We've been here several times now and really enjoy how flavorful the food is. Even our young kids really like it. My favorite are pretty much anything that's spicy, the hot sauce they use is delicious. My daughter likes the brisket and pretty much fills up on that over a rice bowl.My only complaint is how expensive it is. So we only go on special occasions or when we have the extra money for it.Atmosphere is beautifully lit and we enjoy sitting at the booth seating.Kid-friendliness: We bring our kids and they enjoy the food and helping on the grill.

Really quite delicious and a great variety of banchan. I specifically love the eggplant which usually isn’t given at other Korean places nearby. Also a great lunch combo! It comes with rice, soup, and a protein. Great portion and perfect for leftovers too. Their broths are really flavorful and warming. So definitely come on by and try yaedam!

On a chilly Christmas Day, when many restaurants were closed, we stumbled upon this gem and couldn't have been happier! We were cold and hungry, with minimal expectations, but the delicious food and warm atmosphere instantly lifted our spirits. The food was absolutely incredible, warming us up from the inside out. It truly saved our Christmas!

I really enjoyed the Korean BBQ here. I'm not a huge fan of Korean BBQ, but my wife loves it so I was ready for another mediocre meal, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the meat here.We ordered the spicy bulgogi and I could not get enough of it. 10/10 would recommend. They also have soju cocktails which was too sweet for me, but it was still a fun drink. Only get if you like sweet drinks.

Very poor service. They don't listen to their customers and they don't care. We use to come to dinner here 2 times a week and we no longer go. We thought take out would be better. No. Take out is not better. They lost a good customer. There are other good Korean restaurants in the area we will be going to.

Yaedam KBBQ is slightly better than your average korean bbq restaurant based on the quality of their meat. We decided to go a la carte (though they do have AYCE) since we weren't very hungry. We ordered the premium pork jowl and brisket. Both dishes were good portions. Our party of three adults had plenty to eat. Each order came with a side of steamed white rice and assorted banchan. Their banchan dishes were decent, but was disappointed that they didn't provide anchovies. Also, we weren't offered refills and were only given two pieces of lettuce for wrapping. I guess refills only come when you do AYCE. Their housemade bean paste was excellent.As for the atmosphere, there could be some improvement. The lights were not turned on during our meal so it was rather dim. Also, there were uncleaned tables near us despite the restaurant being more than half empty. We came right as they re-opened from their afternoon break so not sure why there were still dirty tables.Service was decent; nothing stood out good or bad.Overall a very underwhelming experience. We won't be going back.

This may well be the best Korean food in the area! The spicy tofu soup, chicken bibimbap, and kimchi pancakes are the stars of the show.
