Danjee

There are many of these restaurants doted around the CBD but this one was memorable - the food was excellent and quick to be served. The waiters friendly and attentive. If you go there in a group make sure you book well ahead as it gets packed with patrons. Clearly a very popular eatery. Highly recommended.

Haven’t been in a few years and believe it’s changed management. Our experience was very disappointing. The cold starter dishes was of lesser quality, meat platter was $100 and included sausages?! The poor staff was spread thin and struggled to get to all the tables and requests and many of our asks were never delivered on or took 3+times to ask. Booking system was also messy as no one the day bookings allowed online but when we tried to call many times through the day, they did not pick up once.

Catching a film on the Easter long weekend gave me the perfect excuse to revisit Danjee Korean BBQ Restaurant. Located in an alleyway just near Event Cinemas, this Korean BBQ restaurant puts out above average Korean dishes. Even taking their latest reservation (8.30pm) into a mostly empty restaurant (the new normal for the second sitting) saw us receive one of the best kimchi jeon ($28) I’ve had. This crisp and airy spicy pork and pan-fried kimchi pancake was great against complimentary and happily replenished banchan (side dishes), including their standout kimchi. My other highlight was the dwejigogi dolsot bibimbap ($22). Presented in a super-heated stone bowl, this combination of spicy pork and black wild rice with kimchi, pickled and fresh vegetables, crisp seaweed and a raw egg combined into a very tasty melange. The temperature of earthenware serving vessel gives the rice a desirable crunchy crust. We also ordered bul dak ($48), a hot and spicy chicken dish with tteokbokki (rice cakes), pineapple pieces and a dusting of cheese melted over the top. It’s a particularly fiery dish here, so make good use of the pickled radish to put out the fire in your mouth. We over-ordered and ended up with enough containers of food to enjoy a no-cook dinner the next day. It was all so good, I will not leave it so long between visits again.

Being located at a convenient place, the restaurant gives a fine dine experience with its amicable and welcoming staff. The wait time is very conceivable so thats a plus, although as a personal suggestion there could be more vegetarian options on the list but the existing ones are good too. Presentation of the food is commendable and gives the authentic feeling. Dine in space is clean and tidy, keeping in maneuver the reverance of regulations relevant to the post pandemic guidelines.

Very disappointed with the service and quality of food. First, our meat arrived 55mins after sitting down at the table. Secondly, on a table of two grill.. one grill was not working so a group of 8ppl had to share one grill. Third, the gas canister under the grill was on FIREEE! And to make things worse… the waiter forgot to bring our rice bowls. At the end, when informing the staff about all the issues, they confirmed they were aware of all the issues and that a big factor was staff shortages.. A message to the owner, if you can’t manage or run a restaurant CLOSE IT! You ruined my appetite for kbbq now. #sydneysworstkbbq

Food was excellent. Wasn't busy when we arrived. It was a last minute decision to dine here and we had a 5 month old baby with us. The restaurant is not a pram or accessibility friendly restaurant. The staff didn't seem particularly happy that we needed the pram to leave the baby in at the table (she was sleeping in it, and she can't sit up unsupported in a high chair yet). Besides the pram issues, good food and excellent food service.
