    Didn’t like that for the grill the seats are cramped up and you have to step down in a narrow space under the table and walk with dirty shoes on the platform and the seats are on the same platform. No place for coats. The servers have to awkwardly bend and grill through a narrow space between the seats. The whole experience was not enjoyable at all. The food was good but not with this mental stress. Why not have the grill on a normal table?

    We were in a group of 4 adults and kids. Waiters were not attentive, we actively had to seek out for attention and when they came most of them were grumpy. They also charged us 18% mandatory tip for servicing a large group, when it was actually 4 adults they were serving (and inattentive). We spent more than 400$ (close to 500$ including tips) but they kicked us out within 2 hours.

    Absolutely delicious food, solid and you can’t go wrong with any item in the menu. Highly recommend this restaurant for any gatherings/ lunches. Never been disappointed. It is a bit pricier than most places but the lunch special is worth looking up. I actually had an appetizer as a Main course, Jap chae and it was a full size plate. Big portions. You won’t go home hungry but going back for more!

    This was my first time. We chose one of the cooking tables. There was a lot of meat choices so not the best place for vegetarians. The seats are difficult to get in and out of. There is bench seating and they have seats with no legs but backs for support and then your feet go in the floor. It is comfortable once you are sitting. I wouldn’t recommend this for an older person. The food was amazing, though. The meat was perfect and tender. The shumai were the largest I ever saw. This prices are very high so I would only go for a special event. But it is worth it:

    We tried Dons Bogam during our recent vacation to NYC. We had never had Korean BBQ. The food was incredible, and it was such a fun experience. Per the recommendation of our waiter, we had the Prime Marinated Beef Platter for two and it was perfect. The marinade was delicious. Loved all the sides. Only downside to the evening was our waiter’s shift ended apparently and we were forgotten about until we spoke up. Other than that, I highly recommend trying this restaurant!

    We booked for 10pm but nobody informed us the kitchen closes at 10.30. We arrived 10.18, confirming 3 times we are on the way. No response. We were told on arrival that they keep the table for 15 minutes so we are 3 minutes past that time. And that the kitchen is closing. Overal - impolite and disorganised. On the contrary, the next door restaurant Kaekjeong was amazing. Great really nice people, great food and super efficient.

    Despite having reservations, the hostesses made us wait for 25 minutes. During that time 6 to 7 other groups were seated right away. The restaurant was not full, but we were made to wait. I had to ask 4 times to get out table. Completely ruin the dinner mood.

    Service was quick and succinct. Food was delectable. Don’t recommend the hot pot for two people if you don’t have a big appetite since they serve a lot. You’ll end up taking a good portion home. Otherwise their food and selections are what I want from a Korean BBQ restaurant.

    For my husband’s birthday, we dined at Dons Bogam and we had an amazing culinary experience. The restaurant is comfy and modern which we admired. The waitstaff is friendly and super knowledgeable. The menu selection is extensive; there is something for everyone. We tried the lychee soju and one of the bbq beef platters as well as the pork marinated in Cabernet Sauvignon. At the end of the meal, we had to waddle home because we were so stuffed. The quality of the meats was top notch and the table side grilling was lots of fun to watch and smell! My husband was thoroughly satisfied with the meal and we are planning to return in the near future. Don’t wait! Make your reservation today!

    NOT family friendly and VERY RUDE. Would not allow a baby in the restaurant even though I specified that there would be a baby when making the reservation and accounted for the number of guests accordingly.
