" I had high expectations after hearing so much about Dancen, but I found it to be just okay. The food was decent, but it needed more seasoning. Service was pleasant, but the place was crowded, and I felt a bit rushed. I'll give it another shot but not my favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was good, but the place was just too crowded for my liking. I felt the quality of food justified the prices, yet the atmosphere was overwhelming at times with noise and smoke. I was looking for a more relaxed experience; something to keep in mind if you enjoy more tranquil settings. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was good, I wish the service had met the same standard. We waited quite a while to order, and although the fire chicken was delicious, it took longer than expected to arrive. The ambiance was lively and fun, and there was an exciting energy throughout the restaurant that I enjoyed. Enough to consider another visit even with the service hiccups. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dancen is a fantastic choice for Korean BBQ lovers. The food is authentic, and the friendly service made our experience great. It is the perfect place to unwind with friends or family, and those soju cocktails are to die for. I would recommend the sweet marinated pork rib, it was a highlight of our meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dancen deserves all the praise it gets! The food is not only flavorful, but it also feels very authentic to Korean cuisine. Although it can be a bit smoky inside, the overall experience is enjoyable with fun music and friendly staff. I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a delightful spot for a late-night craving! The grilled dishes and rice cakes were flavorful and authentic. Dancen really brings Korean street food to life! The only minor issue was the wait for tables, but I enjoyed the social atmosphere while waiting. Definitely a spot I would frequent. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Dancen, I leave with a full stomach and a happy heart. The fire chicken is the best, especially with cheese on top! The ambiance is bustling and fun, making it a perfect gathering spot for friends. Don’t forget to grab a soju cocktail to go with your meal! " (*Curated Review*)
