" I was quite disappointed with my visit to Daebak. Although the food had potential, the service was lacking and the portions were unusually small for the price. The banchan could be better, and it felt like I was just another table for them. I doubt I will return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a treat! Daebak has such a friendly environment and the food was mouthwatering. The beef brisket was my favorite, and I loved the endless sides! The only downside was the cramped seating. I'd suggest making a reservation, especially on weekends. Still a delightful experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" The BBQ at Daebak is definitely worth trying! I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly service and how they cooked the meat for us—it saved a lot of hassle. The atmosphere had a vibrant vibe. I ordered the B1 combo which was fulfilling, but it could use more variety in sides. Overall, a good experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Meh. I had high hopes for Daebak given the hype, but my visit didn't live up. The food was average and service felt rushed. Our drinks were forgotten, and my meat was undercooked at first. The atmosphere was lively, but I wished for a better overall experience. Probably won't be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty disappointing experience at Daebak. While the food was decent, I found the service to be very unprofessional. Our server was rude when I asked about the menu, and the wait for food felt abnormally long. I came hoping for a great Korean BBQ experience, but I might choose another place next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Daebak offers a decent Korean BBQ experience, though I felt the service could be improved. The food was well cooked and flavorful, but there were instances where the staff seemed unhelpful. The ambiance was lively, which added to the vibe. Overall, a mixed bag of an experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a fabulous dinner at Daebak! It was my first time trying Korean BBQ, and the staff were so helpful in explaining the menu. The atmosphere was cozy, and the noise level was acceptable. The food was cooked fresh right in front of us, and everything was delicious. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
