Reviews for Yaedam Korean BBQ in Pleasant Hill, CA

We went to this restaurant for my birthday dinner with 10 people. They did not have our reservations after calling to confirm... twice. So we had to sit at two different tables. No acknowledgment of my birthday. Worst service I ever had! The food wasterrible! Two people working there. One didn’t understand or speak English! Dirty. No one working the huge bar which is whereyou make your money. Couldn’t get a drink. Will never go back there again. Couldn’t wait to leave. Worst birthday dinnerever had. 0 Stars.They might as well just shut down and close. Read more

Parking is limited. Parked at the strip mall lot across the street. Got a table with no wait. It's the only place I've found... that offers Unami Bi Bim Bop. Plus extra Unami can be requested. Very tasty. The Strawberry Snowflakes dessert is generous anddelicious. The only downside was the waiter doesn't come by very often. Otherwise, I recommend this place for good eating. Read more

OK, First things first. The food...Flippin' AMAZING! I might be biased because I'm Korean but seriously, the food is... delicious. This place used to be a different Korean restaurant pre-pandemic but everything's new/different/changed now and thisis yet another example. Back to the food... The banchan is well done and flavorful and has authentic flavors that is reallyhard to do well. The Kim Chee Jigae is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! The richness of flavor without being over salted is what surprisedme. They also had a korean beer that I never had before so that was pretty cool. You know I had to order the Kal Bi too. Thatwas super good as well. The manager/owner said that an order would feed 1 and a half people but we found that it'll easily feed2 and in our case they brought out 4 decent sized ribs and it fed all 4 of us. Granted 2 of my party were little ones (actually1 little one and my teenage son who could put away the groceries). One of the issues I had was that things I asked for didn'tshow up and I had to either ask multiple times for them or the wrong thing showed up. Eventually I asked to cancel a coupleitems off our order. If it weren't for that I would absolutely give this a 5 star review. In the end it wasn't a big deal but Ican see these things being exacerbated during high volume times like Friday or Saturday evenings. With that being said I thinkit's a 4.5 star place. Well done, authentic Korean food is hard to do and good places are a rarity. I would be more than happyto drive an hour to come back with my family or wife on a date night/cruise. Support your local korean restaurant, give thisplace a try (just not on Friday or Sat night lol). Read more

Family got to experience this place tonight and it's definitely an experience! Being our first time as got the large beef to... cook at our table which included 3 types of beef, rice for 4, soup, and a myriad of fermented Korean style veggies. My kidsthought it was so cool to cook our own food and enjoyed trying all the different flavors and food. Only reason I'm giving 4stars is it took a LONG time to get our food. I was surprised they didn't bring the soup out first or something as we just satand sat and sat. Meat and veggies finally came, but I had to ask if we were going to get our rice and soup. Read more

We were there on opening night and were VERY impressed with the quality of the food and the wonderful remodel from the previous... Korean restaurant (Chop Chop). The staff was wonderful and the new owner a delight. A fantastic new addition to PH! Read more
