  I usually don’t write reviews, even when experiences are exceptional - good or bad. But this visit was truly one of the worst I have ever had, so much so that I feel compelled to warn other families before they visit this establishment. As a family of two adults, one young child, and an infant, we were met with an extremely uncomfortable experience - one adult left barely satisfied, one adult didn’t get to eat, and our child’s experience was mediocre at best. We arrived around 7:45 PM and were immediately met with silence and cold stares. I wish I could exaggerate, but the atmosphere was genuinely unwelcoming, especially compared to the laughter and smiles the servers shared with the group sitting behind us. Despite our confusion, we continued. When we tried to order two different menu items, we were told they were unavailable, so we opted for the unlimited option. It wasn’t until around 8:25 PM that the meat arrived, and I immediately noticed the portions were much smaller than expected. When the female server returned five minutes later to ask if we wanted anything else, we requested an additional plate of one particular meat. She then informed us we couldn’t order more after that additional request because the kitchen was closed. At that point, I looked at the time: 8:30 PM. While I understand kitchens have closing times, we were given no warning or heads-up. We felt blindsided and trapped into an “unlimited” meal that was, in reality, very limited. My partner noticed that the female server continued to glare at us, and when he looked back, she told the male server and stopped serving us altogether. The male server came over asking if everything was okay, though it was clear he was also visibly upset. Realizing we were no longer being serviced, I asked for the check. They had tried to charge us for two adults and one child, even though I had not eaten at all. Given the small portions and needing the child to eat first, I asked them to update the check accordingly. I left extremely baffled, upset, and still hungry. For $71 (1 adult and 1 child), one adult left barely satisfied, one child left okay, and one adult didn’t even eat. I don’t understand what we did to deserve this treatment, and I even had to explain to my child why mommy wasn’t eating that night. This experience was deeply disappointing, and I feel other families should be warned before visiting. For clarity, we visited Dae Gee Castle Rock on April 4, 2026 - one female and one male server. I have their names, but out of respect for the situation, I think the manager / owner should talk to them privately. I am an Asian mom who generally likes to go out and support other Asian establishments, which makes this even harder for me to write. Photo attached for the “unlimited” option.

  When we first walked in the vibes were great but immediately when we sat down with a different waiter the vibe completely threw me off. First service; as soon as we sat down we only got two plates (our family is a family of four) And myself had to go get my own utensils and plates. We had questions and our waiter was very backhanded. When our meat came out, they did not give us any tongs nor scissors with an excuse that they "forgot" but everyone else seated received tongs and scissors. When I went to the bathroom it was very dirty and had open trash cans in there. Finally, the self stove was very very slow. The next complaint that I had was the quality of the food and the size. The egg portion was really only 1 egg and the corn cheese was cold. When we asked for our check, he overcharged us extra money. Overall very bad experience, and i do not recommend going here at all, especially when it comes to service. As i read many reviews, I can confirm that we are not the only family that had a bad experience here.

  Came in for the second time a couple weeks ago, and things have changed so much! The first time we came in, they did not yet have their in-table grills in yet. However, when we came back, they had the grill tables available for use! The all you can eat barbeque is really a bang for your buck, and you get so much food! Our server, Briar was attentive and brought us all of the food we needed when we requested it. All of the food was Highly satisfactory, and the assortment of meats was great! Highly recommend DaeGee to anyone who loves dumplings!!

  My family and I had such a fantastic experience at DAE GEE Korean BBQ! The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was fun and lively, but what really made our visit special was our server, Briar. Briar was incredibly attentive the entire time we were there. She checked on us often without ever being intrusive and made sure we had everything we needed. Her friendly and welcoming personality really stood out and made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. It’s rare to have service that thoughtful and genuine. Dining out is always better when you have someone who clearly cares about the guests’ experience, and Briar truly went above and beyond. We will definitely be back and will be hoping to sit in her section again! Highly recommend DAE Gee if you’re looking for great Korean BBQ and outstanding service. Didn’t get a chance to take pics cuz we were so busy cooking and eating 😆
