Alright, so after falling in love with Korean cuisine back in Switzerland, my girlfriend and I were looking for more. We'd never visited Daebak before, so we decided to go and see if it's good. ...it's not good. It's awesome. Our first impressions from the restaurant were already pleasant - good locale, decent interior decoration and neat table placement are an important and welcome first sight. After we sat down, we got a complete and thorough explanation of how everything works, and we started ordering. The meat served here is spiced just right, and the quality's good, too. If you manage to grill the meat correctly, you're looking at something you'll barely even have to use the meat scissors on, it'll practically fall apart around your chopsticks. Excellent. The stews and cold noodles were really good as well, the tastes blend very well together. The dessert menu is lacking somewhat as it only has four ice cream flavors, but they are quite good and also pretty big for single scoops, so dessert is still very much worth it, especially if you combine it with a warm drink. Food was excellent. Dessert was delicious. Drinks were good. Service was commendable. All in all - a very recommendable experience that'll definitely have us coming back sometime!

The service and everything was great, but my low rate is because of the fact that they advertise on their website that ALL their meat is Halal except for the dumplings. However, when we arrived there it seemed that they also served pork meat which means that not ALL the meat is Halal like they advertise on their website. I changed this review from 2 stars to 1 star, because I received a reply from the owner of the place and he tells me that Pork meat is considered not allowed by islamic rules and so it is not neccesary to put it on their website. Hereby the owner thinks that I made a claim about not telling the people that the pork isn’t Halal, but that’s not what I have complained about. As you can see in my above complain it is about advertising on their website that ALL THE MEAT is halal. With this statement it looks like that they don’t serve pork at all since pork is also meat and can never ben Halal… However the owner is acting like I told him to inform the customers that “the pork isn’t halal” which again wasn’t my complain, but that the website doesn’t mention anything about pork meat at all except that “All the meat is Halal” as shown in the picture. The pictures says it all…

Honestly I think this is more all you can eat than Korean BBQ. BBQ dishes are quite limited. Don't expect this will be authentic Korean food. Even signature Korean dishes are more like "fusion". BBQ Beef dishes are good but the rests like seafood are boring. Warm dishes taste like other all you can eat restaurants. Gimbap looks like sushi. I think it's funny that they have sweet and sour (kinda Chinese dish) fried chicken instead of yangyum chicken ;) Pickled dishes such as kimchi, cucumber, radish... are a bit sweet for me. Stews are not special, egg white is overused. It feels like they cook one basic soup and they just add some stuff regarding to what is the order. It's very busy but quick service. And they dont have BBQ Smoke extractor - a must have/typical thing for a Korean BBQ restaurant. To sum up, it's an OK restaurant to hangout with friends and family who love All you can eat but want something different. This restaurant is a mix: combining "all you can eat" Dutch style with "Korean food" which is trendy nowadays together.

This place was bookmarked in my Google maps for a long time. Really wanted to visit it, as we love Korean barbecue and finally got a chance, but in return we got a very disappointing experience. We came with a six year old child who does not eat meat and spicy food. We said that the child will not eat. We specially fed her before the restaurant. The manager told us that the child could not sit like that, we had to pay 17 euros, just for her to sit. This was explained by the fact that they cannot control whether the child eats or not and also so that other visitors are not offended. I note that the restaurant was empty, only 4 visitors, there were no children. We were not offered any other options. It was easier for them to lose an average bill of 100 euros for two adults than to solve the problem. Not a customer-oriented restaurant. So parents with kids, who doesn’t eat BBQ are not welcomed there. You have to pay for a seat.

I had an amazing experience at Daebak Korean BBQ in Utrecht! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. The service was top-notch, and the team made sure to explain the menu and grilling process clearly, which was really helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. The meats were fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the side dishes complemented the meal beautifully. Everything was bursting with authentic Korean flavors, and I especially loved the variety they offered. The atmosphere was also fantastic — lively, yet cozy enough to enjoy a relaxing meal. The setup of the BBQ grills added to the fun and interactive dining experience. All in all, a wonderful place for both Korean BBQ enthusiasts and those trying it for the first time. Highly recommended! For all the above Daebak Korean BBQ gets an additional 5 stars from me.

It's a decent ayce Korean bbq place, but just not amazing. The dishes were decent. The raw meat for the grill was not spiced that differently so most of the variations somehow tasted very alike. You do have one dipping sauce, but that does not beat the pirpose of having a variety of tastes. Besides that, the bibimbap or the other fried/grilled dishes are just fine. Once again, nothing amazing. The atmosphere was dark-ish and felt like a regular restaurant. The service was fine. They do what you you would expect, without a friendly touch. The timing of our visit also didn't helped with the overal experience. We went during the summer and sat next to the window (at the second part of the restaurant. Our table was often enough being bothered by flies, which I want to say it's hard to avoid. But I haven't experienced this in other Korean bbq restaurants.
