The place is so amazing. My favorite Korean spot to go to. The waitstaff are nice and helpful in picking food. I have been here for lunch and dinner. Their lunch specials are really good. My favorite is the bulgogi hot pot lunch (just minus the mushrooms for me). It's very filling and tastes so good. But their side dishes are where it's at! The pasta salad and the sweet potato dish are my favorite! I always ask for extra and they never have a problem giving them to me. Definitely give this cute place a try.

I've been here 3 times now and each time has been good in my experience . I really liked the shredded beef soup I had tonight and my friend enjoyed the sliced beef ribeye & vegetable soup. My parents enjoyed the Korean bbq and the servers helped cook and cut our meat. Overall the bbq was okay, but seeing other reviews I see that others think it wasn't that good. The service was nice and attentive. It's never been super busy when I've gone so the food is brought out relatively fast after ordering. It's a pretty spacious place and quiet, even though there is background music. It's nice and clean here too. I recommend checking them out if you are passing through Novi and want some Korean food. Especially some warm stew during the winter time!

Great food, the perfect ambiance for a date night or a girls night. The 2 person meat platter with kimchi here was really tasty and is such a large amount of food. This was my first time at Dae Jang Keum and I would say it was a great dinner. The owner helped us with cooking our platter and was our server was stellar she provided excellent service. I will definitely be back and recommend this restaurant, we really loved it. Dae Jang Keum is a must try!!!

This was our first time coming here, and we really enjoyed it! We were greeted promptly would be arrived and seated. We got there about 5:30 PM and it wasn't busy yet. That turned out to be a really good thing because we have never been here before nor have we had Korean barbecue. The server spent some time going over the menu with us, and we decided to get a meal for two even though there were four of us. We also ordered a bowl of soup and an extra appetizer The server brought out the assorted meats and put them on the grill, showing us how to cook them. Well, everything did taste good that was grilled. The four of us did agree that the Bulgogi was best. As for the sides, we all had our favorites. I really enjoyed the seafood pancake that we had ordered is the appetizer. My husband really enjoyed the kimchi and the marinated cucumbers. My mother-in-law enjoyed the miso soup. I never had fish cake before, so I'm not sure if this is how it normally is, but it was strips of very thin noodle like stuff. Lol. I know that's not really technical sounding but I really don't know how to explain it. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and I'm looking forward coming back to explore the menu further. One thing to note, is that the restaurant isn't exactly where it shows in maps on yelp...it's actually on a different section of the plaza. Also, they may have change the name of the restaurant. I am slightly hard of hearing, and I have difficulty understanding people with accents. But I hope you can find this place and give it a shot!

Great service here always. Frequent customers for years since moving to Northville and the workers recognize us and are very friendly. Cost is average for KBBQ. I like that they use an electric stove because the smoke doesn't make you leave smelling like what you ate. All the sides with the meal is excellent. Always my favorite part. Kimchi is 10/10, we all (4) had individual rice, fermented cucumbers and fried tofu were amazing. We ordered multiple servings of thin sliced beef brisket ($23.99 each), and soft tofu stew. Honestly amazing and filling. Would come again

2.5 years later, I'm updating my review for this place. They unfortunately no longer do AYCE (all-you-can-eat) but the food is still pretty good. We had five people tonight (myself, my boyfriend, and three of his friends) and we opted for the $88 combo plate, which included bulgogi, spicy pork, pork belly, and marinated ribs. I don't usually like spicy things but the pork was very good, as were all of the meats. The side dishes weren't as good as other KBBQ places in the area - there was some sort of mac & cheese dish, tofu, a salad, broccoli, kimchi, and others - but no bean sprouts, which is my preference. The combo we got was technically for three people and we ended up ordering a second combo of the same after, too. The bill was about $200 before tip and that also included an order of their dumplings ($8.99, although it says $7.99 on the menu) and two soft drinks. Compared to other places in the area (Chung Ki Wa and Korea Palace, both in Sterling Heights), it's a bit cheaper - I think Chunky, as I call it, was about $100-110 for that amount of food. However, waitservice continues to lag a little bit - we had to flag them down to order more food and also get refills, though sometimes they'd ask us about refills. The combo we ordered was supposed to come with a steamed egg and they never brought it, too - we had to ask about it. Overall I'd come back here for the food, which was very good, but I'd recommend coming with a group to split the price.

Best Korean Restaurant in all Michigan! Food - always fresh Flavors - nothing compares; authentic Service - please be patient; small business with small kitchen Prices - reasonable because of hog quality
