Went for the AYCE self-BBQ option, and I loved the food! They were quite busy so the service wasnt fast that day, but I still had a great time and would definitely recommend them.

Melanie, Bryan, Brian, and Doven all provided great service, the food is always sooo delicious, and they are always so giving with portion sizes!! Absolutely love it here, so so good

Good food!

Our favorite spot for Korean BBQ in Ottawa never disappoints! The meats are always fresh and flavorful, and the banchan (especially the cheese corn) is top-notch. The staff are super friendly and make the whole experience easy and fun. Best of all, it s a breeze to get a table during off-hours, so you can relax and enjoy without the wait. Highly recommend if you re craving great BBQ!

Meat quality is quite good.

Fun place to hang out with friends!

Been here multiple times, no doubt the best korean restaurant in Ottawa

If youre looking for a first time experience with Korean BBQ I highly recommend this place. The serving staff is very friendly but most importantly attentive. I appreciated their efforts and frequently checking on us and ensuring we had everything we needed. Dont be shy to ask for recommendations from the staff. They are happy to help guide you or offer suggestions. If youre going to get some of the pancakes as a side, strongly recommend the seafood ones it is very delicious. Thank you Dalgongnae staff for the great experience

No. 1 Korean barbecue in Ottawa

It so really good like always I went there with my brother and dad we got the free drinks and this time I ate the egg and it was giggly(I been in to spice recently so it was even better)

Kid-friendliness: good for kids too Food

Good shit

Super quick service, food is delicious, atmosphere is authentic !

Great service and food! Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options Food : 5/5 |

Super fun, unique restaurant experience in Ottawa. Love the atmosphere!

Unfortunately it was a huge miss for me. Usually places that charge per meat plate supposed to be better, right? Not for us. After we were seated, the greeter started our flame and we started cooking our meat plates. After a while we noticed that there is no more heat. I had to flag 3 different people asking them to fix this as at that point we were just ruining the steaks. 3 people came in to fix it and before making sure we were set, we were left with no working grill. I had to get another person to ask them to give us another table as we decided to give a try to the wagyu and at that point the grill was cold. They brought us a can of milkis as a sorry for the whole experience. To be honest the best thing from here was the beer. So so upset.

Daldongnae is our go-to place for samgyupsal (Korean BBQ). Amazing food, ambience, and affordable price.

Great food and service

Pretty good! Recommend!

Amazing service nice dinner

Amazing experience! The quality of the meat is exceptional everything was fresh, tender, and full of flavor. The side dishes (banchan) were delicious, and they kept coming throughout the meal. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Grilling the meat at the table added to the fun, and the variety of dipping sauces elevated the flavors even more. Highly recommend the marinated short ribs and pork belly. A perfect spot for a group or special occasion! Will definitely be back!

Best BBQ IN OTTAWA FOREVER

Good food and good service, love this restaurant.

good taste

Daleongnae offers authentic and flavorful Korean food! The kimchi stew and bulgogi were outstanding, and the fresh banchan added variety. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Great place, great food, kid love it!

Best Korean BBQ in town and the vibe is immaculate!

Love this place!

The food and service is always amazing

Amazing food, nice servers, homey and warm

Good

We had an awesome meal here very unique and all the food was delicious!

13 yr old boy here. This is my favorite restaurant in Canada. Love the aesthetic and the food here. I chose this restaurant as my celebration dinner when I graduated elementary school. 5 Stars!

We had a blast at this Korean BBQ! It was my second time and it was even better than when I went in June 2023.

Food and service are both good. ^^ I ate it very cleanly. ^^

Love this spot. Food, service and presentation is all spot on. Highly recommend.

We had a blast! Great meal, hospitable staff and taste sensations. Happy and happening place. Parking: Temporary issue caused by city s senseless and poorly planned road construction. Suggest Uber or give yourself extra 15 min so you don t lose your table!

Amazing ambience for an evening meal. The vibe was cool and the service was attentive. Its nice to see more Korean restaurants in Ottawa that are also from Toronto/GTA. Makes eating in Ottawa more fun and great for social gatherings. We ordered three types of cuts, which were all tasty and easy to grill. I recommend the beef finger meat, it was so tender and flavourful. Side dishes were plentiful, and although it never came, it looks like you can ask for more corn and cheese.

