Reviews for Daebak Korean BBQ in Chicago, IL

Great spot for BBQ. Tried the beef combo which was very good. You get a variety of different side dishes. The food was cooked... for you. Great experience with nice and friendly customer service. Gratuity (20%) was added on the bill. Read more

Great place to get some good Korean style BBQ. Also got the chilly soup, buck wheat cold noodles and grilled pancake. Many... traditional small dishes and kimchi to choose from. Read more

We ordered small beef combo. That was enough for 3 of us. You get rice, soup, and all the sides. I do like their sides. They... grilled the beef for us. The beef was tender. The marinate beef was tender and good flavor, not too salty or sweet. I had betterKorean bbq in LA and Oregon, I usually do all you can eat. Read more

We got two orders of the brisket and it was good (hard to mess that up though). I love the variety of banchan (side dishes)... here! They were very good! The seafood pancake was okay, it tastes more like a scallion pancake at a Chinese restaurant (notmuch seafood in it and very crispy). I was very disappointed by the steam egg and cheese corn. You can tell the corn is cannedcorn and the egg took forever to cook on the top, while the bottom was over cooked. The well for the egg is so shallow, you’repretty much getting a thin scrape of the cooked egg (dry). It’s not what you would expect from traditional Korean restaurantswhere you get a moist, comforting steamed egg in a hot bowl. The onions never even caramelized, it stayed white till the end ofthe meal. I feel like this method, although efficient in theory, has compromised the product. It’s a shame. The service wasgood though. No complaints there! Read more

Great Korean BBQ spot to go with friends. Try the beef combo plate as it is really good. They took an automatic 20% tip so be... careful of tipping twice! They cook the food for you. And it was good. The prices are a bit more expensive than if you go to anAYCE place. Still good quality and I’d recommend if you are craving KBBQ Read more

It was very good and filling. It won’t look like a lot of food but trust me you will be satisfied. The marinated meats were... better than those that were not as they lacked seasoning. Not sure if they take reservations but be prepared to put your name onthe list and wait at least 25-30 minutes. Read more

Everything was good. We had the Daebak Combo and dumplings. The staff was really nice and helpful. They even cook the meat and... mushrooms for you here. Not a big fan of the soup though. Also a bit pricey. Ended up around 110$ for 2 people with tax and tip. That is a lot imo. Read more

I ordered a set meal for 3-4 persons for $109! There is kimchi soup or beef soup for free, but the waiter didn't tell me to... give me a free soup, I ordered another beef soup for $17.99, and then he said to give me a meat, and asked me to order moremeat, and I repeated the order Two, I thought they were delivered. When I paid for the order, I added a 20% tip to the total of$354, the beef soup was $17.99, and the repeated order of two meats was $53. Did I say that this package is not meant to bedelivered? He said no, I said soup? He said he forgot, and then said the soup can be packed! Nor did he directly subtract$12.99! I packed the soup. I got up this morning, heated up the beef soup, took a sip, and found that one piece of the tofu wasblack and the other was white. I knew that the package he packed for me was not fresh, so I tried a sip, Except salty, there isno other taste. I will not go again in the future, and I will also remind my friends not to go again, the most dissatisfyingtime! Read more
