This restaurant apparently has a business relationship with Sikgaek Korean Restaurant located at the corner of Street 57 and Street 352, Phnom Penh?
Arrived at this Korean BBQ restaurant, around 12:45, I saw not many visitor. Only 8 people inside, plus two of us, total 10 visitors. Visitors come and go.
Unlike many restaurants and other establishments in Phnom Penh where no parking lot are specially constructed become very commons, this Dosegi Restaurant has parking space in its front yard, that can accomodate up to 4 (four) cars. The parking attendant also prepare sun-shades ready to put on your car's wind-shield, that helps a lot in reducing the temperature inside your car. I give 5 stars for that initiative.
Inside the restaurant, it is cool with its air-conditioning system. It is also clean and neat. Waitress are well groomed and well trained. I also give 5 stars for that.
As for the menu book, it is also excellent. The menu book explained very well and very clearly. Besides explaining what inside the food that you order, it also features pictures of meat (beef, pork or chicken) or seafood contain in your food, as well as what part of animal they are.
This way it gives a very clear idea to the visitor, especially visitor with special dietaries, to choose from the menu. It is very often that a menu which you see from the menu book or according to the waitress' explanation does not contain pork or ham... then when the food come, it contains pork or ham. That's why, I give 5 stars for the menu clarity.
The portion is also very generous. I myself can not finish my lunch because it is to much. Next time I visit this restaurant, I should order only one menu for two 😅 Oh yes, as appetizer, they give you some appetizers, such as kimchi, soy sprout salad, sweet potato salad etc. The food itself taste good. At the end of your lunch, you will be provided with slices of fruit. Normally watermelon, as a compliment. Enjoyable.
Oh yes, this restaurant also sell Kimchi (pogigimchi) 0.5 and 1.0 kg at $5 and $10,...

Overpriced, very small portions, very simplistic interior and very poor service.
Yes, all the "Korean barbecues" in Phnom Penh are crazily overpriced. Seoul based barbecues are cheaper in its majority. Go to China and have 10 times lower prices for 100 times better experience. However, this place doesn't provide anything close to what they charge for. Other Korean barbecues in Phnom Penh are better.
Very small portions. $25 and you get 200 g of meat, and the majority of raw meat options on the menu are not even marinated. What is that?
$35 for a hangover soup? And it's not even mindblowingly delicious, it's just alright. I'm not complaining about the taste of the soup but for god's sake, $35???
At first, they didn't even want to bring the coals to us, going to cook everything in the kitchen and bring it to us cooked, so make sure to point out that you are there for the experience.
Extremely cheap interior, doesn't match the price level at all. Building up on the general expectations for the Korean barbecues to be expensive.
Extremely slow and unorganized service, we have eventually not received two of the dishes we had ordered. Didn't bother reminding them, as what we received was bad enough to skip the rest and leave. Asking a waitress to bring a bottle of soju is much more time consuming than driving to a nearby aeon to buy it. I'm not blaming little Khmer girls working as the waitresses there, God bless them, I am blaming the organization.
Talking about soju. It's $6 per bottle. Come on people, same one is $2 around the corner. And on top of that, they literally have 2 flavors only (!!), while every single mart around has dozens of flavors to choose from.
Left $100 here, stayed hungry, went to the nearby burger place to eat.
Regret coming here, not recommending to anyone. There are many others to choose...
Read moreThis restaurant is well decorated with nice ventilation and aircon, it is comfortable to dine in this bbq restaurant without getting clothes all smoky and oily when leaving.
There were a lot of Korean customers in the restaurant, I guess that represents it’s authenticity on the dishes they serve. :)
Food all taste great, small appetizers also nice, however I will give it a four stars given that the service wasn’t that good, one of the staff was cooking our bulgogi in the beginning, and then left it unattended for so long until it was dry, we were thinking she will come back but she never did till the end, which was disappointing service.
Overall I still think this restaurant serve very authentic Korean food with good taste and portion size, but service needs a bit...