Super nice Korean BBQ spot. The meat is very fresh and of high quality. The kimchi pancake and the seafood pancake are yummy. However, this is a slightly pricey restaurant for what it offers. I would give 5/5 if I dont take price into account but factoring in the price, I would give 4.5/5.

Always love coming here . Staff are always in such a great mood , fun atmosphere and the food quality never disappoints

This is a one kind, special treat for Ottawans. And, sure you have the all-you-can-eat Gyubi BBQ that s similar, and is a close second, but Daldongnae has a better ambiance overall, with better quality meats, side dishes and service.

Horrible experience confirming a reservation. Wasted 40 minutes. Do not bother. Extraordinarily poor attitude from a server asked a simple question (differently phrased multiple times) and he was incapable of answering. I travelled to the other destination and asked, if I took another 10 minutes to arrive to this destination could I keep my reservation. He kept denying I had a reservation and explaining to me that the restaurant was too full skirting around the original question. He was intentionally stalling and refused to understand me to repel me from even making a new reservation with the restaurant presumably because it was too busy. Horrible experience. This service is unacceptable. Extremely upset over my time wasted 40 minutes. Edited to attach a photo of my reservation. Train your staff better. This is unacceptable.

Nice variety.

Came here as a group for Korean BBQ and we loved it! The servers were nice and explained to us how to best grill each type of meat we ordered. The side dishes were good and the cocktails were really well done too!

Absolutely delicious Korean bbq and impeccable service. Dishes came out quickly and were fresh. Will return when in Ottawa!

A gem of a restaurant in Ottawa! From the fresh quality and delicious food, to the atmosphere and excellent customer service, we had a wonderful experience. The restaurant is also clean and the price point is fair for the quality and quantity. Thank you!

Good location and I had a decent time.

Had a fantastic experience here! Doven and Case provided excellent service, Seint prepared amazing side dishes, and Chef Bobby cooked everything to perfection. Highly recommend this spot for delicious Korean BBQ!

Wow! So much food! All delicious. Service was great. The thinly sliced pork belly and boneless short rib meat were excellent as were all the sides and sauces. I also had the tiger prawns but they were kind of messy to grill/eat as they were heads-on shelled. It would be nice if they split the back and deveined them before bringing them to the table to help the prawns grill more evenly. Other than that everything was great and terrific value. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food and fun experience! Amazing service- attentive and friendly.

It was our first time, and we will definitely be back. I found tables small for groups of 4 but perfect for date night. Amazing Service!

I was only one person so I didnt get the BBQ. What I did have, which was kimchi soup and pancake, was delicious. Surprisingly, one of my favourite sides was the acorn jelly. The service was also excellent. I would definitely recommend going here.

Service was great.i had a good time.food was great.

Korean barbecue, the atmosphere is really full of the shop, must order boneless short rib, finger meat, pork belly and pork neck, personally think the most delicious 4, it is recommended that a person 1 and a half or 1 part of meat, this order is just right, the side dish can be infinite cycle, corn really added again and again, roast for a long time more fragrant, Kelp eat a lot of plates, small dish master is me, small dish mashed potatoes inside apple, sweet, recommend recommend

Top notch

Its an authentic Korean Yakiniku restaurant that you can enjoy in Ottawa! Here, you can enjoy grilling fresh meat at your own pace, and its great to enjoy a meal with friends and family. The thickly sliced samgyeopsal and short ribs are especially delicious, and there are plenty of sauces and side dishes, so you can enjoy a variety of flavors. The inside of the store has a homely atmosphere and is extremely comfortable. We also have a wide variety of lunch menus and great value sets, so its perfect for a quick meal! Its a place where you can enjoy yakiniku and have a good time, so if youre in Ottawa, be sure to visit! You are sure to make wonderful memories with delicious food.

Service was 10 out of 10. Restaurant decor was totally selling for me. We didn t order the bbq but all of the dishes we did order were great! Recommend the kimchi pancake, it s a must try for me.

