to lag a little bit - we had to flag them down to order more food and also get refills, though sometimes they'd ask us about refills. The combo we ordered was supposed to come with a steamed egg and they never brought it, too - we had to ask about it.Overall I'd come back here for the food, which was very good, but I'd recommend coming with a group to split the price.

Best Korean Restaurant in all Michigan!Food - always freshFlavors - nothing compares; authenticService - please be patient; small business with small kitchenPrices - reasonable because of hog quality

Service was 5 star.Food was 2 starOrdered dduk gook. It was so salty we couldn't eat it. Like hello, am I in a hidden camera show to see my reaction?I did tell our server and they made another one for me. No questions asked. That's where they get the 5 stars.2nd dish was Jjajjangmyun. Aka black bean noodle. It was just meh. The vegetables are cut in a machine so finely that it's hard to pick up with the noodles. 3rd dish was dolsot bibimbab. It was just average. Rice could've been a bit dryer not mushy watery so it can make a hard rice on the bottom. The whole point of dolsot. Side dishes was terrible! Don't even bother with ordering the bbq. Not authentic. Meat quality was below average. They should really focus on one kind of food. Soup, bbq, or korean Chinese . It cAnt be all. Would I come back? No. Not even if I'm from Cali and there isn't much options here.

I only get one item everytime I go, and that's been good to eat. I'm not sure why they don't sell hot water or have to go cups but I've been told they don't do that there. There is a tea place in the same parking lot, so maybe you can go there for boba tea afterwards.
