Service up there, grill pan is always changed to maintain cooking standard. Topping up of food is also very efficient. With advance booking we are able to get a seat readily too.

Service was good and the food was delish! Really like how charcoal is used instead of gas stove and the meat was well marinated. There was a wide variety of ala carte meals to choose from too. Will definitely go back there again.

Always a good meal. Buffet dinner was affordable. Free refills for the sides as well. Very value for money. Reservation is a must if you come after 7pm. Gets very packed.

The price is reasonable, really enjoyed the buffet set, the service was excellent. They really look after us, ask us if we needed to top up more of the sides, change our griller if it gets charcoaly. Will definitely bring my friends to enjoy a wonderful korean bbq here.

Me and my friend came during lunch time. We werr slightly disappointed that the charcoal grill isn’t available in afternoon. However, the food was delicious and the owner was very friendly. The only thing I would want is a bigger condiment plate as I had to keep asking for refills

Dedicated service staff, Friendly. The food is delicious, clean, but the meat cuts are a bit thick, it is difficult to eat. Nice and clean design restaurant. Filtered water bottles need to add ice. Overall everything is very good and I like it very much.

They forgot our order and we waited very very long, in the end they also forgot an item. But, it fould be due to understaffed, on NYE.

My first visit. We had the BBQ (meats only) buffet which is super value for money!! Buffet include beef, pork and chicken cuts. Rice/kimchi soup/pancake etc, can order from ala carte menu. Pork belly cuts were thick and just right!! Free flow egg on the bbq pit as well!! There is also a private seating area for tables of 10pax and above. Buffet is $25.90++ on Mon-Thu; $27.90++ on Fri-Sun. There were ala carte sets for meat too. I will come back for the buffet!!

The restaurant is really good for gatherings, air con is strong as compared to other Korean BBQ restaurants. Food is good, we tried the BBQ buffet, meat is really fresh just that the marinated ones are too salty. Will recommend sticking to the none marinated meat. Will go back again!

Nice place with authentic Korean bbq with reasonable price. Steam egg can be nicer, we find it too dry. Will visit again next time. We had a hearty dinner.

The food was very good, and the service was great. Marinated beef was the highlight. Also, even though staff is not all Korean, it seems like the proprietor is actually a Korean lady!

We have been to Don Dae Bak multiple times over the past few years and the experience was always good. However, this visit was lacklustre. The lunch buffet was cooked over a portable gas stove when it used to be charcoal (you only get charcoal for dinner service even though it is the same price), the beef brisket was limited to 1 serving per person (it was previously unlimited), and probably due to the portable gas stove, we didn't get to enjoy the egg on the side with the meats. Pretty disappointed that quality has dipped.

staffs were very friendly and nice. they are prompt in swapping the metal plate to ensure that our food is cooked with minimal charred. would like to give a shoutout to the middle-aged(??) korean lady for being really polite because she told us that our eating time is over, despite us saying it’s fine to leave since our time was up and there were customer in line waiting to be served. very good service, keep it up :)

Owner was a hospitable lady who was really proactive , changing the charred grill swiftly whenever needed . She'd offer to help to febreeze at the end of the meal too

Prices have risen (and now beef brisket is not free flow) but not to an unacceptable level. I also note that along with the price raise however, they have repainted the entrance and changed some of their equipment. They also seem to have more staff now, so it was easier to get a server's attention. Good meat and free flow egg as usual. However, now many large portions of each type of meat are given each time, even when you specifically tell the server to give just 1 piece, and even after we asked for the amount served to be lessened. May want to look into that so customers don't waste food unintentionally.