Excellent Experience

The food was very good its definitely the best korean barbecue in ottawa

The food is delicious however the service is lacking. I know they are trying their best but it is always so busy when I go there and I always have issues with service taking so long. Since they do reservations they should know to be prepared for the service for the night. More staff or better organization is needed :/

The staff are friendly and delicious. The sweet potato pumpkin salad and corn cheese are sweet and delicious. I enjoyed it haha.

Been twice! Both times were great, excellent service and the table grill is perfect for a quick and inexpensive meal. Food quality was great. Will be back for sure!

We did dine in today with our kids, it s a super kids friendly restaurant. The staff and the food are awesome.thank you all!

Dear muscular and handsome manager, thank you for taking good care of me despite your busy schedule. It felt like it had been a long time since I came to Korea. Stay healthy always~^^

The best restaurant in town!

We stopped at this place by chance and we loved it! Good atmosphere, very nice decor and above all the concept of the incredible Korean barbecue! A good taste experience! Accompaniment as desired with different choices of meat. I recommend with my eyes closed!

I loved everything about this place! The quality is good; theres also a lot of options. I was full after 10 bites LOL!

Reasonably priced, amazing variety, delicious, and super fun! Super recommend!!!

Amazing food!! Great service and very authentic (uncles drunk on soju for Ambiente) Vegetarian options: They have a vegan option with many vegetables which is great!

Very tasty Korean BBQ, the meat quality is visibly better than many other BBQ places we went to, like beef hanging tender and beef finger.

The best beef Ive eaten in my life !

Great food , friendly staff.

First time at this Korean BBQ spot! The service was amazing, they are super attentive and refilled everything so quickly which we appreciated. I LOVED the soup and cheese corn and the meat was super juicy and delicious. I personally don t eat pork and the waiter offered to bring me a separate grill and beef fat instead of pork fat to cook the meat. Super kind of him. FYI: My friends preferred the thinly sliced pork over the thick sliced. So make sure you specify the cut you want when ordering. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

I have been to multiple Daldongnae locations in Toronto and in Montreal but based on my experience, this place had the best service ever out of all its locations. I really enjoyed the meal thanks to the friendly and thoughtful service from the staffs.

We were a group of 10 and unfortunately our party had to split into two tables, but we had a very fun time! Service was great - everything was explained to us although sometimes it was hard to hear because of the noise! Refills on side dishes were quick. Some of the side dishes were new to me (like the acorn jelly). I have no spice tolerance and found most of them spicy, which others didnt at all. Food was good. I ordered a serving of pork belly with skin and mushrooms. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options with a separate grill.

Nice Korean BBQ experience. Every table has at least one gas burner for a hot plate (larger tables have two burners). You pick the meats or vegetarian choices. There are several cuts of beef and pork, plus one vegetarian. The beef and pork cuts are in the $24-$30 range, and are meant for a person. Vegetarian choice is around $20 (also meant for one person). You must order at least two selections (i.e. dont come by yourself). There are a bunch of sides that come with each order. Rice is extra. Nice ambiance, clean facility.

I used to always go to the one on bloor st when I lived in Toronto. Was so excited when I first heard about the new location here in Ottawa. But meh.. not worth it. I know it s under the same name but why does it taste different..? And it s just a barbecued meat.. and those familiar side dishes I eat at home all the time. Maybe my taste bud was off that day but I ve never been there again ever since. Service was great and so attentive!

I don t know why this store was very good when it first opened. Now that the dt store has opened, this store has started to get worse and worse. The last time I went to eat the side dishes, they tasted inedible and the dining spoons were gone. It smells like detergent and the bowl is stained with oil. Its really hard to explain, but DTs is fine.

We entered by chance... soon I thought I had made a mistake... because I had no idea how it works... the girl was very kind and considering why we dont speak the same language, she helped me by explaining everything slowly. The truth is I confess that I almost left! Because I was afraid I wouldnt like it... What happened? It was the best experience Ive had in Ottawa! What you have to do is: each person chooses between pork, beef, Wagyu or vegetables (only 1 dish) that price is what the food will cost you... the rest of the dishes are put by them and they will answer them if you are several. The starters are an extra, if you are very hungry you ask for it, if not a little rice to mix with the sauces that they give you . Im going to return before returning to Spain because I simply loved it . I want to thank the staff for the good treatment and attention. The bathrooms are clean and original.
